Ming Jing’s calm and gentle voice without any emotional fluctuations echoed in the meeting room, and the room fell silent for a while.
Mr. Zhang laughed, “Interesting. Being brought back from the brink of death, I agree with the investigation. Only those with ulterior motives would be afraid of being investigated.” He glanced meaningfully at Mr. Li.
Mr. Li felt like his lungs were about to explode; if he continued to oppose, it would indeed suggest that he had something to hide.
“What’s this financing plan about, Ms. Zhu…?”
“Uncle Zhang, you can call me Ming Jing. Several of our reconstruction projects have come to a standstill due to the withdrawal of investors. Every day of delay causes immeasurable losses to the company. However, good investment companies will no longer consider Zhu Group under our current circumstances. To address this situation, the analysis team has suggested equity financing. As the chairman, I took the lead, offering up 50% of my personal shares for financing. I did this as a precaution, never expecting this day would come.”
Mr. Zhang took a deep look at her, a precaution? It could only be said that she had long foreseen trouble for the Zhu Group. What kind of insight, courage, and resources did she have to purchase scattered shares? This Ms. Zhu is truly unexpected.
“Since Ms. Zhu has taken the lead, I, Old Zhang, can’t be left behind. I’ll also use 50% of my shares for financing. If the company collapses, my shares will be nothing but a pile of waste paper.”
At these words, those who were still perplexed immediately sobered up and raised their hands in agreement.
In the end, everyone looked at Mr. Li who hadn’t committed yet. Mr. Li irritably said, “30%, is that enough? Ms. Zhu, if the financinz fails, have vou thouzht
about the consequences?” Mr. Li asked with a dark tone.
The girl’s eyes were as calm as autumn water as she swept through the room,
“There won’t be a worse situation than the one we’re in now.”
“I hope everyone will fulfill their duties and focus on their responsibilities. The future of Zhu Group is in the hands of each of us.”
“Ms. Zhu…,” someone hesitated, then corrected themselves, “Little Zhu, is Secretary Wang’s arrest related to Mr. Zhu’s? Should we send someone to follow up on the prosecution, to see if there’s anything that needs to be supplemented?”
“Everyone, just focus on your jobs. I will send someone to follow up on Secretary Wang.”
After Ming Jing left the meeting room, everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
“My God, Ms. Zhu is really putting pressure on us. It’s hard to believe she’s only sixteen.”
“Like father, like daughter. Mr. Zhu did an excellent job raising her.”
“What does it have to do with Mr. Zhu? Ms. Zhu has only been in the Zhu family for three months.”
“Ah, I wonder if Zhu Group can survive this crisis.”
With a dark expression, Mr. Li walked out of the meeting room. His assistant approached him and whispered, “Mr. Li, what should we do now? “How can she say anything? I really underestimated her. I’m curious to see what kind of waves she can make.”
News spreads fast these days. Ming Jing hadn’t even left the Zhu Group building before the news of her becoming the chairman had spread to everyone.
Although Zhu Group was teetering on the edge, Ming Jing being only sixteen years old and a girl made people feel incredulous at this news. Even the old foxes on the board can’t do anything against her; others were even more unbelievable.
Those homeowners who just received Ming Jing’s assurance in the morning felt relieved after hearing this news.
Ms. Zhu would definitely not deceive them.
For a time, heated discussions sparked throughout Jiangzhou, centering around Ming Jing and Zhu Group.
At Jiangzhou Airport, a woman wearing sunglasses quickly walked towards the security checkpoint. As she was about to reach the checkpoint, two neatly uniformed men suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Ms. Zhou, please come with us.”
Zhou Ling’s face changed instantly. Many passers-by had turned their attention to them. After all, the uniforms these two men wore made them the center of attention wherever they went.
“Prosecutor comrades, haven’t you made a mistake?”
“Miss Zhou Ling? We’ve got the right person. This is the arrest warrant.” One of the men took out the arrest warrant with a stamped seal and showed it off, decisively capturing Zhou Ling.
With a pale face, Zhou Ling had lost all her elegance and dignity from before, becoming like a rat crossing the street under the finger-pointing and whispers from a crowd of onlookers.
“How can she…?” Zhu Xiangxiang was in disbelief at the various news on the internet.
How can Ming Jing become the chairman? She’s only sixteen!
And at Zhu Group’s most critical moment, she made this decision for her own self-interest.
Zhu Xiangxiang couldn’t tell if she was angry or jealous. All she knew was that she was going insane.
The sound of a car pulling up could be heard outside, and Zhu Xiangxiang looked out the window.
It was Ming Jing’s car.
She gritted her teeth, rushed out of the room, and saw Lin Qing emerging from the bedroom, draped in a printed cashmere pashmina. Lin Qing glanced at Zhu Xiangxiang coldly and went downstairs.
Zhu Xiangxiang followed, ‘Mom, have you seen the news? Ming Jing is the new chairman of the company. How could she do such a thing during the company’s crisis?
“The members of the company’s board of directors are not fools. If they have agreed, it means that Ming Jing has her merits. If you discredit her just because she’s a girl or because of her age, I can understand it as jealousy.”
Zhu Xiangxiang choked, “I’m not jealous. I just think it’s not good for the company…”
“Did you understand the cause and effect? Instead of complaining to me, why not learn more about what Ming Jing did today?”
With that, she ignored Zhu Xiangxiang and went downstairs.
“Sister-in-law.” In the living room downstairs, Zhu Wenjie and Yingying were watching TV with Granny Zhu. Seeing Lin Qing coming down, they greeted her.
Lin Qing nodded coldly and headed to the kitchen for some water.
Zhu Xiangxiang followed her downstairs. Zhu Wenjie smiled, “Xiangxiang, your aunt is thirsty, could you pour her some water?”
Granny Zhu gave her a look, “Don’t you have hands? Yingying, go get your mother some water instead.”
Yingying unhappily pursed her lips, “Let Xiangxiang go, she’s not busy anyway.”
Zhu Xiangxiang gritted her teeth, “I’ll go.”
Zhu Xiangxiang walked out of the kitchen with a glass of warm water in her hand. Zhu Wenjie suddenly jumped to his feet, looking at his phone, “Great! That woman, Zhou Ling, is arrested!”
With a “crash,” the glass in Zhu Xiangxiang’s hand shattered on the ground..
