224: Are There Villains In the Company?

Zhao Chenlin didn't know that the company he was managing had been taken over by Wang Cheng, and Zhou Lin also didn't expect that the chairman would pass Yazhi to his grandson to give him a chance to practice.

After coming out of the chairman’s office, Wang Cheng returned to his seat and stared at the two documents in his hands. Suddenly, he felt self-aware. It must have been the things about Yazhi in his report that gave rise to this idea of his grandpa’s. It was okay to let him take over Yazhi, but why give three months?

Xie Wenzhi called out to him, but received no response. When he looked up, he found that the other seemed to be in a daze. That was a first. As he walked over, he saw two familiar documents on his desktop. He raised his eyebrows and knocked on the table: "Why are you in a daze?"

Wang Cheng was startled and raised his head, "What's the matter?"

"Did the chairman give you the responsibility of Yazhi?" Xie Wenzhi got it right.

"How did Xie Dage know?" Wang Cheng asked in surprise.

Xie Wenzhi said: "This is not difficult. The chairman had brought up that small company Yazhi for no reason. Now that the information is in your hands, you must be held accountable."

In Wang Cheng's mind, the scale of Yazhi was not small. However, from the perspective of profitability, Yazhi was indeed small. Many projects of the Zhou Group were more profitable than Yazhi.

"Does Xie Dage have any good suggestions?"

When Xie Wenzhi heard him ask for his opinion, he shook his head and smiled: "Hadn’t you have written a rough solution in the report? Entertainment media is different from other industries, so my opinion is the same as yours. Only you can think about the specific operation in the end, but I can give you a little advice."

"What?"

"You have to first understand Yazhi from the inside. You only know of the superficial problems, you have to start from its roots to solve the whole problem."

Well, this proposal was better than nothing.

After the morning passed, Wang Cheng was called by the chairman of the board to his office to have lunch together. The Zhou steward still sent someone to deliver the lunch. The rice and dishes came in a large quantity, all picked by the Zhou steward himself. It was very nutritious. It was not until later that Wang Cheng realized that the Zhou steward had a qualification certificate as a nutritionist.

In the afternoon, Wang Cheng carefully studied two materials. It hadn’t been long since Yazhi was founded, so there were not many materials.

In the beginning, Yazhi took advantage of the Zhou Group's reputation to find a lot of money and stand out from a large number of powerful competitors. After half a year, it successfully occupied a place in the entertainment circle and competed with several other powerful entertainment companies. The company formed a powerful trend.

Later, Zhou Lin felt that Yazhi had reached its peak, and her attention was drawn away by other more lucrative projects. She became less and less concerned about Yazhi, which led to worms in the company. After Zhao Chenlin took over, the internal situation became more serious, especially in relation to Zhao Chenlin, who was a person who didn’t care about his private life. As long as it was someone he liked, he would even start something with his own company's artist.

Naturally, other entertainment companies would not let go of this good opportunity, so they spared no effort to discredit Yazhi. Finally, it caused Yazhi to be surrounded by a large amount of negative news, and for the income to become lower and lower until it was almost impossible to make ends meet.

After putting away the information, Wang Cheng informed Xie Wenzhi before going to the sixty-ninth floor. The large-scale layoff incident occurred as a result of the last time he came down, so the colleagues of the 69th floor had a deep impression of him. Now, the remaining colleagues were those who got their jobs with their own effort. There were none who came through the backdoor. So, their working mood was a little better. With Wang Cheng's identity, the female colleagues were very active in running in front of him to curry favor, while the male colleagues stood not far away, watching the scene sourly.

"I don't know whether to thank Zhou Shao or to be jealous of Zhou Shao," A male colleague said bitterly.

"Jealous, definitely. Who is Young Master Zhou? He is rich, powerful, and looks very handsome. I heard that he also has a good personality. This kind of man is simply the public enemy of all men. You have got to be jealous!"

