Chapter 260 - CEO Of Xu Corporation

-Board Room, Xu Corporation-

The meeting room was engrossed in an intense discussion. The company was under a lot of pressure and at this delicate time, a new CEO was appointed.

The moment Xu Mey entered the board room, the discussion seized and everyone’s gaze stuck at Xu Mey’s solemn face. In her office attire, she gave the vibes of an experienced and intimidating ruler. The charming girl that they had seen on Xu Liqing’s wedding was nowhere to be seen.

Xu Mey took the main seat and looked at the members of the board trying to size them up.

"I believe all of you have already heard about me. So, I won’t introduce myself again." She took a brief pause before speaking again, "A lot of you here might not be comfortable with seeing me here. But you can’t help it since I’m already here."

Her words were rather arrogant but the board members knew that she wasn’t lying. None of them had the right to question her position.

"Ms. Xu," a board member interrupted her speech. "We have the right to question your position." Xu Mey supported her face on her hand with an amusing look. "None of us know you and whatever we know is nothing worth mentioning. The name Xu Mey is quite notorious in the elite circle. We don’t think that you’re fit to be the leader of this corporation."

Xu Mey reclined back in her chair languidly and waved her fingers. Qin Hao bowed his head understanding her meaning and operated the big screen in the room. Qin Hao typed Mr. Hou’s name in the search engine and Xu Mey spoke, "You should worry about your own position rather than mine, Mr. Hou."

Hearing her words, everyone tilted their faces to look at the huge screen. On the screen, every headline was about how Mr. Hou was involved in selling corporation secrets along with embezzlement. Mr. Hou’s face paled at this and his phone started ringing.

"Pick up the phone Mr. Hou, there is a lot more to come for you." He looked at Xu Mey with a horrified expression. Mr. Hou attended the call with trembling hands and ran out of the meeting room.

"Does anyone else wants to question my abilities?" Xu Mey gave a pointed look to all of them. But no-one had the courage to speak anymore. They could see that the new CEO was not someone to be messed with. Seeing that no-one intended to talk, she said, "That’s what I thought."

"Was it necessary?" Her grandfather asked after the meeting ended.

"Grandfather, it was extremely necessary. They needed to know that I’m not like Fu Lan who would let them do whatever they desired. This is my Xu family’s legacy, how can I let them ruin it?" Grandfather Xu was pleased to hear her answer.

"Do whatever you want. This is your responsibility. I’m going to retire now." Grandfather Xu told her while stroking her head lovingly.

She smiled up at him and said, "Grandfather should be at ease. I’ll take care of everything." She poured some tea for him and took a seat beside him. after a moment of silence, Xu Mey thought of something, "Grandfather, did you know about dad’s anxiety disorder?"

Grandfather Xu looked at her for a long while before sighing. "Yes... I knew about it."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Does he get these attacks very often?" Xu Mey inquired again.

"No... He usually doesn’t get anxiety unless he’s worried about you or..." Grandfather Xu stopped talking abruptly.

"Or? What else?" Xu Mey tried to probe since she knew that she wasn’t the reason for this attack. She was smiling and chatting with Xu Cheng, how could that bring anxiety? Then what was the other reason?

Grandfather Xu rubbed his forehead tiredly and said, "I think you should ask this question to your father. I have a feeling that he doesn’t want you to know about the other reason."

Xu Mey was silently pondering his words when her cell phone rang. She picked up the call and heard an anxious voice, "Ms. Xu Mey?"

"Yes... Who is it?" Xu Mey asked with a frown.

"Ms. Xu, I’m Mr. Wu’s secretary. Can you please come to Nightingale Bar?" Why was Wang Ge’s secretary calling her?

"Why? What’s wrong?"

"Sir’s been drinking for hours and no matter what I say, he’s not listening to me. Please, you have to come!" She hung up the call and Xu Mey stood up in a hurry.

"Grandfather, I’ll see you later," Xu Mey tossed the words over her shoulder and ran out.

Although she was aware of Wu Wang’s drinking habits, he still drank reasonably. She immediately drove towards the bar and ran inside.

In the private room, Xu Mey was stunned to look at Wu Wang’s condition. His face had turned pale. "Wang Ge?" She called out but Wu Wang was in a state of confusion with no awareness of his surroundings. His breathing was irregular and the body temperature had dropped. "Call the ambulance!" Xu Mey shouted looking at his state.

She kept rubbing his hands to provide some warmth but to no avail. When the ambulance came, Wu Wang had already lost his consciousness. Xu Mey had lost her composure looking at his state.
