Without waiting for Secretary Tian to answer, Mr. Cheng slapped his thigh in annoyance.

"It's all the fault of this fellow Da Li. He fooled me, an old man."

"He was talking about how great the projects Xiao Zhang had developed were, and I couldn't get him to agree, so I just lumped those projects together under a bunch of names and gave them to Xiao Pang's team..."

"Didn't Xiao Pang see anything?"

"If this girl finds out that I've thrown something into her group that she doesn't like, who knows what she'll do."

"By the way, we must not let her know that these projects are related to Xiao Zhang, otherwise Xiao Zhang will be finished!"

Secretary Tian's smile remained unchanged.

"Don't worry, I discussed this with Minister Li before temporarily inserting these projects."

"The projects were reported under the names of several foreign trade companies, with Xiao Zhang's name barely mentioned. Their presence in the projects was even deliberately downplayed."

"Minister Li cares more about Comrade Xiao Zhang than you do. He repeatedly emphasized to me that these projects were all done under pressure from others."

Old Cheng nodded and suddenly laughed.

"I'm just worrying too much, old man. Xiao Pang and her team members are extremely picky. I'm afraid Xiao Zhang's fledgling projects won't even catch their eye."

Just when he thought he was worrying too much, Mr. Cheng Cheng could never have imagined that among the final list of projects for the business team that he asked Secretary Tian to give to Pang Yuanyuan, five of them were selected by Pang Yuanyuan as if they were treasures.

The five projects that the old subordinate Da Li had squeezed in with a lot of favors were all selected by Pang Yuanyuan!

He could not have guessed that the reason Pang Yuanyuan blamed Secretary Tian for "asking questions even though she knew the answer" was because Pang Yuanyuan thought that these five projects were backup plans that Mr. Cheng had deliberately prepared for her.

A proud woman like Pang Yuanyuan has never disdained to rely on the help of her family and elders to do things, but when faced with these five projects, she was also extremely conflicted.

Just because these five items are so delicious!

Pang Yuanyuan had no choice but to accept the "care" from her elders.

Compared with one's own face, the actual benefits these projects can bring are more important.

"Xiao Song," Pang Yuanyuan, feeling conflicted, thought for a long time and called a team member over. "What is Xiao Zhang, who was assigned here by the higher-ups, doing now?"

"Tea and other things for our business team."

"Don't worry, Team Leader! Just like I did with the other people with connections, I guarantee he won't be able to even step foot inside the venue!"

Pang Yuanyuan thought of the secret support given to her by her elders, and finally sighed helplessly.

"After all, it was Elder Cheng who arranged this, so we can't do anything too embarrassing."

"It's right not to let him into the venue, but you can give him permission to help the business team keep their belongings. It can be included in the business team's unified fee and settled for him together."

Xiao Song curled his lips.

"It seems that even you find this relationship a bit troublesome. Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"
