Chapter 18 - Future Chairman

Shi Lian gives Zhang Hao a tight smile and they both walk behind him. The receptionist is still in awe of Shi Lian, she finds her cool and someone with leadership qualities. They head inside the elevator. Zhang Hao clicks on the 11th floor.

"It is still the same and now it is deteriorated to 14%" Zhang Hao explains. Zheng Yuan does not says anything and walks ahead to his office. Shi Lian looks over Zhang Hao's face and he looks sad. She is unaware of what to do to make them feel at ease but she is determined to work things out sooner.

Mo Zheng Yuan's office is the biggest in the office; it is lavishly decorated and everything is in its right place. Behind the modern cherry wood desk are the big windows which give magnificent views at night. She is stunned to watch the beauty of the décor. She realizes that the desk is the same as the one in her father's home office.

"Let's get down to business," says her father,

"Shi Lian, take a seat." Shi Lian takes a seat on the dark brown chairs which are placed in front of the desk.

"Shi Lian, what colors would you suggest for the spring collection?" Mo Zheng Yuan asks a random question to Shi Lian. He wants to test her and see if she is capable or not.

"About the spring collection?" Shi Lian asks to clarify it; she is confused as to why her father asked such a question. He nods looking at her.

"The bright color palette will be a good choice for Spring. Colors like yellow, baby pink, green and sky blue would be a suitable choice for the particular season. These color dresses will be great for women and for men they should also try with brown color and more accessories" She answers confidently without any hesitations.

Mo Zheng Yuan is very much satisfied with her answer; he was a little surprised by Shi Lian's confidence and eloquence. She looks over at both of them who are looking at her with a smile on their face.

"I knew you are perfect for this" Mo Zheng Yuan gives her a big smile.

'Perfect for what?' Shi Lia thinks about what her father has just said.

"Do you know anything about business? Stocks and all?" he asks another question.

The one thing Shi Lian despises is math; even though she managed to pass every exam but still, math is her weakness.

"Examine this and tell me what is your thought about it," her father passes her a paper from Zhang Hao. Shi Lian takes the paper and what she saw are graphs, numbers, and weird names. It isn't hard to decode but it isn't easy too.

"Take your time" Mo Zheng Yuan says and busies himself with other work with Zhang Hao. Shi Lian examines the sheet carefully. It contains the company's recent drop rate, the shares are declining constantly and it's been going on for a month.

"Father, the company share price is declining rapidly. On Monday, the loss was more than Friday, which is today. If we see in all the four weeks, Monday is the day in which the rates are declining more than any other day. I think we need to put more extra force on Monday and see if it will work o not" Shi Lian explains to both of them after examining the sheet.

Her father is in deep thinking about this and Zhang Hao is in a complete surprise state.

"It's true that on Monday our share rates decline more. Young Miss, you are observant." Zhang Hao compliments her by checking the sheet thoroughly.

"Very good Shi" Zheng Yuan is satisfied with her daughter's potential.

"Zhang, ask Ruxi to come here" he orders him.

"Yes, Chairman." He obeys and goes out to call the vice president, Ruxi.
