Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 960 - 979: Rocky’s Return

Rocky’s gaze first swept over the two of them, then he slowly began to speak: "I just got off the plane and came straight here. Are you all okay?"

"We’re fine. Why did you come over as soon as you got off the plane? Is there something going on?" An Nan asked him.

Rocky immediately stopped smiling and became extremely serious. Seeing this sudden change in him, Lin Mubai understood at once that he had something important to discuss today, so he immediately suggested, "Let’s go to my study to talk first!"

No one objected this time, and the three of them went together to Lin Mubai’s study.

An Nan had just sat down in the special hanging chair prepared for her, and she couldn’t help but anxiously ask, "What exactly is going on?"

Rocky frowned, glanced at Lin Mubai beside him, and then, with Lin Mubai’s nod of approval, he spoke deliberately: "Xi Xilan has started her tactics."

"Started?" A hint of coldness flashed at the corner of An Nan’s mouth: "What did she do?" That this man personally flew back from the United States indicates that Xi Xilan’s methods are quite sophisticated this time.

Her suspicions were soon confirmed: "Xi Xilan secretly contacted several of the company’s suppliers, cutting off the supply of goods to the company’s supermarkets. Adding that it’s the end of the year, I reckon it will soon become chaotic."

"What measures do you think we should take?" An Nan still maintained a calm expression upon hearing this.

It seemed as though all of this was trivial to her. That’s what Rocky admired about her. Over the years, no matter what difficult situation she faced, she always appeared calm, as if her emotions were never turbulent. Of course, it’s impossible for anyone’s emotions to always be calm and unruffled, so it just goes to show that this woman’s resilience is incredibly strong, stronger than many men. That’s something to admire and respect.

Rocky then thought for a moment and shared his thoughts: "Those suppliers have goods they certainly need to sell. Things have an expiration date, and they can’t afford to bear the losses themselves. But they have an agreement with Xi Xilan, so they won’t easily resume our supply. They’ll definitely want to negotiate terms, and the cost of these terms is money. Right at the end of the year, if we don’t want to damage our reputation with clients, these goods are indispensable. The suppliers are sure to take advantage of the situation to raise prices. In the end, when we have no options left, we may still have to pay up. But because you are the president of the group, Xi Xilan will certainly continue to unite with the company shareholders, claiming that your role as executive chairman is problematic. At that time, if you don’t want to be removed from the position of chairman of the group, you’ll inevitably need to use your money to cover the losses. If you have sufficient funds available, it’s doable; if not, the only thing you can leverage is the company’s shares, and I think that’s what Xi Xilan is after."

An Nan remained calm after listening, and even when the two men were looking at her in confusion, she innocently shrugged: "Anyway, things have come to this point. What else can we do? Just go along with Xi Xilan’s plan! Besides, in a few months, I’m going to have a child. I can’t manage so many company affairs, so isn’t it better to let Xi Xilan temporarily act as group chairman for a while?"
