Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 1247: Chapter 1266: Disciplining the An Family Mother and Daughter (12)

Jiang Yu Kai glared at the two with dissatisfaction: "What do you mean, you two? Laughing so happily."

Rocky silently turned around, pretending not to see him or hear what he was saying.

An Nan couldn’t avoid it, so she awkwardly met his gaze: "What do you mean?"

She countered with this statement, feeling uncertain herself, as she was indeed in the mood for watching a drama, her eyes never daring to meet his directly, dodging here and there.

He wasn’t giving her the chance, continuing to clown around: "Nannan, you really have no conscience, despite my heartfelt efforts for you, and this is how you repay me. I’m so heartbroken, I..."

An Nan felt dizzy from his antics, hastily interrupting: "Enough, just say what you want directly, there’s no need for this."

Jiang Yu Kai’s intentions were seen through at first glance, but he showed no guilt and continued to straightforwardly state his ultimate goal: "I want a raise."

An Nan almost choked on her own saliva, glaring at him angrily: "You bastard, don’t you have any dignity?"

Jiang Yu Kai shook his head sincerely: "What do I need dignity for? Money is more important."

An Nan was utterly speechless and didn’t want to say anything more.

After the argument, everything began to develop according to the plan.

Since Xi Xilan resumed the position of chairperson of Nanqi Group, she’s kept her emotions tightly wound. She always felt that everyone around her was waiting to plot against her, and to solidify her position, the only thing she could do was show performance to prove to everyone that her return was based entirely on merit.

So, upon taking office, she initiated major actions within the company, starting with the development of a leisure resort in the West District of B City. Many shareholders disagreed with this proposal at the time, but she insisted against the majority, promising that she would bear the loss if it failed, finally getting all the shareholders to agree.

Following this, the development proceeded fervently. Initially, things were going well, and Xi Xilan grew increasingly confident.

Even when interviewed by the media, she boasted: "This resort development will be the wisest decision in our company’s history, and I will prove to everyone my wise decision-making."

However, shortly after she spoke those words, she ended up slapping herself in the face.

"Chairperson, bad news!"

The assistant was in a state of panic, and Xi Xilan immediately glared unhappily: "Don’t you have any sense of protocol? You’ve been with the company for so long, haven’t you seen all sorts of situations? Why panic over something minor now? If customers see this, can they still trust us completely?"

The assistant felt some resentment at the reprimand but immediately apologized to keep her job: "Sorry, Chairperson, give me another chance. I won’t do this again."

Xi Xilan continued to snort coldly, displeased as she asked, "Tell me, what’s the matter?"

The assistant, seeing she’s no longer dwelling on his issues, quickly began reporting the newly received news: "It’s about the resort, there’s a problem."
