Chapter 93 Is it true that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie?

As the knocking sounded, Chen Mo snapped out of his thoughts.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and Manager Li's slightly harsh face appeared in the doorway.

"Minister Chen, are you busy?"

Manager Li walked in and closed the door behind him.

Chen Mo looked at the other person calmly and asked with a smile, "Is there something you need, Manager Li?"

"Nothing much, just came over to chat."

Supervisor Li sat down in the chair opposite Chen Mo and said, "Speaking of which, Minister Chen is really riding high lately, 2..."

He was promoted several ranks in a single month.

"The restructuring of the technology department has been entirely entrusted to you by General Manager Shen. That level of trust is truly impressive."

"."

""

Chen Mo didn't reply, but just looked at him quietly.

This guy isn't here just to cause trouble, is he?

That's incredibly stupid.

Doesn't he know that he's now a minister and his superior?

Sure enough, the next second, Manager Li continued on his own: "However, there are some things I feel I should kindly remind Minister Chen about."

After all, we've worked together for so many years. Although we've had some minor work-related conflicts, we still have a bond. Compared to outsiders, I always believe we should be closer.

"Just say what you want to say."

Chen Mo said calmly, "With me, there's no need to beat around the bush or try to build any emotional connection. I'm already being kind by not targeting you."

That's why I'm telling you this news in advance.

Manager Li leaned forward and lowered his voice, saying, "I heard that a new head of the technology department will be parachuted into the company next week, taking the position reserved for you."

Chen Mo's eyes flickered slightly.

Observing his reaction, Manager Li continued, "This new minister is no ordinary person. It is said that he was personally recommended by the chairman and has five years of management experience in a well-known overseas technology company."

"At that point, your position as vice minister will probably be in a rather awkward position."

The office was silent for a few seconds.

Chen Mo tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, then asked, "I wonder where Manager Li heard this news from?"

"Well—"

Manager Li smiled and shook his head, saying, "I can't say where the information comes from, but I can guarantee that it is absolutely true."

The new minister will take office next Monday, and the official appointment document will be issued then, at which point you will know.

Chen Mo looked into Manager Li's eyes, a thought flickering in his mind.

The [Insight] skill is quietly activated.

In his view, Manager Li's expressions and body language were magnified countless times.

Based on the analysis of his micro-expressions, it's unlikely he wasn't lying.

Chen Mo regained his composure and said calmly, "Since it's something that can be verified immediately, Manager Li has no reason to lie to me."

I'm just curious, how did you find out in advance?

Manager Li's smile deepened: "Minister Chen is a smart man. Some things don't need to be said too explicitly."

I saw how hard you've been working lately, only to be taken advantage of and let someone else reap the rewards. I felt bad for you, so I thought I'd give you a heads-up so you could be mentally prepared.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Manager Li. I understand."

"Don't mention it."

Manager Li stood up, straightened the hem of his suit jacket, and smiled, "Actually, I've always thought Minister Chen is a capable person."

However, sometimes, no matter how capable you are, it can't compare to having strong connections.

You took our place, but now someone else has taken yours, hasn't that happened?"

"You don't need to worry about my affairs, Manager Li."

Chen Mo said expressionlessly, "Even if I'm a vice minister, I'm still your superior, a higher-ranking one. Don't compare me to you; we're not the same."

'

Upon hearing this, Manager Li's face showed mild anger, but he still managed to restrain himself.

He walked to the door, then turned back and added coldly.

"By the way, President Shen must have known about this a long time ago."

After all, as the direct supervisor of the vice president, she couldn't possibly be unaware of personnel appointments. As for why she didn't tell you—figure it out yourself.

After saying that, he opened the door and left, leaving Chen Mo alone in the office.

The moment the door closed, a slight ripple appeared on Chen Mo's calm face.

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and his mind raced.

From what Manager Li said, he knew what the other party's purpose was.

They were simply trying to win me over to help them deal with the new minister, while simultaneously trying to sow discord between me and Shen Qingyue.

It must be said that his words did have some effect on me.

A new minister has been appointed.

The chairman introduced him.

Shen Qingyue already knew.

These three pieces of information are linked together to form a clear logical chain.

Chen Mo opened his eyes, feeling somewhat annoyed.

It wasn't that he couldn't accept being promoted to deputy minister, but rather that if the matter had been decided long ago and a ministerial candidate had already been chosen, why didn't Shen Qingyue tell him at the time?

