Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

"The old lady has decided that, starting today, Miss Jiang Yingxue will be fully responsible for the Nanxiang development plan!"

Upon hearing this, the entire conference room fell silent.

The Nanxiang Development Plan was a project that the old man had drafted before his death, in order to cooperate with the policy of relocating the Beihai Economic Center to the south to develop a new area.

The project proposal and funding were ready at the time, but it was ultimately shelved due to the strong local clan power and extreme xenophobia.

In fact, the Jiang Group was not the only one with this idea at the time, but the results were all the same.

The relocation of the economic center to the south has now been completed.

Nanxiang, originally a simple rural area, has gradually transformed into what people call the southern suburbs due to economic development and the relocation of municipal administration.

The fact that the old lady is now passing this hot potato, which has been sitting untouched for five or six years, to the newly appointed eldest daughter is quite intriguing.

Nanxiang?

Chu Nan frowned slightly, because he had just dealt with Nanxiang and still vividly remembered the scene of the villagers from Qiaobei Village surrounding the police car.

According to the driver before we went, Nanxiang is a notorious no-man's-land in Beihai, with a fierce local culture, and even big shots from both the underworld and the legitimate world can't get close to it.

Clearly, the opportunity given by the old lady was not so easy to seize.

After a moment of silence, the higher-ups began to whisper among themselves.

"Even the old man couldn't get this project going back then, and now it's been handed over to the young lady? Isn't that making things difficult for her?"

"The old lady is clearly setting a trap for the young lady."

These people were expressing their admiration, but in reality, they were already calculating which side to take.

The situation was unclear before, but Jiang Yingxue was, after all, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.

But now, the first task the old lady has given the young lady is this mess.

This is no longer a test; it's more like using this method to oust Jiang Yingxue, who has just taken office!

The crowd spoke in hushed tones, but Jiang Yingxue knew exactly what they were saying and what they were thinking.

But instead of feeling nervous at the start of the meeting, she felt completely at peace.

Uncle Chen looked somewhat surprised, after all, when this task was announced, even the higher-ups changed their expressions.

It's quite interesting that Jiang Yingxue, who has been timid since childhood, has such a calm expression.

"Of course, the young lady's own opinion is also very important in deciding whether or not to accept this task."

Upon hearing Chen Bo's words, everyone's thoughts changed again.

What does it mean to give someone a difficult task and then offer them a way out that they can choose to accept or not?

However, some people thought that Jiang Yingxue and the old lady must have reached some kind of agreement.

Otherwise, there would be no point in announcing these things in public.

As the person involved, Jiang Yingxue naturally understood the meaning behind Uncle Chen's words.

Refusing would mean turning away the opportunity, and at the same time, she would completely lose the right to negotiate with the family in the future.

Therefore, she did not hesitate at all, "I will do my best to complete the task that my grandmother gave me."

"good!"

A hint of appreciation flashed in Uncle Chen's eyes. More important than whether one could complete the task was having the courage and determination to take it on.

Although the old lady hadn't told him this, in his view, the main test of this difficult problem was Jiang Yingxue's courage.

After all, this was a plan that even the old man couldn't complete while he was alive, so if Jiang Yingxue ultimately failed to complete it, there was still a way for her to save face.

"The meeting is adjourned for today, everyone can leave!"

After saying this, Uncle Chen left immediately.

Jiang Yingxue glanced at Chu Nan, signaling him to follow, and then walked out of the conference room.

The moment the meeting room door closed, a commotion erupted on both sides of the long table.

The first to speak was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He was the head of the finance department and never spoke first in meetings.

But today he clearly couldn't hold back any longer. He turned to his colleague beside him and whispered, "What does the old lady mean by this? The Nanxiang development plan has been shelved for five or six years. It's a project that even the old man couldn't push through when he was alive. Now she's handing it over to the young lady?"

"Keep your voice down."

The person next to him tugged at his sleeve.

"I'm telling the truth."

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses pushed up his glasses. "Who here doesn't know what the situation is like in Nanxiang? Back then, even the old man himself went to negotiate and was turned away. The clan's power is unbreakable. Now, sending the young lady there—"

"So the old lady's meaning is quite clear."

An elderly man with gray hair across from them chimed in. He was a veteran figure in the Jiang Group. "Think about it," he said, "if the old lady really wanted to make things difficult for the young lady, wouldn't it have been simpler to just take back the shares? Why go through all this trouble?"

"So what do you mean?"

"I think the old lady is giving the young lady a chance, and also sending a signal to all of us."

"If the young lady dares to take on even the southern region and can produce something worthwhile, then who would dare say she lacks the ability to support the Jiang family's business? As for success or failure..."

"Even the old man couldn't succeed back then, so even if the young lady can't make it happen in the end, who can say anything?"

Upon hearing this, several executives who were still observing nodded thoughtfully.

But some people disagreed, like the middle-aged woman sitting in the corner.

She was the deputy director of the marketing department and had always been close to the second wife. She sneered, "You make it sound so easy. Don't you know how difficult the people from Nanxiang are to deal with?"

"This young lady has barely even stepped foot inside a company gate since she was a child. Do you really think she can handle those local bullies?"

"Whether we can handle it is one thing, whether we dare to take it on is another."

The elderly man with gray hair picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly, "When Uncle Chen asked Miss Chen if she wanted to accept the offer, did she hesitate?"

No one answered.

Because they all saw that Jiang Yingxue did not hesitate at all.

"In other words, the young lady is fully capable of handling this matter!"

"impossible!"

The deputy director of the marketing department directly expressed his opposition.

The remaining people remained silent, but it was clear that they each had their own thoughts...

Jiang Yingxue led Chu Nan directly to his office, sat down at his desk, and picked up the landline to dial her assistant's internal line.

"Bring over all the materials related to the Nanxiang development plan, from the project proposal the old man made when he was alive to the records of every restart and shelving later on, we need them all."

After hanging up the phone, she looked up at Chu Nan.

With no one else in the office, her expression finally softened somewhat, losing the coldness and restraint she usually displayed at work.

"The only person I can trust right now is you. Uncle Chen is the old lady's man, and the other executives each have their own agendas, so—you have to help me."

Chu Nan didn't waste any words. "I don't understand business, and I know how difficult the Nanxiang development plan is, but I will do my best to help you!"
