Chapter 767: It Doesn’t Belong To You (1)

Before Qiao Chu even opened the last small white envelope, many directors had already begun to smile and congratulate Zuo An. “Congratulations, Deputy… No, it should be President Zuo.”
“President Zuo, you’re young and promising. You have a bright future ahead of you. Congratulations.”
“President Zuo, we will follow you loyally from now on!”
Zuo An smiled faintly. His smile was distant and cold. There was still a hint of arrogance between his brows.
Zuo Si had never liked him. When she saw him acting like this, she mocked him without holding back, “Until the last moment, it’s not certain who will win or lose. You guys are rushing to curry favor him. If I get promoted later, remember that we, women, hold grudges very well.”
Although the group of directors didn’t think that Zuo Si could still make a comeback in the end, they were all experienced and very crafty. Thus, they wouldn’t offend Zuo Si.
They all smiled embarrassedly and shut up.
As they were speaking, Qiao Chu had already opened the last envelope and pulled out the card.
He hadn’t even looked at the card but the hand holding the pen had already moved under Zuo An’s name. When he was about to swipe it out of habit, he caught a glimpse of the nomination on the small card. His black eyes suddenly widened with a trace of disbelief.
He wondered if he had seen wrongly so he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he still saw the beautiful handwriting on the card with a name neatly written: Zuo Si.
After confirming it, he subconsciously looked at the signature at the bottom right corner of the card. His pupils suddenly constricted. There was just a trace of disbelief in his gaze a moment ago, but now, it was filled with disbelief.
Everyone saw Qiao Chu’s emotional changes. Seeing that he didn’t say anything for a while as if he had been hit by something, they couldn’t help but look at each other. They could see confusion in each other’s eyes.
What was wrong with Assistant Qiao? What was written on the card that made him, who had always been calm and expressionless, reacted so vividly?
Zuo Si smiled and leaned back in her chair.
Xu Weilai casually played with the pen in her hand as if the atmosphere in the meeting room didn’t affect her at all.
Zuo An turned his head and glanced at Xu Weilai. The glimmer in his eyes dimmed. He opened his mouth and said coldly, “Qiao Chu, continue.”
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Qiao Chu quickly recovered his composure. He took a deep breath secretly. The hand holding the pen moved stiffly from below Zuo An’s name to Zuo Si’s name. Bit by bit, according to the number of shares held by the card holder, he added each stroke.
As the strokes continued to stack up, the expressions of the directors also began to change.
The distance between Zuo Si and Zuo An became smaller and smaller. In the end… it was even…
This result caused the large conference room to instantly become silent.
Who would have thought… that Zuo Si would actually be able to overtake him on a bend even though they had already pulled such a big distance apart? No, she didn’t overtake him but she still managed to catch up.
So, which director was the one who did this? Wasn’t this calculation… a little too accurate?
How could their votes be equal?
If the vote was tied, this round of voting would definitely be nullified. There would either be an overtime match or the previous result would be maintained.
In other words, if they couldn’t choose a new CEO that everyone unanimously approved, they would choose another one. If they didn’t agree, then the original result would be maintained temporarily. This meant that the CEO position would still belong to Gu Yu!
