Chapter 211: I'm Not Afraid of You

"President Zheng, as the team leader of the Administrative Special Handling Group that you personally lead, I would like to propose a toast to you on behalf of everyone!"

Zhong Xiaoyao didn't forget to show off at this moment.

"Zhong Xiaoyao, you're wrong there. Today is a welcome banquet prepared by President Zheng for Little Song; how can you represent everyone?" Qin Xueli retorted to Zhong Xiaoyao with a smile.

Zhong Xiaoyao glared fiercely at Qin Xueli.

Why does she always go against me?

Embarrassing her at this moment, does she want Zheng Qian to drink this toast, or does she not want him to?

"It's fine, it's fine. Little Song, let me introduce you. This beauty will be your team leader from now on, and that one is your deputy team leader. It's a good opportunity for everyone to get to know each other."

Zheng Qian didn't want his gathering to be so cold, so he stood up to smooth things over.

"Let's all stand up and have a drink together."

Everyone stood up and drank this toast together.

Song Yaxian finally realized that in this group, there were quite a few girls eyeing Zheng Qian covetously!

Especially that team leader Zhong Xiaoyao and that deputy team leader Qin Xueli; the two of them seemed to be very much at odds.

After they had eaten enough, Zheng Qian said it was still early and had the waiter open a large private room at the KTV, and they all went over to sing.

"President Zheng, this is probably enough, right? I still need to go back early." Song Yaxian was a bit resistant; she wasn't very used to hanging out with so many people.

She felt that a meal was enough; having to go to KTV to sing, if one got drunk, that would be no laughing matter.

That meal just now must have cost at least over a hundred thousand; it could even equal her annual salary at the big company.

If Zheng Qian was really using public funds for extravagant wining and dining, and the higher-ups investigated, would she be the one to take the fall?

"Little Song, it's rare for President Zheng to be this happy today, just come along and have fun with us."

"That's right, Little Song. It's a good chance for us to build our relationship, and work will go more smoothly in the future."

"Let's go."

The group moved to the KTV.

Song Yaxian watched as Zheng Qian had Zhong Xiaoyao on his left and Qin Xueli on his right, singing happily; they hadn't paid any attention to her at all.

And talking about building colleague relationships—this was just using public funds for wining, dining, and having fun!

She couldn't stand sitting on the sidelines, and she was even less willing to see that disgusting look on Zheng Qian's face.

"I'm going to the restroom."

Song Yaxian found an excuse, thinking of going outside to calm down.

Walking to the restroom, Song Yaxian looked at herself in the mirror and let out a long sigh.

"And they call this a proper company. Zheng Qian doesn't look proper at all; how proper could this company be?"

Song Yaxian washed her face, and just as she was about to leave, someone else walked into the restroom.

Zhong Xiaoyao!

"Song Yaxian, I heard everything you just said about President Zheng." Zhong Xiaoyao walked in with a smile and locked the restroom door from the inside.

Song Yaxian's face darkened: "What do you want? Going to snitch, are you? Then go ahead."

"Do I look like the kind of person who likes to snitch?" Zhong Xiaoyao snorted coldly. "I just have some things I want to talk to you about."

Talk to her?

What did they have to talk about between them?

"You don't still not know President Zheng's position in the company, do you?" Zhong Xiaoyao crossed her arms and walked contemptuously in front of Song Yaxian.

Song Yaxian didn't shrink back at all; she took a step forward herself, her aura completely not losing to Zhong Xiaoyao's.

"What his position is has nothing to do with me. I just need to do my own job well."

"Heh, it seems you really don't know." Zhong Xiaoyao laughed. "President Zheng is the Chairman of Qianhe Group."

"Oh."

Song Yaxian gave a cold "oh."

Wait.

What did she just say?

Zheng Qian is the Chairman of Qianhe Group?

This... this can't be possible!

Zheng Qian only looks a few years older than her; how could he possibly be the Chairman of Qianhe Group?

Previously, Song Qingli hadn't told Song Yaxian how high Zheng Qian's position in Qianhe Group was; she thought Zheng Qian was just a minor leader.

She had been so arrogant in front of Zheng Qian, looking down on a small company like Qianhe Group. Based on her work experience, she could actually achieve a position like Zheng Qian's; it was just that Zheng Qian had joined the company earlier than her.

And now she's told that Zheng Qian is the Chairman of Qianhe Group???

Song Yaxian was full of disbelief.

Compared to large internet enterprises like Tencent or ByteDance, Qianhe Group could indeed only be considered a small ant. Holding a minor leadership position in such a company might not even give one the chance to join a big company!

But if it's the founder, the Chairman, that's completely different.

Founding Qianhe Group and annexing so many local enterprises is definitely not something an ordinary person could accomplish.

At this moment, even in Song Yaxian's beautiful eyes, a glint of intrigue crossed.

"Our team belongs to the trusted group directly led by him. We investigate the President above and the staff below. Do you understand how much power this team has?"

Song Yaxian finally understood; there seemed to be a hint of a threat in Zhong Xiaoyao's words.

She was openly elevating Zheng Qian while subtly elevating herself. The meaning behind revealing this to her was to show how high her status was with Zheng Qian and how much she was trusted.

"Then what do you mean?" Song Yaxian did not shrink back.

"You should have seen the fate of that girl when President Zheng introduced you to the job, right? Who do you think pushed her out?"

Speaking of this, a smug expression appeared on Zhong Xiaoyao's face, showing off her power to Song Yaxian without reservation.

"If you're sensible, just resign on your own; don't wait for me to take action." Zhong Xiaoyao gave Song Yaxian an ultimatum. "If you're not willing to resign, then don't blame me for making things difficult for you in the future."

Zhong Xiaoyao had already discerned a clue from the way Zheng Qian looked at Song Yaxian.

Zheng Qian must be interested in her; otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a big fuss, inviting her to dinner with such extreme enthusiasm, if not to have something happen with her.

That look was like a hungry wolf looking at a little lamb.

Zhong Xiaoyao understood Zheng Qian all too well.

This sentence directly stirred up Song Yaxian's competitive spirit. When she worked at the big company, she had been suppressed more than once.

Once, a department leader wanted to subject her to unspoken rules; if she agreed, she would get a promotion and a raise, and if she didn't, he would make things difficult for her and squeeze her out.

Song Yaxian did not agree. Relying on her outstanding learning ability and work capability, she proved her strength to the higher-ups. In the end, the higher-ups fired that department leader and promoted her to team leader.

A mere Zhong Xiaoyao—Song Yaxian didn't take her seriously.

Wanting to force her to leave with just one conversation?

Is that possible?

She was, after all, a woman who had made her way in big cities; did they think this little thing could scare her?

"If you think you have the ability, then come at me. I'm not afraid of you!"
