Chapter 38: Rising Another Level

  "Ah!" Zhong Xiaofei's anger burned, his fists clenched tightly. To be honest, if it was just Yang Tianzeng's power struggle, Zhong Xiaofei wasn't very interested and didn't have much fighting spirit. He was just an ordinary small employee who didn't want to get involved in the dangerous power struggles of the company's high-level executives.

  But when he thought of Li Sanshi's disrespect and covetousness towards Wu Yujie, a fierce anger suddenly rose in his heart. Ah, if Li Sanshi became the chairman of the company, wouldn't Wu Yujie be in danger? Especially after eavesdropping on Li Sanshi and Wu Yujie's conversation, Zhong Xiaofei's anger grew even more intense.

  "So we must defeat him." Yang Tianzeng stared at Zhong Xiaofei with piercing eyes.

  "Chairman, I understand. Tell me what to do!" Zhong Xiaofei clearly stated his attitude, and now he stood together with Yang Tianzeng, all for the goddess Wu Yijie.

  Yang Tianzeng didn't say a word, his eyes quietly gazing at him, then slowly asked, "I heard... you and Li Sanshi have a good relationship?"

  "No, I don't have any relationship with him." Zhong Xiaofei said firmly. Even if he had a good relationship with Li Sanshi, once he found out that Li Sanshi was harassing Wu Yijie, the best of feelings would be useless. Moreover, his relationship with Li Sanshi was not good to begin with.

  Yang Tianzeng nodded, "Mm-hmm, that's good. Your task is simple: get familiar with the deputy manager position as soon as possible, and then get familiar with the business of the investment department. In the near future, don't act as Li Sanshi's think tank, nor try to make profits for him. Also, listen to my commands at all times, and report back to me immediately if Li Sanshi makes any moves. Got it?"

  "Understood!" Zhong Xiaofei nodded firmly, and for Wu Yujie's sake, he had already decided to charge into this power struggle.

  "Ah, good, I will announce your appointment as soon as possible." Yang Tianzeng nodded in satisfaction.

  "Thank you, Chairman."

  "But before announcing it, I have another request." Yang Tianzeng said.

  "You said."

  Yang Tianzeng's face revealed a strange expression, and he said slowly, "Recently, I hope you can stay away from Xiao Yi for a while. Because before you become the manager of the investment department and become a successful man, you are not worthy of having Xiao Yi! You and she, are not worthy, you... do you understand what I mean?"

  Yang Tianzeng's words, each one spoken very slowly and clearly, were transmitted to Zhong Xiaofei's ears one word at a time.

  Zhong Xiaofei was shocked at first, and then a raging fire of anger surged up in his heart, this anger not one bit less than the indignation he had felt towards Li San Shi just now.

  Yang Tianzeng is obviously underestimating him! Damn it, old thing, you and Li Sanshi that fat pig are not much different, huh?! You still have a thief's heart for Wu Yijie?! After getting rid of me, do you think Wu Yijie will like an old thing like you?! Don't even think about it! She is mine!

  Zhong Xiaofei was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and a hint of anger slipped out on his face. He glared at Yang Tianzeng without saying a word.

  He didn't speak, and Yang Tianzeng's face showed a cold and cruel expression: "If you don't agree, then I'm sorry. I can only pay you half a year's salary and fire you. In my company, under my nose, at this stage, you are not qualified to talk about love with Xiaoyi!"

  "What makes you qualified?" Zhong Xiaofei asked coldly.

  "Li San Shi has been harassing Xiao Yi all along, but I had to endure it. Do you know why?" Yang Tian Zeng mentioned Li San Shi again.

  Zhong Xiaofei understood that unless he could make a lot of money for the company like Li Sanshi, Yang Tianzeng would not agree.

  Agreeing to Yang Tianzeng's request would mean a concession, meaning that the love fire he and Wu Yijie had just ignited might have to be extinguished for a while. Women are unpredictable, and he couldn't guarantee that Wu Yijie would still be in love with him after some time; but if he opposed it, it would mean losing his job, and everything would end... Zhong Xiaofei's mind was racing with thoughts of gains and losses.

  "If young people want to succeed, they must learn to endure, endure loneliness, and endure emotions. If you can't even do this, how can I expect you to replace Li San Shi?" Yang Tian Zeng said coldly.

  "Alright! I agree." Zhong Xiaofei suppressed the anger in his heart and nodded heavily.

  "Great!" Yang Tianzeng revealed a smile, but in Zhong Xiaofei's eyes, his smile was extremely eerie, even more terrifying than Li Sanshi's eerie smile.

