In the fear that it would cause a misunderstanding, Xia Zhiwan hurriedly broke free from him. She then coughed lightly and rushed toward the meeting room.

Seeing her careless appearance, the board of directors’ impression of this disreputable young girl, who was serving as the general manager, became worse.

Xia Zhiya, who had been waiting for a long time, took the chance to shout at her. “Looks like the general manager is such a big deal! You’ve made so many board members and shareholders wait for you! Don’t you feel ashamed?!”

She observed Xia Zhiwan and caught a hickey on her neck. She also realized Xia Zhiwan’s tired look and sneered secretly.

It seemed like her sister had been tortured roughly in bed last night.

Soon, a silver-haired man with a strong aura appeared at the door casually. Everyone, who was previously sitting down, immediately stood up to greet him. This included the president, Xia Dengfeng.

“Good day, chairman!”

Xia Zhiya was stunned, and she swallowed back the words she wanted to say to scold Xia Zhiwan.

Not only was she stunned because of his delicate, handsome look but also because of his high position.

Xia Zhiwan glanced at the man behind her and was surprised to see that even the high-level board members were afraid of Issac. It was a waste for Xia Zhiya to not continue her act.

The thought about her miserable situation Xia Zhiya put her through the night before enraged Xia Zhiwan.

“Xia Zhiya, doesn’t your demeanor make you seem more like a chairman instead of a deputy manager? No matter my age or position, I’m still on a higher level than you. However, you’re treating this as your turf and scolding me in front of these elders and shareholders. Isn’t it you who’s acting like a big deal here?”

Issac smiled and cooperated with Xia Zhiwan. He took several steps with his long legs and sat on the main seat while looking at Xia Zhiya coldly.

“Like what the general manager said1, there are many board members and shareholders here, since when is it your turn to criticize?”

“She came with me, so do you have any comments about that?”

“I arrived here later than her, making me the last one to arrive, so it looks like I should be criticized by the deputy manager as well.”

The chairman rarely spoke that much at once. Xia Zhiya’s expression became worse with every sentence he said.
