Chapter 156: Episode 156: The Deputy General Manager Admits Himself to the Hospital

Wei Jingzhu confirmed the IP address shown on QQ, the person was definitely someone from inside the company, most likely Zhang Lei himself.

But to confront him rashly, the other party would certainly not admit anything.

He thought of a roundabout way, asking Brother Ji to contact Zhang Lei, saying he wanted to buy his graphics card, hoping to extract the other party’s information.

[Brother Ji, it’s urgent, help contact this person!] Wei Jingzhu sent the post directly from QQ to Brother Ji, [The graphics card this person holds might be the one lost by Yinyin Company, help extract his real identity! Thanks!]

[Okay! Leave it to me!] Probably because there were no customers at the counter, Brother Ji replied quickly.

Wei Jingzhu turned to look at Zhang Lei’s workstation, where he was triumphantly looking at his computer screen, God knows what he was so pleased about.

Smiling now, wait till you’re crying later!

After the group meeting ended, Zhou Xueyin returned to the 20th floor and gathered everyone in the meeting room.

Everyone was holding notepads, except for Liu Feifei who seriously carried her MacBook and also a Starbucks coffee.

"Feifei, it’s not really good for pregnant women to drink coffee, is it?" Li Jiniang kindly reminded her.

"..." However, Liu Feifei just gave her a cold look and said nothing, making it feel like Li Jiniang was poking her nose where it didn’t belong.

"Don’t mind her, she’s just putting on airs..." Yao Shanshan came over and whispered.

Li Jiniang pursed her lips and nodded in agreement.

As everyone gradually took their seats in the meeting room, Zhou Xueyin started to speak, "The disaster relief charity sale went very smoothly! Everyone has worked hard!"

Having said that, she led the applause.

"Next, we move on to some plans for the second half of the year. For business expansion, I’m considering partnering with some large e-commerce platforms for advertising, mainly focusing on the hot products for the next quarter..."

"Click clack click clack..." Zhou Xueyin had just begun speaking when she was interrupted by the annoying sound of a ballpoint pen being clicked.

"Feifei, do you have any suggestions?" Zhou Xueyin asked impatiently.

"Not really? Why do you suddenly ask me if I want to speak? Go on with what you were saying." Liu Feifei looked at Zhou Xueyin innocently, completely unaware that it was the sound of her clicking the ballpoint pen that had interrupted.

"If you have no comments, stop making noise with the pen, or why don’t you talk about your plans for the second half of the year?" Zhou Xueyin threw the topic right back at her.

"Ah? The second half of the year? I’m going to have a baby then, what other plans could I possibly have?" Liu Feifei was blunt, saying exactly what was on her mind.

Anyway, no one expected such a person to stay here and create any performance for 51buy, just hoping she wouldn’t drag everyone else down...

"Since you have no plans, just listen carefully, stop grabbing the spotlight. OK?" Zhou Xueyin directly took away the ballpoint pen that was in front of her, saving herself from further interruptions.

The meeting continued, Li Jiniang was preparing to secure the clothing advertisement of the luxury brand Babylon for the second half of the year, already halfway through the process, but it was delayed by the earthquake.

Zhang Jingwan had already talked with several domestic custom clothing manufacturers, just shy of finalizing the contracts.

Yao Shanshan was preparing the iteration of the forum’s style, introducing some new color schemes and coordinating with advertisements for theme alternations...

Everyone had different plans for the second half of the year...

"Huff... huff..." A discordant snoring sound interrupted everyone’s statement.

Liu Feifei, out of sheer boredom, had fallen deep asleep again.

"Liu Feifei! We’re in a meeting!" Zhou Xueyin intentionally yelled her name loudly, startling her awake.

"What are you doing, you scared me to death... Look how you scared me, my heart is pounding..." Liu Feifei gasped for air, continuously patting her chest, "You scared me to death, it’s awful..."

"I’ve said it before, if you want to sleep, go home! This is a company, not your house! Others are in a meeting, and you’re sleeping; do you have any respect for others?" Zhou Xueyin chastised her without any mercy.

"Do you have something against me? Why are you always picking on me? When I slept in my previous department, President Chen didn’t care about me; who do you think you are?" Liu Feifei also confronted Zhou Xueyin without showing any weakness.

"I may not be anyone special, but you’re now at 51buy! You need to listen to me, your general manager!" Zhou Xueyin said fervently, "President Chen transferred you here as a throwaway! Giving you a redundant position was to keep you away from the core areas! Don’t disgrace the group! Alright, let’s continue with the meeting!"

"Zhou Xueyin, you say I’m a disgrace? Make yourself clear! If you can’t explain yourself, don’t continue this meeting!" Liu Feifei stood up angrily and accidentally hit her stomach against the table, "Ouch... it hurts so bad... I can’t take it, is it going to be a premature birth..."

This sudden bump terrified everyone in the meeting room.

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts so bad... Zhou Xueyin, I’m telling you, if anything happens to me! I will make you pay! Ouch, it hurts so bad..." Liu Feifei lay on the ground, clutching her stomach, still cursing and sparing no mercy for Zhou Xueyin.

"Call 120, send her to the hospital!" Zhou Xueyin was surprisingly calm as she took out her phone and dialed 120.

Soon, an ambulance took Liu Feifei away, attracting quite a crowd of onlookers.

People whispered among themselves, some wearing smiles on their faces; it seemed Liu Feifei had offended quite a few, and everyone looked at Zhou Xueyin with approving eyes.

Zhou Xueyin, puzzled, looked around at everyone: "Alright, disperse... She’s been taken away, there’s nothing left to see..."

"Serves her right! It’s surely her own doing! Don’t take it to heart; people like her deserve to be dealt with!" A somewhat familiar person came up and spoke to Zhou Xueyin.

"And you are?"

"The group’s HR manager, Yu Qingyun." The person smiled, "Ever since you joined the group, you’ve been busy, and I haven’t been able to conduct training at your place. Next month, if you are free, I’ll come and teach a class on etiquette, how about that?"

"Sure! Thanks, Sister Yun!" Although Zhou Xueyin felt these courses were optional, they were still a part of the group culture, and she couldn’t refuse.

Because of this collision, Liu Feifei went into threatened premature labor and had to be hospitalized for observation, eventually taking long-term medical leave.

Zhou Xueyin was too happy upon hearing this news; the noisy troublemaker was finally gone! She could now work in peace!

[Yinyin! I’ve caught Zhang Lei stealing, and I’ve already anonymously reported it to our boss, Liu Ruidong, just waiting for his action!] Wei Jingzhu also sent some joyful news.

[How did you manage that? I checked the security footage and couldn’t clearly capture him stealing...] Zhou Xueyin couldn’t believe it, that Wei Jingzhu had found evidence in just a few days.

[He admitted it himself... Here’s the chat log!] Wei Jingzhu sent over the chat log of Zhang Lei planning the deal with Brother Ji.
