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

"Someone...take him back to rest."

"Yes."

After making arrangements for Ma Xianhong, Qu Tong returned to her office and pondered how to arrange a meeting with Zhou Fengliu.

Seeing that she took out her phone and then dialed the number of Zhao Fangxu, the chairman of Nadutong.

Zhao Fangxu answered the call very quickly.

"Mr. Zhao, it's me, Qu Tong from Yaoxing Society..."

"President Qu, I know what brings you on this call?" Zhao Fangxu said into the phone from his office in the headquarters building of Nadutong.

After hearing Qu Tong's answer, he was silent for a moment, then he pushed up his glasses and said calmly:

"Your Yaoxing Society has pretty good connections..."

"It's all over the industry, how could our Yaoxing Society not know?" Qu Tong replied.

"I can't make that decision for you. You'll have to contact him yourself."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao..."

The phone hangs up.

Qu Tong quickly dialed another number.

The call was made directly to Zhou Fengliu.

"Is that Zhou Fengliu, Director Zhou?"

Upon hearing "Director Zhou" from the other end of the phone, Zhou Fengliu, who had just spoken with Zhang Lingyu, raised an eyebrow slightly.

"you are?"

"I am Qu Tong, the president of Yaoxing Society..."

Zhou Fengliu was somewhat surprised to hear the other party introduce himself.

Qu Tong, how dare you call him?

Isn't this like Kun offering New Year's greetings to a weasel, or something else entirely?

"Oh, President Qu, I know, I know. Why are you calling me so late? What's the matter?" Zhou Fengliu asked.

"Well, we at Yaoxing Society heard that you were recently promoted to a director of Nadutong, so we'd like to conduct a very brief interview with you..."

"I've already consulted with Mr. Zhao about this matter, so when would you be available?"

Qu Tong also went straight to the point and extended an invitation to Zhou Fengliu.

As the head of a private intelligence agency within the industry, using an interview as a pretext to build a closer relationship...isn't that reasonable?

Qu Tong believes that most capable people are simply pursuing power and fame.

She didn't believe Zhou Fengliu would refuse any interview that was positive and conducive to building a positive image.

She was fantasizing that Zhou Fengliu would readily agree, but unexpectedly, after hearing what she said about the interview, the person on the other end of the phone asked her a question in return.

"An exclusive interview? That depends on your sincerity. Are you sincere enough?"

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words about sincerity, Qu Tong replied, "Of course, we are full of sincerity."

(A silence that lasts for two seconds)

"Director Zhou?" Qu Tong asked when Zhou Fengliu did not reply.

"Well, I don't think you're very sincere. I've been very busy lately and don't have time for an interview."

Seeing that Qu Tong wasn't entirely sincere, Zhou Fengliu also chose to refuse.

"I'm hanging up now..."

"and many more..."

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu say that his sincerity was only so-so, Qu Tong realized that Zhou Fengliu had been waiting for her to offer her a bargaining chip.

As the head of an intelligence agency, someone who had navigated the upper echelons of society, she naturally knew what Zhou Fengliu meant by "sincerity"...

It's called sincerity, but in reality it's about self-interest...

Hearing Qu Tong express her sincerity, Zhou Fengliu did not accept it immediately.

He stroked his chin, pondering for a moment what Qu Tong's true intentions were in inviting him...

Is this a friendly signal of courtship?

Ideally...

If Qu Tong really wants to cause trouble, she'll be asking for trouble this time.

...

"Since President Qu is so sincere, it's hard for me to refuse... How about we set a time and place for tomorrow..."

Hearing that Zhou Fengliu had finally accepted it, Qu Tong was finally relieved.

“Okay, Director Zhou... See you at Yaoxing Society tomorrow... I will send someone to pick you up.”

"Ok."

...

The call ended again.

Qu Tong sat on the sofa in her office, reminiscing about her recent phone call with Zhou Fengliu.

Still young, unaware of the dangers, completely unable to resist the allure of power...

In just this one phone call, she could feel the aura of "a poor man suddenly becoming rich" in Zhou Fengliu's words.

This unbridled feeling was completely different from that of Zhao Fangxu and his gang of old foxes.

Also.

No matter how powerful he is, he's still just a young man in his twenties, and his temperament can't compare to those old fogies...

Qu Tong felt that she could handle Zhou Fengliu.

She wasn't afraid of Zhou Fengliu's strength, but rather that he had no weaknesses...

This illusion that she could control him stemmed from the weaknesses Zhou Fengliu revealed.

Chapter 437 Interview! Zhou Fengliu: If I weren't poor, would I be able to come to work?

According to previous investigations of Zhou Fengliu, he was not only greedy for money, but also seemed to be somewhat lecherous, frequently visiting entertainment venues such as foot massage parlors and bathhouses with Xu Si from North China.

When she learned of this information, Zhou Fengliu was already very powerful.

Furthermore, her decision to maintain a respectful distance ensured that she didn't plant any spies around Zhou Fengliu that could expose her weaknesses...

But after this phone call today... she felt like she had deified Zhou Fengliu.

She initially thought Zhou Fengliu was greedy because he was poor, but that once he rose to the position of director and gained power, he would no longer have such a strong desire for money...

But seeing him today, she never expected that Zhou Fengliu was truly so unpretentious...

Also.

They all possess such formidable strength that there's no need for them to hide anything...

People from the motherland, after all.

Qu Tong didn't find anything particularly unreasonable about Zhou Fengliu's straightforwardness.

...

the other side.

Zhou Fengliu, after hanging up the phone, felt nothing for Qu Tong's invitation.

He had no idea that his status as a lay Buddhist who had paid extra fees would excite Qu Tong so much...

If he knew that Qu Tong would find him easy to manipulate because of his greed, he would definitely think that Qu Tong must have been given a brain-depressing aura.

When you think everyone else is an idiot, you're often the only idiot yourself...

It's true that he's greedy, but that doesn't mean he's mindlessly greedy...

He knew exactly what money he could take and what money he couldn't take, and he controlled the balance with perfect precision.

What is called a weakness that can be easily exposed is often not a weakness at all, but rather a deliberate act.

As for whether Qu Tong's invitation was an attempt to win him over... he felt it was most likely so.

If Qu Tong tries to win him over by being soft-hearted and showering him with sweet words, then he will let Qu Tong know what it means to "want it all".

...

The next day.

Qu Tong waited for Zhou Fengliu's arrival at Yaoxing Society early in the morning.

Today she was dressed in a very professional style, wearing a black blazer over a fitted short white shirt.

The shirt buttons were fastened just above the chest, partially revealing her ample cleavage and leaving room for the imagination.

The sparkling necklace around the neck is very eye-catching, drawing attention to the cleavage below the neck.

She wore a gray bodycon skirt that accentuated her figure, making her look curvy and shapely.

Paired with gray stockings and gray high heels, she looks both capable and somewhat sexy.

This outfit gives Qu Tong a sophisticated and mature look.

It's clear that she was prepared and wanted to leave a good impression on Zhou Fengliu.

"President, Mr. Jay Chou has arrived."

As the secretary spoke, Qu Tong's gaze, which had been fixed on the entrance to the conference room, fell upon Zhou Fengliu.

Compared to her refined elegance, Zhou Fengliu appeared much more casual.

He wore a white T-shirt underneath, a work uniform that could be worn anywhere, and black casual pants...

This unremarkable outfit, so plain and simple, made it almost impossible for Zhou Fengliu to tell that this was a director...
