Although everything seems calm on the surface, there are undercurrents within the Chen Group.
Chen Qizhao rarely went to the company because of his classes. He happened to have time to go to the company this Friday, but he saw that Chen Liyao, the bad boy from Uncle Chen's family, came to the company for an internship.
"So you compromised in the end? How do you have time to be a teacher to others?" Chen Qizhao sat in Chen Shiming's office, playing with the Rubik's Cube on his desk, and said casually: "It seems that there are not enough things to do."
"This was not my idea. The day before yesterday, my uncle brought someone to my office to look for Dad. He came to the door of the office to beg. Do you think Dad would ignore him?" Chen Shiming looked at Chen Qizhao and continued, "I found him a simple department to work in. I don't have time to take care of him. As long as he doesn't come to me to cause trouble, I will ignore him."
Chen Qizhao put down the Rubik's Cube after finishing it. "Today I'm in this department, and tomorrow I'll be in front of you and complain about my misery."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shiming glanced at Chen Qizhao. Other children knew how to show weakness in front of their elders to ask for candy, but his younger brother was very eloquent. Not to mention showing weakness, just knowing how to make people angry was a big improvement.
"Jiang Yuze is not here today. It's boring. I'm leaving."
Chen Shiming asked: "Do you have a lot of complaints about Special Assistant Jiang?"
"You still have to ask this?" Chen Qizhao said without hiding anything, "I've said it before, I don't like him."
Chen Shiming: "Chen Qizhao, judging people by their appearance is not advisable."
Seeing Chen Qizhao getting ready to go out, he asked again, "Where are you going? You don't have classes this afternoon, right?"
"Work, I'm also going out on field trips." Chen Qizhao's voice was isolated outside the door.
Chen Shiming asked Special Assistant Xu beside him, "What kind of field work does he have?"
"Maybe he went to Shen's." Special Assistant Xu replied: "Xiao Zhou has been going to Shen's frequently recently. I guess he has some things that he hasn't dealt with yet."
Shen family?
Chen Shiming lowered his head and continued to handle official business. He was not as diligent in going to Feihong as he was in going to Shen's. Does Chen Qizhao have such a good relationship with the Shen family?
After leaving Chen Shiming's office, Chen Qizhao asked Xiao Zhou and learned that Jiang Yuze had not returned yet. Sheng Ming was not quiet at all. Several senior executives had been making trouble recently. It would be strange if Jiang Yuze was free.
He asked Xiao Zhou to prepare the car and prepare to go to Shen's.
Some things have been arranged, but Feng Ruyi has to come here himself.
When he arrived at Shen's, it was just the afternoon working day. Xiao Zhou had already become familiar with the staff of Shen's. After he arrived, he said he wanted to see Director Feng, and the department manager immediately went to call him.
When Feng Ruyi arrived at the office, he saw Chen Qizhao sitting on the sofa and talking to their manager.
He glanced at Assistant Zhou, who had been visiting them frequently these days, and his scrutinizing gaze stopped at Chen Qizhao. Feng Ruyi had met Chen Qizhao before. He had heard of the little bully of the Chen family as early as when he was working for the Chen family.
Both Chen and his son were extremely capable. At that time, Chen Shiming had just worked at Chen for two years, but his skills and courage had already impressed many people. Feng Ruyi used to envy his colleagues who were assigned to work under Chen Shiming, but his abilities were limited. As a newcomer, he could only slowly familiarize himself with the business under the guidance of his teacher.
As I got to know my colleagues around me, I naturally heard the story of another prince of the Chen family.
Calling him the prince was actually just a joke from his colleagues. Chen Shiming's excellence was nothing more than a declaration of his identity as the future successor to the Chen Group. The underage bully of the Chen family was spoiled and willful. He skipped school, didn't return home at night... There were all kinds of rumors.
Seeing Chen Qizhao now, especially his still young face, Feng Ruyi thought that he was probably here for his matter. He had been very strict with Chen's project these past few days, and as the person in charge, this hot-tempered little bully couldn't help but cause trouble for him.
Sure enough, not long after he came in, the little bully asked everyone else to leave, and only the two of them were left in the office.
