Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife Chapter 396 Wife Became a Sought-After Item (6)

The issue is that if directors are granted oversight authority, they cannot act both as referees and players.

In this regard, everyone apparently wanted to hear what Chen Jiaming had to say.

After what seed like a mont of hesitation on Chen Jiaming’s face, he said, "I personally believe that oversight is not just about being an observer. Getting involved in the ga to give directors better reference opinions could be a more reliable evaluation plan."

"So, Mr. Chen, are you planning to accept Miss Xiao’s proposal?"

"Of course," Chen Jiaming said. "If I accept the invitation and join their team, I naturally cannot serve as the overseer."

With this statent, his position was clearer than ever.

Everyone thought, in fact, that Chen Jiaming’s decision was absolutely wise. There was no reason not to take the opportunity to assist the candidate, as being the first to support them could an considerable advantage if they succeeded. Moreover, since Xiao Shulan is a woman and a woman cannot always be at the forefront, it makes more sense to elevate a man for more public engagents while she manages things behind the scenes.

After Xiao Shulan rises to power, she would likely depend entirely on Chen Jiaming, as it would be difficult for her alone to manage such a large conglorate like Changda, while Chen Jiaming is fully capable of doing so. At that point, Xiao Shulan’s position would be practically nominal, whereas Chen Jiaming could wield the real power, effectively controlling Changda.

Mr. Chen’s calculations were so exquisitely strategized; this was definitely not a spur-of-the-mont plan. As soon as Xiao Shulan spoke up for Mr. Chen, everyone knew the rumors about the close relations between Chen Jiaming and the younger mbers of the Xiao Family were not unfounded.

Interestingly, among the directors present, none seed inclined to oppose this move.

Uncle Tang, sitting behind Xiao Jianming, was astonished by the unique atmosphere of today’s most unusual eting. Usually, when so many heavyweights gather, debates and disagreents would dominate. It was rare for such calmness to prevail. Perhaps they had agreed on opinions behind the scenes, although that seed unlikely.

These people simply couldn’t band together unified because their interests were too divergent.

Just as Chen Jiaming was about to be confird as a mber of Xiao Shulan’s team, and just as Xiao Shulan was about to boastfully nominate soone, soone raised a doubt: "What if multiple candidates choose the sa person to beco their mber?"

Xiao Shulan’s heart sank, as she thought no one had noticed her ploy of seizing the first mover’s advantage.

As soon as the question was posed, everyone’s heads lifted, including the consistently silent eldest, Xiao Shui, the casual younger brother Yebai, and Xiao Shuzhu, who seed disinterested in contesting for the chairman position from overseas.

Xiao Shuzhu exclaid in surprise, "Ah! Right. No wonder my second sister was in such a hurry to speak. That’s what it was about."

The simple-minded third sister, Xiao Shuju, gave the fourth a sidelong glance: slow on the uptake.

As soon as Xiao Shuzhu spoke, it seed that the fourth sibling was indeed worried about competition.

Could it be that the candidates all have the sa preferred choice? That would indeed be very interesting.

Director Han laughed and said, "Isn’t it obvious? Who wouldn’t want a person of remarkable capability like Mr. Chen?"

Could they all be aiming to snatch Chen Jiaming?

It seed very likely.

Chen Jiaming himself couldn’t help but lower his gaze, displaying a slight air of embarrassnt.

Xiao Shulan bit her lip anxiously, sensing that the rules of the ga might be about to change. In a panic, she sought out the person who had first spoken up and disrupted her plan. On looking, he appeared to be soone she wasn’t familiar with, as she couldn’t quite place his face. After pondering for a while, she quietly asked an attendant behind her and found out that he was a director surnad Qi.
