Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 2050
Aubrey took the lead in clapping, and others followed suit. However, their applause seemed somewhat insincere as they glanced
at Stella with disdain.
Stella thought to herself, 'Well, I wouldn't feel great either if someone who knows nothing about perfumery became my general
manager.'
She had seemingly appeared out of nowhere and assumed such a prominent role in the company. Moreover, she was the
reason everyone had to pause their work just to welcome her, despite not having proven herself to the company yet. It was
understandable that people weren't pleased with her.
With Darcie absent, Aubrey didn't make things any easier for Stella.
Stella raised her hand, signaling for everyone to stop clapping.
When the applause gradually subsided, she asked, "Aubrey, when Jaylene joined the company, did you also organize such a
grand welcome for her?"
Aubrey responded with a smile, "Jaylene is just a team leader in the fragrance department, like everyone else who joins US. But
you're different -you're the general manager, and this is one of the perks that come with your position."
Jaylene added, "Stella, we're not the same. I had visited Caline before officially joining the team, so everyone already knew me.
This is your first time here, and it's important to have a formal introduction for everyone to get acquainted with you."

Stella chuckled. "Jaylene, both of US got our positions because of our family backgrounds. How are we any different? Those
who don't know might think I'm here to flaunt on my first day."
Jaylene was surprised. She hadn't anticipated Stella would criticize herself just to point out her privilege.
Not only that she directly told everyone how she got into Caline, but she also dragged Jaylene into it.
Aware that joining a company through connections wouldn't earn respect from others, Darcie had smoothed the path for Jaylene.
She took her to different departments to learn before officially starting, and then gave her a relatively low-key role to avoid
unnecessary attention.
However, with just a few words, Stella exposed Jaylene's background, causing her expression to darken despite her peaceful
tenure at the company.
Aubrey said gently, "I wasn't being considerate enough. I thought since it's your first time coming to the office, it'd be good for
everyone to meet you. It turns out that I'm making you look bad."
Stella smiled. "Aubrey, it was just a jest. No hard feelings. Since everyone's already gathered here, I'll share a few words."
Then, she addressed the crowd, saying, "I apologize for taking up your time. My name is Stella Hall, and starting today, I'll be
serving as the general manager of Caline. I don't have a professional background in fragrances and my knowledge in this field is
limited.
"However, my mother was the founder of Enchanted, and her dream was to make it an international brand. Since my father is too
busy to pursue this, he's entrusted me with the task.

"I feel he may have overestimated my abilities. How can he expect someone like me, who lacks experience, to achieve what
Darcie couldn't accomplish over the years?"
Stella's playful tone drew laughter from the crowd. None of them had anticipated their new boss to be so lighthearted.
Stella added with a smile, "But you can never say no to your father, right? Even though I've been given such a prominent role in
the company, my knowledge is probably less than that of an intern here.
"So, I hope that in the days ahead, everyone in the company can guide me and teach me about what I don't know. That way,
when my dad asks, I can at least give him a plausible ex- I mean response."
The employees exchanged glances. 'Did she almost say "plausible excuse"? I
Before Stella joined the company, there had been several notices warning employees to behave appropriately around her. So,
everyone already had a negative impression of her before she even arrived.
Some had even begun plotting how to assert their authority once she arrived.
They already had a plan for dealing with this new general manager, but they did not expect her to be so straightforward, bluntly
stating her intentions here on the first day.
All of them were confused and dared not to say anything.
Then, Luis Sawn, the manager of the fragrance department, broke the silence, saying, "Ms. Hall, you have a knack for humor.
None of US here knows everything. We're all here to learn from each other."
Damien chimed in jesting, "Ms. Hall, I heard you studied performing arts. If you had joined US earlier, I'm sure the performance
at the year-end party wouldn't have been so dreadful."
After the managers' lighthearted banter, others from different departments also spoke up, creating a lively and cheerful
atmosphere.
Aubrey then introduced Stella to the managers of each department.
Although Stella had already familiarized herself with their information at home, she acted as if she was meeting them for the first
time, exchanging greetings and shaking hands.