Chen Qizhao looked at Feng Ruyi in front of him. He was younger and more promising than in his previous life.
Feng Ruyi is quite capable since he was able to become the director of a group as big as Shen's after leaving Chen's. It’s a pity that in his previous life, he was busy with his mentor’s affairs, and the appeal process was not smooth, so he resigned.
Chen Qizhao looked at the man and asked, "Don't you want to sit down?"
"No." Feng Ruyi said, "I have other things to do later."
"If you don't know how to be tactful, you will suffer." Chen Qizhao laughed, "I heard that you were reviewing the Chen project. This matter was not originally under the responsibility of your department, but it was finally reviewed by you. I know you had a hand in it."
Feng Ruyi paused for a moment after hearing this: "Mr. Chen, if you have something to say, just say it directly."
"I have no objection to strict auditing. This is beneficial to both of us. However..." Chen Qizhao pushed a document to the other side of the table. "It would be bad if Director Feng abused his power for personal gain."
Chen Qizhao was a little different from what he had imagined, but that made sense, as he was able to hold the position of person in charge.
No matter how dissolute the other party is, he still has something to show for himself. Feng Ruyi lowered his eyes and looked at the document. "I shouldn't be the one to read the project book."
Chen Qizhao smiled and said, "Director Feng, please see if you are interested first."
Feng Ruyi didn't know what Chen Qizhao meant. He reached out and picked it up, but his face changed drastically when he opened the contents.
He looked at Chen Qizhao suddenly, and his hand holding the document was shaking a little.
Chen Qizhao still had that smile on his face and asked again, "Director Feng, can we sit down and talk now?"
Outside the office, Xiao Zhou and the manager stood at the door, completely unaware of what the two people inside were talking about.
"Mr. Zhou, how about we go to the next office for tea?" asked the manager.
Xiao Zhou said: "Thank you for your kindness. I will wait here for my boss to make arrangements."
When he saw his boss chatting with someone through the glass window, he was immediately filled with awe.
Director Feng is so old-fashioned that it’s always difficult to communicate with him. Being able to sit down and chat with this guy, the boss is worthy of being the boss.

Sheng Ming has not been peaceful these past few days. After the news of Chen's acquisition came out, the top executives had different opinions on the matter and a lot of effort was wasted in building relationships. Jiang Yuze was in an underground parking lot, throwing the documents on the passenger seat with a sinister look on his face. He didn't know where the news came from, and it was a mixture of true and false. It caused the person he had originally agreed to talk to to change his mind. In order to deal with this matter, he had to step in personally to explain and ease the situation, so as to avoid any mistakes in the plan.
But even so, the false news was outrageous.
Sheng Ming was originally a plan that they were not prepared for, but Chen Shiming's actions were too big, forcing General Lin to use this chess piece. According to the original plan, they would be able to arrange all the arrangements before Chen's acquisition of Shengming, but now influenced by various rumors, the people who were originally determined have been shaken, and the contract cannot be signed at the last minute.
Up to now, their plan has not been completed, and the conflict on Sheng Ming's side has been passed on to Chen Jianhong.
If this continues, the plan may not be successfully implemented.
"Who is behind this..." Since the end of last year, their plans have not been going smoothly, as if someone is pushing them from behind, but they can't figure out who this person is. Originally, he suspected the Chen family father and son the most. But if the other party found out about the problem, they would not have allowed him to continue his activities until now. But besides the Chen family, who else could be doing this behind the scenes... ?
At this time, the phone rang. Jiang Yuze collected his thoughts and answered the call, "Mr. Lin."
Lin Shizhong asked Jiang Yuze on the other end of the phone why he hadn't settled the matter yet.
Jiang Yuze explained again and again that the acquisition plan would definitely be launched next month.
"Why haven't you dealt with Chen Shiming's matter yet? Are you waiting for him to take charge of this project? Chen Shiming cannot be the person in charge of Shengming, do you know that?"
"I know, it's already been arranged..." Jiang Yuze confirmed, "I won't let Chen Shiming show up at the acquisition meeting."
"You'd better do it." Lin Shizhong hung up the phone.
After Jiang Yuze hung up the phone, his eyes lingered on the call records for a while.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the irritation and anger in his chest, and then made another call.
