I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 17

In Fucheng, every Monday’s morning meetings were used to summarize the past week’s work. This was also Shi Nuan’s first time attending the regular meeting ever since leaving Fucheng a year ago.

The company directors were surprised to see Shi Nuan. Some of them didn’t know Shi Nuan had returned, while others were rather critical of her because of what had happened a few days ago.

Shi Nuan chose to ignore their glances. She walked directly towards her seat while carrying her documents, then scanned the audience. Since the chairman and general manager hadn’t arrived, everyone was chatting away.

Some of the directors were older and naturally had more power than Shi Nuan, so they took advantage of these aspects and openly discussed the engagement dinner from that night.

Among them was a director who once clashed with Shi Nuan because of work and hated how strong-willed she was, so he looked forward to stirring the pot over this matter. “To think that there are those who still dare show up after bringing themselves so much humiliation.”

Shi Nuan simply raised a brow at this comment. She initially decided to just ignore Chairman Li, but the man had no intentions of stopping there.

“I was even wondering how she had climbed the ranks so quickly despite barely contributing anything. Turns out it’s because she’s been working backstage! It’s a shame there are such heartless people out there, trying to take over her own older sister’s place.”

“Really? That’s too immoral.”

“Exactly…”

Shi Nuan’s expression darkened. She pursed her lips, glared at Chairman Li and said scoffed, “I thought only girls would gossip, but it appears that anyone can do it regardless of gender or even age. If a child’s words mean no harm, then what about an old person’s?”
