Words spoken are like spilled water, they can never be taken back.

Du Yuanzhe still has to work like an old ox pulling a millstone, if he can't be beaten to death, then beat him to death.

But he did not forget to question Liu Xu.

Who knew Liu Xu was even more surprised than him: "President Xia would change the promotion time for you?"

That’s Xia Ningmi!

Not only does he come to work earlier than his employees, he also leaves work several hours later than their employees. This is a boss who works overtime even harder than his employees.

Everyone in the Xia Group knew that Xia Ningmi was cold-blooded and ruthless, and that such a person would not have the words "abuse public power for personal gain" in his dictionary.

When Xia Ningmi first took charge of Xia Corporation, many senior executives did not obey her. However, Xia Ningmi replaced half of the senior executives in just three days. At the same time, she promoted capable people from below and immediately had her own group of confidants. No one knew what specific methods she used, and no one knew when she got to know those Xia Corporation employees.

All people knew was that a director went to Xia Ningmi to intercede for his nephew, but his nephew was not saved, and Xia Ningmi also used some trickery to buy his shares.

Xia Ning used facts to tell everyone one thing - if you make a mistake, you should admit your punishment, and asking for mercy will only double the punishment.

Would such a person abuse his power for personal gain?

Liu Xu didn't dare to think about it at all.

Du Yuanzhe looked at his shocked expression and was somewhat speechless: "It's just possible to change the promotion time. Your expression makes me lose face."

Isn't this the basic treatment for a boyfriend?

Xiao Pang whispered, "This is also not in line with Mr. Xia's personality."

Du Yuanzhe glanced at him and said, "Given the relationship between us, isn't it normal for you to be a little special to me?"

Liu Xu heard this and said with a complicated look, "Once, President Xia's mother came to the company to look for her, and the front desk called the secretary's office. Guess what the secretary's office replied to the front desk?"

Du Yuanzhe didn't want to guess.

Xiaopang was very cooperative and asked, "What did you reply?"

Liu Xu said: "The secretary asked President Xia's mother to make an appointment first, and President Xia will meet her when he is free. President Xia's reputation of being cold and ruthless and impartial comes from this."

Xiaopang was shocked: "Good fellow."

Du Yuanzhe frowned: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand the inside story."

Xiaopang looked at him and said, "Brother Zhe, what's going on?"

Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "This is her family matter. I have no right to say more. Anyway, don't mention it again."

Liu Xu said: "No matter what, President Xia is willing to be partial to you, which shows that he cares about this relationship. You must treat President Xia well."

Xiaopang nodded frantically.

Du Yuanzhe laughed: "First of all, this is not called partiality. Secondly, Brother Liu, why do you sound so like a family member?"

Liu Xu said: "It's not just me, maybe the entire Qianying Entertainment is my mother's family, you have to be prepared."

Du Yuanzhe said: "If that's the case, then I'm very happy."

He didn't want to be the only one who cared about Xia Ningmi, she deserved more people's care.

"Teacher Du, it's your turn."

Du Yuanzhe's good mood disappeared without a trace after hearing this. He said resentfully, "Brother Liu, I hate you," and walked away to film.

Liu Xu was embarrassed. No matter what, he had indeed tricked Du Yuanzhe.

......

A few days later, at 6 p.m.

Du Yuanzhe finished work early and asked Wu Xing to drive him to the Du Group. He and Du Yuanwen were going to attend Mr. Jiang's birthday banquet today.

Du Group

Du Yuanzhe walked into the lobby of the group. The front desk staff all knew this Second Young Master and said, "Hello, Second Young Master. Mr. Du said that when you come, you can go upstairs to see him directly."

Du Yuanzhe nodded and walked into the elevator.

After he left, the receptionist muttered, "The second young master looks even more handsome."

"I think so too. He is still the same person, but he looks much more handsome."

"Hahaha, this could also be the filter behind our obsession with looks."

