Chapter 1093:
“Good,” Cruz said, rising to his feet with finality. “Then it’s settled.” Linsey was officially named the new president of Lawson Group.
The decision had taken mere minutes, but its impact was profound. Everyone in the room now viewed Linsey not as a newcomer, but as a savior.
And saviors, they knew, deserved worship.
“Linsey, your influence is truly impressive. To rekindle a partnership with CR Corporation… remarkable.”
“Indeed, such decisiveness. Just what Lawson Group needs.”
Linsey couldn’t help but smile at their sudden change of tone.
How ironic, she thought.
They all knew the truth—this deal was Collin’s gift to her. And yet, they didn’t hesitate to shower her with flattery, hoping to curry favor. But that didn’t matter. Let them believe what they wanted. What truly mattered… was reviving the Lawson Group.
Moments after the board meeting concluded, word of Linsey’s appointment as president rippled through the Lawson Group like wildfire.
Alongside this, rumors swirled that Linsey, now leading the company, had secured a partnership with CR Corporation. The news sparked a vibrant buzz among employees.
“Wow, have you heard? We’re going to collaborate with CR Corporation! I won’t be laid off anymore!” one worker exclaimed.
“Looks like the firm’s not going under after all, thanks to Linsey!” another chimed in.
“Linsey… is truly my hero for saving our jobs!”
“It’s not just about keeping our jobs. If this deal with CR Corporation pulls through, we might even see raises!”
The reality defied the expectations of the company’s veteran directors. They had braced for backlash, convinced that employees would resist Linsey’s appointment as president.
After all, Linsey’s youth and inexperience were undeniable.
Her background in fashion design hardly equipped her to navigate the intense demands of leading the entire Lawson Group.
Yet, astonishingly, the company’s employees embraced her appointment with unexpected enthusiasm.
Even Linsey herself was taken aback by their warm reception. After a busy day at the Lawson Group, Linsey finally retreated home late at night to rest.
“I braced myself for pushback from the staff. But instead, they not only accepted me—they seemed genuinely excited,” she confessed, settling into a chair.
Collin, listening to her recount the board meeting, let out a quiet laugh. “That just shows the strong impression you’ve already made on the team.”
Linsey pressed her lips together, unconvinced. “I suspect they’re only supportive because of your decision to partner with Lawson Group again. Why else would they trust someone like me to take charge?”
If her presidency hinged solely on being the Lawson family’s daughter, it would strike most as preposterous—especially the veteran executives, who would likely view it as unjust.
Collin shook his head, his tone sincere. “No, you have a unique appeal. My offer of collaboration alone wouldn’t have won them over so easily without it.”
