“So, you’re Si Fuqing,” the elder known as Uncle Qi said sharply. ‘We clearly remember your statements online.”

“Predicting the fall of the Pei Corporation within five days, and now showing up at this moment, are you here to gloat?”

He was well aware of some of Si Fuqing’s past — adopted by the Zuo family, a small-time actress with no education, a mere pretty face.

“It depends on what you decide,” Si Fuqing replied with a smile. “Do you want to live or die?”

Her words incited anger among the attendees.

“Pei Yan, what are you playing at?” Pei Xu sneered. “With the company in such turmoil under your leadership, you bring an outsider to show off. Are you planning to hand over the Pei Corporation?”

Before Pei Yan could respond, Pei Xu quickly added, “Uncle Qi, as a shareholder, I demand the removal of Pei Yan as chairman and Yang Huizhu as general manager!”

Pei Yan’s expression darkened, “Pei Xu, you don’t have the authority.”

He and his wife had suspected Pei Xu as one of the culprits behind the curse on their family.

Pei Xu’s agitation only added to their suspicions.

“Pei Yan, the old master passed the chairman position to you, believing in your capabilities,” Uncle Qi spoke evenly. “But you can see now that you’re no longer fit for the role. It’s time to step down.”

“The company isn’t beyond saving,” Pei Yan calmed himself. “I’m close to securing an investment from RS in the Muston Dukedom. Once they inject capital, the company can revive.”

But this was just a facade for the Pei family.

Pei Yan and his wife knew that the company’s dire state was due to a curse. Had it not been for their ancestral jades protecting them, their family would have been long gone.

Hearing RS mentioned, Si Fuqing’s eyes lifted.

The Pei family ran a pharmaceutical group, so despite not being well-known, they had plenty of assets.

She hadn’t realized her sixth senior brother’s business had expanded to this extent.

Three years had brought substantial changes.

Her sixth senior brother was now selling drugs.

“Pei Yan, such words are of no use now,” Uncle Qi remained unmoved. “How many families in Sijiu City have sought RS’s investment to no avail? Unless you’ve already signed a contract.”

Pei Yan remained silent.

RS, the leading conglomerate of the Western Continent, directly managed by the Muston Dukedom’s royal family.

Securing a connection with RS Group would open doors to the Muston Dukedom’s royal family, and in turn, unlock the vast market of the Western Continent.

It was the necessary step for the family business to break into the international market.

“This was the plan we discussed before you arrived,” Uncle Qi handed a document to Pei Yan. “Just sign it.”

Pei Yan looked at the agreement, his expression growing more severe.

The contract clearly stated that if the Pei Corporation couldn’t revive within a week, Pei Yan would not only lose his chairman position but also surrender all his shares.

This was akin to banishment from the Pei family.

“Just sign it, Big Brother,” Pei Xu mocked. “You caused this mess, you should take responsibility.”

Pei Yan clenched the paper, his gaze turning cold.

How could he possibly sign this?

The room fell silent, with the shareholders waiting for Pei Yan’s decision.

Then, Si Fuqing stood up, leaning on the table with one hand and casually flipping her hair with the other, stating indifferently, “Sign.” Her single word drew everyone’s astonished gaze back to her.

Pei Yan was also bewildered.

“I’m sorry, Miss Si, but you have no say in this matter,” Pei Xu laughed again. “You’re not a Pei, you don’t understand the rules of business, and besides, just because you say Pei Yan should sign, it doesn’t mean—I‘

Pei Xu’s words abruptly ceased..
