Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

"Why are you so persistent in knowing about my friend?" Yang Qingyue asked, rolling her eyes.

"I don't want to waste my time hacking her info." Tang Ziyi lied without a breath. Hmm, technically, she didn't lie because Athena showed the data on the screen after she spoke.

It wasn't her hand anyway. She couldn't hack within this short period of time like a celestial supercomputer.

"I'm from MSS." Cai Ning said in resignation. Her interest piqued more on knowing who Tang Ziyi was.

"MSS!" Exclamations and gasps of air uttered from behind.

"We shouldn't remove our mask in front of Madam Cai then."

"Who knows whether our childhoods' misbehavior might be dug out…Hehe."

"Girls, have you removed any black materials and deleted the source? And you, any videos remaining on your electronics."

"Oi! Sister, why your mind is unclean? Don't think everyone is like yours?"

"Haha!" x n.

Cai Ning shook her head, amused at their childish words.

The infamous intelligence agency wasn't appreciated much by the public. But Tang Ziyi's girls didn't mind. They reckoned Cai Ning didn't appear to be such a person, willing to dig into their identities, except for Tang Ziyi.

"Not anymore soon." Yang Qingyue interrupted as she teased and patted her friend's shoulder, receiving a side-eye. "My mother is going to transfer her to work under me soon."

Chuckles appeared. The group got two messages from Yang Qingyue. These two policewomen were close friends and Yang Qingyue's background was huge.

Not that it mattered to their work. Tang Ziyi took out her phone and gave it to Yang Qingyue over her shoulder. "You can look through my CVs on the phone; I've written my experience and line of work."

Yang Qingyue accepted the phone dubiously and scanned the words on the screen. After reading for a while, her eyes widened as she gestured Cai Ning onto the screen.

Cai Ning expressed similarly. The two were shocked. Although they expected Tang Ziyi to possess sufficient experience and abilities, they discovered they had instead underestimated her.

Watching those shiny words, describing her excellence and merits, they had no words. Tang Ziyi worked for a very long time as a mercenary, more dangerous than being a soldier in their opinion.

Look at the experience and skill set levels.

The phone in Cai Ning's hand was robbed away by the rest of the girls, who covered their mouths and screeched in silence. Admiration almost flew out of their eyes as they glanced at Tang Ziyi repeatedly.

Noticing the weird silence, Tang Ziyi turned her head around and wrinkled her eyebrows. "Alright, girls. If you finished watching it, give it back to me. I'm not some animal in a zoo to satisfy your eyes."

Upon receiving the phone, Tang Ziyi felt a pat and asked Yang Qingyue: "What's the matter?"

"Hmm, do you mind working for me? To train my subordinates in terms of military tactics." Yang Qingyue asked. Yes, she intended to rob General Tang out of Ling Qingyu's hands, despite her chance of success very low.

Tang Ziyi laughed out and shook her head. "You should have talked to me quietly. Why didn't you talk that out loud in front of my subordinates? If I agree what will they see me as."

Of course, Tang Ziyi was merely kidding around. It was never for a salary she worked for Ling Qingyu. There were reasons and even Ling Qingyu wasn't aware of them. Only Xiao Yue, whose situation was similar to her, knew.

Tang Ziyi added after a while: "You don't need to worry about instructing your officers because when I'm free I'm willing to volunteer with my group of girls. So, don't worry. Not to mention, our cooperation might revolve around this topic. You'll find out later. I'm not gonna spoil you two."

Spirit Beauty & Clothing Co.Ltd..

In a president's office.

While Tang Ziyi was having a good conversation with Yang Qingyue's and Cai Ning's duo, Ling Qingyu contemplated several impacts of today's event.

When she was utilizing brain power, Tang Ziyi flirted with Yang Qingyue; if the poor Ling Qingyu found out about it, she might explode in anger.

You already had Xiao Yue and you weren't satisfied yet. That would be her exact outburst.

