The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want you to help me send some 'good stuff' to Shen Yanran. Once it's done, I'll transfer the money to you via WeChat immediately." Ye Shasha knew that Zhang Ye wouldn't refuse the temptation of money, and a strange light shone in her eyes as she spoke.

Shen Yanran, the company's new chief designer?

Do the two of them know each other?

Zhang Ye knew Ye Shasha too well; she was a woman who would change her mind depending on the situation. She wouldn't give away anything nice for no reason unless she had ulterior motives. "What do you want me to give you?"

"You'll find out in a bit. Try to find an excuse to come out later, and I'll get something for you at the bathroom door." Ye Shasha didn't want to cause any trouble, so she quickly hung up the phone after saying that.

Zhang Ye held his phone, then suddenly hesitated. He had a feeling that Ye Shasha harbored some kind of hatred towards Shen Yanran. Could she be planning to poison her?

"Xiao Ye, what are you standing here for?" Shen Yanran patted Zhang Ye's shoulder gently, but noticed that her expression was a little off. "Are you alright? Are you sick?"

Zhang Ye didn't expect Shen Yanran to come looking for her at this time. Perhaps feeling guilty, she was so startled that she took two steps back. "No, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Designer Shen. Is there something you need?"

Seeing her reaction, Shen Yanran thought she had scared her, so she quickly apologized and said, "Actually, I saw that everyone had already started eating, but you hadn't come in yet, so I came out to find you. I didn't expect to scare you. I'm really sorry."

"It's alright, Designer Shen. It's my fault for being timid. Let's go." Zhang Ye was afraid that if she continued talking, she would reveal some flaws, so she quickly left after saying that.

Shen Yanran didn't think much of it and followed her back to the private room. Coincidentally, the two of them sat in the same seats.

Zhang Ye sat down stiffly next to Shen Yanran, but dared not look her in the eye.

But Shen Yanran thought Zhang Ye was introverted and too shy to talk to her, a colleague she had just met, so she put a braised prawn in her bowl, thinking that people should be more relaxed when they are eating.

Zhang Ye looked at the plump, colorful shrimp in the bowl, unsure whether she should eat them, especially since she was also conflicted about whether she should go see Ye Shasha.

Taking advantage of everyone's good mood, Zhao Qingying stood up from her chair, raised her wine glass, and said happily to everyone, "Come on, everyone, raise your glasses and toast to our new colleague, Shen Yanran!"

Upon seeing that the boss had spoken, everyone at the table readily raised their hands and loudly greeted Shen Yanran, saying, "Welcome, Designer Shen!"

Shen Yanran was attending a company welcome ceremony for the first time and didn't know what to do. She could only drink with everyone. Luckily, it was just low-alcohol red wine, otherwise she would have gotten drunk and made a fool of herself.

"Thank you everyone, I'll drink this in one gulp, you can drink as you like." Shen Yanran raised her glass of red wine and drank it all in one go.

Everyone had assumed that someone like Shen Yanran, who could rise directly to the position of chief designer, must be the kind of person who was particularly pretentious and would just casually drink a few sips to get by. They were surprised to see her so generous and drink the whole glass in one go, which really made them look at her in a new light.

Just then, someone suggested, "Mr. Zhao, seafood should be paired with beer to make it more enjoyable. Why don't we have the waiter bring in a case of beer later?"

Since it was all for fun, Zhang Qingyun had no objections, but he was worried that Shen Yanran might not like it. "Yanran, how about we switch to beer?"

"Anything is fine." She was just there to join in the fun, so she didn't care what she drank.

Besides, she had drunk alcohol a few times with Wenqian when they went to street food stalls before, so it should be fine.

Zhao Qingying nodded, "Okay, I'll go and call the waiter to bring the wine."

At the same time, Zhang Ye received a WeChat message from Ye Shasha, urging her to go out and meet her. Ye Shasha also transferred 3,000 yuan to Zhang Ye as a deposit.

She was so nervous that she almost gave up on helping Ye Shasha, but when she saw that there was really money in her phone, she was tempted. So she immediately called out to Zhao Qingying, "President Zhao, let me go. You stay and keep Designer Shen company."

“Alright, there should be a waiter at the door. You can just go out and tell him.” Zhao Qingying handed over the task of ordering drinks to Zhang Ye without any suspicion.

Zhang Ye smirked, took his phone, and left.

Sure enough, as soon as I stepped outside, I saw a waiter waiting nearby. I told him, "Could you please take a case of beer inside for me?"

"Okay, no problem." The waiter nodded in response, then took out a walkie-talkie and said a few words.

Zhang Ye felt his phone buzzing in his hand. He looked down and saw it was Ye Shasha's WeChat message: "Zhang Ye, since you took my deposit, you have to do things for me, or I'll make you pay tenfold!"

