Chapter 254 I Want the Finance Department 

[Let’s make a script–based murder mystery of our own country.] 

After reading the comments, the shareholders actually fell silent. 

Alice had merely made a casual design. 

Yet it instantly diverted attention. 

It even salvaged Global Hotel’s reputation. 

Most importantly, Nolan Group’s stock price was now continuously rising. 

It was expected to increase by five percent at market close. 

Although this was not a huge rescue for Nolan Group, it was already a very good start. 

Once this renovation was completed, everything else would naturally fall into place. 

“Now, are all of you satisfied?” 

Hearing her question, the shareholders did not even dare to answer. 

Earlier, they had treated Alice like a criminal under interrogation. 

Now, they really could not bring themselves to apologize. 

So not a single one made a sound. 

Alice let out a cold laugh. 

She knew all too well what these old men were thinking.

But at the end of the day, these people were still investors who had put money into Nolan Group, so she could not completely disregard their dignity. 

“Do you all still think there is a problem with me using Mr. Quinn’s funds?” 

It was not that she had no money, but she could not allow herself to be taken advantage of. 

Levi gave her 200 million because he respected her. 

Since this money had come in, it had to go through the company’s procedures.

It could not be a one–person rule. 

This time, no shareholder objected. 

However, all their gazes fell on Ruby. 

Who did not know that the finance department was Ruby’s playground? 

Whenever Ruby withdrew funds, she never discussed it with the shareholders.

If there were any shortfalls, the accountants in the finance department would directly use their skills. 

The most serious incident had sent three accountants to prison. 

But the families of those three accountants were all very well taken care of. 

So over the years, these accountants had been absolutely loyal to Ruby. 

“Ms. Randall, what do you say?” 

Alice understood the principle of capturing the ringleader first. 

So she confronted Ruby directly. 

Ruby was now practically being roasted over a fire. 

She took a deep breath and slowly suppressed her anger. 

Her mind was also working at high speed. 

After a brief pause, she finally spoke slowly. 

“First of all, the matter of funds is not something I alone decide. 

“Secondly, your design is still at a budding stage. Right now, the netizens‘ acceptance is limited 

to online pictures and their own imagination. 

“This kind of theme is actually very troublesome to execute during renovation. 

“Netizens are also very strange creatures. 

“Liking it now does not mean they will like it in the future. 

“If you spend the entire 200 million on renovation, what then?

“If the profits cannot be recovered, who will take responsibility for these investments?” 

The shareholders all nodded along. 

This was indeed a problem right in front of them. 

“Ms. Spencer, it’s not that we don’t support you. 

“If you can’t recover a certain level of profit, it’s also hard for us to trust you.”

Alice understood. 

“You want me to do a performance–based bet?” 

A trace of cold light flashed through Ruby’s eyes. 

In fact, 200 million was not an amount that anyone present truly cared about. 

But Alice wanted Levi’s investment to show results, so she made Levi follow the procedures. 

Since the procedures were followed, she should have expected this consequence. 

Right now, Ruby was simply sitting back and watching from the sidelines. 

She was waiting for everyone to first exhaust Alice’s energy before acting. 

Alice smiled faintly. “A bet is fine, but what stake are you putting up?” 

The shareholders were all stunned for a moment. 

Just now, forcing Alice into a bet was meant to make her work for nothing. 

After all, for such a long time, they had seen Alice’s abilities. 

Naturally, they were willing to believe in her. 

But… 

Having them put up a stake themselves was somewhat painful. 

Ruby, however, was very calm. “What do 

you 

want?” 

Alice’s smile was gentle, but her voice carried overwhelming pressure. 

“I want the finance department.”

Ruby abruptly stood up. 

Her face turned completely dark. 

Irene also narrowed her eyes and looked at Alice several more times. 

This woman, though a country girl, had quite an appetite. 

She actually wanted the finance department!

Although on the surface she and Ruby appeared to be a harmonious mother–in–law and daughter–in–law, they had fought over the finance department for many years. 

In the end, because Ruby had more helpers, Irene could only step aside. 

Speaking of it, back then, she had even suspected that Ruby might be having an affair; otherwise, how could so many people help her? 

“Ms. Randall, since you want to bet with me, you need to show sincerity. After all, if I lose, I will leave the company.” 

Ruby helplessly looked at Eric. “Eric, are you just going to watch Alice make a mess like this?” 

Eric had not spoken earlier, but that did not mean he was neutral. 

He had always stood on Alice’s side. 

“I didn’t state my position just now because Alice can fully represent me. 

“Her word is my word.” 

Ruby’s expression became solemn. 

“So that means, if she fails and has to leave, you will leave as well?” 

The shareholders instantly fell silent in fear. 

They had not expected Ruby to use the finance department to force Eric out!
