Chapter 788 Clarify Your Own Identity

"Very well, Miss," Jiang Wei said, smiling as he stepped forward to lead the way, looking at Jiang Nuan's confident expression.

The business car was luxurious and comfortable, with a retractable small desk in the back specifically designed for Jiang Nuan to review documents.

This car had been purchased anew for Jiang Nuan.

Jiang Wei showed Jiang Nuan the content of the morning meeting.

"Miss, this is all from today's meeting. The Chairman suddenly announced his abdication, and Miss is essentially thrust into the role. But it's alright, the shareholders have followed the Chairman for many years. Your previous decisions have also earned their trust. There might be some shareholders who disagree in today's meeting, so it will depend on how Miss resolves it."

Jiang Nuan knew that a company's transition meant the end of the previous leader's era. Her grandfather had his methods, and she had hers.

Technology management could make things much easier for her.

However, a change in leadership would also be accompanied by a storm of conflict.

Shifts in control were always the most coveted by every shareholder.

She was young and lacked experience, so today's morning meeting would likely not go smoothly.

Jiang Nuan quickly skimmed through the information Jiang Shu had given her.

Then, she reviewed the shareholding of each shareholder and their profiles.

Jiang Wei introduced, "Miss, this is Director Yang. He is a partner of our company and will also attend the meeting today. He manages the Southeast market. In the Southeast, hospitals only recognize his equipment and medicine. However, he is arrogant and often shows disrespect to the Chairman. With the change in leadership to you, he will likely make things difficult for you."

Jiang Nuan glanced at the profile and asked, "He is not a company shareholder? What qualification does he have to attend the meeting?"

Jiang Nuan observed that the company did not have many shareholders, with her grandfather holding the largest stake.

This had now all been transferred to her name.

Furthermore, the other six shareholders held small stakes, and by proportion, they had no right to speak.

However, with an inexperienced her managing the company, that might not be the case.

Jiang Nuan guessed correctly; he should be one of her grandfather's old comrades.

"Miss, he is the sole dominant force in the Southeast region. If we don't do business with him, other companies will also cooperate with him. This market has great potential, with profits of hundreds of millions annually. It's just that he himself is very difficult to deal with."

Jiang Nuan made a note of it.

"Are these six all old comrades of Grandpa?" Jiang Nuan felt it was better to clarify to avoid any unpleasantness and causing her grandfather any difficulty.

It wasn't that she was thinking the worst, but rather that some things needed to be prevented in advance.

Jiang Wei said, "Three of them are the Chairman's old comrades. The other three were brought in by the Chairman previously to stabilize the situation in Modu, allowing them to participate in shareholding. However, these three are restless, and the Chairman intended to oust them. They secretly tried to cover everything up. Last year, their subsidiary companies lost several hundred million. They wanted to extract this money from the Chairman, but the Chairman saw through them and did not let them succeed. Miss, you need to pay most attention to these three. As long as we find evidence of their wrongdoing, we can remove them at any time."

Jiang Nuan felt much more at ease after understanding the company's situation.

Jianda Group!

The company headquarters was located in a luxurious area in the city center. Jiang Nuan passed by it but had never explored this area.

Upon reaching the top floor of the company, a luxurious atmosphere immediately enveloped her.

Jiang Nuan walked on the marble floor that could reflect people's shadows, her slender figure and cold demeanor like a lotus blooming.

At the entrance to the conference room stood a tall woman with delicate features and an elegant demeanor, her aura carrying a hint of aggressiveness.

Jiang Wei introduced, "Miss, this is the Secretary-General. She is Director Zhang's granddaughter, placed here specifically for experience. Although placed here, the real purpose is to gather company intelligence."

"We can find an opportunity to let her go. Her name is Zhang Jinglu."

Jiang Nuan nodded slightly.

Zhang Jinglu stepped forward with a smile, "Uncle Jiang, this must be Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Wei calmly introduced, "Yes, Secretary Zhang. Please address her as Chairman Jiang."

Zhang Jinglu smiled elegantly, and a flicker of jealousy crossed her eyes as she looked at Jiang Nuan's stunning beauty. She slowly said, "Chairman Jiang, the shareholders and executives inside are all present. We can begin the morning meeting."

Jiang Nuan replied, "Alright!"

Zhang Jinglu pulled open the office door.

In the spacious, bright, and luxurious office, people were seated around a circular desk several meters long.

Jiang Nuan walked in with composure and stood before the head of the table.

Her icy gaze swept over everyone. Standing there, she seemed like a solitary snow lotus on a snowy mountain, unattainable, proud, and indifferent.

"I am the newly appointed Chairman of Jianda Group, Jiang Nuan. I hope we can cooperate smoothly." After a concise introduction, she sat down with composure.

Director Wang looked at the capable Jiang Nuan, who exuded charm and presence. "Director Jiang, the former Chairman always praised you. Although you have never been to the company, we are aware of your existence. Your previous formulas and your insights into equipment have led the company into a new era. Since the beginning of spring, orders have increased by 10% compared to last year, and with the current trend, orders will continue to grow."

"Thank you for your praise, Uncle Wang! I am still young and have much to learn from all of you. My grandfather often taught me that you are the elder chairmen with rich business experience, and I should learn from you. I will be relying on you, Uncle Wang, and everyone else in the future." Her tone was gentle and measured, neither overly flattering nor deliberately modest, striking a perfect balance that was pleasant to hear.

"What can a young girl just out of school possibly understand? The former Chairman truly placed his trust in you. You've never brought her to the company for training, and you simply handed over the position with one sentence. What will people in the company think of this?"

Director Yang, seated opposite Jiang Nuan, spoke with a mocking tone.

Jiang Wei introduced, "Chairman Jiang, this is Director Yang, Yang Dongyu, our collaborator."

Jiang Nuan's cold gaze sharply fixed on Yang Dongyu. She had expected an older, middle-aged man.

However, he turned out to be a young man around thirty years old.

His features were delicate, and his face carried a look of ill intent.

He wasn't exactly handsome, but his tall stature and good demeanor combined made him somewhat presentable.

Jiang Nuan found herself looking at Mu Jiu Chen too often, and now, everyone else seemed less attractive.

This was perhaps what people called "love is blind."

Jiang Nuan spoke unhurriedly, "Director Yang, I hope you understand your position. First, you are not part of my company. Second, you are here only to discuss cooperation. No matter how large your Southeast market is, if you cannot grasp your own identity, it will be very awkward."

Yang Dongyu, who even the former Chairman had to give some face to, was instantly enraged by Jiang Nuan's words. "What did you say?"
