Chapter 594: 301 President (Second Update)

Ming Jing closed the bedroom door.

Upon turning around, a middle-aged woman holding a tea tray was standing in front of her.

The woman was around forty years old, quite short, under 1.6 meters, and slender. She had coarse skin, and her long, slender eyes revealed a shrewd expression.

The oversized servant’s uniform she wore hung loosely on her body. When she opened her mouth, she revealed a set of neat, big white teeth.

“Are you the new servant of the Zhu family?”

Li Juan was somewhat flattered, as the young lady’s voice was so gentle and polite.

“Yes, Miss, here’s your tea.” Li Juan handed the tea to her.

Ming Jing didn’t take it, “Thank you, please take good care of Madam in the future.”

“That’s what I’m supposed to do.” Li Juan was somewhat puzzled, why did she call her Madam?

So it seemed that the fake daughter had pushed the real one out, and the real daughter was angry and refused to acknowledge her biological parents.

Li Juan constructed a grand drama of love and hatred in her mind.

Ming Jing went downstairs, gave some instructions to Madam Zhou, and then left.

Li Juan leaned against the doorframe, waiting until there was no hint of anyone before smacking her lips. She took out a handful of melon seeds from her apron pocket, which she had found somewhere, and said while chewing, “The Zhus have really gone blind. They don’t care for such a good真千金 [real daughter], but instead dote on a fake daughter who’s useless. They must be insane.”

Madam Zhou quickly glanced around and walked over to knock on Li Juan’s head, “Keep your voice down, do you still want to work here or not?”

This girl was really thoughtless when she spoke.

But she couldn’t deny that there was some truth to what she said.

Li Juan touched her head, “Don’t worry, no one heard.”

Madam Zhou gave her a glance, “Xiang Xiang is the one who helped you, do you think it’s polite to talk about her like that behind her back?”

Li Juan accurately threw the melon seed shells into the trash can and grinned, “I only care about truth, not sentimentality. Don’t try to use morality to hold me hostage.”

At this moment, a car drove in. Li Juan immediately put away her melon seeds, wiped her mouth, and a fawning smile appeared on her face as she went out to greet the guest enthusiastically,

“Miss, you’re back! I’ve prepared your favorite tea for you…”

Madam Zhou was stunned by this scene.

Did you learn the art of face changing from Sichuan opera?

Liu Muxue hurried back to Liuxian Town the next day. The air in big cities was not fresh, and nowhere compared to Liuxian Town.

Classes resumed on Monday, and Ming Jing returned to school.

After more than half a month’s absence, even the gazes of her classmates felt somewhat strange.

The principal specifically commended Ming Jing and Song Yinzhang for their outstanding performance in the CMO during his speech after the flag-raising ceremony. Both of them had secured guaranteed admission to Huaqing University.

In this school, an elite education was practiced, allowing students to have the best learning conditions and educational resources. However, talent was important for this path, and not many students could walk this road successfully. Jiang Jinchen had performed well in the CMO two years ago, earning a guaranteed admission to Jiangzhou University.

Ming Jing and Song Yinzhang were the students who had gone the furthest in this field. The final national team roster hadn’t been announced yet, probably by New Year’s Day. If the two of them got in and ranked in international competitions, their achievements would be immeasurable.

This student Ming Jing was incredibly strong. As the daughter of the Zhu family, the sister of Shen Zhou, and a philanthropist, she had achieved so much before her seventeenth birthday.

The key to such great achievements was that she remained neither arrogant nor impatient, neither humble nor aggressive, which made people admire her even more.

All the students in the school witnessed the principal, who never looked at the students with kind eyes and always scolded them, speak passionately about Ming Jing for twenty minutes on the stage. In comparison, Song Yinzhang, who also achieved good results, was only briefly mentioned.

Song Yinzhang admitted that he wasn’t worthy.After all, Ming Jing often becomes a trending topic, making the school famous along with her. The school board is delighted, and the principal is full of praise for her.

In Class 1/8, Ji Dagui exclaimed, “Our sister Jing is truly amazing, praised by the principal for so long, it’s a first in history. Shaodan, you’re so lucky.”

