My Husband is the Emperor : I Woke Up With a Husband

Silence invaded the room after Li Lian’s ignorant question. People were confused if Li Lian had asked purely out of curiosity but the smart ones could already pull the idea that it was all but her act.

A person from the left coughed, gathering attention quite deliberately but Li Lian didn’t love her eyes or face to look at the man. After all, she was a human, not a dog, thought Li Lian. She won’t turn her head to a person who could not use his own mouth to speak like a proper human.

The man was none other than the person who had backed up Mr. Xie earlier during Elder Fu’s questioning, Wan Chengquan. Finding his method of gathering Li Lian’s attention failing miserably, the man then said, "Excuse me, Miss Yue. I believe this is all too sudden. With all due respect, this might be the first time half of us ever seen you, and not to mention you are still young. I would like to put my trust in Senior Mrs. Xie’s judgment, but as one of the members liable to the vote, I need more than just a word. What we need is a result."

Li Lian’s smile grew as she picked her hand to place it before her lips, "How funny to hear that some of you trust only in result when our company’s condition is still lacking despite Mr. Xie being the director? I would say you would rather trust in your friend rather than the results."

Mr. Xie’s brows twitched upon Li Lian’s words, and he said, "Our company is facing a little slump but it is nothing that I can’t handle. In fact, we have begun picking a raise in our sales."

"Really?" Li Lian tapped her table for her bodyguard to come beside her. Taking the brown envelope, she then pushed it to the middle of the table with a flick of her finger, "I do hope you mean by a raise in the sale isn’t this minuscule number, don’t you?"

Someone on Mr. Wan’s side laughed, "I don’t think you understand how this works Miss Yue, a raise is already a good news. And it will continue to rise soon, little by little."

"I see how patient you are Mr. Guan, but you are the person who doesn’t seem to understand how this will work. An object that had been released to fall into a hole will continue to plummet. A raise is great, surely but who could guarantee in this room that the raise would be permanent? And how long will it take for the loss that we suffered from the last few months?" Li Lian asked the man with her eyes sharp, her words were polite but also fierce. "You might have ten years of your life but I never waste my ten years of living for something futile such as waiting."

Mr. Xie had planned his day to be a delightful one that he could remember in his memories for years, but instead, Li Lian appeared and like a horrible thunder break all his hope with a bolt. Clenching his jaw, he couldn’t resist himself to retort, "You speak as if you know what the solution to our problem is."
