Saira rushed forward to help Christian up, berating him angrily as she did, "Zuri, how could you let someone hit him? What exactly are you trying to do?"
Zuri raised an eyebrow. "That's called self-defense. If you don't understand the law, you can consult with Lawyer Xiao here."
Brayden pushed up his glasses, his smile carrying an air of genteel malice, as harmless as it was cold. "Zuri is right. Miss Lin, you might want to read more books in the future. It could help you avoid making a fool of yourself."
Director Ma squinted at Brayden, a spark of recognition finally igniting in his mind. He had felt that Brayden looked familiar but couldn't immediately place him.
"Lawyer Xiao, you're Lawyer Brayden!" Director Ma pointed at Brayden, his face alight with excitement.
This title, "Lawyer Xiao," was unfamiliar to most of the people present. But the name "Brayden" was known to everyone.
The reason was simple: he was the chief legal counsel for FX Investment Company and an undefeated legend in Shanghai's legal circles.
Too many people sought him out to handle their lawsuits; he couldn't avoid fame even if he tried. For someone so busy to appear by Zuri's side, the implications were clear.
It was evident that Miss Zuri had a genuinely good relationship with the Feng family; otherwise, Brayden wouldn't be by her side, protecting her throughout.
As for the bodyguards, they were naturally assumed to be under the Feng family's command as well.
Others in the room quickly stood up to greet Brayden, some even asking for his help with their own legal matters.
Brayden smiled at them and said, "Today, I'm Zuri's exclusive attorney. Any other matters will have to wait."
"Yes, of course," many people echoed, showing their agreement.
Once the room had settled down, Brayden spoke up, "Given that the Lin family's involvement is detrimental to the company's reputation and future development, my client proposes a name change for the corporation."
This was Zuri's true revenge!
She wasn't just going to expel the Lin family from the company—she was going to strip the company of its very name.
Zuri had many ways to bring down the Lin Corporation, but an entirely defunct company wouldn't constantly remind them of their incompetence.
Wouldn't it be far better for them to be tormented day and night by feelings of frustration, anger, and humiliation?
Dalia stared at Zuri in disbelief. "How can you do this?"
Christian broke free from Saira's hold and furiously charged forward, only to be pinned to the ground by two men, unable to move.
"Zuri, you vile woman! If you dare change the name, I will never forgive you, never!"
"Let go of me! Let go!" Christian struggled, but it was in vain.
Brayden didn't even spare him a glance, turning instead to the board members. "Directors, if you agree, please raise your hand."
This time, there was no hesitation; everyone raised their hands in unison.
The company had already changed hands—what difference did a name change make?
Besides, the new director in front of them had the powerful Feng family backing her. With the Feng family as support, making money in the future would be a breeze.
Opposing this decision would mean opposing their own financial interests.
Director Ma and the former shareholders who had sold their shares were all filled with regret.
"Unanimous approval!"
The Lin family members' faces turned ashen.
President Zhao asked, "Director Shi, what will the new name be?"
"Jinxiu." Zuri casually uttered the two words.
From today onwards, the Lin Corporation would officially be renamed Jinxiu Group.
The Lin Corporation was now completely a thing of the past!
No matter how much the Lin family protested and struggled, they could not change the outcome.
Christian and his group left, dejected, like defeated roosters.
As soon as the meeting ended, an email from the board of directors was sent to all Lin Corporation employees.
"Whoa! The Lin Corporation is really going through a complete overhaul."
"Oh my gosh! Zuri is going to be the chairman. Why does her name sound so familiar?"
"I remember! She's the second young lady, isn't she?"
"That's old news. The second young lady isn't even the chairman's daughter."
"Then why would she...?"
Everyone was puzzled.
"Who knows what goes on in rich families. But check out how impressive this second young lady is. She quietly took over as the chairman."
Regardless of the employees' speculations, Zuri moved into the company, pushing open the door to the chairman's office.
Outside, the employees were curious about their new chairman, while Zuri nonchalantly surveyed the office.
"This office needs a renovation," Brayden commented.
"It does need a change. Oh, by the way, the new company sign I ordered should have arrived. Want to go take a look?" Zuri invited.
"Of course."
As the two of them walked to the entrance of the building, they saw Christian trying to obstruct the workers. The building's security guards stood nearby, unwilling to intervene.
"What's going on here? I was told the sign would be changed today. Why are you saying it's not happening now?"
"This company belongs to my family! Who told you it was being changed? It's not happening. Give me that sign." As he spoke, Christian reached out to grab it.
The worker blocked him. "Just because you say so? Are you Miss Zuri? If not, why should I give it to you?"
"You won't give it to me, huh? I'll smash it then."
Christian lifted his foot, ready to kick the sign.
Zuri waved her hand, and the bodyguards swiftly stepped forward, picked Christian up, and tossed him aside.
Seeing Zuri arrive, Christian pointed at her in rage. "You just changed the name, and now you've already got the sign made. This was premeditated!"
Zuri shrugged, her mocking gaze seeming to say, *You're only realizing this now?*
The worker noticed Zuri approaching. "Are you the one in charge? Is the sign being changed or not?"
"Change it," Zuri confirmed.
"Got it."
The worker signaled to his team and they began the work.
Dalia, Christian, and Saira could only watch as the workers dismantled the characters for "Lin," carelessly tossing them to the ground. As the "Lin" character hit the ground, it split in two, almost symbolizing the final fate of the Lin family.
Their hearts sank; it wasn't just the sign that had shattered, but their spirits as well.
Watching the word "Jinxiu" take its place above the entrance, their hearts twisted in agony.
"Let's go," Dalia said.
Saira took her arm, ready to leave. But after just two steps, they were blocked by someone.
Zuri smiled at Dalia. "Madam Lin, I wonder if you've given any more thought to the proposal I mentioned last time?"
Dalia recalled the last words Zuri had said to her when she left the Lin household.
Hmph!
*Dream on if you think you'll ever learn the truth about your origins!*
Dalia's eyes flickered toward Brayden.
She wasn't even the Lin family's daughter anymore, yet the Feng family was still helping her.
This infuriated Dalia!
"I have nothing to say to you," Dalia replied, her face emotionless.
"Madam Lin, are you sure you won't reconsider? This is your last chance." Zuri smiled sweetly at her, her expression unusually radiant.
