“Alright, as for matters related to work, I’ll stop here for now. The more specific details can be discussed at the meeting table. Of course, aside from this matter, there is another personal issue.”
At this point, Yi Lingjun said with a slight smile, “It’s about my daughter.”
With Yi Lingjun’s words, everyone present was surprised.
Although Chairman Yi had never married, and there were no known relationships with any women, there had always been rumors that Yi Lingjun had a beloved daughter.
Of course, no one had ever delved into the matter of Chairman Yi’s daughter; after all, rumors were just rumors.
Yin Yueran looked at Yi Lingjun and said, “There were rumors in the past that Chairman Yi had a daughter, but I never thought it was true.”
After all, Yi Lingjun had never married, and no one dared to ask him about such rumors. Doing so would be like falsely accusing the Chairman of the Arbitration Association of something he didn’t do.
Siyehan seemed to be deep in thought. He had visited Yi Lingjun some time ago, and Yi Lingjun had voluntarily mentioned some details about his daughter.
As for Yewanwan, there was no expression on her face, but she was already annoyed in her heart.
If it weren’t for Yi Lingjun releasing this news himself, who could have learned about his privacy?
“Hehe,” Yi Lingjun smiled faintly, “I sent my daughter abroad from a young age, and she has been developing her career abroad. She has achieved some success abroad. However, we had some small conflicts in the past, and we haven’t been in contact for many years. Now that the conflicts are resolved, we can finally reunite. After all, my daughter can’t do without her father. She has missed me all these years while being so far away, and as a father, I naturally hope my daughter can return to her hometown and stay by my side.”
Yewanwan: “…” The old man really has a talent for making up stories.
“What Chairman Yi means is…”
Upon hearing this, a certain high-ranking individual seemed to be deep in thought. Chairman Yi’s words might seem ordinary, but they were not.
His emphasis was on how much he valued his daughter, and the fact that his daughter had achieved great success.
In this setting, such praise of his own daughter, showcasing her like this, might mean that he intends to groom her to take over the Arbitration Association.
Deputy Chairman Qin’s expression was slightly uncomfortable.
Within the Arbitration Association, Yi Lingjun was undoubtedly the top figure, representing absolute power, and he was the second-in-command. If Yi Lingjun were to step down, there was a chance for him to ascend to the Chairman’s position.
However, now, with Yi Lingjun suddenly calling his daughter back from abroad and saying these things, even a fool could see that Yi Lingjun might be planning to have his daughter take over his position in the future.
Although each Chairman was selected by the higher-ups, if Yi Lingjun were willing, with his influence and reputation, he could easily have his daughter elected as the next Chairman.
After some contemplation, Deputy Chairman Qin’s expression returned to normal.
This was just his own speculation; it might not necessarily be the truth. It’s also possible that Chairman Yi simply wanted to announce the existence of his daughter.
Qin Xiyuan looked at Yi Lingjun and quickly asked, “Chairman, you actually have a daughter… I wonder where she is and if she has come to this banquet?” Chairman’s daughter was someone she had to pay attention to, and she needed to make connections.
