Chapter 53: Misfortune Might Be A Blessing In Disguise

She gulped slightly, a little uncomfortable with such directness, but seeing as Ming Qi looked impatient, she said bluntly, “We want to cooperate with you.”

Upon hearing that, everyone looked shocked.

That was Jiang Xinyi’s wishful thinking.

Dr. Ming had never even accepted olive branches offered by major famous enterprises in the capital. What made her believe he would agree to cooperate with the Sheng Corporation?

The banquet hall fell into silence, making Jiang Xinyi panic. She was afraid that the chance she had finally gotten would be ruined.

And Sheng Yue was immersed in the joy that Ming Qi was treating them with such special care.

Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise. Even if she was viewed as the second choice after Sheng Yang, so what?

That was just a host role, but now she had met Dr. Ming and he treated her so specially.

After a pause, Ming Qi spoke, his voice steady and calm: “I’ll consider it, and I’ll make a decision after checking the Sheng Corporation’s credentials.”

Jiang Xinyi was overjoyed. She just came today with the hopes of getting to know Dr. Ming first before trying to build relations with him. She had never expected that Dr. Ming would say something like “I’ll consider it”.

There were no issues with the Sheng Corporation’s qualifications, which meant Dr. Ming had almost agreed to cooperate with them.

Things were progressing so fast that she felt as if she was walking on the clouds. Everything went so smoothly that there was even fear in her heart.

But this excessive ecstasy left her no time to think. This success would be enough to get her a spot on the board of directors.

She had waited so long—too long—and could never miss such a good opportunity.

Her ever-gentle eyes suddenly glowed and burned with the flames of ambition.

When Sheng Yang got home, Kang Weizhen was talking on the phone, waving her hands frantically at Sheng Yang, apparently in a good mood. “Yes, I didn’t know she was so amazing… Well, you want me to persuade her? Oh, I’m sorry, Teacher. She always makes decisions on her own affairs and even on our family’s affairs. We won’t interfere with her decision as long as she’s happy… No, it’s not a pity. We don’t think it’s a pity.”

The physical education teacher on the other end of the line finally understood why Sheng Yang said she didn’t need to discuss things with her parents regarding track and field.

He didn’t want to give up on such a track and field prodigy, so he found the Sheng family’s phone number and tried to persuade her parents.

Sheng Yang’s mother was happy for her daughter when she heard the news, but upon hearing her words, the physical education teacher finally understood why Sheng Yang was so confident and independent because her family dynamics were very good.

After Kang Weizhen hung up the phone, she almost hopped all the way to her daughter. She said mysteriously, “Yangyang, do you have anything to tell me?”

Sheng Yang seemed to think about it earnestly before shaking her head.

Kang Weizhen’s eyes dimmed a bit. It seemed that it would still take some time for her daughter to completely open up to her.

But shortly after, she began to talk about the phone call from the physical education teacher in high spirits and quickly forgot the tiny bit of sadness just a moment ago.

Why was her Yangyang so awesome? Although she had strong business acumen and easily obtained double Ivy League master’s degrees when she was young, she wasn’t good at sports. Meanwhile, Yangyang wasn’t only smart but was also good at sports, completely exceeding her.

Kang Weizhen placed no demands on Yangyang and only wanted Yangyang to live happily and smoothly, so she was overjoyed to discover that her daughter had even a small advantage, not to mention…
