Hidden Billionaire Son-in-law

"Are you questioning my decision?"    

Facing Wu Yang's penetrating gaze, Zhang Zining's heart was filled with hatred and humiliation. Although she wanted to retort, she managed to suppress her anger with logic and reason.    

Before Wu Yang descended to the Zhang Group, who in the company would dare to use this tone to scold her?    

"Chairman Wu, I think your decision is far too hasty. How could you place someone in the Chief Design Officer's position just like that?" Sunn Heng said with dissatisfaction. "Moreover, Zhang Qimo was just a small employee in the marketing department and clearly does not have any experience in this field."    

"The jewelry design team deals with the development of our company's products and is thus a crucial part of the company's industrial chain," Sunn Heng said. "Zhang Qimo is clearly not qualified to be the Chief Design Officer, be it her resume or experience. I am afraid the employees of the company will not be convinced by such a decision."    

Wu Yang burst into gales of laughter.    

"Did you think I am asking for your opinion?" Wu Yang looked at Sunn Heng. "Zhang Qimo's draft design has passed my test. I believe she is qualified to be Chief Design Officer."    

"Sunn Vice Chairman, if you have any problems with my decision, you may raise your objections to the board of directors and call the board of directors to vote. I too want to see just how much you are worth," Wu Yang said bluntly.    

Even though Sunn Heng looked as if he was about to explode in rage, he nevertheless suppressed the anger in his stomach.    

As the dignified Eldest Young Master of the Sunn Family and the future successor of the Sunn Family in Qingyun City. he had never encountered such a situation where he was looked down upon by others.    

While the people of the Zhang Family may be afraid of Wu Yang, he had not reason to feel the same way.    

If it was President Ning Que of the Ning Family of the East Sea, he would definitely be respectful to him. However, Wu Yang was only Ning Que's secretary, so he did not feel the need to treat him with the same respect.    

Moreover, his main business was in the Sunn Family. Even if he lost all his shares in the Zhang Group and was kicked out by the Board of Directors, he would just lose a small amount of his money.    

Sunn Heng thought to himself.    

"Chairman Wu, of course, my doubts are also for the development of the group. I have no intention of going against you." Sunn Heng said plainly. Although he did not refute him, he did not agree with Wu Yang's decision either.    

Wu Yang sneered and said slowly, "It's fine if you have any objections, but I also just happen to have another important matter to annouce."    

"I have decided that the expansion of the company will mainly focus on developing new jewelry designs and collecting large amounts of creative design drafts. The King of the World that was personally designed by Zhang Qimo has already been officially established as one of our company's projects. This ten million yuan jewelry project will also be handled by the newly promoted acting Chief Design Officer, Zhang Qimo."    

Wu Yang said with a stern expression, "In addition, the company will be organizing a jewelry exhibition in a month's time to release our latest jewelry designs to the public. During this period, anyone in the company can develop new jewelry projects and compete with each other. Whoever gets the first place in this exhibition will become the company's official Chief Design Officer."    

"So..." Wu Yang took a short pause as he swept his gaze and shot a cunning smile towards Zhang Zining and Sunn Heng before continuing, "If you are dissatisfied with my decision, you may use your strength to speak."    

"A jewelry project worth tens of millions?" Zhang Zining asked.    

"No way. Wouldn't it be a waste to give this kind of research and development project to a newbie like Zhang Qimo?"    

"Shh, she is now the company's acting Chief Design Officer..."    

Wu Yang's words caused quite a commotion throughout the office. All the management staff present were very surprised and had different expressions as they discussed quietly amongst themselves.    

They were all extremely jealous that Zhang Qimo received the opportunity to handle such a large project, but on the surface, they did not dare to directly question Chairman Wu as Sunn Heng did.    

"The jewelry exhibiton that will be publicized?" Zhang Zining's expression relaxed slightly as she exchanged glances with Sunn Heng.    

"Chairman Wu, I have no objections. However, Chief Design Officer, whom you have your eyes on, may not be able to do it in the end." Sunn Heng said.    

Zhang Zining also looked full of confidence and said, "Chairman Wu, I will also be taking part in the exhibition by sending in my own jewelry designs. When the jewelry exhibition opens, you will finally know who the most capable jewelry designer in the company actually is."    

Wu Yang wore an indifferent smile as he said lightly, "Everyone, you may go back to work now."    

With that, he turned around and returned to his office.    

Zhang Qimo secretly clenched her fists as a fire sparked in her heart. She then thought to herself that she must absolutely seize such a great opportunity given by Chairman Wu by coming out victorious against Zhang Zining in this jewelry exhibition.    

