Chapter 215: Chapter 215

Cameron Spencer is the largest shareholder of Spencer Group and the chairman of the board.

The board of directors of a publicly listed company usually meets once every quarter, right before the quarterly report to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

But if there are special circumstances, a meeting can be called at any time.

Cameron Spencer, as chairman, decided to hold a meeting, and the news was quickly conveyed.

At eight o’clock in the evening, the Spencer Group board members and Spring Spencer gathered in the small conference room at the Spencer Group headquarters.

Cameron Spencer was the last to arrive.

He was seated in a wheelchair, pushed in by his secretary.

"Mr. Spencer, is your health still not better?"

"Brother Spencer, long time no see, you look even better than before!"

"Brother Spencer is rejuvenated by happy events, everyone understands! Everyone understands!"

Most of the members of the board were old friends with Cameron Spencer, friends for over a decade. Half an hour was spent cheerfully exchanging pleasantries.

A half-hour later, the formal meeting began.

Cameron Spencer frowned, looking displeased, and said, "Spring, tell your uncles how your visit to find the principal of the Capital City University went?"

This was something Spring Spencer didn’t handle well; she was frustrated that her father had brought it up at the board meeting, causing her embarrassment, increasing the pressure on her.

Yet the more pressure she felt, the more she couldn’t back down.

Spring Spencer took out the memorandum she had prepared long ago, and with a bitter smile said, "Following the board’s authorization, our original plan was to establish a scholarship at Capital City University for underprivileged students."

"However, when I went to Capital City University and met their principal, they did not agree to the scholarship for underprivileged students and instead suggested building a library, which can be named after the chairman."

As soon as she finished speaking, an older board member said sarcastically, "Can’t handle a little thing , I say women should just get married and go home to raise children. Competing for a meal ticket with men, is it really possible?"

Spring Spencer looked at the board member, knowing why he harbored resentment.

This CFO position, he had been fighting for it for his son, but Spring Spencer returned to the country two years ago and took the position instead, naturally he was unhappy.

Spring Spencer didn’t mind, and professionally said, "This is the Spencer Group board meeting, I ask board members to remain professional. Everyone’s comments will be recorded."

The man, both embarrassed and angry, pointed at her and said, "What’s with your arrogance? How did you get this position, doesn’t everyone know?! — It’s because you have a good father!"

Spring Spencer grinned gracefully, "Indeed, we all rely on our abilities and our fathers to make a living. If you have something to complain about, blame your son’s father not being as capable as mine." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

Everyone in the meeting room laughed.

Even Cameron Spencer, who had been stern-faced, curled his lips in approval, glancing admiringly at Spring Spencer, saying, "I apologize for making everyone laugh, Spring is mischievous."

He said to Spring Spencer again, "Just now you seemed like an adult, in the next moment like a child, really behaving informally."

Spring Spencer felt very at ease in front of Cameron Spencer. She even stole a moment to make a funny face, laughing as she said, "I’m the youngest, if I can bring some laughter to all my uncles, that’s an achievement for me."

"Alright, back to business." She coughed, putting away her smile, and said, "I want to ask the board members if you’re willing to this money to Capital City University to build a library."

Cameron Spencer immediately said, "It doesn’t need to be named after me, doing it in Spencer Group’s name is fine."

Within their board, there were several surnamed Spencer, all old brothers from the Spencer clan.

When he said this, these few immediately expressed agreement.

The majority of the remaining members were from the Rayner Clan, Cameron Spencer’s wife’s family.

They were somewhat displeased but did not directly oppose, only evasively said, "Since Capital City University did not accept our donation to create a scholarship for underprivileged students, let’s put it on hold. Is there really a shortage of ways to spend money?"

In fact, this was no different from opposing, it was disagreement on building a library.

Spring Spencer looked at Cameron Spencer, clearly having something to say.

Cameron Spencer nodded slightly, motioning downward with his hand.

Everyone immediately quieted down.

Spring Spencer smiled and said, "There’s one more thing I must let the uncles know; even though this donation was authorized by the board, my father has decided to take this money from my sister’s trust fund to return it to the company."

"Since this matter originally stemmed from my sister, logically it’s most appropriate for her to cover the cost."

"Although the amount is quite significant, compared to Spencer Group’s reputation and unforeseen losses, this penalty should teach her a lesson, otherwise she will not remember it."
