Chapter 89 Dreams Come True

Chen Qinian gently stroked his chin and said to Wang Hu in a deep voice, "Don't make any rash moves. Let's keep quiet for a while first!"

Every cloud has a silver lining. Although he was slapped, Zhang Pengfei not only received a cash reward of 100,000 yuan, but also took the opportunity to be transferred to the legal department, so it can be considered that the gains outweighed the losses.

Moreover, as rumors spread that "Chen Jingyang beat up the director in a fit of rage for him," everyone, from senior executives to cleaning ladies, treated him with utmost respect. Zhang Pengfei even received the same treatment as Wang Guibin in the administration department, despite being in the legal department.

Attorney Zhou not only personally mentored him, but also got him directly into Zenti's project team!

You should know that the Zenti project is currently the company's most important project. Once completed, the bonus will be very substantial. Several long-term employees who have worked at the company for two or three years have not been able to get in!

Zhang Pengfei felt that he was not qualified enough to join the company so soon, but Attorney Zhou comforted him: "What's inappropriate about it? Everyone has an equal opportunity. If they can also find that loophole and have lunch with President Chen, I will immediately submit an application to add them to the company!"

Zhang Pengfei was actually very happy that he could finally put his skills to use. Although it was not the criminal defense he had always wanted, commercial non-litigation was his top choice.

He used to feel that the cases in books weren't vivid enough, but now he can actually get in touch with real, ongoing projects. For a top student like him, this is more satisfying than the 100,000 yuan.

In addition, there was something else that Zhang Pengfei hadn't expected—he actually got to sit at the same table with Chen Jingyang for a meeting!

God knows what he felt every time he went in to serve tea and water to the executives, glancing at Chen Jingyang's serious and focused face out of the corner of his eye, watching him strategize and listen to him speak eloquently!

How he longed to one day be able to sit on equal footing with Chen Jingyang, discuss projects, be watched by him, be listened to by him, be praised by him, and be admired by him!

He desperately wanted to prove to Chen Jingyang that he, Zhang Pengfei, was no worse than anyone else, not even as bad as Chen Jingyang. He could be a decent human being, not a dog that Chen Jingyang could pin down!

I never imagined that this day, which I had been longing for day and night, would arrive so quietly and suddenly!

As soon as he arrived at work in the morning, Attorney Zhou suddenly informed him: "Pengfei, get ready, we're going to the weekly meeting at 9:30 in conference room 001 on the top floor."

The project in collaboration with Zenti has officially started. To facilitate progress reporting and problem-solving among the various teams, a regular weekly meeting will be held every Monday at 9:30 a.m. starting last week. Zhang Pengfei knew about this, but he didn't expect that Attorney Zhou would invite him to attend as well.

With a "ding," the elevator doors opened, and Zhang Pengfei followed Lawyer Zhou into conference room 001.

This was the first time he had appeared on the top floor since he was beaten, returning to the place where he used to work every day, and this time as a participant. Zhang Pengfei was filled with emotion.

"Pengfei!"

"Pengfei!"

Zhao Tianming and Jin Zhenzhen greeted him almost simultaneously, their surprise and delight evident.

Zhao Tianming stepped forward and patted Zhang Pengfei on the shoulder, laughing, "How did you manage to come up here, kid?"

Zhang Pengfei showed off his laptop, looking smug: "Brother, come up here for a meeting!"

"Damn!" Zhao Tianming laughed and cursed, "Don't forget me when you become rich and powerful! Don't forget your brother when you make it big!"

"Stop teasing me!" Zhang Pengfei felt a strong sense of warmth upon seeing his former "comrade-in-arms" again.

With some time before the meeting started, he chatted a bit more: "Where's Wang Guibin? Didn't we switch jobs and he's now in charge of the top-floor conference room with you?"

Zhao Tianming frowned suddenly, looking quite surprised. He stepped closer and whispered, "Don't you know? President Chen only glanced at him and said he looked shifty-eyed, like he was going to leak secrets, and that his presence at the door was affecting the mood, so he fired him!"

Zhang Pengfei stared in disbelief, his mouth agape. He leaned closer and whispered, "Fired him? He fired him after just one glance? Is it that casual? Didn't he know Wang Guibin was Director Wang's nephew?"

"Hey!" Zhao Tianming chuckled, leaning closer and whispering, "Director Wang himself was beaten to a pulp by President Chen, let alone his nephew? His son isn't any better!"

Zhang Pengfei never liked gossiping about others. In the administration department, he had to listen even if he didn't want to. After joining the legal department, he completely ignored what was going on outside, so he knew nothing about Wang Guibin's affairs.

But Director Wang doesn't think so.

This laid the groundwork for Director Wang's later outrageous actions.

At this moment, neither Zhang Pengfei nor Chen Jingyang sensed any danger.

Zhang Pengfei, still very curious, asked Zhao Tianming, "Then...didn't Director Wang do anything?"

Zhao Tianming himself comes from a journalism background and is particularly sensitive to news. No gossip can escape his notice. If you want to know anything, just ask him!

"What can he do?" Zhao Tianming's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I heard he's barely holding on himself! Even President Chen isn't answering his calls anymore!"

People usually call Chen Jingyang "General Manager Chen," but to distinguish them, they privately call Chen Qinian "Big General Manager Chen."

Zhao Tianming cleared his throat, glanced around to make sure no one was watching, and said mysteriously, "Didn't Director Wang take two weeks off? But on the afternoon Wang Guibin was fired, someone saw him go to General Manager Chen's office. Although he was wearing a mask, his face..."

Zhao Tianming clicked his tongue a few times: "He was covered in bruises, and couldn't be hidden at all. Then, after saying only a few words, he was scolded by Boss Chen."

This was somewhat unexpected for Zhang Pengfei. As far as he knew, Chen Qinian was largely responsible for why Director Wang dared to act so arrogantly in the company.

Zhao Tianming, with a smug look on his face, exclaimed, "Thanks to you, Pengfei! That slap you took was totally worth it! Director Wang is keeping a low profile now, and he's even been much more polite to me and Jin Zhenzhen. You've saved the entire administration department!"

Zhang Pengfei chuckled: "It's not that exaggerated!"

"What are you two whispering about over there?!"

Zhang Pengfei was startled and stood up abruptly. He turned around and saw Chen Jingyang standing behind him.

This guy walks without making a sound!

"Hello, Mr. Chen!" Zhao Tianming was also startled and hurriedly greeted him after standing up straight.

Chen Jingyang hummed in agreement, looked at Zhang Pengfei, and smiled mischievously but warmly: "What? Scared stiff?"

I wouldn't say I was terrified, but I was definitely shocked!

Is Chen Jingyang also attending this week's meeting?!

Does that mean he'll be sitting down for a meeting with Chen Jingyang today?!

His dream had suddenly come true, and he was somewhat at a loss.
