The shareholders’ gazes were all fixed on Zuo Xianyu, filled with expectation.

The Lin family from Sijiu was a wealth family, though not as prominent as the Xie family, they were on par with the Shen and LI families.

Especially Lin Qingchen, the family’s eldest grandson, known as the national medical sage, the youngest neurologist in Great Xia. Forming a connection with the Lin family was crucial.

They placed all their hopes on Zuo Xianyu.

Without her exceptional business acumen, the Zuo Corporation would not have reached its current stature.

Elder Feng deeply recognized Zuo Xianyu’s capabilities.

Suppressing her unease, Zuo Xianyu said, “Let me take a look.” As she flipped through the documents, her inner fear grew.

She had made mistakes before, but now she was completely unable to understand.

How could this be?!

The shareholders grew increasingly impatient as Zuo Xianyu remained silent.

“Xianyu, if you can’t draft the proposal right now, just discuss these points with us,” Elder Feng intervened timely. “Everyone is eager to hear your ideas.”

Zuo Xianyu’s back was soaked with cold sweat, “I…”

She understood nothing, so what ideas could she possibly have?

Zuo Yuanlin narrowed his eyes, “Zuo Xianyu, don’t tell me you have no idea how to write a proposal. This proposal is much simpler than the one you signed last year.”

“Ridiculous,” Zuo Xianyu took a deep breath, her tone icy. “I attended various meetings with Grandpa at sixteen, while you were still fighting in high school at that age. Do you really need to mock me here?”

Zuo Yuanlin laughed, unoffended, and pointed to a line in the document, “Then, explain this point to us.”

Zuo Xianyu remained silent.

The sharpness in the shareholders’ eyes intensified.

Feeling as if thorns pricked her back, Zuo Xianyu abruptly stood, “I’ll take it home. I’ll definitely have the proposal ready by this week.”

Fearing her confusion would be noticed, she quickly left the conference room.

“Elder Feng, did you see? I’m starting to doubt if she ever wrote those proposals herself,” Zuo Yuanlin scoffed. “The question I asked is clear to a second-year MBA student. She’s been out of school for how long and yet sweated under my questioning.”

Zuo Xianyu’s behavior was exceedingly abnormal, unlike her usual composed self.

Elder Feng grew suspicious, frowning, “Let’s wait until the weekend. If she can’t produce it, it’s not too late to dismiss her then. The entirety of Zuo Tianfeng’s branch seems off.”

After Zuo Zonghe became vegetative, rumors had circulated in Lin City about the Zuo family’s misdeeds, suggesting they were haunted, leading to death and disability within the family, with one even institutionalized.

If Zuo Xianyu turned out to be a failure, it would indeed be a laughingstock.

After the meeting, Zuo Yuanlin instructed his assistant with a grim expression, “Keep a close eye on Zuo Xianyu. If anyone helps her with the proposal or if she seeks help, report back.”

He intended to use this opportunity to ensure Zuo Xianyu never recovered.

The assistant nodded and went to carry out the orders.

Meanwhile, at a LI family residence.

LI Yuzhi had been busy searching for his biological son in recent years and moved out of the LI family estate.

Feeling guilty for neglecting him, the old Master LI bought a new house in the best part of Sijiu for him.

The producer had arranged to watch the final cut of “Seeking the Lost” with LI Yuzhi at noon today.

“Mr. LI, this is the final version of ‘Seeking the Lost’ the producer said. “Of course, we’ll edit it further before release to ensure it passes the review process.”

LI Yuzhi had seen the earlier footage but became more attentive when Si Fuqing appeared on screen, “Who is she?”

“A newcomer recommended by Teacher Yuan Heping, ” the producer smiled.

“Honestly, I had doubts about her initially, but she perfectly matched Tao Yunqi’s performance, far surpassing this year’s graduates from Great Xia Flim

Academy.”

“Not being formally trained yet acting so well, it makes you think those from film backgrounds should be retrained.”

Lacking both skills and looks, it was a wonder how some survived in the entertainment industry.

Experts appreciate the technique, while laymen enjoy the spectacle.

Although the audience may not scrutinize the emotional layers in Si Fuqing’s performance, being moved by it signifies her success.

“Ms. Si has worked hard,” LI Yuzhi stood up, escorting the producer out. “When promoting the movie, I must personally meet her..”
