Chapter 1226
Just as they were yelling and shouting, Lily noticed Fade at first nce. She smiled and said in a
surprised tone, "Fade, you''re back!"
Hearing the name "Fade", the directors and managers froze at once and they all looked over in
shock.
Then, when they saw that it was really Fade, their faces fell. They immediately defended
themselves.
"President Chen, I didn''t see that it was you, so..."
"Master Chen, you''re back. Sorry, I made an indiscreet remark."
"President Chen, please take a seat."
Fade took a nce at these people and ignored them. He walked straight to Lily and asked, "Sister
Lily, how is it going? Did they make things difficult for you?"
Upon hearing this, their expressions changed again and they quickly wanted to exin further.
However, Fade threw a cold look at them and uttered, "I wasn''t asking any of you!"
Suddenly, no one dared to speak. They could only keep ncing at Lily and hinting at her.
Lily was still processing her thoughts. She didn''t expect Fade to return to thepany at this
timing. On the other hand, she also didn''t expect Fade to be aware of what was going on in the
company.
"Fade, about thepany, Quin..." Lily couldn''t help but pause at the mention of Quin. She
tentatively peered at him.
Fade said, "I already learned about Quin''s departure. As for thepany, since she''s entrusted it to
you, you can deal with it as you like. If there is anyone who refuses to cooperate, you can always
tell me and I''ll take care of it."
While speaking, Fade''s eyes swept over the directors and managers.
Lily felt a surge of warmth at his words, then she smiled for a split second before putting back on
her stern expression. She looked at the crowd and said," Since Mr. Chen is also part of our
company, let''s continue the meeting."
Then, Fade sat down next to Lily.
Lily continued solemnly, "There were personnel changes and corresponding changes made after
President Lin’s departure. If you have any opinion on this, please speak up."
When Lily had presented the same question earlier, she was faced with skeptical questions and
opposing voices.
But now, with Fade sitting next to her, no one dared to speak up and they were all in silence.
Seeing this, Lily tapped her fingers on the table and added, "There doesn''t seem to be anyone
opposing this. Then, let''s move forward. From today on, I''ll be the acting chairman of Fei
Enterprises Holdings Inc."
At this point, a few of the participants finally couldn''t sit still. They looked at each other and then
their gazes all fell on a cultured-looking man in his 50s with gold-rimmed sses.
The man coughed lightly before looking at Lily and spoke, "Miss Wei, I am aware of the changes
you mentioned. In general, I do agree with you. However, I have different views on certain
personnel appointments."
"Mr. Hu, do share your opinion with us." Lily raised her eyebrows to prompt the former, then pushed
a document to Fade.
Fade took a nce at the document and studied up quickly on the man''s information.
The man was Ryan Hu, who joined thepany 15 years ago as a team leader of the marketing
department. Over the years, he had slowly made his way to the position of the sales department''s
general manager.
Moreover, he held 5 percent of thepany shares. Amongst all the shareholders present, Ryan
held thergest portion of shares, and he also had the longest working experience with the
company.
It was obvious that Ryan was not satisfied with the fact that Lily was being appointed.
Sure enough, after listening to Lily, Ryan got straight to the point. "My concern is mainly on the
appointment of the acting chairman. I can understand why President Lin''s entrusting you with this
position; after all, you used to be her secretary and you two share a close personal rtionship. It''s
only normal for President Lin to choose you."
His words didn''t seem like he had a problem with this, but in fact, he was indirectly hinting that Lily
was appointed as the acting chairman only because of her rtionship with Quin, not because she
was qualified for the position.
As expected, many directors and managers nodded in agreement and whispered among
themselves.
Lily''s eyes narrowed at this, but she didn''t get angry. She simply looked at Ryan and asked, "Since
you don’t find me suitable for the position, may I ask who would you nominate?"
Ryan smiled at her question. He quickly waved his hand and exined, "Miss Wei, I''m not saying
that you''re not fit for the position. It’s just that we are aiming to expand our business, and we need
someone who is more experienced to manage thepany. After all, thepany doesn''t belong
to one person, but to everyone. It''s beneficial to have someone more experienced to manage the
company."
Just as he finished speaking, some people among the crowd immediately agreed with his words.
"I agree with Mr. Hu."

"Mr. Hu''s right, Miss Wei. You''re capable, but you''re still too young. You''re not even in your 30''s."
"Yes. It would be better for someone who is a little more experienced to take up this position."
Watching them echoing after one another, Fade''s face gradually darkened.
Lily didn''t lose her temper and continued inquiring, "Since everyone has voiced out their opinion, I''d
like to ask if you have any suitable candidate in mind?"
Ryan smirked and then nced at the directors and managers who had concurred with his
reasoning.
Immediately, someone stated, "Since you''ve asked, I think there''s a suitable candidate."
"I think that Mr. Hu is a great candidate. He''s been in thepany for 15 years and has a lot of
experience."
"Mr. Hu also has an outstanding performance in his job. He had been leading ourpany''s sales
department to continuously create new heights."
"So, in terms ofpetence, personal qualifications, and character, Mr. Hu is the best candidate,"
that person concluded.
"Yes, you''re right. I support Mr. Hu as well!"
"Indeed, Mr. Hu is the most suitable one.”
"I support Mr. Hu too."
Ryan''s smile grew wider at the wave ofpliments and support. Nheless, he still pretended to
be humble as he gazed at Lily and said, "I didn''t expect so many people to nominate me. I''m a bit
surprised."
"Since everyone supports me this strongly, I gratefully ept it. I would also like to nominate myself
as the acting chairman. Of course, if Miss Wei finds this nomination process inappropriate, we can
always proceed to the voting session," Ryan said as he nced sharply at Lily.
