In an interview with Lawyers Weekly, Ms Ding discussed the way COVID has changed her work: “Most clients’ investment strategies have changed, from residential investment to commercial properties, or even agricultural lands in rural areas. There is more income stability in these investments.”

When asked about her way of work, Ms Ding reflected: “I provide high quality service with each client, achieving their demands and even exceeding their expectations.

“I’m not the kind of person that goes out and has dinner or drinks with clients, sitting and talking. I do my work and achieve for them. That’s what I’ve been doing for my whole career.”
