Chen Qiuyi's expression changed. She knew that the son of the general manager was interested in her, and she had always tried to avoid him, but this time, he had openly expressed it, and many off-duty colleagues nearby were casting gossipy glances their way.
"It's Chen Qiuyi, and also Manager Zheng!"
"Isn't that fat guy Chen Qiuyi's boyfriend?"
"Really? What's her taste? With such a good appearance, what boyfriend can't she find?"
"Exactly, everyone knows Manager Zheng is interested in her. Is she out of her mind?"
"Shh, keep it down. Do you still want to work here? In Dongji City, there are only a few large companies with good treatment, and if someone hears us, you could be fired tomorrow just for stepping in with your left foot first!"@@@@
"Haha!"
...
Muted whispers followed, but Zheng Hefeng didn't care; his father was one of the shareholders of the company, and no one dared gossip about him.
"Manager Zheng, this is my friend. I hope you can be a bit more polite to him," Chen Qiuyi said, her face flushed.
"What friend? Isn't he just your boyfriend?" Zheng Hefeng sneered, "Qiuyi, I know you've been classmates for many years, but I think you should distinguish what's friendship and what's love. This boyfriend of yours only has a bachelor's degree from a second-tier university, comes from an ordinary family, and earns only 4000 a month. He struggles to support himself, so why endure this hardship with him?"
Xing Zhe's face also turned red, and he clenched his fists tightly, but he had no room to refute Zheng Hefeng's words.
He indeed liked Chen Qiuyi and had liked her for many years, always being there for her as just a friend.

He hadn't thought about breaking out of this platonic relationship, but he felt inferior and lacked confidence. Ever since they were young, Chen Qiuyi had always been more excellent than him. Now, with nothing to his name, how could he pursue her?
"Qiuyi, let me tell you, the company received a huge order yesterday. An investor from Jiangnan City wants to build a factory here in Dongji City. It covers 800 acres and will adhere to the highest standards. This project involves an investment of over 20 billion, and I am the chief person in charge!"
"What? A 20 billion project?" Upon hearing this news, a collective gasp spread through the crowd. Even for city government projects in Dongji City, there wasn't a 20 billion project in a year, and moreover, this was a corporate investment. Just what kind of businessman could afford such an investment project?
"Hey, Qiuyi, Old Xing, what are you dragging your feet for?" Just then, a youthful voice came from the entrance of the company.
"Zhang Menglong!" Both of them saw Zhang Menglong and immediately displayed a look of surprise.
The name immediately attracted quite a bit of attention.
"Zhang Menglong? Which Zhang Menglong? The Zhang Menglong?"
"Him! Yes, him! I've seen his pictures, the wealthiest man in the world!"
"My god, Chen Qiuyi and her boyfriend actually know Zhang Menglong?"
"That's impossible, right? How could they know Zhang Menglong? That's unscientific! They are from ordinary families, aren't they? How could they have connections with someone like Zhang Menglong?"
"Could it be... Could it be that their information is all fake?"
"They're not here to experience life, are they?"
"Hard to say! Rich people these days seem to like putting their kids through such experiences!"
Birds of a feather flock together, and people are known by the company they keep. As the world's richest man, it was impossible for Zhang Menglong to be surrounded by people wealthier than him, but definitely by those who were not from ordinary backgrounds.
To be friends with Zhang Menglong, their family assets threshold must be at least a few billion Huaxia currency, right?
Suddenly, in the eyes of those around them, Chen Qiuyi and Xing Zhe were seen as young people from wealthy families.
"Big brother, did I just hear you talking about a big deal you landed?" Zhang Menglong slapped the side of Zheng Hefeng's car. "Nice car, almost caught up to the one my aunt uses to go grocery shopping!"
"Your aunt goes grocery shopping in a Porsche?" The employees around muttered internally but no one dared utter a word. The world's richest man indeed, even if his housekeeper and doorman split up over a long-distance relationship, they would believe it!
"Yes... Yes, it's a project from an entrepreneur from Jiangnan City, to build an 800-acre factory here in our Dongji City. Our Haisheng Group has taken on this project!" Zheng Hefeng tried desperately to calm himself down, suddenly realizing he might have provoked someone he shouldn't have.
"Oh, indeed it's that project," Zhang Menglong laughed, "Quite coincidental, it seems this deal was actually given to you by me!"
