An Nuan faced all the people in the high-level conference room.
She smiled slightly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Does Director Chang think there is something improper about me taking on the position of Market Sales Director?"
"Nonsense!" Chang Deyue's face sank, obviously very unfriendly.
"What does Director Chang find improper about me?" An Nuan's attitude remained steady, and she did not appear flustered at all by someone questioning her.
"First, the An Group is ranked second among state-owned enterprises in North Wen Country. Within the group, only elites are present, even the most basic employees must be graduates of universities ranked in the top 50 nationwide, or have rich experience and outstanding achievements. Second, previous Market Sales Directors of the An Group have all been employees over 35 years old who have slowly worked their way up from the bottom with abundant market experience and outstanding performance. No one has ever been parachuted in directly like this." Chang Deyue listed two points, looking at An Nuan with utter disdain, "Tell me, Miss An, without education, experience, or even ability, how do you feel you can serve as the Sales Director of one of the top 100 companies in the world?"
His words were well-reasoned.
Obviously prepared beforehand.
An Nuan glanced around at everyone present without any change in expression, glanced at An YanKun, seeing his sarcastic yet smug smile, not hiding it at all.
Her eyes flickered.
She glanced at An Yanyuan.
Seeing that he clearly wanted to speak up for her.
At that moment, she spoke directly, "Regarding Director Chang's doubts about me, I understand and fully acknowledge them. Without mentioning the An Group's national status, just based on me, a clueless little girl, it is indeed difficult to take on such heavy responsibilities."
"Hmph." Chang Deyue sneered, looking down on her.
He probably thought after being admonished like this a couple times, the little girl would become timid.
At that moment, An YanKun was naturally also very happy.
This high-level meeting was deliberately organized by him, to have Chang Deyue publicly humiliate An Nuan, which was also deliberately arranged by him. On one hand, it was to get back at his daughter, to let An Nuan know that just because she was An Yanyuan's daughter did not mean she could casually bully An Xiao, she did not yet have that privilege! On the other hand, of course, he did not want An Nuan to appear in the An Group. Even if she were to appear, she absolutely could not hold such a high position, he absolutely could not let An Nuan accomplish anything in the group, in case it ruined his big plans, the losses would be too great.
In such an advanced conference room.
A group of people ganging up against An Nuan like this.
An Yanyuan naturally could not stand to see it happen.
He also expected that today's meeting, convened by high-level executives, definitely harbored ill intent towards An Nuan, but standing from a fair and just perspective, he also could not be too protective of An Nuan, so he naturally agreed, just did not expect that some people really would not give him any face.
He spoke again.
But his voice was suppressed by An Nuan.
"However, since I can appear here, since I have assumed the position of Sales Director, I must have my reasons for taking on this role."
"What reasons?" Chang Deyue mocked, "Being the Chairman's daughter?"
"Yes." An Nuan readily admitted it.
At this, not only Chang Deyue, but the other executives couldn't help but laugh.
They probably truly felt she was too shameless.
She had the audacity to use the backdoor so matter-of-factly?!
"Because I am the Chairman's daughter, I have been immersed in the company's affairs since I was little because of my father, so I am more familiar with the company compared to ordinary people. In fact, my father has told me about many of the An Group's major projects. For example, the bidding on the municipal planning standards building project half a year ago, the construction of the Bamboo Garden premium club, the land acquisition of the public welfare plaza, etc. I am very clear about the entire negotiation process and results. So for Director Chang's accusation that I lack experience, I cannot fully accept that. After all, although not extensive, I certainly do not completely lack experience. Besides, experience is only one aspect of assessing work capabilities, and cannot fully prove whether or not I am capable of taking on this position."
Chang Deyue was about to retort.
An Nuan gave him no opportunity to speak at all, "Secondly, regarding Director Chang's questioning of my academic qualifications, I do not know whether a dual master's degree in International Business and Economic Studies from Qingcheng University would allow one to enter the An Group. If not, then during my undergraduate and master's degree studies, when I received an invitation from Foss University, the world's highest institute, to study at Foss as an exchange student, and obtained Foss University's annual Green Ribbon honor, I wonder if that would qualify me to join? Oh right, those present may not know exactly what the Green Ribbon represents. To date, fewer than 50 people worldwide have obtained the Green Ribbon, including international economics master Will, current Minister of Economy Starr of Country M, and world's richest man Kostra."
An Nuan's words left everyone dumbfounded.
No one knew An Nuan had these academic credentials.
In everyone's mind, An Nuan was just a woman wholeheartedly intent on marrying into a rich family. It was completely impossible that she could have such high achievements.
Moreover, once explained this way, An Nuan was admitted to Qingcheng University and studied the same elite major as Gu Yan Sheng, so why did everyone only know about Gu Yan Sheng's academic background and accomplishments, yet no one knew An Nuan was also at this school in the same major, although the two had an age difference of three grades. Logically, a couple with such outstanding results should have been heavily reported on long ago. Why was An Nuan so unknown?
An Nuan also knew everyone's doubts.
After all, at that time, she had kept an extremely low profile. No one in her class knew she was the An Group Chairman's daughter. She never told anyone she was studying at this school, let alone that she had studied abroad at Foss and received such a high honor from Foss. And all of it was because Gu Yan Sheng disliked it, disliked her being too outstanding. Ostensibly he said he didn't want them to be too high profile, but in reality it was because he didn't want her to outshine him and take away his sense of superiority.
It was only after rebirth that she realized all this.
"You're just spouting nonsense, where's the proof?" At this point, even An YanKun could not stand it anymore. Apparently he could not accept An Nuan having these accomplishments.
If she really had such results, wouldn't it just highlight how ordinary his own children were?!
An Hao had only graduated from an average key university. An Zhao barely got into a college by paying money. An Xiao was a little better, having attended a university ranked in the top ten, but added up, it was still not comparable to the honor An Nuan spoke of.
Most importantly, over so many years, he had never heard of where An Nuan attended school or received any honors.
