I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 104

Shi Nuan shrugged off Fu Chengyan’s hands as she signaled for him to behave and smiled at those who had ushered in. She looked like an angel descended from heaven in comparison to the stern-faced and distant Fu Chengyan.

Seeing the look on their faces, Shi Nuan thought that they were being too serious. However, when she stole a glance at Fu Chengyan, she finally understood the reason behind their uptight demeanor.

Fu Chengyan skimmed through the team with a stern look, “Not sitting down?”

The managerial staff then rushed in and found their seats, setting their backs straight. Shi Nuan was amused with their tensed behavior. It would be normal for one to be serious in a meeting, but all of them looked like they were ready to sacrifice themselves.

Fu Chengyan glanced at Shi Nuan and saw that she was trying to keep a straight face. It was as if her smile was contagious. In the end, he gave up and slightly curled his lips into a thin smile.

They were once again stunned by Fu Chengyan’s behavior. However, they were much more calm this time.

Fu Chengyan let go of Shi Nuan’s hands and tapped his fingers on the table, forming a rhythmic pattern.

Slowly, the heartbeat of those in the meeting room followed suit. They did not understand the boss’s intention of showing up abruptly today, nonetheless bringing a young woman along.

However, they knew that the two were closely related, especially since Fu Chengyan let the young woman presided over the meeting room. Thus, they had guessed the identity of the woman in their heads.

“I’m calling you guys here just to introduce someone.” Fu Chengyan spoke, and everyone held their breath while waiting for the next line.

Fu Chengyan’s gaze brushed past all of them and looked at Shi Nuan, “This is Shi Nuan, and she is the main shareholder of Xinhuang!”

The usually stern-looking crowd was now in an uproar upon the revelation, as their mouths hung wide open after hearing Fu Chengyan’s remark. But since it came out of Fu Chengyan’s mouth, it must be true.

Shi Nuan pursed her lips as she did not expect Fu Chengyan to announce her identity that bluntly. Then, she looked awkwardly at the heads of departments and smiled, “Greetings, everyone.”

“Greetings, Ms. Shi!” They replied in unison.

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes. At that moment, Shi Nuan thought that he was going to be enraged. But he did not, and grinned instead, “I just brought her here for an introduction, nothing else.”

They were quick to get Fu Chengyan’s intention and hurriedly nodded.

“From now on, Shi Nuan will be the de facto person-in-charge for Xinhuang. You guys can still look for Zhou Zheng as usual, but she’s the one to make the final call. As for me… I am also subject to her instructions. Is everyone clear?”

“Yes, yes!”

The boss had spoken with such clarity, how can we not get it!

They were just working on wages and had no say in the manpower shift, especially regarding the top management. Hence, they could only listen.

Although the managerial staff were clearly surprised at the shift, they had adapted quickly to the news as they were already veterans.

Qin Hong, however, seemed calm in comparison. She thought about Shi Nuan and Shi Wei’s names and made some deductions. However, she was wrong in guessing that they were cordial toward each other since she was thinking about ways to appease Shi Wei as a means to butter up Shi Nuan.

But as soon as Qin Hong thought about Shi Wei’s attitude, she felt helpless.

After all those years as a producer, it was the first time she had met someone that she disliked so immensely.

At that moment, Shi Nuan felt a pair of blazing eyes staring at her, so she turned over and saw Qin Hong. She immediately recognized Qin Hong as the producer for Shi Wei’s audition and smiled in her direction while nodding slightly. Qin Hong was startled at Shi Nuan’s friendliness and smiled back at her.

Just then, Fu Chengyan rapped at the meeting table, “I don’t wish for others outside of Xinhuang to know of Shi Nuan’s identity. Of course, I don’t want to hear any gossips about it in Xinhuang either.”

“Yes, we understand!”

When he had finished speaking, Fu Chengyan waved his hands to dismiss everyone, “Get back to work!” Then, he paused for a while and continued, “Ms. Qin, please stay back.”

Qin Hong was surprised that Fu Chengyan had called her name, “Yes, Mr. Fu!”

The spacious meeting room was left with only the three of them after everyone had left, so Fu Chengyan smirked, “How’s the audition for Shi Wei going?”
