“Yes, an institution where ‘Peak Empire’ holds a 30% stake.” Jones said.
“What department?”
“Languages. Miss Ye Ye is proficient in English, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, six languages.” This was what Jones found in the school records.
“French?…” Dean furrowed his brows thoughtfully, recalling that morning in the room when Ye Ye acted strangely after he called Misha — so, she understood everything… yet pretended not to…
“President, should I investigate Miss Ye Ye’s family background?” Jones brought up the subject again. “I feel, Miss isn’t just an ordinary heiress…”
“No need. Investigate when I decide I want to know. Now, I just want to continue our bet…” Dean’s eyes were cold, filled with confidence and the light of a hunter…
“Jones, how is the ‘Shengshi Haoting’ project going in Italy?”
“30% of the initial capital has been secured, the approval for construction has just been issued yesterday, and we’ve sent people to start the groundwork and layout. The next steps are tendering for construction, design, and decoration.”
“Hmm, this project was originally under Lie’s responsibility, right?”
“Yes.”
“From now on, I’ll personally oversee this project. Let Lie and Xi stay at headquarters to manage operations.”
“So, the President is planning to work long-term in Rome?”
“Hmm, prepare all the materials on ‘Shengshi’. Starting tomorrow, you’ll accompany me to Rome.”
“Yes!”
A regular knocking sound came from the study.
“Come in!” Dean said coldly.
“President, we’re back!” Two tall, handsome young men entered, clearly of excellent mixed heritage.
“Hmm, sit down.” Dean looked at these friends and assistants, gesturing for them to sit.
“Why did you call us back so urgently?” Beitan Xi asked with a smile.
“I’m going to Italy. I’ll be in charge of the project there, while you two handle the headquarters and other regions. If there are crucial decisions to be made, report to Italy. Keep an eye on Reggie’s business in the Americas; he’s still a novice…” Dean instructed.
“Why the sudden move there?” Dongfang Lie asked, puzzled.
“No reason.” Dean refused to answer.
Lie and Xi exchanged a glance and smiled. It seemed Dean was deliberately avoiding the question, but this move definitely wasn’t without reason, as Dean never altered his planned work schedule!
