Why did Zhang Xuming use the word begged?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the equipment that Xuming Medical Manufacturers produced was in high demand right now. Furthermore, the company had a long history of expertise in the industry. These factors made the company quite reputable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, shouldn’t the successor feel grateful to have this opportunity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Zhang Xuming to use the words “begged...” How talented was this person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Qirui’s voice was filled with curiosity: “Elder Zhang, your successor sounds incredibly talented. You should tell us more about him or her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xuming’s face was filled with smiles. However, he did not elaborate further. Instead, he kept his listeners in suspense:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahhh, about this. You guys can wait for a bit more. When the time comes, I will make a proper announcement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Announcing a successor for a major company was not a trivial matter. Naturally, Zhang Xuming treated the matter with utmost importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old gentleman around the same age as Zhang Xuming laughed before he said: “Elder Zhang, there’s so much suspense now. If I can’t sleep at night, I will have to blame you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the people next to him congratulated him as well: “Either way, I must congratulate you Elder Zhang. You finally found a suitable successor. I hope Xuming Medical Manufacturers becomes even better in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations Elder Zhang. Your wish has finally been fulfilled. From now on, you can rest in peace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone at the round table expressed their congratulations to Zhang Xuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Qirui also followed suit and joked: “Since he or she is your chosen successor, they must be outstanding in all aspects, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuming’s face became even happier: “Of course. I searched all my life for this person. I can finally hand over my work to someone with confidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xuming’s words made everyone more and more curious about his successor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that Zhang Xuming was a very picky person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his retirement wouldn’t have been delayed to eighty years old if this wasn’t the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of person did Zhang Xuming ask to be the next Chairman and CEO of Xuming Medical Manufacturers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, most people on the table asked Zhang Xuming several questions about the successor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhang Xuming’s answers were very vague. He did not say anything to help them make a guess. As a result, everyone had no idea who the successor was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of everyone on the desk, Jian Yiling was relatively quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Yiling did not open her mouth to ask Zhang Xuming any questions. She did not fit in with the lively surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Qirui’s gaze fell on Jian Yiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Yiling, are you a little uncomfortable right now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The relationship between the Wei family and the Zhai family was unknown to outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, Wei Qirui’s words seemed like he was caring for Jian Yiling. However, in reality, he was making fun of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m okay,” Jian Yiling replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, people changed. Jian Yiling was slowly adapting to lively situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these three years, with the help of Jian Yunmo, Jian Yiling became more used to crowds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the beginning, she hated being with groups of people. Back then, she did not know how to deal with communicating with other individuals. However, she gradually became better at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that Jian Yiling still did not speak a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Qirui smiled before he continued: “Why isn’t Master Sheng accompanying you today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We are independent individuals,” Jian Yiling replied. Her tone was cold and detached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, you’re attending Elder Zhang’s birthday today. On such an occasion, shouldn’t you both come together?” Wei Qirui asked. It was as though he was intentionally trying to pick a bone with Jian Yiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a private matter,” Jian Yiling replied. She felt that she did not need to explain the matter to Wei Qirui.\u003C\u002Fp>",656,"2026-06-06T02:09:04.789Z",1,"novelbin.me","50df29fcf7cea6ebd65c5bb6cbc0f1ab232f4aaa77724686bd9afe01207b8347","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-716","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-714",1465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-sidekick-to-bigshot-cover.jpg"]
