"Please wait!" Ye Chenxi spoke up to the host, "Can we pause for half an hour?"
The host has never made things difficult for shareholders and directors. As long as they make reasonable requests, he will not refuse.
The host nodded, "Everyone needs a break, or wants to re-evaluate the candidates. Feel free to speak up."
During the intermission, everyone gathered with their own alliances to discuss.
Ye Chenxi came to Ye Fei and respectfully called out, "Sister."
Ye Fei slightly nodded her head, "Mmm."
It was still the familiar cold tone. Although he had been treated this way many times, Ye Chenxi still could not get used to it.
He tried hard to restrain his fear of his sister, and asked, "Sister, who did you come here for?"
Ye Fei asked, "What? Do you have someone you want to support?"
Ye Chenxi said, "I just came to see Qin Zhao make a fool of herself. As long as she is not the winner in the end, I'm fine with it."
Last time, he had voted for Li Shuyun, thinking he could use Li Shuyun to suppress Qin Zhao.
But his plan backfired and ended up helping Nan Yue instead!
Although he did not hate Nan Yue as much as he hated Qin Zhao, as her ex-boyfriend who got dumped, he still did not wish Nan Yue well!
So he was secretly irritated.
The only thing that could help him vent out all his pent-up frustrations was Qin Zhao's failure.
He had been secretly observing Qin Zhao and the two people around her.
Qin Zhao did not show much emotion, but those two were clearly eager for her victory!
This could also indirectly reflect Qin Zhao's attitude towards this matter.
And whatever Qin Zhao wanted, he would ruin!
Ye Fei smiled and asked, "You have some unresolved grievances with her?"
This was the first time Ye Chenxi had seen his sister smile up close. For a moment, he was at a loss.
In a daze, he thought Ye Fei was caring about him.
Facing his sister's tenderness, the grievances in his heart spread.
If he didn't have to maintain his image as a strong man, he might have cried in front of Ye Fei right there.
Ye Chenxi pointed at his truncated leg and said, "This leg that got chopped off was thanks to Qin Zhao!
Not only that, her girlfriend Nan Yue is my ex-girlfriend. She snatched Nan Yue away from me!
Sister, I'll tell you straight, I have suffered a lot at her hands.
Please, sister, for our sibling relationship, help me!"
"You are a grown man.
Having to ask your sister to stand up for you when bullied by others."
Although the words were accusing, Ye Chenxi was overjoyed to hear them!
In the past, Ye Fei had always found him annoying. Her every sentence to him did not exceed ten words!
1, 2, 3, 4...
Ye Chenxi excitedly counted how many words Ye Fei had just spoken - 23 words!
He was so happy that his voice trembled. "Sister, I understand. I will work hard and never let anyone bully me again!"
Ye Fei: "Mmm, you can go back now."
With an elated heart, Ye Chenxi endured the urge to skip back to his seat in his wheelchair.
When he passed Qin Zhao, Ye Chenxi stopped. His right hand twitched.
Ye Chenxi said, "You..."
"Fart if you got gas."
Ye Chenxi: "......"
He closed his eyes, clenching his jaws as they shifted unsteadily, seemingly enduring extreme pain.
After a long pause, Ye Chenxi said word for word, "Qin Zhao, you are going to lose for sure!"
At the same time, he raised his right hand. Before he could flip her off, Qin Zhao grabbed his forearm...
A wretched scream echoed in the conference room, lingering in everyone's ears!
Ye Chenxi howled in anguish, "Let me go! Qin Zhao! You're about to break my hand off!"
Qin Zhao exerted more force until she heard a satisfying crack, then she let go.
Ye Chenxi was drenched in cold sweat from the pain. He didn't even dare to look at Qin Zhao again before quickly wheeling away!
Everyone averted their horrified gazes, cursing Qin Zhao's cruelty in their hearts while making a mental note to never provoke that woman!
The mid-session break ended and it was time to announce the voting results:
Chen Zhan's vote rate: 9%
Li Sheng's vote rate: 13%
Nan Yue's vote rate: 36%
Qin Zhao's vote rate: 37%
After a brief silence, the conference room erupted into heated arguments!
"These results must be rigged! Not a single one of us veterans voted for Qin Zhao, how could she possibly have gotten so many votes?!"
"Right, besides, how can we let an outsider become the chairwoman of Nan Group?!"
"Simply preposterous!"
Amidst the clamor, a clear and melodious female voice cut through: "I voted for Qin Zhao."
All eyes turned to the speaker - Ye Fei met their gazes calmly.
Ye Chenxi had bloodshot eyes, unsure if it was grievance or anger. He questioned, "Sister, you said you'd help me! Why did you go back on your word?!"
Ye Fei indifferently replied, "Which ear of yours heard me say I'd help you?
Cut it off and send it to the hospital to see if there's something wrong with it."
"Sister..."
Ye Chenxi could no longer hold back his tears as they streamed down his face like floodgates opening, "How could you trick me?"
Xu Yiyang disgustedly took out some napkins and helped wipe Ye Chenxi's tears. Suddenly he cried out, "Oh no, your snot got on my hand!"
Everyone: "......"
Reflexively, Ye Chenxi sniffed loudly, letting out a honk...
"Pffft, hahahahaha!"
Xu Yiyang's laughter almost deafened Ye Chenxi's ears!
After laughing for a bit, Xu Yiyang met Ye Chenxi's resentful gaze and struggled to stop.
He patted Ye Chenxi on the shoulder and said, "Don't panic, bro. Watch how I get back at them for you!"
Only then did Ye Chenxi recall their backup plan. He wiped his tears and waited quietly for Xu Yiyang's performance.
After Ye Fei spoke, someone questioned, "Who are you? What right do you have to decide the chairwoman of the group?"
Although Ye Fei was the heiress of Ding Sheng Group, she kept a low profile and rarely attended events. It was normal for top figures in Yun Cheng business circles to not recognize her.
Clearly, Ye Fei had no intention of answering him. The man felt rather awkward but persisted in his questioning.
Before things got out of hand, the host stepped in, "Every person who enters the Board of Directors must first submit documents and get approved before qualifying to participate.
According to the documents I received, Miss Ye Fei's shareholding ratio is 22% - the highest among everyone present!"
With that said, no one else questioned her again!
