Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!

Chapter 544: This smell is... sulfuric acid!

At the same time, employees watching the live stream of the meeting were in uproar.Ji Wei appeared confident and composed on screen, her unflinching demeanor leaving them utterly stunned.

Was this really the same spoiled and wilful socialite of Rongcheng?

No, the eldest daughter of the Ji Family had changed!

She had transformed into a formidable force, someone capable of turning the tides and evoking awe. While Mr. Gu was covertly lending his support, based solely on her use of a straightforward and audacious live-stream strategy, along with her sharp clarity of action to reach her goals, this woman was remarkable in her own right!

At that moment, the shareholders who had skipped the meeting were filled with regret and anxiety, scrambling to pull out their phones to call Ji Wei in hopes that they could salvage the situation.

Ring ring ring...

Following a brief silence in the meeting room, phone ringtones rang out one after another.

Even Chen Ke’s phone was buzzing relentlessly.

Ji Wei merely gave her phone screen a cursory glance, then started organizing the documents on the table. Holding them in her hand, she flashed a slight smile: "Uncles, the meeting is over. I hope you have a good day."

With that, she picked up her phone and gracefully strode out of the meeting room.

Behind her, Chen Ke and Mary followed closely out.

Later that afternoon, several shareholders rushed back to the company in a hurry, eager to meet Ji Wei and ingratiate themselves. However, they were all stopped by Mary outside the CEO’s office.

"Apologies, everyone, Mr. Ji is working and cannot be disturbed."

Seeing Mary’s cold and unyielding expression, the shareholders could only smile awkwardly, ultimately not daring to force their way in.

Inside the office.

Ji Wei accepted the cup of warm juice Chen Ke handed her, sipping a few mouthfuls.

Lowering her head, she noticed her phone screen light up.

It was a call from Gu Moqian.

Answering it, the magnetic and gentle voice of the man came through, "Mrs. Gu, how’s the takeover of the Ji Family going?"

"Reporting to Mr. Gu, the first battle is won!" Ji Wei replied with a touch of pride.

Even through the phone speaker, Gu Moqian could sense her excitement, and the corners of his lips curved into a smile. "Congratulations, I’ll come pick you up after work." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelFirｅ.net

"Great, thanks, hubby!" Ji Wei eagerly agreed.

She understood that the smoothness of her day had been largely thanks to Gu Moqian’s assistance. When she got home, she planned to properly thank her exceptionally capable husband.

Later, Chen Ke received a call from his wife, asking him to come home for their anniversary celebration.

Ji Wei, in her great mood, waved her hand magnanimously and permitted him to leave work early.

"Mary, you should go too. Mr. Gu will be here soon to pick me up," Ji Wei said with a smile as she noticed Mary still standing firmly nearby.

"Alright, Mrs. Gu, please be careful."

Mary reminded her briefly before leaving as well.

As the workday ended, employees of the Ji Family began packing up and heading out.

Ji Wei raised her eyes from her documents and surveyed the spacious office, realizing she was the only one left. She massaged her temples and started tidying her desk.

Guessing Gu Moqian would arrive soon, Ji Wei began heading downstairs.

The night wind was rather strong. Standing at the entrance of the building, she tightened her windbreaker collar and looked toward the road.

It was rush hour, and Gu Moqian might be delayed.

Ji Wei was prepared to wait, and in no time, she saw the familiar silver-gray Maybach approaching slowly.

Her face lit up with joy as she stepped off the stairs to head toward it.

All of Ji Wei’s attention was focused on Gu Moqian, completely unaware of a dark figure darting out from the shadows.

The figure held up a bottle of pale-yellow liquid and splashed it toward Ji Wei’s face!

Caught off guard, Ji Wei’s mind blanked for a second, leaving her no chance to dodge.

"Watch out!"

At the critical moment, Gu Moqian dashed over and held Ji Wei tightly to his chest.

Ssss...

Instantly, Ji Wei smelled a pungent, fabric-corroding stench.

The scent was... sulfuric acid!
