The atmosphere quieted down. Everyone had been quite arrogant, but when Ji Zhinan became ruthless, they immediately wilted.

Selling shares and exiting ZN?

Impossible, never in this lifetime.

As Ji Zhinan said, most of ZN's shares are in her and Xing Minggao's hands, while other shareholders only have some scattered shares. Now that ZN is developing better and better, even those scattered shares will receive a considerable share of the profits each year.

They'd have to be crazy to sell their shares.

The only one who was really angry was probably Chairman Zhao.

Chairman Zhao sat down, leaning on the table, and angrily complained to Xing Minggao, "Minggao, did you see that? This girl is young but has quite the temper! How dare she talk to me like that? Who does she think she is!"

“She is the CEO of ZN Group,” Xing Minggao replied indifferently.

"..."

"Because the entire company belongs to her."

Xing Minggao glanced at everyone, his expression grave: "You've probably forgotten that when Changhua was on the verge of collapse, it was Zhinan who turned the tide. The fact that we're all sitting here today is all thanks to her."

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

“You think she’s young and inexperienced and can’t manage the company well. But she’s the one who earned the company’s current glory. We’re the least qualified to say she’s useless.”

Xing Minggao also felt that these shareholders had gone too far, and that they were ultimately just blindly self-righteous.

Thinking that he is old, a shareholder of the company, and has a resume, he completely ignored all of Ji Zhinan's achievements and contributions just because he thought Ji Zhinan was young. He was simply taking advantage of his age.

Xing Minggao stood up and looked around, revealing a serious and earnest expression for the first time.

"Everyone here has worked hard with me, Xing Minggao, for many years, from the original Changhua to the current ZN. Now I am just a vice chairman, and I don't have much power. If anyone feels ashamed to follow Nannan, you are welcome to leave ZN. I, Xing Minggao, am willing to buy your shares at a high price."

"..."

The shareholders present all changed their expressions.

There are countless people out there racking their brains to buy ZN shares right now. Wouldn't it be foolish for them to back out now?

Seeing that no one said a word, Xing Minggao didn't say anything more, packed up his things and left the meeting room, leaving the shareholders staring at each other, feeling awkward.

………

After leaving the conference room, Xing Minggao went upstairs.

Pushing open the office door, Ji Zhinan sat there, one hand supporting her forehead, her black hair obscuring her eyebrows and eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.

"Nan Nan!" Xing Ming called out.

Hearing the voice, Ji Zhinan looked up and saw that it was Xing Minggao. She smiled and said, "Uncle Xing."

Seeing her pale face, Xing Minggao immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Ji Zhinan shook his head, closed his eyes, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Xing Minggao noticed something was wrong with her in the meeting room. This girl was usually very composed, and this was the first time he had seen her so often lost in thought during a meeting.

Seeing her haggard appearance, it would be a lie to say Xing Minggao wasn't heartbroken.

"They're getting old, and they're afraid of offending people. Nan Nan, do whatever you want, don't worry about them."

The entire company belongs to Ji Zhinan, so even if she bankrupts it, they have no right to say anything.

Ji Zhinan opened his eyes: "Uncle Xing..."

Xing Minggao smiled and said, "You've always been a sensible person, Uncle Xing trusts you."

Ji Zhinan originally wanted to explain a few more words, but seeing that Xing Minggao believed him unconditionally, he swallowed back the words that were stuck in his throat.
