Chapter 6 - Her redemption (2/2)

”No need. Tell them, as long as they work hard they'll be forgiven.”

”Other than that, Zhang Min insists on keeping his own assistant. He denied the assistant assigned by the company. President, I fear it is going to be difficult to have him fed with wrong information if his assistant is not our confidant.” Mei Xiu looked angry when she told about him. After she knew he was a spy, she wanted to strangle him every time she saw him.

”He is checking me.” Jing Lihua put down the papers. Zhang Min was a shrewd man. None less could be expected from someone 'sent' by her so beloved husband 'Su Liwei'. ”Since he saw how uninterested I was, he is now going to see tolerant I'm.”

”He is testing my boundaries. The boundaries he will not cross once exercising his power in the company.”

”So President, what are your boundaries going to be?” Mei Xiu looked very excited.

On second thought, working with a scary President, wasn't that bad. It was exciting!

”Let him have his own assistant for now.” She gave it a contemplating thought. ”But tell him to send the assistant profile to President office. Tell him it's only for following the proper protocol and do not mention I instructed to do so unless he creates a fuss about it. And let's arrange for a private meeting with this 'assistant' to see if we can bring him to our side.”

”President, when are we going to expose that Zhang Min? I can't really stand him. He dared to think that he could fool you! I can't wait to have him exposed and see the look on his face when he realizes that he was the one being fooled all along!”

Jing Lihua laughed. Mei Xiu was as feisty as she recalled from her previous life. ”Soon. First, we must use him to relay false information to our enemies. After that, once I had left him, they would make him suffer even worse for relaying false information.”

By dawn, Jing Lihua went through the details of all the present five projects of the company. If all of those projects failed, she would have to sell her all her subsidiaries in other cities to pay back the debts to the bank. And this was how the downfall of the Tang enterprise had started in her last life.

After much contemplation, she worked out a plan to save three projects. But the two of them had no hope. They were bound to die. Jing Lihua decided to close those projects. She needed to make new investments fast to save her company. Jing Lihua calculated all the funds she had.

She grabbed out a small pamphlet about a real estate in Southern Beijing. There were huge acres of land. But they were far away from any settlement and the government showed no interest in expanding the city in that direction. So their price was very low. The owner of the lands was struggling to do everything to sell off those lands but there was no interested buyer.

She marked the name with her red marker. This Southern estate was going to be her redemption.
