His boss hasn't even expressed his opinion yet, but Zhang Hao has already jumped over the wall. The assistant shook his head as he watched. With such ability, it's no wonder that Zhang Hao himself is so anxious.

He attached too much importance to power, and all these things made him more nervous.

The assistant was very understanding and handed him some documents that Pei Shi had asked him to sort out before leaving.

Pei Shi placed the document on the table and tapped it twice: "There are some things I don't want to say too much, you can read these contents yourself and think about them after reading them. Do I still have the obligation to help you?"

Although Zhang Hao was anxious, he was still somewhat rational. He walked over suspiciously and picked up the document to have a look.

Next, his face turned pale and he looked panicked. Pei Shi glanced at him and left with his assistant.

In the elevator, the assistant asked Pei Shi, "Regarding Mr. Zhang's false accounting, our financial department has calculated that he has underestimated your profits by at least 30% in the past few years. Don't you plan to make him pay for it?"

"That's it." Pei Shi's voice was slightly tired.

The assistant thought that the boss was really open-minded. A 30% profit was an astronomical figure that ordinary people could not even imagine.

However, with Pei Shi's current wealth, he probably wouldn't be interested in this.

Not recovering the money, but also not having too much cooperation, this should be the best way to save the face of both parties.

It depends on whether Zhang Hao can figure this out.

After getting in the car, the assistant remembered that Zhang Ruohe went to the company to find Pei Shi in the afternoon, but Pei Shi was out at the time.

"Ms. Zhang went to the company to look for you in the afternoon and said she wanted to have dinner with you. Later, you didn't come back, so she got a little angry and left."

After the assistant finished speaking, he added, "Before she left, she heard several people in the secretariat discussing Miss Yun's matter."

"What's the matter?" Pei Shi rarely had a hint of doubt on his face.

"Uh." The assistant was a little speechless. It seemed that his boss was a straight man. Couldn't he see that Zhang Ruohe was interested in him?

"It's about you and Miss Yun growing up together. She was very unhappy to hear this."

"Don't let her up there casually in the future." Pei Shi said coldly.

The assistant understood that his boss had no interest in Zhang Ruohe, and for the sake of Qingmei, he even did not allow Zhang Ruohe to enter and leave the president's office at will.

"Also, Miss Zhang later went to Miss Yun's friend's place."

"Which friend?" Pei Shi knew that Yun Zhi didn't have many friends before, but he didn't know whether she had any friends after going to college.

"It's the one who runs the flower shop. After Miss Zhang left in the afternoon, she checked Miss Yun's recent whereabouts, so I kept a closer eye on her."

Thinking that it was Zhou Niantang, Pei Shi's face turned slightly cold, and he felt that he needed to remind Yun Zhi to have less contact with Zhou Niantang.

His relationship with Zhang Hao is just average now, so as his sister, Zhang Ruohe would inevitably have some thoughts.

For example, join forces with the Zhou family to suppress him?

The assistant looked at the boss's expression in the back seat through the rearview mirror and thought that the boss was thinking about the safety of his little childhood sweetheart and was afraid that she would be bullied by Miss Zhang.

He never thought that in his boss's eyes, there was only business war and no love. . . .

The news of Zhou's investment in Cheng Yu was made with great fanfare, and Zhou Niantang found out about it the next day.

She guessed correctly, Zhou Yunqi's movements were indeed fast.

She was eating breakfast and watching the news, and finally put her phone upside down on the table and sighed.

Aunt Zhang, who was putting dumplings on the table, saw that she looked bitter and resentful early in the morning and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look a little listless today?"

"It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night." Zhou Niantang laughed.

"Don't be too busy these days. Count the days and your period will be here soon. You should pay more attention to rest." Aunt Zhang advised her.

Zhou Niantang nodded in agreement. It might be because she had been weak since childhood. When her menstrual period came, she felt listless, had no energy, and even had pain. That was why Aunt Zhang always paid great attention to her care in this aspect.

After breakfast, Zhou Niantang picked up his bag and went to open the store.

In the afternoon, she received a call from Ji Shen, asking her to pack up and accompany him to a dinner party tonight.

Zhou Niantang refused, saying that one really shouldn’t talk about one’s period. Aunt Zhang had just been talking about it in the morning, and in the afternoon she felt something was not right with the person, and guessed that it might be a relative coming to visit.

Ji Shen was quite nervous on the other end: "Please come with me, I'll give you the latest bag if you come with me."

Although she didn't understand why she had to go, Zhou Niantang became interested when she heard about the limited edition bags and asked directly: "Can I get a discount? If so, transfer the money. I'll go and get dressed now."

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll pick you up at your house on my way home this afternoon." Ji Shen agreed readily.

Not long after, Ji Shen really transferred the money. Zhou Niantang accepted it without hesitation and then withdrew the money to his own card.

She went back home, picked out clothes, and asked Luoluo to help her put on makeup.

By the time everything was done, it was almost dark.

Ji Shen didn't let the driver drive, he took Zhou Niantang to the banquet himself.

When he arrived at the destination, Zhou Niantang found out that the banquet was hosted by Zhou's company to celebrate the cooperation with Chengtian Company.

Zhou Niantang glanced at Ji Shen who was unbuckling his seat belt and said, "I was wondering why you didn't look for someone else but me. Is it because of my sister?"

Ji Shen has become more and more shameless in recent years, and he doesn't try to hide it. "I see it but I don't say it out loud."

Zhou Niantang snorted twice, not understanding why Ji Shen had only grown older but not braver over the years.

But she did take the money, and when getting off the car, she took Ji Shen's arm and smiled gently.

The banquet hadn't officially started yet and they arrived a little early. Ji Shen was talking to someone else. Zhou Niantang knew that the protagonist of the banquet was Zhou Yunqi. Thinking that they hadn't seen each other for a few days, he sent a message to Zhou Yunqi's assistant to ask where they were.

After getting a reply, she lifted her skirt and went up the spiral staircase of the banquet hall.

Following the address given by the assistant, Zhou Niantang walked to the third room on the left. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the room was opened from the inside.

"Secretary Li, is my sister in there?"

Li Jing looked embarrassed: "Inside, but let's go in later, Mr. Zhou has something to discuss."

"Okay." Zhou Niantang saw that Li Jing looked a little strange, and asked her curiously, "Who is inside?"

Li Jing knew about the Zhou family. She thought about how to address the person inside. Madam was definitely not appropriate. Finally, she whispered, "It's Ms. Bai."

"Is that so?" Zhou Niantang completely understood Li Jing. He guessed that Bai Zhi was talking about some sensitive topic in there, which might even be related to him.

"Then I'll find a place to sit first, and I'll come see my sister when she's done with her work." Zhou Niantang was very considerate and did not make things difficult for Li Jing.

Zhou Niantang went downstairs, but couldn't find Ji Shen, and didn't know where he had gone.

For someone like her who was not involved in the family business, the banquet was actually very boring.

However, in order to get some orders for the flower shop, she did get to know a few rich ladies and young ladies.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with a few people she knew, Zhou Niantang suddenly felt a little pain in her lower abdomen. She smiled and said excuse me, then went to find a quiet place in the yard to sit down and relax.

Before she could even sit down, she heard someone saying something, and the voice sounded a little familiar.

"Lead her to the swimming pool. Don't worry about anything else. Just bring her here."

Although Zhou Niantang didn't hang out in the circle of wealthy families, he would occasionally listen to gossip from Ji Shen and the others. He knew about some of the dramas where the wife and the mistress framed each other, which was both dramatic and exciting.

She guessed that she must have encountered someone who was trying to do something bad at the party.
