Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 554 - 373: An Nan’s Birthday (12)

An Nan was naturally aware of the thoughts lurking in these people’s minds. She sat there with a calm expression and spoke again in a neutral tone, "Please, everyone, take a seat."

Some people possess an invisible aura of authority. With just simple words, they can make others feel immense pressure. Lin Mubai looked at his wife with a satisfied expression as she sat there calmly. He took it upon himself to sit beside her. Amid the puzzled gazes of others, he casually smiled and said, "Don’t mind me, I’m just here accompanying my wife."

His wife was, of course, An Nan. Some people recognized the identity of this man and began to whisper amongst themselves again.

"Is he really the youngest CEO of the Lin Group?"

"Uh-huh, that’s him."

"If he’s here, then the company can rest easy."

"Uh-huh, yes."

..

An Nan heard all these murmurs, yet her face remained devoid of any extra emotion.

By this time, everyone was seated, except for the empty seat where Xi Xilan had previously sat. After An Nan gave Rocky a glance, he began to speak slowly, "Allow me to introduce myself: I’m Rocky, indeed, the one previously from Wall Street. However, I was hired by Miss An years ago, and I’ll be colleagues with you all."

The commotion caused by Rocky was not over before Jiang Yu Kai created another stir: "I am Jiang Yu Kai, you all are quite familiar with me. I’ve previously been a junior to Mr. Rocky, and I was also hired by Miss An."

After the statements from these three heavyweight figures, An Nan once again scanned the expressions on everyone’s faces and instantly understood; it seemed these people had been easily convinced, and she needn’t worry anymore.

Then it was An Nan’s turn to speak again, concise and clear as always: "I won’t be coming to the company frequently. There won’t be any major changes in the company’s affairs for the time being. From today, Jiang Yu Kai will become the General Manager of the group, and Mr. Rocky will officially join Nanqi Group as the company’s Deputy CEO. Important matters will still be decided by me. Regarding the company’s biggest current development project, I announce that we’ll be cooperating with the Lin Group. The meeting is adjourned."

After saying all this, An Nan stood up and left without waiting for questions from the crowd. Before leaving, her concerned gaze purposefully scanned the man beside her, her heart at ease.

Later, she gathered the courage to proactively grab his hand. In the gaze of everyone present, she whispered, "Let’s go."

He nodded slightly, "Uh-huh, let’s go." The unspoken subtleties in his words really made it impossible to decipher his true thoughts.

As for the ignored Rocky and Jiang Yu Kai, they were left dumbfounded watching the two leave, feeling an internal frustration, yet helplessly unable to do anything about those who had already departed.

In the car downstairs of Nanqi Group, An Nan sat in the passenger seat, her expression no longer cold as it was upstairs, now tinged with a hint of coaxing: "Husband, you’re upset."

Alright, she admitted that her words just now were indeed on a whim, so she hadn’t discussed them in advance. But she had no choice but to leverage him. In her view, collaborating with Nanqi Group is a win-win for Lin Group, why be so mad?

Pouting, the more An Nan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt inside.
