The man took two steps back with a pale face, at a loss. He looked at the assistant's expression and understood immediately. Then he thought about his own behavior and bowed repeatedly.
"I'm...I'm sorry. I'll leave now. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
After saying that, he even trotted to the entrance to change his shoes.
"Zhu Lingling!" The woman looked at the assistant and called her name.
The light brown eyes looked at her quietly, causing Zhu Lingling to shrink her shoulders in fear: "Miss, there won't be a next time!"
The woman was about to speak when her cell phone rang!
With a cold snort, she said goodbye to Zhu Lingling and walked aside to answer the phone.
"Lan Xi, I'm warning you, today is your first time attending the board meeting. If you dare to be late, you're done!"
The call was from Lan Xi's mother. Seeing that it was 9:50 and no one had shown up yet, she had a bad feeling.
Looking at the river view outside the living room's floor-to-ceiling window, Lan Xi felt annoyed: "I know!"
The person on the other end said a few more words and then hung up the phone.
"Aren't you leaving yet? You're wasting time all day long!" Turning around and seeing Zhu Lingling standing there without moving, Lan Xi urged her in a bad mood.
The Lan family moved from the capital to Hai City more than 20 years ago. Its rise was astonishingly rapid. In just two years, it became the number one family in Hai City together with the Shi family.
Today is Lan Xi's first day on the Lan Group's board of directors, but it's already past five in the morning and the protagonist hasn't arrived yet!
Lan Xi's mother, Li Yulan, looked at her watch and her face gradually turned pale.
Chairman Lan Ting'an, who was sitting in a high position, looked more and more relaxed. He looked at Li Yulan, who was fidgeting, and said in a feigned anger:
"It's already been five minutes, and she has the nerve to ask so many elders to wait for her!"
All the people sitting in the conference room were shareholders of the Lan Group, and some were even good friends of the old man and elders of Lan Ting'an.
As soon as this was said, everyone started to discuss...
Li Yulan knew she was in the wrong, and her hands on her legs tightly grasped the phone: Lan Xi!
"How about this! Let's end today's meeting here! Thank you all for coming here from so far away!" Lan Ting'an stood up and said politely to the shareholders.
"Dad, you are too anxious!" The door of the conference room was pushed open, and Lan Xi appeared at the door. She stood there with a smile, but her voice echoed in the conference room.
“Da da da…”
The sound of high heels stepping on the ground seemed to be stepping on Lan Tingan's heart, making him feel uneasy.
His daughter became a mysterious person after returning from studying abroad.
"Look at what time it is? You are late for the meeting. How dare you!" Lan Ting'an calmed himself down and gave him a lecture.
Lan Xi ignored him and walked straight to the other side of the conference table, opposite Lan Ting'an, and sat down in front of the chair that Zhu Lingling had pushed over.
"I'm talking to you!" Seeing that Lan Xi ignored him, Lan Tingan became angry and his voice became louder and louder.
"Shh!" Lan Xi raised her index finger to her mouth and made a soft hiss. Then she waved her finger at Lan Ting'an, signaling him to sit down.
Li Yulan, who was standing nearby, had been staring at Lan Xi since she came in. Her palms began to sweat, and she gripped her phone even tighter: "Lan Xi! You have to do your best!"
Looking at Lan Xi like this, Lan Ting'an was stunned. She...she was...commanding him?
Thinking of this, he became even angrier. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lan Xi tapping his hands on the table twice.
Zhu Lingling behind him immediately stepped forward, opened the folder in her hand, and distributed a copy of the document to everyone present.
Lan Ting'an didn't know what Lan Xi was up to. He wanted to question her, but she took the lead.
"This is the old man's share transfer certificate. Now I am the largest shareholder of Lan Group!" Lan Xi's words were simple and clear.
However, it made everyone's heart tremble, and they all began to study the share transfer documents in their hands.
Li Yulan looked at Lan Xi in disbelief. The ecstasy in her heart made her hands tremble as she held the transfer documents.
"Impossible! This is impossible! How can you, a girl, own shares in Lan's?" Lan Ting'an slammed the table and roared angrily. He didn't even look at the transfer document.
He left his seat and strode towards Lan Xi:
"You just returned to China and you're already thinking about joining the board of directors. That's already unacceptable, but now you're bragging about being the largest shareholder? That's hilarious! A girl wanting to take over the company? You'd better just go downstairs and work at the bottom level!"
In extreme rage, he even reached out to pull Lan Xi up.
"Lanting'an, what are you doing?" Li Yulan reacted, stood up and shouted to stop him.
Zhu Lingling also rushed forward, intending to save Lan Xi from harm.
"Ting'an!"