Zhou Xiang nodded in agreement; “If I had such a powerful sister, I would wake up laughing from my dreams.”

The two were not afraid of offending Zhu Shaodan anymore. They believed that Ming Jing was impressive no matter what.

Zhu Shaodan lagged at the end of the line, hands in his pockets, standing lazily with his messy hair stubbornly standing upright in the cold wind, and a few strands of purple hair revealed.

He rolled his eyes and sneered, “A bunch of fools, what do you know?”

“We may not know, but we believe what we see. Now, Sister Jing has become a fashion icon in Jiangzhou. The clothes she wears sell out online, not to mention how much money she makes for the Jockey Club. If you don’t embrace Sister Jing and enjoy the good life, aren’t you being silly?”

Zhu Shaodan took a deep breath: “You guys just wait, you’ll regret it sooner or later.”

Ji Dagui and Zhou Xiang looked at each other, both convinced that Zhu Shaodan’s mind wasn’t functioning properly. They thought he must have had too much tainted milk powder as a child, which ruined his brain. Better forgive the child.

In the evening, the Jockey Club’s official Weibo released a new message, announcing that Ms. Ming Jing would be appointed as the honorary president of the Jockey Club, and there would be a press conference and inauguration ceremony for the new president this weekend.

This announcement caused quite a stir on the internet. If it was just small talk before, this move officially announced that Ming Jing had entered a higher echelon.

She was no longer just a student and a social celebrity. People with keen senses could perceive something more.

Jockey Club today is not what it used to be. It has gradually become a symbol of Jiangzhou, receiving strong support from the government and becoming a major economic pillar of the city. The latest financial report shows that its revenue has already exceeded that of medium-sized enterprises.

And this is just the beginning.

As for the President of the Jockey Club, it’s an alluring position that many people desire but cannot achieve. Now it has actually fallen to a young girl.

Upon further thought, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with it. Her performance at the horse racing event was evident to all, and no one was more qualified than her.

She had just won a gold medal in the Winter Camp, was admitted to Huaqing University and had a good chance to join the national team. People hadn’t recovered from her impressive academic achievements when she suddenly became the president of the Jockey Club.

One surprise after another.

Due to this news, the internet exploded, and Ming Jing’s name once again topped the hot search list. Some people didn’t understand what caliber the Jockey Club was.

— Is it the Horse Supervisor from Journey to the West? The one responsible for horses, just asking casually [dog head]

— Horse Supervisor? Read more books if you don’t understand. The full name of the Jockey Club is the Royal Jiangzhou Horse Racing Club, a non-profit club organization approved by the government, specializing in horse racing and gaming entertainment. It’s also the largest charity organization in Jiangzhou. Besides, the Jockey Club is involved in dining, entertainment, socializing, and many other businesses. Economists predict that, with the current development speed and government support, plus its own influence, in less than three years, it will become a leading industry in Jiangzhou. The Jockey Club has a board of directors with eight committees under it. The president of the Jockey Club is the nominal chairman of the board. Do you understand now?

After the explanation, no one asked such a foolish question again.

Everyone understood how impressive the title of the Jockey Club was.

The common folk, who had never seen a horse, let alone ridden one, only knew that the Jockey Club seemed to be a very powerful organization.

Those in the know laid their eyes on this teenage girl for the first time.

Even though she was just a tool of manipulation for two powerful figures, her simple existence made her far from ordinary.

Nobody knew that this was just the beginning, and there were many more miracles yet to be created in the future.

And the name of that miracle was merely two syllables:

Ming Jing.

“Mr. Zhu, your daughter is incredible. At such a young age, she has reached this position. Her future achievements are limitless,”

At the table with drinks and smoke, a bunch of old-timers who had just shown no signs of compromise began swaying like the wind upon hearing the news, immediately praising Ming Jing.

When Zhu Wentao figured out that it was because Ming Jing had become the President of the Jockey Club, his expression became much more colorful.

This girl always did big things quietly, always giving people a shock.

“Mr. Zhu, why don’t you look happy? With such an outstanding daughter, shouldn’t you be content? But your face looks so distressed. Could it be that the rumors are true, and your family prefers a fake heiress, pushing Ming Jing out the door?”
