13 Chapter 1 013 Charming Female White Collar Worker_1

Having seen the Executive Manager look over their presentation, Qin Yutong slowly began to explain. "Our plan is to foster future stars. What is a star? It's someone who can shine and excel in a specific field, achieving results that others cannot. However, there are many fields that require no correlation with intelligence or academic performance. So why should we only focus on children who excel acadically? Besides, how can we predict the academic performance of children aged five or six? Therefore, my suggestion is... We can choose children with special talents, or children with strong comprehensive abilities, to be selected for the 'Yutong Education Action Plan', to be cultivated. Executive Manager, what do you think?"

Qin Muchuan nodded. "Not bad, I'll leave your plan to the executive managers to execute!"

Qin Yutong, affirmed by her boss, breathed a sigh of relief, her mouth curving in happiness. "Thank you, Executive Manager!"

Qin Muchuan's gaze turned stern again as he reminded her, "Work is over. Call me 'Executive Manager' again and I'll spank you!"

"Okay, Dad!" Qin Yutong abandoned her 'power woman' demeanor, finally acting like a child again. She hopped energetically onto her father's legs. "Dad, where is the gift from your business trip?"

"The gift is in the car. I'll give it to you tonight!" Qin Muchuan tweaked his daughter's little nose. "Now, off to school. OK?"

"Will you take me?" Qin Yutong, her hair in a ponytail, tilted her head and bargained.

"I have a meeting soon; I can't take you."

"Okay, then. See you tonight. Don't stand me up!" Qin Yutong let her thick lashes droop unhappily, her long, thick lashes seeming to be imbued with a hint of sadness.

Reluctantly, with her pink lips pouting, she hopped off her father's legs. "Bye, Dad!"

"Bye!"

Qin Yutong, wearing white leather shoes, ran out of the room with a 'clip-clop' sound.

Only when his daughter had left did Qin Muchuan withdraw his gaze and pick up his daughter's neatly arranged plan again.

Although... he detested her mother, he had to admit that he was proud of having such a daughter.

......

"Ah..." Back at the office, Lin Xiang gave a sigh and descended back into her reflection, her brow furrowed with worry.

"Manager, what's wrong?" The assistant quickly handed her a cup of coffee, asking with concern.

"Do you not see?" Lin Xiangwan said anxiously. "It's about school admission for my child!"

With regards to the matter of her child's schooling, Lin Xiangwan was utterly stressed. "It's almost March, my son will be starting elementary school in September. These prestigious schools are just too competitive, and I have no connections!"

She and Song Yichen had specifically moved to Jiangcheng to expand their business. They had no relatives here, only customers and business associates.

They had no direct connections in the education sector.

Mentioning her child, the already-parent assistant could also sigh heavily. "All things are easy to settle except for the issue of our children's schooling. Thankfully, my mother-in-law has a local household registration card and is in a key school district. Otherwise, with my husband's and my income and connections, we wouldn't be able to get our child into a prestigious school!"

Lin Xiangwan said with envy, "You are so lucky to have such a household registration card, it's a huge advantage over us!"

She had initially thought that with six months left, there was still plenty of time. But after discussing with other parents, she found that many had already completed the application process for their child.

And as for Ranran's placement, her inability to decide on a school for him was making her anxious.

So anxious that she got a mouth ulcer.

The assistant immediately tried to reassure her, "Manager, there is no need for excessive worry. I have a hunch, Ranran will be a lucky baby. When the ship gets to the pier-head, things will naturally sort themselves out. Good fortune will find you..."

"I hope you're right," Lin Xiangwan replied dispiritedly.

She'd better discuss this matter with Yichen and let him think of a solution.

A knocking sound interrupted Lin Xiangwan's thoughts, and the office door creaked open.

The Financial Director entered in a hurry, his face full of concern. "Manager Lin, I need to report something to you."

Director Li's expertise was vast; he was highly capable. Seeing his anxious look, there must be an urgent matter afoot.

Lin Xiangwan glanced at her assistant, signaling her to leave.

After the assistant had left the office, Lin Xiangwan inquired, "Director Li, what's the matter?"

"Manager Lin, please persuade Director Song. Our company has been frozen in preparation for the IPO for fifty billion, and there is very little liquid capital. Now Director Song wants to implement the failed project of the Y City Tourism Zone, the investment is too large, the risk is too large, he is also letting me think of a way to divert 30 billion. This... is it a bit risky? If we're not careful, we may have a liquidity crisis! The consequences would be unimaginable!"

Song Yichen was taking over the project in Y City? He hadn't discussed such a significant matter with her. "All right, Director Li, I understand. I will persuade him!"

The aging Director Li reminded her anxiously, "You must persuade Director Song. Even though there are risks in business, we should avoid them. Currently, our company really doesn't have the capacity to take on such a huge project!"

"Thank you for your reminder, Director Li!" After seeing off Director Li, Lin Xiangwan went straight to Song Yichen's office.

Song Yichen was on a call, apparently talking to the bank about mortgaging the hotel and the land!

He chatted for quite a while before hanging up.

Song Yichen looked at her, already knowing why she came. He spoke first, "As long as you are not talking about the Tourism Zone project in Y City, you can mention anything else to me!"

Lin Xiangwan gaped at him for a long while before asking, "Then what should I say?"

Song Yichen curled up his lips, giving her a comforting smile. "Xiangwan, this matter I have considered. Once the project in Y City gets started, the money will definitely return quickly. I have received internal news that Y City is already laying plans to develop a duty-free zone, which should be running by the middle of next year at the latest. Once the duty-free shop opens, the number of tourists will certainly increase, and the hotel will definitely make a profit. Now, the government of Y City is eager to resolve the failed project. It will be easy for us to get a loan. I have thought out every step, and there won't be any issues. Trust me!"

Hearing his analysis, and seeing his confident expression, Lin Xiangwan became even more worried, as he always adopted a dictatorial approach and never listened to others' persuasion. "But what if the duty-free shops aren't implemented?"

Song Yichen scoffed. "There is no such possibility. I am ninety percent sure that the duty-free shops in Y City will open next year!"

"Yichen..." Lin Xiangwan attempted to say something else.

Song Yichen interrupted her and calmly embraced her. "Xiangwan, this time I am not interested in hearing your advice, I only need your support. I can foresee the multifold returns this project will bring me in the future. I am very confident… alright?"
