Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Don't Treat Us Like Fools!
Zhang Zhao went about his business with an exceptionally uplifted spirit.
Ren Qi stood behind Director Zheng, tenderly massaging his shoulders.
"Little Ren, to be a woman, you have to be sensible like you, right?"
Director Zheng, with eyes closed, said slowly, but his mind was filled with Yuan Siyi's face.
He harbored some hatred towards Yuan Siyi. Why can't you, woman, understand the mood? How many years would one need to struggle after graduating from college to earn a monthly salary of fifty thousand! And I've provided you with a platform, yet you rejected it!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his body started feeling uncomfortable as well.
He grabbed Ren Qi's small hand from his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you come home with me tonight?"
Caught off guard by this sudden change, Ren Qi felt somewhat at a loss. She had originally planned to keep Director Zheng on the hook, extracting some benefits before moving on to the next step wouldn't be too late.
But Director Zheng seemed much more eager than she anticipated.
"Director Zheng~ Sooner or later I'm all yours, are you afraid I'll run away?"
Ren Qi said with a smile, "I have plans with friends to go shopping tonight~ Can we pick another day?"
"Shopping?" Director Zheng snorted and said, "What's there to shop for without money? Come with me tonight, and you can pick any bag tomorrow!"
Ren Qi exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise, and no longer pretending, she turned around and squatted beside Director Zheng, looking up with pitiful eyes and said, "Then I'll do as Director Zheng wishes~"
Her coquettish tone made Director Zheng even more uncomfortable.
If it weren't for some matters he had to deal with today, he would take Ren Qi home right now!
"By the way, Director Zheng, from what you just said, is Mountains and Waters Corporation very big? Is it even stronger than our company?"
Ren Qi asked, her eyes gleaming. She always thought highly of herself; being by Director Zheng's side was just a means to reach a higher platform. Once she had a way out, Director Zheng, Manager Wang, they would all be garbage!
"It's more than big! You're fresh out of school and don't understand the current situation in Magic Capital. Mountains and Waters Corporation is the company of Magic Capital's current wealthiest man! If I board their ship, wouldn't my success soar?"
Director Zheng said contentedly, "So, you better stay by my side, you won't miss out on any rewards you deserve!"
"Then a pre-congratulations to you, Director Zheng~"
Ren Qi harbored other thoughts in her heart. Her own conditions weren't bad; otherwise, Director Zheng wouldn't have personally taken her on. If she could accompany Director Zheng to a high-level reception involving Mountains and Waters Corporation and seduce their general manager, her future wouldn't be just about buying whatever she wanted!
By then, with power and status, entering the world of the wealthy, Yuan Siyi would have to cry out in envy!
As for using the platform to get close to the wealthiest man of Magic Capital, she had never considered it from the start; after all, she was well aware of her own limits. If she looked like Yuan Siyi, she might still have a chance, but as it stands... best not to entertain that fantasy!
"Little Ren, I have an internal information disc here. Take it and study it well. Strive to perform well tonight!"
Director Zheng, with his eyebrows twitching, took out a long-cherished treasure from his desk. Ren Qi was already filled with contempt for him in her heart.
Internal information? Any normal adult knew what that was. Did she need to learn?
She probably knew even more than this greasy middle-aged man!
Just as Director Zheng was making passes at Ren Qi's hand, the phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Director Zheng excitedly slapped the desk, stood up, and cradled the phone in his hands as he answered the call.
"Hello, Director Chang, what are your instructions!"
The caller was Chang Bingzhong, the person in charge of the Magic Capital branch of Mountains and Waters Corporation. As Song Yun's assets were growing, the business scope of Mountains and Waters Corporation was also expanding.
As the head of a branch office closest to Chairman Song, he conducted his affairs with trepidation, fearing any slight mistake might provoke the ire of the big boss.
"General Manager Zheng, are you free tonight? How about a casual meal together?"
"Yes! To be honest with you, I've been waiting for your summons these past few days!"
General Manager Zheng said excitedly, "Just name the place, and I'll make sure to get there early!"
"Heh, we may be partners in the future, so there's no need to devalue yourself. How about this, let's meet at the Tianlun Hotel at six o'clock sharp tonight."
"Okay, okay, I look forward to your esteemed presence!"
After hanging up, General Manager Zheng let out a deep breath. It seemed the other party wanted to speed things up! This was good news for him! As long as he got hooked up with the Mountains and Waters Corporation, there would be no more worries about the company's IPO!
"It looks like I won't be able to enjoy your company tonight, beautiful!" General Manager Zheng chuckled.
"What's the matter, General Manager Zheng?"
"I'm going to discuss business with the head of the Magic Capital division of Mountains and Waters Corporation tonight. There might be an opportunity just waiting for me tonight!"
Ren Qi perked up upon hearing this news.
She tentatively asked, "General Manager Zheng, how about I go with you tonight to broaden my horizons? After you finish talking, we can go home together~"
General Manager Zheng was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "But let me make this clear beforehand, don't butt in when the big shots are talking! Otherwise, you're out of here tomorrow, got it?"
"Absolutely, I'll just be like a little accessory to you tonight, serving your tea and pouring your water~"
Ren Qi's docile demeanor put General Manager Zheng at ease.
At half-past five, General Manager Zheng arrived at Tianlun Hotel.
About ten minutes later, a stretch Lincoln pulled up from not too far away.
General Manager Zheng obsequiously went forward to open the car door for Chang Bingzhong.
"General Manager Zheng, hello. We really need to have a good chat tonight," Chang Bingzhong said with a smile.
"Whatever General Manager Chang wants to talk about, I'll be completely open and honest!"
The party entered the private room and ordered food and drinks.
Just as Chang Bingzhong was about to discuss the details of the investment, a subordinate with a grim face pushed the door open.
"General Manager Chang, there's an urgent matter."
Chang Bingzhong was puzzled by the subordinate's interruption. The company had dealt with everything that needed to be addressed. Could it be a summons from Chairman Song?
He apologized to General Manager Zheng before stepping out of the private room. The subordinate opened a folder and whispered, "The Inspection Department found some issues today; take a look!"
The Inspection Department was a new division recently established by Song Yun in various companies to scrutinize potential collaborators and internal problems.
Chang Bingzhong had never expected to be targeted by the Inspection Department. He furrowed his brows and read quickly line by line, until fury flickered in his eyes. He pushed open the private room door and stared hard at General Manager Zheng, demanding, "Zheng Si! You actually bribed high-level executives of Mountains and Waters Corporation to push through investment deals! You've got some nerve!"
Despite his anger, a cold sweat broke out on Chang Bingzhong's back; luckily, he hadn't signed any contracts with this bastard yet, or he would have been the one to take the fall!
Zheng Si was dumbfounded, standing still. How did Chang Bingzhong find out about his secretive acts of bribery???
"General Manager Chang, please don't wrong me... I am upright in my conduct, and bribery is beneath me!"
"Slap!!!"
Chang Bingzhong slammed the documents onto the table, "Don't take us for fools!"
