A few days later, Zhao Chuning was notified to return to work. Although she was not fired, she was still punished. So, she was directly demoted from the secretary's office to the logistics department.
She had originally resigned from Tang Corporation, but now that this happened because of her mistake, she couldn't just walk away. Fortunately, she and Tang Yi were no longer on the same floor, and they were no longer involved in work, so there was almost no chance for them to meet, which made Zhao Chuning's tense heart relax a lot.
That day, noon.
Zhao Chuning just walked out of the company and saw Cheng Zheng’s car parked in front of the company.
She didn't stop, subconsciously trying to avoid him. Cheng Zheng got out of the car and walked in front of her, "Chu Chu, let's talk."
"Mr. Cheng, you should just call me Miss Zhao." Zhao Chuning cautiously kept a distance from him.
Cheng Zheng felt hurt by such a cold attitude. "The truth has been revealed. Shouldn't you give me a chance to explain?"

On the other side, upstairs.
In Tang Yi's office, he and Gu Shaocheng were discussing the plan while practicing swordplay. The two wore protective gear and fought back and forth.
Luo Bei held a telescope and looked around boredly from the French window, counting the various office beauties passing by on the street.
Suddenly, he uttered, "Fifth brother, there's something going on downstairs."
Tang Yi and Gu Shaocheng were already used to his reaction when he saw a beautiful woman. Neither of them paid any attention to him. Then, Luo Bei reported: "Fifth brother, there are quite a lot of people coveting your grass. It seems that Cheng Zheng from CZ is downstairs, and he is flirting with her."
Tang Yi paused for a moment, then understood. The flower sword in his hand suddenly became fierce, and stabbed towards Gu Shaocheng fiercely. Gu Shaocheng was startled, but the opponent's sword was sharp and unstoppable, and he had no power to fight back. In the end, he was forced into a corner by him, and the sword grabbed his throat.
This... I guess he thinks he is Cheng Zheng!
Gu Shaocheng stared blankly at Tang Yi's aggressive appearance like a wild beast at the moment, raised his hands in surrender, and was very glad that he was wearing protective gear today, otherwise, he would not know how he died.
Tang Yi took off his protective gear, threw away his flower sword, and turned to leave the office. Gu Shaocheng and Luo Bei opened the door and took a look. They sighed, "They left in such a hurry."
"Are you so possessive about toys?"
"You took away all my toys when I was a kid."
"You say, if the two of us want to divide up Fifth Brother's toy, he will probably destroy us on the spot, right?"
Gu Shaocheng shuddered and dared not even to think about it.

downstairs.
The entrance to the company was not a good place to talk, with people coming and going and being commented on. Zhao Chuning did not want to be misunderstood again, so he had to go to the coffee shop downstairs with Cheng Zheng.
"Chu Chu, the result of this matter has come out-" Cheng Zheng explained: "My subordinates were bribed by Guo Shaohuai, and originally wanted to steal information from me. Later, he saw the computer in my car and instinctively thought it was mine, so this happened. Although I didn't do it, this incident was caused by my negligence, so I must solemnly apologize to you."
Cheng Zheng was talking about the final investigation results, but it was difficult for Zhao Chuning to tell whether it was true or not. It was hard to say whether the so-called subordinates were really bribed by Guo Shaohuai or were just the final scapegoat in this matter.
Even so, her defense against CZ and Cheng Zheng was already there.
"No matter what the outcome of this matter is, I'm still working for Tang Corporation, and it's not appropriate for me to get too close to Mr. Cheng." Zhao Chuning looked at Cheng Zheng, the awkwardness in his words still not easing.
Regardless of whether Cheng Zheng was telling the truth or not, after this incident, things between them could never be the same as before. Tang Yi had to withstand so much pressure to keep her. If she got close to Cheng Zheng again, it would only embarrass Tang Yi. The resentment in the project department was even harder to dissipate.
She added: "From now on, it's better if we don't meet in private."
"Chu Chu, you are so heartless." Cheng Zheng smiled bitterly, "I originally thought that we could get closer."
"you misunderstood."
"Have you never thought about it this way?" He looked at her steadily, not hiding his liking for her at all.
She shook her head. “Before, we were just friends.”
At this time, the door of the cafe was opened by the waiter. Seeing the newcomer, all the waiters hurried out to greet him and stood in two rows respectfully.
Master Xiao Wu has been working here for a long time, but this is the first time they have seen him so close.
Looking at it this way, he really is a legendary figure, noble, prominent, and overwhelming.
He glanced at the two figures sitting by the window and walked over slowly.

Cheng Zheng looked at Zhao Chuning in front of him, his deep eyes seemed to look into her eyes, "If you really only regard us as friends, why did you allow me to visit your parents at your home?"
Zhao Chuning sighed, "I didn't expect you to misunderstand. That visit was a polite exchange between friends - I originally thought that this was a consensus between us."
Cheng Zheng held the coffee cup and took a sip. After a long pause, he asked, "Do you like Tang Yi so much?"
This question made Zhao Chuning pause for a long time while stirring his coffee.
Liking someone is like planting a seed in your bones and blood. Time flies, things change, but the seed does not die, but takes root and sprouts in your heart.
Tang Yi also heard this, and his steps paused, his expression slightly changed. Behind him, Luo Bei and Gu Shaocheng also stopped.
He was a few steps away, staring at the beautiful profile. Her face was very small, only the size of a palm. Her fair little face was thoughtful at the moment.
His eyes fixed on her soft red lips, his pupils narrowed, and no good answer came out of her annoying little mouth. He had seen it that night!
Gu Shaocheng and Luo Bei, who were standing by, held their breath out of curiosity.
Sudden…
"I guess so." Zhao Chuning sighed softly. She said this to dispel Cheng Zheng's idea, but she knew best whether it was true or not.
Cheng Zheng looked at her disappointedly, "Even though he is so ruthless to you?"
Zhao Chuning didn't want to continue this topic. She put down the spoon and looked at her watch. "Sorry, Mr. Cheng, I'm in a hurry and have to go to lunch."
Cheng Zheng moved his lips, wanting to keep her, but she had already picked up her bag and stood up.
Zhao Chuning turned sideways, looked up, and was surprised to see a figure.
Tang Yi!
He was actually standing just a few meters away from him.
When did he come? Did he hear what I just said to Cheng Zheng
