I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Zhao Bin stood there, feeling a little dizzy.

He was in a daze for a moment before realizing that he was being lectured by one of his employees.

He immediately became furious.

But then he remembered what Qin Yun Chu had said to him earlier, and before he could vent his anger, he quickly took it back.

In the world of martial arts, one cannot afford to lose one's temper.

"Hehe, Chen Ya, I was a little... a little short-tempered before, and a little too trusting."

Chen Ya crossed his legs, tapped his hand on the table, and asked, "So what do you mean?"

Zhao Bin grinned and said, "We became friends after a fight, but we still cooperate with each other at work. We have a long road ahead of us."

He put it very eloquently.

The saying "no fight, no friendship" means that you misjudged someone, didn't see the Buddha behind them, and hit the wrong person.

"Working together" means that everyone should give way and back down, so that everyone can have a good outcome.

The phrase "The road ahead is long" carries a hint of warning. While Chen Ya may have connections, isn't Zhao Bin no different?

We're all in the same boat, so we'll run into each other again sooner or later.

He felt that he had expressed his meaning clearly.

"Okay," Chen Ya said, then stood up.

Zhao Bin felt a sense of relief, thinking that Chen Ya had finally given up, but unexpectedly, he immediately said:

"I think not only are your hearing bad, but your brain is also bad, and your memory is terrible."

"You said that only one of me and Wang Qian can stay, so if you want me to stay, does that mean Wang Qian has to leave?"

He spoke in a voice that was neither loud nor quiet.

At least everyone in the office heard it.

Wang Qian was suddenly called upon and sat to the side, not daring to breathe.

Zhao Bin swallowed hard.

We've already done twenty-four prostrations, so what's one more?

Anyway, Chen Ya can't leave.

He said, "I spoke too impulsively. Since it's a misunderstanding, I take it back, and none of you need to leave."

Chen Ya is gone.

Zhao Bin was a little frustrated; he didn't know what else he needed to do.

As a result, Chen Ya walked to the door, then came back, carrying a bag of takeout food.

He just went to pick up his takeout.

Back in his seat, he unpacked his takeout, placed it on his table, picked up his chopsticks, and said leisurely, "Okay, continue."

The way he was acting made him look like a boss listening to a subordinate's work report.

Old Tang clutched his stomach, his toes digging fiercely together.

Chen Ya! You've overdone it!

He's really scared now, really scared that Zhao Bin might get angry and overturn his bowl while he's eating.

Zhao Bin pinched his leg with his fingers and said, "I mean, I take back everything I said before, okay?"

"Anything else?" Chen Ya asked, picking up some food from his bowl with his chopsticks.

"I do have a bit of a short temper."

"Anything else?" Chen Ya finished chewing slowly, then pointed at him with her chopsticks and said, "I haven't even finished my meal yet, and you're already done talking?"

Zhao Bin finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Chen Ya, don't go too far!"

Chen Ya's phone vibrated twice more, and he took it out.

It is Qin Yunchu.

Qin Yun Chu has sent him more than 30 messages since this morning.

It was all about explaining the situation and comforting him.

He reads everything but doesn't reply.

After reading her last message, "I promise this will never happen again," he calmly put his phone back in his pocket.

Looking back at Zhao Bin, she said, "You gave me a choice before, so I'll give you an option too. You and Zhang Li, one of you should resign."

Zhao Bin finally lost his temper, slamming his fist on the table with a loud thud and yelling, "What the hell are you talking about! You son of a bitch! How dare you say such a thing?! Damn it!"

Chen Ya looked at him teasingly: "Oh, you know I can't say it? Then how dare you say it out loud?"

His expression suddenly changed, and he said loudly, "Who stays and who leaves is a matter for human beings to decide, not for you, Zhao Bin, to decide!"

"You, Zhao Bin, just patted your head and decided whether an employee should stay or leave, and then let them choose for themselves? Is this company your family's property? How dare you!"

"What if I don't resign? Will you make things difficult for me? Will you bully me in the workplace? Or what do you want me to do? Let me experience your methods?"

"Since you dare to break the rules, I'm not going to pretend with you anymore. I'm telling you clearly now, you and Zhang Li, one of you has to leave, or you'll experience my methods and see who's tougher. Whoever loses gets out, okay?"

"This..." Zhao Bin was speechless.

One of the employees secretly slipped out of the house.

Subsequently, other employees who knew what was good for them also ran out.

Only Zhang Ping and Lao Tang remained seated.

They dared not move an inch.

……

Qin Yunchu sat in her office, anxiously shaking her leg and checking her phone every now and then.

Up to now, Chen Ya has shown no sign of replying to the messages.

Qin Yaoyang was sitting at the other end of her office, playing chess with Gu Yuanzhen.

"Snap!" Gu Yuanzhen placed her piece.

Qin Yaoyang chuckled: "Hey, you're going to use the cannon, then I'll checkmate you."

