Chapter 749 The Appointment

• “Why? Do you know this Liu Lan, Ying?” From her expression, Qin Ming inferred that the two were acquainted.
• Song Ying made no attempts to deny that. “We were in the same batch as trainees. Later on, she understudied with the four elders' Ivan Hardy who originally intended to groom her as his successor. There are no questions about her all-around abilities, but it's just that little bit harder to pin down where her loyalties lie. As a born and bred denizen of Huaxia, you may not understand how foreigners think, but the only reason they're loyal to Huan Ning Century Corporation is that they believe the group is able to provide them with high remuneration and a great standard of living.”
• She continued, “Of course, there's also the issue of ideological propagation. They tend to give a lot of credit to the higher-ups, which cultivates cults of personality. However, that is generally the case for employees lower in the hierarchy. Then, there are those in the upper management like Liu Lan. Would she harbor intentions to topple Huan Ning Century Corporation, or have the ambition to achieve more for herself? That won't be easy to pin down, because she already has that level of capability. All she lacks is the power and prestige.”
