Chapter 85 You're welcome to try.

Zhang Pengfei did not intentionally eavesdrop or watch. This was just an almost instinctive, context-based "pattern recognition" ability that he developed after being passively immersed in an environment of core business secrets.

But Director Wang doesn't think that way!

Zhang Pengfei was eavesdropping on and secretly reading the company's trade secrets!

Although this action brought huge profits to the company!

"I'm sorry, Director Wang, I only saw it by accident, I didn't mean to see it..."

"Bang!" Director Wang slammed his hand on the table. "You dare to try and deny it again! You really make me proud. The senior lawyers in the legal department, who have been practicing for over twenty years, didn't notice it even after examining the case for more than an hour, but you just glanced at it and figured it out. How can you be so amazing!"

In fact, omissions in the initial review of contracts are not uncommon. According to CLOC statistics, even top law firms have a 5-15% loophole rate in key clauses during the initial review of contracts.

Attorney Wang's years of experience are indeed much longer than Zhang Pengfei's, but he mainly only participates in the legal process and generally only focuses on legal risks, such as IP ownership. He is not very sensitive to the value of data assets and usually only regards them as legal objects.

Furthermore, the draft contract is nearly 200 pages long and has been revised in more than 60 places. Lawyers need to identify the core risks within an hour, which inevitably leads to the omission of some seemingly unimportant clauses.

But Zhang Pengfei couldn't say any of these facts!

He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, lowered his head, and decided to remain silent.

He had considered this issue before it even happened, but now that it has occurred by some twist of fate, he can only accept it!

At this point, saying anything is useless; the more you say, the more mistakes you'll make. Director Wang is determined to make an example of him!

Director Wang lectured Zhang Pengfei for over an hour, spewing all sorts of sarcastic remarks. If he could have physically assaulted him, he probably would have pinned him to the ground and given him a good beating!

By the end of the reprimand, Zhang Pengfei was actually quite impressed with him. Who said Director Wang's diploma was bought with money?! With such a rich vocabulary, he could berate someone for over an hour without repeating himself. You're telling me he never went to university?!

Reprimanding people is also hard work. When Director Wang drank water for the third time, his chest heaved up and down, as if he was finally tired. He then said, "You don't even have the most basic professional ethics!"

Then, the official decision on how to handle the matter was announced: "Starting today, you are no longer in charge of the top-floor conference room. Go and switch places with Wang Guibin; you will take over his work!"

Zhang Pengfei frowned slightly, incredulous.

Wang Guibin is no ordinary intern; everyone in the administration department knows he's Director Wang's nephew!

Once someone joins, they are cultivated according to a key training model. Although the tasks they are responsible for seem complicated, they actually have a lot of power. They have only been here for a few days, and they have already started to be in charge of some major purchases in the administration department!

He decides everything: what to buy—flowers and plants, office supplies, wine for entertaining guests, from whom to buy, how much to buy, the price, and how to pay.

Compared to spending all my time in the top-floor conference room arranging cleaning, serving tea and water, this job is much better!

But as it turns out, disbelief was justified!

Zhang Pengfei soon discovered that the procurement management had nothing to do with him; he was only responsible for running errands!

When the plants needed replacing, he was responsible for moving them to the designated location. After all the office supplies were purchased, he was responsible for categorizing them and placing them on the warehouse shelves, and making a receipt record.

In addition, he is in charge of everything, including broken printers, clogged toilets, lost packages, and employee vehicles parked haphazardly!

Soon, leaving get off work on time became a luxury. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Director Wang would always assign him tasks that had to be completed that day near the end of the workday, such as taking clients back to their hotels after they finished dinner.

He had no choice but to take Huahua home first and then rush back to the company. As a result, on several occasions, the clients were still drinking and chatting even at 10 p.m.

Hua Hua wanted to sleep, but was scared to be alone in the house. She cried and begged him to come back. His heart ached, but he could only comfort his sister over the phone. In the end, Hua Hua cried herself to sleep, without even taking off her shoes.

Coincidentally, Chen Jingyang was away on a business trip these days and knew nothing about Zhang Pengfei's ordeal.

In fact, Zhang Pengfei had considered "complaining" to Chen Jingyang. He had even typed out the words, but then deleted them one by one. Chen Jingyang was so busy, so it was better not to cause him any trouble. If he angered Director Wang, his life would become even more difficult.

As long as he continues to explore the intelligence, problems of one kind or another will keep arising. Does he expect Chen Jingyang to clean up his messes every time?

Most importantly, if Chen Jingyang really cared about him, he should have let him go instead of forcibly keeping him at Tanzhi!

Finally, the weekend arrived, and Zhang Pengfei decided to take a good rest, putting his phone on silent during his lunch break.

Unexpectedly, Director Wang called him again, three times in a row, but unfortunately, his phone was on silent and he didn't answer.

When he saw the missed call and tried to call Director Wang back, Director Wang hung up on him immediately!

Zhang Pengfei didn't think much of it. If Director Wang needed his help, he would naturally call him again. However, Director Wang didn't call him until evening.

Since they didn't call again, it must be that the matter was resolved and there was no need to notify him anymore. So Zhang Pengfei thought the matter was over and went about his business as usual on Monday.

"Zhang Pengfei." Manager Gao from the finance department waved to him. "I have a package today, it's showing as being delivered. This document is very urgent and needs to be stamped and returned by the finance department today."

He paused for a moment, then said, "When the courier comes to deliver the package, could you please tell him to wait a moment while you take this document upstairs, get it stamped, and then bring it back to him? Is that alright?"

"Yes, Mr. Gao."

About half an hour later, the courier arrived. Zhang Pengfei found Mr. Gao's package and was about to deliver it when Director Wang suddenly called: "Come to my office right away!"

"king......"

After uttering just one word, Director Wang hung up the phone!

There are priorities, and the courier was standing there waiting to pick up the package. Zhang Pengfei figured he could come back to him after getting the stamp.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Director Wang standing at the front desk looking at him angrily!

"Zhang Pengfei, what did I just tell you?"

"Director Wang, it's like this, Mr. Gao has a package..."

"General Manager Gao?" Director Wang sneered, "You're ignoring your own boss's orders and running off to curry favor with the higher-ups in the finance department. You're truly something else! In that case, go to HR and resign. See whichever department wants you, that's where you'll go!"

Zhang Pengfei was taken aback: "You're going to fire me?"

Director Wang grinned maliciously: "What? It won't work?"

Zhang Pengfei scoffed, lowered his eyelids and chuckled, looking up at him with disdain, and said indifferently, "You're welcome to try."