"Wait, wait, sir, I didn't see it!"

Qin Yaoyang chuckled and put away the chess pieces. Gu Yuanzhen stared at the chessboard for a long time before finally coming up with a move: "Knight move, checkmate!"

He glanced at Gu Yuanzhen with a smile and said, "Then I'll use my flying general to devour you with my handsome charm."

"Ah!" Gu Yuanzhen was too embarrassed to take back her move, scratching her head. "Master Qin is still the best. I can't beat him."

Qin Yaoyang raised his head, a confident smile on his face.

He sat up straight, holding his cup, and said, "Young man, you should look and think more before you make a move. The more you think, the more correct your move will be. You may make a correct move even if you think less, but you can't possibly make a better move than those who think more than you."

Gu Yuanzhen nodded modestly and listened quietly.

"If you think one step ahead of your opponent, you'll be one body length ahead; if you think ten steps ahead, you'll be one dimension ahead. They will all become your stepping stones."

He turned and glanced at Qin Yun Chu, then said, "Yun Chu, come here."

"Hey!"

Qin Yunchu walked over, still holding her phone in her hand.

Qin Yaoyang took a sip of water and said slowly, "I already guessed it, you don't need to hide it from me anymore."

"Guessed what?" Qin Yun Chu's eyes blinked twice.

"You and that Chen Ya," Qin Yaoyang drawled out, "are dating, right?"

"Pat-pat-pat-pat..."

The chess piece in Gu Yuanzhen's hand fell onto the chessboard, making a series of sounds.

Qin Yunchu initially stood there like a frightened kitten, then looked speechless and asked, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

Qin Yaoyang smiled and said, "Did I tell you right?"

When he arrived at Qin Yunchu's office in the morning, he saw Chen Ya sitting on the sofa while Qin Yunchu was standing, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Then, Qin Yunchu mentioned Chen Ya's name several times, seemingly trying to get him to pay more attention.

"Actually, when I first saw you all trying to get close to him, I wondered if that Chen Ya was the great writer who was exposed yesterday."

He paused, then said, "However, it's unlikely that Wenhao would actually work here. But I've discovered that, Yun Chu, you've been secretly chatting with him on your phone. He's actually your secret lover, right?"

Chapter 74 This is not a harem.

"Oh, Dad, what are you thinking!" Qin Yun Chu stomped her foot.

Qin Yaoyang chuckled, knowing that his daughter was shy and embarrassed to say it out loud.

She used to get so angry when I made jokes like that to her.

He didn't call her out on it, but instead changed the subject:

"If I remember correctly, there's going to be a major reshuffle this afternoon, right? Before the results are out, do you have any requests?"

Qin Yunchu was stunned for a moment before she realized that her father was asking her if she wanted to get some benefits for her "boyfriend".

"The job transfer was decided long ago, what more can I ask for?"

She had no intention of correcting his point of view. Her phone vibrated, and when she looked down, she saw that Chen Ya had finally replied to her message.

……

At 2 p.m., a layer of restlessness hung over the entire office.

A major job reshuffle is coming up soon, and everyone is losing their focus on work.

The entire Hongtu employee system is divided into 13 levels, each level representing a different level of achievement.

Level 4 employees receive the minimum wage, but promotion to Level 5 is a meteoric rise, allowing them to earn 16 months' salary.

A promotion to level 6 makes you a senior technician, and a promotion to level 7 will also result in the company allocating stock options.

Therefore, rank directly correlates with compensation. No one is indifferent to their compensation.

Zhang Li was sweating profusely. Since noon, she had been checking her email every three minutes, waiting for the internal email about her promotion.

Over the past month, she has gone through a series of procedures, including interviews and assessments.

I also asked some people who had inside information, and they all told me to just wait for good news.

She was initially very confident, but after being berated by Zhao Bin that morning, she became a little insecure again.

By 2:30, there was still no activity in her email.

She stared at the time at the bottom of the computer screen for a long time, then reassured herself that there must be a delay in sending the mass message.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the other end of the office, and people began to leave. Zhang Li looked up and stared at them, feeling annoyed.

"They really advanced from 4 to 6? Holy crap..."

"I never expected this, who's so awesome?"

When these comments reached Zhang Li's ears, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

He stood up unsteadily, quickened his pace, walked to the door of the next office, and looked inside.

She saw that a large group of employees had gathered around something, and everyone was marveling at it.

She pushed aside the people around her and tried to squeeze in, only to see that the person surrounded in the middle was Chen Ya...

"Brother Ya, you're awesome! You have to take me with you in the future!"

"I never imagined that such a powerful figure was right in our midst. I never knew to rely on him before!"

Surrounded by people, Chen Ya remained calm and simply said:

"Stop talking about how great I am. My skills aren't up to par. I've changed roles. I'm not a 6 in a technical position anymore, I'm a 6 in a management position."

Upon hearing this, everyone responded with a chorus of "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").
