  "Me... me..." Zhang Jiaming hung his head, squeezing his eyes shut with all his might, his whole body trembling. "Boss, if I tell you, can you keep me safe?"

  "Hmm..." Lin Qiang leaned back against the chair and began to ponder.

  After all, Zhang Jiaming was just a black face, a shrimp soldier and crab general who did things for Hao Wei. If he could be used to catch Hao Wei and obtain direct evidence, it wouldn't be impossible to let him off.

  "Be able to keep your position in the bank."

  "Alright, I believe you." Zhang Jiaming finally made up his mind and slammed his fist on the table. "If one doesn't take care of oneself, heaven and earth will be destroyed! Hao Xing, I owe you an apology..."

  Then Zhang Jiaming picked up the mineral water on the table, twisted the cap hard, drank it all in one gulp, and finally calmed down, wiping his mouth with his sleeve.

  "Actually, from half a year ago, Hao Wei has been forcing me..."

  Just as Zhang Jiaming finished speaking, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and he stopped making his statement, lowering his head to take out the phone.

  "Stop it! Keep talking!" Lin Qiang sternly interrupted.

  However, he still spoke slowly, and Zhang Jiaming had already taken out his mobile phone and seen who was coming.

  His emotions changed in an instant, and after several cycles, human hearts are unpredictable.

  "Wait a minute, I'll answer this call."

  Lin Qiang had already guessed who it was and simply waved his arm: "Believe him or believe me, you think about it yourself."

  Zhang Jiaming smiled wryly and got up to pace to the corner of the wall.

  "Hao Xing..."

  "Hmm... I've heard."

  "Is that so..."

  "......Alright."

  "Don't worry!"

  "No problem."

  The conversation between the two was brief and lasted less than a minute. Zhang Jiaming had already hung up the phone and stood in front of Lin Qiang again.

  This time, he smiled instead.

  "Manager." Zhang Jiaming's mouth slightly curved upwards, pointing to the photocopies of receipts on the table. "These are all normal financial expenditures for Jiaxin's decoration, our company is just handling official business as usual, I think you're overthinking this."

  Lin Qiang looked at Zhang Jiaming's suddenly changing expression and didn't even have the heart to scold him.

  "You can go now, I've done what I should do." Lin Qiang swung his arm and saw the guest off.

  "By the way, there's something else." Zhang Jiaming became arrogant again, "I advise you, don't talk too much, the sales enthusiasm of the staff outside is so high now. When Hao Xing comes back, those orders will be returned to me, and it will make me feel embarrassed."

  "You're quite something." Lin Qiang didn't get angry, but instead smiled and pointed at Zhang Jiaming. "Let's wait for him to come back, I've taken note of your expression. 15 days later, let's see what it'll turn into."

  "Don't worry, boss, I'll go first." Zhang Jiaming turned around and left, wiping the last bit of sweat from his brow with his sleeve.

  Bang!!

  Zhang Jiaming slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

  Lin Qiang clenched his fists, making a cracking sound, but his face didn't look particularly angry. It was just that something he used to do with ease now required some effort.

  At this time, Zheng Shuai also pushed the door and came in, looking back at Zhang Jiaming who was walking away in the corridor: "Is he crazy? Is he sick, slamming the door so heavily?"

  "Never mind him." Lin Qiang rushed to Zheng Shuai and nodded, "Is there any progress?"

  "Hmm." Zheng Shuai closed the door, sat down mysteriously in front of Lin Qiang, and at the same time looked a bit embarrassed. "I've investigated, Hao Wei's relationship with the branch..."

  "Who."

  "It's her..." Zheng Shuai scratched his head, stuttering.

  "Who is it?"

  "She... " Zheng Shuai hesitated for half a day before finally saying, "the one who touched my leg... known as Luo Xia..."

  "I'm going." Lin Qiang exclaimed, "Luosa? The one who wants to sleep with you?"

  Zheng Shuai nodded weakly: "Damn it, they're all a bunch of bastards."

  "What's their relationship?" Lin Qiang asked further.

  "Rosa is Hao Wei's aunt," Zheng Shuai said indignantly. "They kept it a secret, and I had to ask many people to confirm this. See, Hao Wei's wife also has the surname Luo."

  "Rosa... Rosa... what a beautiful name has been ruined." Lin Qiang slammed his fist on the table, and things didn't go as smoothly as he had imagined.

  Rosa, Director of Human Resources at the Beijing Branch. In a bank, two things are most important: money and people. A person in different positions gets completely different benefits, which also makes the human resources department's power unprecedentedly great, almost the most overbearing department except for the board of directors.

  Every staff member's transfer and promotion are matters of a lifetime for themselves, and the one who holds all these rights is Rosa. This is also why she can easily demote Zheng Shuai to here with just one dissatisfaction. Qian Cai was able to find a way to transfer Lin Qiang away by flattering Rosa in the past.

  "How is the relationship between Rosa and Xiaxin?" Lin Qiang suddenly asked out of nowhere.

  "Your thinking is too abrupt!" Zheng Shuai was taken aback, recalling, "These two people seem to be like well water not interfering with river water, each minding their own business. Although they are both leaders in the same department, they rarely interact with each other."

  "That's it, they're not on good terms." Lin Qiang picked up the pen on the table and played with it, "Although neither of them looks down on each other, they seem to be intentionally keeping a relative peace, I don't know if this one thing is enough to turn things around..."

  "What? You mean... using Xia Xian to pressure Rosa?" Zheng Shuai immediately advised, "Lin Lao Da, let's not play so big, the personnel of the branch are not something we can interfere with!"

  "What you said is wrong." Lin Qiang stared at Zheng Shuai, revealing a long-lost smile. "What you said, is the us of now."

  He pointed his index finger upwards and said firmly: "We must go back, we must cross over her, and if necessary, trample on her."

  Zheng Shuai took a deep breath of cold air.

  This is Lin Qiang.

  He finally understood why he had always trusted this big brother so much and why he had been following him all along.

  He has what he doesn't have, such as ambition, imagination and courage.

  That Rosa is an enemy Zheng Shuai doesn't even dare to think about.

  "Zheng Shuai, don't you think this is the script given to us by heaven?" Lin Qiang not only didn't show fear in the face of a strong enemy, but instead became even more courageous. He stood up and looked out the window, saying loudly, "You, me, because of Rosa, have reunited here; Hao Wei, because of Rosa, has gained capital through rule-breaking and corruption; and now, if we want to survive, we must once again oppose Rosa."

  Zheng Shuai always felt that he owed some courage, the courage to resist and struggle. At this moment, he felt infected by Lin Qiang's back shadow. In his script, there may not necessarily be Hao Wei or Luosa, but one thing is certain: Lin Qiang must be the protagonist.

  Zheng Shuai took a deep breath and immediately got up, walked to Lin Qiang's side, and hugged his shoulders tightly.

  "This time, together."

  "En, yīqǐ."

  Translation: "Mm, together."

  Cough...

  The door opened, Lin Xiaozi stared blankly at the two of them, looking at these two people who were full of emotions and gazing out the window, suddenly feeling something...

  "Forget it... I knocked on the door... I didn't see anything..." Lin Xiaozi closed the door and turned around to escape.

  Lin Qiang and Zheng Shuai looked at each other and burst out laughing at the same time.
