Chapter 23 Chapter 23 What is this? behave in a spoiled manner?
As soon as Cheng Yi got home, he saw a man sitting in the living room smoking.
The ashtray was already full of cigarette butts and the air was filled with smoke. Cheng Xiaoyong's brows were tightly furrowed and his expression was extremely solemn.
"Brother, stop smoking. It's bad for your health." Cheng Yi walked up to him, snatched his cigarette and put it out.
"It's okay," Cheng Xiaoyong waved his hand, "I'm in good health."
"I'm talking about my body." Cheng Yi gave his brother a resentful look.
Cheng Xiaoyong: “…”
"In a bad mood? Qian Jin resigned? So why did he resign?" Cheng Yi pulled a chair and sat down, asking the question even though he knew the answer.
Cheng Xiaoyong's face darkened again, and his tone was very irritable: "He said that he has been haunted by nightmares recently. His second uncle who died many years ago always pinches his neck and teaches him not to do anything illegal again."
"Damn, that's awesome!" Cheng Yi praised Qian Jin's wit.
He also took this opportunity to persuade Cheng Xiaoyong: "Since the one who led the charge has run away, there is no point for the two of us to be together. It is better for us to break up. You go back to your Gao Laozhuang, and I go back to my Liusha River. To be honest, I am also afraid of being strangled by my second uncle."
"You don't have a second uncle." Cheng Xiaoyong dispelled his concerns in a firm tone.
Cheng Yi: “…”
"There are still two weeks before the project's winning bid is announced," Cheng Xiaoyong continued. "If we give up now, we will be betraying our original intention."
Haha, Cheng Yi was detained for a second. What was his original intention? Was it his original intention to go to jail?
"Brother, the book says that the essence of original intention is that even if you have seen a lot of complexity and darkness, you still disdain to become that kind of person," he couldn't help but corrected, "We are just the opposite. We should say sorry for our black hearts."
"Shut up," Cheng Xiaoyong changed the subject decisively, with a hint of breaking through his defense. "Our company has also developed a virtual technology system that can compete with Lu Yu's company, and even the immersion treatment technology is more advanced than his. But unfortunately, we don't have a price advantage."
"If we give up now, all our efforts will be wasted, so we must go all out and take over Lu Yu Company's pricing system in one fell swoop!"
"Oh, how do you do it?" Cheng Yi asked.
Cheng Xiaoyong was firm: "Steal."
Cheng Yi: “…”
This important task naturally fell on Cheng Yi's shoulders, but although he agreed on the surface, he secretly had his own plans.
Procrastinate and don't do it.
Just like those office slickers, if they delay for a while, everything will be fine, but if they delay for a moment, the sky will be wide open.
The question is, I don’t know, there is no progress, what should I do?
In the next few days, Cheng Yi carried forward the art of procrastination.
Of course, he only delayed Cheng Xiaoyong, and he completed all the tasks assigned to him by Lu Yu on time.
On Wednesday morning, Lu Yu called him into the office.
"Did you complete the data analysis independently this time?"
"Not really," Cheng Yi said truthfully, "This time we sought help from outside forces and allocated resources rationally."
Lu Yu: “…”
Lu Yu: "You have mastered labor outsourcing very well."
Cheng Yi said shyly: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm just trying it out."
"Be serious, this is not a joke," Lu Yu suddenly frowned, "In the workplace, rules and order are important. Everyone in the workplace must maintain a virtuous cycle of the workplace ecology."
"I know, I didn't do anything to destroy it," Cheng Yi defended himself, "I didn't use violence or coercion, and I didn't bully people in the workplace. The reason why these talented people are willing to help me is all because of my strong personality."
“…………”
Lu Yu was rarely choked up, and for a moment he couldn't find a reason to refute. But his brows were knitted together and his thin lips were pursed into a line.
Cheng Yi keenly sensed his boss's displeasure, and quickly paved a step for himself to walk down.
"I know Mr. Lu is doing this for my own good," he walked up to Lu Yu and gently tugged at his sleeve. "We are pressed for time and have a heavy task this time, so just let me go, okay?"
A touch of warmth from the fingertips inadvertently reached Lu Yu's wrist, and Lu Yu was startled. What's this? behave in a spoiled manner?
What's wrong with you? You made a mistake and tried to get away with it by acting cute.
He should give this man a good scolding and punish him severely. Such a thought flashed through Lu Yu's mind, but his mouth was slower than ever before.
"You go out first," he said after a long while, "this won't happen again."
Cheng Yi readily agreed, picked up his analysis report and ran away. It seemed that Lu Yu returned to his domineering self only after everyone left.
