One Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty-Six Protection (II)

Watching him leave, Zhao Chuning sat at the conference table, lost in thought for a long time.

She looked down at herself, and the ambiguous traces under her shirt were a little too beautiful. Her soft fingers brushed over it lightly, as if there was still the heat from his lips there. She was startled and quickly retracted them.

She laughed at herself for being distracted by him.

Soon, she calmed down, suppressed the confused emotions on her face, and buttoned her windbreaker tightly.

She shouldn't have presumptuously guessed what this man was thinking, she couldn't guess it. If there were still misunderstandings like in the past, in the end, she would be the one making a fool of herself.

When Zhao Chuning walked out of the conference room, everyone stared at her with an indescribable look. She ignored it and just glanced at Tang Yi's office. At this moment, it was tightly sealed inside and nothing could be seen.

"Sister Chuning, did Mr. Tang make things difficult for you?" Chen Li came out of the secretary's office and asked worriedly.

Zhao Chuning shook her head, "If there is any news in the next two days, you must inform me as soon as possible."

"Definitely."

Chen Li wanted to ask something, but finally held back and didn't ask anything.

Zhao Chuning knew that she must want to ask about the leak of information, so she didn't say much and just turned around and left the company.

——————

Zhao Chuning went directly to CZ Company.

After the report, Cheng Zheng didn't hide from her and let her into the office directly.

She looked at the elegant man sitting at the desk and felt strange.

"Sit down." Cheng Zheng got up and walked to the sofa. He notified the secretary again: "Make a cup of coffee for Miss Zhao."

"No need." Zhao Chuning interrupted Cheng Zheng. She didn't sit down, but just stood there, looking at him coldly, "Why do you do this?"

"I have heard about the Tang Yi team." Cheng Zheng remained calm and composed in response to her questioning.

"Just heard about it? Mr. Cheng, you are plagiarizing."

"Chu Chu, you should calm down."

"I am very calm.

I am just disappointed with your behavior. But, fortunately, it doesn't matter - whether it is on the battlefield or in the business world, if you only have means but no strength, you will be eliminated sooner or later. This time you used such a low-level method to make Tang Yi your defeated opponent. In the future, he will pay you back in full."

At this point, Zhao Chuning didn't even want to look at Cheng Zheng for another second, and turned around and left. Cheng Zheng stood up suddenly and grabbed her.

"Let me go!" Zhao Chuning pushed Cheng Zheng's hand away in disgust.

"Do you still like him?" Cheng Zheng held her hand tighter, staring at her. Zhao Chuning was shocked and sneered, "This has nothing to do with liking. Besides, Mr. Cheng, whether I like someone or not has nothing to do with you."

"Chu Chu, ask yourself, is he worth your concern? He just treats you as a toy! The reason why he warned me to stay away from you is just because he thinks I covet his things, not his beloved woman!"

"Are you done?" Zhao Chuning's long eyelashes fluttered, and her face was even colder than before, "Let go when you're done!"

Cheng Zheng looked at her calm face steadily, trying to find a trace of shock on her face, but there was none.

She pulled her hand away and walked away, decisively and freely.

Cheng Zheng looked at the back and sat back on the sofa, his eyes becoming colder and colder.

What's so good about a man like Tang Yi? Why do women fall into his hands one by one?

Zhao Chuning walked out of Cheng Zheng's company and stood in the cold wind, shivering with cold. She wrapped her windbreaker tightly around herself, and the words: He just treats you as a toy kept echoing in her mind for a long time.

Ha~

She knows better than anyone! So, how could she be hit?

But...

Her chest still hurts. After all, it is undeniable that she once loved him sincerely.

——————

There has been no news in the company for the past two days.

Zhao Chuning asked people in the industry about the E30 project, and sure enough, Cheng Zheng finally won the bid.

She was a little depressed. Not only for Tang Yi, but also for everyone who had contributed to this project, she found it difficult to face.

She was too careless and didn't think that Cheng Zheng would do such a thing. After five years of hard work, she still didn't have enough vision to judge people.

Two days later, she made an appointment with Chen Li to have dinner at a high-end restaurant called "Meiyu", and the two sat in a small private room.

"What is the trend in the company now?" Zhao Chuning asked Chen Li.

"The investigation agency came once last time, but Mr. Tang insisted that it was not an employee who leaked the information, but that the information was plagiarized by CZ's people." Chen Li said this, looked at Zhao Chuning, and paused.

Zhao Chuning said: "Go on."

"Actually... Mr. Tang's statement is hard to convince the people in the project department. They still have a lot of complaints about you, thinking that Mr. Tang is protecting you. People from the headquarters also came and put a lot of pressure on Mr. Tang, asking him to investigate you thoroughly and publicly dismiss you. However, Mr. Tang strongly rejected them all."

Zhao Chuning's hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly.

Chen Li sighed: "Public dismissal is too serious. If you really do this, you really can't continue in this industry in the future. I guess Mr. Tang also considered this, so he insisted on not listening to the advice of the headquarters. However, I really didn't expect that Mr. Tang, who looks so cruel at ordinary times, would actually have a kind heart."

Listening to Chen Li's words, Zhao Chuning's heart was touched by something and trembled. Chen Li smiled, "Sister Chuning, you say... Is Mr. Tang really interested in you?"

Zhao Chuning came back to her senses, "Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. Only you can speak loudly in front of Mr. Tang, we dare not." Chen Li said firmly: "Anyway, I can see that you are definitely different with Mr. Tang."

Zhao Chuning smiled bitterly, she didn't want to be sentimental. If there is any difference, probably... I can only say that she is his ex-girlfriend. Maybe, there is some affection.

Although thinking so, the lake of heart was still disturbed by Chen Li's words.

While she was thinking, suddenly, a cold and mocking voice from a middle-aged man came from the next box: "Who promised before that the e30 project can definitely be won?"

e30 project?

Zhao Chuning and Chen Li looked at each other after hearing this.

The response to this voice was silence.

But the man continued to sarcastically say, "When we first established the branch, I suggested to Tang Yu that your brother Tang Wei take over, but you just wanted to be in the spotlight. Now that E30 is handed over to CZ, how are you going to explain it to Tang Yu?"

"This is my business, you don't need to worry about it, go back and take good care of your other beloved son. And - you are not qualified to come to me and point fingers at me!"

An even colder voice came through the wall, almost freezing the entire space. Zhao Chuning's heart suddenly lifted. This voice was actually Tang Yi!
