Zhang Wei's voice reached everyone's ears at just the right moment.

And they, including Zhao Pengfei, all listened carefully.

Zhao Lei was stunned. Wasn't the project he was talking about the same one that Zhao Jing had just told them about?

Although he always thought Zhao Jing was just trying to gain her father's approval and was just making wild and unfounded claims, he still listened carefully for a few minutes. He never expected that she would actually solve a problem that even the government found difficult.

Looking at Zhang Qian, her eyes were filled with the fire of jealousy. How could this be? Xu Tian hadn't even secured a project from the Xu Group, yet he had already snatched up a tough piece of meat with his first move, a piece of meat that she had only ever dreamed of.

For a moment, the people at the dinner table had different thoughts.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm eating right now," Xu Tian said dismissively.

"Hey, don't hang up. I was wrong before, but you have to come tomorrow. The leadership team is coming for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and we can't get started without you!"

Zhang Wei was sweating profusely with anxiety. He hadn't expected Xu Tian to be so capable. The people in the development zone only recognized him, putting him in a difficult position. He couldn't explain himself to his superiors, and his chances of promotion depended on this opportunity.

Xu Tian covered the microphone, deliberately asking Zhao Jing for permission in front of everyone.

"Why don't you go tomorrow? There's more than one project this time, and you have experience."

Zhao Jing understood immediately, cleared her throat, and said, "Let's go together, so you can learn a lot too."

Xu Tian smiled secretly, then set a time with Zhang Wei before hanging up the phone.

"Jingjing, did you get all the projects in that development zone contracted out to you?" Zhao Pengfei asked.

Zhao Jing felt triumphant at this moment, and her posture became much more upright.

"Of course, Dad. Why don't you come with us tomorrow?"

Xu Tian also said, "You have more experience. If you could come with us and give us some guidance, that would be great!"

Zhao Pengfei grinned from ear to ear, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you. Our Jingjing has really grown up, I'm so happy!"

Zhao Lei looked like a wilted eggplant, sitting silently in his seat with a face so dark it could drip water.

Zhang Qian also looked at Xu Tian with resentment. He didn't think of her when there was such a good thing, but instead got entangled with Zhao Jing!

"Once the contract is officially signed tomorrow, I'm going to throw a big banquet so everyone in Jiangcheng will know that I have such a successful daughter!" Zhao Pengfei said excitedly.

Zhao Jing looked at her mother. Although her mother didn't show it much, she knew that her mother was happy for her deep down. However, she didn't intend to let Zhao Lei off the hook.

"Don't forget what you just said, give me the company under your name."

Zhao Lei snorted coldly, "Look at how smug you are, anyone who didn't know better would think you've made a huge contribution to our family!"

"shut up!"

Before Zhao Jing could even object, Zhao Pengfei was the first to object.

"We're all from the Zhao family, and I've been giving you special attention, so why aren't you as hardworking as Jingjing?"

“A real man’s word is his bond. I’ve made the decision. Your company is going to Jingjing. Go back to the company tomorrow to hand over your duties.”

Zhao Jing was overjoyed. Zhao Lei's company was much better than hers, and he had access to the resources of the Zhao Group. Although he was currently operating it at a loss, it was a minor matter.

Zhao Lei said reluctantly, "If I give the company to her, what am I supposed to do?"

"Don't forget, Zhang Qian's project still needs to be completed with me."

Zhao Pengfei, though not angry, exuded an air of authority: "You're incompetent. You wouldn't be able to handle the project well. Here's what we'll do: Zhang Qian will directly liaise with Jingjing. Just ask if you need anything. What do you say, Zhang Qian?"

Zhang Qian was extremely unwilling to get involved with Zhao Jing, but she didn't want to miss out on the Zhao Group's help, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Zhao Jing smiled and said, "My best friend, I hope we can work together to make the Xu Group's projects a success."

Zhang Qian said a few polite words with a forced smile.

Zhao Jing then pouted at Zhao Pengfei.

"Dad, what about the 10% share you promised before!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lei slammed the table, "Zhao Jing, don't push your luck! We've already given you the company, and you still want shares?"

"You're not the eldest son or grandson, yet you dare to dream of inheriting the family business? I'll be the first to stand up and disagree!"

Seeing this, Zhao Pengfei only scolded Zhao Lei a few times, but he didn't say a single harsh word.

Seeing Zhao Pengfei's behavior, Xu Tian instantly understood that no matter how successful or well-behaved Zhao Jing was, in his eyes, she was still not as good as his son, Zhao Lei.

The fact that he didn't stop Zhao Lei from acting wildly shows that he also had the same idea, but he just said it through Zhao Lei's mouth.

“Zhao Jing, listen to my advice. We women should just do our jobs. Isn’t it enough that you have President Su’s love? Shares can’t compare to family ties. Why do we have to tear each other apart?”

The implication was that she was trying to persuade her, but Zhao Jing knew that Zhang Qian was up to no good and was using this opportunity to badmouth her.

Zhao Jing looked aggrieved. "Since I can't compare to my brother in anything, I'll have Xu Tian cancel tomorrow's contract. Let whoever wants to go, go."

Zhao Pengfei's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. Such a large piece of meat would be impossible for others to bite off, so how could Zhao Jing just give it up like that?

Moreover, it was made very clearly on the phone just now that they only recognize Xu Tian!

This is a project that the government attaches great importance to. If it is done well, the Zhao Group will become famous and benefit from it. But if it is not done well, it will not be as simple as just losing money.

Thinking of this, Zhao Pengfei quickly coaxed, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. I'll transfer the 10% of the shares to your name after we sign the contract tomorrow, is that alright?"

Zhao Jing felt even more aggrieved. "It's not that I necessarily want those shares. I just feel that my mother has worked very hard. Even though we were married through proper channels, people outside say that my mother is a mistress. Sometimes they even point fingers at me. That's why I wanted the shares so that people outside would know that I am the real daughter of the Zhao Group!"

Zhao Pengfei was taken aback, not expecting Zhao Jing to be so soft-hearted, but then he was filled with anger.

"How can we, the children of the Zhao family, allow outsiders to judge us!"

"That's true. Who knows when you two started dating? Maybe she was already in my dad's bed before you even divorced my mom!"

Zhao Lei muttered to himself.

"presumptuous!"

Zhao Pengfei angrily rebuked, and then slapped Zhao Lei across the face.

"She's your sister! How could you talk about her like that with outsiders? From today onwards, I'm suspending all your supplementary credit cards. You're to stay home and reflect on your actions. You're not allowed to go out without my permission!"

Zhao Pengfei values ​​his reputation above all else, and Zhao Lei's words not only slapped him in the face but also the Zhao Group.

Zhao Lei panicked, "Dad, I was wrong, please don't treat me like this!"
