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.
