Most of those who spoke were middle-aged men of a slightly younger generation.
Most of those standing silent were already over fifty years old.
"Chairman Lin hasn't shown up yet, Lin Xinrui, shouldn't you hurry up and get in touch with your dad! Don't tell me you can't find him!"
A man with a crew cut said to Lin Xinrui.
Lin Xinrui looked at him expressionlessly, without uttering a word.
The speaker was named Lin Shaoda, a distant relative of Lin Xinrui. He is considered young and promising, having made it to the board of directors just after becoming a grown man.
"I already tried to find him not long ago, but he didn't show up, nor did he reply to me!" Lin Xinrui replied.
"Are you kidding me? You're trying to fool me around! I bet this is a trick of you and your dad!" Lin Shaoda said angrily.
What Lin Xinrui couldn't stand the most was when others badmouthed the people she cared about. When Lin Shaoda spoke so blatantly, Xinrui got furious instantly.