He took the phone and gave the assistant a penalty decision.
[Lu Yu]: Come to my office every morning to clean and take care of the money tree
[Cheng Yi]: Okay, may I ask if you have fired the cleaning lady?
[Lu Yu]: It's not dismissal, it's a reduction in workload. Cleaning work is too saturated. Your unsaturated
【Cheng Yi】：(ΩДΩ)
Cheng Yi was very dissatisfied. But there was no appeal.
Back at his workstation, he started tearing off a few more pages of his old hand-torn calendar.
It’s almost time. There are still 8 days left before the virtual rehabilitation system project is announced. If you delay a little longer, victory will be just around the corner!
Just as I finished encouraging myself, my phone vibrated twice on the table. It was a routine inquiry WeChat message from my eldest brother.
[Cheng Xiaoyong]: Is there any progress?
【Cheng Yi】: None
[Cheng Xiaoyong]: Can’t you find any opportunity to get close to the price plan?
[Cheng Yi]: Yes
[Cheng Xiaoyong]: You should quit. Yesterday at the cocktail party, I met a senior executive of Lu Yu Company, Tan Ji. I am 100% sure that I can bribe him with a 7-figure salary to help steal the price.
What the hell? Cheng Yi couldn't sit still anymore. How can such an unethical person invite foreign aid again?
[Cheng Yi]: Brother, think twice. Have you forgotten the last time the technical guy stood you up?
[Cheng Xiaoyong]: It’s different. This time, the executive said that his wife gave birth to eight babies in one pregnancy, and he would call anyone who gave him money “grandmaster”.
Oh shit! This time, Cheng Yi really couldn't sit still.
Cheng Xiaoyong has always been willing to spend money, but whether it is Qian Jin or Tan Ji, their common weakness is lack of money.
Just because of this weakness, they can be easily controlled by Cheng Xiaoyong.
If Babao's father really works for Cheng Xiaoyong, all previous efforts will be in vain.
No, we must not let Babao Dad take the position at this time.
[Cheng Yi]: Brother, Babao Daddy can't replace me. You spend seven figures to hire foreign players. It's better to let the money flow to my wife.
【Cheng Xiaoyong】：? ?
That night, Cheng Yi returned home and once again expressed his determination to Cheng Xiaoyong, vowing that he would stand up this time.
Cheng Xiaoyong was puzzled. In his opinion, although Cheng Yi offered to be an undercover agent, he did nothing.
He excluded his teammates, was passive and lazy, and even had brain attacks from time to time, trying to persuade him to quit.
Why does he seem like a different person today?
"No matter who you are, please get off Cheng Yi first." He pointed at Cheng Yi, as if there was a separate Cheng Yi in the other person's body.
"Brother, I'm not possessed, nor am I split," Cheng Yi explained to him seriously, "It's all because of that seven-figure commission you mentioned."
"Huh? You are only interested in money!" Cheng Xiaoyong was very puzzled. So he did nothing well before because he didn't have enough money?
"What do you mean by 'actually'? Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. If I don't pay you, does it mean I'm paying for your face that doesn't look like Lu Yushuai?" Cheng Yi rolled his eyes.
"How bold!" Cheng Xiaoyong was angry.
"Alright, alright, let's not tell the truth," Cheng Yi quickly got back to the point. "Anyway, you promised me a seven-figure salary, and I risked my life for you. Now tell me about your plan. Didn't you say you bought a new secret weapon to deal with Lu Yu?"
Since his younger brother said so, Cheng Xiaoyong could only nod for the time being.
He pulled Cheng Yi into the study. He pulled out a small, glittering silver box.
“If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.” Cheng Xiaoyong opened the box as if he was opening a treasure chest.
"Glasses? They seem to be the same style as Lu Yu's." Cheng Yi thought of something. "Is he trying to make me and him wear matching glasses to deceive him and his secrets?"
"…Bullshit!" Cheng Xiaoyong was so shocked that smoke came out of his head: "If you can really deceive him physically and mentally, that's not bad. This is the latest technology from abroad: AI camera glasses…"
After dinner in the evening, Cheng Yi went straight into the bedroom and started a new round of strategic planning.
The project publicity results will be out soon, and we can no longer use the method of procrastination. If we continue to play badly, Babaodie may be replaced by Cheng Xiaoyong at any time.
Therefore, he must make some "performance" in the next few days to control Cheng Xiaoyong and make the other party firmly believe that he is a hardcore undercover agent who has the ability to kill Lu Yu at the last critical moment.
