The meeting began immediately after introduction. 20 minutes later, the meeting came to a close. The meeting today was solely about Phoebe introducing herself to the board members and going through some formalities. Just as expected, most of the board members didn't support her being the CEO because they believed a girl wouldn't be able to run a large multi billion company like FIBSAM ENTERPRISES to the peak of success even though the company was already successful.
But what can they do? Nobody wanted to go against the Aurora's because of their involvement with the underground and also the largest shareholder of the company. Those who were not in support of her being the CEO simply sat down waiting for an opportunity to strike. Even Phoebe was aware of all this, she said nothing. Since she was young her parent never paid attention to her and she was left in the care of her nanny.
After the meeting with the board, she went on another meeting with one of the biggest client and Cooperate firm. the meeting today was about her convincing the them to sign a contract to collaborate with them regarding the new project they want to build in Fame City in City F.
Since one of FIBSAM's subsidiary was hotels, their project was to build a 10star hotel which has a mall, hospital and amusement park within it. Since this was the first task to perform as the CEO, she met with F&Q Company Ltd. for the contract.
Every businessman or company knew how hard it is to please Mr. Phillips, the CEO of F&Q. Most people were waiting for the newly appointed CEO to fail in convincing Mr. Phillips since they thought she was arrogant because of her family background. The meeting is to take place at the Prith Restaurant, one of FIBSAM's subsidiary near F&Q building at 11:00am.
.........
At The Prith Restaurant.
Phoebe arrived 10 minutes earlier than the set time and waited for the arrival Mr. Phillips because she heard from her grandfather that Mr. Phillips always arrives 5 minutes earlier that the set time when having a meeting with others because he believes time is the strongest factor when handling a business. When Mr. Phillips arrived, he was surprised to see Phoebe at the place since this was the first time someone arrives earlier than him in a meeting apart from his old friend Ken Aurora. Moreover since the restaurant was quite far from the FIBSAM building he was very impressed. If the impression he had on her was good, he didn't say it instead he went over to her together with his assistant still maintaining his expressionless face.
After Assistant Leon finished with the presentation, he told them about some changes he will like to make to the contract before signing. After everything was finalized, Assistant Leon praised his boss because she was able to deal with Mr. Phillips without any suffering. Something her father wasn't able to do. Phoebe was also very happy and grateful to her grandfather for the information he gave to her about Mr. Phillips but didn't show it in front of her assistant. Today she believed what her grandfather always told her was indeed true that "first impression is very essential".
