“The magnificent project was taken over by the Ye Group due to bankruptcy liquidation. The Ye Group has never done business with us before, even had disputes over bidding in the past. In my opinion, it would be safer to abandon this project,” analyzed Ding Wei.

Ming Jing was carefully going through some books, then asked, ‘What do you think?”

Ding Wei turned to Tao Xianxian. Realizing that Ming Jing was asking her, Tao Xianxian hesitated before saying: “Our company had invested a lot in this project in the earlier stage, it would be a loss to give up now. Also, it would affect our trust among the stakeholders. As our lady has just taken office, it is time to win the hearts of the people. This project is an excellent beginning. As the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. As long as there are profits, there’s no reason for the Ye Group to refuse.”

What Ding Wei, the man who doesn’t follow gossip, didn’t know was that Madam Ye’s brother’s case was reversed, actually thanks to the contribution of our new lady. Madam Ye owed her a favor. Based on this point alone, the Ye Group would never refuse to cooperate with the Zhu Group.

Of course, everyone kept this hidden thought to themselves. The business world doesn’t talk about favors, only interests. If the interests coincide with the favors, there is no reason not to benefit from it.

Ming Jing took a look at Tao Xianxian. Tao Xianxian felt a chill in her heart, feeling that her small manipulations were crystal clear under that gaze.

Tao Xianxian stood upright. The large office was very quiet. After a while, the girl’s calm voice broke the silence.

“Can you take responsibility for this project?”

The gentle and polite voice sounded as if she was talking about the beautiful weather today.

However, no one would ignore the power of that sentence.

Tao Xianxian raised her head in shock. The girl was smiling at her, her eyes clear, gentle and determined.

Ding Wei exclaimed: “Miss, she’s just an intern.”

Where would an intern be in charge directly of a project, especially a big one like the Spring Academy?

“When I employ people, I only look at their abilities, not their identities.”

Ming Jing’s words effectively silenced Ding Wei. Despite his reluctance, he had to shut up and glared at Tao Xianxian.

You lucky brat.

Tao Xianxian immediately declared firmly: “Miss, I am capable.”

The young face was full of energy, her eyes bright, her spirit unyielding.

Ming Jing nodded: “Starting from now, you will be in charge of the Spring

Academy project. You can choose your partner. If you need anything, ask Ding

Wei or my assistant directly.”

Tao Xianxian tried to ignore that figure, “Yes, miss, I will not let you down.”

Watching Tao Xianxian’s departure, Ding Wei eagerly said: “Miss, it doesn’t seem appropriate to let an intern be in charge of the Spring Academy project.”

“Who do you think is suitable?” Ming Jing asked back.

Ding Wei was speechless.

He suddenly understood that the new lady wanted to cultivate her own people. Those who have worked in the company for many years and ascended to their positions had their own schemes. For people like Tao Xianxian who is capable but have no foundation, when the lady gives them an opportunity, they will grab it and climb upwards. If they can achieve results, they will convince the others, and be loyal to the lady.

She’s young but her mind is deeper than the sea.

“Has Mr. Li been to the company lately?” Ming Jing asked.

Ding Wei became instantly alert and quickly replied: “I heard his old illness has recurred and he has been resting at home lately.”

Ever since the lady arrived, Mr. Li’s staunch followers have been removed one by one, leaving him almost friendless.

As if remembering something, Ding Wei said: “Today we received a subpoena from the court. Mr. Zhu is facing a lawsuit from Zhou Ling. Does the company need to hire a lawyer…?”

This Zhou Ling actually had the audacity to sue Mr. Zhu. She’s already brought enough harm to him.

“Doesn’t the company employ a legal team? Use them when necessary. Just manage it, Director Ding.”

Ding Wei was dumbfounded. The company’s legal team could manage business cases, but criminal cases were a bit tricky.

He thought the lady would at least consider hiring a good lawyer for Mr. Zhu out of filial piety, but she didn’t seem to care at all.

She’s ruthless, truly ruthless.

Afraid, Ding Wei hastily left. Ming Jing looked around the office. This chairman’s office, once Zhu Wentao’s, was around two hundred square meters, solemn and somber, with black and white decoration.

Ming Jing walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside the giant window, the hustle and bustle of the entire city was revealed before her eyes..
