Ji Pengfei's expression changed when he saw the newcomer; his face darkened.
Ji Zhixia, who was behind her, was young and impetuous and not steady at all. When she saw someone she disliked, she immediately exploded and questioned him.
"Ji Zhinan, what are you doing here?!"
A while ago, Ji Zhinan disappeared from their sight for no apparent reason. Ji Zhixia thought she had done something bad outside and was being retaliated against, and she was quite proud of it for a long time.
I never expected to see that annoying face again.
Ji Zhinan leaned back in her chair, dressed in a formal women's suit. Her hair was styled in a high bun, revealing her beautiful nape and delicate collarbone. She looked every bit the domineering female CEO.
She sat in the central seat that originally belonged to Ji Pengfei, with her legs crossed in a slightly lazy manner, her knees resting on the edge of the conference table. Her elbows were on the armrests of the chair, and her head was propped up by the back of her hand, looking drowsy. When she heard Ji Zhixia's voice, she only lazily raised her eyes, truly showing her disdain for Ji Zhixia.
Ji Pengfei always valued his reputation, so the Ji family's affairs were not spread. Even the shareholders behind him did not know that Ji Pengfei had a young daughter named Ji Zhinan.
Seeing her like this, Ji Pengfei remembered what Ji Zhixia had said: the old man's will stipulated that the Ji family business should be given to her. He felt a surge of anger rising in his heart, which annoyed him greatly.
His face darkened, and he turned to his secretary, Lily, and snapped, "What's going on?!"
“Chairman Ji…” Lily’s expression changed, and she immediately called the front desk.
Having learned what had happened, she hung up the phone and cautiously reported to Ji Pengfei, "The receptionist thought Miss Ji Zhinan was summoned by you, Chairman Ji, so..."
After all, Ji Zhinan had spent a few days at the Ji Corporation before, and had become somewhat familiar with the front desk staff...
Ji Pengfei's expression immediately darkened. His unfriendly gaze fell on Ji Zhinan, showing no kindness whatsoever, not even the most basic goodwill an elder would show to a junior.
"What are you doing here?!"
Ji Zhinan slowly turned his head to look at Ji Pengfei and the people behind him, his thin lips slightly curved, his smile somewhat nonchalant.
"I received news that Chairman Ji was going to hold a shareholders' meeting, so I rushed over early this morning."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhixia sneered, "What does our Ji Group's shareholders' meeting have to do with you? Who do you think you are!"
“I should relay those words back to Miss Ji Zhixia verbatim.” Ji Zhinan raised an eyebrow: “From what I understand, Miss Ji probably doesn’t even own 1% of the shares. Since it’s a shareholders’ meeting, what are you meddling in?”
"You!" Ji Zhixia choked, Ji Zhinan's words were like a slap in the face, making her extremely embarrassed.
"So what if I don't have any shares? My dad does. My dad is the chairman of the Ji Group, and I'm his only heir. Don't I deserve to attend some stupid shareholders' meeting?!"
Ji Zhinan smiled but remained silent.
Thinking she had gained the upper hand, Ji Zhixia immediately said smugly, "What qualifications do you have to attend the shareholders' meeting?!"
"qualifications?"
Ji Zhinan pondered for a moment, seemingly considering those two words. After a pause, she took a document from her handbag on the table, tossed it onto the conference table, and pursed her lips: "This is qualification."