Or rather, why lie to him?

Why not just say it directly?

Chen Mo recalled the conversation he had in Shen Qingyue's office that day.

She sat behind that large desk, looking at me with sincere eyes.

"We originally wanted to promote you directly to department head, but company policy stipulates that exceptional promotions require more time."

Therefore, you are temporarily appointed as the deputy minister, but you will be fully responsible for the daily management and restructuring of the technology department.

"Once you achieve results, I'll officially give you a permanent position."

Her tone was so sincere, and her eyes were so clear.

But now that I think about it, maybe it was just a performance.

A performance intended to appease him and get him to keep working himself to the bone.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Chen Mo's lips.

Damn it!

Is it true that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie?

Forget it.

If that's the case, then let's part ways amicably.

It's better not to go to this class.

Then I'll have more time to do what I like.

For example, writing novels, studying antiques, even investing in stocks, or traveling all over the country.

After graduating and working for so many years, he was indeed quite tired.

More importantly, now that he has the system, he doesn't need to live just to survive.

He is now capable of enjoying life, not just surviving.

Chen Mo took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

My emotions didn't fluctuate much, but some of my thoughts have completely changed.

He sat up straight again, turned on his computer, paused for a few seconds on the keyboard, and then continued typing.

Regardless, today's work still needs to be completed.

This is his principle in life.

Meanwhile, in the technical department's office area.

Wang Qing stared at the stock quotes on her computer screen, unable to hide the smile on her face.

The new energy stock she bought yesterday, following Chen Mo's lead, rose another 4.7% today.

Since the purchase, the cumulative increase has exceeded 10%.

She invested 120,000 yuan, and now her account shows a profit of over 12,000 yuan.

"Wang Qing, what's making you so happy?"

Xiao Zhao, who works at the next desk, peeked over and asked, "You've been smiling since this morning."

Wang Qing quickly composed herself, but couldn't help but smile and say, "It's nothing, I'm just in a good mood."

"Come on, something's definitely up."

Old Zhang, working at the opposite workstation, joined the conversation, tentatively asking, "Are you dating someone? With Minister Chen?"

"No, no!"

Wang Qing waved her hands repeatedly and said, "It's something else."

Several colleagues gathered around, eager to gossip.

"Tell me quickly, what happened?"

Wang Qing glanced around and lowered her voice, saying, "I'm telling you, don't go spreading this around."

"I promise I won't tell!"

"actually----"

Wang Qing said mysteriously, "I've been buying stocks with Minister Chen these past two days and I've made a profit."

7

"Buy stocks?"

Old Zhang, standing to the side, frowned and said, "Minister Chen knows about stocks?"

"It's more than just understanding!"

Wang Qing's voice unconsciously rose as she said, "He's practically a stock market genius! I bought two stocks following his advice, and sold one yesterday, making over ten thousand yuan."

The other one is going up again today; I've already made over four thousand!

The office fell silent for a few seconds.

Then someone whispered, "Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

Wang Qing opened her securities account, pulled up the transaction records to show everyone, and said, "Look, this is the purchase record, and this is the sale record."

I bought this new energy stock for 120,000 yuan, and it's now worth over 124,000 yuan.

Several colleagues gathered around to look, and the screen clearly displayed the transaction details and the profit and loss of the positions.

"My God, 16,000 yuan in two days?" a young technician exclaimed.

"That's an incredibly high rate of return!"

"Wang Qing, is Minister Chen really that capable?"

Wang Qing put away her phone and said with a proud look, "Of course! You have no idea how amazing Minister Chen is."

He can not only buy quality stocks, but also predict stock trends.

He warned me the day before yesterday that that tech stock was going to drop, so I quickly sold it, and sure enough, it plummeted 8% at the opening yesterday!

She became more and more excited as she spoke, embellishing her account of her precise operations in the stock market.

The people in the office were stunned.

Some people looked on with envy, while others were skeptical.

"Wang Qing, are you bragging?"

A female programmer in her thirties asked doubtfully, "If Minister Chen were really that capable, he would have been rich long ago. Why would he be working here?"

These words resonated with many people.

Wang Qing retorted, unconvinced, "Sister Liu, you don't understand. True masters are always low-key."

Minister Chen is capable, but he doesn't flaunt it.

Besides, he also has his own business to run within the company; stock trading is just a way to earn extra money.

