Can have bad intentions

Chapter 17 Yuan Ge's Request

Cao Ze, who was eating, raised his head and said with a smile: "Okay!"

Gu Jia asked expectantly, "I want to discuss something with you."

"Go on." Cao Ze smiled gently and motioned for her to continue.

"I really have no place to move the things in the house downstairs."

"If you don't have other plans, could you rent it to me?"

Gu Jia is now so poor that she can't even afford to rent a decent house, so she mustered up the courage to discuss this matter with Cao Ze.

"Of course, the rent will be deducted directly from your salary." Cao Ze replied with a smile and continued to enjoy his meal.

Hearing Cao Ze's agreement, Gu Jia's face suddenly showed joy: "Cao Ze, thank you!"

Then, she remembered another thing and asked Cao Ze: "By the way, I heard that you helped Xiaoqin book a room in the hotel?"

After saying this, Gu Jia looked at him curiously.

"Don't misunderstand me. Xiaoqin and I don't have any such relationship." Cao Ze quickly explained, "I just wanted to thank her for helping me send the fairy home last time."

Cao Ze felt that there was no need to let others misunderstand what happened between him and Zhong Xiaoqin.

"I know this, she told me before. But it's not a long-term solution for Xiaoqin to stay in the hotel all the time, and she has been keeping a record of the bills, and plans to pay you back when she gets paid."

Gu Jia couldn't help laughing when she mentioned her good sister Zhong Xiaoqin's plan.

Cao Ze didn't expect Zhong Xiaoqin to be so principled.

"Cao Ze, I have an idea." Gu Jia looked at Cao Ze in a tone of seeking advice, "Can Xiaoqin live with me? If you don't mind?"

"I've rented the house to you. Would you mind such a small matter?" Cao Ze replied with a nonchalant smile.

"Thank you, you are really a good boss!" Gu Jia smiled charmingly, and Cao Ze felt that there was something else behind her words.

So, it was decided that Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia would live together.

After dinner, Gu Jia suggested that they go see the master bedroom. Cao Ze naturally couldn't refuse, so he took her to visit.

After entering the master bedroom, Gu Jia was reluctant to leave...

In the next few days, Cao Ze was either handling affairs at Trillion Venture Capital or busy at Oriental Beauty.

On the one hand, he needed to ensure that the investment project was feasible; on the other hand, it was to build the production line of Oriental Beauty Cosmetics.

At the same time, at Shumei Cosmetics Company, Du Bingwen offended the channel dealers, which led to the company's subsequent development being hindered at every turn. He was in an extremely embarrassing situation and had to humbly seek help from Yuan Ge.

After all, the three key channel dealers only recognized Sister Mei and Yuan Ge, and they were unwilling to pay any attention to what Du Bingwen said.

"Yuan Ge, I really have no other choice now." Du Bingwen looked at his face and said helplessly, "If these three major channel partners terminate the contract, our losses..."

Yuan Ge listened to Du Bingwen's words. Although she didn't want to interfere in the matter, considering that it concerned the company's performance, as the vice president, she could not turn a blind eye.

So Yuan Ge and Du Bingwen organized a dinner party, invited the three channel partners to attend, and solemnly promised at the table to ensure that they would not suffer any losses.

It was precisely because Yuan Ge had a very strong reputation among the channel dealers that they agreed and raised their glasses to toast Yuan Ge.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone was drunk and the channel partners went back to the hotel to rest.

Du Bingwen wanted to help Yuan Ge, who was staggering from drinking, but Yuan Ge rudely drove him away.

There were several waiters present, which made Du Bingwen quite embarrassed. However, he was used to being shameless and soon regained his normal state of mind.

"Yuan Ge, you're already so drunk, how are you going to get home?" Du Bingwen still didn't give up, and said, "Why don't you let me take you home?"

Du Bingwen, who had been pursuing Yuan Ge since college but had never been able to succeed, was now trying to persuade her earnestly.

