Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Ye Xinyu’s Face Turned Pale with Fright...

"Our Little Shushu’s face is beautiful like a celestial being," Sun Nanjue said, "wherever she appears, she’s always the center of everyone’s attention. Miss Ye Xinyu, you should really take it easy, after all... When you mimic a dog barking, I’m genuinely afraid some parts might just fall off..."

Everyone knew that rumors about Ye Xinyu getting plastic surgery were once a topic of interest inside the circle.

Ye Xinyu clenched her teeth in anger but kept a placid expression, scoffing, "Director Sun, your dedication to protecting the newcomer is indeed rare in the industry. I just fear you might have to share a downfall in face with your little newcomer after a while." Having said that, she turned and walked into the conference room.

After entering the conference room,

Ye Xinyu immediately noticed that the shareholders were eagerly chatting around Gu Zuocheng, and the little unpleasantness from earlier was quickly diluted by joy.

She walked in on tiptoe cat-steps to Gu Zuocheng’s side and unabashedly leaned her head on his shoulder as she took a seat next to him.

Seeing this, the shareholders immediately focused their attention on Ye Xinyu, fawning over her.

"Miss Ye, it’s wonderful to have you back," they said. "Ever since Chairman Ye disappeared, the Ye Group has been like a dragon without a head... The situation was getting worse by the day, if not for you and Young Master Gu securing a major tycoon like Dviad Chen to invest in the group, the group wouldn’t have seen a renewed lease on life."

"Yes, Miss Ye, I will definitely cast my vote for you during the voting for the person in charge later on," said one shareholder emphatically.

"Chairman Ye is the chairman of the Ye Group. In his absence, Miss Ye should naturally take the seat of the person in charge. I, Mr. Li, will also give you my vote."

...

Eighty percent of the shareholders expressed that they would vote for Ye Xinyu in the upcoming voting segment.

Ye Xinyu’s mood improved even further, thinking about how soon she would be able to disgrace Ye Shu and Sun Nanjue; her smile bloomed widely on her face.

"Thank you, thank you all for your support and trust, I definitely won’t let you down..." she said.

In reality, she understood that those old men were only acting this way because they had caught wind in advance that Dviad would vote for her. With the outcome practically decided, they naturally had to go with the flow and curry favor with her.

...

Everyone exchanged pleasantries.

Suddenly, the door to the conference room was pushed open from the outside.

A foreign man in a black suit walked in.

Everyone paused for a moment, then saw Gu Zuocheng whisper to Ye Xinyu, "Dviad Chen..."

Ye Xinyu immediately stood up, straightened her professional skirt, and followed Gu Zuocheng to greet the newcomer.

"Dviad Chen, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the shareholders’ meeting of the Ye Group," Gu Zuocheng extended a hand to Dviad Chen.

With a smile, Dviad Chen briefly shook his hand, and in stuttering Chinese said, "It is my honor to attend the Ye Group’s shareholders’ meeting."

"Hello, Dviad Chen, I am Ye Xinyu from the Ye Group," Ye Xinyu said excitedly, extending her hand to him.

He glanced at her, nodded, and symbolically shook her hand, "Hello." Then, he walked towards the conference table.

Ye Xinyu looked at her hand that the key investor had touched and was overwhelmed with excitement, feeling that he was recognizing her.

It wasn’t until Gu Zuocheng whispered a reminder to her that she snapped out of it and took her seat next to him at the conference table.

The conference table was oval-shaped, with three seats at the forefront, the central one being the main seat.

She and Gu Zuocheng naturally assumed the main seat was for David Chen, so they sat down to his left and right, respectively.

Gu Zuocheng took the seat to the left of the main seat, while Ye Xinyu sat to the right.

David Chen frowned at them, and took the seat next to Gu Zuocheng, without taking the main seat.

Gu Zuocheng was startled for a moment, hastily stood up, and earnestly invited David to the main seat, pressing him to sit.

David Chen’s brows furrowed even more deeply, but he ultimately didn’t say anything.

Gu Zuocheng then secretly wiped away sweat, realizing that David Chen placed great importance on hierarchical status; he should have let David sit first.

Ye Xinyu, oblivious to the subtlety, eagerly said, "David Chen, can we begin our shareholders’ meeting now?"

"Let’s start," David Chen replied bluntly.

Soon, the meeting proceeded to the vote to determine the person in charge.

The first nominee, naturally, was Ye Xinyu, the daughter of the former person in charge of the Ye Group, Ye Shengli.

Everyone raised their hands, and as Ye Xinyu watched the majority of the shareholders cast their votes, she was thrilled. However, when her gaze fell on David, her entire face turned ghostly pale...
