Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 928: Encountering a Rival in Love (Part 1)
Ji Anning didn’t understand what Fenfen meant, looked towards the door in confusion, Yang Yufang had already left and closed the door.
In her mind, the image of Yang Yufang’s lonely back flashed, and she immediately interrupted her thoughts, stopping herself from thinking further.
She smiled and handed the peeled apple to Fenfen, "Shall we call Dad?"
Ji Anning reached for the phone and entered Ji Chicheng’s number, Fenfen leaned in close, staring at the phone screen.
She quickly turned the phone over and said to Fenfen, "Fenfen’s eyes aren’t well yet, you can’t look at the phone, Mommy will plug in the earphones so Fenfen can talk to Dad."
...
"Your image is too terrible, not suitable for intervening in company matters."
"We, the old board members, all think so."
"We unanimously support recommending Ming Yue."
"..."
In the highest-level meeting room of J.C, the lights illuminated every corner brightly, with a rectangular conference table and chairs with hollow legs design.
Ji Mingyue sat in the central position, Ji Chicheng beside her.
Listening to the old board members criticize and denounce his character, values, and morals, like a trial meeting.
He looked composed, lazily leaning on the back of the chair, not interrupting, not refuting, not angry, not sad.
As if they were not talking about him.
Everyone spoke one after another, using an elder’s tone.
Once they quieted down, Ma Wenzhang, who held the most shares, slowly spoke, "Although we are just minority shareholders, we were all with the old Ji when he built the company, we have the right to speak on company matters."
He looked solemnly at Ji Chicheng and stated righteously, "Until your relationship with Ji Anning is clarified, we all hope you will not interfere in any company affairs."
"Lastly, as an old friend of your father, I still must remind you, a person is watched by others, it’s better to refrain from acts against ethics and morals."
As Ma Wenzhang finished, others immediately nodded in agreement with his words.
Receiving the other shareholders’ support, Ma Wenzhang’s lips curled with satisfaction, sincerely hoping for the company’s wellbeing was one thing, disliking Ji Chicheng was another.
He already had reservations towards Ji Chicheng due to his near engagement with Yang Danning, and after Ji Chicheng stole Ma family’s thunder at his son’s wedding, he harbored even more hostility.
With such a good opportunity to suppress him, he certainly wouldn’t let it go.
Once everyone nodded and quieted down, Ji Chicheng lazily nodded.
With a ’Hmm’, he raised his head, swept a casual glance at everyone present, then slowly said, "I agree with everything you’ve said."
Illusion, it must be an illusion.
Such a good-natured, agreeable Ji Chicheng could only appear in illusions.
Even Ji Mingyue didn’t believe Ji Chicheng was genuinely humble and receptive to advice.
Ha, agree?
Not to mention other things, could he even agree with public opinions about him and Ji Anning, acknowledging his mistake?
No one would believe it!
"But..."
As expected, the follow-up came.
Ji Chicheng elongated the syllable, hanging everyone’s curiosity before leisurely saying, "After all, our country has freedom of speech and thought, I can’t control your speech and thoughts, doing so would be against the law."
