I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 42 Mental Consumption

night.

Qin Fen lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

His thoughts were still on the memories of the three of them eating McDonald's together today.

Qin Fen suddenly thought of a question.

That is……

Why did he invite Ye Li to eat McDonald's, but Ye Li was unwilling to try it, so he placed the order for him and told him to eat by himself?

But Su Cheng is present, so why is Ye Li willing to try?

And there’s the matter of buying a car!
Sister Li and Brother Cheng didn’t even tell me!
Has their friendship capsized?

No, no.

Brother Cheng has already explained it.

Before buying the car, Brother Cheng didn't tell anyone. He might have wanted to give Sister Li a surprise.

If he and Su Cheng both asked for leave at the same time and took away Sister Li's bonus, the smart Sister Li would easily guess that they were going to buy a car.

Moreover, Su Cheng bought it with a loan, so he might not be very proud of it.

Ok……

In fact, if Brother Cheng told him, he could make up for that part of the loan.

This way you don't have to take out a loan.

Maybe Brother Cheng thinks that he and I are not at the stage where we need to talk about money yet?
After all, they only met after entering Shengyue, which is only two years.

Su Cheng and Ye Li seemed to have known each other since college, longer than he had.

What he was thinking about didn't seem to matter.

Although they didn't eat McDonald's together, Sister Li invited him to watch a concert, but Brother Cheng was not present at the concert.

Forget it, let’s stop wasting time.

Anyway, he was quite happy being with Su Cheng and Ye Li.

Qin Fen had almost no friends during his school years, so he was very sensitive.

Now Qin Fen likes the atmosphere of their small group of three.

Noon the next day.

Nearing lunch time, Ye Li sent a message in the group.

Ye Li: [Mai? ]
Qin Fen: [Mai!]
Su Cheng: [Mai!]
……

Nothing much happened in their company these days.

If there was anything, it was that Ye Li helped Su Cheng write and submit his reading notes on "Wolf Nature".

At the same time, the acquisition of another beauty company is progressing rapidly.

Su Cheng also took advantage of this opportunity to ask Wang Zhiying out alone.

To be on the safe side, Su Sheng chose Tang Li's cafe as the venue.

He didn't sit in the lobby, but in the manager's office.

Su Cheng and Wang Zhiying arrived at the cafe one after another, about thirty minutes apart, and Tang Li arranged their "secret meeting".

As soon as they met, Su Cheng started joking with Wang Zhiying.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wang, from now on you will be a member of our Dihao Group."

"You curse again!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

After Su Cheng finished his opening remarks, he started talking about business with Wang Zhiying.

Since Wang Zhiying has become a member of the Dihao Group, it is inevitable that there will be some intersections in the future.

Su Cheng hopes that Wang Zhiying will pretend not to be very familiar with her in the future.

Not just now, but in all public occasions in the future.

Wang Zhiying said in a thunderous tone: "Are we familiar with each other now?"

Su Cheng:......

She couldn't help laughing: "Brother, you don't think that just because you invited me to a concert, we become close friends, do you?"

"Ah, aren't we familiar with each other yet?"

"Not familiar!"

"I thought we were acquainted."

"Not familiar!"

Wang Zhiying saw Su Cheng's serious expression and immediately changed her attitude: "Okay, okay, I was just kidding."

"But I want to know why."

"Are you worried that your girlfriend will get jealous?"

"That's not the case. Just a small favor for me. Can you agree?"

"You have to tell me the real reason."

"The reason..." Su Cheng was quick-witted and made up a lie. "Look, you're already a member of the group. The group doesn't allow those kinds of cliques, let alone the exchange of interests."

"If we get too close, it might lead to some unnecessary investigations."

Wang Zhiying clearly didn't believe Su Cheng's explanation: "Then why did you invite me to the concert?"

"Why, can't I?"

"Do you want to pick me up?" Su Cheng:???
He asked Wang Zhiying to watch a concert mainly to advance their relationship and then to inquire about the company's acquisition case.

To be honest, Su Cheng has obtained a lot of information and intelligence through Wang Zhiying, which is very useful for his current situation.

"Look, he didn't charge me for consulting, invited me to a concert, and even made dirty talk with me. Today, he had another secret meeting."

From Wang Zhiying's perspective, all of Su Cheng's actions point to one meaning.

"Fuck, no no..."

"Just admit it."

Su Cheng: ???
recognition?

Isn’t it the same as confessing his feelings if he admits it?

Who would confess his love to his stepmother?

"Just confess your feelings, what if I agree?"

Su Cheng was a little hesitant and conflicted.

If he admitted it, he could explain all his actions as being just for the sake of being with her.

But if he denied it, he might appear hypocritical and scheming in front of Wang Zhiying.

Even after Su Cheng denied it, Wang Zhiying would most likely not follow Su Cheng's way of pretending that they were not familiar with each other, but would directly cut off contact, turning the fake unfamiliarity into real unfamiliarity.

In that case, the clue that Su Cheng had worked so hard to find would be broken, and there would even be a risk of exposing herself after she took office.

"Okay, Sister Zhiying."

"Then I admit it."

Wang Zhiying smiled evilly, with an expression of success on her face.

"Sorry, I don't like the younger brother type."

Su Cheng: ???
"Just to reject me?"

"Yup!"

Grass!
I was deceived by this bad woman Wang Zhiying!

Although he was a little angry, Su Cheng also felt relieved at the same time.

If Wang Zhiying really agreed, Su Cheng would not know how to get along with her in the future.

What is this?

Intercept? ?
Su Cheng looked at her giggling and tried to deny it: "I'm not the younger brother type."

"Oh? So what's your type?"

"You'll know later."

……

……

Sheng Yue.

Deng Qiang knocked on the door and entered an office.

"Manager Zhang, are you looking for me?"

"Well, Xiao Deng is here, please sit down."

Zhang Chengze.

The department head of Shengyue Consulting Company, with a job level of K9, is Deng Qiang's immediate superior.

"Xiao Deng, your team has been doing pretty well lately. One of our coffee shop cases was even listed as a pawnshop."

"It's all thanks to your wise guidance, Director Zhang."

Deng Qiang began to flatter Zhang Chengze: "Director Zhang, please feel free to assign any tasks. We are all your subordinates."

"Well, there is a job."

"Headquarters handed over a case, and I'm considering which team to assign it to."

Deng Qiang was secretly delighted when he heard this.

Since Zhang Chengze said this in front of him, he must be giving it to him.

Although the money from internal cases at headquarters is not much, it can be of great help to internal job rankings.

If the work is done well and the plan is adopted by the headquarters, it will be a disguised affirmation of your business capabilities, and promotion is a foregone conclusion.

The position of deputy director of the consulting department has been vacant for more than half a year and no one has taken it.

"Manager Zhang, please feel free to leave it to our team and we will definitely satisfy you!"

"Satisfying me isn't the goal; the main goal is to satisfy the headquarters."

"Yes, yes, we promise to satisfy the headquarters."

Seeing this, Zhang Chengze slowly opened the first drawer on the right, took out a file and handed it to Deng Qiang.

This case was actually assigned to Deng Qiang's team by the headquarters.

However, Deng Qiang had no idea where to go.

Zhang Chengze's performance was considered as a favor to Deng Qiang.

There will be another major personnel adjustment in the second half of the year. If Deng Qiang does well, he will be promoted to deputy director.

The previous deputy director was always hindering him, which really gave him a headache.

I'm giving Deng Qiang some face this time so that I can manage things myself when he takes over.

"You must do your job well and absolutely cannot make any mistakes!"
