From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 226 - 226: 108 Favorable Encounters (Second Watch)

This organization mainly operated in Europe, using financing schemes to defraud funds. They were skilled and left no trace. Five years ago, the bankruptcy of a top 500 global corporation led to a worldwide financial crisis, which was their doing.

Later, they were wanted by police from several countries, and their members scattered and hid deeply. With powerful forces behind them, they had been quiet for years, but surprisingly appeared domestically.

Zhou Ling was one of their members.

Investigation data showed that Zhou Ling joined the organization three years ago. Interestingly, the members of this organization were all graduates of top-tier universities and top talents in their industries, but they took the wrong path, and it was unknown what magic potion the organization had given them. Zhou Ling was no exception. When she returned to China a year ago, any company she entered would go bankrupt within three months.

And Zhu Wentao was her biggest prey in her merit book.

Although she cut ties with the organization neatly, the amount of money she was involved in domestically was enough for her to sit in jail for a lifetime.

The only trouble, for now, was the force behind her…

Ming Jing frowned and thought, not realizing that she had arrived at the company.

As Ming Jing entered the lobby, two receptionists immediately stood up respectfully, “Hello, Little Mr. Zhu.”

When the elevator door slowly closed and Ming Jing was no longer visible, the two became excited and spoke incoherently.

They took out their phones and spoke wildly in the group chat.

—The young lady is here!!!

—The young lady is so beautiful, with such a good temperament, she smiled at me, I have never seen such a gentle and beautiful girl, awsl. After the two spoke, the group erupted in excitement.

—The young lady is yyds.

—What are you abbreviating upstairs? Are you picking on old people who don’t understand internet slang?

—With the young lady here, the air in the company has become fresh. As a corporate slave, my biggest expectation is going to work every day. I love 996, I love the young lady.

—Can being a corporate slave be addictive? They’re all just obsessed with looks, what shallow people…

—Originally thought the company was going to go bankrupt, but when the young lady came, it rejuvenated, and after cooperating with Shenzhou Group, the stock price has been steadily rising, temporarily out of crisis. The young lady is really the lucky star of the group.

—Can I just say it weakly? Mr. Zhu has a chaotic private life and can only tarnish the group’s image. I heard that he was deceived by Secretary Zhou, who is actually a commercial cheater. The young lady brought in the cooperation of Shenzhou Group, and her external image is also very good. Many high-class ladies want to see her but can’t. And she’s a genius and a top student. Such a young lady is the perfect boss for our Zhu Group.

—I second that.

—I second that.

—I second that.

Shh, let’s protect such a good young lady, everyone understands what I mean, right?

Of course they understand, Zhu Wentao’s reputation is already rotten, it’s just that no one blames him out of respect for the young lady. Without the young lady, see if the people’s saliva wouldn’t drown him.

Recently, there have been frequent personnel changes within the company, and those annoying parasites have been cleared out batch by batch. The replacements have all had a good reputation, and people have been cheering and jumping for joy. Deep down, everyone has only admiration for the young lady.

—Has anyone noticed the young lady’s assistant? He’s quite handsome, so everyone better grabs him fast, definitely a high-quality potential stock. Whoever can win him over, I’ll call her granny.

—Forget it, he’s obviously a cool and aloof top student type. He’s with the young lady every day, his eyes have been picky and he won’t pay any attention to us ordinary fans.

— How do we know if we don’t try? Everything is possible.

—I found out, this handsome guy is a 22nd-year graduate of Jiangzhou University, named Du Ze, a top student in the finance department, who received a national first-class scholarship every year. I heard that he was recommended to Jiangzhou University and has a terrifying IQ. Thanks to @Wang Shan Bao Bao for the information.

— Haha, my junior, I heard he’s very capable.

A young girl at an inconspicuous workstation in the project department stared at her phone and fell into thought.

“Xianxian, aren’t you also a graduate of Jiangzhou University? You should also know Du Ze, right? You are of the same class.” Colleague Yang Lin asked.

Tao Xianxian hesitated and pressed her lips tightly.

Seeing her uncomfortable expression, Yang Lin hastily asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Tao Xianxian hurriedly shook her head, “I’m fine.”

She stared blankly at the computer screen.

