Xia Corporation was located in the CBD at the center of the Imperial Capital, with floors towering into the clouds. Looking down from above, the people below looked as small as ants.
Today was the Xia Corporation's mid-year strategic goal meeting.
The conference room was very large, able to hold hundreds of people, and was now packed full.
Xia Shihan wore a standard black suit. The infrared pointer in her hand pointed at the projector on the wall as she eloquently presented the Xia Corporation's strategic goals for the coming half-year.
Everyone at the meeting was focused, waiting for Xia Shihan to assign tasks.
Xia Shihan had great ambition; she planned to establish a foundation abroad within half a year.
Except for attending Lin Tai's birthday banquet, she had been planning Xia Corporation's development in her office.
As a reborn person, she had a clear understanding of future financial trends. With enough time, she was confident that her group's strength would surpass Ye Bai's financial empire.
Though she missed her youth deeply, Xia Shihan was determined not to seek out Lin Tai until she had enough power to wipe out Ye Bai and live worry-free with Lin Tai.
"Ring ring ring~" The phone rang untimely in the conference room.
Almost simultaneously, everyone began searching for the phone owner. Forgetting to silence the phone at a Xia Corporation strategy meeting was a serious matter.
Yet scanning around, no one saw whose phone was ringing.
"Hello." Xia Shihan answered the phone coldly; she hated being disturbed during meetings.
Of course, she did not silence her phone for a special reason, such as this moment!
The executives present were surprised to see that the phone ringing was in Xia Shihan's hand and that she actually answered it.
At that instant, they felt incredibly shocked. Xia Shihan had made the rules herself but was the first to break them?
However, none of the executives were fools.
At such an important meeting, Xia Shihan keeping her phone on clearly meant it was something serious.
Perhaps an overseas investment had gone wrong?
That was an investment worth hundreds of billions.
All the executives sat up straighter, waiting for Xia Shihan to finish the call.
"I understand." Xia Shihan spoke softly for a few moments, then tightly furrowed her brows.
The executives below immediately grew alarmed.
It must be a major incident. Since Xia Shihan took over, they had never seen her frown so deeply.
Most executives began sweating; they were responsible for some overseas investments, and if anything went wrong, they would be held accountable.
For now, no one knew which part had the problem, and everyone felt insecure.
Xia Shihan hung up and looked at the executives.
Seeing Xia Shihan's gaze, they all sat up straight, taking deep breaths, hoping she would not call them out by name.
"I have some personal matters to attend to; the meeting is postponed." Xia Shihan said this and strode out of the conference room in her high heels without looking back.
Only a group of sweating executives remained, sighing in relief in their seats.
It was not an exaggeration; Xia Shihan's aura was too strong, not like a rookie CEO but a battle-hardened, decisive financial titan, rivaling Old Master Xia.
Especially since she had doubled Xia Corporation's size in two years and led the company to continuous victories overseas, becoming a legend in the business world and earning their admiration.
Moreover, Xia Shihan's ruthless actions had expelled many useless executives from Xia Corporation.
With power, means, and ability, Xia Shihan's position in Xia Corporation had surpassed Old Master Xia.
Could they not be nervous?
"What kind of personal matters could President Xia have now?" Since the meeting was delayed, the executives began gossiping.
"Could Old Master Xia be in trouble?"
"Don't joke. What trouble could Old Master Xia have? I saw him recently, and he is in good health."
"Well, maybe not. People age, and one slip could be dangerous."
"Do you think President Xia's personal matter has to do with the Eldest Young Master of the Lin Family? There was a big online rumor today that the big Young Master got into the police station for beating someone on behalf of President Xia."
Someone said this, and all the executives immediately turned to look at that person.
"Have you thought before you spoke? President Xia would never care about that loser." Everyone sneered at that remark.
They knew Xia Shihan's extreme dislike of Lin Tai. They often saw how Xia Shihan looked at Lin Tai with disdain.
Besides, someone like Lin Tai did not deserve their President Xia.
A toad wanting to eat swan meat!
"President Xia would never care about that loser. What he did was just wishful thinking. I'd rather believe President Xia's personal matter is about the old master having trouble."
"Hope Chairman Xia is fine."
"Judging from President Xia's expression, it must be serious."
The executives' discussions continued nonstop.
The person who was just mocked flushed red. "Who knows? Maybe President Xia actually likes someone like that!"
Even though he did not really believe it, since he was mocked by others, he could not admit his mistake.
"Lawyer Li, the president wants you to prepare the materials. We must bail out Eldest Young Master Lin!" The conference room door was pushed open, and Xia Shihan's personal secretary walked in and spoke.
After the secretary spoke, the entire conference room instantly fell silent.
Their previous mockery suddenly felt like a hard slap in their faces!
The toad really ate the swan meat???????
