While the series does imply the possible existence of the so-called "Nen gene", with the Zoldycks being a prime example. But with the same theory, it could also be used to argue that Gon may in fact, not have acquired his alleged Enhancer gene from his biological parents but from his grandparents or even earlier due to simple biology mechanisms. As such, there really isn't much point bringing this into "who's the parent of who" kind of theory because it works both ways equally.

Nen also does not dictate one's personality, nor is it the other way around. There is just a correlation between the 2 and that's all, and it's never concrete even by the series' own admission. There are plenty of characters that don't function by their type's supposed stereotypes: Netero is among most crafty character in the series (we never get a good peek at it but Pariston has said that even he has trouble competing against Netero in wits, hence why he hodls the late-chairman in such a high regard), and similarly in the case of Wing he is neither selfish or motivated; they are both the polar opposite of the generic description of an Enhancer. Killua while fickle like a cat in terms of his interests, he rarely lies (and is shown to be a terrible one when he does so) unlike say Hisoka, who is fits the stereotypical description of a Transmuter; and let's don't even get to Zeno or Silva. Kite does not brood or become easily radicalised should they be triggered unlike the general description of Conjurers, he's pretty cool with a lot of things; and simiarly, Cheetu who is born a Conjurer is dumb as brick with no sense of dignity and composure unlike the general impression that Conjurers tend to be intellectuals in some fashion. The list goes on.

What I'm trying to say with all this is that the supposed Nen genes and the Nen personality archetypes should not be taken seriously as they are not conclusive at best. They imo simply can't be used to support an argument, just like how stereotypes are never acknowledged as a valid for of back-up in any debates.

I think the main reason to why Cheadle seems to always be always on Ging's butt is because he alongside Pariston are the most uncontrollable people in the Zodiac. And because of how important and powerful the position of Zodiacs own (with presence in the entire Hunter Association only lower than the chairman and vice-chairman), as well as her usual strict personality, Cheadle simply runs into trouble with the 2 guys on a fundamental level hence she is always trying to "check-up" on them in attempts to keep them in line; even though she knows it's futile much to her frustration.

She merely expresses more nagging on Ging purely out of the fact Cheadle favours him over the other guy and views him as the lesser evil being the 2, since Ging while selfish he is also reasonable, the same can't be said about Pariston (Ging stated that he and Pariston are in fact the same kind of people underneath hence why he usually have a pretty good grasp on what Pariston is thinking. That said, possibly due to also being a scholar and a traveller, Ging is also much more moderate, reasonable and objective than Pariston). Another reason why Cheadle goes about Ging more is that she with Mizaistom, belong to the same faction that opposes Pariston, it makes a big difference. Cheadle's relationship with Ging could be interpreted as "trying to cooperate with", "seeking help from", "trying to regulate the wild card of" etc; while she merely sees Pariston as a threat or an enemy.

That's my view on why she tends to go about Ging in most of her current appearences in Chairman Selection arc. It's really not because there is a special "hint hint", but rather it's just that she is just a "big mama" for everything and is merely having issues dealing with the naughty Ging while completely giving up on Pariston to the point of antagonising him (not without reasons though, seeing the amount of shit he's implied to have pulled in the background).