"That's true—" Sister Liu said thoughtfully.

Another colleague, a seasoned stock market investor, spoke up: "Wang Qing, which stock is Minister Chen currently bullish on? Could you tell us?"

"this----"

Wang Qing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll show you my stocks, but I don't understand them either."

"New energy?"

The veteran stock market investor was somewhat surprised when he saw Wang Qing's phone screen.

"Didn't everyone say that new energy stocks were going to drop recently?"

"I don't know either, but I bought it following Minister Chen's instructions."

Wang Qing said, "If you trust him, then buy with me; if you don't, then forget it. Anyway, I added some more this morning."

.

A brief silence fell over the office.

Then someone started to take action.

Old Zhang took out his phone, opened the securities app, and said, "I'll trust Minister Chen this once; I'll buy 5,000 yuan worth to test the waters."

"I'll buy some too."

Sister Liu said, "Anyway, all the other stocks have been losing money lately, so maybe we can make money by switching to a different direction."

Several other veteran stock investors gritted their teeth and followed Wang Qing's lead, buying some new energy stocks as well.

With the help of senior employees, the new intern opened a securities account and cautiously invested several thousand yuan.

Just like Wang Qing said, even if we really lose money, there's not much of a loss.

Of course, some people insist on not believing it.

"Making money in the stock market is not that easy."

A middle-aged programmer wearing glasses shook his head and said, "If Chen Mo is really that amazing, I think he's just lucky."

"Exactly, if you're that good, why would you need to work?"

"Be careful, or you'll regret it when you lose money."

Wang Qing watched her colleagues enthusiastically discussing stocks and felt a pang of regret.

Will her publicizing this so much cause trouble for Chen Mo?

Feeling a little uneasy, she decided to talk to Chen Mo.

In the afternoon, Wang Qing came to Chen Mo's office and asked with a smile, "Minister Chen, are you busy?"

"fine."

Chen Mo looked up from his computer screen, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"that----"

Wang Qing closed the door, walked to her desk, and said, "There's something I need to tell you."

"explain."

"Well—I told my colleagues in the office today about how I made money by following your stock trading advice."

Wang Qing's voice trailed off as she said, "Then some people followed my lead and bought some new energy stocks—you're not angry, are you?"

'

Chen Mo remained silent for a few seconds.

Wang Qing's heart jumped.

To her surprise, Chen Mo wasn't angry; he simply asked calmly, "How many people bought it?"

"About seven or eight."

Wang Qing answered cautiously, "It's all small-scale stuff, at most less than ten thousand yuan."

Chen Mo nodded: "Understood."

"You're not angry?" Wang Qing asked, somewhat surprised.

"What's there to be angry about?"

Chen Mo said with a smile, "But the stock market is risky, and you need to be cautious when investing. Did you tell them that? If they lose money, I won't be responsible."

"I already said it!"

Wang Qing quickly nodded and said, "I specifically emphasized that investment involves risks, and told them to act within their means."

"That's good."

Chen Mo looked back at the computer screen and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Wang Qing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Minister Chen, are you in a bad mood?"

Chen Mo paused in his typing: "Why do you ask that?"

"It's just that you seem unusually quiet today."

Wang Qing tentatively said, "You're usually not very talkative, but today you seem particularly—particularly distant."

'

'

Chen Mo did not answer.

The office was so quiet you could hear the computer fans running.

A sense of unease welled up in Wang Qing's heart.

She wanted to ask something more, but Chen Mo had already lowered his head and continued working, clearly indicating that he wanted to see her out.

"Well then—I'll head out now."

It's 6 PM, time to get off work.

Chen Mo turned off his computer, tidied his desk, and left the office.

The colleagues in the technical department were still discussing stock market trends when they saw Chen Mo come out. They awkwardly lowered their heads and pretended to be working.

That's the good thing about being a leader; you get to work overtime.

Chen Mo didn't mind them slacking off, because that was a normal thing.

Stepping out of the company gate, Chen Mo stood by the roadside, looking at the bustling streets, and suddenly didn't want to go home.

Why don't we go find Lin Wei?

When I'm in a bad mood, it seems like the only thing I can do is go to her.

Finally, Chen Mo hailed a taxi and headed straight for the other party's new home.

Compared to the apartment I rented, Lin Wei's place seemed to give me a warmer feeling of home.
