Chen Wei met General Manager Chen at their usual place. After giving him the USB drive, General Manager Chen was very satisfied. He promised Chen Wei that if he succeeded, not only would he give her a generous reward, but he would also offer her the position of deputy general manager at Juzheng.
On the surface, Chen Wei remained calm, showing no sign of emotion. But inside, she was overjoyed. After all, she had taken a huge risk to obtain the confidential information for General Manager Chen, and the compensation he promised was well deserved.
After separating from General Manager Chen, Chen Wei was on her way home when, unexpectedly, she got into a car accident. She was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
When General Manager Chen got home, he happily plugged in the USB drive. Finally, he had all of Zhai's confidential information. He no longer had to fear Zhai Cheng and could save Juzheng. He was grinning from ear to ear.
However, he didn't expect that the USB drive Chen Wei had brought was password - protected.
"Damn it!" He was furious. His good mood vanished instantly. General Manager Chen took out his phone and dialed Chen Wei's number, intending to ask for the password. But no matter how many times he tried, he couldn't get through. Did she play him on purpose?
He called Chen Wei's home and learned that she had been in a car accident on her way back and was in the middle of emergency treatment. No one knew when she would wake up.
This was really disappointing. He had the confidential information in hand but couldn't access it. General Manager Chen felt extremely frustrated. He was so angry that he almost crushed his phone.
He let out a muffled grunt. Chen Wei was lying in the hospital, and no one knew when she would wake up. He couldn't just sit around waiting for her. By the time she woke up, it might be too late. He might be able to wait, but Juzheng couldn't.
It was already midnight when Zhai Cheng received the news of Chen Wei's car accident. He took Song Ge and rushed to the hospital overnight. He begged the doctor to do everything possible to save Chen Wei.
Zhai Cheng had long known that Chen Wei was a traitor and had always been on guard against her. But he didn't expect that she would be bold enough to sneak into his office and steal the commercial secrets. Those secrets could bring down Juzheng. If they were leaked, it would definitely have a negative impact on Zhai's. Fortunately, he had set a password for the confidential information, so General Manager Chen couldn't access it for the time being.
Alas, Zhai Cheng frowned tightly. He looked extremely exhausted. Song Ge didn't know what was going on and just followed Zhai Cheng in a daze. She didn't understand why Zhai Cheng had found someone to replace Chen Wei last time. Now that Chen Wei had a car accident and Zhai Cheng seemed so anxious, Song Ge was even more confused.
It wasn't until Chen Wei woke up and confessed everything that Song Ge finally understood. This Chen Wei was actually a traitor. It was a good thing that Zhai Cheng had been on guard against her.
Although the confidential information was password - protected, General Manager Chen had managed to crack a bit of it using some high - tech means. Even this small amount of leaked information had a negative impact on Zhai's.
People on the internet were scolding Zhai Cheng and Zhai's. The stock price of Zhai's kept falling. It was on the verge of collapse.
On the other hand, General Manager Chen's Juzheng Enterprise was thriving. It not only avoided bankruptcy but also attracted investors.
Zhai Cheng's carefully designed trap had come to nothing. He was heart - broken and was also thinking about how to make up for the loss.
In any case, this matter couldn't end like this. It was General Manager Chen who had caused all this. Unless General Manager Chen went bankrupt and Juzheng collapsed, Zhai Cheng would always feel uncomfortable. Only when Juzheng failed completely and General Manager Chen was a total loser could he feel at ease.
To deal with the sudden incident of the confidential information leak, Zhai Cheng directly appointed Zhang Hui as the deputy general manager. She was to follow all of Zhai Cheng's instructions.
Only Zhai Cheng had the right to order Zhang Hui. This meant that Zhang Hui had extremely high authority in Zhai's. After Zhai Cheng, she had the highest status in the company.
Zhai Cheng and Zhang Hui often worked overtime to deal with the confidential information leak. They would stay up all night.
After just a few days, Zhai Cheng looked several years older. He didn't even have time to shave his stubble. Song Ge cooked on time every day and waited for Zhai Cheng to come home, but he never came back on time.
He would always return home in the middle of the night, looking exhausted. He would just fall into bed and sleep without even saying a few words. Song Ge felt very sorry for Zhai Cheng and offered to go to the company to help him get through this difficult time.
But Zhai Cheng always shook his head and told Song Ge to stay at home and wait for him. He said he had Zhang Hui to help him solve problems.
However, Song Ge still felt sad. Zhang Hui was Zhang Hui, and she was herself. Why didn't Zhai Cheng accept her kindness?
These days, Zhai Cheng and Zhang Hui had been getting very close. They worked together in the company, discussed matters, and even had meals together. Zhai Cheng would personally send Zhang Hui home every day.
Although Zhai Cheng had a girlfriend, many people in Zhai's didn't know about Song Ge. With Zhang Hui and Zhai Cheng getting closer and being old friends, there were inevitably some rumors in the company.
When Song Ge went to Zhai's to deliver meals to Zhai Cheng, she accidentally heard the receptionists discussing Zhai Cheng and Zhang Hui.
They said that Zhang Hui had slept in Zhai Cheng's office again last night. They were so well - matched, one handsome and the other beautiful. Moreover, Zhang Hui was the daughter of a wealthy family, so their family backgrounds were also a good match. They wished that Zhai Cheng and Zhang Hui would get engaged right away.
Someone else said, "But General Manager Zhai already has a girlfriend. Her name is Song Ge, and he brought her to the company before."
Song Ge heard someone sneer and say, "That country bumpkin doesn't deserve Zhai Cheng. She should know her own place if she wants to marry into a wealthy family. Only a versatile woman like Miss Zhang Hui can marry Zhai Cheng."
Song Ge was holding the lunch box. She felt a little sad. The words of the receptionists had triggered her sense of inferiority. She just wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Forget it, she comforted herself in her heart. So what if she didn't deserve him? So what if her family background was not good? Anyway, Zhai Cheng liked her, not Zhang Hui.
Song Ge forced a smile and raised her head. When she got to Zhai Cheng's office, the assistant told her that Zhai Cheng was having lunch with Zhang Hui.
Song Ge looked at the lunch box in her hand. She thought that what the receptionists had said was true. She was such a joke. She used to think that Zhai Cheng's love could comfort her, but now it seemed that she was wrong.
Song Ge took the cold food back home. Not only was the food cold, but her heart was also cold.
It was almost time to send Xiaoyu back as agreed with Hou Chenyi. Song Ge wiped away her tears and prepared to send Xiaoyu back later.
She would be alone again. Even Xiaoyu would be gone. Song Ge couldn't help feeling sad. She wondered how Zhai Cheng was doing. He should be very happy having lunch with his old friend, right?
