"Dad! Why won't you approve my proposal? What does Helen even know? She couldn't even answer the most basic questions about procurement procedures! Dad, if you're going to hand over company operations so carelessly to someone completely clueless, this company will go under sooner or later!"
Benjamin tried to mediate, "Lily, Helen is still new to this. It's natural she's not familiar with everything yet. Since she hasn't signed off on it, bypassing her to take it straight to the board really isn't appropriate."
"Uncle!" Lily snapped, her temper flaring. "Are you suggesting I just put all my work on hold and wait indefinitely until she gets up to speed? What if it takes her a month? A year? Should the entire company just stop functioning while we wait for her to figure things out?!"
