Chapter 210: The New Plague God

"A new member? Heh, what kind of new member is this!"

Zhong Xiaoyao felt a great deal of disdain in her heart for Song Yaxian, who had just arrived in the group.

Just as Zheng Qian was introducing her to everyone, Yao Manman silently returned to her seat and began packing her things under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

"This... was she fired by President Zheng?"

Zhong Xiaoyao and Qin Xueli exchanged glances simultaneously.

Some time ago, Zheng Qian had given them a special task: to ferret out the mole in the group.

After employing various methods, the two narrowed their focus down to Yao Manman. Feeling she was the most suspicious, they reported it to Zheng Qian.

Although there was no substantial evidence yet, it was basically certain that the mole was Yao Manman.

Their original plan was to gather evidence as quickly as possible during this period and present it to Zheng Qian, so The Group could sue Yao Manman and send her straight to jail.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Qian didn't wait for them at all; he simply fired Yao Manman directly.

Yao Manman was packing her things at that moment, while Zheng Qian was nonchalantly introducing the new member in front of everyone.

Emotions of sorrow and joy were intertwined in the same scene, carrying an indescribable nuance.

After Yao Manman confessed to Zheng Qian, that evidence was actually enough to send her to prison.

However, Zheng Qian did not do so. Most of the fault lay with Xiao Xinhao and the Qijinyi Alliance behind him.

Zheng Qian felt a little regretful. Why hadn't he sent Xiao Xinhao straight to prison back then?

It was because he was too soft-hearted. This was what had caused Xiao Xinhao to become a thorn in his side.

Zheng Qian had just reached a secret agreement with Yao Manman in his office: if she could make up for her mistakes, he would continue to employ her.

Yao Manman also understood that although the terms Zheng Qian offered were very good, after an incident like this, she would definitely never return to the trusted department directly led by Zheng Qian.

The sooner the cards were on the table, the sooner she could be at ease. Yao Manman would be able to sleep a little more comfortably.

Amidst a wave of silent disdain, Yao Manman departed from everyone's sight.

As for this new colleague, Zhong Xiaoyao clapped her hands, but in her heart, she felt extreme disdain.

Although her looks couldn't compare to Yao Manman's, in terms of temperament, she was a cut above.

Qin Xueli was also filled with infinite helplessness in her heart.

They had just sent away one competitor, and Zheng Qian had immediately hired such a beautiful colleague to fill the gap.

This was meant to form a tripartite balance, balancing the relationship between her and Zhong Xiaoyao!

This man was becoming increasingly difficult for Zhong Xiaoyao to understand. The difficulty was gradually increasing.

Originally, Yao Manman had already lost her competitive advantage. Zhong Xiaoyao and Qin Xueli had happened to discover she was the mole and had taken the opportunity to report her.

But with her gone, it had brought in a woman with even greater competitiveness. If Zhong Xiaoyao had known it would turn out like this, she might have even wanted to cover for Yao Manman.

"Little Song, I've added you to the WeChat group, please accept it." As Zheng Qian said this, he operated his phone for a moment.

"To welcome our new colleague to the group, I have decided to organize a team-building activity tonight so that Little Song can integrate into our team as soon as possible."

"Great!" Many people in the group cheered instantly; they could get a free delicious meal again.

When had Zheng Qian ever been stingy? Every meal was almost always over 100,000!

Only Qin Xueli and Zhong Xiaoyao were unhappy. They found the newcomer, Song Yaxian, a bit of an eyesore; their xenophobic mentality was in full swing.

"That probably isn't necessary." Song Yaxian frowned and refused.

She originally wasn't going to be working here for long; she would be leaving in a few months. Zheng Qian wanted to treat her to a meal, and she didn't want to owe this favor, which would make it impossible for her to leave The Group later without suffering a bad reputation.

Previously, Song Qingli had told her that Zheng Qian was a high-level executive at Qianhe Group, but even now, Song Yaxian didn't know what Zheng Qian's position was.

But judging by his actions, Zheng Qian's position shouldn't be too low.

So arrogantly using public funds to hold some welcome banquet for her was, in Song Yaxian's eyes, just a cover; in reality, it was just Zheng Qian wanting to eat and drink for free using The Group's money.

Song Yaxian had seen plenty of such leaders in those big companies.

"How can that be? When have I ever mistreated my employees? You can just ask them." Zheng Qian didn't think that much; he just wanted to use Song Yaxian to farm a wave of system cashback.

Although he already had hundreds of millions in his account, no one ever complained about having too much money. As long as he could spend 100,000, that was a 1,000,000 cashback; it would be a waste not to earn this money.

"But..." Song Yaxian hesitated.

"Little Song, President Zheng has good intentions, don't refuse."

"Yeah, Little Song, look, you just arrived, and President Zheng is already holding a welcome banquet for you. He's so good to you."

Several colleagues persuaded her from the side. If she didn't accept, it would end up being her fault. In the end, she nodded and agreed.

"Heh, wanting to be a whore while setting up a memorial arch." Zhong Xiaoyao crossed her arms, looking down at Song Yaxian.

President Zheng is throwing you a welcome banquet; you must be secretly thrilled. Stop acting coy and putting on a difficult face—who are you trying to impress?

Zhong Xiaoyao was extremely unhappy; she really couldn't stand Song Yaxian's green tea bitch persona.

Zheng Qian drove three of them, while the others took the company car to Wangyue Pavilion.

Wangyue Pavilion had the highest consumption in Yebai. A round of food and entertainment would cost at least 200,000, and Zheng Qian could net a profit of 2,000,000.

"Waiter, bring me one of everything you have that's top-tier, and two bottles of the gold edition Rémy Martin XO."

Zheng Qian was a VIP at Wangyue Island. He had been there a few times before, and Boss Han would always come over to toast him.

It was unclear if Boss Han had specifically instructed his subordinates, or if his staff all knew Zheng Qian now, but everyone was extremely respectful.

The others were accustomed to Zheng Qian's way of spending money. Only Song Yaxian was greatly surprised after hearing this.

She had been working hard outside for several years, but she had also grown up in Yebai. She knew that Wangyue Island was the highest-spec entertainment venue in Yebai, where a one-stop service for food, drink, and entertainment could be achieved directly on Wangyue Island.

Wangyue Pavilion was the kind of restaurant where big bosses would only gather when discussing multi-million dollar deals.

Today, for her welcome banquet, Zheng Qian had actually chosen a restaurant of this caliber.

Just those two bottles of gold edition Rémy Martin XO were worth 100,000, not to mention the dazzling array of top-tier ingredients covering the entire table.

Zhong Xiaoyao and the others naturally took photos first, and even Song Yaxian couldn't resist taking a couple of pictures.

Zheng Qian, however, remained unmoved, constantly sending messages on his phone.

When he saw that Song Yaxian was also taking pictures, Zheng Qian couldn't help but chuckle secretly.

Song Yaxian actually didn't know whether Zheng Qian was using her to fleece The Group or if he was genuinely willing to spend so much money on her, so her current Favorability remained unchanged, still stuck at 10 points.
