Career Challenge: What does it mean when you wear a hood?

"no problem."

Zhao Ming nodded.

As he opened his mouth to respond, he unceremoniously picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

When Mr. Zhao saw this, he also picked up the tea cup in front of him with a smile and took a sip.

His eyebrows were slightly raised, and his face was full of enjoyment.

moment.

Mr. Zhao smacked his mouth.

He seemed to put down the teacup in his hand with some unfinished thoughts.

He looked at Zhao Ming again and spoke with a smile again.

"I wonder when Brother Lu Meng can contact Boss Lu to discuss our cooperation?"

"I have indeed prepared some conditions here."

"But we still have to see first what benefits Boss Lu wants to get."

"Am I right?"

The few words he said seemed very casual, but the smile on his face was full of seriousness.

It is clear.

Mr. Zhao is still very concerned about this matter.

I wish Zhao Ming would contact Boss Lu quickly to finalize the matter.

after all.

The remnants of Zheng Jianghe's faction are now a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

Naturally, I wish I could deal with them earlier.

"In half a month!"

Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows and responded directly without thinking too much.

Hear the words.

Mr. Zhao's hand was visibly stiff in the action of pouring tea.

He couldn't help but frown slightly, and the expression on his face was obviously a bit ugly.

It was obvious that he was not satisfied with Zhao Ming's answer.

But it only took a few seconds for the expression on Mr. Zhao's face to return to normal.

He raised his eyebrows and continued to pour tea into the teacup in front of him.

After the tea cup in front of him was filled.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ming directly pushed the tea cup in front of him to Mr. Zhao.

The action appears extremely obvious.

The meaning is obvious.

This was a signal to Mr. Zhao to fill up his teacup as well.

Seeing this, Zhang Tao, who had been standing next to the table, couldn't help but be stunned, with a look of shock on his face.

after all.

Zhao Ming took the initiative to make such a move, which was obviously his intention to manipulate Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao, who is that?

Not only can he talk to Boss Lu on an equal footing with the boss behind 'Lu Meng' in front of him, but he can even be said to barely outdo Boss Lu.

How dare ‘Lu Meng’ do such a thing to Mr. Zhao?

not to mention.

Zhang Tao knows clearly that although Mr. Zhao cannot be said to be a petty person, he is not a generous person either.

'Lu Meng's' behavior would most likely make him feel quite unhappy.

as expected.

Just as Zhang Tao expected, the expression on Mr. Zhao's face changed slightly, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly unnoticeably.

Although the smile quickly returned to his face.

But it was obvious that he still had some grudges against Zhao Ming's actions.

only.

Mr. Zhao still acted like nothing was wrong, holding the teapot and pouring tea into Zhao Ming's cup.

"Brother Lu Meng, half a month is too long."

"After all, you have to know that if Zheng Jianghe's remnants in this group are not cleaned up, I will really not be able to sleep!"

"Do you think you can contact Boss Lu as soon as possible to finalize the cooperation?"

When tea is poured.

Although Mr. Zhao's eyes were fixed on the teacup on the table, he did not look at Zhao Ming, who was sitting opposite him.

But at the same time, he spoke seriously to Zhao Mingyu.

While speaking, his face was full of sadness.

He seemed impatient to reach a cooperation with Mr. Lu.

“Now the country’s grip is really too tight.”

"In order to prevent exposure, Boss Lu can only reduce his contact with us."

"So he specifically told me that I could only contact him once every half a month."

"There's nothing I can do about it."

Zhao Ming took a deep breath, frowned slightly, and had the same troubled expression on his face.

In prison, from the phone call between Zheng Jianghe and Boss Lu.

Zhao Ming naturally also heard that Boss Lu, who was hiding in the country, was an extremely cautious person.

Therefore, although what I said is nonsense.

But it shouldn't reveal any flaws and arouse Mr. Zhao's suspicion.

Hear this.

Mr. Zhao also nodded.

He looked like he could understand Zhao Ming's difficulties.

It seemed that there was no doubt about Zhao Ming's words.

"I also need some time to appease these remnants of Zheng Jianghe. After all, they can't detect anything wrong."

"Only when we take action when they are unprepared can we achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

"But half a month is too long."

"In this way... I will give you a week at most."

"And a week later, what I want to hear is not that you have contacted Boss Lu, but that Boss Lu has agreed to cooperate with me!"

