Chapter 306 Four Storms Begin
Throughout the following morning, people came to the president's office to report on their work in an endless stream. For a moment, Cheng Shuyan even wondered if there was already a long queue at the door.
During this time, Cheng Shuyan leaned back in his chair, exhaled a breath of stale air, looked at the pile of documents in front of him that resembled a small mountain, and glanced at Yunzhi, who was sitting upright and focused on her computer. He instantly understood what was going on.
He casually slammed the pen on the table with a thud, and the pen rolled to the side. He chuckled, "These old foxes, I've never seen them so eager to report on their work on a normal day. It seems they've got a get-out-of-jail-free card today, and they're trying to get all the work that needs to be reported to me in person done in one day. Zhizhi, it looks like we'll both be working overtime today."
Not receiving a response, Cheng Shuyan tilted his head slightly and asked in confusion, "Zhizhi?"
A minute later, Cheng Shuyan saw that Yunzhi was still staring at the computer without blinking, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He stood up, walked around behind Yunzhi, bent down halfway, and put his hands on the table, making it look like he was holding Yunzhi in his arms from behind. "Zhizhi, what are you looking at?"
Cheng Shuyan's sexy and magnetic voice, like a cello, rang in Yunzhi's ears, startling her as she was intently looking at her computer. She turned her head sharply, and Cheng Shuyan's warm lips brushed against her cheek. This unexpected turn of events left both of them stunned.
Cheng Shuyan subconsciously raised his hand to touch the cheek that Yun Zhi's lips had just brushed against. The soft, cotton-candy-like touch made his heart beat faster. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his calm eyes rippled. If you looked closely, you could see the emotions he was about to suppress.
Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, then her fair cheeks instantly turned bright red, like a ripe peach, making one's mouth water. Her beautiful eyes widened, like a frightened little animal in the mountains, making Cheng Shuyan almost unable to resist teasing her further.
"You! When did you get here!" Yunzhi noticed that the two of them were almost touching. She stood up abruptly, pressed her body tightly against the table, and glared at Cheng Shuyan with anger and embarrassment.
Cheng Shuyan stood up, blinked, and looked completely innocent. "Zhizhi, I called you when I came over, but I don't know what you were looking at so intently that you didn't respond at all."
Is there such a thing?
She didn't hear anything at all.
Just as Yunzhi was looking at Cheng Shuyan with suspicion, the system, which had been relatively unresponsive lately, suddenly spoke.
【it is true. 】
Yunzhi, "..."
If the system doesn't speak, no one will treat it as mute.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Before Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan could react, the office door was pushed open from the outside. Secretary Chen stopped after taking another step. For the first time, his usually calm face showed a look of panic and confusion. However, Secretary Chen reacted very quickly and, before Cheng Shuyan could speak, he hurriedly said...
"President, I'm sorry, I didn't know you... I'll go out first and come back later."
As Secretary Chen spoke, he slammed the door shut.
The office returned to calm.
Yunzhi looked at Cheng Shuyan with a blank expression, not understanding why Secretary Chen was reacting so strongly.
Cheng Shuyan coughed lightly, pointed to himself, then to Yunzhi, and gestured the distance between them with his hand. His voice was filled with laughter, "He probably misunderstood something. It's okay, we're upright and have nothing to fear."
What does it mean to have a clear conscience?
Yunzhi's eyes widened as she realized that even standing up, she was still very close to Cheng Shuyan, almost touching him. No wonder Secretary Chen reacted so strongly earlier; he probably thought they were in the office...
The more she thought about it, the more ashamed she felt she would never be able to face anyone again.
She stared at the ceiling in despair. She wondered what Cheng Shuyan's men would think of her now, and how the rumors would spread. Thinking about it, she suddenly realized that helping her brother wasn't such a hard thing after all. Even though she would be bossed around by her brother, it was still better than staying here and dying.
"Zhizhi, you promised to work here with me for a while now. You're not going back on your word, are you?" Cheng Shuyan seemed to see what Yunzhi was thinking, and he looked at her with feigned disappointment.
Yunzhi gave a dry laugh, "How...how could that be? Since I promised you, I wouldn't go back on my word. I was just thinking about how to clarify things with Secretary Chen. Secretary Chen's misunderstanding is also affecting your reputation, isn't it?"
"Zhizhi, it's okay, I don't mind." Cheng Shuyan shook his head seriously, and if he could, he would even like to spread rumors himself.
Yunzhi's lips twitched slightly. She swallowed the words "I can't" with difficulty, gave an awkward smile, and turned away, trying to use work to cover up her nervousness.
Yunzhi glanced at the things on the computer and instantly realized it was something important she had forgotten. Before she could speak, Cheng Shuyan spoke up as if by telepathy. Although he was curious, he had not looked at Yunzhi's computer contents without her permission.
"Zhizhi, what were you looking at just now? You seemed so focused on it."
"Shuyan, I was just about to tell you, take a look at this." Yunzhi disregarded the awkwardness from just now, pointed to the computer, and made room for Cheng Shuyan to see it.
Seeing Yunzhi's serious expression, Cheng Shuyan also dropped his previous frivolous demeanor. When he looked down at the bold black title on the computer screen, he frowned.
#Jinshang Tiancheng, Hongshanhu, Mingzhucheng, and other residential complexes were exposed overnight for changing property management companies without the owners' consent. The new property management company is still being searched for, and the situation is currently chaotic. Jinshang Tiancheng has been without power since 8 PM last night and still hasn't had it restored by noon today. Owners have nowhere to turn for help; who will protect consumer rights?#
The three lines of bold text were clearly intended to incite public sentiment.
Jinshang Tiancheng, Hongshanhu, and Mingzhucheng are all residential communities developed by Cheng Shuyan's company.
Cheng Shuyan and Miss Tan had just fallen out, and this kind of news appeared online. It's not hard to guess who the mastermind behind it is. No wonder Yunzhi's face looked so ugly just now.
Cheng Shuyan's expression instantly turned cold. He had already spared Tan's feelings by not exposing the things that Tan's property management company had done to the public. Yet, at this critical juncture, Miss Tan actually tried to sow discord between their company and the homeowners, and even the general public. She truly didn't know what she was getting herself into.
The title uses the word "consumers" to elevate this issue to the level of the general public, implying that if they don't handle it properly, it could lead to significant trouble later.
