"He doesn't think highly of me, so don't set your sights on him."

Bai Chaochao rubbed her messy hair in annoyance, and her good mood disappeared instantly. She turned off the fire in the kitchen and walked towards the room.

The closed door still couldn't block out the mother's constant nagging. She kept complaining that Bai Chaochao was useless and regretted giving birth to an enemy.

Bai Chaochao was about to lose control again and wanted to go out to argue with her mother, but suddenly her cell phone vibrated twice. It was a message from Lou Fan.

"Let's meet tomorrow. I'll introduce you to two reliable clients for buying a house."

When Bai Chaochao heard that there was money to be made, his emotions immediately calmed down. Being a person who only cared about food and not about punishment, he subconsciously ignored his mother's yelling outside the door.

On the other side, Nie Zheng got a ride from Lou Fan and arrived home. Lou Fan happened to be looking for Chong Jianzhi for something. The two of them walked in together and saw Chong Jianzhi reading a report on the sofa.

"Lao Chong, I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss me?"

Chong Jianzhi didn't have time to greet him, let alone listen to his nonsense. When he saw someone coming, he immediately stood up from the sofa and pulled the other person up to the study on the second floor.

Before going upstairs, Chong Jianzhi asked Aunt Wang to make two cups of hot tea and bring them up.

The atmosphere in the study was not as relaxed as before. Lou Fan also became much calmer and his face looked extremely serious.

"I have found out what you asked me to investigate. Li Qing followed Chong Yixing back then and handled a lot of disgusting things for him, and also made a lot of enemies. After your parents got into trouble, Li Qing suddenly stopped following Chong Yixing. He disappeared because he changed his name and went abroad, so you naturally couldn't find him. I guess Chong Yixing must have given him a large sum of money back then. My people found out that he later went to Japan and bought a fishery."

"Where is he now?"

"Now? He's already dead." Lou Fan took out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table and lit it. "You should know that your uncle did business with people in Japan in the early years and had a big feud with several companies. I don't know who leaked the news to them when Li Qing left. Isn't he a sitting duck? The Yamaguchi-gumi knew about it, right? They tied him up and threw him into the high seas. His body was eaten by fish, not even a residue was left."

Chong Jianzhi clenched his fists, his chest suddenly felt a little stuffy, the clue was cut off?

"But I found out that Li Qing had a romantic debt in Ningjiang and had a daughter."

"Didn't his daughter go abroad with him?"

"No. He has a wife and a family. How could he take his mistress and illegitimate child with him?"

"Can you find it?"

"I don't know. I'll try my best." Lou Fan didn't promise easily, but his expression showed that he was confident. He changed the subject and said, "By the way, Nie Zheng, do you know that your parents' car accident might have been man-made?"

"I don't know. Let's wait until things are confirmed."

Chong Jianzhi actually had selfish motives, he just didn't know how to tell Nie Zheng. If the accident that year was really caused intentionally, how should he face Nie Zheng?

"If you ask me, more than a decade has passed. It is almost impossible for that old fox Chong Yixing to leave you any substantial evidence. You left the Chong family four years ago. It is difficult for you to infiltrate the enemy now."

The two were chatting when there was a noise at the door.

Chong Jianzhi became alert and stood up suddenly: "Who? Come in!"

The door slowly opened, and the person standing outside was Nie Zheng.

She was holding two cups of hot tea.

"Auntie Wang was busy just now, so she asked me to bring you some tea."

Chong Jianzhi felt a tightness in his chest. He subconsciously put out the cigarette in his hand and looked at Nie Zheng silently.

He could see that Nie Zheng's expression was so unnatural at the moment. Even though she was trying her best to hide it, her unconsciously trembling lips still betrayed her.

She is too innocent to even lie.

Chong Jianzhi took a sip of the hot tea and found that it was not too hot and tasted just right. He didn't know how long it would take to cool a cup of hot tea, nor did he know how long Nie Zheng had been listening at the door.

After serving the tea, she was reluctant to leave. She stood opposite the two of them, holding the tea tray tightly in her hands. The wooden tray was soaked by the sweat from her palms. As time passed, her feet seemed to be nailed to the floor, unable to move at all.

"What else?"

Chong Jianzhi finally spoke first. He asked even though he knew the answer, betting that Nie Zheng would not ask him.

Sure enough, when Nie Zheng heard Chong Jianzhi asking her, she backed down.

This was a game of chess, and both of them pretended to be ignorant. Nie Zheng was about to ask a question, but suddenly lost her courage.

"Then I'll go out first."

The silent confrontation finally ended. Looking at Nie Zheng's departing back, Chong Jianzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that when the truth came out, he would explain everything to Nie Zheng, and before that day actually came, he still had enough time to think about how to explain everything.

But he didn't know that Nie Zheng had actually made her own choice.

At the end of the three-month internship period, all interns need to submit an application for regularization to the company. As long as they pass the company's final assessment, they can be officially converted to full-time employees.

Monday was the deadline for submitting the application for regularization. She did nothing until the evening.

Before leaving get off work, her supervisor called her to the office and asked her why her regularization application had not yet been sent to her email.

Nie Zheng hesitated for only a few seconds before firmly telling her supervisor, "I don't think I'm suitable for Zhengyue, so... I want to resign."

The supervisor was shocked by Nie Zheng's words. After the last incident, the president's special assistant Richard asked him to meet, and his words were implicitly asking him to take care of the new intern. Richard had also been telling him off during this period. Nie Zheng's promotion was almost a done deal, and everything was just a formality.

But who could have thought that something went wrong on Nie Zheng's side.

Her supervisor was eager to make her a permanent employee, but she sent a resignation report directly to her email.

"Nie Zheng, you need to think carefully. Do you know how many people are trying their best to get into Zhengyue?"

Nie Zheng had already made up her mind. She didn't want to explain too much to her supervisor. She just said that she felt Zheng Yue was not suitable for her, and then left the office.

As soon as Nie Zheng mentioned her resignation, the news reached Richard's ears. Almost at the same time, Chong Jianzhi also learned the news.

After hearing the news, Chong Jianzhi immediately thought of the conversation between himself and Lou Fan last night. He knew that Nie Zheng's resignation must be related to what happened last night.

Immediately, a phone call was made to the supervisor's office. It was Richard who made the call at the instruction of Chong Jianzhi.

"I want Nie Zheng to come to the president's office now."

After hanging up the phone, the supervisor couldn't believe his ears. He panicked and ran to Nie Zheng's workstation to pass on Richard's order to Nie Zheng.

Nie Zheng had several sets of data that she had not sorted out, and her colleagues were eagerly waiting for her to summarize them. Her hands were clacking away on the keyboard, and for some reason she said to her supervisor, "I'm busy now, wait a moment."
