The Eastern man was startled, but relieved that no one present understood Chinese, which restored his courage. He glared at Ou Xueman, “Do you know where you are? This is not a place for a woman to cause a scene. If you continue talking nonsense, I can have security throw you out at any time.”
Seeing his expression, Jessica and her team stepped forward, causing Tong Yitian to sink back into his chair.
Ou Xueman remained calm, signaling her team to stay composed, a slight smile on her lips, “Mr. Tong Yitian, although I’m not a major shareholder, I do own a small stake. I happened to be curious today and came to take a look.”
Tong Yitian was stunned.
He had heard from Tong Yifeng about a mysterious shareholder on the board, whose identity was unknown but whose shares were significant enough to secure a seat. He never expected it to be this beautiful woman.
Seeing Tong Yitian looking embarrassed, Ou Xueman smiled calmly, “I want to ask why President Tong Yifeng is not attending today’s board meeting?”
Her sudden change of topic lifted the awkward constraint, and Tong Yitian responded arrogantly, “My brother has become a vegetable. I’m handling his duties.”
“Oh, is that so?” She raised an eyebrow with a hint of anger, “What qualifies you to act as president? Just your silver tongue?”
“You…” Tong Yitian’s face darkened, “I am the vice president. With my brother gone, I naturally take over.”
“Vice president? If Tong Yifeng is not president, with your skills, you don’t even qualify to be a trader,” Ou Xueman’s sarcasm was clear, deliberately provoking Tong Yitian to expose his true nature.
The others present couldn’t understand the conversation but noticed Tong Yitian’s poor expression, raising doubts about Ou Xueman.
At this time, many shareholders began to hesitate, including those who originally supported Tong Yitian’s proposal.
“However, if no funds, we are not the future,” Tong Yitian quickly refuted. This echoed Ou Xueman’s concerns, creating uncertainty in her ability to persuade the board of directors.
