At ten the next morning, Ouyang Li was back in the CEO's office, heaving a long sigh of relief.

The Special Board Meeting that was supposed to be held at nine had been canceled due to the absence of four directors.

That was nothing less than a pleasant surprise for Ouyang Li. Had the board meeting really been convened, she would have had to brave the risk of being forced to step down as the acting CEO.

Even though she had heeded Feng Jialing's advice to appoint Ouyang Qi to temporarily assume the position of CEO, she would still have to get the nod from that bunch of old geezers from the board of directors.

Judging from the current circumstances, she knew very well that those directors must be waiting to drive the Ouyang family out of the company. Hence, the chances of her suggestion getting approved would be extremely slim.

Since the meeting was no more, the matter was put on hold once again. Because of that, Ouyang Li could at least take a breather.

Right then, her assistant stepped inside and informed her that a man who went by the last name “Qiao” had requested a meeting with her.

“Does he have an appointment?”

“No,” was the assistant's only answer.

“Then why would I be meeting him? Is this your first day at work? Didn't you already know the procedures?” bellowed Ouyang Li.

She was in a bad mood.

The assistant panicked. “But he said that he was the reason that the board meeting today got called off. I thought this might be important, so I reported—”

Ouyang Li's heart sank as she heard those words. “He said that?”

The assistant nodded.

“Let him in.”

With that towering figure of his, Qiao Zhan entered Ouyang Li's office and scrutinized the surroundings. This office is way too shabby compared to that of Sir Chen.

He then landed his gaze on Ouyang Li in her seat. Ouyang Qing has such good looks, so why does this woman look poles apart from her sister? Could she not be the biological daughter of the Ouyang family?

Then came Ouyang Li's question. “Who are you?”

“I'm Qiao Zhan, the head of security at Nanshi Corporation.” Qiao Zhan puffed up his chest as he spoke.

“What does a head of security want with me?”

“I want you to buy me a meal,” the man asserted.

“What?”

At that, Qiao Zhan slowly articulated each and every word. “I said I want you to buy me a meal.”

“Are we even that close? Why must I buy you anything at all?” scoffed Ouyang Li coldly, wearing a disdainful mien.
