"Fine!"
Jiang Yi nodded and then left the office.
Ye Yanran's secretary looked puzzled.
"Chairwoman, Manager Dong isn't busy today! Why did you lie to Mr. Jiang?" the secretary asked, confused.
"You talk too much!"
Ye Yanran threw the documents on her desk at the secretary.
"Organize all these documents today, and you're not allowed to leave until you're done."
The secretary was stunned!
She didn't understand what she had said wrong.
When Jiang Yi reached the lobby downstairs, he found Zhou Mao.
"Isn't it boring just staying here?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"With He Meimei and Tao Shen accompanying me, I'm not bored at all!"
Zhou Mao grinned.
"I'm eager to see what kind of job Tao Shen will find for us."
Jiang Yi was speechless!
Zhou Mao clearly intended to play a trick on He Meimei and Tao Shen.
Just then, He Meimei and Tao Shen walked in from outside.
As soon as He Meimei saw Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao, her eyebrows furrowed, and she said to Tao Shen, "With their demeanor, how could Tiangsheng Group possibly want them? You shouldn't have promised to help them find jobs. I feel embarrassed."
"Darling, don't be angry. I'm just playing with them. I never intended to find them jobs. I plan to make them wait for a day and then tell them in the afternoon that all positions are filled," Tao Shen said with a smile.
He Meimei chuckled upon hearing this.
"You're so wicked!"
"I'm only teasing them to make you happy. Alright, you sit in the lobby and wait for me for a while. I'll submit your application to the HR manager."
"We hit it off immediately, and he'll definitely give me face. Once you become a part of the company, we'll be able to work together at Tiangsheng Group!" Tao Shen said.
"Mm!"
He Meimei's face was filled with anticipation.
After watching Tao Shen enter the elevator, He Meimei walked towards Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao, her face beaming with pride.
"You two wait here. My husband is arranging things for you," He Meimei said to Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao.
"Will this work?" Zhou Mao asked intentionally.
"Of course, it will. My husband is a manager at Tiangsheng Group, a high-level executive. He can get this simple matter done with just a word," He Meimei said proudly.
Zhou Mao pretended to be excited and thanked her repeatedly.
Zhou Mao knew that He Meimei and Tao Shen were playing a trick on him and Jiang Yi. He was cooperating because he intended to turn the tables.
"Let He Meimei be smug for now. Later, you find an excuse to get Tao Shen fired! Then we'll see how smug He Meimei is," Zhou Mao whispered to Jiang Yi.
"I'm afraid I can't do that! I'm no longer the Chairwoman of Tiangsheng Group. It's not my decision who gets fired," Jiang Yi shrugged.
He also found Tao Shen displeasing.
But this was a company, not a child's play. It wasn't a matter of firing someone just because he wanted to.
Besides, he had no intention of messing with them.
He had serious business to attend to at Tiangsheng Group.
"Forget it, if you won't help, I'll find a way myself."
Zhou Mao wore a playful smile.
He had already thought of a good plan.
As Jiang Yi looked towards the lobby entrance, he was stunned again.
The coincidences today could no longer be described as mere coincidences.
Luo Gang and Yang Dawei walked in from outside the lobby, both holding documents.
From the looks of it, they were here to pick up orders at Tiangsheng Group.
The orders in their hands were small ones that big companies didn't want.
They wouldn't even get a chance at the larger orders.
Soon, Luo Gang and Yang Dawei spotted Jiang Yi and the others and paused, then walked over.
Luo Gang and Yang Dawei greeted He Meimei with smiles but completely ignored Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao.
"Why are you here at Tiangsheng Group too?" Yang Dawei asked He Meimei curiously.
"My husband found me a job at Tiangsheng Group. From now on, I'm one of the Tiangsheng Group people."
He Meimei began to show off.
Hearing this, Luo Gang and Yang Dawei's faces were filled with envy.
"Luo Gang, Yang Dawei, we're old classmates. You're pretending not to see me and Jiang Yi. Is this how you act as old classmates?" Zhou Mao said with a smile.
"Do you two have the right to be our old classmates?"
Luo Gang sneered. "Thinking that you two are our old classmates makes me feel ashamed. Listen closely, from now on, we are no longer old classmates. If you try to get chummy with me again, don't blame me for being impolite."
Yang Dawei also chimed in.
Their eyes were filled with disdain as they looked at Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao.
Zhou Mao burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Luo Gang asked Zhou Mao, frowning.
Yang Dawei and He Meimei looked at Zhou Mao with the same gaze.
"The three of you are too condescending!"
Zhou Mao said, "Jiang Yi and I consider you old classmates and cherish our camaraderie. Yet, you show us this attitude. Do you know who founded Tiangsheng Group?"
"What? Are you saying you founded it?"
He Meimei burst into laughter.
"Tiangsheng Group was indeed not founded by me, but by Jiang Yi," Zhou Mao said. "With just a word from Jiang Yi, he can make you go bankrupt, and at the same time, turn He Meimei's husband into an unemployed wanderer. If you apologize now, I can ask Jiang Yi to let you off the hook out of consideration for our past friendship."
As soon as these words were spoken, He Meimei, Luo Gang, and Yang Dawei erupted into laughter.
Their laughter was filled with mockery.
"I never knew your ability to brag was so great!"
He Meimei said directly to Zhou Mao, "You don't even draft your lies, you're so good at boasting. If Jiang Yi could found Tiangsheng Group, I could be the president of the Provincial Chamber of Commerce."
"Zhou Mao, you're not going to say that the Governor of Jiang Province is your dad later, are you? Your bragging skills are truly unmatched," Yang Dawei also said.
Afterward, the three of them laughed again.
Zhou Mao also joined in the laughter.
Yang Dawei's words were deliberately mocking Zhou Mao.
However, Yang Dawei had inadvertently hit the nail on the head; the Governor of Jiang Province was indeed Zhou Mao's father.
"You don't believe me?" Zhou Mao asked with a smile.
"Do you think we would believe you? Anyone with half a brain can see that you and Jiang Yi are just putting on an act. With Jiang Yi's capabilities, he'll never achieve such success in his life. I think you're just dreaming in broad daylight," He Meimei scoffed.
"Alright, wait for me for ten minutes, and you'll believe me!"
Zhou Mao grinned and ran upstairs.
Jiang Yi was a bit stunned, not knowing what Zhou Mao intended to do.
