Chapter 10: The Scheming Money-Worshipping Substitute
The scale of the Shenshen Food Company's factory is not small in City C. After getting off the high-speed train in Linzhi, I took a taxi to the factory gate and found it unexpectedly empty. It was obviously a food factory, but there were not many vehicles carrying goods in and out.

She was confused for a moment, then walked over to explain her identity to the guard. The guard made a phone call and then sent her to the office.

The person in charge was a middle-aged man with a greasy face. He knew why she came and smiled: "Financial report for the first half of the year, right? No problem, I'll have someone get it in a while. Miss Lin, you've worked hard all the way here. How about this, I'll take you to taste the local specialties of City C at noon."

As she spoke, she called two young people, a man and a woman, to come over and escort her out. Lin Zhi felt a little uncomfortable.

But it was hard to refuse, so I went together.

During the dinner, Mr. Zhang kept asking about her identity and whether she had any relatives in Dongning. When he found out that she had none, Hexu's attitude suddenly became condescending and his words became nonchalant.

"Ms. Lin is so beautiful, do you have a boyfriend?" She raised her glass and said, "Come on, have a drink."

Lin Zhi was a little disgusted and refused with a fake smile: "I don't drink, Mr. Zhang, the company needs it urgently, when can you give me the documents so that I can go back and report earlier."

She didn't intend to talk too much with this kind of person. She had already remembered that Zhou Congli had a meeting yesterday.

Someone mentioned "Shenzhen Food", saying that its efficiency has been declining in recent years and whether it should be restructured. However, another shareholder felt that there was no need to keep such a non-profitable factory.

It just so happened that Zhou Congli had already set his eyes on a big project that required a lot of funds, so he sold the food company and invested the money into it.

This matter was only mentioned once in the meeting, and then other things were discussed, so no final decision was made.

But she just saw that it was such a big food factory, but the employees were lazy and it seemed like they were not working. It was obvious that the factory's profits were not very good.

As the person in charge of the food factory, Mr. Zhang was well fed and had done a lot of things to enrich himself. He saw that she was not thinking about completing the work, but about building relationships.

It turned out that she had no background, and they changed their attitude immediately. It was obvious that this factory had no future.

Mr. Zhang smiled but his face was not smiling: "As expected of a talent from a big company, you are always resolute in doing things. But Xiaolin, in society, each industry has its own rules. You are likely to offend people by doing this."

Lin Zhi smiled and said nothing.

Mr. Zhang was annoyed when he saw that she was not sensible. "It seems that Miss Lin is not going to give me this face today. Haha, then I will not bother Miss Lin and leave first."

When the two assistants saw him leaving angrily, one chased after him while the other sent Linzhi to the hotel.

Lin Zhi asked the female assistant how long it would take for the people from City A to complete the handover, but the other party was vague and said it depended on the superior's intention.

As a result, Linzhi waited for a whole day but was told that there was too much information and it was a bit troublesome so he needed to wait a while.

She frowned, thinking that Mr. Zhang was doing this on purpose, and she had no choice but to go out for dinner.

"Linzhi?" someone called her.

Lin Zhi turned around and saw Assistant Zhang carrying his luggage and preparing to check in.

She was a little surprised and walked over: "Assistant Zhang, why are you here?" She looked at his things and smiled, "On a business trip?"

Assistant Zhang nodded and said, "I'm accompanying the president on a business trip, so why are you here? You seem to be at work today." He looked like he was asking for leave to have fun.

Lin Zhi smiled bitterly: "I am here on a business trip as well."

Assistant Zhang's eyes widened instantly, and Lin Zhi told him about coming here to get the report. Assistant Zhang recalled: "Manager Wang, I did mention this to the president. This food factory is an old brand, but it seems to be not doing well. The efficiency has been very low, and the president also wants to stop it."

"But your supervisor is really confused to let you, an intern, go on a business trip."

Lin Zhi just smiled at this: "Is the president also here on business?"

Assistant Zhang: "There is a project, come here to inspect it." Lin Zhi blinked: "Is the president here?"

"I'm still chatting with the other party. I'll check in first." Assistant Zhang just finished speaking.

A car stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Three people got out, one of them ran over to open the back door, bowed and said, "Mr. Zhou, please..."

A long leg stepped down, revealing a narrow waist and broad shoulders. He was wearing a well-tailored suit, and his eyes were as clear and steady as always on his handsome face.

Assistant Zhang hurried over: "President."

Zhou Congli said "hmm" and saw Lin Zhi standing not far away. Lin Zhi walked over and said, "President."

She was on a business trip today, so the clothes she brought were simple and elegant, showing off her slender waist and plump chest. She also put on light makeup on her face, which was a very normal outfit.

But the three men saw something wrong in her eyes, and hurriedly said hello, "Mr. Zhou, we won't disturb you anymore, and will invite you to the factory tomorrow."

The car came quickly and left quickly. The three of them stood at the door awkwardly, and Assistant Zhang hurried to check in.

Zhou Congli asked her as he entered the hotel: "Why are you here?"

Lin Zhi had no choice but to follow: "On a business trip."

Zhou Congli glanced at her and frowned: "You are an intern, who asked you to go on a business trip?"

Lin Zhi blinked her innocent eyes: "Sister Mei from our department, she probably saw that I was the most idle in the office, so she asked me to come." Although she was not sure whether Zhou Congli would ask about it, it did not affect her to make a small complaint.

Now that she is not alone, running around all day, she is a little worried that something might happen to the fetus.

Zhou Congli nodded: "Which company?"

“Deepen the Food Factory.”

Zhou Congli said nothing more and entered the hotel. Assistant Zhang had just checked in and was waiting with his belongings.

He asked where Lin Zhi lived, and when he heard that it was a bit far from here, a standard hotel, he asked Assistant Zhang to book another room: "Stay here."

Lin Zhi had no objection. If she could stay in a five-star hotel, she would not be stupid enough to insist on staying in a small hotel. She took Assistant Zhang to get her luggage.

After everything was cleaned up, Assistant Zhang heard that she was going to eat, so he asked the president, and in the end the three of them went together. They chose a restaurant and ordered food. She followed Assistant Zhang and busied herself with washing dishes and scalding chopsticks.

Zhou Congli had been looking at his phone. He only put it down after the food came and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

However, Linzhi's face turned unhappy when she saw the fish on the table.

I endured the discomfort and just ate the vegetables next to me.

"Not to your taste?" Zhou Congli looked at her and asked in a calm voice.

Assistant Zhang quickly said, "Can I get the menu over here so you can order some new ones?" Then he was about to stand up.

Lin Zhi shook her head: "No, I haven't had a good appetite lately." However, when she saw the white fish meat, she couldn't help it.

He covered his mouth and ran to the bathroom, vomiting all over the place.
