He later found out that the woman was a former secretary in the company.He resigned and left the company a long time ago, whereabouts are unknown.

Besides Zheng Si'an, it seems that someone else is investigating.

In the end, the spearhead turned out to be...

What is the truth?

Welcome to "Lakeside Quietness" of "Network New Liaozhai"

This story is purely fictitious and any similarity is purely coincidental.

Chapter 1

Zheng Si'an woke up from the dream again.

The woman appeared in his dream again.

In the dream, the woman was struggling in the water and reached out to him for help, but when he reached out, the woman sank to the bottom of the water.

Zheng Si'an had no choice but to speed up desperately, the two of them were getting closer and closer, and they caught the woman's hand. Suddenly, the woman turned her head, and what suddenly appeared in front of Zheng Si'an was a skull and chicken feet. drag him into the water...

He was scared out of his wits, and suddenly woke up from the dream, covered in cold sweat, his heart was still beating, and the strange laughter of the woman seemed to be echoing in his ears.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zheng Si'an rushed into the bathroom, turned on the lotus, turned on the water to the maximum, and let the hot water rush onto him.

It seems that only in this way can the water wash away everything in the dream.

Since when did you start having this dream?

Ever since he returned to Jiangcheng from abroad, he has had the same dream every day in his own home.

It's been a week since I came back and I haven't missed a day.

Does he know this woman?

He searched for memories in his mind.

However, most of the people he met while studying abroad were foreigners, and the limited few Chinese faces were women, which was very rare, and he was sure that there was no such person.

Did you know each other before going abroad?

How old was he before going abroad?

15 is old.

do not know.

He could not recall such a person.

Hehe, what's wrong with me, why do I have to think I know her?

It's just a dream, don't you think too much?

In the early morning, when Zheng Si'an came down from upstairs, his parents and younger sister were already waiting for him.

"Oh, Si'an is down, come quickly, I'll be waiting for you."

Li Yafang, Zheng Si'an's mother, greeted her.

"Mom and Dad, I said you eat first, don't wait for me."

Dad Zheng Qiangdong snorted, put down the newspaper, and picked up the chopsticks.

Sister Zheng Sichun said with a smile: "Brother, you used to be abroad, and your parents waited for you to have dinner together. After waiting for ten years, now you finally have the opportunity to have breakfast with the family. You will help their old people. Come down early and you will be happy." OK."

Li Yafang glared at her daughter, "It's just you who talk too much, so don't hurry up. You'll be late for school later."

"Mom, you're so biased. If I say one more thing, you just rush me. My brother won't come down for a long time, and you don't want to rush. If I'm late, it's also his fault."

"You girl..."

Zheng Si'an looked at his younger sister, "Sichun, I'll drive you off later, I promise I won't be late."

Li Yafang: "Si'an, today is your first day at the company. Don't be late. Let your sister take a taxi by herself."

Zheng Sichun: You still say you are not partial?He picked up the fritters and took a bite.

"Mom, it's okay. The company doesn't go to work until nine o'clock. I'll take my sister to school first. They are all in one direction, so I can make it in time."

Zheng Si'an's home is in the Dongshan Yangshenggu villa area in Hedong, only half an hour away from the Hedong New District where the company is located.

"Thank you bro."

Zheng Sichun gave his brother a big smile.

Li Yafang poured a glass of milk for her son, "It looks like you haven't been in a good mood these days, did you stay up late at night? Don't worry too much about work. Right, Old Zheng?"

Zheng Qiangdong looked up at his son, "Well, you gradually become familiar with the company's affairs, and don't rush for a while."

"Yes, I see." Zheng Si'an nodded.

Of course he couldn't say it was because he had a nightmare at night, so that his mother would be more worried.Maybe she will come to watch him sleep at night.

The family started to eat.

Zheng Si'an finished eating in a few mouthfuls, went upstairs to get his briefcase, and sent his younger sister to school first.

Zheng Sichun went to a private middle school in Hedong New District. He usually lives in the school and only comes back on weekends.

"Sichun, do you plan to go out after graduating from high school?"

"No plan. What are you going to do? I don't need to inherit the family business."

"Hey, who said you have to inherit the family business before going out? I'll take you as an irony when you say that! You also have a share in the family business, so don't expect me to bear the burden alone."

"It's still okay to go out to play, and it's fine to study abroad. And, brother, I'm serious, don't pin your hopes on me, I have no interest in the affairs of the company. I don't make trouble for you, it's OK Yes, my hobbies are writing books, taking pictures, and wandering around, hehe, brother, it’s up to you to work harder in the company.”

"Okay, with big brother here, you can have fun."

Zheng Si'an patted his younger sister's hand lovingly.

His younger sister is almost ten years younger than him, and has been following his brother since he was a child.

Although Zheng Si'an went abroad to study in middle school, and Zheng Sichun has been in China, but the relationship between the brother and sister is very good.

After sending his sister to the school gate, Zheng Si'an drove towards the company.

The company is the Dongfang Group in my family. It was founded by my parents, so I used two people's names.After decades of operation, it now has its own independent group building in Hedong New District.

Zheng Si'an parked the car and stood in front of the 28-storey building, full of thoughts.

Although there are many tall buildings around.Some are taller and more majestic than Dongfang, but Zheng Si'an thinks his home is the best.

Before he went abroad, Dongfang Group still rented a two-story office in the old city.In just ten years, he had his own office building.

He is proud of his parents, but also feels a heavy burden on himself.

I was sent abroad by my parents to study further in middle school, with the purpose that one day I will be able to control everything here in the future.

It is difficult to start a business and even more difficult to keep a business.

You must not become a prodigal.

Zheng Si'an strode towards the building with a straight chest, full of pride in his heart: Dongfang, here I come.

Dongfang Group is a business kingdom.The center of this kingdom is on the 18th floor, where the offices of Chairman Zheng Qiangdong, Chief Financial Officer Li Yafang and several other CEOs are located. Zheng Si'an is not yet eligible to enter.

But he is also good, the starting point is already high, there is no need to start from the bottom like others.

Zheng Si'an returned from studying abroad and joined Dongfang as the manager of the overseas marketing department.

Although he is the prince of the East, everything still follows the formal procedures.

The cover letter he submitted himself went to Dongfang's HR department.After the interview, he was finally notified to report.

At that time, Dongfang had three positions suitable for him, one was the assistant to the general manager, the other was the manager of the planning department, and the other was the manager of the overseas marketing department. The others were out of his consideration.

He has a high starting point. If he insists on starting from the bottom like others and climbing up step by step, that would be hypocritical.

Zheng Si'an found it unbelievable and illogical. Unless he was an undercover agent, would a talented student who returned from studying abroad start as an ordinary clerk or odd job?

It's like a born rich second generation who insists on pretending to be poor, either because of his mental illness or just for show.

Zheng Si'an chose the Overseas Marketing Department, which is Dong Fang's newly established department with the purpose of developing overseas markets.

Zheng Si'an didn't feel that this was a department specially set up for him.

As for what other people think, he doesn't care.

At least in father Zheng Qiangdong's plan

This is the company's needs. Dongfang used to be based at home, but now it needs to develop abroad.

And Zheng Si'an felt that what he had learned would be useful, so he chose this department without hesitation.

I am going to take this place as the starting point and make a good effort so that I can sit on the 18th floor in the future.
