Chapter 390: Bring Her to Me Directly
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
They didn’t know who Zhen Zhu was. When they saw her come in with Shen Hanyu and sit beside him, they thought she was his new secretary or a.s.sistant. Hearing her speak up like this, they couldn’t help but feel extremely puzzled.
Zhen Yiping glanced at Zhen Zhu and ignored her. Instead, he turned to look at Shen Hanyu, who hadn’t said anything. “Hanyu, what do you think?”
“Do you want to hear the truth?” Shen Hanyu asked unhurriedly.
“Of course.”
“The truth is, I agree with President Xu and Zhen Zhu.”
“No one knows what the future will be like,” He said in a deep voice. “However, technology would undoubtedly become more orthodox. To the Zhen family, this is a great opportunity, and the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.”
Zhen Yiping’s expression was solemn. He could ignore Xu Kejing’s words, but he had to take Shen Hanyu’s opinion seriously.
This was because Shen Hanyu’s sensitivity in the business field was unparalleled. From the time he founded Phoenix Technology when he was young to the time he became the owner of Zhen Group, he adjusted the direction of many projects in a short period. None of the new projects he launched were unsuccessful, and those that were originally incurring losses miraculously turned into profits under his leadership.
His support or disapproval of a project was not just empty talk. He would only express his stance after careful consideration and when he was confident.
“Even President Shen said so, so why don’t you let the company try?”
Zhen Zhu spoke again, “If you’re worried about investing too much, you can set a time limit. Five years, or three years. If you don’t reach the target, the project department will be dismissed on the spot.”
She interjected twice. She didn’t address him as ‘President Zhen’ or the formal “you”, but directly addressed him as “you”.
Zhen Yiping took a deep look at her and didn’t reprimand her. On the contrary, when he heard her words, he felt a little gratified.
Shen Hanyu had once told him that she was very perceptive in business and had a lot of ideas. In time, she could become a qualified heir.
At that time, Zhen Yiping didn’t believe his words. Despite that, he agreed to give Shen Hanyu a try just to make him give up and stay in the Zhen family.
But now, looking at his daughter’s knowledge, he could tell… That she did have some good ideas.
He pondered for a while and nodded. “In that case, Kejing, you will lead this project. But-”
He changed the topic. “As I said just now, the investment for this project is too large. Even if the company is strong, it can’t support it indefinitely. How about this? 1’11 give you five years. If you don’t make a name for yourself from this project within five years, your department will be disbanded.”
Xu Kejing was overjoyed. “Thank you, President Zhen. I will do my best and not disappoint you!”
He looked at Zhen Zhu excitedly with admiration. “Is this lady President Shen’s new secretary?”
“No.”
“No?”
Xu Kejing wondered who this girl was. Was she one of Shen Hanyu’s employees?
However, he couldn’t care less. After hesitating for two seconds, he said, “This girl is bold and has a lot of ideas. I originally wanted to ask President Shen to give her to me and go to the new project department with me…”
Shen Hanyu smiled. “I’m afraid I can’t make that decision. You would have to get President Zhen’s agreement.”
Xu Kejing was confused. Didn’t this lady follow Shen Hanyu here? Why would he need to ask Zhen Yiping for her?
What was the relationship between them?
Everyone was confused. Suddenly, someone who was quick-witted remembered that Shen Hanyu had said that he agreed with Zhen Zhu and Director Xu’s point of view. He snapped back to reality and said,”
“This lady, is her surname Zhen?”
“Yes, Zhen Zhu, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Zhen Zhu…
Xu Kejing seemed to have been struck by lightning. In his memory, a name that he had not seen for a long time suddenly appeared. He looked at Zhen Yiping in disbelief, “Is this… Is this the Eldest Miss?”
When Zhen Zhu was young, she attended the annual meeting of the company with Mrs. Zhen. Xu Kejing even hugged her at that time.
But later, when Zhen Yiping’s marriage changed, he kept his family’s affairs a secret. Although Xu Kejing had a high position, he was only a subordinate after all, so it was rude for him to inquire about anything. He only vaguely heard that Zhen Yiping’s relationship with his daughter was not good, and he did not know anything else.
He did not expect that this child would actually be working in the company at this age.
“Eldest Miss? Just call her by her name.”
Zhen Yiping looked at Xu Kejing unhappily. “Are you sure you want her to join you?”
“Of course!” Xu Kejing nodded.
He only chose talents and didn’t have many concerns. What relationship she had with Zhen Yiping didn’t affect his choice.
“I don’t care about the transfer of subordinates.”
“As long as her immediate superior and the Human Resources Department have no objections, then all is fine.”
This meant that he had agreed.
“Her immediate superior is Tang Bochuan.” Shen Hanyu reminded.
“Then I’ll talk to Bochuan personally later.” Xu Kejing smiled.
Zhen Zhu was speechless.
After the meeting ended, she looked at Shen Hanyu helplessly. “So what is this? Should I really go to Xu Kejing’s department in the future?”
“It’s a good thing.”
Shen Hanyu closed the folder in his hand and stood up. “Director Xu trains people very well. Bochuan used to work for him in the beginning.”
She snorted and couldn’t help but complain. “Good thing? I don’t want it, okay?”
She could slack off and throw tantrums while she was working under Tang Bochuan. Sometimes, when things didn’t go her way, she would even throw a tantrum at him. After all, Tang Bochuan had never said a word. Occasionally, he would be kind and buy her favorite milk tea to coax her.
If she followed Xu Kejing, the workaholic, she could imagine how difficult her life would be in the future.
However, no matter how unwilling Zhen Zhu was, the transfer order came down on the same day.
“I guess I’m leaving. I’m sorry, I can’t bear to leave you either.”
Before she reported to the new department, she placed a pot that had a cactus with red flowers on Tang Bochuan’s table. “This is for you. Take good care of it for me. I’ll come back again for a check-up.”
Tang Bochuan lowered his head to look at his work materials. His expression was indifferent as if he had not heard anything.
However, when the door closed, his gaze slowly fell on the cactus.
After a long time, he carefully positioned the cactus in the place with the most sunlight within the office.

After the banquet ended, Sang Qianqian sent the guests back to the hotel on a bus. She stood by the roadside and let out a long sigh.
It was only 9:30 pm. She had told Shen Hanyu to pick her up at the hospital at 10 pm, but it ended half an hour earlier than expected.
She returned to the hospital and planned to go upstairs to check on Cui Yi.
Just as she entered the elevator, she received a call from Xie Shi’an. His voice was a little anxious. “Qianqian, Xiaodie drank the Chinese medicine you prescribed before she went to bed and suddenly got a stomach ache. She’s feeling really uncomfortable…”
Sang Qianqian’s heart tightened. “Is she having a fever?”
Xie Shi’an reached out and touched Ruan Xiaodie’s forehead. “A little.”
“I’m at the hospital now.”
Sang Qianqian made a prompt decision. “Bring her to me directly..”
