“She is indeed capable.” Lu Zheng said after a moment of contemplation.

"Then..." Qiao Zhen's voice carried a hint of doubt.

Since Qiao Yun is so capable, why is she only a group leader? Isn't that a waste of her talent?

"I personally think this matter is not that simple, but I am still investigating. You'd better be careful with her lately."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen nodded: "I understand."

After leaving Lu Zheng's office, Qiao Zhen was called to a group meeting.

Normal group meetings are usually just for reporting on work, so Qiao Zhen didn't pay much attention to this one.

As usual, Qiao Yun asked everyone to report on their work progress.

When it was Qiao Zhen's turn, she took a deep breath and truthfully recounted the progress of her project.

After she finished speaking, she thought Qiao Yun would target her, but to her surprise, she just nodded in satisfaction.

"I understand. You did a good job. Keep up the good work next time."

Immediately, Qiao Yun patted Qiao Zhen on the shoulder, gesturing for her to sit down.

Qiao Zhen sat down in a daze, and even after her bottom hit the chair, she was still a little confused.

Are you just going to let her go like that?

With a smile, Qiao Yun asked about the progress of the remaining people, then gave them a few instructions and let them go.

Qiao Zhen was about to leave when Qiao Yun called out to her, "Wait a minute, Qiao Zhen."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen turned her head and asked, "What is it, Manager Qiao?"

Hearing this, Qiao Yun smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, I'm not going to eat you."

"It's just that when you were reporting on your task earlier, I noticed a small flaw in you, but in order not to delay the progress, I didn't point it out to you beforehand."

"Really?" Qiao Zhen frowned, then asked with a puzzled look, "May I ask where the problem lies?"

“In the project you recently took over, there is a missing set of data, but I don’t have that data here either. I’m afraid you’ll have to go to President Lu’s office to look for it.”

"Really?" Qiao Zhen picked up the project and flipped through it with a look of doubt, only to find that a page was missing at some point, which she had not noticed before.

"Yes, if I hadn't discovered the problem, wouldn't you have been the one to take all the blame if any trouble arose later?"

Qiao Zhen felt a little dizzy listening to this, but couldn't help nodding: "Okay, I'll send you a correct copy after I find the document."

"Okay, when you need to find the file, just transfer it to the USB drive."

As Qiao Yun spoke, she winked at Qiao Zhen.

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen was a little suspicious, but she still took the USB drive.

"By the way, try not to tell President Lu about this. After all, things will only get worse if you tell him about the problems at work."

Qiao Zhen nodded, took the USB drive, and left.

After leaving the office, Qiao Zhen held the cold USB drive in her hand and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

I have a feeling there's something fishy about this.

After thinking it over, Qiao Zhen decided to tell Lu Zheng about it.

After listening to this, Lu Zheng frowned deeply.

After a long silence, he took Qiao Zhen's hand and led her to the internet cafe with the USB drive.

What are you doing at the internet cafe?

Qiao Zhen was somewhat surprised, but seeing Lu Zheng's tightly pursed lips, she couldn't help but feel a little startled and nervous.

Lu Zheng didn't say anything, but turned on a computer and then plugged the USB drive into it.

The moment the USB drive was plugged in, the computer screen went black.

Immediately afterward, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but exclaim, "What's going on?"

Lu Zheng's expression turned even uglier: "The computer got a virus and crashed."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen's mind jolted, and she finally understood what Qiao Yun was planning.

On the other side, the network administrator discovered that the machine was broken and rushed over. After seeing that the machine was infected with a virus, he let out a wail.

"Oh my god, this computer is brand new, how come it's like this after only using it for one day!"

Listening to the network administrator's complaints, Lu Zheng frowned slightly, clearly still not recovered from what had just happened.

"This...you broke my computer, you can't just leave it like this, you definitely have to compensate me."

Seeing Lu Zheng remain silent, the internet cafe manager couldn't help but speak, finally fixing his gaze on Qiao Zhen.

"Miss, you must be his girlfriend, right? You see, this machine is quite expensive, and we're just a small business. It's only right that you compensate us for damaging it, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen quickly replied, "Of course, I will definitely accompany you if I am obliged. Don't worry, we won't run away."

Hearing this, the network administrator was slightly relieved.

Lu Zheng, who was standing next to him, suddenly stood up and randomly handed a card to the network administrator: "I'll cover the cost of all ten of your machines."

Upon hearing this, the network administrator almost thought he had misheard, and after pausing for two seconds, he repeated it.

"You... sir, what are you saying?"

"I'll pay you ten times the price," Lu Zheng repeated, his tone somewhat impatient.

Upon hearing this, the internet cafe manager immediately beamed with joy, his eyes narrowing into slits: "Alright, I'll schedule your appointment for this month right away."

After saying that, the network administrator happily walked away with the bank card.

On the other side, Lu Zheng seemed to have thought of something and suddenly called out to him: "By the way, keep today's matter a secret."

The network administrator was surprised that this man was not only a sucker but also so easy to talk to, and immediately agreed.

After the two finished dealing with their business, they left the internet cafe. Qiao Zhen was still a little nervous.
