Personal history
Born December 27th, 2084, Na was the third of five children to two local entrepreneurs in Yidu. Although their tech repair services took them far and wide, Na and her siblings were raised by her Uncle. Her childhood required her to be independent and a peacemaker between her siblings and her cousins. Although not naturally studious, she maintained above average marks in school, and was able to be accepted to the University of Strausbourg to earn her bachelors and masters in Business Administration.
Originally wanting to be to close to her family, she applied for a managerial position in Fuyao Glass Industry Group. However, due to her foreign education, the leadership of Fuyao asked if she would be willing to take a position in Fuyao Beimei. The pay, including housing and regular trips back home being accommodated, seemed like an adventure she could not miss out. At the age of 26, Na moved her life across the world to help manage the corporate nation.
Na's management style was curiously compassionate, one that her superiors did not understand. It wasn't that she was sweet and friendly, but her pragmatism was rooted in a protective nature and a sympathetic ear. As much as she kept a straight face with most Fuyaoans, the citizens couldn't help but feel heard, which endeared most everyone to her. It took the better part of a decade before the leadership began to recognize the success of Na's tactics.
Na ended up marrying another of the Fuyaoan elite in 2117, Isaac Kwong. He and his family had been more entrenched in Fuyao Beimei since the early 2020's. Both held prestigious positions in Fuyao, but Na's career was the one who really flourished. Neither felt the need to have their own children, being very invested in their local families and in the people who they lead. Na would say with a grin sometimes, "With some employees, their children enough for one person."
In May of 2138, Na was named the Chief Executive of Fuyao Beimei by the voting investors.
In June of 2161, Na indicated that she would be looking to retire, and the investors would vote on her successor.
On November 4th, 2161, Na announced that Tao Lin would be named her successor. Soon after, Na and her husband went to travel back to Fuqing for an extended vacation.
