Chapter 305: 207 Recognizing Relatives (2) Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, stepping on him to climb up the ladder_2

And to see a group of grown men pressuring a woman like that, the scene indeed didn’t look good.

After everyone calmed down, they also felt somewhat embarrassed, anger igniting in just an instant. Who could think so much in that moment?

Qi Zeyan suddenly chuckled lightly, “I don’t understand what you all are afraid of. When my dad got married, he transferred all his company shares to my mom’s name. She wasn’t even a finance major, and she occasionally liked to point fingers at the company affairs. So what? Did our company collapse?”

“A huge company, ruined by one woman? That would only prove that the company was already in bad shape!”

“I hate it the most when everything is blamed on women, like how one woman destroyed an entire dynasty. Know the nature of your own internals without a hint of perception, corrupt regimes, foolish rulers, incompetent ministers, deteriorating environments…”

“After all, if not blaming it on women, what else can this group of men use to cover their own shame!”

Qi Zeyan was always sharp with his words, not minding to hold back even during the Xie Family’s annual event.

He had always been arrogant and spoke his mind without considering the occasion. Even today, without knowing the relationship between Shen Zhixian and Jiang Yanting, he would have stood up seeing the situation anyway.noveldrama

Duan Linbai, sitting opposite him, slightly raised an eyebrow and muttered:

“You actually know how to speak human language?”

Qi Zeyan raised an eyebrow, wishing he could grab a handful of sunflower seeds and throw them at his face!

You’re the one who can’t speak human language!

“But you make a lot of sense. I don’t understand what these men are afraid of either. Even if she had the power to overturn the entire Xie Family, can’t you guys guard your company?” Duan Linbai followed up, taking digs.

Qi Zeyan scoffed, “That’s not cowardice, that’s incompetence!”

“If admitting incompetence, it’s better to leave the company sooner rather than later.”

…

The two of them together indeed turned the previously shouting Xie Family employees’ faces from shame to rage.

Shen Zhixian was grateful and looked at Qi Zeyan then continued:

“In fact, I haven’t met ninety percent of the people here, and I haven’t seen a single employee from Xie Family. Your hostility towards me is all based on what you know about me online.”

“I understand your anger and resistance towards me!”

“I just don’t want you to be manipulated by someone with an agenda, turning into blades in other people’s hands.”

After saying this, Shen Zhixian directly looked towards Xie Jing sitting in the audience, without any hint of avoidance.

Her gaze made it clear. These words were aimed at Xie Jing!

Xie Jing taking the lead was known to everyone, but usually, in such events, it was better to let matters slide, dealing with Xie Family’s private issues quietly. However, Shen Zhixian’s gaze meant she was bringing things into the open…

A public declaration of war!

This was Shen Zhixian’s first public appearance, and she was stirring up trouble.

“Even if we know it’s Xie Jing, there’s no need to be so obvious, right? If Xie Jing can tolerate this, the matter could be dropped, but if he can’t, there will definitely be a confrontation.”

“It’s too impulsive, being slightly aggrieved is tolerable, making a scene doesn’t look good on anyone.”

“Her relationship with Xie Jing is already quite peculiar, how things will end still depends on the Xie Family’s attitude. Given the Xie Family’s indulgent attitude towards Xie Jing, he has some power in the company too. Miss Shen might end up at a disadvantage.”

…

Amidst the murmuring of the crowd, Shen Zhixian just raised an eyebrow and smiled, “What now? No longer daring to speak? Weren’t you all clamoring to boo me off stage just now? Have you become mute?”

“Or perhaps, you also only dare to hide behind the crowd?”

“Cowering like that, do you even deserve to call yourself a man?”

Shen Zhixian repeatedly provoked, though not naming names, everyone clearly understood it was aimed at Xie Jing, creating an atmosphere for watching a spectacle.

To be called unworthy of being a man, any common man would feel insulted, especially in such a large gathering, being publicly humiliated, Xie Jing naturally couldn’t take it!

He slammed the table and jumped up!

“Shen Zhixian, you damn try saying that again!” he said, leaving his seat and charging towards the stage.

“Xie Jing!” Xie Yongqi frowned but did not stop him.

Xie Duo, even though sitting right next to him, grabbed his arm, but Xie Jing moved too quickly, and Xie Duo couldn’t hold him back. Turning around, Xie Jing had already made it to the stage.

At this moment, Old Master Xie did something very subtle…

Even as security stepped forward to intervene, he quietly stepped to the side.

Shen Zhixian, observing his actions, couldn’t quite figure out what this old man was really planning.

“Manager Xie, please calm down!” The security and staff members tried to stop Xie Jing from getting onstage.
