"No, no... we have things to do, we'll be going now!" The group quickly got up and left.
In an instant, the conference room was left with only Bai Tang, Lawyer Zhang, and the three people still lying on the floor.
Lawyer Zhang looked at the young woman standing by the floor-to-ceiling window and spoke with some concern, "Miss, regarding the next steps..."
"Continue!" Bai Tang said calmly.
Lawyer Zhang paused, then nodded, but couldn't help advising, "Miss, after all, Chairman Bai is your father..."
"Lawyer Zhang, go handle your work," Bai Tang interrupted, not wanting to say more about it.
Lawyer Zhang glanced at her, then finally left.
"Oh, and have the former Chairman Bai clear out his office for me immediately."
Lawyer Zhang: "...Yes."
Five minutes later, Bai Tang returned to the conference room and, seeing Bai Chengfeng still sitting there, said with a smirk, "What, can't bear to leave?"
Bai Chengfeng stood up, stormed over to Bai Tang, and raised his hand to slap her, but she caught his wrist mid-air.
"I have principles when it comes to the elderly—I don't like to resort to force," Bai Tang said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "But if an elder doesn't act with dignity, then I have no principles left."
Bai Tang released Bai Chengfeng's hand, looked at him, and smiled. "Please leave now."
"Bai Tang, do you really think you can hold onto this position?" Bai Chengfeng sneered at her. "Do you truly believe having shares makes everything smooth sailing? You're thinking too simply."
Bai Tang walked over to the desk, lightly spun the chair, turned around, leaned back, and sat down directly, lifting her feet to prop them on the desk—a full-on boss pose.
"Whether I can hold this position is my skill. No need for your concern."
"Get out."
Bai Chengfeng clenched his fists, staring at the girl sitting in his chair like a thug, itching to strangle her.
"You really are an ungrateful wretch. After all these years of feeding and clothing you well, this is how you repay me?"
Bai Tang smiled, her expression eerie. "You're thinking too simply. How could it end with just this? I've only just begun. Don't worry, I'll repay you thoroughly."
"Chairman, Mr. Sheng is looking for you," the secretary said nervously from the doorway.
Bai Chengfeng turned to see Sheng Qi at the entrance, felt a flicker of confusion, but was quite pleased.
"What does Mr. Sheng want with me?" Bai Chengfeng asked, his face already regaining a smile as he said to the secretary, "Take Mr. Sheng to the reception room next door immediately. I'll be right there."
Sheng Qi's gaze shifted coldly from Bai Chengfeng and finally landed on Bai Tang.
The girl sat in what was once Bai Chengfeng's chair, her feet propped on the desk, her slouching posture utterly arrogant.
And the smirk on her lips—it just begged to be punched.
He had worried she might get hurt coming to see Bai Chengfeng, but now it seemed the one getting hurt was Bai Chengfeng, whose face was turning green with rage.
Sheng Qi raised an eyebrow. Quite capable, huh.
"Chairman Bai, I'm here for her," Sheng Qi said, his tone cold and distant.
The smile on Bai Chengfeng's face instantly froze, and his expression toward Bai Tang turned even uglier.
Especially when Bai Tang shot him a provocative grin, it sent Bai Chengfeng storming out.
The secretary, awkward, quickly left as well, closing the door behind her.
News of the upheaval at Bai Corporation exploded in the company group chat.
Meanwhile, in the chairman's office, Sheng Qi stared expressionlessly at the girl and asked, "What's going on?"
"What are you referring to?" Bai Tang put her legs down, sitting up straight and proper.
In front of a beauty, she still needed to maintain some image.
"About you getting expelled from school," Sheng Qi said.
Bai Tang blinked, her eyes sparkling with a smile. "I thought you were asking why I'm sitting here."
"So why are you sitting here?" Sheng Qi asked.
Bai Tang grinned, replying calmly and teasingly, "Because I want to be a domineering CEO and spoil my beauty."
