Unexpected Second Chance at Love-Chapter 836 - The people in this room

Chapter 836 - The people in this room

Entering the conference room, a long white table sat in the center. It was precisely as Wang Zhan had said. All the board members had already arrived.

Yue Ling did not make eye contact with anyone. She walked with her head high that showed she is the CEO and no one can belittle her.

Her entire being immitted the aura of a general ready for battle.

She stops in front of the main seat that remained vacant. She finally looks at the faces of each individual and chuckles inside.

There is a total of 15 board members. However, two were currently missing at the table. One is Tang Xu, who has yet to arrive, and the other is Wang Zhan, who had now entered the room.

However, what made her chuckle inside was the scene in front of her.

Out of the fourteen people present, eight people were standing while the other people were already seated.

"CEO Han, we have been awaiting your arrival."

"CEO Han, I hope there was no trouble on your way here."

Two board members from the standing group quickly greet Yue Ling with smiles.

Yue Ling nods her head in a polite gesture and takes a seat.

"Please have a seat. I have long waited for this meeting, so there was no trouble getting here."

However, unlike this group, the board members, who were already seated, either rolled their eyes displeasingly or arrogantly snorted.

From their point of view, the eight board members were only trying to get on Yue Ling's good side since she is the CEO. As for them, they will never allow a woman like Yue Ling to be their superior.

"Since Miss Han is finally here, how about we get this meeting done. I'm a busy person, and I have another meeting with an important client of An Qing."

A woman in her fifties spat out without any care. She wore a black dress suit with short curly hair. She wanted this meeting to end since she saw no purpose in it.

Chen Limei had recently been remove from the CEO position, and now Yue Ling is trying to claim the seat. There is no possible way to vote for someone as incompetent as Yue Ling to lead An Qing.

"I agree. Let's get this meeting over. I have more important things to do than sit here."

A man in a purple suit also voices his opinion as he is the same man who saw Yue Ling on the first floor. Quickly after him, more people voice their opinions.

Wang Zhan sat down on the chair on Yue Ling's right. He held a calm expression but deep inside, he was screaming with joy.

He knew that half of the board members approved Yue Ling as An Qing's CEO, while the other half, including him, was against it.

"As the board of directors, are you all not ashamed of your childish behaviors?"

An elderly man in a navy chang pao couldn't help but intervene. He sat at the end of the long table, but his voice was loud and clear.

He fixes the round glasses he was wearing and stares with eyes that could see through a person.

"CEO Han may be young, but she is still your superior in An Qing."

"Hmmf. How can we be ashamed? We are the board of directors. Everything we say here is the top priority."

A middle-aged man dressed in a black suit snorted his words with eyes viciously glaring at the elderly man.

He leans back on his chair and folds his arms over his c.h.e.s.t before averting his glare at Yue Ling.

"Even when Chen Limei was here, she knew her place."

The elderly man was bewildered by the man's horrible words. His lower lips tremble profusely like the words the man said had been directed at him and not at Yue Ling.

Yue Ling remained calm and composed the entire time. She couldn't help but look at the elderly man.

He was the first person to greet her when she entered the room. He was also one of the eight people who did not sit down until she did.

When she saw that he was planning to argue with the middle-aged man, her eyes leisurely flutter, and she shook her head ever so lightly.

"It seems today's meeting has taken too much of everyone's time."

Her angelic voice was soft and subtle but loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. It made those who opposed her feel a chill run down their spine.

"However, I would like to remind everyone sitting at this table to be apprehensive regarding today's meeting."

A smile appears on her face, and she gestures a signal.

"Since today is our first official meeting as CEO and board members, I would like to discuss some changes regarding An Qing."

Seeing the signal, Jiang Shengyi was quick on her feet to move. She walks away from Yue Ling's side and places a thick file folder in front of each individual seated at the table.

"In front of you are the records of An Qing that will change starting now."

Her smile never faltered like she was not in a meeting but enjoying her time in her home.

Half of the board members were shocked to hear that Yue Ling had already decided to make changes without informing them in advance.

"T-this... This is preposterous!"

Wang Zhan was distraught by what he was reading. He slams the folder on the table and abruptly rises to his feet. His movement was abrupt that his chair almost tipped over.

"CEO Han, what is the meaning of this?"

The doc.u.ments contained all the funds and names of every person or business associated with An Qing.

There was also a list of employees she is removing from their positions.

His right hand grabs the doc.u.ment, and he crushes the piece of paper.

"You are stepping out of line. I have been working for An Qing since the very beginning. If it were not for my help, An Qing would never be where it stands today."

He didn't care if Yue Ling wanted to make changes within An Qing. Better yet, he had hoped to see her plans fall. However, what angered him the most was that he is one of the people removed.

His face turned red to the point steam can be seen blowing out from his ears. He throws the crumpled paper on the floor and breathes heavily at the woman daring to disrespect him.

"You've gone too far with this. Do you think changing the way An Qing already is will benefit you or anyone in this room?"

He inhales a deep breath causing his body to tremble.

"You want to remove me, along with half the people in this room, knowing we decide the majority of the decisions here."

He viciously glares at Yue Ling like a lion ready to devour a deer.

"Don't forget, we were the ones who put Chen Limei in the CEO seat. We can also have you remove."

"That's right! You have no proof that the CEO position belongs to you, neither is there any proof that An Qing belongs to you."

"You dare to proclaim yourself as CEO when not one of us voted you."

They will not go down without putting a fight.

"CEO Han has made a point. These new changes will be good for An Qing. I do not see why you are all making a childish complaint."

A middle-aged woman with slightly gray hair could no longer stand the yelling and stop the group from making a scene.

She understands why they are angry, but who can they blame but themselves.

"Hu Gia, you are only able to speak such rubbish because your name is not on the removal list."

Li Jingke, the man who saw Yue Ling arrive, glares coldly at the woman name Hu Gia.

His name was also on the list. He has every right to be angry.

"If it were not for you trying to please Han Yue Ling, you wouldn't be speaking those words!"

His eyes scan to the people who were not on the list and sneers.

"All of you should be ashamed of yourselves for following the orders of someone younger than you."

"Li Jingke."

The moment Li Jingke's last word fell, Yue Ling's voice sounds without hesitation.

His head turns to Yue Ling, and he wanted to teach her a lesson, but he was quickly rooted in his chair.

Cold sweat slid down his back as he couldn't comprehend what was happening. For some reason, Yue Ling looked calm, but her calmness was like the calm before the storm.

He struggles a difficult gulp before opening his mouth to speak, but nothing came out.

Yue Ling softly chuckles at the man. Her eyes swept across the room to those who opposed her.

"You must be aging poorly. As a matter of fact, it seems like all the people complaining have aged too much."

She places her hands on the table and looks at Wang Zhan.

"It's true that the people in this room voted Chen Limei for the CEO position. However, you all seem to have forgotten that..."

Her gaze shifts from Wang Zhan to Li Jingke, then at each individual who had thought she was easy to take down.

"It is not you who put me in this seat, but I, who put you in the seat you are sitting."
