Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 283 - 282: Qiao Shenji Board members

"Dong-lang....." Ning Ning weakly said.

"Ning Ning," Shentu Dong held the frail woman in his arms, concern written on his face. She looked so thin and sickly. At this point, Shentu Dong’s heart was filled with guilt and regret.

"Dong-lang, I’m sorry.... I.... I shouldn’t have said those things to you that day.... I..." Then, she fainted.

"Ning Ning! Ning Ning!" At this moment, Shentu Dong felt great panick and regret. He shook her and called her name repeatedly.

"Mingye, call a doctor!"

"Uh!" Shentu Mingye quickly rushed to his house phone and dialed a number.

Shentu Dong carried Ning Ning back into the house and onto the couch. He held her in his arms, calling her name and even checking whether she was breathing or not. The doctor finally came after what felt like an eternity.

"Doctor, how is she?"

The doctor had a grave look on his face as he shook his head.

**********

In the Qiao Group.

Qiao Pulan strode into the building. She wasn’t used to everyone greeting her as chairwoman.

"Good morning, chairwoman!"

"Good morning!"

"Chairwoman!"

They bowed to her respectfully, smiling and acting friendly.

However she knew that on the surface that acted like they respected her, but deep down inside they were actually gossiping and saying bad things about her.

Qiao Pulan’s new assistant, Ting Ting was waiting for her in front of the lift. Ting Ting greeted her with a smile.

"Chairwoman, I’m your new assistant. Let me show you to your office,"

"Nice to meet you, Ting Ting," Pulan smiled.

Her office was a floor above Qiao Minde’s. She happened to pass his office and glanced at it casually. He wasn’t in.

"Where is the CEO?" She asked Ting Ting.

"Oh, the CEO usually doesn’t arrive that early. He has his own routine and schedule," Ting Ting replied as she silently checked out her new boss.

She heard everyone say that the new Chairwoman was inexperienced in business and had a useless husband. Everyone was making bets behind their superiors’ backs; will she get kicked out soon?

Ting Ting was arranged by Grandpa Qiao to assist Qiao Pulan. So naturally, she trusted the old man’s vision.

Qiao Pulan took a look at her new office. It was decorated with pink curtains and many potted plants.

Ting Ting was taken aback when she looked at the office. Who in the world changed the arrangement?

"Who decorated it?" She asked, eyeing the pink curtains with disdain. It was not that she hated pink, but this is a workplace, so everything must be serious with no distractions.

"I don’t know, chairwoman. It wasn’t like this yesterday!"

Pulan sighed. Then she called some people to take all those things away. She sat in the office and familiarize herself with the company.

"The CEO sent these over," a girl walked in and gave some files to Ting Ting.

Qiao Pulan nodded to the girl. In the company, she needed to learn how to carry herself so that she won’t be stepped upon. She didn’t want to let grandpa down. Later, a meeting was held.

All the directors greeted Qiao Pulan with enthusiasm. Her uncle, Qiao Tan was also part of the directors. He glanced at her with disdain and contempt.

The chairman position should have been his, yet it was given to a rotten girl like her! Qiao Tan felt aggrieved deep down.

He swore that he still never make it easy for her in the Qiao Group! Qiao Pulan, how dare you snatch my position? You’re just a weak woman! What can you do?!

"You didn’t hear? I heard that there will be a new member on the board of directors!"

"Really? Who is it?"

"The Qiao Group is really moving too fast!"

"Why hasn’t the CEO arrived yet?" One of the directors checked his watch.

Today, the CEO was taking longer than usual to arrive. But no one dared to speak up in his face. Qiao Minde’s cold and murderous aura was enough to suffocate them to death. So unless it was necessary, they don’t usually dare to question.

All the directors were present today. Qiao Pulan sat at the centre of the table. Qiao Pulan glanced at the empty seat of her half-brother.

"Here he comes!"

Qiao Pulan turned around. Qiao Minde strode into the room, an icy cloud dropped over them. He walked passed her like she was invisible and sat down at his seat. Everyone cleared their throats and sat up straight.

"Start," he said to one staff who was in charge of recording everything that happen in the the room. The staff nodded.

"Everyone, let’s welcome the new member to the board of directors," Qiao Minde said nonchalantly.

All the directors looked nervous and exchanged glances. A new member? Who is that? Will that person be on their side or against them?

"Qiao ShenJi!" Qiao Minde announced.

Qiao Pulan’s eyes widened and she unconsciously turned to look at the door. The door opened and a man dressed in a black suit walked in.

Qiao Tan was close to bitting his tongue off. How did they let that loser into the group!!!? What the fuck was Qiao Minde thinking?

Immediately, Qiao Tan stood up and questioned, "CEO Qiao, what is the meaning of this? How can he be accepted into the board of directors?"

"He has capabilities that far exceeds yours. Are you saying that he doesn’t have enough shares?" Qiao Minde replied without giving Qiao Tan a look.

"Shares?! From where?" Qiao Tan said, astonished and livid.

"From where? Where do you think?" Qiao Minde’s response wasn’t giving a definite answer. It only made Qiao Tan angrier.

"Qiao Minde, you!" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"This is the company. Behave yourself," Qiao Minde finally turned and looked at him. But that dark gaze in his eyes only reminded Qiao Tan of the time he threatened to break his finger.

Qiao Tan sat back down reluctantly while glaring at Pulan and ShenJi.

Qiao ShenJi sat opposite Pulan. The couple seemed to be communicating with their eyes even though no word was spoken.
