Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Qu Tong frowned.

She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, preparing to call Zhou Fengliu to ask about the situation.

She was on the phone when her eyes fell upon the table of food Zhou Fengliu had meticulously prepared for her, now cold...

What a thoughtful man...

She sighed to herself, and then her mood became even more annoyed.

This man was so devoted, yet Feng Shayan managed to steal him away from her...

Do they really think Qu Tong has no temper?

Toot——

the other side.

Zhou Fengliu had just fallen asleep when he vaguely heard the phone ringing. He opened his eyes, saw that it was Qu Tong calling, and answered it.

"Hey..."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's voice, Qu Tong felt a little relieved.

"Zhou...where are you now? Are you alright? Feng Shayan didn't do anything to you, did she?"

Listening to Qu Tong's three questions in a row, the dazed Zhou Fengliu didn't sense anything was wrong. He casually replied to Qu Tong as usual and then hung up the phone.

Sensing the coldness in Zhou Fengliu's tone, Qu Tong fell silent after the call was disconnected.

Although Zhou Fengliu kept saying that everything was fine and Feng Shayan hadn't done anything, she could tell something from Zhou Fengliu's tone...

Feng Shayan must have done something to cause Zhou Fengliu, who was usually so gentle with her, to turn cold...

She deserves to die...

Qu Tong was silent for a few seconds, then dialed another number.

"Hey, three minutes... I need all of Tianxia Group's recent winning bids... and all of Feng Shayan's information, including her daily schedule and action plans."

As soon as the call connected, Qu Tong issued her orders crisply and efficiently... It was clear she was ordering Feng Shayan a "good juice"...

Since they dared to steal the person she loved from her, they should be prepared to be killed...

...

Qu Tong is currently making grand preparations to deal with Tianxia Group and Feng Shayan...

She's still the same Qu Tong, except... her plans seem to have gone a little off track.

Originally... she planned to make Zhou Fengliu fall at her feet and become her servant, thus making him the new spy for Na Du Tong, and to have him cooperate in bringing Ruan Feng out...

But for some reason... the plan has inexplicably veered off course, with Feng Shayan stealing her beloved, and she choosing to deal with Feng Shayan and the Tianxia Group...

It can only be said that President Qu personally used his dual-wielding skills to transform himself into Zhou Fengliu's shape...

...

The next day.

Headquarters is accessible from anywhere.

Zhou Fengliu had barely stepped into his office and hadn't even settled into his seat when Zhuge Qing knocked on his office door.

"Mr. Zhou... President Zhao wants to see you."

Zhuge Qing spoke very cautiously to Zhou Fengliu.

Ever since he whispered something behind Zhou's back and got criticized by Chen Duo, resulting in him inexplicably having a lot of extra work, he dared not joke with Director Zhou anymore.

A higher rank can crush a person, and Zhou Fengliu is now not just one rank higher, but one and a half ranks higher.

...

P.S.: I pray for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

Chapter 456 Zhou Fengliu: I apologize, I'm too eager to improve... (First update)

Hearing Zhuge Qing's words, Zhou Fengliu nodded to indicate that he understood. He then glanced at Zhuge Qing again and asked:

"Old Qing, how's the workload lately?"

"Okay, Jay Chou, that's awesome..."

Faced with Zhou Fengliu's trap, Zhuge Qing gave a thumbs up, expressing how correct Zhou Fengliu's decision to assign him work was...

Now, his back doesn't ache, his legs don't hurt, and he doesn't even have time to overthink things. His inner demons have no chance to take hold...

Zhuge Qing strongly agreed with Zhou Fengliu's words, saying that he didn't believe Zhou Fengliu could be dissatisfied this time.

After hearing Zhuge Qing's answer, Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin and then said:

"Old Qing, I was worried that I would assign you too much work and was thinking of lightening your load, but since you're so busy... then forget it."

"Work hard... Lao Qing."

Zhou Fengliu patted Zhuge Qing on the shoulder and then walked out of the office.

"?"

Watching Zhou Fengliu leave the office, Zhuge Qing remained silent for a few seconds. As he gazed at Zhou Fengliu's departing figure, he silently sighed inwardly:

sloppy.

...

After a moment.

Zhou Fengliu arrived at Zhao Fangxu's office.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw Zhao Fangxu sitting on the sofa. His expression was unreadable, revealing neither joy nor sorrow, but his overall feeling was that something was amiss...

Something must have happened...

Zhou Fengliu made a rough assessment of the situation and then said, "President Zhao, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, Xiao Zhou."

Zhao Fangxu snapped out of his daze and beckoned Zhou Fengliu to come and sit down.

"Mr. Zhao, what happened?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Zhao Fangxu didn't answer directly. He simply adjusted his glasses and then asked a question that could easily offend someone:

"Xiao Zhou, you've been on the board for a while now. Who do you think is the mole on our board?"

"?"

Upon hearing Zhao Fangxu's question, Zhou Fengliu was taken aback.

Zhao Fangxu would never ask such pointed questions about internal matters.

He was somewhat surprised to hear such a pointed question so suddenly today...

Since the leader can ask such a question that is detrimental to unity, it means that the leader has already made a decision...

Zhou Fengliu paused for a second, then answered:

"Mr. Zhao, although I have only been a member of your board of directors for a short time, I don't know these directors very well. I've also been busy with the Nathan Island project lately, so if you ask me, I really don't know."

Faced with Zhou Fengliu's evasive answer, Zhao Fangxu merely glanced at Zhou Fengliu before continuing:

"Xiao Zhou, you are young, capable, outspoken, and decisive. Most importantly... you have a high level of awareness."

"At my age, I won't be in this position for many more years. I personally have high hopes for you..."

“I know your position is different now than before... When you were at the grassroots level, you dared to lead Zhang Chulan and the others to storm the Wang family... Although it was a bit reckless, you had guts... The company needs people like you who dare to take action.”

“But now I see that the sharpness in you… has been somewhat worn down.” Zhao Fangxu said to Zhou Fengliu.

"?"

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's words today, Zhou Fengliu pondered the unspoken meaning behind Zhao Fangxu's words.

Has its sharpness been worn down?

不 ...

His recent actions, whether it's Nathan Island, the Behemoth incident, or the internal board meeting of Nathan's, have all been within Zhao Fangxu's tolerance range; he's been very assertive...

Reflecting on his recent actions and recalling Zhao Fangxu's words just now, Zhou Fengliu roughly understood what Zhao Fangxu meant.

This is making him the bad guy.

Zhao Fangxu probably had a pretty good idea of ​​who the mole was... but the situation within the board of directors was very complicated, and as the chairman of NaDuTong, Zhao Fangxu couldn't be the one to pull the strings...

From this perspective, the implied meaning of those words becomes quite clear:

Xiao Zhou, the mole on the board, we need you to take him down... We need you to uproot the entire network. You'll handle the mess that will offend people, but I'll protect you afterwards...

Zhou Fengliu understood this point and nodded at Zhao Fangxu:

"Mr. Zhao is right, I admit it... I was too eager to improve."

"..."

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's reply, Zhao Fangxu paused for a second.
