Song Shiyi found Qiao Yun and said impatiently, "What do you think Qiao Zhen is that makes him stand out? He just seems to be working a little harder, so President Lu treats him differently."
“He must have some special skills. Remember to learn from him. That’s one of the reasons I put you under his supervision.”
Qiao Yun sighed, while glancing at Qiao Zhen not far away out of the corner of her eye, her eyes filled with a deeper meaning.
Song Shiyi rolled her eyes and said with a look of dissatisfaction.
"What outstanding qualities could she possibly have? She's just willing to go all out. Who knows how she secretly tries to curry favor with President Lu?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yun gave Song Shiyi a wink: "Alright, don't say things like that anymore. No matter how much you risk it, that's your ability. If you can't risk it, you're still nothing."
Hearing this, Song Shiyi couldn't help but pout: "I know, okay? How can this plan proceed smoothly?"
Qiao Yun nodded: "Don't worry, everything is under my control. This woman can't cause any trouble for the time being."

The next day, Song Shiyi followed Qiao Zhen's example and drove to the construction site.
She walked across the uneven construction site, wearing sky-high heels and a brand-new haute couture dress.
Upon seeing this, a worker nearby quickly shooed him away with a look of disgust: "Miss, this is a construction site, not a place for you to walk the runway. Please move aside and don't treat us like we're working."
Upon hearing this, Song Shiyi immediately became agitated: "How dare you speak to me like that? I'm your boss, how can you talk to me like that?"
Upon hearing this, the worker next to him was also stunned. He looked up and sized up Song Shiyi, revealing a suspicious gaze.
"You? Miss, are you drunk?"
Seeing the worker's disbelieving expression, Song Shiyi became even angrier and pointed at the worker's nose, cursing loudly.
"Who do you think you are to doubt me? If I'm not your boss, then who is?"
Seeing Song Shiyi's shrewish demeanor, the worker realized that she was not someone to be trifled with. He initially intended to let the matter drop, but seeing Song Shiyi's persistent attitude, he couldn't help but speak up.
"That Miss Qiao who came yesterday, she must be our director."
Upon hearing this, Song Shiyi's face contorted with anger.
Qiao Zhen, Qiao Zhen, it's Qiao Zhen again!
Song Shiyi spat angrily and shouted, "He's nobody! I'm the director, he's just a deputy director at best. You have to listen to me in everything!"
Seeing this, the worker could only wave his hand, revealing a helpless expression: "So, may I ask what your name is?"
"You think you're worthy to know my name?" Song Shiyi arrogantly raised her chin and said disdainfully, "Call me Director Song."
The worker wanted to retort, but seeing that Song Shiyi was dressed in expensive clothes and looked like someone not to be trifled with, he could only swallow his anger and keep doing his work.
Song Shiyi thought the workers were afraid of her, so she smugly went to watch other workers work.
"You didn't level the soil here, start over!"
Song Shiyi pointed at the slightly raised mound of earth and shouted.
The worker next to her explained helplessly, "Miss, it doesn't matter whether this map is flat or not..."
"What I say goes!" Song Shiyi interrupted the worker impatiently, her tone leaving no room for argument: "Just do as I say."
Hearing this, the worker sighed helplessly, his face turning somewhat grim, but he could only helplessly pick up the shovel and level the soil.
Song Shiyi nitpicked and made things difficult for him, and after her investigation, he returned to the company satisfied.
Qiao Zhen didn't think much of Song Shiyi's arrogant demeanor when she returned, but soon after, he received a message from the workers that they wanted to resign en masse.
"What's going on?" Qiao Zhen frowned anxiously and patiently asked the workers for the reason.
But the worker seemed to be wary of something and didn't dare to speak, simply waving his hand and saying that the job wasn't suitable for him.
Qiao Zhen looked at Song Shiyi beside her, and recalling his expression just now, she understood the gist of it.
"Miss Song, where did you go just now?"
Qiao Zhen maintained her composure and asked politely.
Seeing Qiao Zhen's expression, Song Shiyi assumed he was there to flatter her, so she rolled her eyes helplessly: "What's it to you what I'm doing?"
Qiao Zhen's expression turned cold, but she still maintained her composure.
"Ms. Song, did you just go to the construction site and say something to those workers?"
Song Shiyi was surprised that Qiao Zhen could guess this, her expression changed, and she stood up from her chair.
"Qiao Zhen, were you following me?"
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen just smiled calmly: "Song Shiyi, you're overthinking it. I'm very busy with work and don't have time to follow random people. It's just that some reasons made me guess."
Song Shiyi narrowed his eyes and looked at Qiao Zhen. He felt that Qiao Zhen's demeanor was not faking it, but he also felt that things were not that simple.
"Speak, what exactly do you want from me?"
Qiao Zhen was too lazy to waste any more time with him.
“Ms. Song, I don’t know what you said to them, but since your workers have submitted their resignations, I think it’s necessary for me to find out.”
Hearing this, Song Shiyi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but she still forced herself to say, "I don't know what you're talking about. I was just conducting a normal investigation."
"Really?" Qiao Zhen's face showed suspicion. Looking at Song Shiyi's evasive eyes, she felt that things were more and more strange.
“The workers’ collective strike is no small matter. Since we can’t resolve it privately, I need to tell President Lu about it and let him make the decision.”
With that, Qiao Zhen turned to leave.
Song Shiyi quickly grabbed him, her voice filled with anxiety: "What do you mean? You call for backup at the drop of a hat? Don't you have the ability to handle things yourself?"
"Yes," Qiao Zhen smiled brightly and frankly, "Of course I can't handle you alone, and you're not dealing with me alone either, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Song Shiyi froze on the spot. Her pupils contracted as she looked at Qiao Zhen's ambiguous smile, and she suddenly felt a little scared.
"You..." Before Song Shiyi could finish speaking, Qiao Zhen interrupted him and pulled his arm away.
"Miss Song, I need to go and warn President Lu about this."
Song Shiyi wanted to catch Qiao Zhen again, but Qiao Zhen walked very fast and he couldn't catch up at all.
Watching Qiao Zhen's departing figure, Song Shiyi was so anxious that she scratched her head and felt constipated, so she went to find Qiao Yun.
"Sister Qiao Yun, please help me! Xiao Zhen has gone to talk to President Lu about the situation!"
Seeing Song Shiyi rush into the office, Qiao Yun couldn't help but frown, but she still patiently spoke.
"Tell me in detail what happened."
Song Shiyi had no choice but to tell Qiao Yun everything that had just happened.
After hearing this, Qiao Yun's expression turned somewhat unpleasant: "Song Shiyi, the reason I'm on your side now doesn't mean you can endlessly hold me back. If necessary, I can kick you out of the game."
