âI will offer 1.5 billion to invest in the company without changing the original share distribution.â I stood up and said. My voice pierced through the room. Instantly everyone was silenced. Everyone looked at me.
I lowered my head. Hmm, since this was a board meeting, I wore a white silk shirt, with black pantaloons and a black suit. Other than my age, I felt I looked quite professional. I didnât feel much pressure from the gazes.
Wei Pengâs expression was ugly.
Nan Feng said angrily, âNanxing, canât you tell what is happening! What are you talking about? Get out!â
I couldnât care less. I said faintly. âAs an outsider, Mr. Wei can invest in the Nan Corporation. As a member of the Nan Family, why canât I? Do I not have that right? What about the other investors? What do you think? I will invest 1.5 billion without changing the share distribution. Do you prefer my offer or Mr. Weiâs offer?â
I smiled and mimicked Nan Feng as I swept everyoneâs faces. People were stunned. Different faces, same expression. I smiled. âPlease donât doubt my words. I will only give the promise that I can keep. Am I right, Master Wei Wu?â
I turned to Wei Peng.
Wei Peng smiled faintly, âMiss Nanxing is right. 1.5 billion is nothing to you. Tong Huan has left more than that for you.â
I smiled. âMaster Wei Wu, thank you for vouching for me. I will privately take out 1.5 billion to help the Nan Corporation. I will not touch the shares of the other directors, I only want my uncleâs part. I wonder if there is any objection?â
âYou want to buy my shares for a mere 1.5 billion? In your dreams!â Nan Feng shouted.
âThen how much have you sold it for to Master Wei Wu?â I asked.
Nan Feng was stumped.
Then it dawned on the other directors. âNan Feng, you have already sold us out?â
âSo you took the money for yourself and then have others to come to rob us? Nan Feng, how evil can you be?â
âThis whole incident is caused by your daughter, why should we suffer for it?â
âNo, we will not agree to Mr. Weiâs investment. Nan Feng, you owe us an explanation!â
As the riot was about to start, I knocked on the table to signal for them to be quiet. It was very effective.
Wei Peng said, âNanxing, are you serious about this? This is not a joke.â His voice was unusually gentle.
If not for my understanding of the 7 Brothers, I would think he was a kind elder offering me advice.
I smiled. âYes, Iâm serious. Master Wei Wu.â Politeness went both ways. My little uncle had taught me that.
Wei Peng smiled, but the smile didnât reach his eyes.
âNanxing, I will invest 1 billion and use the Wei Familyâs influence to wash away the bad reputation of the Nan Corporation. You might have an extra 500 million but can you save the Nan Corporationâs reputation?â
He had a point. He earned a few nods of agreement from the directors. Nan Fengâs face was ugly.
I nodded. âMaster Wei Wu is correct. But how bad is the Nan Corporationâs reputation anyway? So the Eldest Miss Nan encountered a bad person and was deceived into doing some illegal things. Miss Nan is not a part of the Nan Corporation, she has no direct relationship with this company. Plusâ¦â I glanced at Nan Feng. âAs long as eldest uncle accepts the blame and resigns as the chairman of the Nan Corporation, the bad reputation of the Nan Corporation will be wiped clean, no?â
