293 Hiring
After Lin Lang finished speaking, he no longer cared about everyone’s reaction. He put his hands behind his back and slowly left the conference room. The shareholders followed closely behind and left the meeting room.
“Principal, is this new board member related to Chu Ning? Chu Ning is on leave these two days.” After all the shareholders had left the meeting room, a school leader suddenly spoke up.
Cao Bo glanced at the school leader who had spoken.
“If you had 50 million, would you still work?” Cao Bo said indifferently.
“No,” the school leader said matter-of-factly.
“Right? if you have so much money, you won’t work because you know that even if you work hard for ten lifetimes, you won’t be able to earn that much money. 50 million! Not 5, 50! It’s so powerful that we don’t have to pander to others nor work for them anymore. It’s even possible to buy our lives!” After saying this, Cao Bo left as well.
He couldn’t be bothered to explain too much to this school leader. There was no need.
“I was just asking. Why are you so angry? I know it’s impossible.” The school leader mumbled to himself and left with the rest.
On the other side, at Jinghu District, Chu Ning was packing her clothes on the second floor.
Chu Ning folded the school uniforms and placed them at the bottom of her wardrobe. Although she would not be wearing them in the future, she still kept them as a memento.
The afternoon bidding conference was about to begin. She felt that she didn’t have to prepare anything. The amount in her bank card was her biggest confidence.
They had to get that building. It was of great significance to Chu Ning and her Soaring Clouds Group.
Chu Ning chose a silver-gray dress, put on some makeup, and left.
The Rolls-Royce was still at the repair shop, so she had to take a taxi.
“Hey, beautiful. Are you going to the city center to attend some event?” After she had gotten into the car, the driver began to chat with Chu Ning. It was very relaxing to chat with a beautiful woman.
“No.” Chu Ning didn’t really feel like talking. She was disgusted by the greasy and perverted looks that the driver was giving her.
“Okay, I thought you were a model. You have such good qualities and you’re pretty,” the driver said with slight regret.
“Thank you for the compliment.” Chu Ning was too lazy to explain. After all, she didn’t look like a multi-millionaire. If she were to tell the truth, people would think that she was talking nonsense.
Soon, they arrived at their destination. Chu Ning looked up at the building in front of her and squinted her eyes.
It was 12:20 pm, 40 minutes earlier than the time agreed upon by the owner of the building. However, when Chu Ning appeared in the meeting room, there were already quite a number people there. It seemed that many people were even more anxious than her.
“Yes, beautiful. You are?” The middle-aged man closest to the door of the meeting room asked somewhat suspiciously. He was wearing a thick gold chain around his neck and holding a lit cigarette. Chu Ning’s appearance had interrupted his conversation with the others.
“The same as you.” Chu Ning casually pulled out the nearest chair and said calmly.
“No way, beautiful, you have such strength?”
“Hmph, you’re just born with good complexion. You’re pretty and young. Can’t you just be a rich second generation? Why did you come here to ruin our good situation?”
“Tsk, tsk, how novel. Since when did a girl in her twenties have the right to compete with us? Is the world changing too fast, or are we too old to keep up with the times?”
After Chu Ning finished speaking, the remaining people in the meeting room spoke up.
“How many floors do you want to rent? I want everything from the first to the tenth floor. As for the higher floors, you guys can go ahead and fight for them.” Chu Ning didn’t care about the mockery in their words. She knew that they were rich and had a certain status in M City, but she was sure that they were not as rich as she was.
“Young lady, you’re so young, but your tone is very arrogant!” Someone immediately replied in an enigmatic tone.
“Ignore her. Maybe she’s here to cause trouble.” Another person chimed in.
Seeing the scene before her, Chu Ning did not plan to say anything further. She simply lowered her head and played with her phone. However, the mysterious owner of the building still did not appear when it was close to 12:50 pm.
“Don’t tell me he’ll be late again.” Chu Ning couldn’t help but think of the last time when Zhang Quan and the others were late. Those people were badly subdued by her. Chu Ning continued to wait.
“This guy isn’t playing with us, right?”
“I’ll wait a little longer. After all, we are the ones who need his help.”
It was almost two o’clock, but the owner of the building still hadn’t appeared.
