BXBX NOVEL Chapter 172 Anger
Zhang Renshu immediately turned his attention to her. "Do you have any suggestion?" He asked as all eyes immediately turned to her.
"I don\'t have any suggestion to make, but I have something very important you have to know." Zhang Liling said with a serious gaze on him.
Song Jujing glanced at her and guessed what she was going to say and turned her face away. She had wanted to stop her give her a sign not to mention it.
She felt it would be very painful for him to learn about her decision on such a happy occasion just when he was feeling proud that he would have her intelligent mind on his team.
Having dwelled on so many things, she felt that it was better to let her reveal it in front of the family. That way, Shi Wenqian who was already habouring an evil thought would abort it at once.
She didn\'t trust that woman one bit.
"Dad, I don\'t have any plans to work in your company." Zhang Liling revealed.
Immediately, silence ensured in the room with everyone contemplating on what they had just heard apart from Song Jujing.
Zhang Renshu\'s brows knitted together as black lines appeared on his forehead. "Liling, what do you mean by that?" He asked for clarification immediately.
Without batting an eye, Zhang Liling spells it out for her.
"I thank you for the opportunity to not struggle for anything before getting into your company, but I am not interested in the Zhang Group. I don\'t want to fight for any position, and I don\'t family feuds attached to what I gain."
Zhang Renshu was left momentarily speechless.
Shi Wenqian slowly unclenched her fingers as a small smile tugged at the corner of her lips.
\'At least you are not stupid.\' she thought to herself.
She didn\'t care what Zhang Renshu was going to say to promise Zhang Liling his protection while threatening her at the same time.
Just as long as she doesn\'t agree to his quest, then she wouldn\'t continue with her plans.
\'She doesn\'t want to work in the family company?\' Zhang Mingyu thought in surprise. He was beginning to see his half-sister as foolish.
Even if she didn\'t want to fight for anything, how could she walk away from an opportunity served in a platter of gold?
Zhang Mingyu deemed her foolish.
Zhang Xiaoling on the otherhand, had a different thought as something swirled in her heart. Recalling the scene earlier at NYU where Zhang brought Mr. Fang over to introduce him to her mother, she thought as her fingers clenched in a fist.
\'I hope it\'s not what I\'m thinking?\'
Zhang Renshu did not like where things were going and immediately turned his gaze to Song Jujing.
"Jujing, what does Liling mean by that? Do you know what she is saying?"
Song Jujing swirled the the champagne in the glass with her hand while replying with her gaze resting on the table.
"Liling told me she doesn\'t want to work in the Zhang Group. Since you already have two other children, pick a successor from amongst them. You already have capable hands."
"Jujing what do you mean? Are you telling me that your support her decision?" Zhang Renshu looked infuriated. He couldn\'t believe that she agreed to that kind of ridiculous idea.
"Dad, I am an adult, I have the right to make decisions myself. I can only consider your suggestions and not accept them because you want me to." Zhang Liling said with a frown.
She didn\'t have the time to sit there and try to convince him.
She only wanted him to know that he can not force her to work in his company. Anyway, she had already made her decision and she was not living in his house.
Even if he found out where her apartment was with his influence, she wouldn\'t bother much since she was still staying at Mr. Fang\'s place.
What she would do, would be to immediately move her most important stuff to his place once her mother leaves for Paris.
The more Shi Wenqian heard her insistence, the more relaxed she felt. Before she was unhappy and couldn\'t touch her glass but now, she was drinking nonstop in glee.
Zhang Renshu on the otherhand felt like slapping her face. Even in the midst of that anger, he would tell she was happy.
Glancing back to Zhang Liling,he stared hard at her as his chest heaved up and down.
Zhang Xiaoling took the opportunity in the middle of this thick silence to ask with her gaze directed at Liling.
"If you don\'t have any plans of working in the Zhang Group, which company do you plan to go to? Don\'t tell me you plan to stay idle?"
Her question was to get Zhang Liling to reveal her plans which was very much interested in.
Zhang Liling not knowing the feelings she secretly harboured for Mr. Fang, replied without thinking, "I am interested in the Fang Group."
"..."
"..."
"..."
All three (Xiaoling, Renshu and Wenqian) were stunned apart from Zhang Mingyu who seemed to be holding in his laughter.
Glancing at his sister from his peripheral view, he could tell that she was on the verge of losing her mind.
"You refuse to help your father and want to go and work for the Fang Group?!" Zhang Renshu asked in a thunderous voice while staring hard at his daughter.
Song Jujing could feel his anger from her side, but refused to say anything. She wouldn\'t intervene because Liling was doing a good job already.
\'Fang group? No way! I won\'t let that happen!\' Shi Wenqian thought as her relaxed veins immediately tensed up.
She was already thinking of how she would make a marriage between her daughter and Mr. Fang work, and here Zhang Liling was, trying to steal that opportunity away.
From the scene earlier where she invited Fang Bingwen over, and the latter acknowledged only Song Jujing and Zhang Renshu as if he had something against the rest of them, she just knew that Zhang Liling\'s presence at the Fang Group would ruin her plans to the core.
And who knows what nonsense she would spill about them?
