at this time.
A large number of people had already gathered in the hall.
Those who came were all well-known big names in the skincare industry.
When they saw Jiang Ning coming over, everyone cast curious glances at her. But when their eyes fell on the nameplate on Jiang Ning's chest, their curiosity instantly turned into disdain, and then a murmur of discussion arose.
"Look, Shi Sheng from the Shi Group is here!"
"My God, how dare she attend a skincare product conference? Doesn't she know that the Shi Group is about to collapse?"
"If I were her, I would already be planning how to abscond abroad with the money."
"Do you think she doesn't want to escape? But can she still escape now? There are countless people at the top watching the Shi Group right now! Forget about escaping abroad, she probably can't even go to the next city now."
"That's right, she's a key person under close surveillance now!"
The hall was packed with people.
No matter where you stand, you can hear this piercing sound.
Even Secretary Ram's expression turned grim.
But Jiang Ning's expression didn't change at all. Instead, she took a dessert from the tea and snack station and started eating it.
At that very moment.
The people who had been gathered in front of them all started to move and make way for each other.
Then came gasps of amazement and compliments.
"It's Ms. Mina, the head of LM's Asia region."
"Ms. Mina has such a powerful presence!"
All I saw was --
A tall figure walked in from the doorway.
He was followed by eight bodyguards.
What a grand affair!
Mina, who was walking in front, was at most in her early thirties, with bright red lips and long curly hair, a typical mature and sophisticated look.
Mina glanced at the crowd and then asked, "Excuse me, is that Mr. Xiao, the CEO of the Shi Group?"
These words were spoken.
Everyone wore expressions of anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.
Tsk tsk tsk, it seems Mina is going to openly humiliate Jiang Ning!
After all, Jiang Ning had previously boasted that he would surpass LM Group and become the undisputed number one.
"I'm dying of laughter. The person in question directly confronted me. If I were Shi Sheng, I would want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into."
"Who says otherwise! Hahaha!"
"Do you think Shi Sheng dares to step forward?"
"Nonsense, of course I wouldn't dare! This is Mina, the head of LM's Asia region."
The next second, a pleasant voice rang out in the air.
"I am Shi Sheng."
Jiang Ning spoke calmly, raising his eyes to meet Mina's gaze. Facing a strong woman like Mina, his handsome face remained completely expressionless.
Mina narrowed her eyes. "So you're the CEO Xiao who's going to surpass our LM Group and become number one by a wide margin. You're quite the young talent!"
She deliberately emphasized the phrase "young and promising".
Jiang Ning naturally understood Mina's sarcasm, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she accepted it all and said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment."
Mina continued with a laugh: "Then I wish Mr. Xiao a speedy resolution to the Jade Skin Cream controversy, and that he will strive to surpass our LM Group within a century and become the undisputed number one."
“However,” Mina paused, then walked to the head of the conference hall and sat down, “before your Shi Group surpassed LM, our LM Group was still No. 1, and I am the president of this skincare conference.”
At this point, Mina looked at the staff member beside her, "Remove the Shi Group's booth. Mr. Xiao will have to attend this conference standing up!"
Upon hearing this, laughter erupted from all around.
"Shi Sheng must be the first person to stand up while attending a skincare product conference, right?"
"Well done, Miss Mina! We should show no mercy to an arrogant person like Shi Sheng."
As the staff removed the space reserved for the Shi Group, Jiang Ning remained completely calm. She simply looked at Mina and then asked, "So, the location for the skincare products conference is decided by the president of each session?"
“That’s right,” Mina said.
Jiang Ning then asked, "Does the position of chairman depend on the group's status in the skincare industry? Does being number one automatically make one the chairman?"
Mina nodded and said sarcastically, "Xiao Shi is indeed a smart person. She understands things very quickly and has figured out the rules of the skincare industry so fast."
Jiang Ning nodded, without a trace of fear in her eyes. "That's interesting. Then please be prepared, Miss Mina. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be the one without a seat at the next skincare product conference."
Upon hearing this, Mina burst out laughing.
Are you going to leave her no place to sit?
Jiang Ning is far too arrogant and ignorant.
The others also burst out laughing.
A sarcastic laugh!
They made no attempt to hide it.
Mina looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Young Master, a smart person should learn to humble themselves at this time. Considering your young age, I am willing to give you a chance. As long as you apologize to me, I will have someone bring the seat back."
"No need." Jiang Ning walked to the area designated for the Shi Group. "What's wrong with me standing here just this once?"
"Very well, Mr. Xiao, you certainly have backbone! Since you've chosen to stand for the conference, then please be prepared to stand for every conference you attend from now on." Mina laughed again, "I almost forgot, Mr. Xiao, it's still uncertain whether you'll be able to attend next time!"
This remark was met with another burst of laughter in the conference room.
Anyone else would probably be too humiliated to stand, but Jiang Ning didn't even bend over. She stood there and participated in the skincare product conference very seriously.
The conference is not over yet.
The news that Jiang Ning was attending the meeting standing up reached Shi Nanxing's ears.
Shi Nanxing was heartbroken and went straight to the entrance of the conference to wait for Jiang Ning.
As soon as Jiang Ning came out, Shi Nanxing went up to her, her eyes slightly red, "Shengbao, you've been wronged."
His daughter should be the center of attention.
Instead of standing there and taking it all in.
Thinking about how her daughter had stood in the conference hall for an hour, Shi Nanxing felt extremely uncomfortable. She continued, "You're such an honest child. Since Mina was determined to humiliate you, why didn't you just come out?"
“I’m not aggrieved,” Jiang Ning shook her head slightly and said with a smile, “Dad, the strong prey on the weak, that’s the rule of survival.”
Jiang Ning's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it carried weight.
Shi Nanxing looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with shock that lingered for a long time.
--
In the blink of an eye.
Five days have passed.
For the past five days, Zhang Liyan has been going home every night, watching helplessly as Jin Yiyan's eyes worsen day by day.
7:30 in the morning.
The first thing Jin Yiyan does when she gets up is to look in the mirror.
Just as Jiang Ning had said, the swelling disappeared, and a thick scab formed on her scar.
Jin Yiyan reached out and carefully peeled off the scab, her heart pounding.
soon.
The new skin was exposed to the air, and the previously severe hypertrophic scars had disappeared, as if she had never had double eyelid surgery, looking completely natural.
Jin Yiyan exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god! Oh my god!"
She never dreamed that one day she could have the double eyelids her mother was born with.
I have to say, Jiang Ning is absolutely amazing!
Zhang Liyan woke up immediately and asked excitedly, "Yiyan, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with your eyes?"
