After that, only Mariana, Leopoldo and Diana were left in the room.
The man sat back in his seat, legs bent, head down, with an indescribable look on his face.
And it seemed Diana hadn't expected things to unfold this way either, and kept her mouth shut tight.
A hush fell over the scene.
In the end, it was Mariana who said:
-If there are no more, then I will go first.
With that, she was about to leave, but was instantly stopped by a cold, stern voice.
-Wait a moment.
Mariana had no choice but to stop and turned to look at Leopoldo.
-Now that Elisa has resigned, the position of design director has become vacant, so you can fill it.
Leopoldo's words were flat, as if he were talking about an unimportant matter.
Mariana raised her head and looked at Leopoldo with a slight touch of caution and doubt.
-Mr. Durán, I am afraid this is not appropriate.
At that moment, Diana, who had not spoken, stepped forward and approached the two men's side,
saying softly:
-Indeed, Leo. I know you probably want to protect Mari, but she's just joined the company and has
been promoted to design director in such a short time, I'm concerned about the staff having opinions.
Diana paused, looked at Leopoldo, whose face had not changed one iota, and added:
-In this situation, the staff will not say it directly, even if they are not convinced, after all, they do not
dare to disobey you. When the time comes, they will naturally look for problems for Mari.
Mariana listened without making any indication. She didn't even want to be the design director, and
since Diana didn't want her to be either, she was helping.
Leopold's eyes darkened and he leaned back into the chair behind him, saying nothing for a long time.
At that moment, the door opened behind him and it was Lionel. He walked in quickly and arrived at
Leopoldo's side, speaking in a low voice:
-The Narcissus Company people are still out, and the three-way cooperation has not yet been agreed
upon and completed.
In fact, due to Elisa, the collaboration meeting did not proceed normally.
-Organize a break and a quick internal meeting to explain what just happened. In addition, Mariana will
temporarily assume the position of design manager, with a one-month inspection period, and will be
transferred to a regular position if there are no failures.
Lionel was surprised by what he heard, and looked at Mariana standing to the side, his mood changed
several times in an instant, then returned to normal:
-Yes.
After saying that, he walked out.
Hearing these words, Diana closed her hands, not expecting that she could not stop Leopoldo's will to
promote Mariana even after saying that.
However, this month-long inspection period was not so easy to overcome. The fierceness in Diana's
eyes passed quickly, but the smile on her face remained soft.
After arranging the Narciso Company people, Lionel set up a meeting with the company.
Looking out over the crowd, Lionel's face was stoic, with a slight sense of oppression:
-Right now, the design director of our company, Elisa, has resigned for some personal reasons. After
the unanimous decision of the superiors of the company, let Mariana take over the position of design
director temporarily, the inspection period is one month, if there is no failure, she will be transferred
after one month.
As soon as these words fell, the crowd could not help but look at each other in disbelief, not knowing
how to react to such a sudden appointment.
The whole room froze, and some people even cast strange glances at Mariana's body with an
inquisitive sense.
-If you all have objections?
Lionel looked at the crowd below and spoke in a deep voice.
At that moment, Mariana was sitting next to Lionel, and Leopoldo and Diana had already left. Although
her face was cold, her furrowed brows revealed her inner reticence. She had the feeling that such a
promotion was unwarranted.
-As there are no objections, then Mariana will be the company's design director from now on.
After Lionel announced this final decision, she could not help but sigh in her heart. She did not know
whether this decision would be beneficial or detrimental to Mariana.
The previous three-way cooperation with Empresa Narciso and Miss Diana will be handled by Mariana
and Nuria together. Well, the meeting is over.
After hearing these words, the attendees left the conference room after being stunned for a while.
Before long, only the people who had attended the previous tripartite meeting were left in the
conference room.
At that moment, Hugo got up and reached Mariana's side, hesitated for a moment and spoke softly:
-Congratulations.
The tone of his voice was very soft, but without a trace of joy.
Mariana's expression became even more serious, but she still smiled:
-Thank you.
At that moment, Ana had already entered, evidently understanding the news of the appointment a C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
moment ago. She arrived at Mariana's side and told her with joy:
-Mari, you're great, I didn't expect you to be promoted after only ten days with the company!
Ana's face was full of smiles as she hugged Mariana to her heart's content.
In his opinion, Mariana was fully capable of filling the position of design director, so he didn't even think
about other things, he was just happy for her.
In fact, such a drastic change was something the audience had not anticipated at all. When the group
of people who had just attended the meeting sat down again, there was a different expression on
people's faces.
After Lionel briefly recapped what had happened, Mariana got up and, once again, walked to the front
of the projector and began to continue the unfinished presentation.
This time it went well and soon the words THANK YOU appeared on the screen.
-Thank you all for watching, if you have any questions you can ask them directly and I will give you
detailed answers one by one.
Mariana looked at the crowd in the background and spoke quietly.
When he finished speaking, no one raised any objections.
At that moment, Lionel stood up and took Mariana's place, looked at Diana and then looked at the
director of the Narciso Company.
-This is the design that Elamorad Company brought out, if they have no objection, we will put it into
production, and when the time comes, we hope that Narciso Company can also participate in it
according to our main idea.
The director of the Narciso Company smiled and nodded:
-Of course.
At this point, cooperation between the three parties was tentatively agreed upon.
Although she was far from satisfied, Mariana breathed a sigh of relief.
