It just so happened that Liu Yun had arrived in Magic City the day before yesterday.
After making a phone call to her, she indicated that she could meet at any time.
Soon, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo met Liu Yun at a private club.
She greeted them with a smile, “How come you two divine beings decided to seek me out?”
Jiang Xu, with little expression on his face, replied, “Sis, I want to ask you about Li Yan, what’s the relationship between you two?”
An Nuonuo’s little face was also tensely drawn.
“Hmm?” Liu Yun was somewhat puzzled.
Having known Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo for so long, it was the first time she had seen them with such serious expressions.
Without much time to think, after inviting them to sit down and carefully considering her words, she began to speak:
“On the surface, Li Yan seems harmless, but in reality, he’s very cunning.
He has always coveted my position and launched multiple attacks, but they have all failed.
However, I know he has never given up and has secretly rallied a group of people over the years.
Oh right, there’s another issue between us.
It’s about the time he wanted his just-turned-eighteen-year-old daughter to become the global spokesperson for Century Jewelry.
Initially, many people supported him, but then I met Nuonuo, and his daughter ended up not being chosen.
Because of that reason, our relationship was very tense for a while. Wait a second…”
Realizing something, Liu Yun’s expression suddenly turned grave, “Are you by any chance suspecting that Li Yan was behind Nuonuo’s incident last time?”
Having heard Liu Yun’s explanation, Jiang Xu understood.
It was still about interests, after all.
Without saying much more, he played the recording for Liu Yun.
“Smack!”
After listening, Liu Yun slammed the table, her anger making the large earrings on her delicate ears tremble, “Li Yan has really gone mad, that heartless lunatic, to dare do such a thing!”
One thing that outraged her was someone wanting to harm An Nuonuo; this affected her interests.
The other was that the exposure of this affair would deal a devastating blow to the entire brand.
After all, if a company’s executive is a heartless lunatic and a ruthless person, how many customers would still be willing to buy their products?
Liu Yun was now both afraid and angry.
It was only after drinking several glasses of water that she managed to calm herself somewhat,
but her voice still trembled as she pleaded with Jiang Xu, “I’ll give you a satisfactory response to this matter, please don’t publicize it, can you?”
Jiang Xu replied indifferently, “I have only one demand, I want to see him dead in front of me.”
His tone was unequivocal.
Liu Yun: “Alright, I will satisfy your condition. Please wait, I need to make some calls.”
With that, she rose and began making calls by the window.
Jiang Xu held An Nuonuo’s delicate hand, “This is like a wedding gift prepared by the heavens for us before our engagement.”
But An Nuonuo was not particularly uplifted.
Jiang Xu understood her feelings.
To be framed like this despite having done no wrong was indeed distressing.
“Must it be his life?” An Nuonuo clasped Jiang Xu’s hand, “We can’t do something illegal.”
She had already lost much of her feelings about the previous incident,
and was just worried about Jiang Xu getting dragged into it.
Jiang Xu pulled her into his embrace, “Don’t worry, I won’t do it myself.”
After a while, Liu Yun came back and said, “Originally, all the shareholders of Century Jewelry were to convene tomorrow in Magic City for the annual stockholders’ meeting.
Everyone has arrived, so you two will come with me tomorrow.”
The next day, escorted by numerous bodyguards, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo arrived at the tallest hotel in Magic City.
The annual shareholder meeting of Century Jewelry is held every year, and the location varies.
This year, it happened to choose Magic City.
Perhaps it was fate that had arranged everything.
Century Jewelry had dozens of shareholders.
But only about ten were eligible to attend the shareholders’ meeting.
Among them was Li Yan.
Liu Yun sat in the main seat, while Li Yan sat on her right side.
Li Yan had a gentle smile on his face, but inside he was seething with jealousy.
He had more experience than Liu Yun and was older, believing his abilities to be far superior.
Yet he was constantly overshadowed by Liu Yun.
On the surface he appeared calm and collected, but deep down his psyche was already twisted.
As usual, Liu Yun gave the annual report at the shareholders’ meeting.
The company’s performance had steadily grown, and smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.
But Liu Yun’s face was stern,”This year’s good performance is mainly due to signing Miss An Nuonuo as our global spokeswoman.
She fits perfectly with our high-end products, you could say they complement each other.”
“That’s true,” Li Yan was the first to speak, clapping his hands,”Inviting her to endorse us was a very wise decision.”
Liu Yun felt like throwing up when she heard this.
If she didn’t know the truth, she would have been deceived by this man.
Another shareholder said with a smile,”Where are you planning to go on a cruise this year?”
After every shareholders’ meeting, they would go on a company-paid vacation for half a month.
They would invite various stars, both male and female.
A large group of people having fun on a ship.
That was a true den of iniquity.
The high-end crowd often indulged in the simplest forms of entertainment.
“No rush,” Liu Yun’s gaze fell on Li Yan, her tone cold,”Aside from today’s meeting, there’s something I would like to ask President Li about.”
Li Yan was startled, then chuckled,”Just ask whatever you want, no need to be so serious.”
Liu Yun said expressionlessly,”! would like to ask President Li why he ordered someone to assassinate An Nuonuo?”
“What?” Li Yan was stunned,”What are you joking about? I have no grudges against her; she brings me profits, why would I do such a thing?”
Liu Yun thought, indeed he was a sly fox.
He had not shown a single flaw on the surface.
The other shareholders were shocked by her words and then began to speak one after another.
“There must be some mistake.”
“President Li doesn’t look like someone who would do such a thing.”
“Exactly, there must be a misunderstanding.”
Because Li Yan had always presented himself well in front of these shareholders.
So when Liu Yun made this accusation, no one believed her.
With a slap, Liu Yun put a voice recorder on the table,”Listen for yourselves.”
“I’ll give you five million in cash, plus an opportunity to go abroad to get rid of An Nuonuo.”
“Her status is extraordinary, how did she provoke you?”
“You don’t need to worry about that, here’s her information.”
“Five million isn’t enough, add another three million.”
“Deal.”
After the short recording was played, everyone’s faces changed, except for Li Yan.
Li Yan calmly said,”It’s easy to fake my voice, this proves nothing.”
