Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 242 The Cannon Fodder Sister of the Heroine Running Away with the Ball

Su Lan's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She nodded, agreeing with her aunt's guess.

At this time, my uncle still maintained a calm demeanor and continued to make tea, but the sweat on his forehead betrayed his inner nervousness.

"That's right, aunt, that person is my sister. But don't worry, that man will be responsible for my sister." Su Lan tried to comfort her aunt and explained.

"That's good, I hope so. But you still have to persuade her more and not let a man cheat her of both her heart and her money." My aunt advised with concern.

"Yes, I know, aunt. You don't have to worry. Cheng Yanwen is a rich man, exactly the type you want. And, you saw the news saying he's broken off the engagement with his fiancée. So, after five years of waiting, it's finally come to fruition. It's all worth it."

"Hey, let's not talk about my sister anymore. Does my cousin have a boyfriend?"

Su Lan patted the back of her aunt's hand and used her cousin to change the subject, but her eyes were always observing her uncle. If there was anything wrong with him, she would take action.

Fortunately, her uncle's ability to accept things was much better than before. He didn't ask for details, but only asked about the two sisters' lives with concern. Su Lan picked out some interesting things about their time abroad and told him again and again, and repeatedly assured her that they had no worries in life, which made her uncle feel relieved.

As they were talking, cousin Qi Miao came back, and Su Lan offered to go into the kitchen to help her aunt prepare dinner.

Auntie was pleased to see Su Lan being well-behaved and sensible, but she couldn't help but nag, "Alan, I know you're a filial child, unlike that ungrateful Su Tang who only knows how to anger your uncle..."

"But don't spoil your sister too much. It's a shame that she quit such a good job."

Facing her aunt's nagging, Su Lan did not feel annoyed, but responded with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know aunt is doing this for my own good." After that, she placed the washed vegetables in front of her aunt, and then asked softly: "Uncle and aunt are retired now, so how about we go on a family trip abroad together in the future?"

Hearing this, my aunt's face showed a look of surprise: "Really? When your uncle was young, he always said he would take me abroad to play, but now that you are old enough to get married, he still hasn't realized it."

Although her aunt kept nagging, her hands never stopped working. In less than half an hour, she had prepared a table full of delicious dishes, including six hot dishes and a hot soup. The family sat around the table, happily enjoying this delicious dinner. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Su Lan also fully immersed herself in it, feeling no sense of alienation or discomfort.

After dinner, my aunt warmly invited Su Lan to stay in her old room, but Su Lan politely declined her aunt's kindness, saying that she had just moved back home and needed to go back and tidy up the rented house. Hearing Su Lan's words, my uncle and aunt no longer forced her and respected her decision.

Two days later, at the Cheng Group's board meeting, all the directors had their own plans, their eyes fixed on the chairman's throne at the top, secretly calculating whether they or their sons could successfully take over once Cheng Yanwen stepped down.

Cheng Yanwen, always full of confidence, deliberately chose to be late, hoping to give everyone present a warning. However, when he walked into the meeting room, he found that no one stood up to greet him. Instead, everyone had a cold face.

There were even anxious directors who couldn't wait to ask him directly how he planned to deal with the serious crisis the company was currently facing.

"Yanwen, your uncle is not forcing you to do this. Just take a good look at the group's stock price these past few days. It's almost hitting the limit down! How much money have we lost? And those projects were stopped without any reason, and the company has lost hundreds of millions again!" The person who spoke was Cheng Yanwen's uncle, and his tone was full of anxiety and dissatisfaction.

"Yes, Uncle Gong is absolutely right! We started this company with your father to make money, not to play house with you or change wives! We can't just watch the company's interests suffer!" Another shareholder immediately echoed.

"Or... Yanwen, you should go and beg Miss Shen to revive the engagement. When it comes to interests, there's no such thing as love or not. As long as you can save the situation, even if you have to send your woman abroad, Miss Shen will be relieved." Cheng Yanwen's aunt couldn't help but interrupt.

Cheng Yanwen sat in the conference room, his face gloomy, his hands clenched into fists, trying hard to suppress his inner anger. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "My elders, my fellow directors, this company belongs to us all. I will definitely find a way to revive it and will not let it fall. However, Shen Mengyao is no longer worthy of being my wife. This matter is not negotiable."

"Hmph, you are quite stubborn. So tell me, how do you plan to solve the current problem? You can't just rely on your mouth, right?" Uncle San asked with a sneer.

Cheng Yanwen looked at everyone with a determined gaze and answered word by word, "Give me two months, and I will prove to you that I, Cheng Yanwen, can restore the company to its former strength without relying on marriage. If I fail to do so by then, I will resign from the company on my own initiative without you having to tell me. But before that, please trust me once."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the meeting room without looking back, leaving the shareholders and directors looking at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to do.

"Hmph, let's just watch the show!" someone said sarcastically.

"When the time comes, everyone will have to compete for that position based on their own abilities!" another person echoed.

"Oh, you and your good-for-nothing son are not even as good as Yanwen!" someone else sarcastically said.

For a moment, the conference room was in chaos. Meanwhile, Cheng Yanwen brought Su Tang to his secretary's office and introduced her to everyone.

"Su Tang will also be one of my secretaries from now on. Lily, you take care of her." Cheng Yanwen said.

"Hello everyone, please take care of me from now on." Su Tang, dressed in a well-fitting suit, greeted everyone politely. However, at this moment, she was thinking: This company will belong to my son sooner or later. These people are just working for us. Why should I be polite to them?

As soon as Cheng Yanwen left, Su Tang's true colors were immediately revealed. She plopped down at her workstation and began streaming videos oblivious to the surroundings. Even though she was wearing headphones, her intermittent laughter still annoyed her colleagues.

The secretarial staff were all shrewd people, so how could they not know Su Tang's true identity? Since President Cheng had already called off the engagement, it was entirely possible that this woman could successfully ascend to power by leveraging her unborn child. Therefore, they dared not easily offend Su Tang and could only quietly continue with their work.

At this time, the sound of high heels "thump thump" was heard passing by the secretary's office and heading towards the president's office. Su Tang glanced casually and found that it was Shen Mengyao, so he followed her out curiously.
