Translator: 549690339
On July 22nd, Shenzhou Group and Zhu Group, together with Tianheng Garden project, held a signing ceremony!
On this day, a girl named Zhu Mingjing entered the public eye for the first time in many peopleâs memory.
At eight oâclock sharp, Mingjing appeared at Zhu Group, accompanied by a barrage of media and Zhu Groupâs executives, entered the group building.
âMiss, youâve worked hard. Itâs thanks to you that we were able to sign with Shenzhou Group.â
The bald middle-aged man walking beside Mingjing is Ding Wei, the director of the groupâs project department, who is hosting the signing ceremony this time.
The other executives behind them heard this and rolled their eyes. They didnât know who had said behind the scenes that Miss was just an inexperienced girl and that the heavens wanted to destroy Zhu Group. Now theyâre all flattering her without a care for their dignity.
As long as they could cooperate with Shenzhou Group, they didnât need dignity â they wouldnât even need their asses.
Mingjing asked indifferently, âAre all the arrangements for the signing ceremony in place?â âEverything is arranged, Miss. Do you have any other instructions?â
âWhere is Uncle Zhang?â
âManager Zhang is getting old; he generally doesnât come to the company if itâs not for the board of directorsâ¦â
âMiss.â Mr. Zhang came over with the help of his grandson, leaning on his cane and smiling, âToday is a good day, how could I not be here? Although Iâm just an old man, I can still hold my ground.â
Mingjing smiled slightly: âUncle Zhang, thank you.â
The old manâs name is Zhang Shuda. His own family had been engaged in seafaring and trade in Jiangzhou for generations. When Zhu Wentao started his business, Zhang Shuda was very optimistic about this young man and invested in him. Over the years, Zhang Shuda never interfered with the companyâs management and only focused on being a shareholder. However, his position in the company was not ordinary. If it were not for his declining energy, Mr. Li would not dare to even fart in front of him. Even Zhu Wentao was obedient in front of him.
Zhang Shuda pointed to the young man by his side and said with a smile, âMiss, this is my good-for-nothing grandson, Zhang Zhihe. I brought him here to gain some experience. I hope Miss wonât mind.â
Zhang Zhihe was in his early twenties, with fair skin and a refined appearance.
Upon seeing Mingjing, he immediately looked away shyly.
Mingjing glanced at him lightly: âA man with a womanâs appearance is destined for wealth and success. Mr. Zhang has good luck.â
âHahaha, I heard that Miss has the ability to read peopleâs faces. Now that youâve said this, I, as an old man, can rest assured.â
Zhang Zhihe sneaked a peek at Mingjing. Others always talked about his mother, but this was the first time someone said his looks brought good fortune. It felt quite bizarre.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar face in the crowd. When everyone was walking in, he quietly moved to that personâs side.
âHow did you end up here?â
Du Ze said with a straight face: âI am now Miss Zhuâs driver and assistant.â
Zhang Zhihe widened his eyes: âIs everything they say true? With your education and abilities, why would you do such a thing?â
A driver and an assistant? How could these roles ever match the demeanor of a top student from Jiangzhou Universityâs Business School?
Shouldnât he have either successfully applied for a research position or joined a big company for experience? How could he be serving as a driver for a sixteen-year-old girl?
What a waste of talent, itâs a crime to nature. God knows how people in the school group ridiculed Du Ze when they heard about it. He thought everyone was spreading rumors. How could the proud Du Ze take on such a job?
Du Zeâs expression didnât change at all. This was the first thing he learned from Miss Zhu: donât let anyone see through your emotions.
âEveryone has their own pursuits. Miss Zhu is a great boss. From her, I can learn a lot of things. Besides, I advise you not to look down on Miss Zhu because of her young age. Your grandfather does a great job of that.â
After finishing speaking, he ignored Zhang Zhihe and quickly caught up with Mingjing.
Zhang Zhihe scratched his head in confusion: âHe really went crazyâ¦â
At the signing site, due to the presence of a media Q&A session, the media would communicate with the companyâs PR department in advance about what questions they would ask. The PR department would then prepare answers based on the bossâs preferences, and the boss would memorize them. But now, the new boss Sun Yuan, the director of the PR department, still could not figure out Miss Zhuâs temperament, so he secretly pulled Ding Wei aside.
âDoes Miss have a good temper?â Sun Yuan asked.
âItâs good if you say itâs good, and itâs not good if you say itâs not good,â Ding Wei said hesitantly.
âIsnât that the same as not saying anything? I have these media questions for the boss to review.. Miss wonât blame us for bothering her with such trivial matters, right?â