In fact, she was directing her attention elsewhere, because from the corner of her eyes seeing Xiao Yue enjoy her secretary's knee pillow which she never had, Ling Qingyu almost took action and robbed Xiao Yue's place.

A phone call disturbed her thoughts again. Why even jealously very hard to express these days?

Another unknown number and she answered the call. It was Wang Xiuying who expressed her gratitude and worries, fearing if she made a burden for Ling Qingyu.

Ling Qingyu, who was initially flabbergasted, understood Wang Xiuying's inner thoughts and comforted the young woman's insecurity.

Whether it was hers or the others, one way or another, Ling Qingyu would fight against these organized crime groups and corrupted officials.

The journey to greatness couldn't be achieved without a battle. After placating several times, she wasn't a big problem, Ling Qingyu hung up the call.

Wang Xiuying's call reminded one of the issues. She almost forgot a crucial opportunity to expand her business.

Once news about the arrest of the staff and the son of the instant noodles company made headlines, their company's stock would drop surely.

Not mentioning if Ling Qingyu desired, she could plummet the entire worth value remaining in the company, and lower the cost for her to buy the company.

It wasn't bad for her to start dealing with the food sector too. Although the product was ready-made and earned very little, the sales were in a larger spectrum.

As her ideas beamed, Ling Qingyu was about to speak when she saw the sight of Zhao Xiurong comforting Xiao Yue again.

You're a mature man. Don't compare with others. You can't win either way. Ling Qingyu told herself.

Perhaps the last sentence worked when Ling Qingyu remembered the day Xiao Yue held her underneath and smacked her butt mercilessly.

"Sister Zhao." Ling Qingyu called her secretary.

"Hmm!" Zhao Xiurong muttered back.

"You know about Wang Xiuying's trio workplace." Ling Qingyu continued seeing her head nod. "Those arrested on the TVs are from the three girls' company."

Ling Qingyu paused. As someone who excelled in her job and understood Ling Qingyu, Zhao Xiurong knew the next steps. "What do you want me to do?"

"As usual. Add rumors, buy it, and sell it again to devalue the price and when it neared bankruptcy, we own the company. For the funds, I believe the revenue from our company can handle it."

Zhao Xiurong smoothened out and gently let Xiao Yue continue her sleep. Afterward, she sat down close to Ling Qingyu and asked. "Do we need to call our lawyers?"

"Nope. There won't be any legal issues against my move. But do notify him of my action." Ling Qingyu rubbed her forehead as she thought about her troublesome personal lawyers.

Although he was still overseas, his partner had been taking care of most of Ling Qingyu's cases. The problem wasn't this. It's just, Ling Qingyu sighed.

"Understood, Sister Ling. Anything else?" Zhao Xiurong waited for additional tasks.

"I almost forgot. Carry out due diligence; I need every intel: cashflow, financial statements, and any publicly announced data on my desk before we have lunch. Can you do that, Sister Zhao?" Ling Qingyu glanced at her secretary.

"No problem. I'll be on it right now." Zhao Xiurong replied with a smile and left the room.

"And if you can that includes your detailed analysis on financial health, assets, liabilities, and potential for growth too." Ling Qingyu reminded from a far.

Zhao Xiurong waved her hand as she closed the doors. Ling Qingyu curled her lips as she noticed Sister Zhao getting more and more familiar with her, which was what she always wanted.

In fact, Ling Qingyu could summon Athena for the task but an eyesore before her caused her to drive away Zhao Xiurong to work. Xiao Yue rolled her eyes silently at the moment and continued her nap.

Some might point out Ling Qingyu's action was unethical, highly disregarding employees and shareholders of the target company, including some investors.

Playing with other people's minds was a debatable fact concerning with ethics, especially manipulating people as Ling Qingyu intended to.

But in this world, everyone manipulates others to an extent based on their needs and wants. Even the social interactions weren't spared from manipulating one another.