"Or maybe he already has an intention to cooperate and agrees to discuss the details with me."

"Is this no problem?"

After being silent for a few seconds, Mr. Zhao looked at Mr. Zhao and spoke very seriously.

Hear this.

Zhao Ming frowned slightly and pondered for two seconds before speaking.

"I try my best."

After hearing Zhao Ming's answer, a look of displeasure appeared on Mr. Zhao's face across from him.

The eyebrows also frowned slightly for an instant.

But he leaned back on the chair and looked at Zhao Ming sitting opposite him with half-lidded eyes.

It took a full ten seconds before he spoke.

"Since Brother Lu Meng is willing to work hard, I will take it as your agreement."

"Let's put villains first, then gentlemen, and the ugly words come first."

"If I don't get the answer I want after a week, brother, you will have no chance to return to the country."

"So I hope you will actually work hard, brother, instead of just talking about it."

Mr. Zhao had a stern look on his face as he paid the bill, and his words were full of threats.

Obviously, he was really angry at Zhao Ming's attitude.

However, Zhao Ming did not respond to Mr. Zhao's threat. He still looked calm and unconcerned.

This naturally made Mr. Zhao even more angry.

But because the Zhao Ming in front of him actually had some use value, he had no intention of having an attack.

He just gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"For the rest of the week, brother Lu Meng, just take a good rest in the park."

"Zhang Tao!"

Mr. Zhao said with a smile.

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhang Tao, who had been standing quietly aside, and called him.

When Zhang Tao heard Mr. Zhao calling him, he felt a little frightened for a moment, and quickly responded with a smile on his face, a nod and a bow.

"Mr. Zhao, what are your orders?"

While speaking, Zhang Tao took a step forward slightly.

That flattering look.

But it also made Mr. Zhao, who was a little angry after just facing Zhao Ming's attitude, feel a lot better instantly.

"Brother Lu Meng's schedule will be arranged by you these days."

"But we must take good care of brother Lu Meng!"

Mr. Zhao spoke in a serious tone, and when he said the last half of the sentence, he deliberately emphasized his tone.

Obviously it means something.

"Mr. Zhao, don't worry when I do things."

"I will definitely arrange all Brother Meng's schedule."

Hearing this, Zhang Tao nodded quickly, patted his chest and assured Mr. Zhao, Zhao Zhongtian.

It was as if he understood the meaning of Zhao Zhongtian's words.

After hearing Zhang Tao's answer, Zhao Zhongtian nodded with satisfaction.

Obviously, he is still extremely satisfied with Zhang Tao.

"Brother Lu Meng, in the next week, if you have any needs, you can ask Zhang Tao."

"Zhang Tao has been following me since he joined the group, and his ability to do things is still very good."

"So I believe he will be able to satisfy you."

Zhao Zhongtian looked back at Zhao Ming, and his tone regained his kindness.

"Then I'll have to worry about Manager Zhang for the rest of the time."

"Mr. Zhao, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"I guess you have a lot of things to do every day, so I won't waste your precious time anymore."

Zhao Ming nodded and responded with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he stood up directly, looking like he didn't want to stay any longer.

At this time, Zhao Ming really didn't want to stay any longer.

after all.

The longer you spend with Zhao Zhongtian, the greater your risk of exposure.

This is the current situation in the office.

Zhao Ming knew that once he was exposed, he would really have to answer here.

"If that's the case, then I won't keep you."

"Zhang Tao, take brother Lu Meng back."

Zhao Zhongtian had no intention of holding back at all, and looked at Zhao Ming with a smile.

He directly ordered Zhang Tao to take Zhao Ming away.

"yes!"

Zhang Tao hurriedly responded to Zhao Zhongtian, then looked at Zhao Ming and made a gesture of invitation.

Zhao Ming walked out of the office with Zhang Tao without any courtesy.

And as soon as I walked out of the office door.

Zhang Tao took out an eyepatch from his pocket with a smile and handed it to Zhao Ming.

"Brother Meng, I'm sorry, but you still have to abide by the rules."

At this time, Zhang Tao had put away his previous flattery to Zhao Zhongtian, but his tone was still kind.

Hear this.

Zhao Ming just nodded and didn't say anything more. He took the blindfold from his hand and put it on.

Then, with Zhang Tao's support, he walked towards the elevator entrance on this floor.

