Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Because Shen Zongming had agreed to it, he wouldn’t deceive Shen Wan. The following day, nearly all the top executives at Mingda Group beca aware of her appointnt as the president of Mingya Advertising Company.
Opinions on this matter varied, with so praising and others criticizing it.
But overall, it didn’t cause a big stir. Firstly, Mingya wasn’t particularly well-liked, especially in recent years, as it had barely managed to survive with the support of Mingda Group. Secondly, while Shen Wan wasn’t a legitimate heir, she still carried the Shen surna. Giving her a chance to handle a small company wasn’t unreasonable, as long as she didn’t interfere in the core affairs of the group. The board mbers were quite tolerant in this regard.
On Monday, the personnel appointnt notice was officially issued from the group to Mingya, imdiately attracting a crowd of onlookers and discussions that followed.
“Old Wang, our forr president, barely left, and they’ve already picked a replacent. The speed at which the higher-ups acted is quite remarkable!”
“They brought her in directly, which clearly indicates she has strong connections and a solid background. She might even be more challenging to work with than Old Wang. We might be facing a challenging period ahead!” “By the way, what’s the na of the new president?”
“Let see… here it is! Shen… Wan?”
“A woman?!”
“It sounds like it. The key is, her surna is Shen!”
A new intern who didn’t quite understand asked, “What’s the big deal about having the surna Shen?”
“Mingya is a subsidiary of Mingda Group, and the chairman, president, and general manager of the group all have the surna Shen. In ancient tis, it would be considered a ‘Royal Surna,’ a privilege reserved for the imperial family and their relatives. Do you understand now?”
The intern swallowed nervously. “So, you an we have a rich heiress here?”
“Yeah, that’s about right.”
“Oh… I rember Old Wang ntioning that in the main branch of the Shen family, the nas of the descendants typically follow a specific order related to the character ‘W (spring), but it’s not as strict for the grandchildren. However, now that 1 think about it, this President Shen seems to belong to the generation of grandchildren. Have any of us ever heard of soone nad Shen Wan before?”
“Explain it more clearly.”
“Well, I’m just speculating here. It seems like this appointed president may not have a very respectable background…”
“Is it true? I’ve already begun envisioning an elaborate drama involving a wealthy family, brimming with love and revenge!”
“Who knows? It’s written here that the new president will take office tomorrow. We’ll have a chance to et her eventually, so why rush things?”
The next day, all 32 employees of Mingya gathered early and waited in the conference room.
At exactly 8 a.m., the sound of high heels clicking on the floor grew louder as it approached, and everyone’s expressions froze!
She had arrived!
The door swung open, and a woman entered. She was dressed in a black suit, wore black-frad glasses, and had her hair neatly pinned up at the back of her head. Her expression was impassive, sowhat reminiscent of the stern old matrons who took pleasure in making life difficult for young palace maids in historical dramas.
“Sister Choi?!”
Soone in the room exclaid in surprise.
“Why is it you?”
“Where’s President Shen?” Everyone craned their necks, looking outside.
The woman’s gaze casually swept over them, and she cleared her throat, saying, “President Shen has so matters to attend to, so she can’t make an appearance. Everyone can go for now.”
As soon as her words fell, there was an imdiate murmur among the crowd.
“This new president seems to have quite an attitude.”
“Maybe important matters ca up.”
Sister Choi was planning to leave, but she was surrounded by the crowd, bombarded with questions.
“Sister Choi, have you t President Shen?”
“Is President Shen a man or a woman?”
“Is she good-looking?”
“Is she on a business trip? She’s so busy that she couldn’t even show up on her first day. Seems like she’s a no-nonsense type.”
Sister Choi replied, “President Shen ntioned that she’s on a vacation..”
