Tong Le continued to flip through the documents of the three individuals. After a brief understanding of their information, she tossed the papers aside and said, "Although I don't have much work experience, I've read a lot. Sometimes, in the workplace, it's all about psychological maneuvering."
Jiang Zhichao was even more confused. "Sister Tong, since you know so much, why didn't you come out and make a name for yourself before? Why stay at home?"
Tong Le felt as if she had been bewitched in the past! However, she didn’t regret those years spent in silence at home because she had been taking care of her father, at least accompanying him through his final days without leaving too many regrets. Her only regret now was not being able to figure out why both her father and mother had fallen ill.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the office lobby, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
Hou Yi had come to the company again. This time, he brought gifts—chocolates for everyone, beautifully packaged. Today, Hou Yi wore a black hoodie that made him look both rebellious and carefree as he strode into the lobby, heading straight for Tong Le without any concern for others' gazes or comments.
Jiang Zhichao, understanding the situation well, quickly got up to give Hou Yi space. It wasn't that he was particularly considerate; rather, he knew that if he didn't move quickly, he might end up getting hit.
Hou Yi settled into an office chair and leaned back casually. Tong Le took a deep breath and forced a smile. Every word she spoke felt like it was being shot out from between clenched teeth. "President Hou has graced us with his presence again! Here to deliver gifts to my company!"
Hou Yi smiled slightly. "Are you touched? I just came to check on you and see how our collaboration is progressing."
Tong Le replied, "That depends on the progress from Zong Shi Yan Tuan's side. If you come here, you won't get any updates."
Hou Yi leaned in closer to Tong Le. "Your husband isn't around; how about we go out for a walk?"
Tong Le felt helpless but maintained her forced smile. "Have you lost your mind? Or do you think that making me look ambiguous in front of the employees will excite you?"
Hou Yi suddenly raised his voice. "If you want me to accompany you secretly, that's not impossible!"
Seeing that Hou Yi was playing around, Tong Le quickly covered his mouth with her hand. Her hand had just gotten stained with red ink from a stamp, and she took this opportunity to smear it around Hou Yi's mouth.
Hou Yi pushed her hand away forcefully. Tong Le looked at the red marks around his mouth and couldn't help but laugh; this was truly instant karma!
Hou Yi turned to take out his phone and checked his reflection in the camera—a handsome face now turned into that of a clown thanks to Tong Le.
Just as he was about to explode with anger, Tong Le stood up and urged him, "Come on! Let's go out and have some fun! Let’s go embarrass ourselves!"
Hou Yi pointed at Tong Le triumphantly. "You wait until I clean up; I’ll deal with you then!"
He headed straight for the restroom while Tong Le also got up. She said, "The three people who were about to resign are coming with me to negotiate in the conference room."
Taking Jiang Zhichao along with her, they went to the conference room where the three employees entered one after another. Taking advantage of Hou Yi's absence, Tong Le locked the glass door behind them. The door was half frosted and half transparent; when Hou Yi returned, he would only be able to rage helplessly from outside the glass.
Tong Le and Jiang Zhichao took their seats, while three employees sat down in front of Tong Le. From right to left, two men and one woman were introduced: Zhou Dahai, Peng Jun, and Sister Han.
Tong Le deliberately repeated Sister Han's name twice, praising her for having such a cute name. Although Sister Han had initially intended not to smile, she couldn't help but chuckle at Tong Le's compliment. However, as soon as she smiled, Peng Jun, who was sitting next to her, playfully jabbed her thigh under the table, causing her to immediately retract her smile.
Tong Le observed the expressions of the three. She quickly discerned that Zhou Dahai, the oldest among them on the far right, was the leader of the group. In the middle sat the younger Peng Jun, who seemed to be a sycophant. According to the information Jiang Zhichao had provided, Sister Han was Peng Jun's girlfriend.
Tong Le had a particularly vivid impression of Sister Han because she remembered that during last year's Labor Day holiday, Sister Han had organized a fundraising event in their company. It was due to Tong Le's battle with uremia that they needed a significant amount of money for treatment. At that time, employees rallied together to help, which ultimately saved her life; however, ongoing treatment still required substantial funds.
With a complete plan forming in her mind, Tong Le decided to target Sister Han first.
