Watching him leave, Zhao Chuning sat at the conference table, lost in thought for a long time.
She looked down at herself, the ambiguous trace under her shirt was too beautiful. Her soft fingers brushed over it lightly, as if the heat from his lips was still there. She was startled and quickly withdrew it.
She laughed at herself for being distracted by him.
He quickly calmed down, suppressed the confused emotions on his face, and buttoned his windbreaker tightly.
She shouldn't have presumptuously guessed what this man was thinking. She couldn't guess for sure. If she misunderstood him again like she had in the past, she would be the one making a fool of herself.
When Zhao Chuning walked out of the conference room, everyone stared at her with an indescribable look. She ignored them and just glanced at Tang Yi's office. At this moment, it was tightly sealed inside and nothing could be seen.
"Sister Chu Ning, did President Tang make things difficult for you?" Chen Li came out of the secretary's office and asked worriedly.
Zhao Chuning shook his head. "If there is any news in the next two days, please inform me as soon as possible."
"must."
Chen Li really wanted to ask something, but in the end, she held back and didn't ask anything.
Zhao Chuning knew that he was going to ask her about leaking the information, so she didn't say much and just turned around and left the company.
———
Zhao Chuning went directly to CZ Company.
After the announcement, Cheng Zheng did not hide from her and let her into the office directly.
She looked at the elegant man sitting at the desk and felt strange.
"Sit down." Cheng Zheng stood up and walked over to the sofa. He then notified his secretary, "Make Miss Zhao a cup of coffee."
"No need." Zhao Chuning interrupted Cheng Zheng. She didn't sit down, but just stood there, looking at him coldly, "Why do you do this?"
"I've heard about Tang Yi's team." Cheng Zheng remained calm in the face of her questioning.
"Just heard about it? Mr. Cheng, you are plagiarizing."
"Chu Chu, you should calm down."
"I am very calm. I am just disappointed with your behavior. But, it's okay. Whether it's on the battlefield or in the business world, if you only have means but no strength, you will be eliminated sooner or later. This time you used such a low-level method to make Tang Yi your defeated opponent. In the future, he will pay you back in full."
Zhao Chuning didn't even want to look at Cheng Zheng any more when she said this, and she turned around and left. Cheng Zheng suddenly stood up and grabbed her.
"Let me go!" Zhao Chuning pushed Cheng Zheng's hand away in disgust.
"You still like him?" Cheng Zheng held her tighter, staring at her. Zhao Chuning was shocked and sneered, "This has nothing to do with liking someone. Besides, Mr. Cheng, whether I like someone or not has nothing to do with you."
"Chu Chu, ask yourself, is he worth your concern? He just treats you as a toy! The reason he warned me to stay away from you is just because he thinks I covet his things, not his beloved woman!"
"Are you done?" Zhao Chuning's eyelashes fluttered, his expression even colder than before, "Let go if you're done!"
Cheng Zheng stared at her calm face, trying to find any trace of shock on her face, but there was none.
She pulled her hand away and walked away decisively and freely.
Cheng Zheng looked at the back, sat back on the sofa, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.
What's so good about a man like Tang Yi? Why do women fall for him one after another
Zhao Chuning walked out of Cheng Zheng's company and stood in the cold wind, shivering with cold. She wrapped her windbreaker tightly around herself, and the words kept echoing in her mind: He just treats you as a toy.
Oh~
She knows it better than anyone else! So, how could she be shocked
only…
My chest still aches. After all, I cannot deny that I have loved someone sincerely.
———
There has been no news from the company these two days.
Zhao Chuning asked people in the industry about the E30 project, and sure enough, Cheng Zheng won the bid in the end.
She was a little depressed. Not only did she find it hard to face Tang Yi, but also everyone who had contributed to this project.
She was too careless and didn't think that Cheng Zheng would do such a thing. After five years of hard work, she still didn't have enough insight into people.
Two days later, I made an appointment with Chen Li to have dinner at a high-end restaurant called "Mei Yu", and the two of them sat in a small private room.
"What's the current trend in the company?" Zhao Chuning asked Chen Li.
"The investigative agency came once last time, but President Tang insisted that it was not an employee who leaked the information, but that the information was plagiarized by CZ's people." Chen Li said this, glanced at Zhao Chuning, and paused.
Zhao Chuning said: "Go on."
"Actually... Mr. Tang's statement is hard to convince the people in the project department. They still have a lot of complaints about you and think that Mr. Tang is protecting you. People from the headquarters also came and put a lot of pressure on Mr. Tang, demanding that you be thoroughly investigated and publicly fired. However, Mr. Tang strongly rejected them all."
Zhao Chuning tightened his grip on the chopsticks slightly.
Chen Li sighed, "Public dismissal is too severe. If you really do that, you really won't be able to continue in this industry in the future. I guess Mr. Tang also considered this, so he insisted on not listening to the advice of the headquarters. However, I really didn't expect that Mr. Tang, who usually looks so cruel, could actually be kind sometimes."
Listening to Chen Li's words, Zhao Chuning's heart was touched by something and trembled. Chen Li smiled, "Sister Chuning, do you think Mr. Tang is really interested in you?"
Zhao Chuning came back to his senses and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not saying this nonsense. You are the only one who can raise your voice in front of Mr. Tang. We don't dare to do that." Chen Li said firmly, "Anyway, I can see that you are definitely different in front of Mr. Tang."
Zhao Chuning smiled bitterly. She didn't want to be sentimental. If there was any difference, it would probably be that she was his ex-girlfriend. Maybe, there was some affection.
Although he thought so, his heart was still disturbed by Chen Li's words.
While she was thinking, suddenly, a cold and mocking voice came from the middle-aged man in the next box: "Who promised before that the E30 project would definitely be won?"
E30 project
Zhao Chuning and Chen Li looked at each other when they heard this.
The response to this voice was silence.
But the man continued to sarcastically say, "When we first established the branch, I suggested to Tang Yu that your brother Tang Wei take over, but you just wanted to be in the spotlight. Now that you're handing the E30 over to CZ, how are you going to explain this to Tang Yu?"
"This is my business, you don't need to worry about it. Go back and take good care of your other beloved son. And - you have no right to come in front of me and give me orders!"
An even colder voice came through the wall, almost freezing the entire space. Zhao Chuning's heart suddenly lifted. This voice was actually Tang Yi!
