In the villa of the Lin family. The owner of the villa, Lin Guohong, his family, and the guest, Lin Anran sat on the sofa of the living room.
The tea had already been cold, but the tense atmosphere made the servants retreat to a corner, not daring to add water.
The well-dressed woman patted the armrest of the sofa and snapped, "Lin Anran, you'd better figure it out that the chairman of Lin Yuan Group is now your eldest uncle. No one can stop him if he wants you to get out today."
With a scornful smile, Lin Anran said indifferently, "Eldest Aunt, you can eat rice indiscriminately, but don't talk nonsense. As the CEO and shareholder of Lin Yuan Group, anyone who wants to drive me away must get the consent of the board of directors."
Seeing that her words didn't threaten Lin Anran at all, Zhou Yixin had to wink at her husband beside her.
Noticing his wife's gaze, Lin Guohong coughed and said with a smile, "Anran, don't worry. Eldest uncle doesn't want to drive you away. It's just the change of personnel in the group. After all, you are a girl and will get married and have children in the future. It's not appropriate for you to always sit in the position of CEO. For example, your eldest brother attended the social engagement tonight on behalf of you. If he replaces you to take the responsibility directly, you can have time to fall in love."
Hearing her father's words, Lin Weiwei couldn't help chuckling and sneered, "Humph! She is so strong. Who dares to fall in love with her?"
Lin Anran didn't care about it, nor did she look at Lin Weiwei with her sharp eyes. She fixed her eyes on Lin Guohong all the time and said, "Eldest Uncle, you are so considerate for me. But I don't have any plans to fall in love now. You know, my parents have put a lot of effort into running the group well. Lin Yuan Group is their painstaking effort. I am absolutely responsible for it. As for others taking power, it is absolutely impossible."
Her voice was not loud, but with an unquestionable tone. Lin Guohong didn't expect that she would refuse him so bluntly, and he didn't know how to refute for a moment.
Since the age of 18, Lin Anran followed her father Lin Guohua into Lin Yuan Group to learn the business. The year Lin Guohua became seriously ill, the 22-year-old Lin Anran started to take responsibility as the CEO of the group. In Lin Yuan Group, no one dared to underestimate her, so Lin Guohong knew that unless Lin Anran took the initiative to let go of her power, even he, the chairman, could not replace her hastily.
…
"This..." When Lin Guohong was about to organize expression, Zhou Yixin suddenly interrupted him, "Then we'll hold a board meeting and dismiss you according to the procedure."
Lin Anran didn't panic. She leaned against the sofa leisurely and looked at Zhou Yixin with a smile. "It's really different to get the heritage of grandma. Eldest Aunt speaks with such confidence now."
Lin Anran knew that the shares currently held in the hands of her eldest uncle were proportionally more than her, but she was confident that she could convince the other shareholders to support her.
"Then let's hold a board meeting and talk about the change of the chairman by the way." Lin Anran replied lightly.
Being despised by the younger generation in front of his wife and daughter, Lin Guohong felt humiliated and lost his image as an elder that had been maintained for a long time. He pointed at Lin Anran and said, "Anran, what do you mean!"
"Just literally meaning." Now that they wanted to deal with her first, she didn't have to be polite. Her grandmother had already passed away and it was time to settle the score.
Not talking more with them, Lin Anran stood up and said arrogantly, "The board meeting will be held next week. Eldest Uncle, don't forget to attend it. We'll see the result next week."
…
Hearing this, Lin Guohong's face changed greatly, and Lin Weiwei shouted directly, "Don't be complacent, Lin Anran. Lin Yuan Group is not yours alone..."
Ignoring the three people behind her, Lin Anran left the villa in the noise of Lin Weiwei.
In the morning a week later, in high heels, Lin Anran walked out of the elevator in high spirits. Thinking of the board meeting half an hour later, she couldn't help smiling.
In a week, she contacted several other shareholders. She was confident about the result of the board meeting.
However, the good mood of Lin Anran didn't affect her assistant, Gao Ze. Seeing her coming, he looked serious, picked up a newspaper, and followed her into the CEO's office.
"Ms. Lin, there is news about Lin Weiwei in today's newspaper. You'd better read it."
Gao Ze was usually very measured, Lin Anran knew he would not let her read Lin Weiwei's gossip for no reason, so she took the newspaper.
Seeing that the expression on her face gradually turned to surprise, Gao Ze continued to add carefully, "I just saw the secretary of the vice CEO Mr. Lin in the elevator. He said that Mr. Pei had 10% of the shares, if..."
"I was too careless." Before Gao Ze finished his words, Lin Anran said to herself.
She had never expected that something unexpected would happen about Pei Chengyang.
Lin Anran threw the newspaper on the table. When she raised her head, she looked as confident as before.
"You did a good job. Make me a cup of coffee."
Gao Ze took the order and used the coffee machine on the side. Meanwhile, Lin Anran took out her mobile phone and dialed a number.
Soon, a strange and familiar baritone voice came through the phone, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Lin Anran."
The microphone was silent for a few seconds, and the original baritone voice was a little lower. "If it's not about Wanwan, I have nothing to talk to you."
"Of course, it's about her. I'll give you 20 minutes to come to my office for a face-to-face talk."
After saying that, Lin Anran hung up the phone. 20 minutes later, a tall man appeared at the elevator. Wrapped in a well-tailored suit, the man's figure was almost perfect. There was no expression on his sculptural face, and he exuded a strong and cold aura.
When Gao Ze saw the person coming, he was shocked. It turned out that the phone call was made to him just now. His boss was so awesome. She could even control Mr. Pei at will and dared to hang up his phone. It seemed that the chairman's change was bound.
While thinking, Gao Ze fawningly walked up to Pei Chengyang and led him into Lin Anran's office.
As the door was closed, Pei Chengyang came straight to the point, "Now I'm here. Can you tell me where Wanwan is?"
Hearing this question, the scene that he broke into her office last time appeared in Lin Anran's mind.
Because Pei Chengyang couldn't find Song Wanwan, he was like a furious lion. In order to force her to tell him where Wanwan was, he almost strangled her.
But in a twinkling of an eye, he was engaged to Lin Weiwei!
Well, a man's oath was unreliable. Just like that year, he fell in love with her on the Internet, and on the other hand, he had become someone else's boyfriend.
Thinking of this, Lin Anran looked into his eyes and said in a formulaic tone, "Yes, but before that, you have to promise me one condition."
"Sure enough, you are Lin Anran. No matter what you do, you have to put forward conditions." Pei Chengyang said in a teasing tone, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Without showing any weakness, Lin Anran took out the newspaper and threw it in front of him. "The news of your engagement with others has been reported on the newspaper. If you don't show some sincerity, how can I rest assured to give Wanwan to you?"
Pei Chengyang picked up the newspaper, glanced at the title casually, and threw it back to the tea-table. "I will clarify this matter and tell me your conditions."