  "Also, today's matter cannot be revealed to anyone, including Xiaoyi. Otherwise, our agreement will be invalid and you will bear all the serious consequences!" This was Yang Tianzeng's last words.

  This point, Zhong Xiaofei naturally understood.

  Having concluded the deal and walked out of the chairman's office, Zhong Xiaofei's mind was still in intense contemplation, thinking about how to face the next step.

  "Huh?" A pretty little secretary walked towards him, looking at Zhong Xiaofei in surprise. Apparently, she didn't understand how Zhong Xiaofei got in.

  It should be known that the chairman's office is not a place where small employees like Zhong Xiaofei can enter at will. When Zhong Xiaofei went in, it was through the back door, and when he came out, it was through the front door.

  Zhong Xiaofei looked up and took a glance, recognizing that this pretty little girl was called Xiao Zhou, Yang Tianzeng's special secretary.

  "Hello!" Zhong Xiaofei smiled faintly and greeted Xiao Zhou, her eyes scanning Xiao Zhou's chest. Xiao Zhou was also a beautiful young woman, who had just graduated from university this year, with fair skin, petite figure, and rosy cheeks, belonging to the type of person who is short but has large breasts.

  "You..." Xiaozhou wanted to ask him how he got in.

  "Shh!" Zhong Xiaofei made a zipping motion with her hand, signaling her to be quiet, then quickly slipped away from her side before she could react.

  "Hello, hello!" Little Zhou shouted anxiously for two sentences, then hastily opened the chairman's office to check if Yang Tianzeng was safe.

  Zhong Xiaofei slipped into the elevator and couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Xiao Zhou's flustered expression.

  But thinking of the task Yang Tianzeng had entrusted to him, he soon couldn't laugh anymore.

  Now he has become a mole arranged by Yang Tianzeng beside Li Sanshi. In this power struggle, he can no longer extricate himself.

  Back in the third-floor office, colleagues had already arrived at work. The computer screens in the office were shining brightly, and everyone was focused on their own work.

  Zhong Xiaofei was distracted at work, his mind restless, thinking about Wu Yajie, thinking about the flirtation earlier, thinking about Wu Yajie's soft breathing, thinking about her snow-white and plump twin peaks, her tenderly trembling two points, that red flush, his heart racing wildly, and down below, a sudden surge of excitement!

  Especially now that he knows, Wu Wei Jie is actually a virgin! No wonder when he touched her, she was so sensitive, almost as if a light touch would make her whole body tremble.

  Zhong Xiaofei was so happy she could die, and also so miserable she could die.

  However, he soon thought of the severe problem, how to complete the task given by Yang Tianzeng? The day before yesterday when he was promoted, he was excited and excited, but now that he has been promoted again, his mood is completely opposite. Promotion is a good thing, but the power struggle that follows is a headache.

  Li San Shi is a cunning fox, and dealing with him is absolutely not an easy thing.

  With Li Sanshi's cunning, when Zhong Xiaofei was appointed as the deputy manager, he would immediately understand that Zhong Xiaofei was Yang Tianzeng's mole by his side!

  Next, Li Sanshi may use his tricks on Zhong Xiaofei, especially since Li Sanshi just promoted Zhong Xiaofei from the domestic department to the foreign department, considering himself as Zhong Xiaofei's benefactor. But now, Zhong Xiaofei has surpassed him and is getting along with his enemy Yang Tianzeng, threatening his position. Do you think Li Sanshi will become furious?

  So he will definitely not let Zhong Xiaofei comfortably become a deputy manager, and he must think of ways to make things difficult for Zhong Xiaofei.

  These difficulties, Zhong Xiaofei must have mentally prepared for them.

  But he was not afraid because he had to defeat Li San Shi. Who made Li San Shi have ulterior motives towards Wu Yi Jie?

  Of course, we can't let our guard down against that old man Yang Tianzeng either. He's too shameless, at his age, he doesn't cultivate virtue at all, and he still wants to make a move on Wu Yijie...

  These two are not good people, they are old foxes, Zhong Xiaofei must be careful when facing them.

  His mind was wandering when he suddenly heard a soft voice beside his ear, "Mr. Zhong, your coffee is here."

  Look up, a long-haired beauty in a white shirt and black skirt uniform stood in front of her with a smile, holding a red wooden tray with a cup of strong coffee on it.

  Xiao Wei has come to deliver coffee again.

  "Thanks, Secretary Wei." Zhong Xiaofei took over the coffee and winked at Wei with a smile.

