Chapter 100: The Poison Pill Plan Launched
A short while later, Tan Haoyu replied: "To make you believe me."
These few simple words reveal the hope he has always held in his heart.
He so wished that Zhu Ziqing could trust him completely.
Zhu Ziqing looked at the reply, a slight smile playing on her lips, her fingers dancing lightly across the screen: "You bad guy!"
These words, tinged with a hint of coquetry, were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating layers of sweet ripples.
Tan Haoyu simply replied with a "hmm".
But this one word made Zhu Ziqing's thoughts start to wander.
She kept guessing what Tan Haoyu was thinking, while at the same time feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.
Just then, the president's office posted a message in the company's WeChat group: "All employees will have half a day off this afternoon, and the company will host a banquet for all employees at Xiangtianxia Restaurant tonight. Note: President Tan will also be attending the banquet."
As soon as the news broke, cheers erupted in the office.
Wow! We're on holiday, and there's a big meal to eat! That's awesome!
"President Tan will be there too? I'd better dress up nicely, maybe I can make a good impression on the president." The female colleagues whispered excitedly, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Colleagues began packing their things, their faces beaming with joy and relaxation.
This unexpected holiday and dinner was like a delightful surprise.
This has given everyone even more confidence and anticipation for the company's future.
In the office, colleagues were excitedly discussing the acquisition of Feiyang Technology and the upcoming dinner party.
Laughter and cheerful chatter filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere reminiscent of a bustling market.
Zhu Ziqing sat quietly at her desk, tidying up her things.
Her tranquility contrasted sharply with the bustling surroundings, as if she were in another world.
Suddenly, Zhu Ziqing's phone screen lit up.
A WeChat message caught my eye; it was from Tan Haoyu.
The message above simply reads: "Come up."
Zhu Ziqing looked at the two words, her heart filled with doubt.
She secretly guessed that Tan Haoyu probably wanted her to go to his office.
But I just can't figure out what it was about.
She bit her lip and decided to wait until all her colleagues had left before quietly going to Tan Haoyu's office.
This will also avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
Lin Dan skipped and hopped past Zhu Ziqing's desk, enthusiastically inviting her, "Zhu Ziqing, let's go together!"
Before Zhu Ziqing could answer, Liu Shishi rushed over like a gust of wind.
She grabbed Lin Dan's arm and said hurriedly, "Lin Dan, let's go, I have something urgent to tell you!"
Without saying another word, he dragged Lin Dan away.
As Zhu Ziqing watched them leave, she secretly felt grateful for Liu Shishi's "understanding."
This actually created a good opportunity for her to be alone.
Zhu Ziqing waited patiently until she was sure that all her colleagues in the office had left.
She picked up her bag, slowly stood up, and walked out of the office.
Upon reaching the elevator, she cautiously checked again to make sure no one was around before stepping inside. She then pressed the button for the 18th floor.
However, Zhu Ziqing was completely unaware of this.
In a dark corner of the company, a pair of cold eyes were watching her every move.
That gaze was like a cold, venomous snake, sending chills down one's spine.
As Zhu Ziqing stepped into the elevator, the elevator indicator light slowly came to a stop on the 18th floor.
The person in the shadows let out a sinister laugh.
He then took out his phone and sent a message: "Entry into the CEO's office confirmed. We can begin implementing our poison pill plan now."
The elevator doors slowly opened, and Zhu Ziqing cautiously peeked out, looking around like a newcomer.
Only after confirming that no one was in the office did I step out of the elevator.
"Oh, isn't this Zhu Ziqing? Mrs. Tan is here!" Yang Piaoliang's voice suddenly rang out, with a mischievous smile on her face.
Zhu Ziqing blushed slightly and said reproachfully, "Assistant Yang, please stop teasing me. What does President Tan want with me?"
Yang Piaoliang blinked and said with a smile, "This is a matter between you and your husband, so I shouldn't interfere."
Zhu Ziqing followed Yang Piaoliang and noticed that her colleagues in the president's office had already left work.
The entire floor seemed empty and unusually quiet.
She couldn't help but admire Tan Haoyu's thoughtfulness towards his subordinates; while other secretaries were on holiday, he was still working diligently.
At the same time, she also realized that she was just a small employee in a basic department, far below the level of Tan Haoyu.
It's impossible to know what important things he's busy with on a daily basis.
Yang Piaoliang stopped at the door of Tan Haoyu's office and said with a smile, "I won't go in with you."
Zhu Ziqing took a deep breath and nodded slightly, feeling both nervous and expectant.
She straightened her clothes, preparing to face Tan Haoyu alone.
Zhu Ziqing stood at the door of the president's office, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
Embarrassment and nervousness gripped her heart like two invisible hands.
Even though the man inside was Tan Haoyu, with whom she had a special relationship.
But this was, after all, the CEO's office, and the imposing atmosphere still made her feel a little suffocated.
She took a deep breath, raised her hand, and politely knocked on the door.
"Come in." Tan Haoyu's voice came from inside.
Zhu Ziqing pushed open the door and slowly walked in.
Tan Haoyu was sitting at his desk, speaking fluent English into the phone.
He glanced at Zhu Ziqing briefly, nodded slightly, and gestured for her to wait a moment.
Zhu Ziqing's gaze began to sweep around the office.
She found the decor here to be simple and clean, without too much luxury, yet exuding an air of grandeur and composure.
This is quite consistent with the impression Tan Haoyu usually gives off.
She stood there, feeling increasingly uneasy.
My feet felt like they were nailed to the ground; I dared not move them easily, much less sit down.
They could only wait quietly for Tan Haoyu to finish his call.
Finally, Tan Haoyu hung up the phone.
Mustering her courage, Zhu Ziqing spoke first, asking, "President Tan, what can I do for you?"
Curiosity gleamed in her eyes.
Tan Haoyu glanced at her and said indifferently, "Working overtime."
Zhu Ziqing was slightly taken aback and blurted out, "Overtime? But I'm from the sales department, why should I be working overtime here?"
Tan Haoyu's lips curled up slightly, and he said in an unquestionable tone, "You'll get double pay if you work overtime with me."
Zhu Ziqing's eyes lit up immediately when she heard there was double pay.
But some doubts remained: "Really? But this..."
