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

Chapter 117 Entrusted with important tasks

Ye Cheng said, "The Chen Group won't collapse unless we bring the city lord in."

Shen Qingrou asked in surprise, "What are you going to do? If it's too dangerous, I won't allow it."

Ye Cheng said, "It's not dangerous. The time has come for you to use your strengths."

Shen Qingrou looked at Ye Cheng with a puzzled expression: "My special skill?"

Ye Cheng nodded: "Use a virtual network signal to call the city lord and let him know who has Li Zhanyue in their hands."

Shen Qingrou guessed Ye Cheng's idea: as long as they did it discreetly, the city lord wouldn't be able to track their signal, and then they would be safe.

"Okay, when do we play?"

Ye Cheng said, "Let things escalate a bit more. It's not too late to contact the city lord tonight."

The most urgent task is to have Chairman Shen contact the Cheng family and unite the business community of Hedong City to launch an attack on the Chen Group.

Shen Qingrou said, "You mean I should contact Old Man Shen now?"

Ye Cheng said, "Otherwise what?"

However, Shen Qingrou threw her phone onto the bed and said, "I don't care."

Wash your face, eat breakfast, and get ready for work.

Left with no other choice, Ye Cheng took out his phone and called Shen Qianfeng.

Shen Qianfeng was on his way to work when he saw that the caller ID showed Ye Cheng. He answered the phone with a puzzled look and asked, "What's up?"

Ye Cheng got straight to the point: "Chairman, a popular live streamer on a video website has exposed the affair between Zhanyue Company and the Chen Group."

The video has caused a huge sensation; you can watch it on your phone if it's convenient.

Even the usually composed and mature Shen Qianfeng was taken aback by this news. He lowered his voice and asked, "Wasn't Li Zhanyue in District Chief Xu's hands? How did he end up on a video website?"

Ye Cheng did not reveal the truth to Shen Qianfeng, and asked with the same doubt, "I'm not quite sure either. District Chief Xu is under a lot of pressure. He must have used some special connections to hand over Li Zhanyue."

Now that the matter has been exposed, we must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I suggest that the chairman put aside his grievances with the Cheng Group, contact Chairman Cheng, and combine the strengths of both companies to lead the Hedong City business community in launching an attack on the Chen Group.

Shen Qianfeng said, "I can let go of past grievances, but I don't know if that woman Cheng Xiufang is willing to."

"Okay, let me find out the details first, then I'll convene a meeting with the board members after I get to the group, and then we'll make a decision."

Ye Cheng flattered, "Chairman, you are wise."

Shen Qianfeng grinned: "Kid, I thought I had overestimated you, but I didn't expect I still underestimated you."

"Get that girl Qingrou sorted out as soon as possible. I have high hopes for you."

Ye Cheng said, "Since you've said so, of course I will do my best."

Shen Qianfeng said "good" three times before hanging up the phone.

Shen Qingrou, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, looked annoyed and got up to go to the washroom without saying a word.

After washing up and having breakfast, I drove Ye Cheng to the group headquarters. As soon as I entered the elevator, I received a notice to attend a meeting.

Shen Qingrou pushed Ye Cheng directly to the conference room, and Du Miaowei rushed over upon hearing the news.

After Shen Qingrou entered the conference room, Du Miaowei asked Ye Cheng, "Did District Chief Xu hire a big-name anchor to expose Li Zhanyue's affair with the Chen Group?"

Ye Cheng shook his head and said cryptically, "This matter has nothing to do with District Chief Xu. He has never met Li Zhanyue. It must be kept secret."

Otherwise, District Chief Xu's life would be in danger.

Du Miaowei was startled and nervously promised, "I understand."

Ye Cheng then asked, "An earthquake is coming to the commercial district of Hedong City. What are your plans?"

Du Miaowei didn't quite understand Ye Cheng's meaning: "What kind of plans could I, an assistant, possibly have, working like a beast of burden?"

Ye Cheng said, "The Shen Group will definitely expand its business. Since Shen Qingrou intends to make you the president, and you have also contributed to Li Zhanyue's matter, you can't get away with the position of president."

How will you achieve great things in this position?

Du Miaowei suddenly realized what was going on and asked Ye Cheng, "Brother, was it you who suggested that President Shen make me the president?"

So that I can legitimately escape my undercover life?

Ye Cheng shook his head: "It wasn't me, it was Shen Qingrou who made the decision out of consideration for her close friend's feelings."

She genuinely wants what's best for you.

A look of guilt flashed in Du Miaowei's eyes: "I told Director Ling about this, but she doesn't agree with me becoming the president."

Unless they can get you to be their assistant.

I know this is impossible.

Therefore, I had no expectations of becoming the president.

From the moment I willingly became an undercover agent for Qingrou, I knew that within the Shen Group, as long as Qingrou remained in power, I would have no chance of promotion.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can make money."

Ye Chengdao: "Have you never thought about escaping this kind of life?"

Du Miaowei's eyes lit up with anticipation: "Director Ling said that as long as her son becomes the chairman, she will give me shares in the group and make me a member of the board of directors."

Ye Cheng asked, "What do you think are the chances that Director Ling will be able to keep his promise?"

Du Miaowei said, "Based on my understanding of Director Ling, she is a very trustworthy person."

However, they were somewhat cruel in their treatment of gentleness.

Perhaps she was unwilling to accept it either.

Ye Cheng said with feeling, "I always felt that she was hiding a huge secret."

Perhaps the fight for the inheritance of the Shen Group isn't just about her son.

Du Miaowei was taken aback: "Brother Ye means..."

Ye Cheng said, "I don't have enough evidence, so I can't make any rash statements right now."

Just then, the conference room door opened, and the group's senior executives came out one after another, whispering among themselves.

Shen Qianfeng emerged last, accompanied by Ling Suqiu and Shen Qingrou.

Upon seeing Ye Cheng sitting in a wheelchair, he walked over and asked curiously, "Ye Cheng, have you recovered yet?"

Why is she still in a wheelchair?

Ye Cheng smiled sheepishly: "I'm used to sitting. In a few days, I'll be able to walk independently."

Still uneasy, Shen Qianfeng asked, "Are you really able to walk?"

Ye Cheng nodded.

Shen Qianfeng requested, "Then walk a couple of steps so I can see."

Left with no other choice, Ye Cheng got out of his wheelchair.

He walked very steadily, without showing any signs of running fast.

Shen Qingrou pushed the wheelchair over, pressed Ye Cheng into it, and protested to Shen Qianfeng, "I like pushing Ye Cheng, so what?"

Shen Qianfeng looked at his daughter speechlessly and said, "Whether we can reach a cooperation agreement with the Cheng Group this time depends on you."

Shen Qingrou frowned: "I told you I couldn't do this kind of thing, and asked you to send another high-level person over there. Why did you choose me?"

Don't tell me this is a training exercise to help me build prestige; I don't care about that kind of talk.

Seeing Shen Qingrou's resistance, Ling Suqiu was secretly pleased, but she still encouraged her, "Other senior executives have more or less been involved in business conflicts with the Cheng Group."

You are the only one who didn't experience that time because of your age.

In addition, as the daughter of the Shen family, your words carry weight.

Therefore, we have no choice but to send you to break the deadlock.
