C8 Eldest Daughterinlaw Bai!

Jiang Songlin stood up after a long pause, sighing helplessly. "Xiaowu, I support you in spirit, and I back Tianbo in establishing its brand. But the company needs to survive, you know. All seven to eight hundred employees are counting on their paychecks to support their families."

At that moment, Xia Xiaowu was taken aback. Wasn't he the one who just promised to support her? How quickly things change—it was all just empty words.

Xia Xiaowu frowned slightly. She had anticipated this outcome, but she wasn't ready to accept it. Xiabo was her father's legacy, the result of so many people's hard work, and now it seemed it would soon change hands.

Everything happened so suddenly, and she wasn't yet capable of stepping into her father's shoes.

Just then, Guu Nuofei suddenly stood up. Xia Xiaowu instinctively thought he was about to start his campaign speech. To her surprise, Guu Nuofei smiled slightly and said calmly, "I support Miss Xia as the new chairperson of Xiabo!"

Everyone was shocked, including Xia Xiaowu. As her competitor, why would he openly support her? Was there some hidden agenda?

"The reason I support Miss Xia is because she makes a lot of sense. We should give young people more opportunities."

Guu Nuofei paused, then turned his gaze to Xia Xiaowu, speaking politely and respectfully: "Miss Xia, I apologize for missing your wedding to Sichen, the eldest son of the Bai family, yesterday. I had other commitments. However, if you could persuade the Bai family to lend their support, you could secure your position as Chairman of Xiabo and achieve your ambitions more quickly. What do you think?"

Though it seemed like a simple courtesy, his words carried multiple implications. On one hand, Guu Nuofei was reminding everyone that Xia Xiaowu was no ordinary person; she was the wife of Bai Sichen, a man capable of wielding significant influence in North City. On the other hand, he was testing whether Xia Xiaowu could convince Bai Sichen to invest in Xiabo.

All eyes turned to Xia Xiaowu, filled with anticipation. She found herself in a difficult position. If she refused, what would people think of her and the Bai family? But if she agreed, would Bai Sichen, a man known for his cold, proud, and prejudiced nature, really help her?

After a long moment of contemplation, Xia Xiaowu decided to play along with Guu Nuofei's plan. Otherwise, if he were elected as Xiabo's Chairman, it would be nearly impossible to remove him from that position in the future.

Never mind, securing the position of chairman is the priority; everything else can wait.

With this in mind, Xia Xiaowu softly said, "The subsidiaries under the Bai family have quite a few businesses in cosmetics, and Sichen wouldn't want to see his father-in-law's hard work go to waste. I think he won't just stand by."

"I also support Miss Xia becoming the new chairman of Xiabo!"

At that moment, a board member standing next to Guu Nuofei also stood up.

"I agree too!"

Another board member rose, and the previously one-sided situation began to shift.

"In that case, let's have a vote."

Guu Nuofei appeared calm and composed, smiling slightly as he said, "Those in favor of Miss Xia, please raise your hand!"
