Chapter 290: Do you know what a repeater is?

~5 min read 977 words

Okay, then I understand. I'll wait for your call later; you go ahead and get busy.

After saying that, Xiao Yunzhe hung up the phone.

Zong Mengni held her phone, standing here dazed for a long time—this man, repeatedly arranging meetings with her, what exactly is he planning?

To be honest, she didn't dislike Xiao Yunzhe much; instead, she found him rather endearing.

Dang dang dang.

Just then, Zong Mengni heard a knocking sound from outside, and she looked up.

Come in, please.

Soon, Zong Mengni's work state was restored again.

Once again, the image of a strong woman appeared on her face.

The person who entered was Liu Peipei.

When she saw this woman, she merely frowned slightly.

These past couple of days, busy as she was, Zong Mengni actually overlooked this person.

Isn't this exactly the spy the Xiao Family sent over? She hadn't expected him to come to her office on his own initiative, and Zong Mengni felt that the matter was becoming more and more interesting.

Who are you?

Zong Mengni pretended not to know her, then asked curiously.

Oh, Miss Zong, I'm the newcomer; my name is Liu Peipei.

Oh, a newcomer? Why did you come to my place? Is there something you need?

Just now the office said there are some documents over there that you need to come and sign right away, then we'll send them over; it sounds rather urgent.

Oh, why is there no one else in the office? Why send a newcomer over?

As she spoke, Zong Mengni reached out and placed the document in front of herself.

I guess they're probably busy with their own affairs; besides, these errands don't require much skill, so if I do them, there should be no problem.

Zong Mengni said nothing, then lowered her head to look at the document before her.

Actually, these are just routine reports; frankly, even if he closed his eyes, there'd be no need to examine them.

But in front of Liu Peipei, seeing Zong Mengni's serious demeanor, she continued to act the part.

Hey, what were you doing before you came here?

Oh, I used to work at a small company, but after a few years I felt my compensation hadn't improved in any aspect, so I transferred to this company.

Oh, I see; then I guess you've come to the wrong place.

What do you mean? Miss Zong, what does this mean?

Liu Peipei suddenly said nervously to Zong Mengni.

Moreover, in her memory, this was her first interaction with Zong Mengni, and under normal circumstances she wouldn't have said such things to herself.

It's nothing; I was just giving you a friendly reminder.

A friendly reminder? Miss Zong, it seems someone had already given me a friendly reminder before.

Oh? Who reminded you?

This...

As she spoke, Liu Peipei slowly lowered her head, feeling that Liu Peipei also had hidden meanings in her words.

You, if you truly have ability and knowledge, then hurry and jump to a new company, because Xing Ya Company will soon cease to exist.

What? It will soon cease to exist?

Yes, it will soon cease to exist; moreover, you can't figure out what's going on here, so in any case it won't last long—hurry, find another place and then jump ship.

Miss Zong, that seems unlikely; moreover, as I understand it, our company has a listed subsidiary, and several of its divisions are quite hot, so there shouldn't be any problem at all.

You don't understand; what you see are only surface phenomena, and frankly those things could disappear overnight, do you get it?

I do understand that, and many people have said the stock market is ever-changing; actually, I can comprehend what you're saying.

Exactly, so if there's no problem, it's still best to leave; this place isn't suitable for you to stay.

Oh, I see.

Liu Peipei felt it was strange.

Why would Zong Mengni, out of the blue, say these things to me?

Between them, they were essentially strangers, and even before, they had no contact whatsoever.

But now Zong Mengni is saying these things to her—could it be that she deliberately said them for her to hear?

Alright, you can take this to him.

Okay, I understand; Miss Zong, if you have nothing else here, I'll head out first.

Hey, wait a moment.

Miss Zong, is there anything else?

I want to ask, when you were in school, did you ever use a machine called a repeater?

A repeater? Oh, I remember now—yes, I used one before, but nowadays it's probably obsolete.

Oh, it's not used anymore, but sometimes a repeater is still important.

After hearing that sentence, Liu Peipei suddenly froze.

What does this mean? Is Zong Mengni hinting at something to her? Or is she reminding herself what she wants to say?

Oh, Miss Zong, I understand; thank you, I'll remember the repeater.

After saying that, she hurriedly got up and left.

It's obvious that Zong Mengni has now made her meaning quite clear.

She simply hopes that she will repeat these words again, but as for whom she repeats them to, anyone would probably understand.

After Liu Peipei realized these things, she knew that the situation had become increasingly serious.

Liu Peipei knew that if she stayed here any longer, she would basically be unable to uncover any information.

Because she had already learned from Zong Mengni some of the core problems of their company.

You should know, this Zong Mengni is indeed Zong Long's biological daughter, and apart from Zong Long, there is probably only Zong Mengni in this company.

In this situation, Zong Mengni could still say such things, which shows that she must know something.

Liu Peipei quickly gave a brief explanation of these matters, then casually found a noble-sounding reason and openly left the company.
