Chapter 368: Chapter 368

Molly knew Hunter was there to back her up, so she stood up and said, "Sorry guys, I’ve got stuff to deal with. If anyone wants to quit, you better hand in your resignation today. After today, if anyone breaks the rules or acts weird, I’ll hold you accountable and demand compensation. Meeting over."

"This chick. She’s a real pain in the ass," President Louis was so irritated he could hardly breathe. His secretary quickly stepped in to give him a chest massage.

"This is too much! I’ve slaved away for twelve years in this company, and she doesn’t respect me at all," President Merlin grumbled to the other chairmen. He didn’t expect this girl to not only refuse to keep him on board but even kick him out.

"She’s now the major shareholder, and she’s got the backing of Collins Fashion," another chairman sighed. "Having a little girl leading the company just doesn’t sit right with me."

"Yeah, previously, when her uncle was in charge, although he didn’t make any big strides, at least he’s a middle-aged man, not like a little girl."

"According to the rules, when a new president takes office, there’s supposed to be a celebration party, and everyone has to attend."

Someone brought up this issue, and many of the chairmen felt a headache coming on. They had already rejected Molly taking over the company, and now they needed to throw a party to welcome her. What a drag.

Molly went to the lounge and asked someone to pour coffee for Hunter. Once they were alone, she broke into a big smile.

"Hunter, you came to back me up, didn’t you?"

"Yeah, nobody’s giving you a hard time, right?" Hunter noticed she seemed fine and didn’t seem hurt.

"During my time at Rose Management, I picked up her leadership style. Today, I managed to pull through, not sure what troubles are coming my way next."

As Molly was saying this, someone knocked on the door. It was an assistant carrying two cups of coffee.

"Mr. Collins, your coffee. President Molly, yours." After setting down the coffee, the assistant reminded her in a low voice, "President Molly, there’s a celebration party tonight to mark your official takeover of the company. It’s customary for the board of directors to decide the time and place. Please be sure to attend."

"What? A celebration party? Whose bright idea was that?" Molly was already fed up with those old directors.

Before she could complain, the assistant told her it was her grandfather’s idea, so Molly had to swallow her complaints.

"So what am I supposed to do at this celebration party tonight?" Molly had no clue.

The assistant was equally inexperienced. She just started her internship at the company, and her first task was to assist Molly.

"When I left the meeting room earlier, I heard one of the chairmen saying."

The assistant stopped, looking at Hunter, unsure whether to share this information with an outsider.

Molly caught her drift and generously said, "No problem, go ahead. Hunter is a friend."

Hearing this, the assistant spilled the beans.

"One of the chairmen said he wants to see what kind of people you can invite tonight! After asking around, I found out that tonight’s event isn’t just a celebration. It’s also a test of your connections as the new CEO. Basically, they want to see what benefits you can bring to the company after taking over. Usually, the bosses of companies who have a good relationship with you would attend your celebration party."

As soon as Molly heard this, she knew she was in trouble. She didn’t have any connections. How could she possibly invite influential people to support her?

"I was actually quite worried, but then you said Mr. Collins is our friend, and I felt relieved," the assistant let out a sigh of relief and relaxed. "Mr. Collins has a huge influence. Who in Solterra can compare to him?"

Molly glanced at Hunter, and there’s no way he would attend such a boring party, right?

Besides, Hunter had already helped her so much that she didn’t want to impose on him again.

The assistant continued, "Also, during the live broadcast, that foreign contestant Isabella mentioned you’re good friends with the famous designer Queen Abby. Is that true? If Queen Abby could come, those old directors and shareholders would definitely see you in a new light!"

Molly was even more troubled. "Queen Abby is currently in Dawnstar."

She might not have returned to the country yet.

Even if she did, she wouldn’t want to be a bother to Rose.

She can’t be bothering people over trivial stuff, right?

"What?" The assistant seemed a bit disappointed but quickly perked up. "We have Mr. Collins, that’s more than enough! Just not sure if Mr. Collins is free tonight."

Molly shot Hunter another glance, only to see him nod. "Sure, what time tonight, you tell me."

"Hunter?" Molly couldn’t believe her ears. Hunter actually agreed?

Why would he attend such a dull mini-celebration?

It must be because of Rose.

Molly felt incredibly touched but also a bit guilty, as if she was taking advantage of her friendship with Rose, but she swore she had no intention of using Rose.

"Great," the assistant began, then remembered something. "Oh, and President Molly, you’ll need to wear an evening gown tonight and make nice with those old board members."

Make nice?

Molly hadn’t expected such a straightforward comment from the assistant. "Alright, got it."

"Do you need me to prepare your gown?"

Molly replied, "No need. I’ve recently designed a set. It should be good to wear."

"Alright, I’ll be off then," the assistant tiptoed out, closing the door behind her.

Molly couldn’t help but bow deeply to Hunter. "Thank you, Hunter. I know you’re busy. Thank you for being willing to attend such a boring celebration."

"No need to be so formal," Hunter’s gaze softened. "I actually came over to discuss a collaboration."

"Collaboration?" Molly’s eyes lit up, and she couldn’t believe Hunter was interested in her small corporation.

But really?

This small corporation didn’t have much to show for.

"You placed third in the international competition, and I think we can collaborate on launching a new product," Hunter voiced his thoughts.

Molly nodded enthusiastically. "Alright, let’s do as you say! Thank you, Hunter." Molly knew it was all because of Rose that Hunter would give her such an opportunity.

"You’re being too formal again."

Hunter stood up, and Molly hurriedly escorted him out of the office.

He said, "You’re just starting to run the corporation. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come to me."

Molly looked at his profile and couldn’t help saying, "Hunter, you’re truly a great guy."
