Chapter 214: Private Jet

"Aren't you supposed to be confident in your abilities? Can't you even handle a simple task like this? Don't tell me you aren't capable of doing it?"

"You... there isn't a single thing I can't do well!"

Song Yaxian knew that Zheng Qian was trying to provoke her, and she wouldn't fall for it.

"Then I'll take that as a yes?"

"I just want to know, why didn't you send your own secretary instead of picking me?"

"Xia Xixi has been assigned other tasks. She's quite busy and can't get away."

Zheng Qian was telling the truth. He had sent Xia Xixi to handle matters related to Xunnidi, including the winery and other miscellaneous things, so she really couldn't spare the time to accompany him to Jiangnan. That was why Zheng Qian had reached out to Song Yaxian.

Zheng Qian took a look—Song Yaxian's Favorability toward him had already dropped to zero!

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

After a trip to Jiangnan, wouldn't he get another huge wave of cashback?

No matter what, Zheng Qian had to bring Song Yaxian to Jiangnan.

Heh.

Song Yaxian didn't believe a word Zheng Qian said.

Men's words are the devil's lies.

She had heard last night that Qin Xueli had taken a drunk Zheng Qian to a hotel.

This morning, Qin Xueli hadn't asked for leave, yet she didn't come to work.

Even Zheng Qian hadn't come to the office all morning.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Just now, when she followed Zheng Qian into his office, she clearly noticed that his gait was a bit off.

If those two didn't have something going on, she would shave her head bald tomorrow.

But then Song Yaxian thought, if she refused Zheng Qian because of this, wouldn't that be the same as bowing down to Zhong Xiaoyao?

Whenever Song Yaxian thought about the way Zhong Xiaoyao had bullied her last night, trying to drive her out of the company, she felt extremely annoyed.

Through the gathering last night, Song Yaxian had gradually begun to see the situation within the team clearly.

Zhong Xiaoyao, Chang Mengmeng, and others were one faction.

Qin Xueli was a faction of her own.

Both groups were competing for Zheng Qian; to put it bluntly, it was a bit like fighting for "favored status."

Zheng Qian was now offering her this opportunity, but she didn't really want it because she had no feelings for someone like him.

But if she didn't agree to go to Jiangnan with Zheng Qian, he would definitely find someone else to accompany him on this business trip.

It was very likely he would choose Zhong Xiaoyao.

After all, judging by Zheng Qian's attitude toward Zhong Xiaoyao, he didn't seem to dislike her.

Thinking about it that way, it would be equivalent to handing the opportunity to Zhong Xiaoyao, giving her the leverage to bully her in the future!

No way!

She absolutely could not let Zhong Xiaoyao have this opportunity.

Even if Song Yaxian had no affection for Zheng Qian, she couldn't let Zhong Xiaoyao get ahead—wouldn't that just be making life difficult for herself?

"Fine, I agree."

"Good. I'll send you the relevant documents in a moment. Print them out as hard copies. The flight is tonight."

"Isn't it supposed to start the day after tomorrow?" Song Yaxian asked suspiciously.

"Just do as you're told. Why so many questions?"

"Hmph!" Song Yaxian snorted coldly and left Zheng Qian's office.

Her phone received the documents from Zheng Qian one after another. Song Yaxian sat in front of the printer and, following his instructions, printed them out and organized them into a document.

When Zhong Xiaoyao saw this, she gave Chang Mengmeng a look.

Chang Mengmeng understood, grabbed a USB drive, and pretended to go print some documents as well.

"Yaxian, why are you printing so many documents? Did President Zheng ask you to?"

"Do you need any help?"

Chang Mengmeng said hypocritically; she just wanted to know what kind of work Zheng Qian had assigned her.

Song Yaxian was intelligent and had high emotional intelligence; how could she not see that Chang Mengmeng was here to fish for information?

So you want to know, huh?

She had nothing to hide.

Song Yaxian even noticed that Zhong Xiaoyao was staring at her from not far away.

So, Song Yaxian deliberately raised her voice and said to Chang Mengmeng with a hint of showing off, "Sure! It'll be much faster with a senior's help!"

"Sigh, President Zheng suddenly asked me to accompany him on a trip to Jiangnan and sent me all these documents. It'll probably take a while to finish printing them all."

"I don't know how many days we'll be gone, so I'll have to leave the team's work to you, Team Leader Zhong, and the other sisters."

Song Yaxian even sighed deliberately, as if she didn't really want to go and it was Zheng Qian who insisted on her going.

"Go... go to Jiangnan?"

"President Zheng specifically named you to go?"

Chang Mengmeng couldn't process it for a moment.

"Yeah, President Zheng said he really appreciates my abilities and that I would definitely be able to complete the work excellently, so he specifically asked me to accompany him to Jiangnan." Song Yaxian's voice grew even louder.

She wanted Zhong Xiaoyao to hear it.

Chang Mengmeng muttered to herself.

Zheng Qian was too greedy!

After what happened with Qin Xueli last night, he was already starting an offensive against Song Yaxian today?

Being rich really allows you to do whatever you want!

Who would have thought that Zhong Xiaoyao would walk over in a fit of rage.

"What did you say?!"

"Impossible!"

"You just started, how could President Zheng specifically name you to accompany him to Jiangnan? This is Secretary Xia's job."

Zhong Xiaoyao retorted firmly.

She had been diligent in the company and was loyal to Zheng Qian.

Even with that attitude, she had never received the opportunity to go out with Zheng Qian alone.

A newcomer who had just joined—why did she deserve such a good thing?

"What's impossible about it? When President Zheng walked over to the team and called for me just now, didn't you all see it?" Song Yaxian naturally refused to back down.

"Why didn't President Zheng ask Secretary Xia to go, but chose you instead?" Zhong Xiaoyao felt that the first person Zheng Qian would look for should be Xia Xixi; she was the most familiar with administrative matters and was most to Zheng Qian's taste.

Thinking back to a while ago, Zheng Qian had even bought Xia Xixi an AMG sports car worth several million!

Had she fallen out of favor so quickly?

That couldn't be right, could it?

"President Zheng said Secretary Xia has other work to handle, so he asked me to temporarily fill her position and serve as a temporary secretary."

Temporary secretary!

This term stung Zhong Xiaoyao's fragile heart deeply.

She knew all too well what a temporary secretary represented.

If Song Yaxian performed well on this trip to Jiangnan.

Then it was very likely that Song Yaxian would bypass the deputy team leader and team leader positions, becoming Zheng Qian's second assistant, or even rising directly above her and Qin Xueli.

"You, a newcomer, want to take Secretary Xia's place?"

"Heh!"

"In your dreams!"

Zhong Xiaoyao completely dismissed Song Yaxian as talking nonsense.

"You don't believe me, right?"

"Then look at this."

Song Yaxian turned the brightness of her phone screen to the maximum and showed Zhong Xiaoyao the flight information Zheng Qian had just sent.

A private jet?

Zheng Qian had actually chartered a private jet?

This, damn it, was too outrageous!

A private jet was extremely private; you could even have a dance party on it if you wanted.

Chartering a private jet was much more expensive than two first-class tickets; at the very least, it would cost 200,000 per trip.

Zheng Qian also said in the message that this was a private plane chartered specifically for her.

What kind of god-tier treatment was this!

Why didn't she, Zhong Xiaoyao, get this?

Zhong Xiaoyao felt extremely unbalanced in her heart.
