President, Please Be Careful
195

As Xia Zhetao spoke, he glanced with a hint of excitement and looked at Mu Tingfeng confidently as if listening to her advice was the best thing to do.

President Mu had a high level of intelligence, but his emotional intelligence was below absolute zero. Therefore, he was easily influenced by Xia Zhetao. He was silent for a long time and finally, he spoke awkwardly, "Then ... keep doing that ..."

"Yes yes! Absolutely right! As the old saying goes, a man's sincerity can finally melt a woman's heart. Even a tough woman like Ms. Zhao would also give up on the man who kept chasing after him. President Mu, as long as you are willing to persevere and work hard, I'm sure you can win his heart soon.”

Mu Tingfeng was slightly moved by Xia Zhetao's silly comment. However, Mu Tingfeng was used to his restrained and reserved nature so, even if his emotions changed, others could not easily see the change in him. The only way to show that he was on cloud nine at the time was…

"I'll give you a raise after everything's over."

A simple sentence like this could console Xia Zhetao more effectively than the use of any magic bullet. She had worked for Mu Tingfeng for many years. Even though he didn't contribute much, at least he had worked hard for her. However, Xia Zhetao had not received a raise since a few years ago.

Although Xia Zhetao's salary was a thousand times higher than the average secretary, the rare pleasure of receiving a raise was not something that a high-paying person could experience. Xia Zhetao had worked hard and put in a lot of effort to achieve what he had today. But he was never given a raise!

Only God knows what he's doing is for the sake of his president so his president can have a smooth ride in his relationship. Who would have thought that he ended up with all his hard-earned money cut? He feels like... He just got kicked in the groin!

Therefore, Xia Zhetao was not happy. He knew it wasn't easy but he wanted a raise!

Today, his superiors finally took the initiative to bring up the topic. How could Xia Zhetao not be excited to the point of almost crying?

However, Xia Zhetao knew very well that the person he had to rely on was the person who looked cool on the outside, but warm on the inside and so on, and so on, no matter how excited Xia Zhetao was and how much he wanted to run out and shout. He looks very calm and shows his loyalty by saying, “President, don't worry. As your chief secretary, how could I not be able to handle a small matter like this? Please rest assured and leave everything to me. Everything is fine within our reach.”

Mu Tingfeng glanced at Xia Zhetao faintly and did not speak anything. All he wanted was the end result, and he never asked about the process. As long as Xia Zhetao could get things done, his salary increase was only natural. After all, it proved that Xia Zhetao was worth its value. However, if things are done badly ...

While Xia Zhetao indulged in the surprise of getting a raise, little did he know that he was overconfident in his speech and thus, his words buried his own grave.

In the end, not only did he not receive a raise the way he wanted. Instead, he made such a big mistake that his salary was cut once again. A tragedy in his career that almost no one can see!

Of course, all this will happen later.

"By the way, there's one more thing, President Mu." It was difficult for Xia Zhetao to break away from the excitement of the potential for a raise. However, at least she still obeyed professional ethics and did not forget the main reason why she had come to look for Mu Tingfeng.

Mu Tingfeng stopped in the middle of signing the documents. He did not speak and simply looked at Xia Zhetao, indicating that Xia Zhetao could continue.

"I heard that Ms. Zhao has kicked Ms. The other Zhao exited the Zhao Enterprise a few days ago."

"The other Zhao Miss?"

Xia Zhetao cleared his throat and explained, “Ms. Zhao is the person outside the elevator and wants to drag you to rest in his office. Er ... I guess she is also considered as Ms. .. sister. Zhao.”

"That's fine. This is it," Xia Zhetao paused for a moment before he continued slowly, "President Mu, the time the young lady of the Zhao family was expelled from the Zhao Enterprise happened right after the elevator accident ..."

Xia Zhetao had hinted at him so clearly that Mu Tingfeng immediately understood what he meant. A sharp look appeared in his eyes, and he said coldly, "So, do you suspect that this woman is related to the malfunctioning elevator that happened last time?"

Xia Zhetao nodded seriously. He subconsciously recalled that day when he saw Zhao Youxi in the Zhao Enterprise. The situation was in an urgent state and the scene was so chaotic that he did not have time to think deeply.

After Xia Zhetao calmed his mind and thought about it, he immediately discovered a suspicious thing.

At first, when Zhao Youxi heard some women discussing the two entering the elevator together, Zhao Youxi rushed out. At that time, the elevator was clearly not working. But, Zhao Youxi's reaction…

At that moment, Xia Zhetao had interpreted Zhao Youxi's abnormal reaction as jealousy as the two taking the same ride. However, as he remembered in detail, his expression back then was more like panic, not jealousy. Such a panicked expression was like he already knew something was wrong with the elevator and how it could compromise the safety of the president.

During the rescue process, Zhao Youxi had repeatedly behaved in an unusual manner and this was also very thought-provoking. Now, the time Zhao Youxi was expelled from Zhao Enterprise further convinced Xia Zhetao that Zhao Youxi was almost certainly related to the elevator accident. Even if Zhao Youxi might not be the main culprit, she must have been instrumental in this.

Xia Zhetao explained everything he knew to Mu Tingfeng in detail, including his own speculations. After all, Mu Tingfeng was considered one of the parties involved and hence, it was necessary to inform him.

Mu Tingfeng was expressionless after hearing Xia Zhetao's narration of the entire story. No one could identify the change in emotions from his face.

However, one could identify the increasingly cold aura in the atmosphere. Apparently, Mu Tingfeng wasn't as calm as she seemed.

Although Xia Zhetao had been working under Mu Tingfeng for many years and his ability to withstand the cold gradually increased, just like a portable popsicle in this new era, he could not help but shiver at the sudden bone-chilling chill.

'The president became very good at releasing his cold aura. Goddamnit! I froze…!'

Mu Tingfeng slowly held back after giving off a cold aura for some time. Then, he turned around and looked at Xia Zhetao, "Begging someone to find out what happened at all costs and by all means."

Xia Zhetao froze because of Mu Tingfeng's resolution. Before this, Xia Zhetao had thought of investigating the matter himself. However, it had happened in the Zhao Enterprise and hence, it would be a little troublesome to conduct an investigation.

However, since his superior had instructed him to conduct an investigation at all costs and at all costs, he could boldly execute it including the use of the frightening power of the Mu family that had been neglected and hidden in the darkness ...

"President Mu, what if ... I mean, what if it turns out that the accident was actually done by the young lady of the Zhao family, do you plan to ..."

Before Xia Zhetao finished speaking, Mu Tingfeng glared at him and said dejectedly, "If you can't even handle a small matter like this, what's the point of you being here ?!"

Xia Zhetao fell silent, 'In other words, do you mean you will only break free from all responsibility?'

'You took all the plaudits in pleasing the former Madam President, while I had to do all the tiring and tedious work behind the scenes! You can't set me up like this! This is the usual exploitation and suppression!’
