Chapter 96: Absent on Taking Office

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 became aware of her appointment as the president of Mingya Advertising Company.

Opinions on this matter varied, with some 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 surname. 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 members were quite tolerant in this regard.

On Monday, the personnel appointment notice was officially issued from the group to Mingya, immediately attracting a crowd of onlookers and discussions that followed.

“Old Wang, our former president, barely left, and they’ve already picked a replacement. 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 name of the new president?”

“Let me see… here it is! Shen… Wan?”

“A woman?!”

“It sounds like it. The key is, her surname is Shen!”

A new intern who didn’t quite understand asked, “What’s the big deal about having the surname Shen?”

“Mingya is a subsidiary of Mingda Group, and the chairman, president, and general manager of the group all have the surname Shen. In ancient times, it would be considered a ‘Royal Surname,’ a privilege reserved for the imperial family and their relatives. Do you understand now?”

The intern swallowed nervously. “So, you mean we have a rich heiress here?”

“Yeah, that’s about right.”

“Oh… I remember Old Wang mentioning that in the main branch of the Shen family, the names 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 someone named 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 meet 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-framed glasses, and had her hair neatly pinned up at the back of her head. Her expression was impassive, somewhat reminiscent of the stern old matrons who took pleasure in making life difficult for young palace maids in historical dramas.

“Sister Choi?!”

Someone in the room exclaimed 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 some 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 immediate murmur among the crowd.

“This new president seems to have quite an attitude.”

“Maybe important matters came up.”

Sister Choi was planning to leave, but she was surrounded by the crowd, bombarded with questions.

“Sister Choi, have you met 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 mentioned that she’s on a vacation..”
