Xia Zhuangya understood everything perfectly.
That idiot Xia Cheng only ended up like that because he was always at odds with Xia Zhi Ning, while she reaped the benefits.
She will never repeat the same mistake.
Fortunately, I had always secretly looked after her as a gentle aunt, and that kindness has now come in handy.
He used five million and these insignificant terms to gain Xia Zhining's trust, turning her into a sharp knife for his own use and transforming her from an enemy into a money-making tool under his control.
This deal couldn't be more worthwhile.
"The down payment of three million will be transferred to your account today."
Xia Zhuangya stood up and extended her hand to Xia Zhining: "Zhining, welcome back to the Xia family."
She then turned to Xia Qingqing, whose face was ashen: "With you all here in Jiangcheng, I should go back to Beijing. Qingqing, please cooperate well with Zhi Ning."
These words, spoken lightly, completely cemented Xia Qingqing's place in the "support" role.
Xia lowered her head gently, her nails almost digging into her palms: "...Okay."
She always felt that Xia Zhining's gaze carried an inexplicable chill, making her feel a coldness down her spine.
As soon as the meeting ended, Xia Zhining stopped Xia Qingqing, who was about to leave.
“I want to reorganize the dedicated R&D and marketing teams,” she said, slapping a list into Xia Qingqing’s hand.
“Go and dig the people up here down.”
Xia looked down and everything went black.
Many people on the list work for competitor companies. Although they are not core members, it would be necessary to offer a high price to poach them.
"Furthermore," Xia Zhining didn't give her a chance to object and continued to issue instructions.
"I need to visit the raw material production sites, attend the international pet food exhibition next month, and visit several top animal nutrition laboratories."
"You can arrange the itinerary."
Each of the itineraries Xia Zhining requested was incredibly expensive.
The exorbitant travel expenses, the entry qualifications for top exhibitions, and the personal expenses for cultivating relationships with the laboratory—all these add up to enough to squeeze millions more out of the Xia Group.
More importantly, the network of contacts she builds during this opportunity will become her own resources in the future.
Before closing in, make the Xia family pay back the debts they owe them, principal and interest, little by little.
Xia Zhining shoved a thick stack of documents and requirements into Xia Qingqing's arms in a flurry of activity.
Xia Qingqing, clutching the heavy files, looked up, unable to contain herself any longer: "Xia Zhining! Do you think of me as your personal assistant?!"
—"The supplementary terms for project cooperation, Article 32, clearly state in black and white: The project assistant shall fully cooperate with all reasonable work requests of the consultant."
Xia Zhining crossed her arms, her tone relaxed yet icy, "What, Manager Xia, are you going to openly defy the contract and affect the progress of the entire project because of our personal grudges?"
She leaned forward slightly, but her words were piercing: "Everything I've done is for—the Xia~Group~!"
The shareholders next to them had just been given hope by the nutritionist team, as this was a dog food product that was expected to become a global hit!
The shareholders, fearing that Xia Qingqing would ruin things, began to exert pressure on her.
"Gently, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles!"
"Manager Xia, we must prioritize the overall situation and get on it quickly!"
Xia Qingqing's chest heaved violently. Under the pressure of many gazes, she finally managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth:
"...I'll go!"