Du Yuanzhe came to the company only a few times, but almost all the employees knew him. After all, everyone knew that the second young master was a star in the entertainment industry, and his photos were available on the Internet, so it was hard not to know him.

Du Yuanzhe pushed open the door of the general manager's office and walked in. Du Yuanwen was still working.

He walked over and sat across from Du Yuanwen, looking up at the office's decoration, and said playfully: "Brother, your office is just average, when are you going to move in?"

Above is the top floor, which is also where the president’s office is located.

Du Yuanwen said without even looking up, "You urged me to usurp the throne right after you arrived. Does our father know that you are so filial?"

Du Yuanzhe didn't mind: "I am also thinking about my father, so that he can rest assured and take care of himself at home. My eldest brother is young and promising, so he is just right to lead the group to move forward vigorously."

Du Yuanwen paused, looked at him and asked, "What are you planning now?"

Du Yuanzhe said aggrievedly: "You are wrongly accusing me. I just want you to take the position."

"And then?"

"Then you work hard to make money and give me more dividends at the end of the year, and strive to increase profits by 50 percentage points every year."

"Fifty points?"

Du Yuanwen was surprised at his wild idea: "Is this position for you? You are so bold to say so."

Du Yuanzhe shrugged: "There is a good saying - the braver the people are, the more productive the land will be."

"Then do you remember that this sentence is about the subordinates cheating? If you want this kind of false benefits, I can satisfy you."

Du Yuanwen closed the folder and said unhappily, "Don't be mean to me. Come on, come with me... Wait, you're going to wear this?"

Du Yuanzhe came over right after the show, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and long pants.

Du Yuanzhe said, "What's wrong with that? I'm not a business elite like you who has to wear a suit and tie."

Du Yuanwen was helpless, so he dialed the internal phone on the table and ordered, "Prepare a casual suit for the second young master and have someone send it over immediately."

"Yes, General Manager."

Du Yuanzhe curled his lips: "It's such a hassle."

Du Yuanwen glared at him: "Are you so casual when you attend an awards ceremony?"

Du Yuanzhe shut up immediately.

The assistant prepared a blue casual suit for Du Yuanzhe. After changing his clothes, the two of them left Du's house and headed for the Jiang family's old residence.

Unlike the Du family's old house, the Jiang family's old house is a single-family courtyard villa, covering a large area, with mountains and water inside, and is built with great artistic conception.

After showing the invitation, the barrier in front was opened to allow passage. Seeing this scene, Du Yuanzhe didn't understand the plot in some novels where people accidentally broke into high-end cocktail parties. Didn't surveillance and doormen exist?

The car drove all the way in and stopped in front of the villa.

The Du Yuanzhe brothers got out of the car and walked into the banquet hall together. There were already many people in the hall, and everyone was holding a red wine glass and talking to others.

When they saw Du Yuanzhe and his companions coming, several people came over immediately. These were people who had cooperated with the Du family or had a good relationship with them. They were all Du Yuanzhe's uncles.

"Boss Xiao Du, this is the Second Young Master, right?"

Du Yuanwen nodded: "He is a member of the Du family after all. I brought him here today to broaden his horizons."

After that, Du Yuanwen introduced these people to Du Yuanzhe. Du Yuanzhe greeted them one by one with a polite smile on his face, but in his heart he was impatient with this kind of socializing.

Just at this moment, Lu Xuan waved to him: "Yuanzhe, come over here."

Du Yuanzhe's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother, I won't disturb you and the uncles from talking about business. I'm going to look for Lu Xuan."

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

Du Yuanwen said helplessly: "You are so old, but you still love to play."

Others complimented him, "The Second Young Master can be so relaxed, thanks to having such a capable brother like Mr. Xiao Du."

The other side

Du Yuanzhe walked over to Lu Xuan and sat down, saying, "You have a keen eye."

Lu Xuan handed him a glass of wine and said, "Hey, I just accompanied my dad to meet a group of people, and I felt exhausted. I guess you are the same as me."

