Can have bad intentions

Chapter 16 Job-hopping

At noon, I met the boy who went on a blind date with me last time.

We chatted for a while, and he actually suggested that I switch to work in their company.

At this time, I saw Yuan Ge fiddling with the dishes and chopsticks to prepare for dinner, so I helped her and told her about the situation.

"Blind date?" Yuan Ge asked in surprise, "When did you go on a blind date?"

Gu Qiao, with a face full of curiosity, couldn't wait to ask for details.

I answered, "Sister Mei introduced him to me through Mrs. Wang. That person is Mrs. Wang's son."

I don't want to go into more detail, so I'll just give a brief explanation.

Gu Qiao then asked, "Is your blind date's company also in the beauty industry?"

I nodded, and suddenly remembered something - Cao Ze is actually Gu Qiao's boss, so I don't think it's appropriate to continue on this topic, so as not to give people the impression that I'm showing off.

In order not to embarrass Gu Qiao, I immediately changed the subject: "By the way, how do you feel about your first day at work today?"

I asked her out of curiosity and concern, and also wanted to understand the atmosphere of Cao Ze's company.

Gu Qiao answered happily: "It feels good. The company has just moved upstairs, and there is a new atmosphere of reconstruction..."

She enthusiastically shared with me various interesting things that happened at work today.

Meanwhile, the story on the other side is:

Although it was an odd-numbered day, Ruan Zhenzhen still called Wang Manni. Afterwards, she took Cao Ze to a self-service hot pot restaurant.

Ruan Zhenzhen said as she selected the dishes: "Whenever I was feeling down or particularly happy, I would always come to this hotpot restaurant. Isn't it often said on the Internet? There is nothing that can't be solved by a hotpot meal. If there is, then have two meals!"

After hearing this, Cao Ze deliberately asked her jokingly: "So, are you here this time because you are in a good mood or a bad mood?"

Ruan Zhenzhen gave him a charming look and responded with a smile.

After choosing the ingredients, the two sat in front of the steaming hot pot. Ruan Zhenzhen was already familiar with Cao Ze's taste, and considerately put them into the pot for him to cook one by one: tripe, duck intestines, yellow throat, fat beef rolls, mutton rolls...

After a while, Ruan Zhenzhen raised the wine glass in her hand and said gratefully: "Cao Ze, thank you so much for what happened today!"

Cao Ze smiled and clinked glasses with her: "Sister Zhenzhen, if I had known you would be so polite, I shouldn't have helped you today."

Hearing that he was joking, Ruan Zhenzhen didn't say anything more. "The tripe will be ready to eat in a few seconds. Let me help you pick it up." After saying that, Ruan Zhenzhen carefully picked up the tripe for Cao Ze, and then picked up a few slices of mutton and put them in his bowl. This made Cao Ze feel a little embarrassed.

In the self-service hot pot restaurant, the tables in the hall were closely connected. People from the nearby tables cast envious glances at them. The men envied Ruan Zhenzhen's coolness and her gentleness and thoughtfulness; the women were jealous of Cao Ze's handsome appearance and sunny smile, imagining that if they had such a boyfriend, they would learn more knowledge and try their best to get him.

Noticing the gazes from all around, Cao Ze smiled and said, "Sister Zhenzhen, I can do it myself. You're doting on me so much, I'm afraid you're going to turn me into a giant baby."

After a sweet hotpot night with Ruan Zhenzhen, Cao Ze failed to return to Grand Hyatt that night because Ruan Zhenzhen told him that she belonged to him tonight. Then, Ruan Zhenzhen took the initiative and took Cao Ze to a very interesting hotel for the night.

The next morning, when Cao Ze woke up, Ruan Zhenzhen was still sleeping. He did not wake her up, but quietly washed up and left.

On the other side, Yuan Ge felt the atmosphere of the company was strange as soon as she stepped into the company's door. After the secretary investigated and reported, she learned that the news that Shumei Cosmetics planned to develop a high-end sub-brand had been leaked for some reason. Channel dealers from all over the country rushed to Du Bingwen after hearing the news, wanting to ask for an explanation.

Seeing this, Yuan Ge shook his head helplessly. This guy is really unreliable. This time he has caused Shumei great harm.

Du Bingwen promised that he would take care of the matter and asked Yuan Ge to temporarily replace him to negotiate with Mr. Smith, the person in charge of the Lisa brand, on cooperation matters. Since Smith must have been waiting, Yuan Ge did not hesitate and immediately went to negotiate on behalf of Du Bingwen.

However, the distributors from all over the country who arrived at the company one after another did not trust Du Bingwen and insisted on talking to Mei Jie or Yuan Ge. At this moment, both of them were not in the company. Du Bingwen delayed the time and asked the distributors to return to the hotel to wait for news.

Yuan Ge's cooperation negotiations with Smith went smoothly. When Mei Jie hurried back to the company and learned about the channel dealer incident, she asked Du Bingwen and Yuan Ge for their opinions.

"Sister Mei, I think we should replace this group of channel dealers." Du Bingwen still insisted on his point of view.

In this regard, Yuan Ge raised his objection without hesitation: "Sister Mei, I disagree. These distributors have been following us since the early days of our Shumei Cosmetics Company. If we replace them now, it will undoubtedly be disheartening!"