"Send me home?" Yuan Ge sneered upon hearing this, "You are worthy? You are such an arrogant guy who gets into trouble and needs others to help you clean up the mess?"

Du Bingwen knew what Yuan Ge was referring to, the failure to enter the high-end market and the offense against channel dealers.

"Yuan Ge, it's time to get off work, let's not talk about business. Look, we are alumni after all, so let me take you home?" Even though Yuan Ge ridiculed him, Du Bingwen still said with a smile.

"No need!" Yuan Ge refused decisively, "The person who is here to pick me up is here!"

At this time, Yuan Ge, who had just walked to the door of the restaurant, saw Gu Qiao walking towards him and immediately responded with a smile.

"Gege, let's go!" Gu Qiao also knew Du Bingwen, but since her best friend hated him so much, she didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Not long after, Gu Qiao drove Yuan Ge back home safely.

The next day, at Shumei Cosmetics Company.

Du Bingwen walked into Yuan Ge's office, looked at her, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Yuan Ge, last night..."

Before he could finish, Yuan Ge interrupted him: "The conversation with the channel dealers last night went smoothly, and they all went back. Director Du, do you have anything else to say?"

Yuan Ge responded without even raising his head as he sorted out the documents on his desk.

Du Bingwen sighed, realizing that he had no chance to say anything more, and left in frustration. As for Du Bingwen's pursuit of Yuan Ge, it seemed that there would be no progress in the short term.

The news gradually spread in the company.

for this matter.

Yuan Ge felt very upset.

But we see each other every day.

So, she figured out a solution.

That is to find a man to pretend to be her boyfriend so that Du Bingwen will completely give up the idea.

however!

Who should I look for?

Yuan Ge doesn’t have many male friends, and there are almost no ones she likes.

Suddenly, Yuan Ge thought of someone - Cao Ze.

Her blind date popped into her mind.

If Cao Ze is willing to play her boyfriend,

Not only can it make Du Bingwen give up, but it can also give Sister Mei an explanation.

After all, it was Sister Mei who arranged for her and Cao Ze to go on a blind date in the first place.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ge became a little conflicted again.

She was worried that Cao Ze might not agree to this proposal.

In this way, Yuan Ge spent a whole day in hesitation and wandering, not daring to tell Cao Ze about this easily.

Night comes.

Cao Ze returned to Grand Hyatt Residences and went straight to Room 2101 on the top floor.

Mrs. Wang, who had been waiting there for a long time, welcomed him in with a smile on her face.

"Aunt Meijing, this is the gift I brought you."

Cao Ze handed over a carefully packaged gift box of skin care products.

Mrs. Wang's eyes widened instantly, with a hint of surprise in them.

Because this time the skin care products finally have exquisite packaging and no longer look like three-no products.

"Xiao Ze, you are so considerate!"

"I tell you, the ladies in the circle have been urging me on."

“They can’t wait to try our Oriental Beauty skincare products.”

"We are so in tune with each other. You just happened to bring it to me."

Mrs. Wang spoke to herself, her words full of emotion.

Cao Ze smiled but did not refute.

"Look, when Auntie is happy, she is busy chatting with you."

"Dinner is ready, come and have a taste. These are all fresh ingredients flown in from abroad. I have specially invited a Michelin chef to cook..."

Mrs. Wang picked up some food for Cao Zelian as she spoke, and her service was attentive and enthusiastic.

After dinner, the two chatted for a while, then Cao Ze got up and said goodbye and left.

Mrs. Wang then shared the new skin care products brought by Cao Ze in the WeChat group, which immediately attracted enthusiastic pursuit from many other wives.

After returning to Room 1301 of his home, Cao Ze first played with the cat for a while.

"Cao Ze, eat some fruit."

Ruan Zhenzhen brought a fruit plate, snuggled in his arms, and picked up a small piece of mango with a toothpick and fed it to him.

"Sister Zhenzhen, why do you treat me like a child?"

