Chapter 90: Each with Their Own Agenda

  Xiao Zhou is not tall, she belongs to the type of girl who only grows **, but not in height. Although she's still young, her proud twin peaks are absolutely no smaller than Wu Yijie's. Plus, her skin is fair and rosy when she smiles, exuding a kind of girlish innocence all over her body. This type of youthful face with large breasts is the favorite among old men, no wonder Yang Tianzeng would use her as his secretary.

  The first time Zhong Xiaofei saw Xiao Zhou, he didn't have a deep impression of her appearance, but her huge breasts made him exclaim: "This is indeed a little cow!"

  Xiao Zhou's face turned red with embarrassment, and she said in a low voice: "Am I usually not pretty?"

  Zhong Xiaofei knew she had misspoken and quickly made amends: "Of course it's beautiful, of course it's beautiful..."

  "Hurry up and go in, the chairman is waiting for you." Little Zhou's face turned red as he smiled, seemingly having forgiven Zhong Xiaofei's slip of the tongue.

  Zhong Xiaofei smiled at her friendly smile and then walked to the door of the chairman's office, gently knocking on the door.

  "Come in!" A stifled voice called out from inside.

  Zhong Xiaofei pushed open the door and walked in, closing it behind her, then flashed a bright smile at Yang Tianzeng sitting behind his desk.

  The luxurious interior of the office remained, but Yang Tianzeng's face was extremely ugly. He stared coldly at Zhong Xiaofei, picked up a report from the table and waved it in his hand: "Explain this, what is going on?"

  It goes without saying that Zhong Xiaofei also knew that the profit statement was last night's winnings from the investment department.

  The thing last night, this morning just got to work, the report was already placed on Yang Tianzeng's desk, Li San Shi really couldn't wait.

  "Oh." Zhong Xiaofei looked apologetic and said sincerely, "I was just about to explain this to you. Last night I worked overtime to make a trade, which was originally a secret. I didn't expect Manager Li to be participating in the same trade at the same time. Although we didn't communicate with each other, it seems like he made the same judgment as me..."

  "So he's also making a profit? And it's twice as much as yours?" Yang Tianzeng slammed the report on his hand onto the table, stood up, and glared at Zhong Xiaofei with a gloomy face.

  It seems he can't accept Zhong Xiaofei's explanation.

  Zhong Xiaofei nodded slightly: "Yes."

  "Do you think... I'll believe your nonsense?" Yang Tianzeng was silent for a minute, apparently calculating how to deal with Zhong Xiaofei, or trying to judge from Zhong Xiaofei's expression whether he was telling the truth or not. His mouth twitched and his fierce eyes were filled with suspicion.

  "I know the chairman doesn't believe me, but everything I said is true. Compared to the chairman, I'd rather not let Li Sanshi gain benefits, but there's no way around it, it just happened." Zhong Xiaofei said calmly: "No matter how the chairman punishes me, I will accept it. Since what I did was wrong, I should be punished."

  Yang Tianzeng stared at him, saying nothing.

  Zhong Xiaofei just made a huge profit for the company last night, although not as much as Li Sanshi's, but also made great contributions to the company. What he deserves is the company's reward, not punishment. Of course, if Yang Tianzeng feels that Zhong Xiaofei betrayed him and posed a threat to him, he still has the right to deal with Zhong Xiaofei.

  The office was quiet, Yang Tianzeng stared tightly at Zhong Xiaofei, Zhong Xiaofei faced him calmly, with a hint of apology on his face, but no panic.

  One minute later, Yang Tianzeng's face gradually relaxed. He turned his head and walked two steps away with the help of his cane, coldly saying: "This matter is too suspicious, I cannot accept your explanation. However, I still believe in your loyalty because I believe that Xiaoyi would not fall in love with a fickle and unscrupulous person!"

  "Thank you, Chairman." Zhong Xiaofei replied lightly, but in his heart, he was actually thanking Wu Yijie, not Yang Tianzeng.

