Chapter 90: The Insidious Old Fox
Chapter 90: The sinister old fox
Zhong Xiaofei pushed the door open and walked in, closed the door smoothly, and then smiled flatteringly at Yang Tianzeng who was sitting behind the desk.
The office was still luxurious, but Yang Tianzeng's face was very ugly. He stared at Zhong Xiaofei coldly, grabbed a report from the table, and held it up in his hand: "Explain to me, what's going on?"
Needless to say, Zhong Xiaofei also knew that the report was the profit of the investment department last night.
What happened last night, as soon as I got to work this morning, the report was already on Yang Tianzeng's desk. Li Sanshi really couldn't wait.
"Oh." Zhong Xiaofei apologized and said very sincerely: "I was about to explain this to you. I worked overtime last night and made a transaction. It was originally a secret. I didn't expect that Manager Li actually participated in the transaction at the same time. Although
There was no communication between us, but he seemed to have made the same judgment as me..."
"So he also made a profit? And it was twice as much as you?" Yang Tianzeng threw the report in his hand on the table, stood up, and stared at Zhong Xiaofei with a gloomy face.
It seemed that he could not accept Zhong Xiaofei's explanation.
Zhong Xiaofei nodded lightly: "Yes."
"Do you think...I will believe your lies?" Yang Tianzeng didn't speak for a minute. Obviously, he was planning how to deal with Zhong Xiaofei, or trying to judge from Zhong Xiaofei's expression whether Zhong Xiaofei was lying? The corner of his mouth
His trembling, fierce eyes were full of suspicion.
"I know the chairman doesn't believe it, but what I said is true. Compared with the chairman, I don't want Li Sanshi to gain benefits, but there is no way, it just happened." Zhong Xiaofei said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether the chairman
I will accept whatever punishment is given to me. I did something bad and I should accept the punishment."
Yang Tianzeng stared at him and said nothing.
Zhong Xiaofei just made a huge profit for the company last night. Although not as much as Li Sanshi, he still made great contributions to the company. He should be rewarded by the company, not punished. Of course, if Yang Tianzeng feels that Zhong Xiaofei has betrayed him
, posing a danger to him, he still has the right to deal with Zhong Xiaofei.
There was silence in the office. Yang Tianzeng stared at Zhong Xiaofei closely. Zhong Xiaofei faced him calmly, with apologies on his face, but not panic.
A minute later, Yang Tianzeng's face gradually softened. He turned around and walked away two steps with a cane. He said coldly: "This matter is too strange. I can't accept your explanation, but I still believe in your loyalty.
Because I believe Xiaoyi will not fall in love with a capricious villain!"
"Thank you, Chairman." Zhong Xiaofei replied softly, but the person he was grateful to was actually not Yang Tianzeng, but Wu Yijie.
Yang Tianzeng snorted coldly, walked to the window with a cane, and looked at the scenery outside the window: "Such a thing must never happen again, do you understand?"
"Understood." Zhong Xiaofei nodded and took two steps forward, getting closer to Yang Tianzeng.
Yang Tianzeng turned to look at him, with a strange expression on his thin old face: "Just understand... The shareholders' meeting will be held on the 18th. Before that, the investment department must not report any more status."
"Yes, President." Zhong Xiaofei replied respectfully.
Yang Tianzeng nodded, quite satisfied with Zhong Xiaofei's respectful and sincere expression. He glanced at Zhong Xiaofei and suddenly said kindly: "Is the new office comfortable?"
"Comfortable, thank you, Chairman, for your concern."
"Okay, last night's reports and accounts came out. Both you and Li Sanshi made a lot of money for the company. Well, in order to commend the two of you for your special contributions, I will propose at the afternoon meeting
I’ll give you two a little extra remuneration.” Yang Tianzeng walked from the window back to his desk.
Zhong Xiaofei nodded in surprise, and his heart beat a few times. An increase of one point in remuneration meant that his commission changed from one thousandth to two thousandths, and from four thousand US dollars to eight thousand US dollars.
He has been spending a lot of money recently, so this money is really timely for him.
"Thank you, Chairman. I will do my best to serve you."
After saying this, Zhong Xiaofei suddenly realized that he was becoming more and more disgusting, hypocritical, and simply a flatterer.
There is no way, in order to adapt to this dangerous society, people must prepare different faces to face different people, speak human words when meeting people, and tell ghosts when seeing ghosts. In order to survive and to protect the woman he loves, Zhong Xiaofei can only do whatever it takes now.
"You're welcome, you deserve this." Yang Tianzeng sat down in the chair and leaned his head on the back of the chair. "Okay, if there is nothing else, you can go."
"One thing... Li Sanshi called me just now and said that he wanted to treat me to dinner tonight. From his tone, it seemed that he had something important to discuss with me... Chairman, do you think I should go or not?
"Zhong Xiaofei told Li Sanshi's invitation calmly. He couldn't hide this matter from Yang Tianzeng. Facing it calmly was the smartest choice.
"Haha, Li Sanshi is very proud today. He is getting more and more presumptuous. Well... Xiaofei, it's up to you to decide whether to go or not. I won't force you, hehe."
Yang Tianzeng laughed twice, as if he was not surprised at all by Zhong Xiaofei's words. His laughter made Zhong Xiaofei feel uncomfortable. His intention was very clear, that is, to let Zhong Xiaofei choose his side.
