Chapter 519 He is my husband
"Remember, he is Chi Wenyan, the president of Chi Group, and my husband. If he makes any mistake, your entire nursing team will have to bear the consequences!" Ji Wan's words were cold, and every word was like an ice-hardened steel needle, piercing people painfully.
The guard's heart trembled, and he nodded again: "Please rest assured, Madam Chi!"
Ji Wan said no more, turned around, and strode away. Her high heels tapped against the polished floor, making a crisp "ta-da-da" sound, and each step was filled with unquestionable determination.
As they sped along, the coldness in Ji Wan's eyes was enough to freeze the entire summer.
The Chi Group's headquarters building was like the center of a massive vortex, everyone was in a state of panic, and the air was filled with anxiety and restlessness. When Ji Wan, dressed in a black business suit and with a sullen expression, pushed open the door to the top-floor conference room, the whispers in the room suddenly stopped.
Dozens of eyes were directed at her at the same time, some with surprise, some with scrutiny, some with disdain, and some with a bit of gloating glee.
The main seat was vacant, with the company's directors and executives sitting on both sides.
"Director Ji, you've come at the right time," said Vice President Wang, a gray-haired man who enjoys great prestige in the group, with a forced smile. "Mr. Chi, the company is in such a situation now. The stock price has plummeted, and partners have terminated their contracts one after another. You see... we have to have a set of rules for this mess, right?" His voice was not loud, but it was full of obvious pressure and temptation.
Ji Wan walked to the main seat, but did not sit down. Instead, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked the cold chair back.
Her eyes slowly swept across the room. Her voice was not loud, but each word was clear and carried an unquestionable authority: "Vice President Wang, President Chi is just taking a break. The company is not leaderless. I am still here."
"You're still here?" The younger Director Zhang scoffed, his contempt barely concealed. "Director Ji, with all due respect, you may be a master in the design department, but running the entire Chi Group involves finance, investment, marketing, personnel... It's more than just drawing a few blueprints! Without President Chi here, what right do you have to sit here and give orders?"
"Because I'm Chi Wenyan's legal wife! Because I hold 20% of the Chi Group's shares! And because..."
Ji Wan's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly raised his voice. "The Chi Group was built by Wen Yan and I! Some of you didn't even know where you were when the Chi Group was first established!"
Her gaze swept across the crowd like a sharp sword: "I know what you're thinking. The Chi family is now a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite. Or, some people are thinking of seeking better opportunities, or even taking advantage of the situation, so that they can seek credit in front of the new master!"
"Ji Wan! Stop slandering me!" Vice President Wang was caught on camera, and angrily slammed the table. "We're all veterans of the company, dedicated to the company! You're a woman, what do you know about business operations? Don't let your impulsive behavior completely bring down the Chi Group!"
"That's right! Mr. Chi's life or death is uncertain now, and the company cannot be without a backbone!"
"We suggest that we immediately elect an acting president to take charge of the situation!"
For a moment, the conference room was filled with a flurry of discussion and excitement, with everyone pointing their fingers at Ji Wan.
Ji Wan sneered, but the smile did not reach his eyes, instead causing the temperature in the meeting room to drop sharply.
"Veteran? For the sake of the company?" She slammed the table with a loud "bang" that made everyone's heart jump.
"I'm telling you! As long as I, Ji Wan, am still standing here, the Chi Corporation will not collapse!" Her voice suddenly rose, carrying a ruthless determination to destroy everything together. "Vice President Wang, you're in charge of the overseas market. Last quarter's performance dropped 30%. What you call caring for the company is watching it rot?"
Vice President Wang's face turned pale and he opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Ji Wan turned to Director Zhang again and said, "Director Zhang, the investment department you're in charge of, that new energy project you strongly advocated for six months ago, how much has it lost now? Do I need to read it out in public? Is this your business acumen?"
Director Zhang's face flushed and his eyes avoided.
"And you!" Ji Wan's eyes were sharp as knives, sweeping over the directors and executives with different expressions one by one. "Chi Wenyan worked so hard to make the Chi Group what it is today. You've enjoyed the prosperity and wealth that the Chi Group has brought you. Now that he's in trouble, you want to break up and set up your own faction? Dream on!"
"Now, listen up!" Ji Wan took a deep breath, each word carrying tremendous force. "First, from this moment on, I will temporarily assume the position of President of the Chi Group, taking full responsibility for all company affairs! Anyone with any objections may submit their resignation now, and I will approve it immediately!"
The meeting room was completely silent, and no one dared to respond.
"Second, Public Relations Department, immediately organize a press conference to announce that President Chi's condition is stable and he is actively recovering. At the same time, at all costs, suppress all negative news and stabilize market sentiment!"
"Third, Legal Department, compile a list of all partners who have unilaterally requested contract terminations, prepare a lawyer's letter, and hold them accountable for breach of contract!"
"Fourth, all department heads, manage your people well and keep the projects at hand stable. Anyone who dares to disobey orders or collude with outsiders at this time, don't blame me, Ji Wan, for being ruthless and settling all old and new scores!"
The words were so powerful and full of determination that the entire conference room fell silent.
Those who were originally ready to make a move and had their own ulterior motives were now shocked by the powerful aura she exuded.
They had never seen Ji Wan like this before. The usually gentle design director was now like an enraged lioness, guarding her territory with her sharpest claws and fangs, refusing to allow anyone to covet it.
"Wen Yan has fallen, but I, Ji Wan, am still here!" Ji Wan looked around at everyone, his eyes cold and determined. "Whoever dares to touch the Chi family will be bankrupted and his reputation ruined! Understood? Everyone should do their job. This meeting is adjourned!"
The night was as dark as ink. In front of the neon-lit "Golden and Splendid" club, a black car sped up, its tires making a harsh sound as they rubbed against the ground.
The car door opened and Ji Wan, dressed in a black business suit, walked down with a frosty expression.
The high heels made a crisp "thump thump" sound when they stepped on the ground, and every step brought with it an unquestionable sense of oppression.
"Mr. Ji, Liu Mingde is in the Imperial Hall on the third floor." The secretary trotted after him, his voice a little tense.
Ji Wan said nothing as she walked straight into the magnificent entrance. The lavish decor and the air thick with the scent of alcohol and perfume made her frown slightly. She had always hated places like this.
Outside the Imperial Hall, two men who looked like bodyguards reached out to stop them.
"Get out of the way." Ji Wan's voice was not loud, but it carried a chill that penetrated the bone marrow.
The bodyguards exchanged glances and were frightened by the fierceness in her eyes, and involuntarily made way for her.
