<h4>Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Miss Zhu need not bother adding glory to my husband’s face</h4><h4></h4>
"Director?"
Zhu Jianian was clearly taken aback. "Why have I never heard Mo Qian mention that you’re the overall person in charge of this project?"
"That’s not surprising," Ji Wei said. "The personnel arrangements within the Gu Group don’t necessarily need to be discussed with Miss Zhu, do they?"
Upon hearing Ji Wei’s words, Zhu Jianian quickly understood the situation. However, she was someone who knew how to endure. Keeping a calm smile on her face, she looked at Ji Wei and said, "Miss Ji, since that’s the case, we’ll be colleagues from now on. I’m very pleased to have the opportunity to work with you."
As Zhu Jianian spoke, she extended her hand toward Ji Wei.
Ji Wei nced at her hand but showed no intention of shaking it.
"Miss Zhu is quite understanding. I suddenly became your superior—you wouldn’t have any objections to that, would you?"
Zhu Jianian clenched her other hand tightly in secret, while maintaining her smile. "How could I? Aunt Gu personally rmended me for this role, and I will put my heart and soul into performing it well. I won’t disappoint Aunt Gu, nor will I let Mo Qian lose face. So, naturally, I have no objections to Miss Ji serving as my superior."
Her words were wless, yet they sparked a hint of coldughter in Ji Wei’s heart.
Zhu Jianian was clever, knowing how to subtly bring Mo Qian’s mother into the conversation to provoke her.
But Ji Wei wasn’t the type to fall for such tactics.
"You don’t need to trouble yourself with giving my husband any des, Miss Zhu," Ji Wei responded with a faint smile, then turned to her assistant and said, "Ling Ling, let’s head inside. There’s a lot of work to do today—we can’t afford to waste time standing here."
After speaking, Ji Wei walked past Zhu Jianian without hesitation.
As Zhu Jianian watched Ji Wei and her assistant disappear into the project site one after the other, a wave of fury rose in her heart.
Was Ji Wei actually showing off her authority and superiority over her now?
Does she really think being the project director is that simple?
Just a bachelor’s degree from some foreign universitypared to her own graduate-level education, they weren’t even remotely in the same league! Conveniently, this project was riddled withplex issues that even she found challenging. She was curious to see how Ji Wei would tackle them!
When Zhu Jianian entered, she saw Ji Wei gathering the main participants of the project for a meeting.
Grabbing a notebook, Zhu Jianian followed them into the conference room.
Ji Wei didn’t so much as nce at Zhu Jianian, focused instead on exining the content disyed on the projector with seriousness and precision.
Zhu Jianian listened to Ji Wei’s analysis with disdain. For instance, Ji Wei mentioned that the surrounding area consisted of Rongcheng’s traditional residential districts, or that there was arge naturalke not far away.
What did any of that have to do with the project?
This was exactly the kind of amateur-level thinking a bachelor’s degree education would yield.
As Zhu Jianian was mulling this over, she suddenly heard Ji Wei say, "This project has been dyed for far too long. Apart from the main building, anciry facilities around the site still haven’t moved forward. Can anyone exin the specific reasons for this? Is it due to funding issues, or are there problems with the designs?"
"Director Ji, neither funding nor design is the issue. The primary problem lies with the local residents. They’re incredibly stubborn and refuse to move out, even though we’ve raised thepensation payouts to triple the original amount. They still won’t ept it. We also can’t send people to forcibly demolish their homes—that kind of esction could damage the Gu Group’s reputation and ultimately not be worth it."
An engineering team member couldn’t help but speak up.
Ji Wei hadn’t yet responded when suddenly someone rushed into the room with urgency to report: "Bad news! All the nearby residents have gathered at the front gate, demanding answers!"
