Chapter 36: Congratulations, Xin Yan
"That is too bad; I hope he is released soon so her mental health can be treated," she said sincerely.
"He will be released if you speak up; you are the one who put him in jail." Jiang Lanfen, who had previously been calm, erupted in an instant at Xin Yan’s words.
The entire room turned to look at Xin Yan, who appeared perplexed.
"Jiang Lanfen, I have said it before, and I will say it again: Yuan Renshu stole from the company, formed a company, and transferred the company’s funds to it; do you expect me to forgive him?" She could only sigh helplessly at her folly.
"I also have every reason to believe that this is the company he founded, the one led by your father," she said, only guessing, not expecting to be correct.
Jiang Lanfen and Jiang Zhengzhou’s expressions cracked when they heard her words. Meanwhile, the other CEOs’ attitudes toward them changed.
Even CEO Tian, who opposed Xin Yan, believed she had done the right thing. He would never allow anyone to steal from him. One of the things that these CEOs despised the most was betrayal; they could never forgive betrayal.
While the atmosphere was tense, Guan Yu entered with a cheerful smile, which helped to calm things down considerably.
He only swept his eyes around them, sensing something was wrong. He was not going to ask about it, though. He knew the CEOs were fierce competitors, so he just attributed the atmosphere to them blowing off steam.