Yuan Ge expressed her position in a firm tone. Mei fell into deep thought, and finally decided to keep the existing distributors out of consideration for the friendship with her old friends in the company.

At this moment, in the CEO's office on the sixth floor of Building B of Wuyou Building, Cao Ze was leaning on the boss chair, concentrating on processing the documents at hand. At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Cao Ze responded without even raising his head.

The voice sounded calmly.

The office door was slowly pushed open.

Jiang Xiaoguo, dressed in a professional suit, strode in.

"Boss, the problem with the production line has been solved."

"We signed a ten-year contract to lease the factory."

"In addition, this is the relevant cost details..."

No. 413 Jiang Xiaoguo reported in an orderly manner.

Looking at her working state, Cao Zelian couldn't help but give her a look of approval.

"You've done a great job. We can finally start mass production of our new beauty products."

"By the way, from now on, you can let Gu Qiao handle all matters concerning Dongfang Meimei Makeup."

"Your focus should still be on the trillion-dollar venture capital."

Cao Ze smiled and assigned new tasks to Jiang Xiaoguo.

"Okay, boss, I understand."

Jiang Xiaoguo always obeys Cao Ze's instructions.

"So is there anything else that needs to be taken care of?"

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo did not leave immediately, Cao Ze asked curiously.

"Well, that's it, boss."

Jiang Xiaoguo's heart couldn't help but beat faster when she came back to her senses. Just now, she saw Cao Ze's sunny smile and was fascinated for a moment.

"Then you can go ahead and do your work. Feel free to come to me if you have any questions."

Cao Ze answered calmly, without any fluctuation in his tone.

"Okay, boss."

Jiang Xiaoguo's heartbeat quickened as she turned around and left the president's office. She stroked her cheek with her hand and could still feel a hint of heat.

At the same time, somewhere else, Ruan Zhenzhen, who had just woken up from the hotel, called her good friend Su Wen.

After a while, the two of them appeared together at Ruan Zhenzhen's former residence.

My ex-husband's parents had been living here for less than two days when they were visited by a debt collection company.

Only then did they realize that the 40 million debt that Ruan Zhenzhen mentioned was actually true.

That night, they hurriedly moved away.

They can accept inheritance, but they are unwilling to bear huge debts.

Ruan Zhenzhen returned to this home and looked at the empty big house. This place used to be her warm haven, but now it was filled with devastated lies.

Su Wen looked at her lost expression and patted her shoulder gently to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I'm still with you."

"No matter what happens, I will stand firmly behind you and support you."

Su Wen said this and hugged Ruan Zhenzhen tightly.

The two girlfriends hugged for a while, and Ruan Zhenzhen gradually calmed down and said seriously:

“I’m planning to sell this house.”

"I want to say goodbye to my past life completely."

Ruan Zhenzhen took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"Actually, this is not bad. What's the point of keeping the house now that the person is gone?"

"I support your decision. You are free now."

Seeing her good friend standing so firmly by her side, Ruan Zhenzhen felt a relieved smile in her heart.

The house sold very quickly and soon a buyer came to inquire about the price.

Ruan Zhenzhen, who was eager to sell, did not ask for an exorbitant price, but quickly completed the transaction according to the market price.

What she is faced with now is how to deal with the furniture and appliances in the house.

After some thought, Ruan Zhenzhen decided to give these directly to the buyers.

Soon after, Su Wen began to help Ruan Zhenzhen pack up her things.

"Thank you so much for always being by my side."

While packing up, Ruan Zhenzhen looked up and expressed her gratitude to Su Wen.

"There's no need for us to be polite to each other. We've been friends for so many years. If you say that again, I'll be angry."

Su Wen was joking on purpose, but it made Ruan Zhenzhen feel warm in her heart.

The two of them were quick and efficient and quickly packed up the important items.

At this moment, Ruan Zhenzhen accidentally knocked a porcelain doll storage jar on the cabinet to the ground with a "bang", which scared her.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm safe."

Su Wen hurried to comfort her.

However, Ruan Zhenzhen's attention was attracted by the fragments of the porcelain doll, and she stared at the fragments on the ground with a dull look in her eyes.

Su Wen, who sensed something was wrong, followed her gaze and found a small USB flash drive hidden among a pile of debris.

Su Wen squatted down, picked up the USB drive, and looked at it carefully with a puzzled look on her face.

After a while, Su Wen casually asked, "Could this be the list everyone is looking for?"

Ruan Zhenzhen remained silent and nodded silently, acquiescing to her guess. Because she clearly remembered that there was nothing in this storage jar before, but now that there is something, it is very likely that it was left after Xu Youning's death.

"I never thought that this thing was hidden in my home."

Ruan Zhenzhen sighed, feeling mixed emotions.

It is really unbelievable to think that such a highly sought-after thing was discovered by them unexpectedly.

And because of this list, her home was illegally broken into. Thinking about this made her feel sad.

"Zhenzhen, how are you going to deal with this?"

"This list is being fought over by so many people, I guess..."

Su Wen lowered her voice, wanting to hear Ruan Zhenzhen's thoughts.

"Give it to the police officer!"

"After all, this is the evidence that Xu Youning kept during his lifetime."

"What's more, those accounts involved in insider trading must be punished by law!"

Ruan Zhenzhen spoke calmly, but the turmoil in her heart was no less intense.

"Okay, everything is up to you!"
