Chapter 267: Financial Support?

Oh, I see that, but it seems what they need now is quite frequent, right?

That's right, I just made a trip the day before yesterday, and now today they've made me run another errand—this back-and-forth is wearing me out, my waist can't take it anymore. All right, little girl, hurry back; if you can find a better way out, that's best—otherwise, don't stay here.

After saying that, the uncle got on his tricycle, then turned the ignition and headed straight off into the distance.

Liu Peipei pondered here for a long time, wondering what this meant.

Now, looking at all the operations of his company, everything seems fairly normal.

But why do these purchased goods feel so strange? What exactly are they plotting?

Liu Peipei kept thinking about these things in her mind, then she pulled the handcart straight into the company lobby.

"Sister Zhang, where should I put this cartload of stuff?"

"Oh, do you see that spot by the wall? Just push it there."

Liu Peipei pulled the cart and walked straight over, but she was actually cursing in her heart.

How could a girl move something this heavy? And with all those big shots at the company, it seems no one is willing to lend a hand.

She complained while doing it, but she still had to finish the work.

Panting, Liu Peipei finally moved two boxes down, but when it came to the third box, she felt her waist was about to break.

Just then, he saw a man walk over, gracefully bend down, and help Liu Peipei place the boxes one by one in that spot.

He glanced up; the man appeared to be in his early twenties, and with his clear eyebrows and handsome eyes, he had a fine appearance.

"Hehe, thank you so much."

"It's nothing; how could I let you do such heavy labor?"

"Our divisions of work are different, and you see everyone else is busy, while I seem to only do these tasks—perhaps we just have different duties."

"No, I don't think I've seen you before."

"Not having seen me is right, because today is my first day at work at the company."

"Oh, today is the first day."

"Right, so if there's anything you don't understand, I hope you can help me out more."

"Hehe, sure, sure."

That guy was rather casual, after all, any man is off guard in front of a beautiful woman.

Moreover, at that moment they suddenly heard laughter from over there, and then those people looked over.

He immediately saw that the person sitting in the front was Zong Long.

In fact, before coming to the company, he had already grasped Zong Long's information quite clearly.

Behind him followed two beautiful women; it seemed they were already very familiar with each other.

After they laughed and walked past, he raised his head to look at that man.

"Um, is that person our company's boss?"

"You can do that—knowing who the boss is on the first day suggests you must have done your homework beforehand."

"Hehe, that's not it—I just saw him earlier and heard others tell me about him. Right, who are those two women?"

"I don't know; they seem like clients, and it's said these two women are now very wealthy, so they should be here to provide financial support."

"What did you say? Financial support? But our company doesn't seem to need any funds, does it?"

"That's a matter for their higher-ups; how would we know? Anyway, it's mysterious, but if we could find those two women, I'd estimate an eighty to ninety percent chance it's related to funds."

"Oh, I see, okay, I understand now."

After hearing that, Liu Peipei merely nodded and silently committed all that information to memory.

He didn't go home directly until evening, then he arranged to meet Xiao Ming at a place, and the two met there.

Liu Peipei recounted to him in detail everything that had happened at the company today, including her suspicions.

Upon hearing it, Xiao Ming merely furrowed his brow slightly.

He has now put this matter on the agenda and is also preparing to cooperate with Zong Long.

This afternoon they also signed a letter of intent, though it's only a draft contract and hasn't been finalized yet.

"Are you saying his office supplies purchase is the basis for suspicion? But I feel that doesn't really prove anything."

"General Manager Xiao, I find it strange, and even other companies would need to analyze why such a large listed company would make such purchases—I think this is abnormal."

"If that's abnormal, then what could it mean that the two women you mentioned appear together with Zong Long?"

"I don't know; I wanted to investigate further, but those people are very vigilant, and I simply can't find out what's going on."

After saying that, he merely furrowed his brow.

"Being able to dig up this much is already not bad; it shows the company likely has some problems—could Zong Long be deliberately hiding something?"

"I really can't say for sure; I only have this information, so I rushed over to tell you."

"All right, I understand. Peipei, what is your position over there with him?"

Upon hearing that, even Liu Peipei herself felt embarrassed.

She is clearly a top graduate of the Finance Academy, yet she never imagined she would fall to this state.

But there's nothing to be done; this is all her own choice, and she can't blame others.

"What else can I do? I'm just an office assistant, helping people run errands, photocopying documents, making tea and water, sweeping the floor—basically, all the odd jobs fall to me."

When she said that, Xiao Ming merely stared for a moment; he hadn't imagined that his responsibility there would be such a thing.

"You're saying you're doing odd jobs over there?"

"General Manager Xiao, what do you think? Do you really think that with my status I could become a president or something just by going over there? I tell you, don't even dream about it."
