Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 751: Chapter 764: A Lamb at the Mercy of Others

President Guo mentioned the new shareholder was young, but he did not expect this new shareholder to look even younger than the Guo Family’s eldest daughter, dressed in a pink dress with bright and handsome features.

However, despite her young age, this young director exuded a sharpness that was not in line with her age.

Huo Shaohua directly brought An Ran to the rooftop meeting room, personally opened the door, and made a gesture of invitation.

As An Ran walked in, she saw that the meeting room was already full, with only two seats left.

At the moment Huo Shaohua opened the door and An Ran was seen, the entire meeting room fell silent, followed by whispers after a moment.

”Who is the girl beside Vice President Huo? Could she be Vice President Huo’s girlfriend?”

”What are you talking about? I heard the new major shareholder is just a young girl.”

”No way, how could President Guo hand over such a big company like the Wenshan Group to such a young girl? If he were to hand it over, it should be to the eldest daughter, right?”

”Who knows, maybe this girl is President Guo’s illegitimate daughter or something.”

”It shouldn’t be, don’t you know President Guo’s character? Although Mrs. Guo is rather headstrong and somewhat unreasonable, President Guo has always been loyal to her. The so-called ’wife of one’s youth must not be discarded.’ When have you ever seen President Guo involved in any disreputable dealings?”

...

An Ran did not pay attention to the gossip around her. Instead, her gaze fell on the head of the meeting table, the seat that should have belonged to the top shareholder, now occupied by a middle-aged man with a big belly.

On his left was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and two empty seats were to his right.

Huo Shaohua stood half a step behind An Ran’s side. An Ran didn’t move, and neither did he.

At this moment, the man with gold-rimmed glasses stood up and greeted her with a smile, ”This must be Mr. An. Hello, I am Sun Bo. I should have come out to greet you, but all the directors have just arrived, so I had Vice President Huo wait for you.”

One sentence revealed the hierarchy between the two vice presidents.

An Ran did not speak, her bright eyes fixed on the man at the head of the table. Her entire being exuded a lazy air, combined with her pink outfit, looking very much like the girl next door or...a little lamb to be slaughtered.

Seeing An Ran staring at the seat, Sun Bo quickly extended a hand and said, ”Please, Mr. An, take your seat. The meeting is about to begin.”

However, An Ran still stood at the door, arms crossed, a lazy demeanor accompanied by a slightly charming smile that didn’t reach her eyes, ”Vice President Sun, where exactly is this Mr. An supposed to sit?”

”Uh,” Sun Bo didn’t expect An Ran to be particular about the seating arrangement, but President Cui had taken that seat upon arrival, and everyone else tacitly accepted it.

”Of course, we have a seat reserved for Mr. An. Please, this way,” Sun Bo pointed to the position to the right of President Cui.

Interestingly, President Cui seemed to settle more firmly into his seat upon hearing An Ran bring up the seating issue, squinting his beady eyes with interest as he watched An Ran. The others also looked on as if watching a show.

Earlier, Huo Shaohua had introduced her to the other shareholders. Looking at the fat and big-eared man at the head of the table, An Ran guessed he must be the one who held the most shares among the remaining shareholders.

”Vice President Sun, you must be mistaken, right? Although I am young and don’t understand many things, I do understand the basic rules,” An Ran said, extending her fair hand and pointing at President Cui’s seat, ”This elderly gentleman here is sitting in the wrong seat. Isn’t it inappropriate for President Sun not to help remind him?”
