Chapter 1769: To Take on the Role of Xiao Corporation’s Chairman

Chu Jingnan was not surprised that the Xiao Family was fully supportive of him taking on the role of the chairman in the corporation, or rather, this was part of his calculations.

He was clear about the doubts and guardedness that the Xiao Family had about him, but it did not matter right now as, at that moment, the Xiao Family depended on him to handle the board of directors and deal with the shareholders, to pull them out from this period of crisis.

As for him, even though he knew that the Xiao Family had something against him and caused conflicts between the shareholders, he did not mind as his ultimate goal was to take control of Xiao Corporation step by step and ultimately have the entire Xiao Corporation under him. Xiao Family’s action was beneficial to him.

To cut the long story short, they were just making use of each other.

In the end, all they were competing about was simply who was more clever.

He had Xia Ruya’s full support and backing, how would a mere Xiao Zhiyuan be able to compete with him?

Today, the only person who could take on the role of Xiao Corporation’s Chairman was him.

Even if the shareholders were unhappy about it, so what?

As of today, Xiao Family held fifty-three percent of the Xiao Family’s shares, and this was enough to be the one in charge amongst the shareholders. Also, the rest of the shareholders would not be aligned as they were all looking out for their personal benefits, and they would just be in a state of disunity, unable to hold their own ground against the Xiao Family.

“Congratulations to you for taking on the role of Xiao Corporation’s Chairman.” Xia Ruya held her glass wine towards him and made a toast, where the clear and crisp sound of the glasses knocking sounded.

To support Chu Jingnan to acquire Xiao Corporation was one of the best decisions she ever made.

Chu Jingnan had his way with things, and in a short amount of time, he became the chairman of Xiao Corporation, becoming one step closer to being in full control of Xiao Corporation.

Chu Jingnan was in a lead-gray suit, which made him look classy and elegant. “If you did not acquire the four percent of Xiao Corporation shares earlier on and placed the Xiao Family in such a position, this move would not have been so successful.”

To take on the role of Xiao Corporation’s chairman made Chu Jingnan gleeful and happy, as not many in the world could be like him, to be so successful in such a short amount of time.

“Hehe! Next, we will be in control of the entire Xiao Corporation! Are you happy?”

Xia Ruya placed herself into his embrace, and using pink stained fingernails, she playfully touched his chest and put her fingers into his shirt from the side of his buttons.

Chu Jingnan let her be and simply raised his eyebrows. “Of course I am happy. Xiao Family saw see me as a failure and sent me overseas. Since then, I have sworn to myself to take revenge. Today, you’ve helped me achieve my goal, so how do you want me to return this favor?”

Today, he made it.

Although he had yet to be in full control of the entire Xiao Corporation, he already had Old Mr. Xiao and Xiao Zhiyuan under his thumb.

He thought about earlier on when he visited the hospital with Xiao Zhiyuan after the board of directors meeting. Xiao Zhiyuan had a face full of disappointment, and Old Mr. Xiao, due to his stroke, was lying on the hospital bed, unable to speak clearly. In his heart, he was secretly very happy.

At the start, when his status as Xiao Family’s illegitimate child was exposed, Old Mr. Xiao was high above him and did not care about him at all, and Xiao Zhiyuan was cold and distant. The image of them abandoning him was etched in his mind.

Yet, he was no longer the Chu Jingnan that other people could mess with.

Xia Ruya’s bright red lips went to Chu Jingnan’s ear and gently breathed into it. “How about using your body to repay the favor?”

Chu Jingnan was smart and ambitious, which she admired. Over this period of working with him, they pitted their wits and courage and ultimately grew close due to the benefits that it brought to both of them.

What truly made Xia Ruya interested was that Chu Jingnan was a mysterious man who she could not see through.

On one hand, he seemed to be obsessed with Wen Xinya, but on the other, he flirted with her.

Because of Wen Xinya, she felt a pang of competitiveness and always flirted with Chu Jingnan, to see whether his loyalty to Wen Xinya would waver under her.

However, Chu Jingnan simply maintained a little bit of flirting, not rejecting her, but not initiating anything either.

Such a feeling was the most mysterious and tempting between a man and a woman, and thus, she wanted it more the more she flirted with him. Over time, she decided that she wanted to advance further with him.

This was regardless of Wen Xinya.

This was entirely due to her interest in him.

“Why not?” Chu Jingnan did not reject her. He put his hand behind Xia Ruya’s head and kissed her passionately and intensely.

Xia Ruya was stunned for a moment but reacted quickly and passionately kissed him back.

Soon, she could feel the changes in Chu Jingnan’s body.

This kiss felt as long as a century.

Xia Ruya panted and leaned on Chu Jingnan. “You… ate the wrong thing today?”

Actually, when she mentioned using his body to repay her, she did not expect him to agree, as Chu Jingnan was just like a monk the past few years and had no desires to show for.

Thus, his passionate reply led her to disbelief.

Chu Jingnan slid his hands under Xia Ruya’s skirt and said in a low and seductive tone, “It’s the right time now.”

He could pretend that nothing was wrong.

But he was no saint.

Xia Ruya was beautiful and had a nice body. How could he resist such a sexy individual?

He was truly obsessed with Wen Xinya, but it did not mean that he would keep his body for her. Men and women had differing views on love and sex, and he was no different.

Xia Ruya did not expect that he was such an expert at flirting and could not resist asking, “What do you mean?”

Chu Jingnan chuckled. “Even if I’m no good, I’m still not an object of competition between you and Wen Xinya.”

Xia Ruya used to flirt with him to prove that she was no less attractive than Wen Xinya because she knew how he felt towards Wen Xinya.

He was cold and sat on the fence, not rejecting her advances but not initiating anything either.

And this caused her to want him even more. Thus, her interest in him grew slowly over time. He was clearly enjoying the process of getting her to fall in love with him.

Xia Ruya suddenly realized and could not help but gently hit his chest. “Sweetheart, I did not know that you were so calculative. You were clearly playing with my feelings for me to fall harder for you.”

Xia Ruya felt that it was a little unfair.

She did not think that in this game of conquering, she was the one who ended up being conquered.

Yet, she was secretly really excited inside, as only these kind of men could match up to her, Xia Ruya.

Chu Jingnan’s attributes were not exactly the best, and with her, how would he not be a match to a man like Ninth Si?

“Same, same!” Chu Jingnan ambiguously said as the body that he had been thinking of for the past few years was here for him to enjoy right now, and he was too excited to hold back.

Xia Ruya’s body truly excited and interested him.
