I Want A Lifetime With You 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 regr meeting ever since leaving Fucheng a year ago.


    Thepany 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 nces. 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 shed 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 thisment. 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 ce.”


    “Really? That’s too immoral.”


    “Exactly…”


    Shi Nuan’s expression darkened. She pursed her lips, red 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?”


    “You…” Chairman Li’s face reddened as he mmed his hands on the table. “You dare talk to me like


    this, Shi Nuan?”


    Shi Nuan looked up to meet Chairman Li’s eyes directly, without any hint of surrender. She red at


    him for a long time before finally letting out augh, asking, “Was I talking to you, Chairman Li?”


    “You… you… Don’t think I don’t know you’re talking about me, you little brat!”


    “Then I guess you’ve misunderstood me, Chairman Li. To me, you’re still so young – how could I call


    you old? You’d have to wait another ten, twenty years to be considered old! Was I referring to


    Chairman Li, everyone?”


    How could anyone get mad at someone who looked so innocent? Besides, Shi Nuan had indeed never


    mentioned Chairman Li’s name.

    If the man wanted to cause some trouble, he should have chosen a proper time and ce to do so.


    Meanwhile, the other directors and executives chose to remain neutral amidst the tense battle between


    Shi Nuan and Chairman Li.


    Chairman Li was so furious that he couldn’t speak. Right at that moment, the meeting room door was


    pushed open. Fu Yuqing walked in, followed by Fu Xicheng.


    Fu Yuqing could tell something wasn’t right the moment he walked in. He scanned the room and his


    eyesnded on Shi Nuan for a moment before averting them, as though he had not seen her.


    Meanwhile, Fu Xicheng feltplicated after walking in and seeing Shi Nuan. He still vividly


    remembered what had happened that night. The words Shi Nuan had said to him were unbearable.


    Shi Nuan quickly noticed the slight change in Fu Yuqing’s attitude towards her and couldn’t stop her


    lips from curving into a self-depreciating smile. She, too, acted like she didn’t know him.


    “Alright, let’s begin our meeting. First of all, let’s wee Ms. Shi back! For the entire year, she was on


    a business trip to discuss projects on behalf of thepany. Good job! Everyone, let’s give her a round


    of apuse and celebrate her triumphant return.”
