Chapter 39 The Wicked Mei Yu

Clarence noticed Ning Yao’s confused expression. He asked her to sit down and asked, “You saw Mei Yu just now. What do you think of him?”

Ning Yao didn’t understand why Clarence would suddenly ask this. She was a little nervous and sat up straight. After thinking about it seriously, she answered carefully, “I had a pretty good impression of him.”

She couldn’t possibly say that her other boss was bad, even though that boss wasn’t her direct superior.

“I know you’re embarrassed to call him stupid. “You’re one of my people, but he treated you like that. This shows that he’s a scheming person and that he doesn’t respect me that much.”

Ning Yao’s heart beat faster when she heard the words ‘you’re one of my people’.

Although there was nothing wrong with this sentence, it still felt a little strange.

Clarence then briefly told Ning Yao about Mei Yu’s cooperation with Jin Qi. After listening to the story, Ning Yao had a clear impression of Mei Yu.

To sum it up in one sentence, he had ambition, but he didn’t have the brains and courage to match it.

“Mei Yu has done a lot of projects in the past few years, but he had screwed up all of them. He was originally in charge of the Donghe project and invested 200 million yuan into it. But because he was scammed, he chose a piece of land with unclear property rights. Until now, the money hasn’t been returned.”

Clarence’s tone was calm. There was no hatred or resentment towards Mei Yu, but Ning Yao could not help but feel aggrieved for him. It seemed that he had been cheated by Mei Yu many times over the years.

“The business partners are naturally unhappy with the problem and want to file a lawsuit against us. I can’t ignore this matter, so I took out a sum of money that I had originally planned to use to invest in something else to block the hole and arranged for Lily to go over to solve the problem.”

As Ning Yao listened, she thought to herself that Lily was indeed very capable. She couldn’t help but think of herself. Since Clarence valued her so much, could she perform as well as Lily?

“Now that the problem has been solved, Mei Yu is starting to get smug again. He says that this project will definitely make money and that he was just tricked. In less than two months, he brought another person over and said that this person is very professional. He wants this person to be in charge of this project.”

Ning Yao finally understood that Mei Yu had snatched the project away again.

How could this person be so wicked?

“So, this new person Mr. Mei brought in is not good enough?” asked Ning Yao tentatively.

“If he was, would I let you take charge?” Clarence laughed. “This person isn’t very capable, but he’s not stupid either. The disgusting thing is that this person is very cunning. He deliberately delays the progress of the project. Something that could have been completed in half a year has already been delayed for a year. If you urge him and scold him, he will give you some excuses and continue to delay.”

Ning Yao was completely speechless.

Why was the person Mei Yu found as annoying as he was?

Still, she could understand this person’s mentality.

Sometimes, if one did something too easily, it would show that they were not that capable. So, in order to make people think that they were powerful, they had to exaggerate the difficulty of the task.

By doing so, the person could improve his qualifications and show that he was quite incapable.

The reason he dared to do so was probably that he guessed that, like Mei Yu, Clarence did not know anything about the food and beverage industry. The F&B industry had been in a slump in recent years and he must have been using this excuse to stall progress. However, Ning Yao knew that Clarence was not someone who did not understand such things.

She had been working for Clarence for a long time and she had never seen anyone who knew the business better than him.

Not only did Clarenceunderstand the operation of capital, but he also understood the human heart. If a person like him was not a partner but an enemy, it would be terrible. Sometimes, the game of business depended on the human heart.

Clarence tapped his fingers on his knee. “That person must have thought that as long as he could fool Mei Yu, I wouldn’t be able to do anything to him and he could continue to be the project manager. “But I don’t want to let him continue to live comfortably, so I need you to help me.”

Ning Yao had never thought that someone as powerful as Clarence would need her. Her heart was filled with a warm feeling and her blood was boiling.

“Mr. He, you’re too kind. I’m your subordinate. I’ll do whatever you tell me to

do.”
