Qiao Zhen saw that Qiao Yun wanted to downplay the issue and then let it go. She wouldn't have it, and stared intently at Qiao Yun as she spoke to Lu Zheng.
With her back to Lu Zheng, she couldn't see his expression, but she could sense him approaching.
"Manager Qiao?" Lu Zheng looked at Qiao Yun, his tone somewhat displeased.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Lu." She didn't expect that Qiao Zhen would dare to tell Lu Zheng what they had said.
"I just saw that Qiao Zhen was so tired lately, so I wanted to assign her some simple tasks."
Qiao Yun would never admit that she really wanted to steal Qiao Zhen's project; she could only laugh it off.
"Is that so?" Lu Zheng asked Qiao Yun, but his eyes were fixed on Qiao Zhen's back.
From the moment he opened his mouth until now, Qiao Zhen has not looked at him directly.
This feeling is really unpleasant!
"Yes, Mr. Lu, Qiao Zhen looks haggard lately."
As Qiao Yun spoke, she tried to turn Qiao Zhen around so that Lu Zheng could see her expression.
However, Qiao Zhen was uncooperative, staring blankly at Qiao Yun. It seemed she now understood why Qiao Yun had spoken so politely to her earlier; it turned out she was afraid the higher-ups would find out.
But she seemed to be in such a hurry today, something must have happened.
"Manager Qiao is right. She said she would entrust all of General Manager Lin's projects to me."
Qiao Zhen realized that Qiao Yun had handed him leverage, and that failing to seize the benefits in front of Lu Zheng would be the biggest failure.
Upon hearing Qiao Zhen's words, Qiao Yun was stunned.
Mr. Lin has several projects, and they're all set to happen; it's just a formality.
If she gave it all to Qiao Zhen, she would really be furious!
But there was no other way at the moment, so she had to agree to Qiao Zhen's words. Otherwise, if Lu Zheng found out, she would be skinned alive, if not killed.
"Yes, that's what we were just discussing." Qiao Yun couldn't even manage a smile anymore, and replied with a bitter face.
Lu Zheng nodded, turned and left, returning to his office.
After Lu Zheng walked away, Qiao Yun glared fiercely at Qiao Zhen.
"Qiao Zhen, you did a great job!"
“If it weren’t for Manager Qiao’s generosity, this project wouldn’t have ended up in my hands.”
Qiao Zhen looked at Qiao Yun with a smile, which made Qiao Yun so angry that she felt like she was going to die on the spot.
Seeing her leave in a huff, Song Siyi felt inexplicably satisfied.
"Seeing her get the short end of the stick was so satisfying!"
"You should get back to work!" Qiao Zhen glanced at her and focused on the computer.
In the days that followed, without Qiao Yun causing trouble, Qiao Zhen enjoyed a few peaceful days.
The project was almost finished, and thinking about her promise to Lu Zheng filled her with energy.
"Qiao Zhen! Do you know what I found out?!"
That day, Song Siyi arrived at the company and saw Qiao Zhen there. She jogged over and asked in a low voice.
"What did you find out?" Qiao Zhen asked, curious as she watched her get so excited.
"Hasn't Qiao Yun been picking on you all along? She even wants the projects you have." Song Siyi was out of breath from running, and quickly took a breath after speaking.
Qiao Zhen nodded, waiting for her to continue.
"The reason is that she's been boosting her metrics lately. The projects you have are ones she didn't finish before. If you finish them and it gets reported to higher-ups, she'll definitely lose face, and we don't even know if she can keep her position."
Seeing that Song Siyi spoke logically and persuasively, Qiao Zhen was half-convinced.
"Don't you believe me? It must be true. I heard there's an assessment at headquarters, so she must be anxious."
"So what? She has powerful connections. As long as she doesn't make any fundamental mistakes, there won't be any problems."
Qiao Zhen was more open-minded about this than anyone else.
If Qiao Yun was demoted or dismissed, it must be related to her conduct.
Hearing Qiao Zhen's words, Song Siyi felt that they made some sense and nodded while stroking her chin.
"So, none of this matters. You should go back to work!"
As she spoke, Qiao Zhen handed her the documents on the table.
When Song Siyi saw so much information, she was instantly dumbfounded.
How come there are so many!
"Mr. Lu, these projects have already been completed. Does what you said still stand?"
That day, Qiao Zhen knocked on Lu Zheng's office door and placed the project she had signed on Lu Zheng's desk.
Lu Zheng opened the contracts, flipped through a few pages, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He hadn't expected Qiao Zhen to be so capable, managing to secure all these projects in just a few months.
Then he felt a little uncomfortable, and he looked up at her indifferently.
This woman is capable of anything to leave him and get revenge on him.
I really don't know whether to say she has perseverance or determination.
“Of course it counts.” Lu Zheng looked at her, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with a deeper meaning.
He picked up the landline and dialed a few numbers: "Bring in the project from last time."
Qiao Zhen knew he was calling his assistant, and she felt a little excited.
She was one step closer to her goal and would soon be able to avenge her father!
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and her eyes couldn't hide her excitement.
Seeing her like this, Lu Zheng couldn't tell whether he felt heartbroken or disappointed.
Soon, the assistant came in carrying a pile of documents. He was taken aback when he saw Qiao Zhen there.
"Miss Qiao!"
"Mr. Lu, everything is here." The assistant placed the items he had brought on the table.
Upon seeing those documents, Qiao Zhen couldn't hide her joy.
After putting down the documents, the assistant left.
Lu Zheng looked at Qiao Zhen and gestured for her to come over and take a look.
Under Lu Zheng's instructions, Qiao Zhen opened the documents, and the more she read, the more surprised she became.
I never expected Lu Zheng to give her such a private project. These are Lu's biggest projects!
"Are all of these for me?" Suppressing her excitement, Qiao Zhen pursed her lips and asked, trying to appear calm.
"Otherwise what?" Lu Zheng smiled faintly as he saw her like this, his dark eyes unfathomable and unfathomable.
Qiao Zhen, caught up in her excitement, didn't see Lu Zheng's expression and had no idea what he was thinking.
"These are all confidential matters. Can you really entrust them to me?" After the initial excitement, Qiao Zhen calmed down.
Is it really okay to give her something so confidential like this?
Or did Lu Zheng know something? Was he deliberately setting a trap for her?
Thinking about it, she secretly glanced at Lu Zheng.
I noticed that he had the same stern face as always, and I couldn't tell what he was thinking, so I felt relieved.
Perhaps he simply listened to her and wanted to challenge himself?
"Of course, I believe you won't let me down, right?"
Lu Zheng noticed Qiao Zhen's subtle movements, then smiled, as if to say, "I believe you."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu. I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Qiao Zhen looked at the documents happily, already making plans in her mind.
"So how do you want to thank me?" Lu Zheng got up and came to her side, whispering in her ear.
