Rong Dai had no doubts and glanced at the clock on the wall. Seeing that it was still early, she asked, "What time is it approximately?"
"About eight o'clock. There's been a lot going on at the company recently," Zhang Assistant replied, risking his life with his answer. After all, if this matter didn't succeed, he would meet his doom.
Having been by the CEO's side for so many years, he had come to realize that only the Madam could improve the CEO's mood.
When the CEO's mood improved, they not only had sweets to enjoy but could also live the life they had always dreamt of.
"In that case, I'll have the driver at home drop me off later," Rong Dai responded. Although she was married to Huo Shao Ting, and there was no problem with her going to the company, she still felt some impact. She didn't want her words and actions to affect the company or interfere with Huo Shao Ting's normal work.
Huo Shao Enterprises had achieved its current success thanks to Huo Shao Ting's hard work, and she couldn't ruin it.
After all, with the bankruptcy of Wen's Enterprises, although there weren't any clickbait media daring to write about it, some netizens' comments were very unfriendly.
They only saw Wen's family's support for Huo Shao Ting in the past but ignored how much Wen's Enterprises had taken from Huo's family over the years.
In the business world, there's only self-interest, no loyalty.
Huo Shao Ting had already given Wen's Enterprises enough face with his achievements. But greed knows no bounds, and Wen's Enterprises, having tasted the sweetness, considered it their due to demand more and more.
But human nature is strange like that. Seeing Wen's Enterprises fail, even though they were the ones who had harmed Huo Shao Ting, Huo Shao Enterprises would be labeled as bullies.
It seemed that they were seen as heartless for not sympathizing with the weak.
But back then, when Wen Shi Lan knew that releasing Zuo Ran would put her life in danger, she still did it without any hesitation.
Anyone could blame Huo Shao Ting for this matter, but she had to stand by his side.
So naturally, she had to consider him.
"Very well, Madam. If you have any requests, feel free to contact me anytime. The CEO is busy and might not be able to answer your calls," Zhang Assistant didn't say much but subtly reminded her.
Rong Dai responded and then hung up the phone.
She had great trust in Zhang Assistant's words, so she truly didn't call Huo Shao Ting.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Assistant let out a sigh of relief and adjusted his mindset before heading to Huo Shao Ting's office.
"CEO, Madam just called and said she'll join you for dinner tonight."
Huo Shao Ting was dealing with documents. Hearing Zhang Assistant's words, he looked up at his wristwatch. It was already the end of work hours.
Although Wen's Enterprises had gone bankrupt and been acquired by Huo Shao Enterprises, there were still many matters to handle. He had quite a few things to take care of today.
He had discussed these matters with Rong Dai before, and she should have remembered them.
"That's fine. Bring the remaining files over, and I'll handle them all together," Huo Shao Ting said without much thought, instructing Zhang Assistant to go downstairs.
As Zhang Assistant saw him continue to focus on handling the documents, a heavy burden lifted from his heart.
It was fortunate that he didn't call Mrs. Huo to inquire, otherwise it would have required even more effort. This Miss really had quite the audacity.
Both the husband and wife thought the other wanted to have dinner together, so they didn't think much of it and went about their own business.
After hanging up the call with Zhang Assistant, Rong Dai received a call from Ji Zheng. It was regarding the assets left by An Feiya.
Most of the work had already been taken care of within a month's time.
After hanging up the phone, she went upstairs to the bedroom, washed her face, tidied up a bit, and changed into a shoulder-revealing long dress.
"Sister-in-law, are you going out?" Huo Meishu asked anxiously, keeping a close eye on her movements.
Seeing her come out in a long dress, looking like she was about to go out, she immediately asked.
"Yes, I'm going to meet Lawyer Ji. I won't be coming back for dinner tonight, so you and Shaojie don't have to wait for me and Shaoting. Just go ahead and eat," Rong Dai nodded.
"Oh, I see." Huo Meishu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was also worried that these two would make a phone call.
That would expose everything.
"There's too much to handle with the merger of the Wen Corporation. Thank you, sister-in-law, for understanding Big Brother," Huo Meishu flattered, feeling guilty.
Rong Dai couldn't help but smile wryly. She didn't do anything, she just went to have a meal, so how did it become her understanding?
"That's alright. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first," she glanced at the time on her wristwatch. It was just a meeting to give some instructions, so she had enough time.
"Go ahead, go ahead!" Huo Meishu nodded hastily.
Rong Dai didn't suspect anything and took a private car to the restaurant where Ji Zheng had arranged to meet. At a glance, she spotted Ji Zheng sitting in a booth.
The setting sun cast a halo on his handsome and gentle cheeks. This man was also incredibly good-looking, very eye-catching in the crowd.
"The assets have all been counted. I've withdrawn what can be withdrawn, and the profits and losses have been documented. These few projects can't be withdrawn in the short term," Ji Zheng said as he saw her approach, taking out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and handing them to her, emphasizing a few investment items.
"I trust you, Mr. Ji," Rong Dai took a quick glance and didn't look any further.
On one hand, she didn't understand, and on the other hand, Ji Zheng knew Huo Shaoting.
Even if it was for the sake of Huo Shaoting's face, he wouldn't deceive her.
Moreover, someone like Huo Shaoting didn't approve of many people.
If Ji Zheng couldn't be trusted, Wen Corporation wouldn't have entrusted him with the compensation matters.
"You are straightforward, although it's not sincere, I still like to hear it," Ji Zheng was a discerning person, of course, he knew Rong Dai didn't believe in him, but in Huo Shaoting.
"This is all the assets from the withdrawal, the password is six-eight. Excluding these few projects, the total assets amount to 368 million Chinese Yuan."
He took out a bank card and placed it on the table, handing it over.
Rong Dai didn't immediately put away the bank card. Instead, she looked at him and asked, "What about your salary, Mr. Ji?"
She wasn't sure how An Feiya had cooperated with Ji Zheng, entrusting such a large sum of assets to an outsider like him. It was inevitable that the price would be very attractive.
"Miss Rong, are you planning to give me a tip? My tip is not low, you know," Ji Zheng replied, his face wearing a playful and teasing smile.
Rong Dai, however, answered him seriously, "I'm not very clear about these matters, but I believe Mr. Ji wouldn't make an exorbitant demand."
Her words were tactful, and Ji Zheng burst into laughter.
