In the end, no conclusion was made from the board of directors meeting. Hence, they adjourned it to three days later.

In other words, Nan Chen got three extra days to tackle the problem. Should the issue still persist after the given time frame, the board would call for another round of discussion.

If the matter went out of hand, someone would be scapegoated, and it was most likely Nan Chen.

Otherwise, another top-level management staff would be made the victim.

When Nan Chen returned to his office, Ning Ran dared not say a single word. She sat quietly with her head hung low, knowing her rash behavior must have embarrassed Nan Chen.

Yet, she had no regrets.

Although she reacted impulsively and blurted those words which were deemed rude and inappropriate, she spoke nothing but the truth. It was exactly what she had in mind to express herself clearly. To her, she did not spout any nonsense.

She might have been too straightforward, but she felt she was on point.

Nan Chen ignored her and continued working on his laptop. Perplexed, Ning Ran had no clue what he was thinking.

After suppressing her curiosity for a while, she gave up. “I know I'm an uncouth person, lacking in polish and grace, but I couldn't stand how they ganged up on you and gave you a hard time!”

Standing, she continued, “Who do they think they are? You always work so hard, which benefits them with lucrative dividends, but have they ever thanked you for that? Now that a small issue has cropped up, they want to put the blame on you entirely? I can't even bring myself to do that to anyone. Yet, those shameless old chaps made it sound like it was the right thing to do. The audacity!”

Hearing so, Nan Chen lifted his head and glanced at her. “You're swearing again?”

“No, I'm not. That's just an expression. It's only counted as swearing if you hear me say 'you *sshole'!”
