Lin Yu gritted her teeth in fury and trembled as she listened to the voice coming through her phone, thinking, âI didnât expect this Yun Nan to be so extremely despicable. To actually speak ill ofme behind my back like this!â Shi Gao also heard Yun Nanâs words at the same time. Shi Gao frowned. âCould it be that the one whoâs injured was truly Shi Nian? Shi Ke is fine? What the h *Il are those people doing over there? Such incompetence! Each one of them is more idiotic than the next!â
Yun Nan tried to keep up the one-sided conversation while communicating with Shi Ke on her phone. Puzzled, she typed, âWhy is Lin Yu paying so much attention to us? Whether itâs me, Shi Nian, or even you, Big Brother⊠we have nothing to do with the Xi or Lin families on the surface.â
Shi Ke read the text, shook his head, and used his specialized phone to send out orders. At the same time, he also received news from Shi Nian: âTheir target is the Shi Corporation.â
Shi Guangâs eyes widened, and he showed the message to Yun Nan. Yun Nanâs eyes also widened, and her heartbeat quickened.
Yun Nan thought of many possibilities in a flash but knew she couldnât panic; they still had to fool their eavesdroppers. Shi Ke had a solemn expression, and Yun Nan simply took a magazine and sat down with it. Her brain was working at top speed, and she didnât have any spare energy to organize her words, so she robotically recited an article.
It was a sleepless night for them both and others, too. There was an overcast atmosphere in the Shi Corporationâs headquarters. The mood was so low that all the employees walked on eggshells. The Shi Corporationâs stock price suddenly soared yesterday, causing huge waves in the stock market, but before the shareholders could jump for joy, it plummeted and continued to do so until the stock market closed.
The news that the Shi Corporationâs chairman, Shi Nian, was dying from serious injuries had spread like wildfire and immediately made the headlines of all the major news sections. All the shareholders rushed to the company today to hold an emergency meeting. The issues that everyone was most concerned about were Shi Nianâs injuries and who would take over the Shi Corporation.
Chang Yuan expressionlessly sat beside the chairmanâs seat, listening as everyone expressed their views and spoke as if Shi Nian was already dead. Seeing them all stealing glances at the empty chairmanâs seat, Chang Yuan really wanted to rage at them!
These people usually spent their days in pampered leisure, contributing nothing to the company, and would grin from ear to ear when they received their dividends. Yet theyâre showing such ugly greed at the slightest hint of trouble now.
Someone pushed open the door of the conference room. Shi Yun leisurely walked in with one hand in his pocket, and behind him were his daughter-in-law, Yun Nan, and his secretary. Chang Nian finally heaved a sigh of relief and stood to welcome them, giving up his seat to Yun Nan.
room gradually quieted. Everyone felt slightly embarrassed by Shi Yunâs gaze.
Shi Yun cleared his throat and stated, âI have a piece of news to share with you all. I donât know or care if itâs good or bad news for you guys, but Shi Nian isnât dead!â
Everybody was stunned. A shareholder at the side took advantage of his ties with the Shi Corporation and smiled. âThatâs going a little too far, isnât it? Of course, we know that Shi Nian isnât dead, but isnât he seriously injured and still in critical condition? Mr. Shi! âA country cannot be without a king,â and our huge corporation cannot be without a master!â
Shi Yun nodded. âYouâre absolutely right! Iâm here today to announce that while
Shi Nian is hospitalized, his wife, Yun Nan, will handle all the affairs of the Shi
Corporation!â
Yun Nan stood up under everyoneâs stunned gazes and bowed slightly. âItâs a pleasure to meet you all. I look forward to working with you.â
âMr. Shi⊠I donât think thatâs a good idea,â the shareholder who was the first to recover said unhappily. âHow can you let an outsider manage the Shi Corporation? Isnât that a joke?â
The others also responded furiously. âYeah! It wonât do! Isnât that fooling around with the interests of us shareholders?â
âOur stocks would fall and hit the down limit once this news is announced!â
âThis is preposterous! You canât mess around like this, Shi Yun! We have no objections if it were you coming back to manage the Shi Corporation, butâbut this? Shi Nianâs wife?! That wonât do at all! No, no way! Absolutely not!â
Shi Yun didnât say anything in the face of the crowdâs doubts. Some older shareholders moaned and groaned, âI wouldâve sold my shares when someone came and asked to buy them these past two days if Iâd Imown this would happen!â
âYeah, thatâs right. I might as well have sold my shares and cashed out! How stupid of me not to do so!â
âHow could our Shi Corporation fall into such a state? This is ridiculous!â
Shi Yun, Yun Nan, and Chang Yuan shared looks. Everything was as theyâd expected; someone was trying to buy out the Shi Corporation. Shi Yun raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet..