Zhang Ye knew that Ye Shasha's background was extraordinary and that it was definitely not just a bluff. He quickly said to the waiter at the door, "Um, if anyone comes out and asks me later, just say I went to the restroom."

When Zhang Ye arrived, Ye Shasha was clearly impatient and even a little angry. "Zhang Ye, what's wrong with you? I sent you so many WeChat messages before you came. Did you regret taking my money?"

Zhang Ye ran over, and upon hearing Ye Shasha's accusation, immediately shook her head and said, "No, I don't regret it."

Ye Shasha, on the verge of losing her patience, said, "I don't care whether you really don't regret it or you're just pretending. Anyway, I've already given you the deposit. All you have to do is put this in Shen Yanran's quilt and make her drink it, and I'll transfer the rest of the money to you immediately."

As she spoke, she took out a packet of white powder from her pocket and handed it to Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye was terrified when she saw the white powder in her hand, and her face turned deathly pale. "Ye Shasha, this isn't drugs, is it? Are you crazy? You want me to give Shen Yanran this stuff to drink? It'll kill her!"

Seeing her making such a fuss, Ye Shasha couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Look at you, so full of yourself. This isn't drugs, it's hallucinogenic powder. It makes people dizzy and unconscious, but they won't die."

"What do you want to do by drugging Shen Yanran?" Zhang Ye seemed to have realized what Ye Shasha wanted to do, but she was still a little unsure. What if something really happened and it would implicate her?

Ye Shasha glared at her unhappily and said, "What I do is none of your business. All you need to do now is pour this packet of medicine into Shen Yanran's cup, and then, while she's unconscious, take her phone and pretend to call someone named Wen Qian to ask for her address so you can take her home. I'll be waiting for you at the door when you come out. Just hand her over to me."

After hearing Ye Shasha's plan, Zhang Ye became even more certain of her suspicions. Moreover, since Ye Shasha had already received the money, she had no choice but to do it. "Okay, I understand. Wait for my call later."

Zhang Ye gripped the packet of hallucinogenic powder tightly in his hand and sat down next to Shen Yanran again.

Just then, Shen Yanran's glass was empty, so while she was talking to Zhao Qingying, he secretly mixed the powder with beer and poured it into the glass little by little. Then he immediately handed it to Shen Yanran and said with a stiff and nervous expression, "Designer Shen, welcome to our company. I'd like to toast you."

After saying that, he ignored Shen Yanran's attitude and drank all the wine in his hand.

Shen Yanran found Zhang Ye's sudden enthusiasm strange, and she also noticed that when Zhang Ye was drinking, there seemed to be a small piece of powder stuck to her hand.

Suddenly, she had a gut feeling that she couldn't just drink the glass of wine that was offered to her. Her light lips curled slightly indifferently as she said, "Thank you, Xiao Ye, but I'm not feeling well and can't drink anymore."

Zhang Ye didn't expect Shen Yanran to reject him so directly, but he still said, "Then you can't drink alcohol, but you can drink juice, right? I'll go get you a glass of orange juice."

If Zhang Ye had simply given up, Shen Yanran wouldn't have suspected anything, but she seemed to have a strong urgency to have her drink something.

It is said that one should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others.

In this life, when she's out and about, she has to be extra careful.

Zhang Ye was afraid that the 30,000 yuan she had worked so hard to get would be gone just like that. Fortunately, she didn't pour all the powder into the beer. She left a small portion and then poured it all into the orange juice.

He gently shook it a few times to make sure it wouldn't reveal any flaws before turning around and handing it to Shen Yanran.

Although Shen Yanran couldn't see anything wrong with the juice in front of her, she could imagine what Zhang Ye had been doing with his back to her.

She was puzzled, though. She and Zhang Ye had only met for the first time today and had no grudges against each other. Why would he want to harm her?

Could someone be giving instructions behind the scenes?

But who is this person?

Just then, Zhang Ye's phone on the table vibrated again. Shen Yanran glanced at it subconsciously and was surprised to see Ye Shasha's name.

Therefore, Zhang Ye and Ye Shasha know each other, and Ye Shasha is the mastermind behind her.

It seems that the punishment of 15 days of detention at the police station is too lenient. She should be directly reported to jail, which would save her the trouble of going to great lengths to find someone else to help her take revenge!

Zhang Ye still looked at Shen Yanran nervously, hoping that she would not refuse again and would just drink the juice, so that she could get the 30,000 yuan she wanted.

Shen Yanran took the juice, gently brought it to her nose and smelled it. There was no special smell, so it must have been something colorless and odorless.

I had only seen such things in the news before, with many men using them to harm young girls. I never thought it would happen to her, especially since she was drugged by a new colleague she had only known for a short time.

A cold glint suddenly flashed in Shen Yanran's indifferent eyes, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "Zhang Ye, do you know a woman named Ye Shasha?"
