Chapter 5: The other side of good is bad!

  The other side of good is bad!

  The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward, and neither of them spoke, just staring at each other. Looking at Ziwen's slightly red face, her eyes gradually filled with a spring-like gaze, and the wine breath coming out of her mouth, Zhang Ziheng knew that if he didn't stop, he would make a mistake.

  At this time, Ziwen also knew that, possibly due to the influence of alcohol, she was especially looking forward to Zhang Ziheng making a mistake. She hoped he would kiss her and deeply hug her together. But Zhang Ziheng didn't move for half a day, anxious Ziwen's heart itched, almost wanting to take the initiative to kiss him herself.

  No, no, this won't do, Zhang Ziheng kept telling himself in his heart, he needed to calm down. Finally, reason overcame emotion, and he suddenly stood up, quickly walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet and continuously washed his face with cold water.

  Seeing him like this, Ziwen's heart couldn't help but feel a little lost. She smiled slightly and sighed silently, thinking what a fool he was for not grasping such a good opportunity.

  Coming out of the bathroom, Zhang Ziheng was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to look at Ziwen, lowering his head and saying: "You should rest early, you still have work tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he walked away without looking back.

  As he walked out of Ziwen's apartment, Zhang Ziheng let out a deep sigh. He was really nervous just now. Since breaking up with Yujie, this was his first time being in such close contact with a girl again. Rubbing his chest, his heart was still racing fast. What to do? He became tense once more.

  How embarrassing to say that I like her? Zhang Ziheng didn't know, but just now when the two of them made eye contact, another woman suddenly appeared in his mind, and what's even stranger is that the woman wasn't Yu Jie, but rather Xu Zong. Heaven, how could this be? Zhang Ziheng kept asking himself in his heart, why did he think of Xu Zong just now?

  He walked while lost in thought, and as he walked, his phone rang. He picked it up to see that it was Ziwen calling. Looking at the phone, Zhang Ziheng hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button.

  "Hey, Ziheng, be careful on your way back and go to bed early tonight. We'll always be good friends." Ziwen said softly before hanging up the phone.

  Listening to the busy tone coming from the receiver, Zhang Ziheng was confused. What did this mean? What did his sister Ziwen mean by saying that they would always be good friends? He couldn't think it through and had no idea at all.

  Just then, the phone rang again. When he looked at it, it was actually a call from Director Xu. Zhang Ziheng suddenly panicked and didn't know why he was so nervous. Was it because he had thought of her just now and felt guilty? The phone was still ringing, and Zhang Ziheng hesitated, wondering whether to answer or not, what to say after answering, rather than thinking about why Director Xu would call so late.

  He still didn't answer, and just as he let out a sigh of relief, his phone rang again - it was Xu Zong. It seemed like not answering wasn't an option, so Zhang Ziheng took a deep breath and slowly pressed the receive button. "Hello... hello?"

  "Hello, Zi Heng, it's Xu Zong." A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.

  "Ah, ah, Director Xu... what's going on so late?" Zhang Ziheng was extremely nervous, his voice even trembling.

  "Ah, that's right. Starting tomorrow, you'll be officially on board. There are some formalities to take care of, so remember to bring your documents, including your bank account information, and print out a copy to submit to my office. Your original documents had some unclear parts, and we can sign the contract at the same time tomorrow. I forgot to tell you during the day, but it just occurred to me now, so I'm calling you." Xu said with some apology.

  It was this matter after all. Zhang Ziheng secretly let out a sigh of relief, "I know, Director Xu. It's getting late, you should get some rest."

  "Hehe, thank you for your concern, you too."

  He hung up the phone and Zhang Ziheng finally understood what it meant to have a guilty conscience. Just now, he was the one who had been overthinking things, looks like you really can't think wildly after all.

  The next day, Zhang Ziheng came to the company and saw that Ziwen had already started working. Others were also busy. He didn't greet Ziwen as usual, but went straight to his seat, sat down, opened the computer, and started doing his own thing.

  "Did you sleep well last night?" Ziwen had quietly come to his side and softly laughed.

  Zhang Ziheng was startled, then chuckled foolishly and said, "Yeah, pretty good. How about you?"

  "I didn't sleep well, I fell asleep for a night and finally didn't sleep at all. I got up, took a bath and came to work." Ziwen looked really tired, and if you looked closely, you could easily see her dark circles under her eyes.

  "Ziwen jie, last night..."

  "Let's just forget about what happened last night, it's all in the past. Let's just drop it, okay?" Ziwen said with a smile.

  Looking at Ziwen's innocent face, Zhang Ziheng smiled and nodded. "Mm, okay."

  "Ah, I came to find you for something important. Oh, right, Director Xu said to go to her office when you arrive, she has something to discuss with you, hurry up." Ziwen said.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and took a file folder away. Entering the office, Director Xu was busy staring at the monitor. Zhang Ziheng walked over slowly, put the file folder on her desk, and said, "Director Xu, I'm here."

