Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Alarming the Board of Directors (1)

Gu Nuan habitually straightened her clothes as she walked through the door.

Xiaoliu turned her head and glanced at her: "You see, I didn’t lie to you."

Gu Nuan had no intention to bow her head; she had done nothing wrong to bow for. She looked straight ahead; the large conference room had an oval table, surrounded by seats enough for a hundred people, yet now it was occupied by only about ten people.

Probably these ten people were more precious than a full house of a hundred. That was an unspoken given.

As Gu Nuan had thought, those sitting here were all executive directors of the Changda Group, essentially all members of the Changda executive board were present.

It had not been expected that the incident in Merchant Team Three would alarm all the top executives of Changda.

Why?

Gu Nuan had thought that since someone could have died in the company, it was necessary for the higher-ups to send someone to inquire and show some concern. However, the seriousness of the situation did not seem to justify alarming all the senior executives.

First, no one had died, whether it was Fang Yongxing or she and Donald Duck who were trapped last night; it was more a matter of being scared but safe.

Second, if talking about accidents, there had been a worker who fell from a building before, and that had caused more of an uproar. Yet, she had not heard anyone mention that Merchant Team Three was unaware of that incident. This illustrated that the incident at Mingyue Plaza had not caught the attention of the higher-ups.

Suddenly, the high level of attention given by the senior executives had put the involved individuals under unimaginable pressure.

Gu Nuan could not help but guess that perhaps Fang Yongxing had anticipated this, which is why he had her stand in for Tang Qingzhong.

Tang Qingzhong was a genuinely nice person. If it were Tang Qingzhong suddenly facing the board of directors, he might have trembled and not been able to speak completely. However, she, Gu Nuan, clearly would not.

Fang Yongxing was aware of her ability to remain calm in the face of directors during her interview.

Gu Nuan wanted to say, "Director Fang, you really flatter me."

Truthfully, facing one director was one thing, but now she had to face ten directors, including the man standing at the pinnacle of the group.

In other words, Gu Nuan now had to face ten old foxes in the world of capital, ten crocodiles, including the king of crocodiles.

Xiao Yebai had just said she resembled a White Flower Snake, which was somewhat less than a crocodile.

Fortunately, the White Flower Snake was cunning enough. Once Gu Nuan realized why Fang Yongxing might have foreseen the board of directors questioning them personally, she made up her mind.

The old crocodiles sitting around the conference table each had their own posture, their faces all different. Of course, in Gu Nuan’s eyes, these were all mouths ready to open their jaws and devour one another at any moment.

Their eyes sizing up Gu Nuan were like those of crocodiles playfully watching a small fish swim past them.

It seemed that Gu Nuan was considered too insignificant for these crocodiles to even find her tasty.

This included the man sitting at the supreme throne of Changda—the powerful Xiao Jianming.

Her father-in-law?

The official information portrayed him as a nearly seventy-year-old man, yet he sported very neat, jet-black hair.

His two sword-like eyebrows were as if they were the twin swords at a Huashan swordplay conference, full of spirit. His straight, prominent nose conveyed a gallant air.

Not to mention his physique, regular exercise had not only prevented his belly from bulging, but it seemed he had also developed some muscles on his abdomen; he was neither too fat nor too thin, robust and vigorous.

He hardly looked like a retired old grandpa.

Successful career, the splendor of the Changda empire, undoubtedly had delayed this seventy-year-old man’s aging, making him look at most fifty. To the eyes of women, he seemed even more like a premium middle-aged man, not old at all. The charm that attracted women was in no way diminishing in Xiao Jianming’s physique and appearance.
