Translator: 549690339

The room of the board meeting was large, and everyone heard the mocking voice.

Other directors chuckled, the scorn evident.

Xin Zaozao bit her lip tightly.

Among the seated directors, save for Mu Cidian, all were middle-aged men over forty, each of them displaying expressions of extreme disdain, as if they were watching a joke unfold before them.

“Let’S not waste everyone’s time. Miss Xin, why don’t you go back to your heiress lifestyle? We will conduct an election for the chair of the board, and you can just wait at home to receive your dividends. Stop causing a fuss!” another director spoke up.

‘We are all busy. To hold up everyone’s time for a trivial matter like this, it’S simply ridiculous. Secretary Yan, you’ve been with the group for many years, and you should know better. I think calling this board meeting for something like this is inappropriate.”

“Definitely,” the others agreed.

“Let’s call it a day.”

“Come on, come on, the weather is nice today. I invite you all to have some afternoon tea.”

The boardroom was in chaos.

A few directors had already risen from their seats and started to leave.

In groups.

They didn’t consider her important at all.

Mu Cidian was among the crowd, casting one last indifferent look at her before departing.

Xin Zaozao bit her lip until it turned pale.

She was restraining herself, then took a deep breath and announced, “As I understand it, the chairperson who holds the most shares has the power to evaluate other board members, assessing whether they should stay in the board to participate in the group’s decision-making!”

Everyone stopped.

Then, all eyes turned on her.

Unified glances.

One of the directors laughed exaggeratedly, “Then by all means, evaluate us! Weed us all out, leaving just yourself in the board. Then, whatever you say goes! Won’t everyone be happy then!”

Others began to laugh out loud.

Xin Zaozao stared straight at them.

The other directors didn’t mind at all, “Let’s go, let’s go, what a waste of time!”

With that, they all left the room.

In such a large boardroom, only Xin Zaozao and Yan Quan remained.

Xin Zaozao gritted her teeth; restraining herself so much that her body was trembling.

Yan Quan stood next to her, comforting her, “Don’t be upset. They weren’t targeting you. It’s just that you’re indeed too young.”

“I’m good, ” Xin Zaozao lifted her head.

Yan Quan looked at her, startled.

Anyone facing this kind of situation would be upset, especially a young girl, who, in his opinion, might break into tears at this point.

But Xin Zaozao didn’t.

In fact, she even managed to smile at him. She said, “I’ve prepared for the worst, and it’s not as bad as I feared.”

Yan Quan stared at her, astonished.

“Uncle Yan,” Xin Zaozao suddenly changed her form of address, “My father’s passing was unexpected, no one saw it coming. Actually, you’re right. They’re not against me, it’s just that I’m too young and lack work experience. It’s only natural for them to be skeptical, considering their responsibility to the consortium.”

Yan Quan nodded, “It’s good that you understand.”

“I will strive hard to prove myself competent and earn trust through my accomplishments,” Xin Zaozao said confidently.

‘You can do it.” Yan Quan patted Xin Zaozao’s shoulder, “I’ve worked with your father for many years. Now that he left his shares to you, you are his heiress. According to his will, I’ll do my best to help you.”

“Thank you.” Xin Zaozao smiled gratefully.

In any case, at least, she had gained one ally.

Her purpose in attending today’s meeting was not to seek support from other board members but to assert her position.

To announce to the world that she, Xin Zaozao, was the new chairwoman of the Xin Group, one of the top three consortiums in Jin City.

Even though she was only 22 years old..
