When the meeting started, Han Muzi handed the document over to Xiao Su because it was rather inconvenient to hold it in her hands. Since Xiao Su didn’t want to go back to rest, she just let him follow her. When everything had been settled, she would ask someone to send him back to the hospital.
In the conference room, everyone there knew Han Muzi. After all, the news of her wedding to Ye Moxuan was quite big. On top of that, her background was not exactly low-profile either. She was a well-known designer, and at the same time, she was also the Young Lady of the Han Family. Upon seeing her, everyone was stunned for a while. After all, no one would expect her to show up here.
“What’s going on? Isn’t she Han Muzi from the Han Group? Why is she here?” A few people discussed among themselves. “I’m not quite sure either. Why is she here?”
Someone took the lead and blocked Han Muzi’s way. “We are having an internal meeting of the Ye Group today. It’s probably inappropriate for you to show up here.”
Han Muzi stopped and looked at him. “How so?”
“You…” He looked at Han Muzi with a conflicted expression on his face. “Although everyone knows about your relationship with Ye Moxuan, you are not part of the staff at the executive level. Let alone that, you aren’t even an employee of the Ye Group. To the Ye Group, you are merely an outsider. Since you are just an outsider, you have no rights to attend this meeting.”
“Just chase her out! She is just a woman who is unrelated to us. How dare she joins the meeting of the Ye Group!” A majestic voice rang from the entrance.
Upon looking at the source of the voice, everyone saw an old man in a wheelchair being pushed into the room. Even though he was quite old, he still had a glint of shrewdness in his eyes. His emaciated figure made him look even fiercer.
Xiao Su, who was standing behind Han Muzi, twitched his eyebrow. It’s… Old Master Ye. And the one pushing the wheelchair was none other than Ye Linhan.
When Ye Linhan pushed Old Master Ye into the room, he looked at Han Muzi. Both of their eyes met, and Ye Linhan felt that there was a trace of mocking in her eyes… and disappointment.
Disappointment? Ye Linhan moved his fingers as he pressed his lips together into a firm line. She actually… still has hope for me? Otherwise, why would she be disappointed? Forget it. So what if she’s disappointed? I still have to follow this path that I have taken. Once I have taken over the company, and since Ye Moxuan isn’t here anymore, I have many ways to make her fall for me.
After all, Old Master Ye’s words were still quite influential. Upon hearing his orders, a few security guards walked to Han Muzi directly.
When Xiao Su saw that, his expression changed immediately. Bearing the pain on his face, he scolded loudly, “How dare you! She is Young Lady Ye! How dare you touch her!”
Everyone knew that Xiao Su had been working with Ye Moxuan for a long time. Seeing that he defended Han Muzi even though he was heavily wounded, they couldn’t bring themselves to ignore him. Hence, the few guards didn’t dare to move forward anymore.
Old Master Ye asked solemnly, “Xiao Su, do you think that she, as the Young Lady Ye, is even more honorable than me?”
“Old Master Ye, I didn’t say that, did I? But you asked the guards to chase her out. So do you think that the guards are even more honorable than Young Lady Ye?”
Old Master Ye stuttered, “Y-You—” In that instant, he was so furious that his face flushed red.
Although the wound on Xiao Su’s face hurt him, he felt vindictive. Luckily I’ve been working with Young Master Ye for a long time now. I learn from his sharp jabs subconsciously through his actions.
“Grandpa, don’t get angry.” Ye Linhan then lowered his head to say something to Old Master Ye while gently massaging his chest to make him breathe easier.
Old Master Ye paused for a moment before lifting his head again. His shrewd gaze fell on Han Muzi’s face once more. “Fine. Even if I don’t ask the security guards to chase you away, you can’t stay here either. This is the internal meeting of the Ye Group.”
Han Muzi met his gaze without any fear and showed a faint smile. Then, she turned around and walked toward the center position in the meeting room.
When everyone saw this, they couldn’t help but hold their breath. That position belonged to Ye Moxuan. In the office, apart from Ye Moxuan, no one else dared to sit there. Is Young Lady Ye going to sit on the previous spot of Young Master Ye?
While everyone was still speculating, Han Muzi already sat down and put her hands on the table. Then, she raised her head to look around the room. “I am Ye Moxuan’s wife. Now that he isn’t here, it’s natural that I will represent him. Since you say that it’s a very important internal meeting, I can’t possibly be absent. What is the agenda for today’s meeting? We can start now,” Han Muzi said in a firm voice.
When they saw her sitting there and heard that her tone was exactly like Ye Moxuan’s, Mr. Chen, who had always liked to oppose Ye Moxuan, suddenly said loudly, “Yes! You are right! Now that Moxuan isn’t here, you shall represent him as his wife to start this meeting. It’s the same after all. I agree with that!” Then, he was the first to sit down.
His position was quite in front as he was a prominent figure in the company—apart from Ye Moxuan, he had the most shares in the company.
When many people saw that he had agreed to that, they also sat down and concurred to that as well. Half of the people in that room had already taken their seats, leaving only the people on Mr. Lin’s side.
Mr. Lin rubbed his fingers together while looking at Han Muzi with a cunning smile on his face. “Chen, you change your mind too quickly. Though it’s true that she is Ye Moxuan’s wife, since when do we have a rule saying that his wife can represent him in a meeting? Does she understand what we are about to discuss? Even if she can barely keep up with us, is she able to make the important decisions? This is closely tied to the survival of the company. You better not make rash decisions.”
However, Mr. Chen looked at him nonchalantly. “Wait, so while you are allowed to side with outsiders, I am not allowed to side with the President’s wife? Your last sentence is apt—this is closely tied to the survival of the company. Of course I will be careful. Or else…” He glanced at Ye Linhan as if he was talking about him. “One day when the Ye Group is taken away by a certain scheming someone, but he is not competent enough, we can’t even keep our position in North City. I’m afraid at that time, we can’t even enter the top three.”
People who sat down with him also nodded.
“Indeed. Young Master Ye’s capabilities are unrivaled.”
“True. Even though he looks quite annoying with that cold expression, we are all used to it. As long as he can take care of the Ye Group and let our business prosper, we can ignore all that.”
“Lin, I advise you not to join forces with the evil. At this moment, Moxuan has only gone missing temporarily, yet you already want to connect with the outsiders to replace his position. Aren’t you worried that you will be skinned alive by him when he returns?”
Mr. Lin paused for a while before saying, “Is this how you talk to people?”
At this moment, Ye Linhan opened his mouth. “Gentlemen, please hear me out.”
