Jiang Group
Inside the conference room, the atmosphere was tense. Since everyone’s mobile phones had been turned off before they entered the room, they were unaware of the outside world’s happenings.
Jiang Yanting had stubbornly tied himself to Shen Zhixian, and the scandal involving a certain illegitimate daughter had already sullied her reputation.
They did not know how to wash away such a stain.
The attendees were divided into three camps, each acting on their own. There was also a group that didn’t take sides, solely considering the company’s interests. It was these people whom Jiang Zhaolin needed to win over.
With Jiang Yanting occupying a key position in the company now vacant, people’s loyalties wavered—this was not a decision to be taken lightly.
"If the position becos vacant, is there anyone who can fill it?" a director asked. This was what truly concerned the neutral parties, as it seed there was no suitable candidate within the company at present.
Although everyone was aware of the ongoing internal strife within the Jiang family, such conflicts weren’t necessarily bad for the company.
Since no one wanted to be left behind, they naturally worked harder, generating significant revenue for the company. If the balance tipped and one person ca to dominate, that would be undesirable.
Over the years, even though Jiang Zhenhuan held the title of chairman, he had delegated his authority. His confidants were mostly entrusted to Jiang Yanting as he focused on grooming his son.
He was nad the leader of the company but had phased out of managent years ago, nearly holding a nominal position only.
This led to Jiang Zhaolin cultivating his influence over recent years, becoming increasingly domineering.
And now, as everyone discussed the matter of Jiang Yanting, Zhaolin remained unfazed, his face tranquil, utterly inscrutable.
"I think the Third Young Master can take over. The Jiang family isn’t just Jiang Yanting."
"The position of General Manager isn’t sothing anyone can just sit in if they want to. Even company veterans wouldn’t dare so brazenly claim they’re up to the task."
"Why don’t you nominate soone?"
"This isn’t about ousting the Second Master. We’re not so desperate to find a replacent just because he is taking a couple of days off."
"Everyone is aware of how much the company’s stock has been affected. Given his current state, so entangled with personal emotions, he truly isn’t fit for work."
...
The two sides argued, once again plunging into an intense state of deadlock.
"Let’s just vote on it," Jiang Zhaolin said with a frown. He had thought it would be a simple and straightforward matter. After spending more than an hour without a result, he couldn’t help but feel anxious.
At that mont, a commotion erupted outside, and suddenly, the conference room door burst open with a loud "bang."
"What’s going on?" Jiang Zhaolin frowned. It was against the rules for anyone to enter during a eting with all devices off.
"President Jiang, I’m sorry, it’s..." The assistant looked apologetic.
As he stepped aside, the people inside caught sight of the person at the door and collectively froze.
Dressed in white shirt and black pants, with a black windbreaker, the naturally lean and pale figure seed even more like leaves in a desolate autumn breeze. His eyes conveyed a desolate chill, perhaps enhanced by the warmth of the room that added a hint of color to his lips...
Red as if bewitched.
With a slight smirk, his beauty was unparalleled.
Jiang Jinsang was in poor health, appearing too thin, almost breakable in the breeze, yet he exuded an invisible, formidable threat.
"The Fifth Master?" The people in the conference room looked at each other in surprise.
He had never set foot in the company before. With the Second Master not present, why had he co?
There were many rumors about him, especially concerning the discord between the brothers. It was even said that he was made this way because of Jiang Yanting’s actions. So why had he co? What was he intending to do?
"Sorry for being late. The eting’s not over, is it?" His voice was crisp and dignified, echoing in the conference room, each word landing heavily on people’s hearts.
They say the Fifth Master of the Jiang family was capricious due to his long sickness. Having co all the way from the hospital, a change in the winds was likely imminent.
"Why aren’t you lying in the hospital? What brings you here?" Jiang Zhenhuan asked, his expression stern.
"Big brother went to see the Shis and asked to co over to keep an eye on things..." There was only one empty seat in the conference room, on the right-hand side of Jiang Zhenhuan. Without any hesitation, he took the seat, "I heard so folks were eager to seize the chance to oust him from his position. I’ve never been inside the company and never witnessed such a spectacle, so I thought I’d join in the fun."
"This is preposterous!" Jiang Zhenhuan frowned. "This is a company! It’s not a place for you to enjoy yourself."
"If my Third Cousin can co, why can’t I?" Jiang Jinsang raised his eyebrows, looking towards Jiang Shiyi seated diagonally across from him. Shiyi had co at the behest of Jiang Zhaolin, but had yet to utter a single word.
anwhile, Jiang Jiu offered him a blanket, and Jiang Cuo brought him tea. He unfolded the thin blanket with grace and laid it over his knees. The way he carried himself...
It seed less like he was there for a eting and more like he was there for a vacation.
