That middle-aged man looked very similar to Si Zhengting. In the pair of astute and circumspect eyes, there was a glint of cunning. He was Si Zhengting's uncle, Si Guangsong.
Standing behind Si Zhengting, Ji Chen looked as serious as ever. He looked at Si Guangsong as if he had just met his biggest rival.
The air in the entire conference room was also as still as ever. This scene suddenly made Ji Chen feel like he had been brought back to the time when Mr. Si took over the Imperial Group.
To Mr. Si, every board of directors meeting was a challenge.
However, Mr. Si and he had managed to pull through all of them, but this time…
Glancing at Li Li, who was standing behind Si Guangsong, Ji Chen narrowed his eyes.
This Li Li definitely had something up her sleeves! No wonder Mr. Si asked him to investigate her!
The board members streamed in one by one. Half an hour later, everyone was finally present.
Si Guangsong cleared his throat. "Since I'm taking up everyone's time, I shall cut to the chase and talk about today's agenda. I received a piece of news today, saying that the company's apparel design drafts this year have been ruined by someone. However, that person did not receive any punishment. I want to ask Zhengting, what exactly is happening?"
Honestly, these shareholders did not care much about the company's matters. Moreover, the Imperial Group was such a huge corporation. To them, the income from the apparel every year was not big. Everyone simply turned a blind eye toward these company matters. Upon hearing Si Guangsong's words at that moment, everyone looked at each other and proceeded to droop their heads low.
This was clearly a fight between the immortals. It would be best for the little ghosts like them to scram as far as possible.
After Si Guangsong finished speaking, he stared at Si Zhengting unrelentingly. "Zhengting, could it be that you are purposely defending that lady because you are interested in her?"
Si Zhengting looked down nonchalantly and began to speak, "You're right. Do you have anything to say about it?"
Si Guangsong was caught off guard. He had not expected him to give him this answer. He narrowed his eyes instantly. "Of course. How can you neglect the company's interest just because you like her…"
Si Zhengting raised his head and interrupted him in an imposing manner, "Keep your comments to yourself."
Si Guangsong: "…!!!"
Si Guangsong choked, only continuing after awhile, "In any case, I'm still a board member. Shouldn't we, the board members, have the right to question things?"
Si Zhengting looked at him before speaking again after a while. "The company's design drafts issue is highly classified. The whole issue is currently confidential. Nobody except me has the right to question it!"
Never would Si Guangsong have thought that he would find such an implausible reason. Outraged, he slammed the table and stood up. "You…!"
Si Zhengting mocked, "If you are unhappy, you can suggest another round of Chairman election at the board of directors meeting." Upon saying this, he stood up. His nonchalant, deep, and oppressive gaze was fixated on Si Guangsong, making the latter realize that his nephew had grown stronger after one year of not seeing him.
Then, Si Zhengting continued, "But before the change of Chairman, I call the shots here. Dismiss."
Thereafter, he headed straight for the door with big strides. His words were simple yet domineering! It stunned all the board members.
However, after Si Zhengting walked to the conference room door and Ji Chen opened the door for him, both of them were preparing to leave when he saw Zhuang Nainai, who was out of breath, standing outside.
Si Zhengting's face immediately became stern. After shifting himself to block her, he berated softly, "Who asked you to come here?!"
