Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 182 The Board Of Directors

For the next two days, Rachel was busy amending the proposal and didn't spare any time for other

small matters.

When she arrived at the company on the morning of the third day, She was surprised to find a bus

parked outside the company's building. Then, she thought to herself doubtfully, 'I didn't hear about any

business trip in the last two days. Maybe people from another department are going on a business

trip?'

She went straight to her office, only to find that some of her colleagues in the office had luggage bags

with them.

Confused, she pushed open the door to Daniel's office and walked in directly.

"Daniel, what's going on? Where are they all going?" Rachel asked, pointing at her colleagues outside

the office, who were ready to go.

However, she suddenly noticed that there was also a blue luggage bag under Daniel's office table.

"Training. We're going to have a two-week isolated training at the Streams Company's resort in the

neighboring city, " Daniel said, fixing his collar and preparing to leave.

"Now? Why didn't you inform me about this before? I didn't prepare anything, " Rachel said, looking at

Daniel in astonishment.

Daniel looked at her and said with a smile, "Mrs. Rong, did I tell you that you're included in this

training?"

"No, but I'm a member of this team. What's more, I need this training more than they do. They all have

relevant education backgrounds for this profession, while I don't, " Rachel retorted.

"Yes, you're right. I thought so too. But you have to ask your man for an explanation, " Daniel said,

taking his luggage bag and walking outside.

"Wait, " Rachel said, taking a step towards him and grabbing his arm. "Just give me 10 minutes. I'll go

upstairs and ask him."

Then, she rushed hastily to the CEO's office.

Hiram, who had arrived at his office just minutes ago, had barely sat down when Rachel came in

without knocking on the door and questioned him.

"Hiram, why am I excluded from the training?"

Hiram took off the watch on his wrist, put it into the top drawer of his table and answered, "There's no

need for you to go to that remote place. Besides, Daniel can train you later."

"But training with my team is beneficial. It can promote creative thinking, and it can also improve my

relationship with my colleagues. Why are you excluding me from it?" Rachel asked.

Hiram sighed and said, "Rachel, I admit that my original plan was to let you work as hard as them.

But after all the things that happened recently, I just want you to stay here with me safely. As for the

other things, I'll help you solve them."

Perhaps, Rachel didn't understand what Hiram was thinking. But at that moment, all Hiram wanted was

for her to stay with him.

"Hiram, I don't want any special treatment. I want you to treat me impartially as a member of the team, "

Rachel said. She could understand Hiram's care for her, but she didn't need it now.

Hiram sighed and said, "Treat you impartially? You are my wife. How could I treat you impartially?

Rachel, please stay with me. I can teach you everything you want to learn. Just stay with me and don't

get out of my sight, okay?"

However, Rachel shook her head and said, "No, I want to stay with my team. I'm leaving with them. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Whether you agree to it or not, I'm going with them."

Then, Rachel turned around and left Hiram's office.

Since Rachel happened to keep a set of clothes in her office, she could take them with her on the trip.

She could manage with just two sets since the training was only for two weeks.

Hiram sighed again after Rachel left. He closed his eyes and rested his forehead on his arm. After a

while, Chad walked into his office and said, "Hiram, Rachel has boarded the bus. Daniel wants me to

ask you whether you agree to let her go or not."

Hiram stood up and walked to the window. He stared at the bus below and said, "Let her go."

Chad nodded and sent a message to Daniel. Then, he looked at Hiram and said, "Hiram, I want to tell

you something. But I don't know if it's appropriate to say it.

Daniel is the one who saved Rachel. Usually, the person who is rescued will develop a special bond

with his or her rescuer. I wonder if Rachel could fall in love with Daniel if they spend too much time

together."

Right after he finished his sentence, Chad really wanted to slap himself in the face. He wasn't the kind

of person who liked to gossip about other people. Why had he suddenly said something like that?

Perhaps it was because when Daniel had gone to save Rachel, everybody could tell from his

expression that he cared too much about her.

Hiram narrowed his eyes when he heard what Chad said. He tapped on the window repeatedly, and

then said, "I'm not sure about other people.

But Daniel is one of the small group of people that I trust."

Chad nodded and said, "Yes, although Daniel likes flirting with women, he knows how far to go and

when to stop. Maybe I just worry too much."

Chad was worried that the relationship between Rachel and Hiram would turn sour after this kidnapping

incident, which would make it easier for someone to enter the picture now and separate them.

"Then, should I send someone to spy on her?" Chad asked.

"Okay, tell them not to interfere as long as she's safe, " Hiram said, looking at the bus, which had slowly

driven away.

Time flew by quickly.

Two weeks later, In the meeting room of the board of directors on the top floor of Streams Company's

building, a meeting was going on.

"Mr. Zhao, please don't worry about it. Streams Company has experienced hundreds of difficulties far

worse than this rumor since its establishment. The rumor this time isn't enough to harm us even a bit, "

Richard Rong said to Judd Zhao, one of the directors in the board.

"But things won't go smoothly as you expect. Mr. Rong, you have a deep-rooted positive attitude

towards the future of the company. But we are not like you. People are gossiping about our company

nowadays. And gossip can be dangerous. I believe that's the reason why our stock has been falling, "

Judd, a 50-year-old man wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, said to Richard.

"Mr. Zhao, Hiram has handled that issue better than anyone else could have. Even you couldn't have

pulled it off as perfectly as him if you'd been in his shoes. And as a matter of fact, that issue was a

critical incident. No matter what we had chosen to do, people would be gossiping about us anyway."

Richard smiled and crossed his legs.

After hearing this, Chad exchanged a glance with Luke, who was sitting opposite him.

Luke took a look at Hiram and said, "Hiram, I've already gotten to the bottom of this issue. It's the Yan

Group that is plotting against us. They used the theater kidnapping case to slander our company. I

think we should accuse them of such malicious slander."

"Luke is right. Hiram, they have been purposely telling the public that you are an irresponsible man who

treats people indifferently and keeps his marriage a secret. Your public image is dropping because of

them, "

Chad said.

Hearing these words, Judd Zhao said, "Hiram, I think you should let your wife clarify this matter."

Richard nodded and said, "Hiram, Mr. Zhao is right. It's better if Rachel is the one to clarify this matter.

You don't have to do anything. All you need to do is appear with her in public, and the rumor would

disappear."

All the other shareholders nodded along in agreement with Richard's advice, thinking it was the most

efficient way to deal with this issue.

However, Hiram, who was wearing a tailored dark-grey suit that perfectly reflected both his maturity

and his unique personality, was contemplating something.
