Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 712: Chapter 701 Who to Frame?

As he thought this, he immediately took out his phone and moved to one side to send out a message.

"I heard your research institute is about to succeed with something?"

Soon, he received a reply.

"Yes, we can succeed by Monday. Is there something you need, Mr. Zhan?"

Seeing the message from the staff member, a glint of cunning flashed in Zhan Kaiyang’s eyes.

"Let’s get straight to the point, I need you to deal with someone for me, steal the research report on Monday and give it to me. After that, I will need you to help me slander her, ensuring she is fired. You won’t be short of a reward at that time."

The moment the staff member heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he cautiously inquired:

"Mr. Zhan, whom do you want to frame?"

If it was to frame someone of high virtue and reputation, then he would rather not get involved.

After all, he wasn’t courageous enough to frame an important staff member of the research institute.

Not to mention, he dared not steal the documents lightly, which were very confidential files of the institute!

Zhan Kaiyang, aware of the other’s concerns, quickly reassured:

"Don’t worry, she is just a minor employee at your research institute."

He thought that the only thing Qiao Jing could bring to the table was the identity of an ordinary employee at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute.

He wanted Qiao Jing to lose this identity directly; then she would become a jobless bumpkin completely!

The staff member, upon hearing that she was only an ordinary employee, relaxed and agreed to the plan.

"Alright, Mr. Zhan, but you mustn’t open and read it yourself at that time!"

If it was only to slander someone, that wouldn’t be a problem.

His main concern was the leakage of the document’s content. If Professor Qiao conducted a thorough investigation and found out, he would be the one to suffer.

"Rest assured, I would certainly not do anything to offend Professor Qiao’s Research Institute, or the nationally famous Professor Qiao..."

Even as a member of the Zhan Family, he wouldn’t dare to commit such an act.

For one, Professor Qiao’s reputation was widely recognized, and the influential tycoons who supported her were countless.

He would not offend her over a single document.

Secondly, in the capital, who didn’t know that Qiao Jing was part of the national team? The test results from Professor Qiao’s research were critical national documents; if he stole them, the consequences were unthinkable!

With this in mind, the staff member finally set his worries aside.

——

On Monday, Zhan Kaiyang headed directly to the research institute and stopped his car by the roadside.

He rolled down the window, looking towards the institute’s entrance with an expectant gaze.

At the same time, a sneaky staff member inside the institute, holding a bag, was walking towards the entrance.

When he reached the entrance, he immediately spotted the luxury car across the street.

His eyes lit up momentarily as he took out his phone and sent a message to Zhan Kaiyang.

"Mr. Zhan, I’ve brought what you wanted."

Sitting in the car, Zhan Kaiyang saw this message, a triumphant smile appeared on his face, and he tapped the screen to reply: noveldrama

"Wait near the entrance."

The staff member replied with an "ok" and then eagerly looked in the direction of Zhan Kaiyang’s car.

Zhan Kaiyang got out of the car and quickly walked toward the vicinity of the institute’s entrance, gesturing to the staff member.

The staff member, nervous and looking around, clutched the bag tightly and jogged over to Zhan Kaiyang.

Upon seeing Zhan Kaiyang himself, he was momentarily taken aback, then a smile reappeared on his face.

"Mr. Zhan, everything you requested is in the bag."

He had thought that Zhan Yuanshan would send someone else to pick it up, but seeing that he came in person showed how much he valued this matter.

This also meant he could get more money.

Zhan Yuanshan directly reached out and took the bag, and after opening it and seeing the folders inside, the smile at the corner of his mouth grew even wider.

"You’ve worked hard. I’ll need your cooperation later. I’ll find an opportunity to frame her."

He paused, then took out a thick envelope he had brought with him.

"This is half of your payment, the rest I will give to you after the success."

The staff member hurriedly took it with both hands, and upon feeling the heavy weight of the envelope, their eyes started to gleam with excitement.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhan, I will cooperate with you in the next steps. You don’t need to find an opportunity; Elder Xu is preparing a banquet tonight. I think it would be a good chance to act during the banquet."

Upon hearing the staff member’s words, Zhan Kaiyang’s old eyes lit up.

"A banquet tonight?"

As he said this, his voice was filled with excitement and the thrill of impending revenge.

All the staff will be at the banquet. Just need to find the opportunity to put the documents on Qiao Jing, and everyone in the Research Institute will know about it. Qiao Jing will definitely be expelled!

The staff member nodded, then a troubled expression appeared on their face, and they tentatively began to speak.

"But... such a celebration banquet generally doesn’t allow outsiders. However, rest assured, I will find a way to get you in!"

Zhan Kaiyang nodded in satisfaction.

"Good, contact me when there’s news. The payment will be doubled."

Upon hearing the words ’payment will be doubled’, the staff member’s eyes shone even brighter.

"Sure, don’t worry!"

Zhan Kaiyang, holding the bag, started walking towards his car.

Just at this moment, Qiao Jing happened to arrive at the Research Institute, and as she was about to enter, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze lingering on Zhan Kaiyang for a few seconds.

What made her somewhat concerned was that the person chatting with Zhan Kaiyang was one of the Research Institute’s staff members?

Qiao Jing’s steps hesitated, and she watched with a scrutinizing look as Zhan Kaiyang passed by her.

What was Zhan Kaiyang doing at the Research Institute?

Before she could figure it out, she noticed that Zhan Kaiyang was also carrying a briefcase, which oddly struck her as strange.

Zhan Kaiyang also noticed Qiao Jing and subconsciously glanced at the briefcase in his hand before snorting coldly.

"Hmph!"

By tonight, Qiao Jing would know the consequences of opposing him!

Qiao Jing withdrew her gaze from Zhan Kaiyang, not thinking too much about it, not bothering with Zhan Kaiyang, and stepped into the Research Institute.

The staff member watching this scene from a distance felt an ominous premonition rising in their heart.

Why did Mr. Zhan seem to hold a grudge against Professor Qiao?

No, that can’t be right. How could that be possible? Professor Qiao is so nice; no one would have a conflict with him.

With this thought, the staff member checked the time and realized that it was almost time to get back to work. After greeting Qiao Jing, they quickly headed towards the entrance.

Qiao Jing, still inside the hall, saw the hurrying staff member and once again recalled the image of them conversing with Zhan Kaiyang.

She furrowed her brows lightly and quickly approached the staff member.

"Wait."

The staff member, guilty due to having done something shameful, stepped back subconsciously upon seeing Qiao Jing.

"Professor Qiao... do you need something?"

Noticing the small step back and the somewhat odd expression of the staff member, Qiao Jing asked:

"Do I look scary to you?"

Why did this employee seem so frightened of her?

The staff member quickly waved their hands and said with a forced smile:

"No, not at all. How could that be? I’m just in a bit of a hurry; I need to get back to work."
