Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

"Yu Lu, you've really offended Supervisor Zhong Lezhi now," Li Minmin said, somewhat anxious for Zhao Yulu.

While Zhong Lezhi was there, she couldn't say much.

Only after Zhong Lezhi had left could she speak her mind.

She remembered that Zhao Yulu didn't seem like someone who would act impulsively.

Confronting a leader to their face, calling them a dog, that's a big taboo in the workplace.

Unless you don't want to work there anymore, that's when you would do something like that.

Otherwise, with such a sour relationship with the leader, how could you stay working at the company?

You clash with the leader and then say it's impossible to be forced out of the company.

What does that mean?

After all that, can you even stay at the company?

"Min Min, if I don't offend him, what else can I do? Can I possibly make him stop making things difficult for me?" Zhao Yulu said.

"Even so, dealing with him like that, how will you work in the future? Would it not be better to bear it for now and think of some other solution?" Li Minmin said.

"I've already thought of a solution," Zhao Yulu said.

"What solution?" Li Minmin asked curiously.

"I'll keep it a secret for now; you'll know when the time comes," Zhao Yulu thought about her upcoming role as the new president's assistant, feeling a bit of anticipation.

She wondered what expressions Tao Yingjun and Zhong Lezhi would have then.

She was looking forward to that moment, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Yu Lu, you can still smile about this; I really don't know what to say about you," Li Minmin said, at a loss for words.

"What else can I do if I don't smile? Should I be crying instead? The workplace doesn't believe in tears," Zhao Yulu said with a laugh.

"Alright then," Li Minmin responded resignedly, "Yu Lu, we started here together, and I really don't want you to leave the company. Let me help you. We'll work through lunch and stay late to work overtime, staying until 10 at night should do it."

She truly considered Zhao Yulu a friend. Even though they hadn't known each other long, she just felt like they got along really well, and that Zhao Yulu was the type that could become a close girlfriend.

"Min Min, I appreciate your kindness. It's clear that Zhong Lezhi is just following Tao Yingjun's orders to target me. Even if we do get the plan done, they'll find other ways to keep making things difficult. It's all useless," Zhao Yulu said.

"What should we do then? I really want to keep working with you," Li Minmin said with a frown.

"Don't worry, didn't I just say? I won't let them kick me out successfully," Zhao Yulu stated.

"Okay, I guess I have no choice but to believe you," Li Minmin said though she felt doubtful inside.

What could Zhao Yulu possibly do?

After all, Tao Yingjun's father is the vice-president of the company.

...

As lunchtime approached, the operations department began to buzz with activity.

"I've got some explosive news to share, who wants to hear it?"

A colleague suddenly spoke up.

"What explosive news?"

"Don't tell me you've got a celebrity as your girlfriend?"

"Go away, that's ridiculous. If Qian Nan could get a celebrity girlfriend, then my wife must be the granddaughter of the president of Pretty Country," another colleague joked.

"Most likely, it's about someone in the company, right?"

"Could it be that Tao Yingjun has another scandal with some female employee?"

"That's not 'explosive news.' At best, it's just regular news," a voice retorted.

"Qian Nan, stop beating around the bush. If you have some 'explosive news,' just spill it already!"

"Yeah, cut the crap and get on with it!"

Everyone turned their attention to the colleague named Qian Nan.

"Our company is going to be acquired!"

With a slight smile, Qian Nan revealed the news he had just learned.

Indeed, this news was truly explosive.

"What! Going to be acquired?"

"Our company is developing so well, it's the overlord of the online literature industry with annual profits of several billion yuan. Would the shareholders really want to sell their shares?"

"Yeah, have those shareholders gone crazy?"

"Impossible. With Chairman Qiu's ambition, he would never let someone acquire the company."

"Exactly, the company was founded by Chairman Qiu, and it's doing well at the moment, not short of money at all. There's no way Chairman Qiu would ever sell the company."

"Qian Nan, you're spreading false information, damaging the company's reputation. Be careful or the bosses will call you in for a 'tea talk'."

"This is definitely just a rumor. I don't believe our company is going to be acquired."

Shocked by the news, the crowd soon regained their senses and thought Qian Nan was spreading false information.

"It's true. Tao Yingjun said it. A classmate of mine from another department is on pretty good terms with Tao Yingjun. It slipped out while they were smoking together," Qian Nan said.

"Really? If Tao Yingjun said it, there might be some truth to it!"

"After all, Tao Yingjun is the son of the vice president. He wouldn't talk nonsense about this kind of thing without reliable information."

"Chairman Qiu and the other shareholders, are they really willing to sell the company, huh."

As soon as everyone heard that it was Tao Yingjun who had said it, they believed it almost completely.

Tao Yingjun's dad is the vice president, which carries a lot of weight.

"Check out the office gossip chat group. Others are talking about it too," Qian Nan said.

Everyone took out their phones and opened the company gossip chat group.

The group was created by Tao Yingjun.

It consisted of employees, and aside from Tao Yingjun himself, not a single company manager was in it.

The initial purpose of the group was for everyone to shoot the breeze however they liked.

It was also the go-to group for company rumors.

Any slight movements within the company could be caught here, and at the fastest speed at that.

So, virtually all of the company's grassroots employees had joined.

Employee A: Heard the company's getting acquired!

Employee B: I heard too, just not sure if it's true.

Employee C: It's true. I heard the source is Young Master Tao. His words are solid, no lies there.

Employee D: Young Master Tao, come out and confirm it, will you?

Employee E: Yeah, come on, speak up. This is about our company's future development.

Tao Yingjun: It's indeed true. The company is going to be acquired.

Employee F: Holy shit, it's for real!

Employee G: Who's going to acquire our company?

Employee H: Must be some bigwig in the business world.

Employee J: Isn't that obvious?

Employee T: Young Master Tao, spill the beans, who is it that's going to acquire our company?

Tao Yingjun: Heh, I'll tell you, the one acquiring our company is no ordinary player. A business giant doesn't even cut it.

Employee A: Holy cow, that's badass?!

Employee B: Young Master Tao, just tell us, who is it?

Employee Y: I'm guessing it's Ali. I heard from my uncle's cousin's son's classmate, who works at Ali. Ali has been eyeing the online literature sector, and zeroing in on our company is not surprising at all since we are the industry leader.

Employee K: Could also be Penguin. I heard from my sister's friend's cousin's uncle, who works at Penguin. Penguin is also making moves in the online literature industry.

Employee L: You two are something else. Can we be serious for a moment?

Employee M: Let's just listen to Young Master Tao. Stop teasing us, yeah?

Tao Yingjun: The previous two, one of you actually got it right!

Employee H: Holy shit!

Employee U: So it's either Ali or Penguin!

Employee G: Young Master Tao, please don't make us guess any longer.

Tao Yingjun: Heh, alright, I won't tease you guys anymore. It's Penguin that's going to acquire our company!
