Chapter 400: 185 Trouble (Part One)

“Secretary Du,” Tao Xianxian hurriedly called out to him.

Du Ze turned his head, his eyes questioning.

Tao Xianxian pursed her lips, “Nothing…nothing, just remember to eat on time since you have a bad stomach.”

Du Ze expressionlessly nodded and left.

Tao Xianxian watched the man’s tall figure disappear at the office door and sighed.

Taking the documents, she went out. As expected, she heard a few employees talking quietly near the water dispenser.

“Secretary Du is handsome and young with a bright future. After this opportunity is gone, there won’t be another one, so we’d better seize it quickly.”

“Does he have something going on with Manager Tao? Otherwise, why would a president’s secretary personally bring materials to the project department? It’s a waste of talent.”

“Who knows for sure? Manager Tao went from being an intern to a project manager in just a few months, responsible for such a big project like Spring Academy. Do you really believe she was favored by the young miss without any tricks involved? Who would believe that without any intrigue?”

“She and Secretary Du are both from Jiangzhou University’s finance department. If you check Jiangzhou University’s official website, Secretary Du is an outstanding graduate representative, and I heard Tao Xianxian was also famous in her class. These two definitely know each other. Maybe Manager Tao got the young miss’s favor because of her relationship with Secretary Du. It seems the young miss is still a bit naive and can easily be led by the nose by Secretary Du.”

“What a joke, our young miss can chat and laugh with Shen Zhou without changing her face. How could she be led by the nose by a secretary? Don’t insult our young miss.”

“What do you guys know? Let me tell you…,” lowering her voice and cautiously scanning the surroundings, she continued, “I have a college classmate whose aunt is a secretary in Shenzhou Group’s president office. She said that Shen Zhou’s relationship with our young miss is not ordinary. Otherwise, with such a big financial group, many big companies are seeking cooperation, so why would they even consider our company that’s on the verge of bankruptcy? It’s a thankless task. Mr. Zhu has always been a ticking time bomb. How many times he has sought cooperation, Shen Zhou never gave him a glance, so it’s even more impossible now. What kind of force could make Shen Zhou extend a helping hand to Zhu Group?”

Regarding this gossip, it had spread when the contract was signed, but since it involved Shen Zhou, they didn’t dare to disseminate it too much and only chatted about it privately within business circles.

“Really? If that’s the case, it’s not bad either. Shen Zhou is a diamond-level single Lao Wu, even though he’s a bit older, he knows how to pamper people. I heard he’s never been married and has a clean reputation, unlike those wealthy men who maintain women everywhere. If the young miss really gets together with him, it could be considered a beautiful story.”

“All I can say is that our young miss has incomparable charm to be able to take down Shen Zhou. You think Mr. Zhu should cry or laugh at this… ”

Seeing Tao Xianxian approaching, they immediately shut their mouths and awkwardly greeted her, “Manager Tao.”

“Discussing your superiors’ gossip during work hours. Have you ignored the new company rules?” Tao Xianxian coldly said, sweeping her gaze across them. Everywhere her eyes went, they would drop their heads in embarrassment.

Being scolded by a superior younger than them, it was an unbearable experience.

“Go back to work, everyone except Jiajia. Jiajia, come with me to the construction site.”

Except for Jiajia, everybody else left as if they were pardoned.

Wang Jiajia was the only one who didn’t speak in that group of people. Although it couldn’t prove anything, at least she was a smart person.

“Mr. Zhu,” Du Ze laid out everything Zhu Wentao wanted in front of him.

Zhu Wentao glanced at him. The man in front of him had an extraordinary aura, neither humble nor arrogant. Everyone called him Mr. Zhu while only Du Ze called him Mr. Zhu.

This represented Ming Jing’s intentions.

“Haven’t been with the company for long, right?” Zhu Wentao asked while flipping through the financial report.

“I already had experience in this field before coming to the company. I’m grateful for the young miss’s favor, giving me this opportunity. I will not let her down and will not betray her trust.”

“It’s good for a young man to be proactive. I think you’re talented too. Ming Jing is still studying, and you’d be wasted at her side. Why not come and be my secretary?”

Ding Wei, who was standing aside, twitched the corner of his mouth. So Mr. Zhu was digging people, not afraid of the young miss getting angry.

This sentence also revealed Zhu Wentao’s ambitions.

Unfortunately, times have changed.

Without changing his expression, Du Ze said, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhu. The young miss has shown me great favor, and I can’t forget my roots. To be a good person, one must know how to repay kindness.”
