Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 810 - 829: Rocky’s Self-Sacrifice
As the conversation reached this point, Rocky deliberately kept them in suspense. Once the crowd began to show impatience, his deep-set eyes turned towards the entrance of the banquet hall. By then, several bodyguards had seemingly appeared beside the woman with the graceful stance.
The deep male voice from the stage continuously echoed in everyone’s ears, preventing the guests present from hearing a shocking truth.
"Now, let’s welcome the new president of Nanqi Group, Miss Lin Annan, with a warm round of applause. As you might know, I graduated from Harvard Business School, and Miss Lin Annan is my junior from there. She is also the youngest master’s student at Harvard University. Many of you might be aware of my Wall Street experience, and I suppose you’re more curious about why I chose to stay in B City rather than Wall Street. I can finally reveal the reason today: it was because I lost a financial bet with Miss Lin Annan back then, and as a result, I must work for Miss Lin without compensation."
A series of earth-shattering revelations were just impossible to absorb.
Especially An Ruiyang, whose expression was the worst. He sternly rebuked Xi Xilan by his side, "Wasn’t she attending a flight school? How did she become the youngest master’s student at Harvard University?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Xi Xilan looked equally innocent while being questioned, "Dad, I don’t know. The news from the United States back then wasn’t like this at all."
Originally, everyone thought Lin Annan was just a figurehead, with Rocky handling all company affairs. Who would have thought she was the real mastermind pulling the strings? It was truly a case of a hidden talent beneath a humble exterior.
Xi Xilan glared intently at Lin Annan, watching her approach the stage, her gaze obscure.
Surrounded by bodyguards, An Nan had already reached the stage. She first initiated a mutual hug with Rocky, then gently whispered two words in his ear: "Thank you."
In fact, this man did not at all need to sacrifice his own reputation to magnify hers.
Rocky’s smile remained serenely curved, and in a flash, he released the person from his embrace. He then handed over the microphone in his hand: "The stage is yours now. Believe in yourself; you can do it, hang in there."
An Nan nodded resolutely, fully aware that this hard-fought battle was just beginning.
As she turned around, her face and eyes returned to their previous determination. She calmly met everyone’s gaze while slowly speaking into the microphone in her hand: "Thank you all for braving the cold to stand here. Although Mr. Luo has already introduced me, I feel out of respect for everyone, I should still introduce myself personally. Hello everyone, my name is Lin Annan. My father is called An Yuan, and my mother is Lin Qi. Nanqi Group is named after the last character in my mother’s and my name. As for the precursor to Nanqi Group, which I’m sure is unfamiliar to many, it was left to my mother by my grandfather."
"You’re lying."
An Nan hadn’t finished speaking when An Yuya’s angry outburst intervened from below the stage.
The crowd naturally made way, allowing An Yuya to reach the front of the stage, where she confronted An Nan from below.
An Yuya’s appearance was entirely within An Nan’s expectations, though she hadn’t anticipated the woman would be so impatient, losing her temper so easily.
