The shareholders who had stood up with Fourth Master Qin and voiced their frustrations suddenly went silent.
The meeting room quietened down.
Some of them knew Qin Ran while others didn't, but all of them watched as the girl walked in slowly.
Her dark eyes scanned the room.
"Miss, you're here." Butler Qin was about to call Cheng Mu to ask if he'd got him in trouble. But upon seeing Qin Ran, he pulled a chair out for her.
Ah Wen, standing beside him, finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Qin Xiuchen had maintained his calm demeanor the entire time.
He now stood up and turned towards the shareholders sitting around the meeting table. "This is Xiao Ling's sister, Qin Ran. She's also the candidate who will be standing in his place."
With that, muffled discussions commenced in the previously quiet room.
