A collective thought went through Zhang Tiantian and the others' minds.
Immediately, everyone checked their appearance and demeanor once more at the fastest pace possible.
Then, they sat up straight, ready for anything –
The men, chests puffed out!
The women… also puffed out their chests!
The next second.
Su Weiwei glided in, exuding a faint floral scent, and appeared in the conference room.
*Clap, clap, clap!*
Warm applause erupted from below, continuing for a long time.
A moment later, Su Weiwei raised her right hand in a placating gesture, and the applause abruptly stopped.
"I am Su Weiwei."
"I hold the position of Director of General Administration for the Bai Corporation."
"Today is a momentous occasion for the opening of the Bai Corporation. Everyone present is a pillar of this company, and I am delighted to meet you all here."
"In the days to come, I hope to work diligently with all of you to create a bright future for the Bai Corporation!"
"Next, please welcome the President of the Bai Corporation!"
Having said this, Su Weiwei stepped aside, her hands clasped in front of her.
*Clap, clap, clap!*
Applause immediately filled the conference room.
It roared like thunder, and flowed like a waterfall, unabated!
Until.
A faint sound of footsteps echoed from the corridor outside.
Everyone waited with bated breath.
The Bai Corporation had risen in a remarkably short time, but its methods were swift and decisive, its scale and momentum unprecedented!
All these undoubtedly proved what an extraordinary figure the President of the Bai Corporation was.
In fact, for days,
They had pondered daily who the mastermind behind the Bai Corporation truly was.
A powerful family from the provincial capital?
Or, a formidable individual with connections to a high-ranking official?
Or, perhaps, to be more daring – a scion from a prominent family descending from the capital for experience?
Yet, no matter how they thought about it, tossing and turning in bed, they could not come up with an answer.
Now, the answer was about to be revealed.
Inside the conference room.
Everyone held their breath, cautious and expectant.
Their eyes, dry and stinging from being held open for so long, persevered without a single blink!
Suddenly.
A slightly portly, obese figure entered the conference room.
Everyone was utterly dumbfounded, their eyeballs nearly popping out.
This person…
His physique was plump and corpulent.
His attire was rustic.
His demeanor was meek and submissive.
His appearance, best left unjudged.
In every aspect, no one could associate him with the President of the Bai Corporation.
Or rather…
He looked more like a chubby, unfashionable bumpkin!
He, he, how could he be the President of the Bai Corporation?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
There must be a mistake!
The person entering was none other than Chen Peng!
After the initial shock.
Some began to whisper among themselves, discussing the situation.
Others cast questioning glances at Su Weiwei, their silent inquiries evident.
As for Zhang Tiantian and the others.
They recognized Chen Peng at first sight.
After their initial bewilderment, boundless anger surged!
How dare a person like Chen Peng be in such a place, sitting with them?
Zhang Tiantian stood up, her face flushed with anger, and unleashed a barrage of insults: "Chen Peng, you utter scoundrel, this is the headquarters conference room, what are you doing here?"
Tan Jun stood up, pointing at his nose, and yelled: "Chen Peng, what is your status, and what is our position?"
"This is not a place you should be, nor can you be!"
"Get out immediately!"
Yang Kai sneered repeatedly, questioning: "We here are all elites, the pillars of the company!"
"Who gave you the courage to enter?"
"It was me!"
Chen Peng remained silent, but a cold voice, faintly familiar, echoed from outside.
The next moment, Bai Zihe walked into the conference room.
He scanned Zhang Tiantian and the others with a cold gaze:
"I allowed Chen Peng to enter!"
Bai Zihe?
Zhang Tiantian and the others were stunned at first, then burst into laughter, tears streaming down their faces.
"Bai Zihe!"
Zhang Tiantian, clutching her stomach, pointed at Bai Zihe with utter disdain: "What are you, anyway? Does it concern you to speak in the headquarters conference room of the Bai Corporation?"
"Exactly!"
Tan Jun could not help but retort with ridicule: "You, a stray dog, why don't you go wag your tail by the roadside and beg for food, why must you come here to embarrass yourself!"
"Or perhaps, you think…"
"There are more rich people here, so the chances of getting food are higher?"
Yang Kai was about to add his two cents when he noticed Su Weiwei's expression had turned decidedly grim and ice-cold.
He was taken aback for half a second, then an idea struck him.
He understood!
It must have been Bai Zihe's appearance that disrupted the order of the conference room, hence Director Su was very angry.
The best solution then would be—
To quickly escort Bai Zihe and Chen Peng out, lest the President, who was about to arrive, see them and form a negative impression!
With this realization, Yang Kai, eager to impress, immediately stood up and shouted: "Security!"
"Security, where is security?"
"Come and throw these two out!"
It was an important occasion today.
The security guards were well-prepared.
Hearing Yang Kai's shouts, a large group of them arrived promptly.
Seeing the opportunity for credit, Yang Kai pointed at Bai Zihe and Chen Peng: "Quick, drag these two out, the President will be here any moment."
Upon hearing this, the security guards thought, this is unacceptable!
They immediately stepped forward, preparing to push the two out.
"Hold on!"
Su Weiwei's icy command made everyone freeze.
The security guards also turned their attention to Su Weiwei.
They did not recognize the President, but they knew Su Weiwei, the Director of General Administration.
Su Weiwei's pretty face was as cold as frost, and she rebuked: "He is the President of the Bai Corporation, Bai Zihe!"
