Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 236 : 236 Finally Realizing the Seriousness of the Problem

Operations Department.

Zhao Yulu became the center of attention for everyone.

Originally, everyone thought that Zhao Yulu was just a newbie.

Now it seems, where is this a newbie?

This is simply a pro.

The strong woman from Penguin, having such a good relationship with Zhao Yulu.

This network is simply incredible.

Even if she doesn't work at Shengda Literature, she can choose a better job.

When Zhao Yulu dared to stand up to Director Zhong Lezhi, they thought she was lacking a harsh lesson from society, or that she relied on her looks, not afraid of not finding a job.

Now it seems that's not the case at all.

The confidence that Zhao Yulu showed in refusing Tao Ying Jun and standing up to Zhong Lezhi must have come from that strong woman at Penguin.

"Yu Lu, what's the name of the strong woman you were hugging just now, and what's her position at Penguin?" Li Minmin leaned over to Zhao Yulu and asked curiously in a low voice.

"Her name is Han Mengting, and she's an executive at Penguin Group," Zhao Yulu said with a light smile.

"What, an executive at Penguin Group!"

Li Minmin was startled, let out a sharp scream, and quickly covered her mouth.

An executive at Penguin is definitely one of the elites among business elites.

Han Mengting is only in her thirties.

An executive in her thirties, especially at an internet giant like Penguin, is simply unimaginable.

Truly worthy of being a strong woman!

No wonder Zhao Yulu isn't afraid of Zhong Lezhi.

With such a background, of course, she's not afraid of him.

If I had such a background, I would choose to fight back too if someone gave me trouble.

Especially under the circumstances of Penguin planning to acquire Shengda Literature.

...

Tao Ying Jun arrived at his father's office.

His father, Tao Yongchang, is a vice president of Shengda Literature, in charge of the market.

All the external liaison work is his responsibility.

During the development of Shengda Literature, he made significant contributions.

Qiu Wenyu gave him five percent shareholding as a reward for his efforts.

However, he only has dividend rights, no voting rights.

And the shares will be automatically retracted if he leaves the company.

Also, they will be forcefully retracted in emergency situations.

For instance, in the current situation, where Penguin is acquiring all shares, they would be taken back.

Tao Ying Jun dared to be so domineering at Shengda Literature because he had such a father as a vice president.

"Why did you come?"

Seeing his son come in, Tao Yongchang put down his work.

"Dad, I want to ask you something," Tao Ying Jun said as he sat on the sofa.

"What is it?" Tao Yongchang picked up the thermos, poured some hot water, and sat opposite his son.

Judging from his son's expression, it seemed to be something important.

"Dad, there's a woman in her thirties on Penguin's negotiation team, do you know what position she holds at Penguin?" Tao Ying Jun asked directly.

"That woman, ah, her position is not simple," Tao Yongchang said, taking a sip of his tea.

"How is it not simple?" Tao Ying Jun's heart skipped a beat, sensing a bad premonition.

"Her name is Han Mengting, she's the board secretary of Penguin Investment Group," Tao Yongchang said with a smile.

"What! The board secretary!" Tao Ying Jun was shocked.

He might not be that capable, but with a vice president as his father, he still knew some of the high-level corporate structures.

Secretaries differ from one another.

For instance, a regular CEO's secretary is just someone who works closely with the CEO and is not considered a high-ranking position.

But a board secretary is different.

In public companies, the board secretary is truly a senior executive.

The board secretary liaises with the board of directors and reports to each member, assuming a position of distinction.

And those group directors are essentially shareholders of the corporation.

It can be said that even the general manager of the group has to be polite to the board secretary.

"Dad, that Han Mengting is only in her thirties, couldn't she be the mistress of a major shareholder of Penguin?" Tao Yingjun asked.

It was hard to imagine how Han Mengting, such a young woman, could be the board secretary for a behemoth like Penguin.

Based on his sordid suspicions, he thought Han Mengting must have climbed her way up by offering her body, potentially being a mistress to one of the significant shareholders.

His question, in fact, was put rather subtly.

Even in his heart, he speculated whether Han Mengting might be President Ma's mistress.

"Ying Jun, you are mistaken about this. She isn't anyone's mistress. She is a genuine powerful woman who has earned her position through her abilities," Tao Yongchang clarified.

"She holds a double doctorate in Economics and Law from Yale University, and what is more incredible, she completed her double doctorate curriculum by the age of twenty-five, obtaining both degrees."

"Besides that, she also has a very powerful background."

Tao Yongchang had a certain degree of knowledge about Han Mengting.

"What sort of background?" Tao Yingjun wasn't particularly moved by Han Mengting's dual doctorate degrees in Economics and Law.

Even with a double doctorate, rising to a position like board secretary for an internet giant like Penguin Investment would be incredibly challenging.

Han Mengting's background must have played a significant role.

Hence, he was more interested in Han Mengting's background.

"Han Mengting's own uncle is Han Jun, who is leading the negotiations this time."

"You should know that Han Jun is the Vice President of Penguin Group and also the General Manager of Penguin Investment."

"Han Jun is highly valued by President Ma within the Penguin Group."

"Over the years, under Han Jun's investment strategies, Penguin Group has built a massive business empire and established a business ecosystem."

"It can be said that Han Jun is President Ma's right-hand man."

"With Han Mengting's own outstanding abilities and the connection through Han Jun, it's not surprising for her to secure the board secretary position at Penguin Group," he added wistfully.

Tao Yongchang couldn't help but express his admiration.

There really is no comparison between people. With a good background and strong capabilities, such individuals are destined to be the elites of society.

"I didn't expect her to have such a substantial background," said Tao Yingjun, his face turning uglier by the minute.

Zhao Yulu was very close to Han Mengting.

If he treated Zhao Yulu that way and Penguin acquired Shengda Literature, Zhao Yulu would definitely ask Han Mengting for help against him.

For the board secretary of Penguin Group to target him would be all too simple.

Tao Yongchang didn't notice his son's changing expression and continued, "I also heard that once Penguin acquires Shengda Literature, Han Mengting will take over as President of Shengda Literature!"

"What!" Tao Yingjun's face grew even more somber.

As a board secretary, Han Mengting would already have no trouble meddling in Shengda Literature's affairs and dealing with him.

With Han Mengting taking over as President of Shengda Literature, it would be even less of a problem to beat him down.

It wasn't just him at stake; even his father could be implicated.

The possibility of both father and son being ousted from Shengda Literature wasn't out of the question.

Now, he was really troubled about what to do next.

At this moment, Tao Yingjun finally realized the severity of the situation.

All that he had came from his father.

Without his father, he would have never been able to hold a management position at Shengda Literature.

He would have never been able to be so arrogant at Shengda Literature without anyone keeping him in check.

If his father were to be implicated, his privileged life would be over.

Should people in the industry find out that he was the cause of his father's downfall, it would be very difficult for his father to find a similar position in the industry again.
