From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 228 - 228: 109 Night Wind (First Watch of the Night)_2

From this angle, it seemed as if the entire city was being trampled underfoot, and perhaps it was in this way that Zhu Wentao’s ambitions and desires grew bit by bit.

Du Ze quietly stood to one side, catching a glimpse of a white skirt from the corner of his eye.

The light and pure white color was also the deepest and most unfathomable abyss.

Ding-a-ling, the sound of a cell phone ringing broke the silence in the office.

Du Ze walked over to pick up the cell phone on the desk and handed it to Ming Jing.

A moment later, he saw a strange curve in the corner of the young girl’s mouth: “The fish are hooked.”

News that the young lady had assigned the Spring Academy project to Tao Xianxian alone spread instantly throughout the project department, sparking rumors.

Everyone found it unbelievable. Only those above the manager level could take charge of a project alone, and there were at least seven or eight managers in the project department, so how could it be the intern Tao Xianxian’s turn?

Why did the young lady trust her so much?

However, everyone was merely shocked and did not hold out much hope.

The Spring Academy project had been halted long ago, and the company had suffered heavy losses on it. Now, Ye Group had taken over the grandiose project, but it was said that the debt issues were still being negotiated. In any case, this was a thankless task that nobody wanted to take on.

Was the young lady trying to bully Tao Xianxian, the intern, into submission?

Yang Lin worriedly said, “Xianxian, why did you accept it? This project is nothing but a hot potato. Ye Group won’t care about us at all.”

Tao Xianxian smiled, “Sister Yang, the young lady trusts me, so I must do my

best.”

Yang Lin’s lips quivered, wanting to say that the young lady might be using her to establish her authority but thought better of it and closed her mouth. It would be troublesome if that got back to the young lady.

Even the manager with wandering hands came over to taunt her a few times.

Since nobody had any faith in her, Tao Xianxian’s fighting spirit burned even fiercer.

She went to Ye Group and tried to meet the project manager, but was rejected directly by the receptionist because she had no appointment. Tao Xianxian waited in the lobby for a long time, holding her prepared proposal, until she caught sight of the manager and rushed over.

The person listened to her intentions and categorically refused, leaving in a hurry.

After three days without any results, even Yang Lin couldn’t be bothered to tease her anymore.

On this day, Tao Xianxian waited for another day and was once again rejected by the manager. Seeing her so persistent, the manager couldn’t help but remind her, “Miss, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. This project has been evaluated by a professional team, and the risks are too high. This is not in line with our company’s policies. So, please go back and don’t waste your efforts.” “What is our company’s policy?” A calm question suddenly came from behind. The manager’s face turned white, “President Ye.”

Tao Xianxian turned her head and saw a well-dressed man in his forties with a dignified face standing not far away. His gaze was commanding yet not angry. Two people followed behind him, one of whom appeared to be a secretary, while the other was a young man who resembled him but seemed even more spirited. At this moment, the young man was appraising her face with curiosity.

In a flash, Tao Xianxian recognized the middle-aged man in his forties as Ye Zheng, the president of Ye Group, and the young man should be his son, Ye Sheng.

“What is our company’s policy?” Ye Zheng asked again.

The manager replied trembling, “People-oriented, honest management, abiding by the law, and being honest and upright.”

“So you do know.”

The manager’s face turned even paler.

Tao Xianxian seized the opportunity and said, “President Ye, hello. I am the person in charge of the Spring Academy project of Zhu Group. I am here today to discuss the restart plan of the Spring Academy project with you. This is the project proposal, please take a look.”

Tao Xianxian finished her speech in one breath and immediately handed over the proposal with both hands.

Ye Zheng glanced at her, “The Zhus?”

Ye Sheng smirked, “That young girl from the Zhu family really knows how to use people. She hasn’t even graduated from university, has she?”

Tao Xianxian quickly introduced herself, “1 graduated from Jiangzhou University’s School of Finance and Management with excellent grades. I am currently the person in charge of the Spring Academy project of Zhu Group.”

“So you’re a senior. No wonder you looked so familiar,” Ye Sheng smiled as he stroked his chin.

Ye Zheng took the proposal and flipped through it briefly before saying to Tao

Xianxian, “I have a meeting later. Come to the company tomorrow.”

Tao Xianxian was overjoyed, “Thank you, President Ye.”

Ye Zheng shook his head, “Don’t be too happy just yet. It’s still not certain whether this project can be restarted..”
