In the fear that it would cause a misunderstanding, Xia Zhiwan hurriedly broke free from him. She then coughed lightly and rushed toward the meeting room.

Seeing her careless appearance, the board of directors’ impression of this disreputable young girl, who was serving as the general manager, became worse.

Xia Zhiya, who had been waiting for a long time, took the chance to shout at her. “Looks like the general manager is such a big deal! You’ve made so many board members and shareholders wait for you! Don’t you feel ashamed?!”

She observed Xia Zhiwan and caught a hickey on her neck. She also realized Xia Zhiwan’s tired look and sneered secretly.

It seemed like her sister had been tortured roughly in bed last night.

Soon, a silver-haired man with a strong aura appeared at the door casually. Everyone, who was previously sitting down, immediately stood up to greet him. This included the president, Xia Dengfeng.

“Good day, chairman!”

Xia Zhiya was stunned, and she swallowed back the words she wanted to say to scold Xia Zhiwan.

Not only was she stunned because of his delicate, handsome look but also because of his high position.

Xia Zhiwan glanced at the man behind her and was surprised to see that even the high-level board members were afraid of Issac. It was a waste for Xia Zhiya to not continue her act.

The thought about her miserable situation Xia Zhiya put her through the night before enraged Xia Zhiwan.

“Xia Zhiya, doesn’t your demeanor make you seem more like a chairman instead of a deputy manager? No matter my age or position, I’m still on a higher level than you. However, you’re treating this as your turf and scolding me in front of these elders and shareholders. Isn’t it you who’s acting like a big deal here?”

Issac smiled and cooperated with Xia Zhiwan. He took several steps with his long legs and sat on the main seat while looking at Xia Zhiya coldly.

“Like what the general manager said1, there are many board members and shareholders here, since when is it your turn to criticize?”

“She came with me, so do you have any comments about that?”

“I arrived here later than her, making me the last one to arrive, so it looks like I should be criticized by the deputy manager as well.”

The chairman rarely spoke that much at once. Xia Zhiya’s expression became worse with every sentence he said.

“Xia Zhiwan, do you dare to tell everyone what you did last night?!” Naturally, Xia Zhiya did not dare to argue with Issac, so she turned around and questioned Xia Zhiwan. She deliberately changed the topic and looked forward to seeing Xia Zhiwan’s expression.

It was a pity that Xia Zhiwan only smiled calmly. “Of course, I went to discuss business matters for the company. However, I indeed met some trouble. Why does it seem like you already knew about it? Let me guess, could it be that you’re the mastermind behind it?”

Xia Zhiya’s expressions stiffened as she almost exposed herself. “How is that possible? I just think that someone might be out flirting around. How can you blame it on me again? However, I heard that you took the initiative to offer your body last night to also gain a foothold in the Louis Financial Group!”

Once Issac thought about the men surrounding Xia Zhiwan like flies, he frowned. “I can testify that Zhiwan was with me last night.”

What he said was right, but some embarrassing things indeed happened when they were together last night… Xia Zhiwan lowered her head quietly.

Xia Zhiya was stunned. Could it be that the director did not take her away last night? Why did the chairman keep standing up for her?

Xia Dengfeng immediately stepped forward to calm the situation and scolded his younger daughter.

“Lil Ya! Hurry up and apologize to the chairman! Remember your position next time. Don’t talk about things without any evidence! Zhiwan is your elder sister, so can you stop spouting nonsense?!”

Xia Zhiya nodded continuously and smiled with a pale face. “My apologies, chairman. I don’t mean anything bad. Zhiwan is my elder sister, so it’s all just a reminder for her own good.”

Issac did not even bat an eye at her and just ignored her. He then asked casually, “What’s the topic of today’s meeting?”

Xia Zhiya held in her anger and gritted her teeth. She did not dare to show any dissatisfaction toward him and just took out a USB as if nothing happened.

“Today, I want to let everyone watch a video, so everyone can have another chance to discuss the company’s personnel changes. Otherwise, some people who aren’t supposed to take up a position will tarnish the company’s reputation!”

Naturally, Xia Zhiya’s words aroused everyone’s interest.

After all, the people present were either shareholders, investors, or high-positioned people in the management. Thus, all of them cared a lot about the company’s reputation.

Xia Zhiya played a video before everyone’s eyes. It was a video filled with a man and a woman’s moans and sounds of their bodies rubbing against each other as they had a good time. Everyone could not help but widen their eyes.

Xia Zhiya tried to hold back her gleeful expression. However, when she turned around and saw the naked man and woman on the screen, she was utterly shocked.

What happened? The video should be about the director and Xia Zhiwan having an affair, right?

Why? Why was it the video of her having an affair with He Tianhao? Who on Earth filmed it? Who was the one who fiddled with the video?!