Wang Cheng was envied by male colleagues and somewhat overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of female colleagues. As a family man, he felt that he could not bear such enthusiasm. The person guarding the data room had been changed. This time, without Wang Cheng saying a word, the other party opened the door of the data room and said enthusiastically: "Zhou Shao, I am familiar with the information, so I can help you find whatever you’re looking for."

Wang Cheng looked at the dense pile of materials on the shelf, smiled, and nodded: "Then I will trouble you. I'm looking for a list of Yazhi's internal employees and artists."

The male colleague muttered a few words, glanced at the shelf like he was scanning it, and found it immediately. The information was placed on the top of the shelf, and a chair was needed to get it. He climbed up and pulled out the information, a thick stack of data from the establishment of Yazhi to the present.

"Zhou Shao, all the information you want is here."

Wang Cheng took it. "Thank you for doing me this favor. I will bring it back when I finish reading it."

Hearing his thanks, the male colleague was immediately flattered. He quickly waved his hand, "No need for thanks, no need for thanks, this is what I should do."

Wang Cheng walked out with the documents. When passing the elevator, the elevator door opened. Zhao Chenlin walked out with a hand in his pocket. He did not look like a person at work, but like a young master patrolling his company. He often left his job to find his mother.

Wang Cheng glanced at him and exited, but Zhao Chenlin deliberately blocked him.

"Zhou Cheng, who are you trying to show off such hard work to? To Grandpa? I say, you don't need to continue pretending, your real purpose in joining the company is actually for the Zhou Group, right?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Wang Cheng glanced at him. Why else should his mother give him the Zhou surname?

Zhao Chenlin was choked by his words, "You finally admitted that you are really plotting against the Zhou group. I’m telling you, don't even think about it."

Wang Cheng didn’t want to talk to him, so he clenched a fist and said, “I’m at work, I don’t want to spend time with you. My fist can’t see very well, and is likely to accidentally brush your cheek if you block me again. You can go tell your parents, but who do you think Grandpa will believe?"

"You!" Zhao Chenlin pointed at him angrily, his face flushed.

Wang Cheng didn't dare to do anything to him at this time, smiled contemptuously, and left.

Zhao Chenlin was so angry that his lungs almost exploded, and he furiously rushed to Zhou Lin's office. Seeing his son's expression, the only person Zhou Lin could think of was Wang Cheng. At this point, the only one who could make her son this angry was Wang Cheng.

"Why are you so angry, did you have an argument with Wang Cheng again?"

"Mom, that guy is so arrogant. He even threatened me just now that he wanted to hit me." Zhao Chenlin threw himself into the sofa and beat the sofa twice to vent his anger.

Zhou Lin lowered her face, "Were you provoking him again?"

Zhao Chenlin didn't answer, and cursed.

Zhou Lin grew irritated because of him. "How many times have I warned you, don’t face Wang Cheng now. You just don’t listen. He now has your grandpa’s favor. Even if you make trouble about this in front of your grandpa, you will only suffer. Why can’t you understand that a small leak can sink a great ship? Now your grandpa’s impression of you is getting worse and worse. You must keep a low profile for me. When this period of time passes, your grandpa will no longer remember those Yazhi things. If you still want to get the Zhou Group, just listen to me."

"Mom, what are you talking about? How can Grandpa know about the Yazhi things?" Zhao Chenlin thought that it was over.

When mentioning this, Zhou Lin grew irritable. "Your grandfather asked Assistant Xie to pass the Yazhi data in the morning. He must know what you did, so you are not responsible for Yazhi in the future. However, that’s fine, Yazhi would have always been a stain on you."

"Why so sudden? Who did Grandpa give Yazhi Media to?" Zhao Chenlin did not feel relaxed, for he was still very satisfied with Yazhi. Through Yazhi, he could get in touch with many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, and meet those young and old who had the same hobbies as him. Even if Yazhi didn't make much money, he never thought about not wanting it.

Zhou Lin sneered. How could she, who knew her son, not see his thoughts. She was very smart when she was a child. As she grew up, she didn't know who to mix in with. Now that was becoming less and less useful. She knew it would be like this, so she should find a way [?].

"I don't know, I'll know in the meeting tomorrow."