Cao Ze took the diced mango with a wry smile and put it in his mouth.

"What's the matter? It's my duty to take care of you."

Ruan Zhenzhen replied nonchalantly.

Later, after Cao Ze finished eating the fruit, Ruan Zhenzhen went to do housework.

At this time, Cao Ze's WeChat kept beeping. He opened it and saw that it was a message from the group chat "Beautiful Girl and Tentacle Monster".

Cao Ze replied casually with a few words, but unexpectedly, Lin Miaomiao started to contact him individually.

"Cao Ze, do you still have your acne-removing products in stock?"

"I have several friends and classmates who really want to buy it."

"Please, I've already promised them!"

Seeing the message sent by Lin Miaomiao, Cao Ze couldn't help but smile.

"Our products have already started mass production and will be officially available for sale in a few days."

“If you want to buy in advance, you can follow the official account of Dongfangmeimei Cosmetics.”

After sending the message, Cao Ze put his phone aside and continued to play with the cat.

The next morning, after having breakfast at home, Cao Ze kissed Ruan Zhenzhen goodbye.

Under Ruan Zhenzhen's smiling gaze, he picked up the key and went out to the company.

As he walked into the door of Trillion Venture Capital Company, employees greeted him one after another.

Cao Ze nodded in greeting and then entered the president's office.

Not long after, he received a call from the front desk.

He said that staff from the Wuyou Building Property Management Company were coming to see him.

Cao Ze thought about it for a moment and guessed that it was about property fees.

So I asked the front desk to let me go.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Cao Ze, who was reading the document, responded.

"Hello, Mr. Cao, I'm Zhong Xiaoqin from the property management department."

Hearing the familiar voice, Cao Ze looked up and saw Zhong Xiaoqin standing in front of him with a sweet smile.

But the first words she said made him feel helpless.

"This is our first day meeting?"

Cao Ze burst out laughing.

"Haha, this is also what my job requires."

Zhong Xiaoqin explained with a smile and looked around the office environment.

The office space here is spacious and bright, about 80 square meters, and is equipped with a dedicated lounge, fitness area and tea room. It looks both grand and luxurious, which makes Zhong Xiaoqin amazed.

"Your office is almost as big as an average family home."

Sitting on the sofa, Zhong Xiaoqin said with a smile.

"Actually, the designer designed it. I myself didn't expect it to be so big."

Cao Ze made a cup of coffee for Zhong Xiaoqin and sat down with a smile.

If Jiang Nansun were here, she would definitely say that it was not her who was to blame for this design style, and that it was Cao Ze himself who signed the final draft.

"Thank you."

"By the way, I'm here to deliver the property fee list."

"Here are the detailed costs for the 18th floor of Building B."

Zhong Xiaoqin put down the documents and picked up the coffee beside her.

When she learned that Cao Ze was the owner of Building B of Wuyou Building, she was surprised beyond words.

You have to know that this building is for commercial use and its value is extremely huge, the amount is so large that she can't even imagine it.

"The property fee is very reasonable and I will arrange the financial transfer to pay it as soon as possible."

Cao Ze flipped through the documents and responded with a smile.

"Thank you very much."

Zhong Xiaoqin, who had successfully completed her work task, answered happily.

"By the way, I'll transfer the rent to you."

Zhong Xiaoqin, who had already received her salary, was unwilling to owe Cao Ze money.

So she took out her mobile phone from her pocket and transferred money to Cao Ze to pay for all the expenses of her previous hotel stay. As for the rent for living in Gu Jia's house, she planned to pay it directly to Gu Jia herself.

"OK, thanks!"

After receiving the transfer, Cao Ze did not refuse. However, Zhong Xiaoqin's behavior made him look at her differently. Therefore, when Zhong Xiaoqin left, Cao Ze specially gave her a set of skin care products and asked her to try the effect.

This surprised Zhong Xiaoqin, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed. Her smile became even brighter and more brilliant.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Cao. This is the first time I have received a gift from a landlord!"