Lu Xuan motioned him to look into the hall and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Du Yuanzhe looked at it carefully and asked in confusion: "What?"

Lu Xuan said, "There are not many young people attending the birthday banquet. Some of them are heirs of various companies. As for you and me, we withdrew from the succession competition early. Only the two of us came."

Du Yuanzhe was not surprised: "This was originally a small business cooperation exchange meeting held in the name of a birthday banquet. Only those who want to make connections or need cooperation will come."

"So, why are you here?"

A voice sounded from behind.

Du Yuanzhe was startled and turned around to see that it was He Chen. Standing next to him was a pretty woman. This guy is never short of female companions.

"Has Mr. He been learning to dance recently? Why is he walking so quietly?"

He Chen sat on the sofa next to them and snorted, "I don't want to argue with you, Second Young Master Du. Today is Grandpa Jiang's birthday. Don't make trouble."

Du Yuanzhe leaned against the sofa and said, "Mr. He, please put away your mean thoughts. I am such a respectful person, how could I possibly mess up an old man's birthday party? Could it be that Mr. He has such bad intentions?"

Lu Xuan held back his laughter.

He Chen didn't respond: "It would be best if you can find interest."

After saying that, He Chen stood up and left. He didn't want to stay with Du Yuanzhe.

Du Yuanzhe touched his chin and said, "He Chen must have been practicing Qigong recently, so he can be so calm."

Lu Xuan laughed and said, "Maybe he's afraid of you. At first, he was scolded by his father and his pocket money was deducted for a month."

For these people, pocket money is an important source of money.

Although He Chen has joined the company to help, he is only a team leader in charge of chores. His monthly salary is not enough for him to have a meal, let alone buy a bag for his female companion.

Deducting his pocket money will definitely make him feel bad and make him behave himself for a while.

"Fuck, Jiang Chelin is so brave!"

Lu Xuan suddenly exclaimed.

Du Yuanzhe followed his gaze and his pupils shrank. Jiang Chelin actually brought Wei Lingling with him. This did not happen in the novel. This was the first time that the relationship between the male and female protagonists changed drastically. The plot was indeed messed up.

Du Yuanzhe stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

Lu Xuan stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

His intuition told him that it would be exciting to follow Du Yuanzhe.

The two of them walked up to Jiang Chelin and Wei Lingling together.

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Lingling, have you finished filming the new play?"

When Wei Lingling saw Du Yuanzhe, her originally cold expression disappeared and she said, "We just finished filming a few days ago. Is your scene almost finished as well?"

"It will be finished by the beginning of next month at the latest."

Wei Lingling said gently, "You've become a model worker recently, filming two movies in a row."

Du Yuanzhe said: "It's my luck that I can take this role. You know I'm here to save the day."

"No matter what, this is also a responsible role. If you play it well, it will be very helpful to you."

"I think so too. You must help me promote the drama when it airs."

Seeing Du Yuanzhe and Wei Lingling chatting, Lu Xuan's eyes were full of admiration. It was as if Jiang Chelin didn't exist.

Jiang Chelin's face was dark. Seeing that the two had no intention of stopping, he interrupted and said, "Lingling, when Grandpa comes out later, you can accompany me to celebrate the birthday."

Wei Lingling's face turned cold: "I only promised you to attend the birthday banquet, but I didn't promise you to celebrate your grandfather's birthday."

Jiang Chelin frowned: "You are my girlfriend, how can you not wish Grandpa a happy birthday when you come to the birthday banquet?"

Wei Lingling sneered: "Do you think your grandfather wants to see me? Is he willing to acknowledge me as your girlfriend?"

Jiang Chelin's face darkened.

Du Yuanzhe took the opportunity to interrupt and said, "Jiang Chelin, what's wrong with you! You let Lingling come without even convincing your grandfather. Do you want her to be humiliated by your grandfather?"

Jiang Chelin was already dissatisfied with Du Yuanzhe, and now he was even more angry when he saw him making trouble. He said in a cold voice: "Du Yuanzhe, stop talking nonsense. My grandfather is well-educated and would never humiliate a young man."

