<h4>Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Song Xiaoning Takes Office Directly</h4>


    Heidi Leighton curved her lips into a slight smile and said, "The Leighton Family has been considering entering the jewelry industry recently to develop a new sector. Now is a great opportunity, and my father wants me to learn more from President Lancaster."


    "Since Julian Lancaster made Nina Sinir the head of Elysian, you should let me establish an equivalent jewelry brand at Zenith as well. This way, we kill two birds with one stone by having mepete with Nina Sinir to determine a winner, and it also proves my capabilities."


    After finishing, Heidi Leighton deepened her smile and said, "You’ll soon be able to see the results, Elder Lancaster."


    Her confidence made it look as though she did not think of Nina Sinir as a threat.


    In fact, Heidi Leighton naturally possessed such confidence. After all, she graduated with top honors from the international business school’s economics department, full of confidence in her abilities. In terms of business acumen and management skills, Nina Sinir was not her match at all.


    It’s safe to say Nina Sinir couldn’tpare to her at all!


    Old Master Lancaster pondered, finding Heidi Leighton’s argument quite reasonable.


    The Lancaster Family’s mistress needed to be a capable woman to be able to take over. Eventually, once Heidi Leighton outperformed Nina Sinir, Julian would realize what would be most beneficial for him!


    For businessmen, the most important principle is profit first, even when ites to marriage.


    Old Master Lancaster found the idea of talking aboutughable love absurd, believing there was no real love between prestigious families!


    After thinking for a moment, Old Master Lancaster sighed, "Alright, since it’s like this, I’ll make the decision to agree with you!"


    Heidi Leighton burst into a joyful smile and said, "Thank you, Elder Lancaster, I will perform well."


    ...


    On this day, everyone arrived early at the Elysian design department.


    Especially Reba Lowell, who arrived at the office an entire hour early, full of anticipation, for today was the final round of the selectionpetition for the head of Elysian.


    Last night, Reba Lowell had spent the whole evening coyly approaching ’President Lancaster,’ hinting that her previous failure was due to Nina Sinir and Mrs. Leighton, hoping he would step in to help out.


    Later on, President Lancaster very gentlyforted her, saying there would still be opportunities in the future, though it was unclear if he understood her intentions.


    In reality, Reba Lowell thought she was flirting with President Lancaster, but it turned out she was actually dealing with Marcus Walsh, temporarily standing in for Julian Lancaster.


    Marcus Walsh appeased her by saying there would be opportunities next time because he knew Julian Lancaster would grant Nina Sinir privileges, giving her other opportunities for promotionter.


    However, Reba Lowell misunderstood, thinking he meant her initial failure wasn’t a big deal, and he would help with the nextpetition.


    So this time, she assumed she would defeat Nina Sinir with President Lancaster’s help!


    The design department staff gathered in pairs or trios, eagerly anticipating as Julian Lancaster, mistaken by everyone as President Lancaster’s assistant, appeared.


    Nina Sinir had had a close encounter with himst night, and now seeing him, maintaining a calm demeanor was truly challenging, making her face flush even at a nce.


    Looking at Julian Lancaster, her mind couldn’t help but conjure tantalizing images.


    Images of his warm hands roaming over her, with her as a lone boat in the vast ocean swaying under his steering...


    Nina Sinir quickly suppressed the messy thoughts running through her mind.


    What was she thinking about!


    Thankfully, she managed topose herself soon, so nothing appeared amiss outwardly.


    Julian Lancaster expressionlessly took out a document and publicly announced, "ording to the decision by Zenith Headquarters leadership, Nina Sinir has performed excellently, and the uingpetition is no longer necessary. From now on, Elysian will be fully managed by Nina Sinir."


    Wow!


    Everyone at Elysian was stunned, unable to believe such a reversal had urred.


    The finalpetition was canceled, and Nina Sinir became the head of Elysian?


    Even Nina Sinir herself was utterly perplexed, not knowing what was happening.


    From the start of Mr. Leighton’s matter, everything seemed unexpectedly smooth, as if she had a powerful backing making everything fortunate.


    Reba Lowell, who was gearing up in full swing, was taken aback when Nina Sinir leapfrogged to the position, instantly blindsiding her!


    Right then, Reba Lowell loudly protested, "Impossible! Did you make a mistake?"