"If you need me for anything in the future, please feel free to ask!"

After saying that, Zhong Xiaoqin left with a smile on her face.

After seeing Zhong Xiaoqin off, Cao Ze wandered around the company and then came to the human resources department. Since many of the company's current businesses require him to personally inquire about them, he decided to recruit a special assistant to the president to assist him, responsible for conveying instructions, assisting with internal management work and other matters.

After understanding Cao Ze's needs, the Human Resources Department began to post recruitment information online. Soon, it attracted many applicants to come for interviews. After rounds of screening, three candidates were left to enter the final competition. Cao Ze would decide who would be the special assistant to the president.

When Cao Ze appeared in front of the three candidates, everyone had different expressions, especially seeing how young he was, they couldn't help but be surprised. Cao Ze looked at the three candidates one by one and asked a few simple questions, but he seemed not very satisfied with their performance.

He was looking for an assistant to the president who could communicate with him and properly handle interpersonal relationships, and who also had a certain ability to coordinate. Only such a person could work well with him and solve his worries.

However, when the head of the HR department saw that Cao Ze was dissatisfied with everyone, he immediately brought another group of seemingly good candidates, which surprised Cao Ze.

"I'm looking for a secretary who can get things done, not a pretty vase!"

After Cao Ze shouted angrily in the HR Department, everyone in the HR Department was confused and looked at each other, not understanding the real meaning of Cao Ze's words.

On the other hand, Yuan Ge, who had been struggling all day yesterday, was still hesitant today. But thinking of Du Bingwen's shameless appearance, Yuan Ge finally plucked up the courage to call Cao Ze: "Cao Ze, can you come out for dinner? Nothing else, I just want to chat with you."

After the call, Yuan Ge smiled. After all, she had taken the first step. Then she would wait for dinner and ask Cao Ze for help.

At 5pm, Yuan Ge finished her work and left work on time. Seeing her smiling and leaving on time, Du Bingwen frowned and followed her quietly.

Arriving at a private restaurant in Shanghai, Yuan Ge and Cao Ze found a seat after meeting each other. "I'm treating you today, please don't be polite to me!" After the waiter handed over the menu, Yuan Ge immediately handed it to Cao Ze. "Then I'll obey your command!" Cao Ze smiled and began to select the restaurant's signature dishes.

At this time, Du Bingwen deliberately brought Smith to the restaurant, and even walked to Yuan Ge's table in a dignified manner. "Yuan Ge, is it convenient for us to share a table?" Considering that Smith was present, Yuan Ge did not directly reject Du Bingwen's proposal, but she was indeed speechless about his doing so. "Of course, please sit down, Mr. Smith." Yuan Ge glanced at Cao Ze, who shrugged to show that he didn't care, so Yuan Ge said this to Smith.

Later, Smith asked about Cao Ze's identity, and Yuan Ge told him: "He is Cao Ze, the boss of Trillion Venture Capital." When Yuan Ge introduced Cao Ze to Smith, Du Bingwen was stunned. He couldn't believe that the young man in front of him was the boss of Trillion Venture Capital, which acquired the Davis brand. After the meal, Smith praised Cao Ze highly, and the two had a good chat, as if they had completely ignored Du Bingwen's existence. This made Du Bingwen very dissatisfied when he learned of Cao Ze's true identity. Trillion Venture Capital was the company that acquired his original target, the Davis brand. During this period of time, Du Bingwen was treated as a joke in the company. Seeing Yuan Ge and Cao Ze's intimacy made him even more indignant.

However, due to the presence of the client, Du Bingwen suppressed his displeasure. "Mr. Cao, Ms. Yuan," Smith hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Can I ask you two for a small favor?"

"It's like this, I have a friend in the country, her name is Wang Fang..."

The story is not over yet. Chapter 78 will tell the story of Yang Tao's appearance and Cao Ze's affectionate confession.
