”Oh…” Ning Xueluo put on a surprised expression. ”Father called her, but her manager said sheʼs busy, I thought if Aunt called, she would surely come…”

Zhuang Lingyu smiled. ”That girlʼs busy crawling her way up. Sheʼll forget about the Ning family very soon!”

Ning Qiutong looked at her coldly. ”Iʼm happy that Xiao Xi is doing well on her own. Who wouldnʼt tell me that my niece is pretty and capable wherever I go? Every day, so many people come to me and ask for her autograph, or even to visit her at work!”

Ning Xueluoʼs expression tightened as her fingernails dug deep into her palm. Zhuang Lingyu hid her anger. Ning Qiutong had been on her toes, and every time she aimed, it hit wherever it hurt the most.

She knew that Xueluo had left the entertainment industry and she was saying all these to trigger her!

”Alright, letʼs eat!” The elder coughed lightly and the heavy atmosphere dissipated forcefully.

”Wenbo, how long are you going to stay for this time?” The elder made some small talk.

Guo Wenbo put his chopsticks down and replied gently, ”Not for long. Iʼm mainly here to meet a client and to settle some matters for Qiutong.”

Settle some matters?

Ning Yaohua squinted his eyes sensitively.

As expected, Ning Qiutong spoke up, ”Isnʼt Chen from the financial department going to retire soon? Weʼll need a person to fill in the CFO role. Iʼve asked Wenbo to help hire a person from abroad!”

Before Ning Yaohua could say anything, Zhuang Lingyu could not hold it in anymore. ”Hire? Youʼre just putting your people inside, arenʼt you?! Yaohua has already left the position of CFO to Xueluo. She can fill the position after a short probation period, so you donʼt have to worry too much!”

Ning Qiutong replied, ”Iʼm worrying too much? Donʼt you forget, Sister-in-law, while I donʼt have a position in the company, Iʼm the largest stakeholder of the company.”

Ning Xueluo had not gotten any shares. Even after Ning Yaohua transferred all his shares over to her, she only held 15% of shares.

As for Ning Qiutong, she had 10% on her own, and with the addition of the 10% Ning Xi had given her, she had 20% of shares in total, making her the largest stakeholder of the company at the moment.

Zhuang Lingyu was antsy. ”You donʼt have that authority to make that decision on your own! You donʼt get to put your people into such an important position of the company!”

Ning Qiutong raised her eyebrows. ”Oh? So, you do have someone?”

Zhuang Lingyu replied in disdain, ”Xueluoʼs not an outsider!”

She meant to imply that Ning Qiutong was just an outsider.

Ning Qiutong laughed out loud. ”Ha... Sister-in-law, are you joking? Who else is an outsider here except for her?”

”Ning Qiutong! Thatʼs too much!”

Ning Yaohuaʼs expression darkened. ”Qiutong, youʼve overstepped your boundaries. Yes, you have the most shares, but Iʼm the President. You donʼt get to decide the human resources in the company!”

Ning Qiutong sternly retorted, ”I see, President. What a fancy title! A president without any shares? Let me tell you, I have the right to put Ning Xi in that position if sheʼs willing to! Try me if you donʼt believe me!”
