Chapter 3 Mutual Use (Part Two)

Originally, she thought that having clairvoyance was useful. However, she was still in Level 1. It wasn't as if her clairvoyance could solve anything at such a low level. In fact, it might not even recover her company.

The sky rumbled as lightning flashed.

It seemed that it was about to rain.

Shirley quickly changed into a business suit. She wore a high-quality chiffon shirt with a V collar, revealing her creamy skin and defined collarbone. She wore a tight skirt to match the whole outfit. Although the style was simple, it enveloped her curvy figure well. Since it was cold, she decided to put on a sweater.

Her clothes might look simple, but they were created by famous brands and exclusive designers. It made her look sophisticated and elegant.

Without missing a beat, she walked into the Xia Film Company's wide doors and took the elevator to the meeting room located on the thirteenth floor.

Because of the rumors circulating around the internet, half of the employees in the company had left. The once bustling office looked a little bleak.

She entered the meeting room to see all of the shareholders sitting on their respective seats. Shirley took the seat at the other end of the table that overlooked the twenty shareholders. Her face was calm and passive.

However, something in her froze when she realized the person sitting at one of the seats. Samuel!

Her lips twitched. Thinking of Sam's words, she restrained herself.

"My father had a heart attack, so he would be sent abroad for a coronary bypass operation. He's too old to bear the malice on the internet, but of course, our company can't live without a leader. Since we don't have a chairman, we must vote one. If anyone can think of a good candidate, then suggest them to me so we can have a vote. But today, I'll be taking over. That is, if you'll allow me," Shirley said calmly.

Originally, this was going to be a difficult thing. In fact, if she had walked in here without that reward, she would've been mocked and kicked unceremoniously out of the meeting room.

However, in order to resolve this crisis, she needed to be the chairman. Sam's reward was for her to pass through the voting.

The meeting room erupted into a series of discussion.

Shirley merely sat still and crossed her arms. She couldn't help but glance at Samuel. One of the reasons why he was here was because he had bought the shares when the Xia Film Company was just newly listed. He became one of the largest shareholders.

Her heart pounded nervously.

Although Sam already told her that the shareholders would agree to her decision, she was afraid that Samuel might be the unexpected element thrown into the mix.

"No problem."

"I agree with you Shirley is his daughter after all. It's not like she'd do anything to harm the company."

"She graduated with a bachelor's degree in finance and management abroad. In fact, she even interned in one of the top companies. We all know she's capable."

Upon hearing their discussions, her burden slowly lifted off her chest.

However, throughout the discussion, Samuel didn't say a word. It was hard to tell as to whether he agreed with their words or not.

Soon, more and more people agreed to her decision.

Even Samuel, who had been filled with doubts, agreed that Shirley should take over the Xia Film Company.

After the meeting, it was as if Samuel had come to his senses. While Shirley was sorting out the documents on her desk, he placed a hand on her shoulder, holding her down. "What tricks are you playing?"

"I'm not playing anything," she snapped. There was no point in feeling guilty of manipulating them. It wasn't as if they knew what she had done. Besides, Samuel wouldn't even believe it even if she admitted to it.

She straightened her back and looked straight into his eyes.

"If you don't have the experience to handle such a crisis, you'll be the end of the Xia Film Company."

As soon as he finished his words, Shirley finally remembered what had happened. The crisis that they were facing right now was caused by none other than Damon. He was the one who deliberately paid some trolls to slander their company. He falsified evidences and used the other film companies to steal the resources from the Xia Group.

If the company closed down, then Shirley would have no choice but to sell herself to other men in order to get power. Once all hope was lost, she would kidnap and retaliate against Karla. Once Samuel knew of these things, he would directly throw her into Africa to be someone's prostitute.

She and Samuel had suffered because of it.

Thinking of this, Shirley felt a twinge of sympathy for the man in front of her.

"Since I've taken over the Xia Film Company, I'll be responsible for it. I'll do my best. Now, if you have the time, do you mind investigating on the Qin Family?" she asked casually.

Samuel's gaze darkened. "You–"

"I didn't mean anything. With your ability, you'd be able to find out more about the Qin Family without the Ji Family's knowledge. More specifically, you'll be able to know more about Jay Qin." She patted him on the shoulder without saying anything more.

Although Samuel didn't know the truth, in Shirley's eyes, they were both one and the same now.