  Xu turned his head and smiled: "Sit down, there is a contract in front of you. Take a look if there are any problems. If not, sign your name and you will officially become an employee of Feiyu."

  Zhang Ziheng picked up the contract, took a look at it, confirmed that there was no mistake, signed his name on it, and then returned it to Director Xu.

  Xu took it and looked at it, nodding his head. He found that Zhang Ziheng was still sitting in the chair, so he asked: "Is there anything else?"

  "Director Xu, actually there's something I've been wanting to ask you, but I didn't know how to bring it up. I'm afraid that if I say it, you'll get angry." Zhang Ziheng said with some embarrassment.

  Xu Zong chuckled and said: "What's going on? Tell me, let me see how serious it is, maybe I won't get angry."

  "Director Xu, you're so young to have become the general manager. I'd like to know how you achieved this through your hard work." Zhang Ziheng was being cautious, afraid that Director Xu might misunderstand his intention.

  Xu shook his head and smiled, saying: "Do you think I relied on some big shot to become the general manager? Or do you think I actually have a relationship with our company's chairman?"

  "Ah, no, not at all, I didn't say that, really. Director Xu, to be honest, I've seen many young and beautiful women like you, but a successful one like you, this is my first time, so I'm just a bit curious, and I haven't doubted your character at all. Really, Director Xu, please don't get angry." Zhang Ziheng hastily explained.

  "Haha, you little guy, boasting about others is quite a set. Alright, since that's the case, I'll tell you something. I've been working at Feiyu Company for seven years now, and when I first started, I was just like you, a small designer. In these seven years, I've designed over 500 types of advertisements and materials, and participated in numerous advertising shoots and productions. This general manager position wasn't easily obtained through my hard work." Xu said seriously.

  Zhang Ziheng looked like he couldn't believe it, "Director Xu, you said you've been with the company for seven years? Is... is this true? How old are you this year?"

  "It's impolite to ask a woman her age, didn't you know that?"

  "Sorry, Director Xu, but I'm really curious. You look incredibly young, not at all like someone who's been working here for seven years." Zhang Ziheng said sincerely.

  This remark amused Xu, "Thank you for saying I look young, so how old do you think I am this year?"

  Zhang Ziheng looked at Director Xu's beautiful and mature face, thought for a moment, and said: "You... twenty-two years old?"

  "What? Haha... Am I really that young? You little brat, don't tease me!" Xu Zong was amused and laughed with his head thrown back.

  "Am I wrong? I think you're definitely no more than twenty-five years old," Zhang Ziheng said with certainty.

  "Alright, let's stop here. You should get going to work." Mr. Xú said, his expression turning serious once again.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and got up to leave. But he was still puzzled, even he himself didn't know why it was like this. What's the relationship between someone else's age and oneself? If Xu wasn't interrupting the conversation, Zhang Ziheng would have asked if they had a boyfriend. Thinking about it, he found himself daydreaming again. Hurriedly returning to his own position, he started working.

  Two days later, Zhang Ziheng came to the company in the morning and felt that something was wrong. He found that everyone in his department seemed unusually excited. Putting down his briefcase on his seat, he asked Wang Ge next door: "Wang Ge, what's the good news? Why does everyone look like they've been injected with chicken blood?"

  Wang Ge is considered an old employee in this department, although he's not very old, but in the design department, apart from Xu Zong, he has the most authority. Now Zhang Zi Heng is still a newcomer, so let him follow along.

  "You don't know? Didn't you see the notice posted at the entrance when you came in just now?"

  "No, I didn't sleep well last night and wasn't paying attention. What happened?"

  "Our company has landed a big deal, which is a collaboration with a foreign enterprise. This time the company attaches great importance to it, so they want to select one person from our department and another from the planning department to work together on it. Once it's done, just the bonus alone will be a lot of money, so everyone wants this opportunity." Wang Ge said with a smile.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and suddenly understood. "What kind of company is this? It has such a great motivating force, it seems that the bonus this time will not be small."

  "It's quite a lot, even scary. I heard that once it's done, there's a 100,000 yuan share."

  "What? 100,000 yuan? So much?! Wow, that's a pretty big sum of money!" As soon as Zhang Ziheng heard about the 100,000 yuan, he was somewhat moved. But he is still a newcomer, so it definitely has nothing to do with him.

  "Haha, do you think it's that easy to earn 100,000? If it succeeds, then it's fine. But if it fails, the company will lose money and you won't be able to keep your job either. So, Ziheng, everything has two sides. You should know that the other side of good is bad." Wang Ge shook his head with a smile.

  "The other side of good is bad? Brother Wang, I understand." Zhang Ziheng nodded and smiled.