  Yang Tianzeng hummed coldly and walked to the window with his cane, gazing at the scenery outside: "This kind of thing absolutely cannot happen again, do you understand?"

  "I understand." Zhong Xiaofei nodded and took two steps forward, getting closer to Yang Tianzeng.

  Yang Tianzeng turned his head to look at him, with a strange expression on his thin old face: "Understood... the shareholders' meeting will be held on the 18th, and before that, the investment department absolutely cannot make any more moves."

  "Yes, President." Zhong Xiaofei replied respectfully.

  Yang Tianzeng nodded, fairly satisfied with Zhong Xiaofei's respectful and sincere expression. He glanced at Zhong Xiaofei and suddenly said warmly, "Is the new office comfortable?"

  "Comfortable, thank you for the chairman's concern."

  "Alright, the reports and accounts from last night are out. You and Li Sanshi have both earned a lot for the company. To commend your special contributions, I will propose to increase your remuneration by one point at this afternoon's meeting." Yang Tianzeng walked back to his office desk from the window.

  Zhong Xiaofei nodded excitedly, his heart skipped a few beats. Adding one more point to the commission meant that his brokerage fee would increase from one-thousandth to two-thousandths, and in an instant, his earnings would double from $4,000 to $8,000.

  He has recently spent a lot of money, and this sum of money is really timely for him.

  "Thank you, Chairman, I will definitely do my best to serve the Chairman."

  After saying that sentence, Zhong Xiaofei suddenly found himself becoming more and more hypocritical, more and more fake, simply a bootlicker.

  No choice, to adapt to this cruel society, one must be prepared with different faces for different people, speaking the language of humans when seeing humans and speaking the language of ghosts when seeing ghosts. For survival, for protecting his beloved woman, Zhong Xiaofei can only resort to any means necessary now.

  "You're welcome, it's what you deserve." Yang Tianzeng sat down in the chair and leaned his head against the backrest. "Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave now."

  "There's something... Just now, Li Sanshi called me and said he wants to invite me to dinner tonight. From his tone, it seems like there's something important he wants to discuss with me... Chairman, do you think I should go or not?" Zhong Xiaofei openly mentioned Li Sanshi's invitation, this matter can't be hidden from Yang Tianzeng, facing it openly is the wisest choice.

  "Haha, Li Sanshi is quite pleased with himself today, he's becoming more and more arrogant... Eh, Xiaofei, whether you go or not is up to you, I won't force you, hehe."

  Yang Tianzeng chuckled twice, seemingly not surprised by Zhong Xiaofei's words at all. His laughter made Zhong Xiaofei feel a chill in his heart. His intention was very clear, which was to let Zhong Xiaofei choose his own side.

  Zhong Xiaofei was naturally well-prepared, and he said calmly: "Chairman, I am absolutely your person. No matter what Li Sanshi says, I won't believe him. However, since he says there's something important to discuss with me, I'd like to go listen. If it's detrimental to the chairman, I'll report back to you immediately."

  Yang Tianzeng looked at Zhong Xiaofei and nodded slightly: "Good, not bad, you have a mind. Then go listen to it, I'll wait for your news."

  "Understood, Chairman. I'll leave first."

  "Go." A deep and calculating smile appeared on Yang Tianzeng's face.

  As soon as Zhong Xiaofei closed the door and left the office, he clearly saw Yang Tianzeng sitting in the back of the office, his face no longer smiling, coldly scanning him with the corner of his eye. Zhong Xiaofei lowered his head to avoid him, feeling a sense of unease in his heart, knowing that in Yang Tianzeng's eyes, he was the second most hated enemy after Li Sanshi, and once Li Sanshi fell, Yang Tianzeng would definitely take care of him.

  Zhong Xiaofei felt more and more the danger of the situation.

  "Manager Zhong." Seeing Zhong Xiaofei walk out, Secretary Zhou smiled and stood up to greet him.

  Zhong Xiaofei smiled and nodded at her in a friendly manner, his eyes involuntarily lingering on her full chest for a moment.
