Chapter 414: Following Zheng Pengcheng (3)
After pulling Zheng Pengcheng into the office, Director Wang pointed to the desk closest to the inside and introduced,
"Brother Zheng, that's my seat."
Looking at the phone on Director Wang's desk, Zheng Pengcheng understood that Director Wang mainly wanted to tell him that the phone was there.
"Xiao Qian, I have a guest here. Please go and get me a glass of water." Director Wang said to the young man sitting at the outermost table in the office.
"Okay, Director Wang, I'll go right away."
Xiao Qian agreed and went to get a cup and pour water.
He directed Zheng Pengcheng to sit on the chair opposite his desk, "Brother Zheng, you sit first."
After Xiao Qian poured the water, he came to Zheng Pengcheng and offered it to him with both hands, "Comrade, please have some tea."
Zheng Pengcheng stood up and took the teacup, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After Director Wang talked to Zheng Pengcheng for a few more words, he said to him, "Brother Zheng, please sit here and wait. I have some things to deal with here."
"Brother Wang, just go about your business. No need to call me."
Director Wang turned to the other people in the office and said,
"Let's go to the conference room for a meeting. I have something to tell you about the completion of this month's procurement tasks."
"Director, didn't we have a meeting yesterday? Why are we having another one today?" someone in the office asked in confusion.
Director Wang frowned and reprimanded, "Am I the director, or are you the director?
Do I need to report to you when I organize a meeting?
We had a meeting yesterday, so why can’t we have it today?
You haven't made any progress on your purchasing task this month, and you still have the nerve to talk back to me.
If you had spent the time you spend arguing with me on work, you wouldn't be at the bottom of the list every month and hold our department back."
When the man heard Director Wang say this, he quickly shrank his neck and dared not say anything.
"Okay, don't waste time here, go to the conference room and wait for me, I'll be there soon."
No one in the office dared to say anything, for fear of picking up the things for the meeting, and went out to the meeting room.
"Brother Zheng, I've sent everyone away. I'll close the door later. Just go ahead and make the call.
There are storage rooms on both sides of our department. Usually there is no one there, so you don’t have to worry about being overheard.”
"Thank you, Brother Wang." Zheng Pengcheng quickly expressed his gratitude.
Director Wang stood up and walked out of the office, closing the door behind him.
After Director Wang arrived at the conference room, a colleague suggested to him, "Director, we are having a meeting here. Isn't it a bad idea to leave your friend in the office?"
Director Wang glared at him and said, "What's wrong with that? Are you worried that he will steal our secrets or steal things?"
Xiao Qian quickly flattered him, "The director's friend must be a very good person, there is no way he would steal our things.
As for stealing secrets, our department is only responsible for purchasing, so there is no possibility of any secrets."
"You, you've been working for so many years, and it's still not worth a penny.
If you were half as smart as Xiao Qian, you wouldn't have been just an ordinary employee for all these years and couldn't get promoted.
Learn more every day." Director Wang said to the man.
The man nodded hurriedly to show that he had learned his lesson.
Someone nearby changed the subject, "Director, let's have a meeting now."
"Everyone, please tell us about your completion of tasks this month."
Someone was about to say that they had just said that yesterday, but was stopped by someone next to him, "Director, I'll go first."
After Director Wang left, Zheng Pengcheng immediately stood up and walked to the other side of the office, picked up the phone, and started calling his grandfather's office.
The nanny is the only one at home at this time, and you can only find her by calling the office.
The phone was connected after a few rings, and my grandfather's familiar voice came from the receiver, "Who is this?"
"Grandpa, it's me, Xiao Cheng."
"It's Xiao Cheng, you haven't called home for a long time.
I was thinking about calling you to contact you and ask about the situation."
After hearing this, Zheng Pengcheng felt that his grandfather still cared about him, and he felt comforted.
"After going to the countryside, I have been working in the fields and have no time to come to the town, so I have less contact with my family," Zheng Pengcheng explained.
"Xiao Cheng, where are you calling from? Is it convenient to talk?"
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I was calling from a friend's office and there was no one else around.
If you have anything to say, just say it. "
"Xiao Cheng, how have you been lately?"
After hearing what his grandfather said, Zheng Pengcheng didn't know how to respond.
I've been so unlucky recently. I've been wounded all the time and I've lost a lot of money. How can this be considered a good thing?
But he was worried that if he told the truth, his grandfather would worry about him.
Because he hadn't figured out how to answer, Zheng Pengcheng stood there in a daze for a moment and didn't answer.
"Xiao Cheng, why don't you speak?
Is the situation over there very bad?
You know Grandpa's temper, I want to hear the truth, don't tell lies to fool me." Grandpa's voice became a little stern.
Hearing what his grandfather said, Zheng Pengcheng no longer concealed it, "Grandpa, the situation here is very bad."
Mr. Zheng's heart skipped a beat, "Why is it so difficult? Is it because Zhou Mingxuan is difficult to deal with?
Please tell me more specifically. "
“It would be great if it was Zhou Mingxuan.
The two of us have just arrived and haven't found our feet yet, so we haven't really started fighting yet.
But I don’t know what’s wrong with me lately. I’ve been so unlucky, nothing has gone my way, and I’ve been getting hurt all the time.
Zhou Mingxuan and the others teased me, saying that I was contaminated with something unclean, otherwise I wouldn't be so unlucky.
They also asked me to find a temple to worship, or asked me to find some strange people to help me.
They said that if I continued to be unlucky like this, I might die here one day. "
"Would Zhou Mingxuan be so kind to remind you?" Mr. Zheng was a little puzzled.
"He said he was afraid that I would die here. Even if there was evidence that it had nothing to do with him, you would still think that he was the one who did it. Then he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River."
"This kid is quite a sensible person."
“Grandpa, do you have any way to find those people?
I want them to help me take a look.
I don’t want to continue to be unlucky like this.” Zheng Pengcheng said nervously.
Although he is his grandfather's grandson, his grandfather has many grandsons and he is just one of them, and not the most outstanding one. As a result, he has never dared to make too many requests in front of his grandfather.
This time he not only made a request, but also involved those extraordinary people. Zheng Pengcheng didn't know whether his importance in his grandfather's heart was enough for him to lose face and ask for help.
That's why he was so nervous when he made this request.
Mr. Zheng did not answer him directly, but continued to ask, "How long have you been unlucky?"
Zheng Pengcheng thought about it and said, "About twenty days."
Mr. Zheng sighed, "The timing is right."
"Grandpa, what do you mean?
What time does it match?" Zheng Pengcheng asked puzzledly.
"Xiao Cheng, I won't hide it from you. Not only you, but all other direct descendants of the Zheng family have been experiencing bad luck recently.
You are still okay, you just get hurt occasionally, some people are worse off than you.
For example, your third cousin fell down the stairs and broke his leg, and he is still in the hospital.
Your second uncle got into trouble and was dismissed from his post.
Your father is also on suspension.
The others also have their own troubles, but none of them are good. "
"Xiao Cheng, our Zheng family is in trouble this time."
