“Hmm.” Si Fan said in a low voice, “If you want to gain her trust, you have to do something that she thinks I spy would never do. That’ll work. Hmph, looks like I’ve underestimated her. 1 thought she wouldn’t be this cautious. It turns out that she still has some brains.”
“Then what should we do?” Cheng She hurriedly asked.
Si Fan sneered and said, “Just as 1 expected. You’re my assistant and have been with me for so long. It’s normal for Yin Xun to suspect you. If she didn’t, I’d be worried that she has something up her sleeve. How about this? Tell her that Dong Zi is an undercover agent and say that you overheard this news. If she doesn’t believe me, make her search Dong Zi’s pockets. 1 placed a note in Dong Zi’s bag.”
Cheng She said, “Are we going to sell out Dong Zi just like that?”
Having been by Si Fan’s side for so long, he used to think that Si Fan was quite cruel. Now, it seemed that Si Fan had no conscience at all.
Back then, Si Fan had made an agreement with Dong Zi for him to become an undercover agent and Si Fan would give him a sum of money in return. In the end, the money he got was only a deposit. He had tricked Dong Zi into doing his bidding and had no intention of paying the rest.
If Cheng She identified Dong Zi now, Dong Zi would definitely be chased out by Yin Xun. At that time, Si Fan would refuse to pay the rest of the money on the pretext that Dong Zi had failed his mission.
However, this money should have been Dong Zi’s. It was the overtime pay he deserved. Si Fan’s actions were really disappointing. Perhaps one day, he would also be abandoned by Si Fan just like that.
With this thought in mind, Cheng She wanted to escape Si Fan’s clutches even more.
“President Si, Yin Xun is currently suspicious of me, but Dong Zi hasn’t been discovered. Why don’t you let Dong Zi continue to be a spy and let me take the fall?” Cheng She could not understand the logic, so he asked directly.
Si Fan sneered and said, “You’re more valuable than Dong Zi. 1 arranged for him to cover for you. The reason we took him so seriously at the beginning was to make him really believe in his status. In the end, he’s just a programmer who can only come into contact with that aspect of business. But you’re different. You’re a senior assistant, so you can definitely come into contact with various departments of the company and do better work for me. Besides, when you tell Yin Xun that I chased you out of the company because you took the blame, she’ll definitely treat you like how she treated Mi Jin.”
‘Thank you for thinking so highly of me’, Cheng She thought to himself. What did this mean?
Of course, he knew what Si Fan was thinking. Si Fan felt that the two of them had already fallen out on the surface. Cheng She was Si Fan’s former assistant; he knew a lot about Blue Fox and was very capable. He would definitely be able to become Yin Xun’s confidant like Mi Jin.
However, Si Fan had overlooked something. His situation was completely different from Mi Jin’s. His motive was too obvious.
However, Cheng She remembered Yin Xun saying that as long as he could reveal Dong Zi, she would let him stay in Xintao. She would not go back on her word, right?
Anyway, he had already reported to Si Fan and these were Si Fan’s instructions now. This way, Cheng She could avoid offending either side. He might even be in a better spot in the future.
He sighed again, feeling the sorrow of being an insignificant being. In front of these black-hearted bosses, someone like him really did not have any freedom at all.
“By the way, if you call me now, Yin Xun might find out and get suspicious. In the future, don’t call me during the day if you have nothing else to do. Call me when you get home,” Si Fan reminded him.
Cheng She said, “Okay, you don’t have to worry. There’s no one here or outside. Yin Xun is busy with other things and doesn’t have time to check on me.”
Si Fan heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s more like it. Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. Remember, no matter what method you use, you must stay at Xintao. Think of a way to help me monitor Yin Xun’s every move.”
“Yes!” Cheng She said. After the call ended, he finally released his pent-up temper. He cursed silently into the phone, then composed himself and went back to find Yin Xun.
“How is it?” Yin Xun looked at him with a smile.
This time, Cheng She did not hesitate. Instead, he directly told her about Dong Zi.
After he finished speaking, Cheng She looked at Yin Xun concernedly. “President Yin, 1 know that it is not appropriate for me to say this with my status, but I still want to ask you for something. Can you not spread the news about Dong ZI? Otherwise, Dong ZI will not be able to find a job in the future.”
Looking at Cheng She, Yin Xun suddenly tilted her head slightly and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
“Oh right, can you handle a project on your own?” Yin Xun asked.
Cheng She did not have much confidence. He thought for a few seconds before nodding. “I’ve done it at Blue Fox before. It should be possible…”
“Then do you want to discuss business?” Yin Xun continued to ask.
“Maybe. I’ve done things by myself at Blue Fox before,” Cheng Shen answered truthfully..
