Chapter 1086: Chapter 809: Mu Qingqing

Mu Lanqing asked, “Qingqing, who did you arrange for an interview at the Dream Fund?”

“A former senior female executive.”

Mu Qingqing replied, “This president worked alongside Chu Qiuyan for over twenty years, starting from the early days at Bobo Milk Tea. Currently, the entire senior management of Tengying Group is extremely tense, and no one knows who the next veteran to be eliminated will be. I’m going to ask her thoughts on this sudden departure.”

Mu Lanqing was puzzled, “How did you manage to interview her, and how would Tengying Group allow such an interview under these circumstances?”

“It’s because there’s too much external interference and information.”

Mu Qingqing answered, “Many people are posting online claiming that Tengying Group is getting rid of the old employees after the project is done, firing a bunch of veteran staff. Some even say this is preparation by the group’s founder to ensure his son takes over smoothly.”

“Does this mean that the interview assignment was approved by the senior management of Tengying Group?”

“Of course, it is.”

Mu Qingqing shrugged, “Think about it, Tengying Group is such a vast business empire; without their senior management’s approval, which deputy president would dare to come out and speak up after resigning? Even if she dared to speak out, we journalists wouldn’t dare to write about it, and even if we did, it wouldn’t be published.”

Mu Lanqing nodded, “That’s true. I thought you contacted her for an interview without approval from the higher-ups. That would never work.”

“Cousin, of course, I understand that.”

Mu Qingqing said, “I just think all the information online isn’t true. The first generation founder of Tengying Group has two daughters. Chen An’an is already the richest woman in the country in name and fact.

“She is also the chairwoman of multiple subsidiaries under the Tengying Group. Over the years, her capabilities are indisputable, making her the strongest second-generation successor in the country. As for the founder’s second daughter, Chen Xinyi, the investment fund she runs in Xiangjiang has always been the largest private investment fund globally.

“She doesn’t concern herself with what happens at Tengying Group. It was only half a month ago that she completed a massive overseas asset acquisition worth 160 billion. Given her talents and actions, she won’t manage the family business in the future, at most just overseeing it.

“As for the founder’s only son, I can’t even find out his name, let alone interview him. Information about him is always a business secret, never reported.”

“Cousin, do you know his name?”

The first-generation founder, Chen Pingsheng, has two daughters and a son; this is no secret.

Both daughters have appeared publicly in the business world and own their vast business empires.

Whereas the son is nowhere to be found.

Even finance journalists like them don’t know what the wealthiest second-generation is doing daily in the country.

Mu Lanqing awkwardly laughed, “Even if I knew, do you think I could tell you? How dare I tell you.”

Under the table, Mu Lanqing nudged her cousin, as the two sisters were very close.

Don’t put her in a tough spot by digging for insider information like this.

Should she even be doing this?

“Chen, there’s nothing much this afternoon, want a drink?”

Chen Pingsheng, who had almost been forgotten, was finally remembered.

“No, I still have to drive this afternoon, so I can’t drink.”

“Alright… since you don’t want to drink, could you at least share your thoughts on this reform so that little me could broaden my horizons?”

“What’s the use of telling you now? Even the best experience requires having that experience yourself before you grasp it instantly. Before you have that experience, telling you is meaningless.”

It wasn’t intentional, it was simply a fact.

Mu Qingqing found it quite strange; didn’t her cousin say she was just having a meal with a group leader from the company?

Why is she asking him for experience?

“I have to go to the Dream Fund this afternoon; want to come along?” Chen Pingsheng asked Mu Qingqing.

“Sure, I don’t have a car, I’ll catch a ride with you this afternoon then.”

“With your family’s situation, you could easily buy a car. If not, just have your cousin give you one, no big deal.”

This brought up a sore subject for Mu Qingqing. She put down her chopsticks, gritting her teeth, “I took the driving test nine times over two years, and at the last one, I was about to pass when an old man appeared out of nowhere and said he wanted to hitch a ride. I was so angry I almost exploded on the spot.”

Alright… it’s easy to see she’s frustrated with the driving test. After all, the rollercoaster of emotions could even disturb her breath.

How intense was the emotional turmoil?

“Your experience is quite unique. It’s okay, keep trying for another two years. After all, you’re still young.”

Some people just have a naturally high barrier to learning to drive.

Chen Pingsheng was going to the Dream Fund this afternoon to meet with Chu Qiuyan, and also to inquire about his son Chen Lu.

Many outsiders thought he was removing so many veteran staff to pave the way for his son.

Actually, if he didn’t act now to remove the veterans, these people might fill every position with their next generations.

They could even provide excellent opportunities during position promotions.

The group had been established for almost thirty years, and many of their descendants were reaching the age to join or had already been employed for a few years.

Only those who have been parents understand a parent’s love.

For their children, they would indeed toss group interests aside.

Even Zhang Wanyi was making such mistakes, let alone others.

If the group were to pass entirely to the next generation of these veteran staff, the consequences would be dire.

Anyone can foresee it.

Mu Qingqing didn’t know why he was going there, she just thought he was another person trying to curry favor because of her beauty.

After all, she had many such people around her. Rich ones would be straightforward, asking how much money to follow them.

The not-so-rich ones would prefer doing something extra special to show their sincerity.

Meanwhile, the older ones liked to act as an uncle providing care, using their charming personalities to woo her.

Mu Qingqing, being stunningly beautiful, had seen all kinds of tactics.

She was never shocked by these things.

When Chen Pingsheng went to get the car, Mu Lanqing reminded her, “Qingqing, be polite to this guest.”

“I’m quite polite!”

“Anyone can see through your fake politeness.”

“Cousin, are you alright? Are you trying to set me up on a blind date with someone so old?” Mu Qingqing stared at her cousin with a surprised look.

“What nonsense are you thinking.”

Mu Lanqing gave her a disapproving glance, “With that small amount of meat on your chest, your cousin inviting you to the same table with him is already a huge blessing. Don’t act as if he’s vying for your beauty.”

“Cousin, that’s going too far. You know I’ve never lacked for wealthy second-generation suitors; it’s just that I never pay them any attention.”

What Mu Qingqing said wasn’t wrong.

Mu Lanqing tapped her on the forehead, “Don’t compare him with those second-generation suitors; that’s just tarnishing his identity.”

“Cousin, are you alright? He’s just a small group leader at your company, isn’t he?”

“You! No wonder you’re not well-endowed.”

Mu Lanqing couldn’t make her understand, nor could she tell her directly.

Otherwise, if she were to interview Chen Pingsheng to death, she might never have the chance to dine at the same table with him again.

Some people’s identities are simply beyond their reach in that social class.

If they brag about it while he’s just experiencing life, people will disdain them the next day.

In over a month, it’s the first time Mu Lanqing invited someone unfamiliar with Chen Pingsheng to dine with him.

She was quite cautious, even introducing them before the meal, showing her really prudent side.

Mu Qingqing’s family conditions were also good.

At least she doesn’t need to rely on anyone; financially she isn’t lacking at all.

Mu Lanqing had done enough reminders; saying more would be pointless.

When Chen Pingsheng came out to pick them up, the top-tier Maybach was indeed impressive.

For an ordinary woman, it would have a big impact, but for a girl never short of wealthy second-generation suitors, it was nothing more than that.

There’s no chance she’d throw herself at him just because of a luxury car.
