Chapter 965 - 984: An Nan Surrounded (Part 1)
When the two arrived outside the Lin Family Mansion, Jiang Yu Kai’s car was already waiting there. As he saw the two exit, he quickly got out from the car to greet them and teased Lin Mubai, "What? With such a short distance, Young Master Lin is still worried? Are you afraid your wife will get lost?"
Being teased, Lin Mubai didn’t get angry. He continued to calmly remind his wife, "When the meeting starts, try to maintain a calm demeanor and don’t get too upset, okay?"
An Nan continued nodding with a smile, "Okay, I know."
The undeniable closeness between the two immediately agitated the single man Jiang Yu Kai beside them, causing him to grumble discontentedly, "If I had known, I wouldn’t have come. Putting myself through all this trouble so early in the morning to pick you up, only to be subject to this kind of torment? You can’t discriminate against single people."
Lin Mubai and his wife quickly exchanged a glance filled with mirth in each other’s eyes.
An Nan then got into the car, extended her head out of the rolled-down window, and urged the still-discontented Jiang Yu Kai standing there, "Aren’t we leaving? If we’re late, those old folks will start talking again."
Jiang Yu Kai started to complain again as he walked towards the car, "Am I your driver? Telling me to leave, I have to leave; saying not to leave, I can’t leave."
Even though he was complaining, he still started the car.
Upon seeing this, An Nan made an inconspicuous "OK" gesture towards the man still outside the car window, and then the car slowly drove away.
Not until the car was out of sight did he turn back into the house, yet throughout the whole morning, he felt uneasy. Though he knew An Nan couldn’t possibly suffer a loss in anything, he just couldn’t stop worrying.
Meanwhile, the same morning in the conference room at the Nanqi Group, a tense atmosphere persisted. An Nan felt that these people were just so noisy, and after all this time, hadn’t even addressed a key point, truly making her frustrated.
Her expression grew increasingly unpleasant.
However, this demeanor, in the eyes of the An Family’s mother and daughter, turned into barely concealed gloating.
Seeing that the time and opportunity were ripe, Xi Xilan finally spoke up, "Distinguished directors, as the general manager of the group, I have some remarks to make."
"Please, Manager Xi, go ahead."
Lately, because An Nan had been away from the company for a long time, and Vice President Rocky was also on vacation, those opportunistic employees and directors nearly all flocked to Xi Xilan, even An Yuya’s status in the company had been rising nonstop, practically showing the posture of the group’s next successor. Although some were dissatisfied with her, they only dared to gossip behind her back, and still needed to flatter her face-to-face. Even for today’s group shareholders meeting, technically, a deputy general manager of the HR department like her shouldn’t participate, yet she sat there, which clearly showed her status in the group.
An Nan saw all of this silently, saying nothing, yet her expression gave people the impression of her being quite timid.
Xi Xilan glanced gleefully at An Nan’s face, then continued to speak, "I haven’t been back at the company for long, so I’m not familiar with the supplier issues, but since Miss Lin is the largest shareholder and chairperson of the group, I believe you owe all the shareholders an explanation."