Zhao Chenlin rolled his eyes, "Mom, after the meeting, tell me who it is. Yazhi is a company that I have managed for over half a year; some things have to stay.”

"I see, now get back to your job. Don’t come down to me in the future, and hold back in front of others. Now is a sensitive period. I stabbed [?] you in front of your grandfather, so with your grandfather’s temper, he might let you stay back home to rest." Zhou Lin's worry was not unreasonable.

Zhao Chenlin no longer entangled her after he got a satisfactory answer.

Mother Zheng often went to the Zhou house these two days. In order to decorate the study room for her son, she personally went to the furniture store to see all the furniture. It took her a long time to choose satisfactory ones. Even with Zheng Jingxue's combat power, it was too much for her, and she surrendered, taking her own things and running to find her friends.

For dinner, she stayed at the Zhou house to eat. She kept filling Wang Cheng and Zhou Shichang’s plates with vegetables from the table, showing off the deep feelings between the father and daughter and mother and son, making Zhou Lin's family look like outsiders. She had to pretend not to care, but she was probably vomiting blood in her heart. After eating, Mother Zheng went to the living room to talk with her father and son.

Wang Cheng was drinking water to rinse his mouth, when he suddenly heard Mother Zheng say, "Chengcheng, how are you at the company recently? Are there any villains?”

Wang Cheng almost spit out a mouthful of water, and continued to choke. He coughed twice before stopping. When he looked up, he saw Mother Zheng's very serious expression. She then blinked at him, "Son, are you okay?"

Wang Cheng shook his head, "I’m okay. I'm doing fine in the company, villains don’t dare to provoke me now. Don't worry about it, Mother." Then he glanced at the people across from him, and his face turned dark. As expected, he was sure that Mother Zheng said so after hearing about the company.

Back in the room, Wang Cheng received a call from Mama Wang. He had been busy since going to work, and hadn’t heard his parents' voices for a while. When Mama Wang spoke, he especially felt that he missed them. He threw over a few questions in his excitement.

"Mother, how are you and father doing? Can you handle the family jam business? Have you hired more workers?"

Mama Wang’s laughter came over, and Papa Wang could be heard talking. She then replied, “Your father and I are doing very well. Your father has been very busy recently digging up the north mountain’s medicinal materials. A group of workers run to the north mountain every day. By the way, ever since your grandpa ate the ginseng gifted by your biological mother, his health is getting better and better. Remember to help your mother say thank you to your biological mother."

"That's great, I'll tell my mother. One thing’s not right - if Father went to the north mountain, who is watching that Chengping shop. Is it always you?"

"Of course not. Originally your first aunt was also helping, but your eldest brother is going to take your eldest cousin to the Imperial Capital to see a doctor, and your aunt will also go with them. So, after discussing it with your dad, I decided to find your third aunt to see if she has any time. If it doesn’t work, your sister’s school will not start for a few days. You don’t have to worry about this, your father and I will take care of it.”

"When are my eldest brother and auntie going to come over? If there is anything that they need help with, I can also help.”

"Your elder brother said that he has arranged it and will look for you if he needs your help."

"By the way, for my elder brother's company, can he really take as long a break he wants? The company won’t urge him?" His elder brother said that he might stay for half a month, but half a month had now passed.

"I don't know about this. He said he can handle it by himself. They are going there the day after tomorrow. Or, you can drive to the airport to pick them up. However, when I talked to your biological mother on the phone earlier, she said that you are now working in your grandpa's company. Do you have time the day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow is March 2nd, right? No problem, I don't need to report to the company every day."

"Okay, let me tell your elder brother. First, you should be tired after working all day. Mother won't disturb you. Go to bed early, good night."

"Mother, go to bed earlier, good night."

After finishing the call, Wang Cheng saw two missed calls from Chu Yifeng. He called but received a busy tone that the other party was on a call. After waiting for a while, he was still on the call. Wang Cheng sent him a message and told him he’d contact him at noon tomorrow, only to wake up the next day and find a reply to his text message.
