It seemed that making Zhao Anan the principal had been the right decision.
Seeing Shangguan Ning’s astonishment, Zhao Anan could not help but feel a bit proud. “Miss. Shangguan, don’t look at me in such an admiring way. I may become conceited!”
Shangguan Ning replied with a smile. “Principal Zhao is an excellent principal and it is quite normal for me to admire you. I think that you are becoming very charming. I had thought that you would be having a terrible time at school, but now it seems that I don’t have to worry about anything!”
Pleased, Zhao Anan said happily, “Did you know that these days, I get up very early and sleep really late? I have been so occupied! But I have learnt a great deal, and the assistant which my cousin gave me, is so talented. He knows everything and everybody. With his help, I end up making almost no mistakes!”
Shangguan Ning encouraged her. “Yes, you have done well till now and you will do even better with the passage of time. Everything starts with difficulty yet it will turn better when you are used to it.”
Zhao Anan, who had been cautiously optimistic, was not so glad this time. She said worriedly, “I don’t think so! Being a principal is such a tiring job. Now I understand why most principals and directors are bald. They are simply too tired. That Min is becoming fatter and his head has started to grow hair now that he is off the position. Do you think that I will become bald as well, if I continue to be the principal for two more years? How scary!”
Shangguan Ning was just imagining how Zhao Anan would look with a bald head and she burst into laughter.
Seeing her best friend laughing at her, Zhao Anan looked at her fiercely. “Stop laughing! If I ever turn bald, I will also make you go bald!”
Zhao Anan had been complaining about school life, but Shangguan Ning could tell that she was doing well.
The school had many students and as a principal, she needed to take on many responsibilities. And that was a pressure she had never felt before but it was helping her to mature fast.
She had never done any long lasting tasks until now.
Zhao Zhao and the Old Lady of the Zhao Family had always thought that Zhao Anan would never take any responsibilities, and hence, they didn’t train her to take up a high position. They simply allowed Zhao Anan to do something inconsequential, so that even if she made a mistake or gave up on something, there would not be any serious consequences.
Even she had not dared to make her a principal. What if the school was ruined? The children’s future would be ruined too, despite whatever money they offered as compensation later.
Only Jing Yichen did not care about it. Even if Zhao Anan tore down the school, he would still stay calm and unemotional.
Shangguan Ning and Zhao Anan were babbling in the bedroom while Jing Yichen fed Jing Rui the milk bottle, put him to sleep and then went to his study to deal with office matters.
Jing Yichen had not ceased dealing with Jingsheng Enterprise these days, but was only looking at urgent matters. Still, there was a great amount of workload to handle. Thanks to his in-depth knowledge of the enterprise, he finished everything fast.
He had many things to deal with today, and because of his fast recovery, it all went smoothly.
Jingsheng Enterprise had been focussed upon doing charity, and he approved one of the projects about donating 200 million to the society.
But his condition was that the donation would go to the education side, so that the poor children could attend school and the excellent students with poor backgrounds could get the benefit. He also demanded that scholarship be established at University of X so that all the poor students could be exempted from tuition fees and enter there. Any excellent student could get a scholarship and be provided with the chance to study abroad.
Jing Yichen had put his focus on school this year for the sake of Zhao Anan.
Many poor children studied harder than rich kids. They had excellent grades although they might not have a wide horizon. If more diligent students could appear at University of X, then the level of the school would rise, and Zhao Anan, as the principal would also gain enough fame.
Jingsheng Enterprise made donations every year, sometimes to the disaster-stricken area, sometimes to the development of outskirts. Most of the orphanages and elder’s homes had also been donated by Jingsheng Enterprise. It was the first time for the enterprise to donate to University of X.
There were several significant collaborations these days between Ji’s Enterprise and Jingsheng Enterprise. Ji’s Enterprise was under the absolute control of Ji Bo and with the help of Jingsheng Enterprise, its stock had started rising and the business was getting back to normal.
But Ji’s Enterprise had lost a large number of talented employees and clients and that was a kind of loss which could not be made up within a short period of time.
Ji Bo would have become very annoyed in the olden days, and he would have tried hard to raise Ji’s Enterprise’s speed of improvement. But now, he was not that ambitious and had no plans to exceed Jingsheng Enterprise.
He understood the distance between himself and Jing Yichen, clearly. It was all due to Jing Yichen’s effort that The Ji Family was recovering well at the moment.
Jing Yichen had no interest in controlling The Ji Family, but he was not going to allow them to exceed his own family. He was not kind-hearted enough to help Ji’s Enterprise without any personal reasons.
Therefore, he did not do any such collaboration with Ji’s Enterprise, and made some conditions stricter. In this way, he was able to guarantee that Jingsheng Enterprise was always in the advantageous status.
The following day, Zhao Anan learnt that Jingsheng Enterprise had made a donation to University of X.
The donation caused a sensational effect in the entire school and the city, because the amount was way too vast. It had topped all the donation amounts which University of X had received till date!
Even newspapers and TV were promoting this news, so Jingsheng Enterprise got some publicity and so did University of X!
Within a week after the new principal took office, a large amount of donation was delivered to school. People understood clearly that Zhao Anan, who was too young to be a principal, had a huge empire behind her back!
