Chapter 237: Chapter 237: The Misunderstood Gu Yizhou? The Ice Queen CEO’s Thunderous Methods

"Oh, right."

"Brother Yizhou, at the morning meeting today, I heard some people from the other teams say that Leader Chen might be getting a promotion."

He Mingyi said suddenly.

"Oh?"

Gu Yizhou sounded a little surprised. "Is that so?"

"Yeah!"

He Mingyi nodded. "But I just heard it from the other teams, so I don’t know if it’s true or not."

"I see."

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou didn’t say much else.

The matter of his own team leader getting promoted didn’t really concern him.

After all, Gu Yizhou had only come here in the first place to live the quiet life of an ordinary person.

But now, it also served as a convenient way to get involved in investment matters and quickly trigger his system’s investment prompts.

That’s right.

This was the conclusion Gu Yizhou had reached over this period.

The "Investment Strengthens System" wasn’t just a name.

However, for the system to trigger, it had to be in a specific environment or scenario.

And Gu Yizhou had discovered that both times it had been triggered, it was related to an investment by Tidal Group.

As he was thinking about this, he heard He Mingyi continue, "Brother Yizhou, by the way, with your relationship with President Yan, once Leader Chen gets promoted, do you think you’ll become the leader of Team Three?"

The moment he finished speaking,

a voice sounded in their ears.

"It’s working hours. What are you two whispering about over here?"

Hearing the voice, both Gu Yizhou and He Mingyi turned their heads in unison.

Their leader, Chen Dong, appeared before them.

"Leader Chen."

Gu Yizhou said.

"Leader Chen."

He Mingyi, at his side, also spoke up hurriedly.

He was extremely embarrassed at that moment.

He had no idea if Chen Dong had overheard what they were just talking about.

Although he hadn’t said anything too specific, it would still be bad if he had been heard.

’After all, talking about someone behind their back and then getting caught in the act by that very person... it’s just too much to handle!’

Fortunately, Chen Dong didn’t seem to have heard their previous conversation.

He didn’t even glance at He Mingyi, instead turning to Gu Yizhou and saying, "Um... Yizhou, come with me to the office for a moment."

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou was taken aback for a second.

"What are you ’huh’-ing about, you brat?"

Chen Dong shot him an irritated glance. "Alright, I’m going to the restroom first. You go wait for me in the office!"

"Oh, okay."

Though still puzzled, Gu Yizhou came to his senses and nodded. "Okay, Leader Chen."

Chen Dong didn’t waste any more words and turned to head for the restroom after speaking.

After watching him walk away, an excited He Mingyi sidled up to Gu Yizhou. "Holy crap... Brother Yizhou, do you think Leader Chen called you to his office to talk about the team leader position? I think my prediction is coming true. You’re really going to be the new leader!"

Gu Yizhou: "..."

He shot the guy a speechless look.

’Damn it!’

’This guy really is obsessed with climbing the ladder!’

"Alright, stop spouting all this nonsense."

He shook his head, exasperated. "You’d better get back to work, or Leader Chen will come back and chew you out again!"

With that, he got up and headed toward the leader’s office.

He Mingyi watched Gu Yizhou’s back, his eyes glinting with a faint trace of excitement.

...

Meanwhile,

in the president’s office on the top floor.

Yan Luoxi was holding a thick file, looking through it.

Across from her, her young assistant, Bai Jie, stood respectfully, waiting for her orders.

’So this is the woman that damn man said had undeniable looks?’

Yan Luoxi furrowed her beautifully arched eyebrows, muttering under her breath.

By the looks of it, the documents in her hand were not work-related.

After flipping through a few more photos, Yan Luoxi looked up at her assistant and asked, "Assistant Bai, is this the complete file?"

"Yes, President Yan."

Bai Jie nodded respectfully. "This is Liu Sisi’s entire history, from childhood to the present day."

’To be honest, she still had no idea why her president suddenly wanted Liu Sisi’s complete file.’

’Although Liu Sisi was a popular celebrity, she currently had no connection whatsoever with Tidal Group.’

’And while popular celebrities might look glamorous and rich on the outside, compared to a financial magnate like Yan Luoxi, they were no different from ants.’

’Without a powerful sponsor, these so-called celebrities were nothing.’

’Could it be that the group has a project that needs a celebrity endorsement?’

’Or perhaps the group was planning to start investing in the entertainment industry?’

For a moment, a torrent of thoughts ran through Bai Jie’s mind.

’It couldn’t be helped!’

’As Yan Luoxi’s personal assistant, she had to think a few steps ahead!’

’Otherwise, if she failed to grasp the president’s orders clearly, the consequences of her actions would outweigh any benefits.’

"Right, the file says that Liu Sisi is currently in Hengdian filming a TV series, correct?"

Yan Luoxi suddenly asked.

"Yes, President Yan."

Bai Jie nodded. "I just confirmed this information."

"Good, I understand."

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi nodded. "You may leave."

"Of course, President Yan."

Seeing this, Bai Jie didn’t dare say more and respectfully excused herself.

...

After she had left,

Yan Luoxi picked up the photo of Liu Sisi from her desk again, frowning as she looked at it for a few moments, then picked up her phone, opened her contacts, and dialed a number.

RING... RING... RING—

The phone was answered almost immediately after just a few rings.

Yan Luoxi spoke in a calm tone, "Hello, this is Yan Luoxi."

"Ah?"

The person on the other end of the line was clearly surprised.

After recovering, they hurriedly and respectfully said, "President Yan, what are your instructions? Please, go ahead."

"I want you to arrange for some people to go to Hengdian and find a female celebrity named Liu Sisi."

Yan Luoxi said into the phone, her tone flat.

"Yes, President Yan."

The person on the other end nodded. "Find her, and then what?"

"And then beat her up."

Yan Luoxi said coldly.

"Huh?"

The person on the other end was clearly stunned for a moment.

"Why?"

She blurted out subconsciously.

"I don’t like her."

Yan Luoxi said lightly.

"..."

The person on the other end was, for a moment, completely flabbergasted.

However, she didn’t dare ask any more questions and hurriedly said, "Alright, President Yan, I’ll arrange it immediately."

"No."

Yan Luoxi spoke again. "You do it yourself. And record a video to send me."

After saying that, Yan Luoxi hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up, Yan Luoxi gazed out the massive floor-to-ceiling window, her thoughts unreadable.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the desktop.

After a long moment,

she picked up her phone again and dialed another number.

RING—

The call was answered instantly.

"Hello~"

A resonant voice, full of vigor, came from the other end of the line.
