Chapter 169: The Dead Duck is Back in Business!

tub, scrubbing frantically at the red marks on her skin, feeling as if the world had turned gray.Last night, she attended a banquet with her family. Her half-sister gave her a glass of wine, and after...Zhang Xiao, after all, was a manager. As soon as he spoke, the other junior employees readily agreed.

If Du Ming really was a high-ranking official of Shengshi, by flattering and befriending him, wouldn't promotions and raises be a sure thing in the future

Immediately, someone said, "Manager Zhang, Mr. Du's status is extraordinary, we'll have to come up with a new way of addressing him in the future..."

"Yes, call him Du Shao! When people come to our marketing department, they are here to experience life."

"Now we're colleagues, who knows what the future holds Maybe in a while he'll go home and inherit his family fortune. By then, even our big boss will have to toast him!"

Everyone was extremely flattering. When Du Ming casually mentioned that he was thirsty, someone immediately brought him a cup of water. Even when he wanted a cigarette, two or three male employees offered their lighters.

Du Ming was relishing the feeling of being surrounded by so much attention. It was well worth renting this Maybach.

However, there are also a few who are not tactful, besides Li Bochen, there is another male colleague named Zhou Kai'an.

The two were sitting opposite each other. Zhou Kai'an was a few years older than Li Boheng. Looking at everyone fawning over Du Ming, he scoffed, "A pack of sycophants, they've turned the planning department into a chaotic mess!"

Li Bochen secretly sized up Zhou Kai'an. Zhou Kai'an had good work ability, but he wasn't good at socializing. Last year, during an assessment, he was originally passing and could have been promoted with a raise, but Zhang Xiao forcefully declared him a failure in the assessment. However, behind closed doors, he gave him the most troublesome tasks.

In Li Bochen's opinion, Zhou Kai'an was a talented person.

"Now they've all distanced themselves from me because of Du Ming. Aren't you afraid of being implicated"

When Li Bochen first arrived at the company, he attracted attention because of his extraordinary temperament. However, as Du Ming flaunted his wealth day after day, and Zhang Xiao was convinced that he was the executive arranged by Shengshi, many people distanced themselves from Li Bochen.

Zhou Kai'an was taken aback. He hadn't thought that Li Bochen was a high-ranking executive at Shengshi, he had just simply disliked Du Ming.

A wry smile.

Even if I distance myself from you, they will still ostracize me. I'm used to it.

Li Boheng looked deeply at Zhou Kai'an, "Do well, if there is a chance in the future, Zhang Xiao's position will be yours."

Zhou Kai'an felt a deep sense of melancholy.

After being suppressed by Zhang Xiao for so long, he no longer held any hope for a promotion.

The reason I haven't resigned yet is that I've been at HTC for a long time and have a sense of belonging.

"Let's just leave it at that. I will probably stay at HTC for the rest of my life."

"Don't get discouraged too early." Li Boche glanced at Zhang Xiao and Du Ming, "They can't jump around for too long."

Zhou Kai'an, upon hearing this, felt a sudden surge of warmth in his chest. Although Li Bochen spoke in a calm tone, there was an undeniable power to his words, a conviction that compelled him to agree and submit. Could there be more to him than met the eye

……

Although Luo Ningxi didn't send any more messages to Li Bichen, she felt restless and agitated. Even when reviewing the documents sent by her secretary, she seemed to see the three words "Li Bichen" everywhere.

Damn Li Bohan, he even sent breakfast but doesn't know how to say a few nice words to coax her

Just then, her phone suddenly rang. Luo Ningxi reflexively looked at it, and it was Luna calling.

At this time, Luna called. Could it be that Li Bochen was in trouble

Lu Ningxi frowned and became tense again, pressing the answer key, "Hello"

Luna was very quiet over there, her voice as gentle as always, "Xixi, are you alright"

"I'm fine, don't worry." Luo Ningxi nodded slightly and then tentatively asked, "You called me now, did something happen to Li Chen"

"No, he's been performing flawlessly recently. Zhang Xiao wants to find fault but can't. However..."

A sudden turn of events made Luo Ningxi’s heart skip a beat. She pressed on, "But what"

“Xixi, Li Chen left early yesterday afternoon and was an hour late this morning. His face looked especially bad, as if he were very tired. Didn't you wear him out” Luna’s eyes flickered, she smiled playfully and asked, every word full of veiled probing.

Luna originally wanted to ask Li Bochen what he did for those few hours every night when he didn't go home...

But these words fell on Luo Ningxi's ears, completely changing!

Being late and leaving early, the next day I was especially tired, as if I had been drained...

A buzzing filled Luo Ningxi's ears, like countless bees swarming and converging into a possibility that threatened to shatter her mind.

The dead duck is back to its old tricks!ng and falling rapidly as if he was about to faint the next second.Jingya, who was beside him, quickly reacted, “Husband, we should call the police right away. Maybe we can still find Xue Shenming and...
