“Oh?” Corey raised his brows as amusement appeared in his eyes. “Are you afraid that I will find other women?”
Ying Xiaoxiao’s smile froze on her face, but she recovered soon enough. Laughing loudly, she patted his shoulder. “Corey, you have such a good imagination! You should be a screenwriter.”
As she was patting with force, Corey frowned in pain. He moved her hand away and complained, “Ying Xiaoxiao, can you talk to me properly and stop hitting me!”
Ying Xiaoxiao’s hand froze in mid-air. She saw that he was upset, so she retracted her hand and replied, “I am sorry. I got too excited.”
Afterward, she asked, “How about it? Don’t you want to ask me out tomorrow?”
Corey caressed his shoulder, which was still in pain, and replied impatiently. “I will fetch you at 9 am tomorrow. Please remember to dress up.”
“I need to dress up?” Ying Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin in confusion before her eyes lit up. Was he going to…
She raised her head and was about to ask him, but saw that he had already walked into his office. He slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Looking at the closely shut door, Ying Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. What a mysterious man!
Sometimes, he joked around with her and did not care about his image.
Other times, he was deep and profound, making him a difficult person to approach.
He was a paradox.
Group’s shareholder meeting commenced at 9 am sharp. Rorey was early, and she sat down at the head of the meeting table, as if she was already the new chairman.
The shareholders were divided into two factions, the profit-oriented and the nostalgia-oriented.
The profit-oriented section consisted of shareholders that Rorey had bought.
The nostalgia-oriented shareholders were those who fought alongside Seneca.
Rorey glanced at the shareholders sitting around the table and felt relieved.
She controlled 43% of the shares now. With the addition of the shareholders who supported her, she would definitely clinch her victory.
She smiled in satisfaction, wondering how Rosiley could possibly turn the matter around.
However —
She raised her head and examined the old man sitting at the far end of the meeting table, Old Chen.
“Didn’t he say that he supports neither party? Why did he still come to the meeting?”
“Could it be?”
Rorey frowned. Before she could think further about the situation, Rosiley appeared.
She walked into the meeting room. Once she saw Old Chen, she smiled and nodded at him.
Old Chen smiled back benevolently, calming the nervous Rosiley down.
Rorey noticed their interaction, and her suspicion was confirmed.
Her eyes turned a little gloomy. She had not expected Old Chen to be on Rosiley’s side.
Noticing the malicious glare, Rosiley turned around and smiled at Rorey.
She slowly walked over. Pulling out the chair, she sat opposite Rorey, looking over at her.
The atmosphere in the meeting room became a little strange.
The shareholders looked at each other, none of them willing to break the silence.
