Chapter 447: Chapter 448: The President Trusts Her like a Starlight
Xia Weiwei headed off to the company, so she had carefully chosen a professional outfit to wear the next day.
She posed this way and that in front of the mirror, looking satisfied with her perfectly contoured figure.
However, just as she was about to step out of her room, she run into Xia Yangyang emerging from hers.
And it just so happened that Xia Yangyang also happened to be dressed in professional attire.
Xia Yangyang’s face was so eye-catching that even in her plain business suit, she managed to emanate an alluring vibe without trying.
Filled with jealousy, Xia Weiwei thought: “Why are you dressed ? As a lady of the Gu Family, are you planning to go out and find a job?”
Xia Yangyang had no intention of engaging in a conversation with Xia Weiwei and went downstairs.
Xia Weiwei clenched her fists, forcing herself to stay calm.
Were it not for Liu Ruyan’s instructions to lay low for the moment, she would have ripped Yangyang’s clothes to shreds by now.
Xia Yangyang drove away on her own.
Xia Weiwei then accompanied Liu Ruyan to the Starlight.
Starlight had undergone a massive staff turnover.
Knowing Starlight Building was about to collapse, the previous shareholders had sold off all their stocks a while ago.
The final signing ceremony would be held today.
It was also a moment of transition for the new chairman to assume office.
Inside the Starlight meeting room was a crowd of new and old shareholders waiting.
Everyone was curious as well.
Xinli Media was a newly established company and little was known about the burgeoning entertainment firm.
Of course, there was private speculation that the relentless momentum and generous spending of Xinli Media suggested a powerful backer.
Some speculated that it was probably a tycoon from the industry.
The meeting would start at nine, and nearly everyone else had already gathered.
At nine o’clock sharp, the meeting room door swung open.
A tall figure appeared at the entrance.
Everyone turned to look at the door.
The meeting room, which had been bustling with conversations, fell laudibly silent.
Becuase the man standing at the entrance was someone everyone recognized.
It was Shen Shichuan.
Shen Shichuan was the chairman of Time International Entertainment, currently the largest entertainment company in the country.
In the past, Starlight and Time were equals in the entertainment industry. Although Time was established later than Starlight, it eventually emerged victorious, surpassing Starlight.
Now, at the shareholder meeting for the new takeover of Starlight, what was Time’s CEO doing here?
Those quick to deduce figured it out.
The likely backer of Xinli Media might have been Time.
Otherwise, how could a new media company have the financial strength to acquire Starlight in such a short period?
Liu Ruyan stood up with a gracious smile on her face.
Seeing Shen Shichuan’s appearance didn’t surprise her; it was within her expectations.
Starlight was an economic entertainment company, and it would be hard for anyone else to turn it around even after acquiring it.
The only ones willing to pay a hefty price for it would definitely be the industry’s top players.
So, it was not surprising at all that the person who bought all her shares for a significant amount was Shen Shichuan.
For years, Starlight and Time had fiercely competed for resources.
However, they did cooperate for a period later on.
Liu Ruyan hadn’t had much contact with Shen Shichuan.
Her overall impression of him was summed up in the phrase “business genius”.
But no matter who acquired Starlight, they were all her big benefactors.
She couldn’t thank them enough.
With a smile on her face, Liu Ruyan approached him: “This is an eye-opener for me. I was always curious about who had the capability to absorb Starlight in one go, but I’m not surprised at all to see CEO Shen.”
Liu Ruyan reached Shen Shichuan, offering her hand for a handshake: “No, I should call you Director Shen now.”
Shen Shichuan responded with a gentlemanly smile: “”Director Shen’ is too heavy of a title. I’m merely accompanying an old friend today. The chairman of your Starlight is actually someone else.”
Shen Shichuan slightly turned his head: “Look, here she comes.”