  Xiao Wei also blinked her eyes, then suddenly straightened up her small face and lowered her voice to say, "You went up to the 9th floor just now?"

  "Oh, yeah." Zhong Xiaofei admitted, knowing for sure that it was Xiao Zhou who told Xiao Wei.

  "What were you doing in the chairman's office? You scared Little Zhou sister..." Xiaowei pouted and complained.

  "The chairman called me and I couldn't not go. Hmm, what did Little Zhou say to you?" Zhong Xiaofei explained, while being a little curious about Little Zhou.

  "Hum, she said you look like a ghost, a big-headed ghost..."

  Zhong Xiaofei burst out laughing, feeling much more cheerful.

  But suddenly he was speechless, unable to laugh anymore, because he thought of a very serious problem.

  That's as his relationship with Wu Yu Jie progresses, the two of them will eventually have to hold hands and appear in public together. At that time, how will he face Xiao Wei?

  Xiao Wei always thought that he and her sister were in a romantic relationship, so she called him brother-in-law. But if Zhong Xiaofei held hands with another woman, what would Xiao Wei think? What would she do?

  Zhong Xiaofei felt a pang of emptiness in his heart. Alas, Wu Yijie and Xiao Wei were both important women in his life now, he didn't want to lose either one of them, but it seemed like he was going to lose one of them...

  How can fish and bear's paw be obtained at the same time? It's not that Zhong Xiaofei is greedy, but Xiao Wei is too lovely, he really doesn't want to lose her.

  Zhong Xiaofei thought to herself, thinking about every word Wei said in front of her since she appeared, every move she made, and even the intimate contact they had that night, Wei's trembling red lips, her dazed eyes... And there was something strange, Wei rarely mentioned her sister in front of Zhong Xiaofei.

  This is a bit unusual...

  Could it be... that Xiaofei suddenly had a bold idea in her mind, could it be that Xiaowei was pretending to be ignorant, but actually she already knew that her sister and Xiaofei had broken up?

  If she knew, why did she come to Zhong Xiaofei?

  Zhong Xiaofei racked her brains but couldn't think of a reason.

  He couldn't guess what was going on in Xiaowei's little brain.

  "Xiao Fei, here's what you wanted." A colleague tossed over a project plan.

  Zhong Xiaofei took it over and opened it to take a look, temporarily focusing on her work.

  Recently, the US stock market has been relatively calm. Since giving up on 09764, Li San Shi and the investment department have not found a new target yet. As a result, Zhong Xiao Fei and others did not need to work overtime for the past two days. Their daily tasks were to research and look for potential investments, studying the trends of the stock market and futures market, and searching for the next promising investment target.

  To be honest, Zhong Xiaofei is now a bit regretful. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have reminded Li Sanshi to buy 09764 with a large amount of money. Once Li Sanshi loses money, he will be in trouble. And once Li Sanshi is in trouble, Zhong Xiaofei's deputy manager may become the regular manager, and this power struggle might end ahead of schedule!

  Of course, this is just a hindsight, and now it's too late to regret.

  Since he was going to be a deputy manager, Zhong Xiaofei himself also had to achieve something.

  After several days of observation, Zhong Xiaofei has locked his target on US soybeans. Recently, the drought in South America is continuing to develop. If it continues for a while, the soybean yield in South America will be affected to some extent. As the world's second-largest soybean producer after the United States, if South America's production is damaged, the futures price of US soybeans will definitely rise.

  However, he is shorting rather than longing.

  Going short is a term used in stock and futures trading, referring to an operation mode that goes against the trend.

  Simply put, people buy stocks because they think a particular stock will rise, but short selling is the opposite, expecting a particular stock to fall, so they want to buy.

  Going short means that you expect a particular stock to decline in value. So you borrow the stock, remembering that it is borrowed and not actually owned, sell it at a high price, wait for the price to drop, then buy it back and return the stock to the seller, thereby earning a profit.

  Although South America has a drought, the soybean yield will also be affected. However, Zhong Xiaofei estimates that due to the weakness of the global economy, the overall demand for soybeans will decrease, so although the yield of soybeans is reduced, the price will not rise. This time, as long as we grasp it accurately, we can make a lot of money for the company, which can be considered as Zhong Xiaofei's first big win since becoming the chief dealer.

  This is Zhong Xiaofei's main job, he must do this well first, but this is not the most important thing, what is most important now is the power struggle between Yang Tianzeng and Li Sanshi!

  Compared with stock futures, this seems more treacherous.
