Gu Chen maintained a faint smile on his face from beginning to end, which might lead those unaware to think that he was acting out of fear of everyone, anxious that his poor performance might cost him the title of Acting Chairman.
But Shen Xian was well aware that Gu Chen must already have a plan in mind.
His smile was not one of fear, but one of confidence.
Ma Qi was quietly seated aside, making no sound at all. Having finished taking meeting minutes, she was staring intently at her computer screen, completely indifferent to any external affairs.
Just when everyone thought Gu Chen would enter a tense standoff with Zhang Shi, Gu Chen's phone rang.
He took out the phone from his suit's inner pocket with two fingers, glanced at the caller ID, and answered it there and then without leaving the room.
Zhang Shi was livid at this. Here he was, a veteran of the company, expressing his opinions, and this kid Gu Chen was nonchalantly taking a phone call. What sort of behavior was that?