Prepare to go downstairs and take the bus back to the previous park.

…

Inside the office.

After Zhao Ming and Zhang Tao left.

Zhao Zhongtian's expression instantly darkened. He stared at the door of the office with a gloomy expression and said nothing.

The tall and muscular bodyguard who had been standing beside him frowned slightly when he saw this.

He and Zhao Zhongtian have also been together for some years.

Naturally, I knew that Zhao Zhongtian's face was so gloomy at this time, naturally because of the attitude of 'Lu Meng' towards him.

after all.

No matter what, Zhao Zhongtian should be able to have an equal dialogue with Boss Lu.

But who would have thought that one of Boss Lu's men would behave so arrogantly in front of him.

This naturally made Zhao Zhongtian feel quite unhappy.

"Boss, this kid is really arrogant. Do you want me to give him a warning to make him be more honest?"

The tall bodyguard bent slightly, leaned close to Zhao Zhongtian's ear and whispered.

Hear the words.

Zhao Zhongtian snorted slightly, then shook his head.

"It is more important for us to reach cooperation with Boss Lu at the moment."

"And this Lu Meng is the most important link in whether we can achieve cooperation."

"So he still has value, and it would not be good for us to have all this unpleasantness now."

"It's not time to touch him yet, just be patient for a while!"

"If he can facilitate this cooperation, then everyone will be happy. No matter how arrogant he is, I can tolerate it."

"If cooperation cannot be reached, then I will let him taste life worse than death."

Zhao Zhongtian spoke with a sinister expression.

As he spoke, a somewhat scary smile appeared on his face, and under his elegant attire, he looked even more sinister.

"yes!"

When the tall bodyguard heard this, he nodded and responded.

Then he stood up straight behind Zhao Zhongtian and remained silent again.

Zhao Zhongtian raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch.

Then he took a deep breath and stood up.

"Okay, it's almost time for the board meeting."

"Now it's time to take Chen Yong's body and give everyone an explanation!"

Zhao Zhongtian murmured calmly.

As he spoke, he walked towards the door of the office.

When the bodyguard saw this, he hurriedly followed behind him, as if he would never leave.

…

After a while.

In a huge conference room on the top floor of this building.

At this time, there were already many people sitting in the conference room, all of whom had dark expressions and frowned eyebrows.

From time to time, some people looked down at the time on their watches.

It was obvious that everyone was getting impatient with waiting.

"What does Zhao Zhongtian mean?"

"The board of directors was initiated by him, and he said he would give us an explanation for Zheng Jianghe's death at nine o'clock."

"It's almost half past nine, and Zhao Zhongtian hasn't shown up yet."

"Are you trying to make fun of us as directors?"

After waiting for a while, a gray-haired old man over seventy years old spoke in a deep voice.

The words were full of dissatisfaction with Zhao Zhongtian.

As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone else could speak, the door to the conference room was pushed open with a creak.

Everyone hurriedly turned back and looked towards the door.

After the gorgeous door was pushed open, Zhao Zhongtian's figure appeared behind the door.

At this time, he was smiling and looking at everyone in the conference room.

See this.

Everyone raised their eyebrows, put away the impatience on their faces, and stared at Zhao Zhongtian at the door with a calm expression.

Facing so many eyes looking at him, Zhao Zhongtian remained extremely calm.

I saw him slowly walking into the conference room with a smile on his face.

His eyes were always looking at the old man who just spoke.

Facing Zhao Zhongtian's gaze, the old man looked a little unnatural for a moment.

He took a deep breath, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but move his body.

at this time.

Zhao Zhongtian had already walked to the old man's side.

While his eyes were locked with the old man's, the smile on his face gradually faded.

The old man's heart skipped a beat.

Zhao Zhongtian walked directly behind the old man's chair, put his hands on the old man's shoulders, and scanned the other people in the conference room.

"Mr. Wu is already very old, and he does not have much time left."

"I'm really sorry for wasting another half hour of his time because of my mistake."

"But the rest of them are young and strong, so I guess they can afford to wait for half an hour, right?"

Zhao Zhongtian's face darkened and he spoke in a slightly unkind tone.

The threat in the words is full of meaning.

Everyone present felt a thump in their hearts after hearing his words.

The eyes looking at Zhao Zhongtian also became solemn.
