Chapter 839: Reprimand from the Stockholders
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Half an hour later.

Connor and Quenna finally finished printing all the documents.

He looked at the pile of documents in front of him, his expression filled with astonishment.

Unable to resist, he looked at her and asked, “Do we really need so many documents for a shareholder meeting?”

“Generally, it’s not necessary, but our chairman didn’t inform us about the main content of this shareholder meeting, so we have to prepare all these documents just in case. Even if we don’t use them, we need to have them ready. If the chairman needs them and they’re not there, we might face penalties or even dismissal if any mistakes occur…”

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and explained in a soft voice.

“So strict?”

He furrowed his brow and asked.

“Yes, that’s the life of employees like us…”

She sighed helplessly and then said to him, “Alright, let’s move these documents to the conference room now and arrange them in order. Then, I can consider my task completed.”

It was only 9 o’clock in the morning, and there was less than an hour left until the shareholder meeting started.

And that time was already enough.

“Okay…”

Connor nodded lightly, preparing to pick up the documents.

“Ring ring…”

Just then, her phone suddenly rang.

After hearing the phone ring, she hurriedly put down the documents, took out her phone, and answered the call, saying softly, “Manager, I have finished printing the documents I was responsible for. I will now deliver them to the conference room…”

“Quenna, there’s another document I need you to print. I sent it to you on Facebook…”

The manager’s tone seemed urgent.

“What? Another document?”

Upon hearing this, a trace of excitement flashed in her eyes.

“Yes, I forgot to send it to you yesterday. Please print it out quickly. This document is very important!”

The manager said in a low voice.

“Alright…”

She checked the time, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes. She hung up the phone directly.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, seeing the unpleasant expression on her face.

“What else could it be? My manager just called and said there’s another document to print. It’s so annoying. Since there are so many documents, why didn’t they send them all at once? We have less than an hour left now. What if we can’t make it in time?”

Her expression grew anxious as she spoke, then she walked to the printer and started printing the document.

Ten minutes later, she and Connor finally finished printing all the documents and carried two stacks of A4 papers into the conference room.

“What should we do next?” Connor asked softly.

“Let’s quickly arrange these documents. There’s less than fifteen minutes left now. If the two of us work together, we should be able to finish in ten minutes…”

Quenna glanced at her phone, her tone anxious as she spoke to Connor.

“Okay…”

He nodded lightly and began to arrange the documents.

While arranging the files, he briefly glanced at them and realized that they were mostly financial reports of the company. However, these financial reports had almost nothing to do with the shareholder meeting he was going to hold.

If Connor had known earlier that things would turn out like this, he would have directly told Thomas what he wanted to do.

Like this, lower-level employees like Quenna wouldn’t have to be so busy.

“Mr. Carter, why did you come so early?”

“Mr. Quintin, you’re here early too!”

“This is our company’s newly appointed chairman’s first shareholder meeting. As small shareholders, of course, we have to come early. We can’t keep the chairman waiting, right?”

“Yeah, the junior chairman has been in charge of the company for a while now. There must be something important to discuss in this sudden shareholder meeting. Do you have any insider information, Mr. Carter?”

“I don’t have any insider information. Apart from Mr. Thomas, we haven’t met or talked to Mr. Connor. Where would I get insider information from…”

“…”

Just then, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the conference room.

Accompanied by company staff, several middle-aged men walked towards the conference room while chatting.

“We’re done…”

Quenna glanced at the time. It was already 9:50 AM, and there were less than ten minutes left before the shareholder meeting started. Yet, the shareholders had already arrived.

After all, this was Connor’s first shareholder meeting, and the shareholders deliberately arrived early to leave a good impression on him.

If it were before, they would never have come early.

Her expression began to grow nervous because she knew that if the shareholders found out that her work wasn’t completed, they would be extremely angry.

Connor, unaware of the situation, continued arranging the documents.

“Connor…” she called out with a furrowed brow.

“Quenna, what’s wrong?”

Connor looked up at her, his expression showing some confusion.

“Stop arranging, someone’s here…” she said in a low voice.

“What does it have to do with us if someone’s here?”

He stopped his actions and looked at her, asking with a puzzled expression.

“Squeak…”

Just then, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Several middle-aged men walked into the conference room.

“What are you two doing in the conference room? The shareholder meeting is about to start. Don’t you know?”

One of the middle-aged men, after seeing Connor and Quenna, furrowed his brow and asked with a puzzled tone.

Her eyes flashed with nervousness, and she opened her mouth to explain.

But when this middle-aged man saw the documents in his hands, he instantly understood what was going on.

He widened his eyes and shouted, “The shareholder meeting is about to start in less than ten minutes, and you two haven’t arranged the documents yet? What are you two doing?”

“Yeah, what are you two doing? The shareholder meeting is about to start, and you haven’t arranged the documents yet. Are you planning to quit?”

“When did our company hire such employees? The meeting is about to start, and they’re still here arranging documents. If the chairman sees this, what will happen?”

The expressions on the other shareholders’ faces also turned angry, and they began whispering in low voices.

Meanwhile, she stood dumbfounded in place, her expression filled with despair.
