I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 99

The first thing Ye Cheng said to Shen Qingrou was, "Assistant Du, you did a lot of work today. Remember to give her a bonus."

Shen Qingrou was slightly taken aback. She knew that Ye Cheng wouldn't speak without reason, and there must be some deeper meaning behind his words.

So, following Ye Cheng's words, he said, "We originally planned to treat this ten million as a dead debt, but who would have thought that you would actually be able to get it back."

"Old Shen can't be stingy; I need to ask him for a million as a reward for you."

Ye Cheng said, "I don't have much of a concept of money. If you can get it approved, just give it all to Assistant Du."

Shen Qingrou did not object: "Sure, since you don't smoke or drink, and you don't go to bars, you don't need the money anyway, so I'll give it all to Miaowei."

Upon hearing this, Du Miaowei hurriedly declined, saying, "No, no, no, I didn't do anything, I feel ashamed to accept this."

Let's give all the money to Brother Ye.

Ye Cheng said, "This is what you deserve, don't refuse. When you get your salary, President Shen will transfer the money to your bank card, right, President Shen?"

Shen Qingrou said matter-of-factly, "You've done such a great service, of course you deserve a reward."

Ye Cheng then said, "It's settled then. Let's get to the chairman right away."

Shen Qingrou instructed Du Miaowei to return to her office, and then pushed Ye Cheng to the chairman's office.

Shen Qianfeng had just returned from outside and was drinking tea from a peony-patterned enamel mug when he saw Shen Qingrou pushing Ye Cheng in. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What, didn't you get it back?"

He thought Ye Cheng would pester Zhan Yue Company until the evening, and that coming back so early probably meant he hadn't gotten a good outcome and had come back early because he couldn't handle the pressure.

Before Ye Cheng could speak, Shen Qingrou retorted, "What kind of expression is that? We don't even care about the Chen Group, a mere ten million is nothing to us!"

Shen Qianfeng was slightly taken aback and looked at Ye Cheng in astonishment: "You're not really coming back, are you?"

He didn't think Shen Qingrou would lie to him about something like this.

It's just a little unbelievable.

Ye Cheng nodded: "I have done my mission well, but I did not come here to curry favor with the chairman. I did not take such a small matter as collecting debts to heart."

Shen Qianfeng snorted. "Quite the show-off."

"So what brings you here?"

Ye Cheng said, "To be honest, Chairman, I used some methods to force Li Zhanyue to repay the money, but who knew he would actually bring up the Chen Group to scare me."

Under my coercion and enticement, he finally revealed the truth: his backer was the Chen Group.

It was the Chen Group that instructed him to frame their competitors.

I have already reported the relevant situation to District Chief Xu.

District Chief Xu has secretly taken Li Zhanyue away.

Assistant Du hacked all the surveillance footage, so nobody knows we went to Zhanyue Company.

Assistant Du also copied evidence of Li Zhanyue's crimes from Li Zhanyue's computer.

At first, Shen Qianfeng thought Ye Cheng was talking nonsense, but when Ye Cheng mentioned Xu Menghao and said that Du Miaowei's phone contained evidence of Li Zhanyue's crimes, he was shocked and stood up from his office chair.

"Where is Assistant Du? Call her over here immediately, I need to see the evidence."

Ye Cheng, you've done a great job! As long as the evidence is conclusive, the Chen Group will be severely damaged, even if they don't die!

Let's see how arrogant that old dog Chen Jinrong can be now!

Shen Qingrou took out her phone and called Du Miaowei, signaling her to come to the chairman's office.

A short while later, Du Miaowei arrived at the office and transmitted the relevant information to Shen Qianfeng's laptop.

Shen Qingrou found it strange that Ye Cheng would entrust such an important matter to Du Miaowei for safekeeping.

Now was not the time to ask, so they could only watch silently as Shen Qianfeng kept praising Du Miaowei for her great contribution.

Shen Qianfeng carefully looked at the information that had been sent to him, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

"Good, good, good, that's great! Chen Jinrong, no wonder the Chen Group has always been the leader, it turns out they've been doing so many dirty things behind the scenes!"

Seeing Shen Qianfeng's beaming face, Ye Cheng had to remind him, "Chairman, District Chief Xu is still conducting a secret investigation. We shouldn't publicize this so that everyone knows. I believe the government won't tolerate this."

Shen Qianfeng nodded, realizing he had been a bit out of line, and coughed twice: "You're right, we should stay calm at this time and see what the government has to say."

Taking the opportunity, Shen Qingrou asked, "Ye Cheng and Miao Wei have made such a great contribution, how do you plan to reward them?"

Shen Qianfeng readily agreed, "It's up to you. Reward me however you like."

Shen Qingrou's eyes lit up: "You said it yourself."

Shen Qianfeng solemnly promised, "Yes, I said it."

Shen Qingrou made an outrageous demand: "Miaowei has never made a mistake in all these years as my assistant."

I think it's time for her to succeed me as the group's vice president.

Shen Qianfeng was stunned upon hearing this. The reward seemed quite generous, but once a promise was made, it was like spilled water; how could he go back on his word?

Besides, Du Miaowei's professional skills are indeed quite good. If she were to go back on her word in person, wouldn't that hurt the feelings of such a promising talent?

Shen Qianfeng laughed, his mind racing, and suddenly said, "Sure, as long as you become the successor of the Shen Group, let alone making Assistant Du the vice president, you can even make her the president directly."

Shen Qingrou raised an eyebrow: "These are two different things. What, if I don't become the successor, will those who follow me never have a chance to be promoted?"

Shen Qianfeng said meaningfully, "As the saying goes, a new emperor brings a new court. Who wouldn't want to give important positions to their confidants?"

Shen Qingrou retorted, "Is this nepotism?"

No wonder the Shen Group has stagnated for so many years; it turns out the chairman's management is incompetent.

Shen Qianfeng didn't take it to heart, and instead went along with Shen Qingrou's words, saying, "That's why I want you to take over my job as soon as possible."

Shen Qingrou directly refused: "I'm not interested."

"Just tell me, should we let Miaowei be the vice president or not?"

Shen Qianfeng lost his temper: "I'll give in, but we'll have to wait."

I can only make arrangements after the scandals involving Zhan Yue Company and Chen's Group are exposed.

Otherwise, if the board asks, I won't be able to explain myself.

Shen Qingrou said, "Okay, I won't rush you. Anyway, so many people heard it."

Let's get practical. Of that ten million, I'll take one million as a bonus for Ye Cheng and Miao Wei.

Shen Qianfeng agreed without hesitation: "Okay, you go apply, I'll sign it now."

Shen Qingrou turned to leave, but after only a few steps, she turned back and said with a warning look, "I know you are lenient with those elders, but I hope you can persuade them not to take advantage of their seniority and suppress newcomers."

For the group to develop, it must promote capable newcomers.

This is my advice to you as your daughter.

Shen Qianfeng repeated his old tune: "I said that with each new emperor comes a new set of officials, and the matter of changing dynasties must be handed over to you, the successor."

When that time comes, it will be your freedom to promote or replace whomever you want.

I will absolutely not say a single word of no.

Shen Qingrou smiled and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Just as she was about to leave, there was a knock on the door of the chairman's office.
