After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"Chen Zheng!"

"Chen Zheng!"

Lu Yibai put down his phone and impatiently shouted Chen Zheng's name.

"Mr. Lu!"

Chen Zheng pushed open the door to Lu Yibai's office and rushed in.

"Mr. Lu, what's wrong?"

Lu Yibai braced his hands on the edge of his desk, frowning and staring anxiously at Chen Zheng: "Where's the person I asked you to find? Have you found him?"

Chen Zheng stood awkwardly in front of him, shaking his head in fear: "No...not yet."

"Why isn't it here yet?!" Lu Yibai was on the verge of a breakdown, and his face turned red after only a few words.

Chen Zheng lowered his head guiltily, and although he was very uneasy, he honestly confessed: "Just like the previous times, our people immediately chased after Fang Bo as soon as they discovered his whereabouts, but after chasing for a short while, Fang Bo vanished on the spot, and no matter how we searched, we could not find his whereabouts."

"Can't find it?" Lu Yibai's cold eyes narrowed slightly, and he slammed his fist on the table.

"Oh!"

Chen Zheng's body trembled several times with the loud noise.

"How could you not find Fang Bo, a grown man? He's appeared right under your noses time and time again, and you still couldn't catch him!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu!" Chen Zheng didn't know how to explain, so he could only apologize to Lu Yibai with his head down.

Lu Yibai was furious and had no interest in listening to his endless apologies. He grabbed the mouse in front of him and smashed it directly at Chen Zheng's head!

Chen Zheng didn't dare look at him, and naturally didn't notice a mouse flying towards his head.

With a sharp "snap," Chen Zheng felt a sharp pain in his forehead. Immediately afterward, the black mouse fell to the ground at his feet.

His temple throbbed with pain, but he dared not touch it. He could only clench his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms, to alleviate the physical pain and the surging hatred in his heart.

"Sorry, sorry, what's the use of just saying sorry? Do you think saying sorry a thousand times will find Fang Bo?"

"..." Chen Zheng hunched over, not daring to speak.

Lu Yibai glared at him fiercely, saying with exasperation, "I pay you such high salaries to get things done, not to be big shots!"

"What use are you to me if I can't even find a single person?"

"..."

Chen Zheng dared not refute.

Lu Yibai: "Fang Bo is with Pei Xingzhi. As long as you send people to follow Pei Xingzhi closely, you will definitely find out where Fang Bo is hidden!"

Chen Zheng pursed his lips and spoke cautiously: "Reporting to President Lu, we sent people to monitor Pei Xingzhi and his close confidants a long time ago."

"Did the surveillance reveal anything?" Lu Yibai asked coldly.

Chen Zheng shook his head: "...Not yet."

"..." Lu Yibai rolled her eyes at him, "Useless! All of you are useless!"

Chen Zheng: "President Lu is right."

Lu Yibai: "We can't find any more manpower! The reason Fang Bo dared to appear right under our noses is because Pei Xingzhi gave him an absolute sense of security!"

"He has provoked me time and time again. Even if I die, I will drag him out and send him to hell!"

"Yes!" Chen Zheng obediently replied, "I will immediately issue a notice ordering them to send more people. We will definitely bring Fang Bo to President Lu's attention!"

“…Hmm.” Lu Yibai was slightly satisfied, and his tone became much gentler.

“Although Pei Xingzhi has agreed to my request, he is an extremely cunning man. The situation is constantly changing until we get the item. We absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom. We must find a way to locate Fang Bo’s hiding place while Pei Xingzhi is considering his options.”

"Once Fang Bo is dead, I can swindle those things from Pei Xingzhi and then I will never be controlled by anyone again."

Chen Zheng: "President Lu is right!"

Lu Yibai glanced at him, his face dark, and waved his hand at him: "Alright, you can go now."

Having vented his anger and barely suppressed his frustration, Chen Zheng's presence here was no longer of much use.

"Complete each and every task I assign you thoroughly, without making any more mistakes! Understand?"

Chen Zheng kept his head down and said, "I understand, please rest assured, President Lu."

"Get out." Lu Yibai slumped weakly into a chair and closed his eyes wearily.

"Yes." Chen Zheng bowed and stepped back, leaving Lu Yibai's office quietly and closing the door behind him.

To the right of the office was a spacious and bright room with three workstations, which served as the shared office for the three secretaries.

But since Zhao Siming left, only Chen Zheng and Li Su have been left in this office.

Li Su had gone out on business and hadn't returned yet; only Chen Zheng was sitting inside.

He sat blankly in front of the computer, staring at his numb reflection on the screen. Lu Yibai had used all his strength to hit him, and his right temple was visibly red and swollen.

He looked at his wounds indifferently, feeling no sympathy for himself, only sorrow and embarrassment.

He had followed Lu Yibai for nearly seven years, doing countless despicable things for him, but in the end, this was the fate he received. He didn't know whether he was pitiful or deserved it.

"Om-"

"Om-"

The phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Chen Zheng looked up and saw that it was Ye Ci calling.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the phone and answered the call.

"Hey, Brother Ye, I was just about to call you."

"what happened?"

Ye Ci's voice was very soft, a stark contrast to Lu Yibai's hoarse shouting. Chen Zheng's restless heart immediately calmed down.

"Phew..." He sighed wearily and told Ye Ci everything that had happened in the office.

The surveillance cameras in this office broke down three days ago, and because Lu Yibai had so many troubles, they didn't have time to replace them. That's why Chen Zheng dared to openly call Ye Ci.

After listening to his report, Ye Ci exclaimed "Holy crap!" in surprise.

"Lu Yibai is really ruthless; he actually dared to lay such a heavy hand on his own confidant."

"Hmph..." Chen Zheng laughed sarcastically, "This isn't the first time President Lu has done this. Li Su, Zhao Siming, and I have suffered his beatings and scoldings countless times over the years. Rather than calling us his secretaries, we'd be more like his three dogs."

"When he's in a good mood, he'll patiently tease us; when he's in a bad mood, he'll attack us at any time. It's all commonplace."

As he spoke, Chen Zheng slightly raised his eyes and looked at Li Su, who had suddenly appeared, in the reflection of the computer screen.