"Hello?" Jiang Yuze said, "Has the driver been arranged?"
"It's arranged. Let me know when you've confirmed the time. And the location..."
"It's arranged. Leave the rest to me." Jiang Yuze continued, "I'll install a positioning system in the other party's car. You guys can arrange the rest. Don't kill anyone. I'll send you the time and positioning information later."
"Don't worry, I will ask people to be careful."
In the office of Lin's company, Lin Shizhong exhaled a puff of cigar and looked at the person sitting on the sofa.
"Jiang Yuze's call?" The other party saw that he had finished the call. "He used to be quite efficient, but the acquisition has not been finalized. It is definitely not his level of ability to handle it. But you pushed him so hard, and he still listened to you and did it. Even if he was repaying a favor, he has never done this..."
"Yes, I sponsored him to finish high school and college, and I also personally sent him to the Chen Group, which helped him rise to his current position." Lin Shizhong laughed, his glasses reflecting slightly: "This favor is indeed great, but it's a pity that Jiang Yuze is not a dog who can only repay favors, he is a wolf."
"A dog is loyal. He will eat as much as his master gives him."
Lin Shizhong added: "But wolves are different. They are wild and will bare their fangs at you if you are not careful."
The person sitting on the sofa looked at him puzzledly.
Lin Shizhong didn't want to explain any further. Ever since he freed Jiang Yuze from that family, he knew what kind of character that child had. This person is like him, he will endure and wait for the opportunity, but at the same time he is also a vengeful person who wants to climb up. Compared to the position of assistant to the chairman of the Chen Group, Jiang Yuze's goal is never limited to this. People who lack a sense of security will not trust others. No matter how good the position and salary are, they will never be as good as the position of being high above and in control of everything.
Jiang Yuze is an ambitious person, and he will do whatever it takes to satisfy his ambitions.

The peaceful days seem like a storm is coming.
The weather at S University is just right and sunny. Chen Qizhao has a lot of classes these days, so he asked his counselor for leave from some of his classes. However, considering the attendance requirements and credits, he still had to attend the classes.
At noon, Shen Yuhuai asked him to have lunch. He had no classes in the afternoon. After lunch, he originally planned to go back to the dormitory to check emails... But Shen Yuhuai asked before going to the library, and Chen Qizhao changed the address for checking emails from the dormitory to the library. For this reason, he went back to the dormitory to get a tablet, and by the way... took a book on advanced mathematics to pretend.
There were still some seats in the library at noon, so Shen Yuhuai took him to where he usually sat. At a glance, he saw many chemical engineering students buried in reading literature. Chen Qizhao found an empty seat and sat down, then he saw Shen Yuhuai go to the front seat to look for a book.
There have been a lot of emails these days, so Chen Qizhao simply downloaded them all and put the necessary information together.
When Shen Yuhuai came back after finding the book, he saw Chen Qizhao fiddling with a tablet from a distance, flipping through a high-level math book next to him, and a draft book on the side. He walked over and sat quietly opposite Chen Qizhao.
When Chen Qizhao saw Shen Yuhuai coming, he crossed out the email page, opened the page of advanced math questions he had prepared in advance, and held a pen, pretending to think about the questions.
But Shen Yuhuai didn't say anything. He focused on the book and started reading.
Chen Qizhao observed the other party for a while, and seeing that Shen Yuhuai was reading seriously, he continued to do his own thing. After the last communication with Feng Ruyi, the other party was very cautious at first, thinking that Chen Qizhao was here to call him to task, and he avoided the topic for a long time. Later, Chen Qizhao had to take some effort to pry some words out of him. When Feng Ruyi left Chen's, he actually didn't take anything with him. When the project team encountered problems, he was at most a handyman in the team, so he was not affected by the accident, and therefore he did not obtain much information.
The information he has now actually comes from a scheduled email from his mentor.
Feng Ruyi's teacher was forced to take all the responsibilities after the project went wrong, but he had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong within the group before the project went wrong, so he left some records in advance. However, he did not expect that he would become a scapegoat later. Those records could not be regarded as solid evidence, and releasing them would be of no help, and might even be distorted by the other party into thinking that he had ill intentions.
