The purpose of hosting this reception was very simple for Xiao Chen; it was to make it clear to businesses outside that although Jiang He had passed away, his daughter had taken over her father's business.
Those who were worried that Jiang Corporation would decline need not worry anymore.
Those who only worked with Jiang He can now confidently come back and look for Jiang Meng.
Xiao Chen's intention was not only to promote Jiang Meng to the position of General Manager, but also to make her the true helmsman of Jiang Corporation.
Unless Jiang Meng decides one day she does not want to do it anymore, he would work hard to satisfy his wife as long as she likes it.
At the reception, most of the questions from the journalists were about the future development of Jiang Corporation.
Only Journalist Chen kept asking some tricky questions, intentionally making it difficult for Jiang Meng.
However, Xiao Chen resolved each one, making Journalist Chen look bad in the process.
Eventually, when Journalist Chen was pressed, he brought up the baseless speculations of Jiang Tian and openly asked about them.
"It is said that Zhongjiang Industrial insists on appointing Jiang Meng as General Manager before signing a contract.
Is there such a thing?"
Journalist Chen asked.
"Correct!"
Xiao Chen answered.
Journalist Chen wanted to continue questioning, but was cut off by Xiao Chen: "I think among all the journalists here, you seem to have some problems with your IQ.
Every question you asked before was nonsense.
Anybody with a brain knows what the answers are, you're wasting everyone's time.
I really don't know how someone like you became a journalist.
Or did you take someone's dirty money to deliberately make things difficult for my Mengmeng?
Why does Zhongjiang Industrial insist on having Jiang Meng as General Manager before signing a contract?
That's because Zhongjiang Industrial's original intention to cooperate with Jiang Corporation was because of Jiang He and Liu Xin.
Now that Jiang He has passed away.
Liu Xin has joined Zhongjiang Industrial.
They naturally trust Jiang Meng more than a certain acting chairman who managed to lead Jiang Corporation down the drain within a year."
"But there are rumors that Liu Xin had improper relationships with Boss Chen and President Zhang!"
Journalist Chen said.
"So being a journalist is this easy, huh? Random rumors can be taken as news?
Be careful, or I might sue you for slander."
Xiao Chen said coldly.
"If there's no improper relationship, why would President Zhang take office and immediately get Liu Xin into Zhongjiang Industrial? It doesn't make sense!"
Journalist Chen continued to nitpick.
"You are wrong!"
Xiao Chen had yet to speak when a woman entered from outside.
Her cheeks were fair and charming yet cool, her clear eyes full of pride.
As if she didn't put the whole world in her eyes.
Her lips lightly pursed, delicate and shimmering.
In every move, she exuded coolness and elegance.
Her well-tailored clothes further emphasized her icy and noble temperament.
This woman, when looking at others, was proud, even somewhat contemptuous.
But when she looked at Xiao Chen, her eyes revealed a burst of surprise and warmth.
"Isn't that Andi?"
"The ice queen executive of the multinational corporation! What is she doing here?"
"My God, I've only ever seen her in newspapers and on TV; I never thought I'd get to see her up close today!"
Andi stepped onto the stage, and Jiang Tian unconsciously made way for her.
This was a person he couldn't afford to provoke.
With just one word, she could make Jiang Corporation collapse instantly.
"Liu Xin was recruited by me to join Zhongjiang Industrial. Such talent, since it's unwanted by Jiang Corporation.
Our Xiao Corporation still values her.
Zhongjiang Industrial is an important acquisition project of Xiao Corporation in Linhai, and we need a reliable person to manage it."
Andi looked at Journalist Chen and spoke indifferently: "Any more questions?"
Her words shattered the rumors without them needing to attack.
It's not like they could say Liu Xin tried to seduce Andi, right?
Journalist Chen opened his mouth, but Andi was someone he couldn't afford to provoke.
Pissing off Andi, he feared he might even lose his job.
In the end, he shut his mouth.
The press conference also finally came to an end.
Jiang Tian's plans had all failed, and instead, he had lost all his dignity, even his most trusted Manager Bai was furious with him.
Journalist Chen was also scolded to the point of losing face.
However, this was just the beginning.
After the press conference ended, Journalist Chen received a phone call from the TV station, saying, "You're fired, come to the TV station when you have time to go through the severance procedure."
"What kind of joke is this, you can't just fire me, you have to compensate me for at least ten thousand yuan in damages!"
Journalist Chen roared.
"You still want money? We already have evidence of you taking money to fabricate news.
Just wait for the court summons."
The person on the other end of the phone said coldly, then hung up.
Journalist Chen was dazed, completely dumbfounded.
He racked his brains to figure out where he had gone wrong.
Thinking it over, he realized he had only done one thing today, which was to cause trouble for Jiang Meng.
"Could it be her?"
Journalist Chen trembled.
"Could there be some connection between Jiang Meng and Andi?"
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. He tried to approach Jiang Meng again, but Andi's bodyguards ruthlessly barred his way.
Now, no one wanted to listen to his nonsense.
In the general manager's office, which still hadn't been cleared out.
Tan Ting, who had no managerial skills, sat inside, trimming her nails.
This Jiang Tian was truly a talent, to have an entertainment star manage a corporation, no wonder Jiang Corporation was in trouble.
"Chairman Jiang, your Jiang Corporation's way of handling things is a bit unreliable," Andi frowned and said.
Jiang Tian stood beside Andi, feeling like a clown.
He had completely lost the dominance he usually had as a chairman.
"Someone, drag her out of here and clean up the office quickly!"
Jiang Tian was desperate and didn't care that the person sitting there was his wife; he directly ordered the security to drag Tan Ting away.
If one really put their heart into it, it wouldn't take long to tidy up a general manager's office.
"Chairman Jiang, please leave and close the door behind you, I have some words for General Manager Jiang Meng," Andi said, looking at Jiang Tian with a cold demeanor.
She was always like this, as proud as a queen atop an iceberg.
Jiang Tian was stunned for a moment but eventually left the room.
"Dad, isn't this a case of a dove occupying a magpie's nest? You are the chairman, what gives that woman the right to be so arrogant.
But, she is certainly beautiful, I really want to have her," Jiang Dong said excitedly.
"Shut up, do you have a death wish?"
Jiang Tian's face turned pale with fright and he quickly covered Jiang Dong's mouth.
"Someone said that before, and afterward, they lost their tongue. Do you want that too?"
Jiang Dong immediately closed his mouth. Never before had anyone seen his father so scared.
That Andi, whether an iceberg queen or an iceberg devil, was unknown.
But she was certainly terrifying.
However, such a woman was still single at twenty-eight.
This led to a lot of speculation among people.
The most believable one was that Andi was the woman of Xiao Corporation's boss.
Only that boss was too mysterious, rarely seen by anyone.