The project manager walked over and patted Tao Xianxian’s shoulder, whispering, “Xianxian, what are you daydreaming about? Have you finished the proposal for the Spring Academy project? The director is rushing to send it to the young lady for review. You’re an intern, this is your perfect opportunity to show off. If you want to stay full-time, you’d better seize it.”

The man’s breath sprayed on Tao Xianxian’s ear, and she suppressed her disgust, furrowed her eyebrows, and moved away without a word.”l’ll be done soon, Manager, don’t worry.”

The manager smiled and glanced at her, “Show me your best,” then left with his hands behind his back.

Yang Lin spat and leaned over to whisper to Tao Xianxian, “This fat bastard loves to prey on interns like you, especially since you are so pretty. Don’t let him deceive you.”

Tao Xianxian nodded with a pale face, “I understand.”

Ten minutes later, Tao Xianxian handed the project book to the manager, who took the opportunity to touch her hand, almost making her sick.

At this moment, the manager received a phone call and waved at Tao Xianxian, “You take it to the director.”

Tao Xianxian felt as if she had just been pardoned and quickly escaped.

Reaching the director’s office, the assistant said that the director was in a meeting and asked her to take the file upstairs.

Tao Xianxian hurried to the 22nd-floor conference room via the elevator.

In the elevator, she stared blankly at the reflection in the mirror.

What was the meaning of working so hard and living in constant fear?

Just arriving on the 22nd floor, the meeting seemed to have just ended, and the senior executives filed out one by one. Tao Xianxian quickly moved to one side.

As people were almost gone, Director Ding Wei came out with a young girl.

On the day of the signing ceremony, Tao Xianxian had asked for leave due to an emergency.

This was her first time seeing the rumored young lady, and Tao Xianxian was transfixed, feeling vulgar as the so-called “school flower.”

There was a tall figure following the young lady, and when Tao Xianxian saw who it was, she froze.

“What the young lady said is right, our department will follow her idea immediately.” Ding Wei turned his head and saw Tao Xianxian and seemed to remember her.

He waved her to come over.

With a stiff smile, Tao Xianxian approached, “Director Ding, this is the project plan for Spring Academy you requested.”

Ding Wei took it, nodded, and glanced at it. “Well done, what’s your name?”

He remembered this intern’s outstanding performance, and felt that letting her show her face in front of the young lady was an opportunity for her. The young lady loved talented people.

However, the usually smart girl seemed lost in thought at that moment.

Tao Xianxian lowered her head, her voice mosquito-like, “My name is Tao

Xianxian.”

Ding Wei shook his head in disappointment. This girl didn’t seem well-fed and looked so petty, embarrassing herself in front of the young lady.

Ming Jing took the project plan and glanced at it. “This is the plan you made?” Her voice was very gentle, like someone intoxicated by alcohol.

Tao Xianxian raised her head and quickly glanced at the other person. She felt a sense of shame and self-abasement. No matter what kind of woman stood in front of the young lady, they will feel inferior.

How would he look at her now?

Probably with a look of shame, she didn’t expect to meet in such an awkward environment after so long since their breakup.

“Yes, it’s the one I made.”

“This project used to cooperate with Shengda, but after Shengda had an issue, the building project was shelved. Because of the land issue, the situation may be more complicated, so relaunching this project isn’t that simple.” Ding Wei explained on the side.

With the project book in hand, Ming Jing said to the two of them, “You both come to my office.”

After saying this, she left with the assistant.

Ding Wei frowned and scolded Tao Xianxian in a low voice, “What the hell are you doing? Looking like you lost your soul in front of the young lady? Do you want to keep your job?”

Tao Xianxian bit her lip, “I’m sorry, Director Ding, I’ll be more careful.”

Deeply inhaling, Tao Xianxian realized she had let her emotions affect her work.

They had already broken up. Whatever happened, happened. She wanted to become a strong woman like the young lady.

“Although the young lady is young, her abilities cannot be underestimated. If she takes a liking to you in this project, you must seize the opportunity. She loves talent, just don’t forget me then. I remind you of this because I see your potential. Remember that, okay?”

Tao Xianxian nodded, “I understand, Director Ding. I’m grateful for your help.”

Ding Wei finally smiled, “At least you’re not too stupid..”
