Not bad, He Yubing, you barely pass.
Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, He Yubing's eyes widened, and her hands, resting under the table, trembled slightly.
Yet, deep inside, she felt a faint excitement, as if she had finally found a kindred spirit who was equally unobsessed with love and romance!
This feeling was even more exciting than working with Zhou Feiyu for all those years!
Having served as Zhou Feiyu's assistant for many years, she had witnessed his sharp business talent and his extraordinary management abilities along the way!
But in her heart, Zhou Feiyu lacked decisiveness and ruthlessness! He was too soft-hearted!
He even gave up his mother's life's work for a woman!
In He Yubing's mind, this was utterly intolerable!
Yet now, the person before her was the exact opposite of Zhou Feiyu!
Meanwhile, Zhou Cheng was also sizing up He Yubing.
After the preliminary Q&A, Zhou Cheng was quite satisfied with her!
Being able to make relatively excellent choices rationally and calmly was already quite good!
And most importantly, she really didn't seem love-brained!
According to the information from his Eldest Young Master brother, aside from the possibility of marrying the Eldest Young Master back then, He Yubing had no other rumors!
In fact, outside of work, she never interacted with other men!
From this, it was clear that she didn't particularly care about dating!
And this was exactly what Zhou Cheng was looking for!
Of course, this alone wasn't secure enough.
"Assistant He, you're 29 this year, haven't you ever thought about finding a boyfriend?" Zhou Cheng asked.
Upon hearing this, He Yubing didn't overthink it and replied directly:
"I am not interested in dating."
"At first, Chairman Chen wanted me to marry the Eldest Young Master. Later, the Eldest Young Master started dating a girlfriend himself, so I remained single. As for the future, I will not date either, because my primary task is to protect and develop Chairman Chen's Chenyang Group."
Hearing this, Zhou Cheng didn't fully believe He Yubing's words.
He asked again: "Suppose a refined and easy-going CEO liked you, was obedient to your every word, cared about you in everything, and was willing to give up everything for you. Would you accept him?"
"No. I don't like men who are obedient to my every word! Besides, Second Young Master, aren't you describing the Eldest Young Master? It's just that it's not for me, but for Ye Juaner."
"Actually, I have no feelings for the Eldest Young Master, and I don't like his type. Agreeing to marry him back then was also Chairman Chen's arrangement," He Yubing replied directly.
Zhou Cheng continued to ask: "Then what about those boys who like excitement and adventure? If he told you he wanted to take you around the world and confess his love to you at the place closest to the moon, would you accept him?"
He Yubing frowned slightly.
"Are you talking about those tricks that punks use online to deceive girls? If I have time, I will travel around the world myself. Also, what is the difference between confessing at the place closest to the moon and confessing at home?"
Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask:
"Then what if a popular celebrity, full of talent, capable of writing his own original songs and very famous, pursued you?"
"An actor? Although being able to create original songs is a skill, they are generally fickle, and they like to act one way in front of people and another way behind their backs. I don't like that!"
"What about a young Genius with top-tier research capabilities, capable of publishing various papers internationally at a young age?"
"Boring. This type of Genius is usually the silent type; we wouldn't be a match." He Yubing shrugged.
"What is your opinion on delivery men, Bodyguards, security guards, and drivers? If they are in lowly positions but not inferior, and occasionally display extremely strong abilities in front of you, would you fall for them?"
"This..." He Yubing was speechless. What on earth was he asking?
The way she looked at Zhou Cheng became increasingly strange.
The Mistress was currently in a tense moment of seizing power. After the Second Young Master arrived, he neither understood the Group nor knew the Group's directors and executives.
He had just been asking her bizarre questions, and now he was listing so many people, asking which type she liked.
Had he changed careers to become a matchmaker?
"Second Young Master, are you worried that after I get a boyfriend, I will just resign and leave? Rest assured, I, He Yubing, will absolutely not look for a man."
He Yubing promised.
Zhou Cheng, who had been staring at He Yubing, felt his eyes light up. After asking so many questions, he had finally confirmed one point.
This He Yubing was likely a workaholic.
Perhaps for her, working at Chenyang Group and protecting Chenyang Group from being seized by others was her greatest interest.
She probably wouldn't have anyone she liked for the time being!
That puts my mind at ease.
Leaving the Group to her was completely fine.
"Congratulations, you have passed my assessment!" Zhou Cheng nodded with a smile.
Then he picked up the briefcase he was carrying, wanting to have a deeper discussion with He Yubing about today's matters!
However, at this moment, the office phone rang.
After answering the phone, He Yubing hurried out, her high heels clicking.
"Second Young Master, please rest here for a moment. Once the meeting starts, I will come to call you."
"There is a problem in the conference room, I need to go resolve it!"
Zhou Cheng listened to He Yubing's words and watched her leave.
He frowned slightly.
Could it be that the Eldest Young Master didn't tell her that he already held 24% of the shares of Chenyang Group and also controlled 48% of the equity?
Forget it, it's fine. If He Yubing finds out later, and he announces it later in the meeting, he can also see clearly the factional composition within the Group right now, and see exactly which people are in Zhou Mu's faction!
See which people can be used!
Perhaps this was also intentional by the Eldest Young Master, Zhou Feiyu.
...
In the conference room, the various assistants and secretaries were making the final preparations before the meeting started!
All the meeting arrangements had been made properly.
However, there were still some issues!
"Why is the Second Young Master's seat arranged at the very end! He holds 12% of the Group's shares and is one of the major shareholders! Don't you know this?"
He Yubing stepped into the conference room and went to the very last seat at the conference table!
Zhou Cheng's name was written on the table there, and unlike the other seats, a small wooden chair was specifically used for Zhou Cheng's seat.
Even if an adult sat on it, they would look like a child!
This obvious differential treatment, this obvious humiliating treatment, was something He Yubing could not tolerate no matter what.
Clearly, Chenyang Group was an empire built by Chairman Chen with his own hands.
Clearly, Zhou Cheng was Chairman Chen's biological son.
Why did Chairman Zhou want to hand over the empire built by Chairman Chen to someone else's son to manage!
Why, at this time today, did they still have to use such tactics to humiliate the Second Young Master!
At this moment today, Zhou Mu had already completely secured the CEO position, so why did he still have to humiliate the Second Young Master like this, humiliate Chairman Chen's son!
He Yubing's eyes were filled with sorrow!
As a trusted aide cultivated by Chairman Chen, she absolutely would not allow the Second Young Master to suffer such humiliation!
"It was Assistant Zhuge who arranged it like this!" the secretary who was setting up the conference room said.
"Who gave him the nerve? I'm going to find the Chairman!"
"Assistant He, you'd better not go. The Chairman agreed to this too. Actually, after Assistant Zhuge made this arrangement, I already went to find the Chairman's assistant, and he got a confirmation from the Chairman..." the secretary explained in a low voice.
She also felt uncomfortable inside.
She also knew that Zhuge Yun's arrangement was specifically to humiliate Zhou Cheng who had arrived!
Even she felt it was a bit excessive.
"Impossible! How is that possible!" He Yubing shook her head immediately!
"The Second Young Master is also Chairman Zhou's biological son. How could he be so biased? How could he agree to let people humiliate his own son in public during the Board of Directors meeting..."
At this moment, Zhuge Yun and Qiu Lan arrived at the conference room!
When they saw He Yubing, the corners of their mouths curled up, and they said with a smirk:
"Assistant He, the Board of Directors meeting is about to start. What are you still trying to do?"
"Why haven't you gone to notify the Second Young Master to attend the meeting yet?"
