Translator: 549690339

Song Zhizhi had just walked into the front door of the Commercial Management Building with a pot of porridge in her hand when she came face-to-face with Chu Qin, who was leaving at that moment.

Chu Qin glanced at the object in Song Zhizhi’s hand, then at the black car still at the entrance. Her face slightly darkened. “Did your boyfriend bring that?” she asked.

“Er, yes,” Song Zhizhi nodded.

Chu Qin said coldly, “Don’t abuse your family background and do whatever you please.”

Song Zhizhi furrowed her brows.

Truthtumy, She generally respected Chu Qin. Even though Chu Qin could be absurdly demanding ot her subordinates, she understood that this stemmed from Chu Qin’s competitive nature due to her family background. But at this moment, she was genuinely annoyed.

She intended to retort.

But Chu Qin never gave her the chance to speak and simply walked away.

Song Zhizhi watched her retreating figure.

She has swallowed half a breath of displeasure.

Back in the office, everyone slightly relaxed due to Chu Qin’s departure. Everyone got up and moved around, making coffee, eating snacks.

Song Zhizhi also sat at her desk and ate her “affection meal.”

It tasted quite good.

“Did your boyfriend bring it?” asked Li Sheng, a new girl who had joined the company with Song Zhizhi. They were both 23 years old.

Song Zhizhi nodded.

“You’re so lucky. Us single people…” Li Sheng said enviously. Song Zhizhi just smiled and didn’t say anything more.

Some happiness is best enjoyed privately.

“Did you run into Manager Chu earlier?” Li Sheng asked.

“I did.” And it was quite unpleasant. “She’s knocked off work, hasn’t she?”

“She has.”

“Who I-mows how much longer we will have to work. We newbies can’t speak up.” Li Sheng complained a bit.

Song Zhizhi didn’t respond.

“By the way, have you heard? Manager Chu doesn’t have a good relationship with her husband,” Li Sheng whispered into Song Zhizhi’s ear. “That’s why she throws herself into her work all the time.”

Song Zhizhi had never heard that before, but she could guess.

If their relationship was good, Chu Qin wouldn’t have buried herself in work.

“I wish a man could tame Manager Chu. Then we wouldn’t have such a hard time…” Li Sheng looked up as if she were praying.

Song Zhizhi just smiled.

Only a newbie would dare to casually chat about their superior like this. The other senior employees would never dare to criticize her.

Li Sheng then pulled Song Zhizhi into more gossip, mainly about Chu Qin. It was mostly Li Sheng doing the talking and Song Zhizhi only occasionally chimed in.

The night got deeper and deeper.

By 5 a.m., most people couldn’t hold on any longer and began to sleep on their desks.

Until 8:30 a.m.

Everyone got up to start work on time.

The tense work atmosphere remained, and everyone in the department was summoned to the conference room.

Zhang Zhentian began to explain the plan they had been working on all night, “The designated area for the economic zone is located to the west of Jin City, which borders the sea. In addition to housing, shopping malls, medical and educational facilities, we also plan to build a marine amusement project. We aim to create the largest marine amusement area in Jin City and even the entire Yanshang Country…”

“So, have you really given the Marine Amusement Area a proper thought? How to plan it? Is it feasible? What is the exact location? Can it attract investors? Can the marine projects guarantee absolute safety? Approximately how much will the investment be? And so forth!” Chu Qin slammed the documents on the table in front of her. “You haven’t thought about anything, and yet, you talk to me about planning!”

Zhang Zhentian stammered out, “Because of the limited time, we haven’t been able to come up with all the detailed data. But we heard that Beixia Country has a successful marine amusement project. If allowed, we could go and learn from them.”

“Everything is about borrowing and learning?! Don’t you have any original ideas?” Chu Qin yelled, “We hired you at high salaries. Are we just paying for you to plagiarize other people’s work?”

Zhang Zhentian was at a loss for words.

The whole conference room fell silent.

“Enough!” Chu Qin shouted angrily, “At the organization -wide project meeting at 2 this afternoon, Zhang Zhentian, you’ll come with me. You’ll explain to our superiors about your immature plan yourself!”

With that, she pushed away her chair and left the room.

No one dared to utter a word as they looked at each other in bewilderment.

At 10 a.m.

Song Zhizhi was diligently studying the economic development case. Personally, she thought the marine project was quite interesting. She also researched the amusement project in Beixia Country online and found it to be very popular and well -received. It had stimulated all the businesses in that commercial area. It was indeed a project worth considering.

Just as she was getting engrossed in her research.

She suddenly heard crying sounds from nearby.

Song Zhizhi turned her head and saw Li Sheng sobbing at her desk.

The others also all looked over, seeming rather baffled.

“What’s wrong, Li Sheng?” asked Wang Qiang, another new recruit, with concern.

“Nothing. I just said something I shouldn’t have said.” Li Sheng wept, “I’m so stupid. I trust everyone and say whatever I want. I was blind to believe everyone.”

‘What exactly happened?” Wang Qiang was somewhat impatient.

“I just casually mentioned that Manager Chu is too strict. Who would have thought someone would tattle to Manager Chu!” Li Sheng wiped her tears. “I learned my lesson. I thought certain people were on the same side as me because we are all newbies. But I didn’t realize that they have a different background. They’re not on the same level as me. From now on, I’m smarter. Wang Qiang, you also shouldn’t be so naive and say everything.”

She was obviously implying something.

There were only three newbies: aside from Li Sheng herself and Wang Qiang, there was only Song Zhizhi.

Wang Qiang looked at her.

The others were also looking at her.

Song Zhizhi pursed her lips. Her first reaction wasn’t to explain, but to realize that she was being framed.

Just then, Chu Qin’S assistant, Wang Zichuan, came over. “Song Zhizhi, Manager Chu wants to see you.”

Being called in at this moment, anyone would misunderstand.

She followed Wang Zichuan to Chu Qin’s office stiffly.

The noise behind her came loud and clear, “Stop crying. Be more careful in the future. This place is complicated. Be alert and don’t blurt out everything.”

Song Zhizhi was taken to be a two-faced person.

From now on, it seemed, few people would be willing to befriend her here.

She entered Chu Qin’s office and stood in front of Chu Qin’s desk.

“Were you talking about me behind my back?” Chu Qin, sitting in her executive chair, elegantly crossed her legs and pointed a gold-encased pen at her, asking in a frosty tone.

“Who told you that?”

“Naturally, someone will tell me,” Chu Qin swiveled her chair. “So, you think since you’re the daughter of CEO Song, you’re superior.”

“Do you harbor prejudice against me?” Song Zhizhi directly confronted her. “Or is it that, as a leader, you habitually speculate and even criticize your subordinates.”

“You sure do have a slick tongue, ” Chu Qin sneered. “I can’t stand backbiters or the ones who ride on the coattails of their connections, thinking that with low work capability they can achieve high dreams.”

“Does Manager Chu only judge people by their appearances? Do you know me? How can you assert that I have low work capability and even arrogantly think of myself as superior? In the past half month since I joined the Commercial Management Organization, what advantageous things have I taken advantage of because of my background? You’re trying to frame me!” Song Zhizhi retorted word by word, questioning Chu Qin in a forceful tone..
