D-Day (2)

"Niece, how can you say such a rude thing to your aunt?" Her husband, Yowa, glowered at Nami with obvious disdain.

"Isn't it quite obvious?" She sneered. "After all, Aunt Lisa is so adamant about me handing over the company to the hands of yourself!"

"You're still a child, so you wouldn't understand!" He scowled. "Handing it over to us would be the ideal situation, so that by the time you're an adult, the transition in handing the company back to you will be smoother."

"Why don't you drop the act? As if you're planning on handing the company back to me!" Nami slammed her fist on the table. The others flinched at the harsh sound. "In the first place, it would be much more appropriate if uncle were to be the one to succeed the company. Unlike you, uncle understands the company completely and holds the position of COO right now."

"Because he does a wonderful job as the COO, we shouldn't give him the position of CEO right now. The company still needs his expertise."

She snorted. "Is that so?"

"Of course!" He seemed to truly believe that.

"How ignorant or shall I say desperate?" Nami glared at the two. "If you look at the data, especially in America, it's quite obvious. Handing over the company to an outsider spells trouble. Not to mention, the role of CEO is usually given to the previous COO of the company once the current CEO retires. While the succession plan has not been solidified by my parents, I did the honors of doing that myself."

"What do you mean?!" Aunt screamed out.

"It has been approved by the major stockholders and the Board." Nami pulled out the copies of the documents from her drawer before throwing at their faces. The papers flew around them as if mocking them.

"From this day forward, uncle will become CEO while the previous CFO will become the COO of the company. The other positions have been given to the right people as well." She watched with glee as her aunt's face darkened. "This company will never be yours."

"You... YOU-" Aunt Lisa raised her hand to hit when uncle stopped her.

"Don't you dare harm her, Lisa!" He snarled. "You not only tried to take the company from her, but now, you believe that you have the right to hit her?!"

She quieted down in fear.

"I will not allow you to touch a single hair on her head from this day forward." He warned.

"You will not be receiving my inheritance as well. Thankfully, my parents at least covered that part." Nami calmly stated.

"What do you mean by that?" Uncle Yowa's face paled considerably.

"That means that I inherited the stocks and have now become one of the major stockholders of the company. While my uncle will be acting as a guardian until I am of age, I am still the one who holds the power over it. I also inherited the house." She smiled. "Since uncle has decided to take over the role of the guardian, I do not need to go to a foster home or need to be adopted by you and aunt."

"Do you think that your grandparents will approve of this?!" Aunt screamed once more.

"How tiresome. The swine shouldn't be so greedy. After all, I will never cast my pearls before the swine. Not in this lifetime or the next."

[Never again...]

"Your grandmother is the one who has the final say in everything!" She snapped in anger.

"Grandmother... Then ask her to come to me. I won't pull back the approved plans unless grandmother and grandfather give me a very good reason as to why I shouldn't go with these plans." Nami looked bored as she examined her fingernails.

"Once I retire as the new CEO, family members will not automatically become the next successor." Uncle interrupted aunt's tirade.

"WHAT?!" Aunt Lisa paled.

Nami laughed out loud. "If you look at the plans, you will see that the successor will be passed onto the COO or CFO. The CMO will take over as the COO and so forth. In other words, aunt, the successor will no longer be determined by outsiders, by genes, or by the major stockholders."

[Unless the CEO does a terrible job, then the major stockholders can vote, impeach the CEO, and give the position to the person next in line.]

She smirked. "Also, the stockholders will no longer be seen as the first priority in the company's decision-making process. The business will now start prioritizing the employees first before prioritizing the customers and then the stockholders."

"That is a disaster in its own making!" Uncle Yowa yelled out.

"Considering that the world is becoming more globalized and humanistic, I believe this step will solidify our reputation and brand around the world. We will become the foreleaders of change and execute it well. We do not need the old to ruin our future."

"Doing this all at once will bring about the fall of the company. Even an amateur will know that!" Uncle Yowa's eyes darkened.

"Who said that we're doing all of these changes at once?" Nami sighed. "It'll be implemented slowly and efficiently."

"Why are you doing this to us?!" Aunt Lisa's voice broke.

"First of all, I have zero interest in succeeding the company, even after I graduate from college in the future. I have my own plans and do not want anyone to interfere with that." Nami gave a thin smile. "However, it does not mean that I want to hand over to a bunch of greedy swine. That would stain and shame the hard work that my parents and my uncle put into for this company. My grandparents might have started the business but it was my parents and my uncle who built it to what it is now." She snapped.

"Any other questions, aunt?" Her eyes coldly watched their every move.

Keep the reviews coming! :D