So in the end these fell into Feng Ruyi's hands.
Feng Ruyi had investigated the Chen family many times over the years. Thanks to those records, he was able to accurately identify some of the relevant people. After several years of investigation, he finally set his sights on Jiang Yuze. But Feng Ruyi is just an ordinary person after all, and the information he found out is limited. But this information is of great use in Chen Qizhao's hands. He can investigate things that Feng Ruyi cannot investigate, and Chen Qizhao can touch the Chen family that Feng Ruyi cannot touch.
Chen Qizhao promised Feng Ruyi that he would try his best to make the truth about the project public, so as to get a backup of the record from the other party. He then asked Special Assistant Xu and Xiao Zhou to retrieve Chen's internal information. The excuse he used was also very reasonable. Feihong was recently carrying out technical cooperation and wanted to transfer technicians and other information from the database in accordance with the regulations. Within two days, the information was sent to his mailbox.
Time is limited. Before the time is right, I don’t know how much I can find out through the clues from Feng Ruyi.
But this did not affect his plan, because he asked the people who visited him to bring back good news.
As Chen Qizhao was thinking, he looked up and saw Shen Yuhuai writing notes.
His eyes involuntarily stopped at the constantly moving tip of the pen, and looking up, the joints holding the pen were more clearly visible.
At this time, Shen Yuhuai looked up and asked silently.
Chen Qizhao paused for a moment, leaned closer, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yuhuai turned over the notebook he brought with him to show him. He had reached the last page and had run out of paper in his notebook. He then pointed at the draft book that Chen Qizhao was holding and asked, "Can I tear off two sheets of manuscript paper?"
Chen Qizhao reacted and simply handed the draft to Shen Yuhuai, letting the other party tear it up at will.
Just as he handed it over, he suddenly saw a message pop up on the tablet and his attention returned.
Shen Yuhuai took the draft book. This draft book was very new and only had a few pages written in total. It seemed that Chen Qizhao was calculating advanced mathematics. Some traces of function deduction can be seen above. The boy's pen is very sharp and the writing process is smooth and neat, it doesn't seem like he is not good at function formulas.
He raised his eyes slightly and saw that the other party was still fiddling with the tablet. From this distance, he couldn't see the content on the tablet, but he could vaguely see some words.
But this is not the point. The point is that the page of the advanced mathematics book has been stopped for fifteen minutes.
Chen Qizhao didn't turn the page.
Shen Yuhuai did not expose it. He was about to turn to the back page and tear off two pages when his eyes suddenly stopped.
He saw his own name among the messy traces of calculations on the draft book.
When Chen Qizhao finished reading the message, Shen Yuhuai had already handed the draft back. After taking it, he turned a page of the advanced mathematics book and pretended to write two questions... and observed Shen Yuhuai at the same time.
When observing Shen Yuhuai, I always feel that I see something different on this person's face every time.
In his previous life, Shen Yuhuai had also asked him to go to the library, but the nature of his work was destined to be incompatible with the library.
When Shen Yuhuai was reading, he often went back and forth in and out of the library because of work calls. Later, Shen Yuhuai understood, and the place where they agreed to meet became a cafe.
The number of times I went to the library with Shen Yuhuai was limited, let alone when he was still a student.
Chen Qizhao thought casually that according to the current development, Shen Yuhuai would be like in his previous life, studying for a doctorate after graduation and finally working in the Ninth Institute. Others have to be over 30 years old to complete their doctoral studies, but Shen Yu went to university early. After graduation, he had a bright future and became a pillar of the country. This man had a smooth life for most of his life, but eventually died in a laboratory accident.
The word "accident" itself carries the connotation of uncertainty.
Chen Qizhao remembered the day when Shen Yuhuai died. If that day really came in this life, he would definitely find a way to make Shen Yuhuai avoid that time point.
The words on Shen Yuhuai's notebook repeated a line unconsciously, his writing slowed down, and the knowledge that he had memorized halfway in his mind suddenly lost the second half. The moment he raised his eyes inadvertently, he saw that the person opposite him had not moved his hands for a long time. He was holding the pen loosely and did not touch the tablet that he was very interested in.