"Heh. Zhang Qimo, don't think just because Chairman Wu admires you that you can actually soar to the sky," Zhang Zining said with a cold smile. "When the time comes, you will fall miserably and expose your worthlessness in front of everyone's eyes, becoming a true laughingstock. I will let you know the capabilities of true experts in the field."    

"Don't think that you will be able to rise up above me in the future. After all, you are just an acting Chief Design Officer who does not have the authority to make any decisions in the company's design department," Zhang Zining said coldly, feeling extremely confident in her own jewelry designs.    

Since Zhang Qimo never had any actual experience in jewelry design before, how could she compare to her?    

"I will definitely not lose to you," Zhang Qimo bit her lips as she accepted her challenge.    

"Just wait and see," Zhang Zining sneered.    

Sunn Heng sneered and said, "You do not need to bicker with these two frogs at the bottom of a well. Taking a single glance at their poor appearance, they most likely have not even seen what expensive jewelry looks like. Even so, they still want to design a piece of jewelry worth tens of millions? Haha, what a joke!"    

Speaking of this, Sunn Heng stared coldly at Lin Yin and threatened," Also, Lin Yin. How dare you ignore the warnings I gave you? I will teach you a lesson that you will never forget!"    

Without any intentions of responding, Lin Yin ignored Sunn Heng and left with Zhang Qimo.    

"You ignorant fool!" Sunn Heng exclaims as he looked at Lin Yin's back with a cold expression.    

In the corridor, Lin Yin noticed Zhang Qimo's worried expression and advised, "Don't think too much about it. You just need to focus on completing your work."    

Zhang Qimo nodded earnestly. After taking the elevator back to the ground floor, they finally took their leave from the Precious Cauldron Tower.    

...    

After returning home...    

The parents at home had long received good news from the phone. In addition to their joyful appearance, Lu Yahui personally cooked for the first time and had already prepared the dishes.    

"Today, our family will be celebrating our daughter being promoted to Chief Design Officer in the company and also being in charge of a jewelry project worth tens of millions," Lu Yahui said happily at the dinner table and personally popped open a bottle of red wine.    

"I'm only an acting director at this moment. Only by getting first place at the jewelry exhibition will I actually be able to attain that position," Zhang Qimo said seriously.    

"What acting director? With how much Chairman Wu values and recognizes you for your jewelry designs, are you still afraid that Zhang Zining might defeat you? You are now the pride and joy of our family. To think that the Chief Jewelry Designer, Zhang Zining, will end up becoming my daughter's subordinate..." Lu Yahui said happily.    

Zhang Xiufeng revealed a solemn, gratified expression and said," Qimo, it seems that the newly promoted Chairman Wu does not care about qualifications and will only promote the ones that he finds capable. You will not find such an excellent opportunity every day, so make sure to seize it with your own hands. Since our family does not have much influence within the group, we will also have to be careful and keep a low profile in the future."    

"I know," Zhang Qimo nodded and said.    

"Oh, I also heard that Lin Yin offended someone in the company again? Didn't Sunn Heng from the Sunn Family warned that he was going to teach you a lesson?" Lu Yahui said with a waning frown and stared at Lin Yin with utter dissatisfaction. "You good-for-nothing brat. You only know how to stir up trouble all day long. Qimo should not have brought you to the company."    

"Also, my daughter..." Lu Yahui continued. "I heard that you allowed Lin Yin to be your assistant? Are you kidding me? He's simply a useless brat who doesn't know anything other than causing trouble. Listen to Mom's advice and go back to the company to arrange for another assistant. You definitely shouldn't make Lin Yin your assistant."    

"Mom, Lin Yin had also played an essential part in assisting me with gaining Chairman Wu's recognition this time," Zhang Qimo said. "You do not need to worry about our matters at work."    

"Alright, then let him take up the position for now," Lu Yahui hesitatingly agreed with a frown as she looked at Lin Yin with dissatisfaction. "Lin Yin, you better not stir up any more trouble for our family. You just need to follow Qimo in the company and not drag her down with you. Otherwise, I will definitely teach you a lesson!"    

At this time, Zhang Xiufeng realized that his cigarette case was empty and said, "Lin Yin, go down and help me buy a pack of cigarettes."    

Lin Yin nodded and proceeded his way downstairs.    

Having lived with Lu Yahui for the past two years, he had long since gotten used to Lu Yahui's nagging and no longer cared about it.    

After buying two boxes of cigarettes in the small store at the entrance of the district, Lin Yin was just about to go back until...    

*Screech!*    

A black Toyota Prado suddenly came to a stop before him.    

"He's Lin Yin?"    

"That's right. He's that useless wimp that our higher-ups instructed us to take away."    

At that moment, two burly men with fierce appearances suddenly alighted from the car and looked at Lin Yin with an evil expression.
