Lin Yu gritted her teeth in fury and trembled as she listened to the voice coming through her phone, thinking, ‘I didn’t expect this Yun Nan to be so extremely despicable. To actually speak ill ofme behind my back like this!’ Shi Gao also heard Yun Nan’s words at the same time. Shi Gao frowned. ‘Could it be that the one who’s injured was truly Shi Nian? Shi Ke is fine? What the h *Il are those people doing over there? Such incompetence! Each one of them is more idiotic than the next!’

Yun Nan tried to keep up the one-sided conversation while communicating with Shi Ke on her phone. Puzzled, she typed, “Why is Lin Yu paying so much attention to us? Whether it’s me, Shi Nian, or even you, Big Brother… we have nothing to do with the Xi or Lin families on the surface.”

Shi Ke read the text, shook his head, and used his specialized phone to send out orders. At the same time, he also received news from Shi Nian: “Their target is the Shi Corporation.”

Shi Guang’s eyes widened, and he showed the message to Yun Nan. Yun Nan’s eyes also widened, and her heartbeat quickened.

Yun Nan thought of many possibilities in a flash but knew she couldn’t panic; they still had to fool their eavesdroppers. Shi Ke had a solemn expression, and Yun Nan simply took a magazine and sat down with it. Her brain was working at top speed, and she didn’t have any spare energy to organize her words, so she robotically recited an article.

It was a sleepless night for them both and others, too. There was an overcast atmosphere in the Shi Corporation’s headquarters. The mood was so low that all the employees walked on eggshells. The Shi Corporation’s stock price suddenly soared yesterday, causing huge waves in the stock market, but before the shareholders could jump for joy, it plummeted and continued to do so until the stock market closed.

The news that the Shi Corporation’s chairman, Shi Nian, was dying from serious injuries had spread like wildfire and immediately made the headlines of all the major news sections. All the shareholders rushed to the company today to hold an emergency meeting. The issues that everyone was most concerned about were Shi Nian’s injuries and who would take over the Shi Corporation.

Chang Yuan expressionlessly sat beside the chairman’s seat, listening as everyone expressed their views and spoke as if Shi Nian was already dead. Seeing them all stealing glances at the empty chairman’s seat, Chang Yuan really wanted to rage at them!

These people usually spent their days in pampered leisure, contributing nothing to the company, and would grin from ear to ear when they received their dividends. Yet they’re showing such ugly greed at the slightest hint of trouble now.

Someone pushed open the door of the conference room. Shi Yun leisurely walked in with one hand in his pocket, and behind him were his daughter-in-law, Yun Nan, and his secretary. Chang Nian finally heaved a sigh of relief and stood to welcome them, giving up his seat to Yun Nan.

room gradually quieted. Everyone felt slightly embarrassed by Shi Yun’s gaze.

Shi Yun cleared his throat and stated, “I have a piece of news to share with you all. I don’t know or care if it’s good or bad news for you guys, but Shi Nian isn’t dead!”

Everybody was stunned. A shareholder at the side took advantage of his ties with the Shi Corporation and smiled. “That’s going a little too far, isn’t it? Of course, we know that Shi Nian isn’t dead, but isn’t he seriously injured and still in critical condition? Mr. Shi! ‘A country cannot be without a king,’ and our huge corporation cannot be without a master!”

Shi Yun nodded. “You’re absolutely right! I’m here today to announce that while

Shi Nian is hospitalized, his wife, Yun Nan, will handle all the affairs of the Shi

Corporation!”

Yun Nan stood up under everyone’s stunned gazes and bowed slightly. “It’s a pleasure to meet you all. I look forward to working with you.”

“Mr. Shi… I don’t think that’s a good idea,” the shareholder who was the first to recover said unhappily. “How can you let an outsider manage the Shi Corporation? Isn’t that a joke?”

The others also responded furiously. “Yeah! It won’t do! Isn’t that fooling around with the interests of us shareholders?”

“Our stocks would fall and hit the down limit once this news is announced!”

“This is preposterous! You can’t mess around like this, Shi Yun! We have no objections if it were you coming back to manage the Shi Corporation, but—but this? Shi Nian’s wife?! That won’t do at all! No, no way! Absolutely not!”

Shi Yun didn’t say anything in the face of the crowd’s doubts. Some older shareholders moaned and groaned, “I would’ve sold my shares when someone came and asked to buy them these past two days if I’d Imown this would happen!”

“Yeah, that’s right. I might as well have sold my shares and cashed out! How stupid of me not to do so!”

“How could our Shi Corporation fall into such a state? This is ridiculous!”

Shi Yun, Yun Nan, and Chang Yuan shared looks. Everything was as they’d expected; someone was trying to buy out the Shi Corporation. Shi Yun raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet..
