Chapter 211 - 211: 101 Era (Part One)
On this day, a girl named Zhu Mingjing entered the public eye for the first time in many people’s memory.
At eight o’clock sharp, Mingjing appeared at Zhu Group, accompanied by a barrage of media and Zhu Group’s executives, entered the group building.
“Miss, you’ve worked hard. It’s thanks to you that we were able to sign with Shenzhou Group.”
The bald middle-aged man walking beside Mingjing is Ding Wei, the director of the group’s project department, who is hosting the signing ceremony this time.
The other executives behind them heard this and rolled their eyes. They didn’t know who had said behind the scenes that Miss was just an inexperienced girl and that the heavens wanted to destroy Zhu Group. Now they’re all flattering her without a care for their dignity.
As long as they could cooperate with Shenzhou Group, they didn’t need dignity – they wouldn’t even need their asses.
Mingjing asked indifferently, “Are all the arrangements for the signing ceremony in place?” “Everything is arranged, Miss. Do you have any other instructions?”
“Where is Uncle Zhang?”
“Manager Zhang is getting old; he generally doesn’t come to the company if it’s not for the board of directors…”
“Miss.” Mr. Zhang came over with the help of his grandson, leaning on his cane and smiling, “Today is a good day, how could I not be here? Although I’m just an old man, I can still hold my ground.”
Mingjing smiled slightly: “Uncle Zhang, thank you.’
The old man’s 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 company’s 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, “Miss, this is my good-for-nothing grandson, Zhang Zhihe. I brought him here to gain some experience. I hope Miss won’t mind.”
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: “A man with a woman’s appearance is destined for wealth and success. Mr. Zhang has good luck.”
“Hahaha, I heard that Miss has the ability to read people’s faces. Now that you’ve said this, I, as an old man, can rest assured.”
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 person’s side.
“How did you end up here?”
Du Ze said with a straight face: “I am now Miss Zhu’s driver and assistant.”
Zhang Zhihe widened his eyes: “Is everything they say true? With your education and abilities, why would you do such a thing?”
A driver and an assistant? How could these roles ever match the demeanor of a top student from Jiangzhou University’s Business School?
Shouldn’t 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, it’s 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 Ze’s expression didn’t change at all. This was the first thing he learned from Miss Zhu: don’t let anyone see through your emotions.
“Everyone 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.”
After finishing speaking, he ignored Zhang Zhihe and quickly caught up with Mingjing.
Zhang Zhihe scratched his head in confusion: “He really went crazy…”
At the signing site, due to the presence of a media Q&A session, the media would communicate with the company’s PR department in advance about what questions they would ask. The PR department would then prepare answers based on the boss’s 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 Zhu’s temperament, so he secretly pulled Ding Wei aside.
“Does Miss have a good temper?” Sun Yuan asked.
“It’s good if you say it’s good, and it’s not good if you say it’s not good,” Ding Wei said hesitantly.
“Isn’t that the same as not saying anything? I have these media questions for the boss to review.. Miss won’t blame us for bothering her with such trivial matters, right?”
