Ye Zhi held her phone, looking at the tall wall in front of her with a speechless expression.
The acquisition of Shunda was essentially settled. She had already transferred personnel from Taoxun to form a new department to set more scientific salary standards and optimize Shunda's existing sorting system.
She herself was now preparing to visit a digital map company to discuss cooperation.
However, after downloading their map application and using the navigation provided to find the company, the result was…
…as it was now.
The navigation had led her here and then instructed her to move forward. How was she supposed to move forward? Drive into the wall? Did this terrible navigation think she could phase through walls?
Ye Zhi sighed in frustration. She had been mentally prepared, guessing that the navigation in this world wouldn't be that smart, but she truly hadn't expected it to be this absurd. She could only open the map and plan her route herself.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was Yu Ji calling. Ye Zhi pressed the answer button.
"Director Yu, is something wrong with Yu Zhe?"
"President Ye, it's like this," Yu Ji said with some hesitation. "You previously said not to pay too much attention to your brother. However, his roommates seem to be taking good care of him, taking over a lot of his work. I didn't instruct them to do this; it seems they volunteered…"
Ye Zhi was a little surprised. Ye Yu Zhe actually had good relationships?
It seemed things were better than she had anticipated. He was surrounded by kind people. Being enveloped by such goodwill could help steer Ye Yu Zhe's potentially misguided path back in the right direction.
"Don't worry about it, let nature take its course," Ye Zhi said. "Keep a closer eye on him, and strengthen the site patrols these few days. If you find any suspicious individuals, apprehend them immediately!"
Yu Ji quickly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhi's expression grew more serious.
News of Ye Yu Zhe being sent to the construction site would surely reach Ou Minghan's ears soon. Although Ou Minghan was likely still following the plot, he would absolutely not miss this opportunity and would definitely make a move within these next few days.
She just needed to wait patiently for Ou Minghan to make his move.
Speaking of which, today was the day Chen Wei's case was scheduled for retrial.
She had originally planned to accompany Chen Wei, but he had refused. He said he wanted to face this past himself and personally win this battle.
Ye Zhi knew he had a psychological hurdle, so she let him have his way. Judging by the time, the trial should be ending.
She picked up her phone and directly called Chen Wei.
"Has the trial concluded?" Ye Zhi asked directly.
"Yes, it's over," Chen Wei said excitedly. "Today's trial went very smoothly. It's a shame Ou Minghan didn't come; his assistant did. The verdict won't be out until next week, but it should be fine…"
Listening quietly as he finished, Ye Zhi was also happy for him. Qianbai was in a period of turmoil, and Ou Minghan didn't have the time to concern himself with such minor matters, which was why it went so smoothly.
"Congratulations in advance then," Ye Zhi said sincerely.
After a brief chat, they hung up.
Chen Wei walked out of the courthouse and saw a dejected Feng Jie. He suddenly called out to him, "Assistant Feng."
Feng Jie stopped, looking somewhat lost.
"You are a very capable person. Why must you stay by the side of someone like Ou Minghan?" Chen Wei said with a hint of regret. "If you left him, you would undoubtedly achieve greater things."
"Mr. Chen, you flatter me," Feng Jie said listlessly. "I haven't thought about these things, nor will I."
Because thinking about it was useless, Feng Jie added in his mind. He turned and left directly, going to find Ou Minghan with worry.
He had to report this court session to Ou Minghan. He could already imagine Ou Minghan's furious reaction.
If possible, he actually wanted to leave Ou Minghan. However, after following Ou Minghan for so many years, even though he only handled the visible tasks, he knew to some extent that Ou Minghan had done a lot of dirty deeds in private.
Even if he had never shown it, with Ou Minghan's suspicious nature, he would absolutely not let him leave.
However, now that Qianbai was in trouble, and even Ou Minghan was about to be driven out of the center of power, it gave him an opportunity.
He could first apply to be transferred to a remote province to develop business, and then after a few years, when Ou Minghan gradually forgot about him, he might be able to resign successfully. As for changing companies or going to Taoxun, he wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
With his mind full of worries, Feng Jie arrived at Ou's mansion. Upon meeting Ou Minghan, he cautiously reported the court session to him.
"President, I failed to handle this matter properly…"
"That's enough. This is not your fault," Ou Minghan said in a deep voice.
Feng Jie was startled. It was normal for Ou Minghan to become enraged and smash things, but why had he suddenly become so good-tempered? This was even more terrifying.
Feng Jie was extremely flustered and hurriedly lowered his head even further.
"I heard that some investors have contacted you privately recently?" Ou Minghan suddenly asked.
Feng Jie immediately replied, "President, someone did contact me, but I didn't meet them. I rejected them directly over the phone! You can check my call duration if you don't believe me…"
"You don't need to be nervous," Ou Minghan said in a deep voice. "You are capable, and it's understandable that they want to put you in my place. If you have such aspirations, I support you."
"No, no, no, President," Feng Jie felt his back grow damp. He quickly said, "If you are not at Qianbai, then there's no point for me to stay here! I've already decided, if they really force you out of the decision-making level, I'll apply to go to another province to be in charge of their business, and I won't return to the capital!"
Ou Minghan showed a look of satisfaction. He then asked, "Feng Jie, over the years you've been by my side, how do you think I've treated you?"
Feng Jie replied without hesitation, "President, you greatly value me and have given me many opportunities to learn and grow. My achievements today are all due to your cultivation!"
Ou Minghan became even more pleased. He nodded and said, "Alright, how can I not trust you? You don't need to apply to go to another province. I have a very important task to assign to you."
"President, please instruct me." Feng Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ou Minghan's expression turned cold. "I want you to leave Qianbai and go undercover at Taoxun!"
Feng Jie:…
Feng Jie:…
Feng Jie:…
What the heck?!
Feng Jie was truly stunned. He didn't even know if Ou Minghan was being sincere or if this was another test.
He collected himself and said with some confusion, "But President, everyone knows I'm your assistant. If I go to Taoxun so openly, won't it be like announcing 'undercover agent' on my forehead?"
