The super rich starts with the self-discipline challenge

Chapter 45: Failed to Pretend

Zhong Yun finished his cigarette and went upstairs. He still went to the reception room of the brand management department.

As soon as he entered the office, he clearly felt that the voices around him suddenly became quieter. Everyone looked at him and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

He walked to the reception room calmly, opened the door and walked in.

After the door was closed, people in the office immediately started talking in low voices.

"Humph, his master has lost his power, why is he so arrogant?"

Xu Zhiyan snorted coldly and spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.

In the past few days, Zhong Yun didn't come to the company. She felt that the air in the company became sweet and relaxed. She wished that this man would disappear forever.

Therefore, she was the happiest when President Su lost power.

Luo Qiaoling and two other colleagues sitting nearby remained silent.

Xu Zhiyan felt bored and stopped talking.

Luo Qiaoling secretly shook her head in her heart, thinking that her classmate had really low emotional intelligence.

No matter how much President Su has lost power, she is still the vice president of the group, more than ten levels higher than them, and it is not something that ordinary employees like them can discuss.

What she was more curious about was, had President Su returned to the company?
I heard that the group’s board of directors is going to appoint a new vice president to replace her. If President Su returns to the company, there will be something interesting to watch.

……

Zhong Yun was not affected by all this mess and continued typing with voice as usual.

When it was almost noon, he sent a message to Assistant Wang, asking her if Mr. Xia had any plans for lunch and whether he needed a car.

After receiving a negative reply, he was about to order some takeout when a phone call came in and the caller ID showed it was He Ziqian.

"I heard you went back to the company without telling me. Are you free at noon? I'll treat you to a meal."

"Are you sure you want to treat me to a meal? Aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"

"What does the fight between the gods up there have to do with us minions? Stop talking nonsense. Do you have time?"

"You're treating, so of course I have time."

……

In a Yunnan rice noodle shop.

Zhong Yun saw He Ziqian who had already taken a seat and walked over to him. "You're going to treat me to this?"

He Ziqian said, "This is good. My daily food budget is only twenty dollars, including breakfast and lunch. I'm treating you to this meal today, and I saved the money from my cigarette money this week."

Zhong Yun felt a little sympathy when he heard him talk so pitifully. This relationship was too hard. Twenty yuan a day for food was not much compared to what he had before.

"You're telling me this, aren't you asking me to treat you?"

He Ziqian said, "That won't do. I promised to treat you, you can't snatch it from me."

He ordered two servings of rice noodles and one serving of fried dumplings, spending a total of 40 yuan, which was enough for his food for two days.

Seeing his happy face, Zhong Yun knew that he would not invite him to dinner for no reason, so he asked, "Is there something good? Are you getting married?"

Then you have to give out a red envelope, starting at two hundred yuan.

He Ziqian smiled and said, "It's not that soon to get married, but there is indeed good news. I got a promotion and my salary increased by 1,000 yuan."

When Zhong Yun heard that it wasn't a wedding, he congratulated from the bottom of his heart, "Then we should really treat them to a meal and share in the good fortune."

"Hehe. Thanks to President Meng for promoting me. I finally met a leader who appreciates my abilities."

He Ziqian said excitedly, "My previous bosses only looked at your background and whether you can flatter them, and never looked at whether you have the ability. Although the new CEO Meng is young, he has a keen eye for talent. He saw my ability and gave me a stage to display my talents. Do you know how that feels?"

Well--

Are you sure that she is attracted by your ability?
Zhong Yun looked at his excited face and couldn't bear to tell him the truth.

The fact is, two days ago, when he was having dinner with Meng Jiaen, Meng Jiaen asked him if He Ziqian was his friend.

He said, "I guess so."

At that time, Meng Jiaen didn't say anything.

As a result, He Ziqian was promoted and given a raise without any announcement.

What could he say?

He didn't even get a promotion or a raise!
The last time he saved Yang Chuzhen on the rooftop, he only got a banner for bravery, a commendation from the company, and a bonus of one thousand yuan.

One thousand yuan, Jiang Qizhe, a vice president, can actually give it!

With such narrow-mindedness and stinginess, it’s no wonder that Jiang Qizhe can’t beat Jiang An.

...During the meal, He Ziqian kept praising Meng Jiaen. It was obvious that he was very excited as it was the first time he was appreciated by his leader.

