Lin Chen walked to the podium and said with a faint smile, "Hello everyone, I'm from Qiao Group. We are here with full sincerity to participate in the investment promotion, hoping Vice President Lin can give us a chance."

Hu Chen, watching Lin Chen walk on stage, snorted coldly and interrupted Lin Chen's speech, "Qiao Group is not within our investment promotion scope, you don't need to speak."

Lin Chen glanced at Hu Chen with a cold snort, "Sorry, my speech this time is not for you, but for Vice President Lin beside you."

"Mr. Lin, this company is just a shell corporation, without strength or technology. We shouldn't let him waste our precious time," Hu Chen said, glancing at Lin Man beside him.

However, Lin Man couldn't help but laugh, ignoring Hu Chen, and said to Lin Chen, "Then, I'll listen attentively to see what special aspects the Qiao Group has to attract such a talented individual like you."

Lin Man's words carried a hint of teasing. Clearly, she was the chairwoman of a business giant, yet she was pretending to be an employee of another company to attend her company's own investment promotion event, which was quite humorous.

Lin Chen smiled at Lin Man, "Don't worry, Manager Lin, I won't disappoint you."

On the big screen, the promotional PPT of Qiao Group was playing.

Lin Chen was eloquent and lively in his speech, first analyzing the Xicheng cosmetics market, and then stating the advantages of Qiao Group.

At first, Qiao Xue was anxious, fearing Lin Chen might make a mistake, but after listening, she was also captivated.

Xu Zhiruo looked at Lin Chen on the podium, a surprised expression on her face.

She didn't expect Lin Chen to be so talented, his speech's appeal and persuasion surpassed even Xu Group's speech draft.

To know that Xu Group's presentation was crafted by a foreign cosmetics designer indeed.

Is this guy really a prodigy?

Xu Zhiruo felt a sense of shock.

As Lin Chen finished his speech, deafening applause erupted in the venue.

Listening to the applause, Hu Chen's face turned increasingly unpleasant, he said to Lin Man, "Manager Lin, this guy's design plan doesn't match reality at all, you shouldn't be deceived by him."

"Hu Chen, do you have any conflict with Mr. Lin, why are you targeting Qiao Group from the beginning?" Lin Man said coldly.

"I, I didn't..." Hu Chen hurriedly defended.

"Hu Chen, remember, never bring personal emotions into work, understand?" Lin Man said coldly.

"Vice President Lin, I understand, I always put the company's interests first," Hu Chen wiped his sweat and said.

Lin Man snorted coldly, "If it's like this, that's best."

Being warned by Lin Man, Hu Chen dared not speak anymore.

Since Qiao Group was the last to present, after Lin Chen's speech, it was time to finally decide on the investment companies.

"Alright, I'm a little tired after listening to so many speeches, going out for some fresh air." Lin Man stretched and said.

"Shall I accompany you?" Hu Chen stood up.

"No need, I want some peace alone." Lin Man said as she stood up.

Saying so, Lin Man quickly walked to the rooftop.

"Brother."

Seeing the figure standing on the rooftop, Lin Man excitedly ran over and jumped into Lin Chen's arms.

Lin Chen affectionately brushed Lin Man's hair and said with a smile, "Silly girl, why did you come here?"

"Hmph, aren't I just missing you? You don't even think of visiting me after so long." Lin Man said discontentedly.

"I went home but you happened to be out of town!" Lin Chen replied innocently.

"Hmph, anyway, you always prioritize romance over friendship, don't think I don't know, you have enough sisters-in-law to form a platoon." Lin Man snorted coldly.

"A platoon, isn't that a bit exaggerated?" Lin Chen said speechlessly.

"Hmph, no matter how many women you have, never disappoint Xue Ying sister, she has sacrificed too much for you."

Lin Man has been working by Xue Ying's side, she knows well how hard this sister-in-law has it.

Lin Chen pinched Lin Man's nose, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Brother, have you heard any news about dad?" Lin Man suddenly asked.

Hearing Lin Man's words, a trace of guilt appeared on Lin Chen's face, "Not yet, but we have some leads."

"Oh, brother, I heard what you're doing is very dangerous, make sure to stay safe." Lin Man said worriedly.

Lin Chen nodded, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Yeah! Brother, I'll wait for you to bring dad home for a reunion." Lin Man said, holding Lin Chen's arm.

Lin Chen stroked Lin Man's head, "Rest assured, that day will come soon."

"By the way, how did you end up at Qiao Group?" Lin Man asked curiously.

"Qiao Group might have a clue related to dad. Oh and that Hu Chen is not a good person, fire him for me." Lin Chen said coldly.

"Hmm, actually I've heard some things about him. I originally planned to investigate after this investment promotion meeting, but I didn't expect he'd get in your way, seems the rumors are true." Lin Man said with an icy tone.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside, though very light, they couldn't escape Lin Chen's ears.

Lin Chen winked at Lin Man, and in a flash, disappeared from the spot.

The rooftop door opened, and Xu Zhiruo walked in from outside.

Lin Man turned around, and upon seeing Xu Zhiruo enter, she said with a faint smile, "President Xu, do you also enjoy watching the night scene from the rooftop?"

Seeing only Lin Man on the rooftop, Xu Zhiruo paused, but her surprise was fleeting as she smiled and replied, "Yes, don't you think the night view of Xicheng is beautiful?"

"Indeed, though the night is beautiful, the wind and sand are a bit strong. Let's head back," Lin Man said with a smile.

Since Xu Group and Qiao Group are competitors, Lin Chen and this Xu Zhiruo must be rivals, so Lin Man's response was somewhat aloof.

Hearing Lin Man's chilly response, Xu Zhiruo's face slightly changed, feeling an uneasy sensation within her.

Back in the hall, Hu Chen handed over an investment list to Lin Man.

Lin Man glanced at the investment list, her gaze slightly hardened, she smiled and said, "General Manager Hu, who finalized this list?"

"We consulted several experts before finalizing this investment list," Hu Chen said flatteringly.

With a cold snort, Lin Man stretched out her hand and tore the list to pieces.

"Vice President Lin, what is this?" Hu Chen's face turned somewhat ugly.

"Hu Chen, I now announce you're fired, from now on you're no longer a part of Xingchen Group," Lin Man said coldly.

"What?" Hu Chen's face suddenly changed upon hearing this.

Although Lin Man didn't raise her voice, it was like a thunderclap, silencing the hall.

Everyone looked at this young female vice president of Xingchen Group, with a look of astonishment on their faces.
