“President Lu must have misjudged. I wish the company would assign me more elites.” Qiao Zhen turned to look at him, her expression radiant with a hint of smugness.
Seeing her like this, Lu Zheng knew she wanted to distance herself from him, but he deliberately refused to let her have her way.
He deliberately moved closer to her, pulling Qiao Zhen closer to himself.
"Is Mr. Lu reluctant to part with it?" Qiao Zhen looked at him playfully, her eyes gleaming with calculation.
"I……"
"If you're willing, Mr. Lu, remember to assign me a few elites~" She smiled at Lu Zheng, her mischievousness evident in her eyes.
She used the excuse of speaking to turn around and leave Lu Zheng's side.
Noticing her subtle movements, Lu Zheng smiled and let her leave.
"I'll be waiting for good news." She looked at Lu Zheng, her smile widening, and then she took a few steps back and left Lu Zheng's office.
Sitting at her workstation, Qiao Zhen's eyes were full of smiles.
She is closer to her goal.
I wonder what kind of expressions those people will have when they find out they're going to go with her.
Just thinking about it makes me feel so good!
"Qiao Zhen, you got promoted, so you're going to treat us to dinner?" Qiao Yun asked as she walked out in her high heels near the end of the workday.
"It would be natural to treat you to dinner, but Manager Qiao probably doesn't think much of us."
I'll definitely treat them to a meal. Aside from not getting along with Qiao Yun, I get along quite well with the other colleagues.
However, she wasn't so willing to bring Qiao Yun along.
Qiao Yun, who had a great plan, immediately frowned upon hearing Qiao Zhen's words.
"Qiao Zhen, you're wrong. Everyone has seen how good Manager Qiao is to us, and Manager Qiao has attended every single dinner party."
Upon hearing Qiao Zhen's words, Qiao Yun's lackeys immediately jumped out to defend her.
Hearing the lackey's words, everyone else laughed.
Qiao Yun did go to dinner with them, but they paid for it, and the restaurants they went to were all well-known ones.
If they went to places of lower social standing, Qiao Yun would make sarcastic remarks to them.
They said only Michelin-starred restaurants are worthy of her.
"Really? We usually go to those kinds of food stalls. I wonder if Manager Qiao can get used to it?"
Although Qiao Zhen rarely attended their gatherings, she had heard about Qiao Yun's demands to some extent.
She deliberately suggested treating Qiao Yun to a street food stall to see how she would respond.
Hearing her words, Qiao Yun was choked up.
"Oh dear, Qiao Zhen, you've been promoted to manager, you wouldn't be so stingy as to only treat us to food stalls."
When the lackey saw that Qiao Yun was choked, he immediately chimed in to help.
"It's not your treat, of course you won't be stingy. Besides, I got promoted to manager, it's not because of you guys, so it's already good enough that you're treating me to a meal."
She looked at the lackey with a smile, showing him no respect whatsoever.
The other colleagues suddenly realized what was going on after hearing this.
Yes, it was Qiao Zhen who was promoted to manager, not them.
What to eat is definitely Qiao Zhen's decision, since it's her treat, not theirs.
The lackey was also taken aback by Qiao Zhen's bluntness and was rendered speechless by her retort.
She glared fiercely at Qiao Zhen and didn't say anything more.
Without his lackeys charging into battle, Qiao Yun stopped hiding.
She forced a smile and said, "If Qiao Zhen is treating, then of course I'll listen to Qiao Zhen. I'm fine with anything."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Seeing this, the lackey quickly chased after them.
Seeing that they had all left, one of them happily said, "Finally, someone has come out on top to talk them out! I've never seen such shameless people before. They're being picky even when someone else is treating them!"
"Yeah, last time I said I'd treat her, and I'd already booked a restaurant, but she insisted it wasn't high-class enough and the food wasn't good enough, why go to some fancy restaurant? It's not just that the food isn't good, it's ridiculously expensive too."
"The time before last, it was the same. The project didn't have much prize money, but they insisted I treat them to a meal. I could have let it go if it was cheaper, but the meal cost me over two thousand yuan. My wallet was bleeding."
Once this topic was brought up, everyone started complaining about how difficult Qiao Yun was to please.
Unfortunately, they have powerful backers, which is something these people can't compare to.
Everyone was talking at once, and no one noticed that Lu Zheng's assistant had appeared at the door at some point.
One person stood there and secretly tugged at the clothes of the person next to him to make her watch the doorway.
Upon seeing Lu Zheng's assistant, he quickly reminded the next person.
The office became unusually quiet for a moment.
Qiao Zhen was somewhat surprised to see her assistant approaching.
It's almost time to get off work, why is he still coming over?
"This is for you." The assistant, having overheard some gossip, realized that her presence was affecting them.
After handing the documents to Qiao Zhen, he left immediately.
Everyone looked at the documents in Qiao Zhen's hand with some curiosity. The documents that Lu Zheng's assistant brought over must have been arranged by President Lu.
Seeing how curious everyone was, she opened it in front of them.
Seeing the words "transfer of position" written above, she smiled slightly, and her mood visibly improved.
Song Siyi moved closer to her and her eyes widened when she saw the words on it.
She looked at Qiao Zhen with excitement, wanting to ask her if she was inside.
But seeing so many people, she still didn't ask.
"This is the job transfer letter. The company's official document has not yet been issued, so we cannot disclose it to everyone at this time."
"Although we're going to eat at a street food stall, how could I possibly treat everyone to a street food stall? Everyone can suggest a place to go, and we'll go there if everyone agrees."
Qiao Zhen looked at everyone and laughed loudly.
"Yay, this is great!"
They were all curious when they learned that Qiao Zhen was holding a transfer document. But after hearing her frank explanation, their curiosity vanished.
If all goes well, they'll know what's inside tomorrow.
Instead of being curious about things that have nothing to do with you, you should think about where to eat tonight.
After finally making it to the end of the workday, everyone grabbed their things and rushed out as soon as it was time to leave.
Qiao Zhen and Song Siyi walked to the back and looked at their crazy behavior, finding it a little funny.
"Do you think they're rushing because they're leaving get off work, or because you're treating them to a meal?"
"I think it's both." Seeing how happy they were, Qiao Zhen felt even better.
Song Siyi was very dissatisfied with Qiao Zhen's answer. She pouted and was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of Lu Zheng coming out of the elevator.
She whispered in Qiao Zhen's ear, "President Lu is coming down. I'm slipping away first. Remember to come over later."
After saying that, Song Siyi quickly caught up with the group and set off.
Seeing that everyone was in their office today, Lu Zheng immediately guessed what they were up to.
"Going to a dinner party?"
"Yes, Mr. Lu, would you like to come with us?" Qiao Zhen asked Lu Zheng with a smile.
She made the invitation, but Lu Zheng knew she was just being polite.
He smiled slightly and said, "Sure, I'm free tonight."
Qiao Zhen's smile vanished.
If he goes there tonight, he estimates only one person will be happy: Qiao Yun. The rest will be unhappy.