Zhong Yun really wanted to record these words and play them for Meng Jiaen when they met next time.

He Ziqian finally changed the subject and said, "By the way, have you heard that a new vice president came to the company today? It was a grand ceremony. President Jiang personally brought a group of senior executives to the front desk to greet him."

"I heard that this person is an imperial envoy sent by the board of directors to serve as the group's chief financial officer. The most exaggerated thing is that she is only 27 years old and looks very beautiful, like a big star, cool and sassy. Of course, she is still a little inferior to our President Meng."

At this time, he still did not forget to flatter Meng Jiaen, and his awareness was quite high.

Zhong Yun thought for a moment, "Then I'm afraid President Jiang is not very happy?"

Previously, the group's finance and personnel were both firmly in Jiang An's hands, and the core business department was also in Su Wan's hands. Jiang Qizhe could only be in charge of some unimportant departments.

Jiang An stepped down, and the group sent someone to take away the financial power. It would be strange if Jiang Qizhe was happy.

He Ziqian said, "That's for sure. I also heard that this CEO Xia fired a deputy director after only one morning. Now everyone in the entire finance department is in danger."

"This is ridiculous. Can a deputy director of a company just open a job whenever he wants? You're pretending that labor laws don't exist."

"I heard that he was asked to resign on his own."

“And he really quit?”

"I must have made some mistakes at work and got caught. I have no choice but to resign."

It seems that Xia Siyin came prepared. She wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and establish her authority.

……

After they finished eating, Zhong Yun just left the store and suddenly turned back to He Ziqian and said, "I left my cigarette on the table and forgot to take it. Can you help me get it?"

He Ziqian turned around to get the cigarette, then went out to look, and the person was gone.

"Where have you gone?"

Suddenly, he looked at the pack of Furong King in his hand and couldn't help laughing. This old Zhong is really nice.

He flipped it open and took a look. There was about half of it left, enough for him to smoke for two days.

He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Then he touched his pocket and remembered that he had forgotten to bring his lighter.

"No, why don't you leave the lighter too? This old Zhong is really not nice."

……

In the afternoon, in the reception room, Zhong Yun was playing with a lighter while thinking about what would happen next.

I'm stuck again.

Do you want to go to the rooftop to get some fresh air?
Forget it. It would be troublesome if I accidentally heard some secrets that I shouldn’t hear.

Just as he was thinking, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Ren Gang came in with his men. When he saw him, his face turned serious, "This is the reception room, what are you doing here? Get out."

This was said very bluntly, without giving any face at all.

Zhong Yun glanced at him and saw a few people following him, who should be the company's customers. Without saying anything, he put his lighter and cell phone in his pocket and walked out.

As soon as he walked outside, Ren Gang said from behind, "Wait, this is the reception room of the brand management department, which is specially used for meeting with customers. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter casually. Do you remember?"

He said this very loudly, and other people in the office looked over here, with different expressions on their faces when they heard Ren Gang's words.

Some can't bear it, some are indifferent, some gloat over other people's misfortune, and some just watch the fun as it has nothing to do with them.

Ren Gang noticed that Xu Zhiyan also saw this, and he felt happy. He was about to say something, but suddenly a loud shout came, "Ren Gang, what are you doing?"

He was slightly startled. The person who came was none other than his immediate superior, Director Wu. Just as he was about to explain, Director Wu looked stern and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the client?"

These words were quite harsh, and Ren Gang's face suddenly turned the color of liver.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to teach this annoying Zhong Yun a lesson, but ended up getting scolded and losing all face.

Director Wu politely invited several clients into the reception room and asked his secretary to entertain them first. Then he closed the door, turned around, and looked at Ren Gang with cold eyes, "I asked you to entertain the clients, not to meddle in other people's business. Don't take chicken feathers as an order."

At this moment, Ren Gang's face turned pale and his lips trembled slightly.

He just couldn't understand why Director Wu was still standing up for Zhong Yun when President Su had already lost his power?
Not only did he not understand, everyone else present was also very surprised.

Director Wu's words just now were clearly meant to help Zhong Yun, and they were quite harsh.

Director Wu turned to look at Zhong Yun and said in a friendly manner, "Zhong Yun, please go to the conference room. No one will disturb you."

This was a huge contrast to when he had just scolded Ren Gang.

Zhong Yun himself was surprised. He had never seen Director Wu treat him so well before.