Having been in the S University Library for so long, Shen Yuhuai had been able to ignore the gazes of those around him who were observing or watching him.
But now it was a different person, and for the first time, he felt absent-minded.
Without looking at Chen Qizhao, he knew what the other person's expression would be at this moment, just like the unrestrained gaze of the boy on the other side of the video in the dim environment that night. Shen Yuhuai could recall Chen Qizhao’s face, and his mind could piece together the other person’s expression and movements at this moment.
Shen Yuhuai stopped writing, but at this moment, Chen Qizhao's phone lit up, and a call without any notes appeared on the phone screen. Shen Yuhuai raised his eyes and noticed that the other party's hand had just been put down, and his leisurely and lazy posture adjusted, like a lazy cat that had reacted, and adjusted his posture in an instant.
He looked at Chen Qizhao's phone and saw a string of numbers, which looked like an unfamiliar call.
Shen Yuhuai thought Chen Qizhao would hang up the strange call, but saw that the other party's expression tightened in an instant.
Chen Qizhao suddenly picked up the phone, nodded to Shen Yuhuai, and pointed at the phone to indicate that he would answer the call.
Chen Yuhuai nodded, pointed to the place next to him, and said silently: "Over there." '
Chen Qizhao reacted immediately and walked towards the location pointed by Shen Yuhuai. He came out of the quiet library area, went to the library's secure staircase, closed the door, and then called again.
Almost immediately after I dialed the number, the other party answered the call.
"Boss, you finally answered the phone." The person who spoke sounded a little anxious, as if he was on the side of the road, and the background noise was a little noisy.
Chen Qizhao asked: "What's the matter?"
"Didn't you ask me to follow the maintenance technicians in the parking lot last time?" The person on the phone said, "We finally got some results today. Among the people you asked us to follow, there is a technician named Liu. He was supposed to be at work today, but he asked his manager for leave and took the subway directly to a restaurant in the city to meet someone."
Chen Qizhao's face suddenly turned stern. "Who are you contacting?"
"I don't know. He looked like a gangster." The person on the phone continued, "I followed him into the restaurant and saw the gangster handing something to Master Liu. The two of them didn't even eat. After handing over the things, he left. I took a photo of the man and sent it to the same email address as before."
Chen Qizhao asked again: "What about the one with the surname Liu?"
"After handing over his belongings, Master Liu took the subway back and went back to work at the parking lot."
"Keep keeping an eye on Liu, and find someone to go after the thug who's in contact with him."
Chen Qizhao's hand holding the phone had several veins popping out. He controlled his tone and said, "Don't lose it."
"Don't worry, boss. We are experts in this."
The person on the phone hung up after speaking, but Chen Qizhao stood in the safety passage and held his own hands tightly in the quiet environment. Before investigating this matter, he had imagined that it might be an accident, but even so he was unwilling to miss any clues, even though the time now was several years earlier than the car accident in his previous life.
Chen Qizhao's face showed a bit of sternness, but after a while his tense body relaxed. He stared at the closed door of the emergency staircase, and seemed to see Lin Shizhong's sanctimonious appearance on the door. He laughed, and his tone was cold and stern: "Lin Shizhong, you are so brave..."
In the library, when Shen Yuhuai looked at his watch again, he noticed that fifteen minutes had passed, but Chen Qizhao had not returned from answering the phone.
He was just wondering when he noticed Chen Qizhao coming out from the safe passage. He seemed to have determined the location and saw Chen Qizhao here, so he walked over hurriedly with a slightly serious look.
Chen Qizhao whispered in Shen Yuhuai's ear: "I have something to go out for."
Shen Yuhuai lowered his voice and asked doubtfully, "Are you anxious?"
Chen Qizhao had no choice but to explain: "I have to leave school for a while."
He then went over to pack up the things on the table and put them in his schoolbag, but just as he looked up, he suddenly saw Shen Yuhuai closing the book and putting the notebook into his bag.
Chen Qizhao was stunned for a moment.
Shen Yuhuai also cleaned up the table, stood up, and glanced at Chen Qizhao slightly.
He walked over to Chen Qizhao and said, "I'll take you there."
