Chapter 467: The Board Meeting

w.a.n.g Xiaoyun’s son had been a mystery for many people.

w.a.n.g Xiaoyun had come to Zhong Hai with only her daughter, An Ya and founded the Jin Xiu Group.

By now, the Jin Xiu Group was the top three biggest real estate firms in Zhong Hai, and w.a.n.g Xiaoyun had also made it to the top ten rich list of Zhong Hai. She was also lauded as the richest woman in Zhong Hai.

Seeing that the enormous wealth of Jin Xiu Group was safeguarded by only two women, many people had secretly vied for a piece of the pie. However, the Jin Xiu Group had stood firm and remained undefeated during many bouts of aggression. The closest the Jin Xiu Group had come to collapsing was a year ago when it was attacked by the alliance of Ji Family, Tang Family, and the Nin Family.

However, even as the managers of the Jin Xiu Group were considering abandoning s.h.i.+p, things started to turn around and they eventually defeated the Tang Family and the Nin Family.

The Tang Family Lord even arrived at w.a.n.g Xiaoyun’s office and bowed deeply to her to apologize. It had been sensational news among the business circle in Zhong Hai.

Although many had guessed who Jin Xiu Group’s benefactor was, none had suspected Chen Fan. Most people stopped guessing once they knew the Jin Xiu Group was under the protection of the Chinese Military.

“So our boss does have a son. I had always thought that she only has a daughter.”

“Humph! Our Boss’s husband’s last name is Chen. An Ya is clearly not her biological daughter.”

“So this young man is the only rightful heir of the company.”

Many people murmured to each other as they pa.s.sed through the hall.

Young Lord Feng’s perfect smile curdled on his face. He glared at Chen Fan enviously.

“Boss, a.s.sistant An, and Young Lord Chen let’s move to the office. It’s too loud out here.” Managing Director He wiped away the sweat on his forehead as he scurried toward Chen Fan. He had already forgotten about Young Lord Feng.

“Very well.”

w.a.n.g Xiaoyun turned around and ordered: “Xiao He, push everything aside for me. I don’t want to see anyone today.”

“Yes, yes, boss.”

Managing director He replied as he shot Chen Fan a surprised glance.

He had never seen w.a.n.g Xiaoyun taking a day off of work. The fact that she should put aside her busy schedule and spend a whole day with her son spoke loudly about how much she cared about her son.

“So it seems that our young lord is very close to Boss w.a.n.g’s heart… I hope he won’t take offense to my cold shoulder.”

Managing Director He thought to himself as cold sweat slid down his back.

The group entered the elevator which would take them directly to a boardroom, leaving Young Lord Feng standing alone in the foyer with a green face and a pair of eyes that were so angry that they seemed to spit fire.

Meanwhile, the managers and board of directors had been losing their patience while waiting for w.a.n.g Xiaoyun to return.

“What kind of emergency would have made our boss halt the meeting and rush down there?”

“Must be some big wig from the government visiting us. Even a.s.sistant An had gone with her.”

“Hehe, only the leader of Zhong Hai could have stirred up our boss.”

Even as everyone murmured to each other in confusion, the door swung open as w.a.n.g Xiaoyun and An Ya returned with a young boy in tow.

The young man looked barely twenty and had a clean-shaven face. The casual outfit he was wearing made him look like a b.u.mbling freshman in college. However, the smile hangs on w.a.n.g Xiaoyun and An Ya’s face seemed to suggest that they both cared about this young man greatly.

“Everyone, allow me to introduce. This is my son, Chen Fan.”

w.a.n.g Xiaoyun walked over to the head of the table and announced.

“Hi everyone, my name is Chen Fan.”

Chen Fan nodded. Then he walked over to the sofa and sat down with Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa. Meanwhile, he tugged at An Ya’s arm, willing her to sit with him. An Ya cast a glance at w.a.n.g Xiaoyun, seeking her approval. After w.a.n.g Xiaoyun had nodded back at her, she sat down beside Chen Fan.

“Humph!!”

Chen Fan’s casualness and levity came off as spoiled behavior to many members of the board.

“No wonder Boss w.a.n.g waited so long to introduce her son to us. He is foppish and vain and lacked even the most basic respect for others. ‘La-di-da, look at all the pretty girls around me.’ Humph! Does he think that he is at a KTV?”

Some senior members of the board complained in their minds.

The others also shook their heads disapprovingly.

“Boss w.a.n.g’s Husband is from the Chen family’s Jin City who recently rose to power and became the most influential clan in Jin City. So he must have been spoiled by his parents and was used to frivolous pursuits. The Jin Xiu Group will be doomed if w.a.n.g Xiaoyun hands it over to him.”

These managers and board members were elites of the financial world in Zhong Hai. They were used to having eager minds from the Ivy League at their beck and call, and to brush shoulders with successful young entrepreneurs, therefore, they had no respect for Chen Fan’s indolence.

“Very well, let’s continue. The third phase of the second ring road project has been delayed for a few months now, we need to get it back online and try to finish it before the national holiday starts.”
