581: Chapter 96 You jump, I jump!_5 581: Chapter 96 You jump, I jump!_5 Wang Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have made it as far as she had if she believed even a word of the nonsense Dong Zecheng spouted.

She glanced at Zhong Yajun, who was under great pressure, and asked Dong Zecheng with a smile.

“Hahaha, that’s too kind of you, CEO Cheng.

I remember during our previous conversation, Manager Zhong told me he would be here today too?”

Yang Yuan and Dong Zecheng exchanged glances, while Xiao Cao spoke up with a smile.

“Ms.

Wang, good to see you.

I’m CEO Cheng’s secretary.

He had to fly back to Saint Rodu early this morning to manage a big project at the MCN company MAS in America, as requested by the shareholders.”

A lie, and one that many people were aware of.

Dong Zecheng gave an anxious forced laugh, while Yang Yuan had a neutral expression as he took notes on something.

Ah Zhao was intently observing the people from ‘Home Goodies’ with deep eyes.

Dong Zecheng was recruited by Cheng Daqi; he was the type to obediently do the grunt work.

Monitored closely by Yang Yuan and Xiao Cao, he had to act out his part obediently—or be fired immediately.

Yang Yuan was from the Dongxin camp.

His decades-long career with Dongxin taught him what he had to do—Dongxin wasn’t a heartless company.

He wasn’t a cold-blooded animal.

Some things were wrong, but he had to do them nonetheless.

Xiao Cao was one of the lucky ones favored by CEO Cheng.

Everyone believed her success was due to CEO Cheng’s partiality—she saw her only value as loyalty.

Without the ability to discern the purpose behind CEO Cheng’s manipulative tactics, every core member of the Shanhaiguan team chose to trust CEO Cheng once more.

Business is like a battlefield; soldiers like generals who win battles!

“Oh?

I’ve only heard about MAS.

What kind of project do they have over there?”

Wang Xiaoxiao, unaware of any issue, asked with a smile.

“MAS recently raised two hundred million.

They’ve invested thirty-five million in a Christmas project, which is five million Dollars, you know.

The shareholders are attaching great importance to it, and with Christmas coming up soon, he went to oversee it beforehand.”

Zhao Hongjin was the one who answered Wang Xiaoxiao, the brave girl ready to charge.

Cheng Daqi wanted to achieve big things with a bad reputation, Zhao Hongjin planned to infiltrate with a bad reputation and then backstab to eliminate the ‘Home Goodies’ menace!

Wang Xiaoxiao was aware of MAS’s estimated valuation of one point two billion Dollars and felt a bit envious of CEO Cheng.

‘Home Goodies’ didn’t have as many investors interested; their valuation was also just over six hundred million in their last round of funding.

“So, you’re Ah Zhao.

I didn’t expect you to be even more beautiful than in the videos.

People like us can only pass muster after using beauty filters, whereas you’re naturally beautiful—to the point that turning on the beauty filter makes you less attractive than you actually are.

I’d like to invite you to be the Brand Ambassador for ‘Home Goodies.’ Manager Zhong has already spoken to you about it.

Would you be interested in being our Brand Ambassador?”

Wang Xiaoxiao spoke with the affability of a friendly neighborhood elder sister, which made her quite approachable.

Zhao Hongjin pretended to be thrilled and excitedly answered.

“Ms.

Wang, thank you for recognizing me!

Of course, I’d be delighted to accept, thank you for this opportunity!”

Dong Zecheng knew it was his turn to speak, for he was, nominally, the one in charge on-site—though the real authority was CEO Cheng, who was often absent from the company but never lost his grip on Shanhaiguan.

“Ah Zhao is one of our top internet influencers at Shanhaiguan, with a combined follower count of over four million across seven different platforms.

Ms.

Wang, we might need to discuss raising the price a bit.”

“I’ve come with sincerity.

Please, go ahead.”

Dong Zecheng recalled the instructions from Cheng Daqi and suggested a price that wasn’t too high.

“Six million, do you think that’s appropriate?”

The price was actually quite low, only because internet influencers weren’t regarded as highly as celebrities, making the amount seem minimal.

Wang Xiaoxiao considered it briefly before replying with a smile.

“Good, let’s sign the contract then.

I hope the cooperation between ‘Home Goodies’ and Shanhaiguan will be mutually beneficial!”

“Ms.

Wang is so generous, Shanhaiguan will certainly not disappoint you!”

Dong Zecheng’s response was very professional.

Only Zhao Hongjin knew the big surprise Shanhaiguan had prepared for this fraudulent platform!