Of course Zhong Xiaofei was well prepared. He said calmly: "Chairman, I am definitely yours. No matter what Li Sanshi says, I will never believe his words. But since he said he has important matters to discuss with me, I will
I want to listen to it. If it is unfavorable to the chairman, I will report it to you immediately."
Yang Tianzeng looked at Zhong Xiaofei, nodded lightly and said: "Okay, not bad, he has a brain. Then go and listen. I'm waiting for your news."
"Understood, Chairman, I'm going out first."
"Go." A scheming smile appeared on Yang Tianzeng's face.
The moment Zhong Xiaofei exited the office and closed the door, Zhong Xiaofei clearly saw Yang Tianzeng sitting at the back of the office. The smile on his face had disappeared and he was scanning him coldly with the corner of his eyes. Zhong Xiaofei lowered his head to dodge, feeling a feeling in his heart.
Feeling uneasy, he knew that in Yang Tianzeng's eyes, he was the enemy second only to Li Sanshi. When Li Sanshi fell, Yang Tianzeng would definitely deal with him.
Zhong Xiaofei felt more and more the danger of his situation.
"Manager Zhong." Seeing Zhong Xiaofei come out, secretary Xiao Zhou stood up and greeted him with a smile.
Zhong Xiaofei nodded and smiled at her in a friendly manner, his eyes involuntarily lingering on her for a moment.
"Are you really Xiaowei's brother-in-law?" Xiao Zhou blinked and asked softly when sending Zhong Xiaofei out of the office.
"Of course." Zhong Xiaofei replied with a smile.
"But……"
"But what?"
"But...why don't I feel like it?" Xiao Zhou pursed his lips and smiled.
"Why don't they look alike?" Zhong Xiaofei asked with a smile.
"Because... you don't look like a brother-in-law at all." Xiao Zhou blushed, pursed his lips and snickered.
Zhong Xiaofei laughed silently twice, releasing a lot of his gloomy emotions. Xiao Zhou's appearance is a stimulant for men. Any man standing in front of her will have his heart beat faster, his blood flow faster, and he will forget all the troubles.
.Although Zhong Xiaofei has not forgotten his troubles, he is really in a much happier mood.
After leaving the chairman's office, he took the elevator down to the fourth floor. When he passed the office hall of the investment department, Zhong Xiaofei glanced inside intentionally or unintentionally. After finding Chen Hao's back, his eyes paused for a few seconds with a complicated mood, and then
He quickly walked through the corridor and returned to his office. When he closed the door, he sighed softly, with a helpless frustration in his eyes, thinking: Is there no one trustworthy in my company?
Is there anyone yet?
"Ring..." The phone rang. Zhong Xiaofei originally thought it was Wu Yijie, but when he lowered his head, he saw it was an unfamiliar phone number. He picked it up and connected it: "Hello, who's this?"
"You're a puppy that doesn't keep its words. Do you want to send me away with just a text message and a bouquet of flowers?"
A sweet and delicate voice came from the phone, and Zhong Xiaofei's heart immediately beat loudly. It turned out to be He Peini! She and Zhong Xiaofei were in the hotel last night. Originally, Zhong Xiaofei said he would pick her up this morning, but
Zhong Xiaofei broke his promise and was forced by Xiao Wei to come to work first in the morning. However, Zhong Xiaofei sent a text message to He Peini and asked the flower shop to send a large bouquet of flowers. Inside was a small card: I wish Xiao Wei will always be beautiful.
"I'm sorry." Zhong Xiaofei quickly apologized: "I was caught by Xiaowei this morning and couldn't pick you up. You wait, I'll go now..."
"No, I'm not in the hotel anymore..." He Peini didn't seem angry, she was smiling on her phone.
"Where are you?" Zhong Xiaofei asked gently.
"I just got home and suddenly missed you, so I called you. I didn't bother you, did I?" He Peini's voice was tactful and pleasant, which could easily touch people's hearts.
Zhong Xiaofei's throat was a little dry, and he quickly replied: "Don't bother, don't bother." He knew in his heart that this strange phone number was He Peini's home phone.
He Peini laughed twice, and then suddenly asked a little shyly: "Do you... miss me?"
"I think." Zhong Xiaofei replied firmly without hesitation.
"Haha... you go to work, I won't disturb you anymore. Bye." He Peini was very happy after receiving a satisfactory answer.
"Bye." Zhong Xiaofei hung up the phone, feeling a little complicated because he didn't expect He Peini to be so annoying.
In addition, Zhong Xiaofei is not sure about He Peini's sincerity. After all, He Peini is Xiong Huilin's cousin. She is a honey trap sent by the couple to win over him. She is a sugar-coated cannonball. Maybe she and Zhong Xiaofei are together.
Acting, just like Zhong Xiaofei is also doing
It's the same as acting. Although He Peini looks innocent and cute, and she is still an inexperienced girl, Zhong Xiaofei does not dare to be careless at all. He keeps reminding himself in his heart that he must be careful. He must be in moderation and must not be greedy for He Peini.
Her beauty.
I sat down and turned on the computer, and my right hand habitually went to the table to touch the coffee cup.
Since Xiaowei came to the company, he drinks coffee every day.
But he didn't touch the coffee cup.
Just when I was disappointed, there was a gentle knock on the door.
