The Ledger: Mei-Ling Chan
An entry in our ongoing series profiling the Women of Empire
If you ask anyone on the executive floor of Empire Global about Mei-Ling Chan, you'll get one of three answers.
The women who haven't fought her describe her as elegant, untouchable, surgical. The women who have fought her and won describe her with grudging respect — the kind of respect reserved for opponents who made you earn every inch. The women who have fought her and lost don't describe her at all. They change the subject.
Mei-Ling Chan, 28, President of Empire Capital, has stepped onto the stage eight times. She has walked off it on her own feet six. She has been carried off it twice. Each of those fights has shaped her into the fighter who waited for Yuki Tanaka in the rain that night — calm, calculated, devastating.


Yuki Tanaka must know that Mei-Ling Chan is incredibly strong, so why is she so confident that she can beat her?
