The Crippled Boss Loves Me

Chapter 156: Are You Doing Charity?

“The history of the west side of the city is profound, so you can totally go with the nostalgic style.” Zhuang Yu was wearing a smart suit, it made her look more refined and intelligent. She continued, “Besides, one cannot simply focus on one side of the city and neglect the other side if we want economic development. The gap between the east side and the west side of the city can not be too wide. The west side of the city needs this opportunity to keep up with the development of the entire city.”

“Do you think you are doing charity?” Zhuang Li sneered. “Women really do have long hair and limited knowledge. You cannot achieve anything big by being soft-hearted.”

“Zhuang Li!” Zhuang Yu frowned, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. “Both of us are pitching our own proposals. Let’s see whose plan is more convincing to Grandpa. You may raise objections to my proposal, but there is no need to be so sexist.” She had always disliked her cousin’s arrogant look. He wore a haughty expression every day as though he was the best in the world.

“Zhuang Yu, look who you’re talking to!” Zhuang Li’s expression did not look too good, he raised the corners of his lips coldly. “You’re calling me sexist? Then why don’t you look at the proposal you’ve made? It’s all nonsense. You have to understand that we’re doing business, not charity. Charity is what a philanthropist should do. As a member of the Zhuang family, you have the obligation to create a bigger market for the Zhuang family and make more money.”

“My proposal is the result of comprehensive consideration!” Zhuang Yu gritted her teeth and shouted angrily, “Zhuang Li, I am now your competitor. Don’t act like you are lecturing me. As the manager of the company, I firmly believe that the company can reap greater benefits with my proposal.”

“Alright, stop arguing.” Elder Zhuang, who was sitting on the sofa, slowly put down his teacup. His gaze was cloudy but sharp, his wrinkled face was full of wisdom. “I called both of you here so that you could convince me about your respective proposals, not to have meaningless arguments here.”

“Grandpa.” Zhuang Yu bit her lip.

“She’s unreasonable.” Zhuang Li stood on the opposite side, he icily rolled up his sleeves. “Grandpa, it’s a waste of time for you to let my cousin compete with me. The most important thing right now is to gather the manpower and resources of the company and come up with a plan to maximize the benefits, instead of diverting resources and engaging in such useless competition.”

“You! Zhuang Li, Don’t go too far!” Zhuang Yu was furious. She studied financial management at university and had always been at the top in school. During her internship in the company, she had finished every case as well as Zhuang Li. Even her grandfather was willing to give her a chance to participate in the successor selection competition for the Zhuang Corporation, but Zhuang Li was saying some aggravating things right now.

“I don’t think this is a useless competition.” Elder Zhuang looked at Zhuang Li indifferently. “The interests in front of us are temporary, but the selection of the successor affects the Zhuang Corporation long-term.”

Although Zhuang Li was talented, he was too headstrong and overconfident. This was also the reason why he had not handed the Zhuang corporation over to Zhuang Li. As for Zhuang Yu... Elder Zhuang was pleasantly surprised by her. The proposal that she submitted looked decent. She seemed very talented.

Elder Zhuang’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. “I’ve said that it’s a fair competition. You guys will have to rely on your abilities to fight for it. Tomorrow, I’ll have my assistant give each of you a department to see who can achieve results in their respective projects.” He said in a deep voice, “Whoever achieves good results with their projects will be the successor of the Zhuang Corporation.”

“Grandpa!” Zhuang Li frowned in disapproval. Wasn’t this nonsensical? The development of the urban area was such a big matter and yet, Grandpa wanted to waste precious resources on such a trivial issue?

In Zhuang Li’s heart, he had never seen Zhuang Yu as a threat. How could a girl who was indecisive and hesitant become the successor of the Zhuang Corporation? How could a woman like her lead the Zhuang Corporation to a broader future? Therefore, to Zhuang Li, the issue of the successor for the Zhuang Corporation was already set in stone with him being the successor.

“What?” Elder Zhuang suddenly raised his eyes. The light in his eyes was sharp and extremely oppressive. “Are you questioning my decision?”

Zhuang Li was shocked and quickly lowered his eyes. “I wouldn’t dare to do so.”

Elder Zhuang looked intensely at this arrogant grandson of his. His eyes could not help but reveal a hint of disappointment. He let out a long sigh and waved his hand. “Let’s end it here. Go and do your own thing. I will only be looking at the results.”

Zhuang Li gave a reply and then turned around to walk out without hesitation. When he turned around, his eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and hatred.

Zhuang Yu made a face at Zhuang Li’s back and grabbed Elder Zhuang’s arm gleefully. She said, “I knew that you are the best, Grandpa. You’re different from those old-fashioned men who value sons over daughters!”

What era was this now? And yet, Zhuang Li was still sexist!
