More than ten hours?
"Can I really sleep that much?" Qiao Zhen muttered in disbelief.
It's not that she can sleep so much, it's mainly because the hallucinogenic drug is so potent.
"What happened last night?" Qiao Zhen muttered to herself, then suddenly remembered what had happened last night.
Lu Zheng didn't hide anything from her and told her everything that happened after she fell unconscious.
So, Shenyan and her accomplices planned to drug her, find a man to ruin her reputation, and then arrange for some people to come in and catch her in the act of adultery.
However, they didn't expect that after they went in, they would find that the person inside was Lu Zheng, and they had to return empty-handed.
Then came the matter that Yan Simiao mentioned to her over the phone.
After listening, Qiao Zhen shook her head. Did Shen Yan have some kind of obsession with ruining her reputation?
"Stay away from Chenyan from now on."
Qiao Zhen nodded vigorously. She would definitely stay far away from Chen Yan from now on; she was a madwoman right now.
He didn't care about the occasion at all and just made a move on her.
"Is there CCTV footage at the scene?" she asked, frowning after a moment's thought.
Shen Yan's behavior warrants a police report and her arrest.
"Yes, but your angle just happens to be a blind spot."
After her accident, Lu Zheng immediately checked the surveillance footage and discovered that the place Shen Yan chose happened to be a blind spot.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen's expression turned sour.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. They planned their actions beforehand, so they would definitely do it in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras.
It seems that it's not enough to bring down Chen Yan; we still need to be more wary of her in the future.
After resting for a day, Qiao Zhen returned to the company and found that everyone's gaze towards her had changed.
"What happened to them?" she texted Song Siyi.
"Oh dear, you didn't come all day yesterday. Did you go on your honeymoon?"
Song Siyi is still in the mood to joke, so it probably isn't a big deal.
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. President Lu said he's going to send you to the branch office. The news has already been released, but the official documents haven't come through yet."
Upon seeing this sentence, she recalled what Lu Zheng had said before, and felt a surge of excitement.
She's waited so long, and this day has finally come!
Which branch office?
"I don't know yet, but I've heard the position is quite high."
Qiao Zhen understood, and she sent Song Siyi an emoji to end the chat.
Knowing this news, she was full of energy at work.
It would be even better if those gossipy women were less involved.
On the same day, the company document came down, and Qiao Zhen was transferred to a branch office as manager.
When Song Siyi saw the document, she was stunned.
Why so suddenly? She'd heard it was a fairly high-ranking position, but she never expected it to be a manager!
The branch office is a small, newly established company, and the highest-ranking officer there is probably the manager!
"Sis, you're my own sister, take me with you! I want to live the good life with you!"
Song Siyi immediately sent a message to cling to Qiao Zhen's coattails.
Upon seeing her message, Qiao Zhen smiled and slowly typed a few words on the keyboard.
"Go and talk to President Lu. If President Lu agrees, I'll take you there."
Upon seeing her reply, Song Siyi peeked out and gave her the middle finger.
She went to tell President Lu that she wanted to leave with Qiao Zhen, but President Lu definitely wouldn't agree.
The news that Qiao Zhen was sent to a branch office caused a stir in the company, and everyone congratulated her.
Her supervisor, in particular, was very pleased to know that she was being transferred.
Only a few individuals, unable to reach the grapes, complain about their own sourness.
"We don't even know what the newly established branch office will be like yet, and you're already so excited. What if it fails and you come back with your tail between your legs? Wouldn't that be a terrible sight?"
"What do they have to be afraid of with President Lu backing them up!"
This one sentence overturned all of Qiao Zhen's efforts, saying that she rose to power by relying on men.
"That's right. She's capable; her boyfriend is a CEO. No matter how hard we try, we can't achieve that."
That sarcastic tone is so sour it could make your teeth ache.
Qiao Zhen came out of the cubicle, smiled at them, and calmly went to wash her hands.
Her sudden appearance startled the three people who were gossiping.
After washing her hands, Qiao Zhen gave the three of them a meaningful look before leaving.
"No, how did I end up running into her!"
The restroom is a place for gossip, but I never expected to run into the person in question here.
"If you run into her, you run into her. Look, she doesn't say anything, so doesn't that mean she agrees?"
"I feel..."
Just as the person who was going to continue the conversation started speaking, another person came out from inside.
This time, it was Song Siyi who came out. She smiled at them, washed her hands, and left.
They dared not continue speaking, for who knows who might come out next.
Back at her workstation, Qiao Zhen saw Song Siyi walking behind her and sent her a message.
Song Siyi quickly replied with three names, Qiao Zhen sent an OK message, and then sent a message to Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng, who had just returned to the company, received a message from Qiao Zhen, and his eyes softened.
"Have Qiao Zhen come to my office," Lu Zheng instructed his assistant in a low voice.
Thinking of the documents sent out today, the assistant nodded knowingly.
"Qiao Zhen, go to President Lu's office." Qiao Zhen wasn't surprised at all when she heard the administrator's words.
She took the prepared materials and went to Lu Zheng's office to find him.
Lu Zheng was reading an analysis report when he heard a knock on the door. Knowing it was Qiao Zhen, he let her in without even looking up.
She went to Lu Zheng's desk and quietly watched him work.
After a long while, Lu Zheng slowly raised his head.
"What do you want?" He stood up and came to Qiao Zhen's side, asking in a deep voice, his voice a little hoarse, as if he had been talking for a long time and hadn't drunk any water.
Qiao Zhen walked past him, poured him a glass of water, and handed it to him.
"I saw the document and want to ask President Lu for a few people."
She looked at Lu Zheng with a smile, speaking in a coquettish tone, deliberately lowering her voice when she said "President Lu".
Lu Zheng took her hand, drank a few sips, and felt much better in his throat.
"Who do you want?" As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Zhen showed him the information she had prepared.
Seeing the names and their performance results, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
It's understandable that she wanted to bring Song Siyi along, since Song Siyi is her friend.
But what's the situation with these three? Their performance output isn't good; in fact, it's quite poor.
He thought she was going to take some elites with her, but it turned out to be just a few ordinary employees.
"Just these few?" Lu Zheng flipped through the documents and raised his eyebrows as he asked.
"I'd like a few more, but I'm afraid Mr. Lu might feel bad about it."
Qiao Zhen originally didn't plan to ask the company to send people over, but after hearing what those people said, she changed her mind.
Since they look down on her so much and think she got to where she is by using her body, then let's bring them along too.
Performance doesn't matter, as long as I can annoy them.
"Really? I couldn't tell at all." Lu Zheng put one arm around her waist and whispered in her ear.
A throbbing sensation ran through my heart, and small goosebumps appeared on my skin.
She subtly shifted her body to the side, trying to avoid Lu Zheng's intimacy.
Noticing her movement, Lu Zheng smiled softly.