Du Yuanzhe sneered: "Yes, Mr. Jiang has been well-educated, but have you forgotten that there is a woman living in your house who calls herself the granddaughter-in-law of the Jiang family? Have you forgotten what she did to Lingling?"

Wei Lingling obviously didn't know that Wang Lianxuan lived in the Jiang family's old house. She looked at Jiang Chelin in surprise: "Wang Lianxuan lives in your house?"

Jiang Chelin's heart skipped a beat, and he said hurriedly, "I wanted to tell you about this before, but I forgot about it when I got busy."

Wei Lingling smiled bitterly: "I don't want to talk about what Wang Lianxuan did in the past. You said she was kind to your grandfather, so I won't care about it anymore. But she is here, why did you let me come? Jiang Chelin, what do you think of me?"

Jiang Chelin became increasingly panicked and explained, "Lingling, it was Grandpa's idea for Wang Linxuan to live in the old house. This old house belongs to Grandpa. He wanted Wang Linxuan to live there and I couldn't stop him. You know I moved out a long time ago."

Du Yuanzhe interrupted again, "Wang Linxuan lives in the old house. Anyone with a discerning eye knows what Mr. Jiang meant. You should have dealt with Wang Linxuan first and then brought Lingling back. You're putting her on the spot by letting her come now. Those who don't know the situation may say something. If it gets posted online, how will Lingling face the random speculations of netizens? What will happen to her career, which is on the rise? Jiang Chelin, have you ever thought about these issues?"

Wei Lingling felt even more upset when she heard these words. She didn't believe that Jiang Chelin couldn't think of something that even Du Yuanzhe could think of. But he still brought her here, and even forced her to come with conditions. He was confident that he could handle this matter, but he didn't think about the public pressure that Wei Lingling would suffer at all.

Does he really think that no one in Yancheng dares to mess with Jiang and that everyone is afraid of him?

No matter how rich he is, how many people can he shut up?

The more Wei Lingling thought about it, the colder she felt. She said in a cold voice, "President Jiang, I'm just a little star. This is not the place for me. I'm leaving now."

Jiang Chelin held her back and said, "Lingling, Grandpa will be out soon, you should wish him a happy birthday first."

Wei Lingling shook off his hand: "General Jiang, I am not qualified to meet a distinguished person like Mr. Jiang, please don't embarrass me."

Du Yuanzhe immediately said, "Lingling, this place is far from the city, and it's not easy to get a taxi. I'll have someone take you away."

After that, he looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Lu Xuan, you are responsible for sending Miss Wei home safely."

"I?"

Lu Xuan was surprised, he was planning to watch the show.

"It's you, go!"

Lu Xuan had no choice but to say, "Miss Wei, I'll take you home."

Wei Lingling forced a smile: "Thank you, Lu Shao. Yuanzhe, I'm leaving first. Thank you very much for today."

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "You're welcome. We are friends."

This is Wang Lianxuan's territory. If Wei Lingling really stays here, who knows what will happen. He can't always keep an eye on her. Letting her leave is the best way to get rid of it once and for all. If Wang Lianxuan wants to do something bad again, she won't be able to stop him if she can't find anyone.

He inexplicably felt that the reason why the scenes in his dream appeared could be found in Wang Lianxuan and the Luck Plundering System. Since it was related to Xia Ningmi, he dared not be careless at all.

"Du Yuanzhe!"

Jiang Chelin roared in a low voice.

If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Jiang would be coming out soon and he would be needed to entertain the guests at the birthday banquet, he would never let Lu Xuan take Wei Lingling away so easily.

Du Yuanzhe said calmly: "Jiang Chelin, you can't have failed to think of what I just said. You are confident that you can solve it, but in fact, things are far from that easy. You should curb your arrogance!"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Jiang Chelin standing there alone, with his head lowered, looking a little pitiful.

Du Yuanzhe only had two words for this.

You deserve it!
