Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Saw a Ghost? Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Saw a Ghost? He hadn’t expected that the CEO, who had been missing for nearly two months, would suddenly show up today!
Zhou Shuyan had already changed into a suit and tie.
Having gotten used to wearing loose sweatshirts in Hexing Village, he now felt oddly uncomfortable in formal attire.
Zhou Shuyan nodded slightly.
Although Zhou Shuyan wasn’t carrying his work card, his face was enough, and the security naturally didn’t dare to stop him.
Zhou Shuyan entered the company with Yu Zeqin.
Along the way, they stunned the company staff, who didn’t dare to move.
“CEO… CEO!” the receptionist was so startled that she bowed too forcefully and almost slamd her forehead on the desk.
Zhou Shuyan nodded at them.
Employees passing by all froze on the spot, as if they had seen a ghost.
So even dropped the files they were holding in front of their chests.
It was only after Zhou Shuyan had passed that so employees finally reacted, hurriedly calling out, “CEO!”
Zhou Shuyan didn’t turn back but simply nodded again and proceeded with Yu Zeqin to the elevator.
He had his own exclusive elevator, but he didn’t use it.
Instead, he deliberately waited in front of the staff elevator.
Yu Zeqin pressed the button to go up and waited for the elevator to descend.
Zhou Shuyan looked up, watching the screen above the elevator display the descending floor numbers.
The elevator paused at several floors, presumably for people getting on and off.
After a short while, the elevator arrived with a ding.
When the elevator doors opened, inside was Manager Liu from the marketing departnt.
Zhou Shuyan glanced again at the other’s badge, which indeed read “marketing departnt, Liu Songhao.”
Two other marketing departnt employees stood beside Liu Songhao.
Upon seeing Zhou Shuyan, the three of them froze like they had seen a ghost, and completely forgot that they were supposed to exit the elevator now.
“Manager Liu,” Yu Zeqin reminded them, “Are the three of you getting off the elevator?”
Liu Songhao and the others then regained their senses and hurried off the elevator, afraid of holding up Zhou Shuyan’s ti.
After getting off the elevator, Liu Songhao rembered to greet him, “CEO! You… you’ve returned!”
Zhou Shuyan nodded, “Go ahead with your work.”
“Yes… yes!” Liu Songhao nodded repeatedly, his round head bobbing up and down, his cheeks also trembling with his motions.
Zhou Shuyan and Yu Zeqin then entered the elevator.
Yu Zeqin pressed the button for the top floor, and the elevator doors closed.
With no one else in the elevator, Yu Zeqin spoke softly to Zhou Shuyan, “Currently, Zhou Xueyi is in the top-floor conference room eting with the executives.”
Zhou Shuyan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “Those ‘executives’ Zhou Xueyi recently promoted?”
Yu Zeqin’s lips twitched, “Yes.”
As they were speaking, the elevator stopped at the 12th floor.
With the ding of the bell, the elevator doors opened, and the person standing outside, seeing Zhou Shuyan, froze solidly.
As their brain went blank, their pupils shrank.
Imdiately after, a strong tension surged within them.
“Vice President Qiu.” Yu Zeqin called out beside Zhou Shuyan.
Back in Hexing Village, Zhou Shuyan had first confird that Yu Zeqin had not betrayed him.
Yu Zeqin was still in the company because Zhou Xueyi hadn’t demoted him, due to the fact that Yu Zeqin had always been Zhou Shuyan’s assistant.
Yu Zeqin knew many of Zhou Shuyan’s affairs.
Zhou Xueyi wanted to get so important information from Yu Zeqin.
But at the sa ti, he did not trust him enough to keep him in his previous position as the CEO’s assistant.
However, he needed to keep Yu Zeqin in the company without offering him a significant position.
With Yu Zeqin’s resu, resigning and joining another company would be eagerly welcod by others.
So, keeping Yu Zeqin was essential.
Thus, Zhou Xueyi still maintained Yu Zeqin’s position as the CEO’s assistant.
However, Zhou Xueyi had his assistant for significant matters, only assigning trivial work to Yu Zeqin.
Yu Zeqin didn’t mind, as he had less work and more pay, which was pretty good.
He covertly observed the company’s situation.
He noted down all the personnel movents and gathered information about each person, then summarized and reported to Zhou Shuyan.
Qiu Wanyun was one of the deputy general managers newly promoted by Zhou Xueyi.
“CEO… Ceo… Ceo…,” Qiu Wanyun’s lips trembled as if he stood shivering in the severe cold, his tongue and teeth clashing, unable to fully articulate “CEO.”
The corners of Zhou Shuyan’s mouth twitched slightly with either mockery or jest, as he chuckled lightly, “Seen a ghost?”
“No, no, no, no… CEO… CEO!” Though stamring, Qiu Wanyun finally managed to utter “CEO.”
Though the weather was still very hot, the central air conditioning inside the company was adjusted just right.
Yet, the shirt on the back under Qiu Wanyun’s suit was still soaked with sweat.
Zhou Shuyan had actually returned!
He had been promoted by Zhou Xueyi after Zhou Shuyan’s incident.
The forr general manager and deputy manager had been transferred.
He was considered one of Zhou Xueyi’s confidants.
Therefore, he knew a bit about Zhou Shuyan’s situation, though not much.
Zhou Shuyan had been missing for nearly two months, and even he thought Zhou Shuyan had died.
Even Zhou Xueyi believed that Zhou Shuyan was most likely dead.
Who would have thought that a person who everyone assud was dead would suddenly appear in the elevator, before his very eyes!
“You… you’ve returned!” Qiu Wanyun was terrified, wondering if Zhou Shuyan had co to settle scores with him.
But that seed unlikely, as in essence, he was just a small minion.
Besides, his previous position in the group wasn’t junior, so his promotion to vice president could be considered a normal job transfer.
Zhou Shuyan rembered Qiu Wanyun and now glanced at his work badge, lightly raising an eyebrow, “Already promoted to vice president.”
Not knowing what to respond, Qiu Wanyun could only offer a forced smile.
“I haven’t congratulated you on your promotion yet,” Zhou Shuyan said without needing Qiu Wanyun’s response, then turned to Yu Zeqin, “I recall Vice President Qiu used to be the manager of the finance departnt?”
“Yes,” Yu Zeqin nodded.
“Then that’s quite a promotion,” Zhou Shuyan added, speaking to Qiu Wanyun again, “Congratulations.”
Sweat had already broken out on Qiu Wanyun’s forehead, and not daring to et Zhou Shuyan’s eyes, he looked down, tremblingly offering a strained smile, “Why are you taking the staff elevator instead of your private one, CEO?”
Zhou Shuyan chuckled lightly, “After all, I am not currently the CEO. As far as I know, isn’t my uncle officially handling my position?”
At this point, Qiu Wanyun couldn’t even force a fake smile. His mind churned with anxiety about the power struggle among the higher-ups, and he just wished he could shrink into his shell like a turtle.
Nobody knew that Zhou Shuyan was going to show up at the company today, and Qiu Wanyun thought that Zhou Xueyi probably didn’t know either.
“I heard my uncle is holding a eting on the 25th floor,” Zhou Shuyan continued, “Are you going up?”
“Yes…” Qiu Wanyun hardly dared to breathe, cautiously nodding in response.
