Chu Mengyao had already noticed the hostility coming from the five families, as Du Xueqi and Zhang Jing were reporting on the recent events within the company. Du Xueqi, being the secretary, was constantly busy with the company's affairs.
Zhang Jing, the finance minister of Chu Group, a capable subordinate under Chu Mengyao.
"President, employees from important departments of the company have all been courted by the five families; whether openly or secretly, they have offered generous conditions. Either it's an olive branch from one family, or several families have thrown out olive branches," Zhang Jing reported. "And here, the five families mentioned specifically that if I betray the company, I'll receive tremendous benefits. Moreover, key leaders from the five families have privately contacted me, some families more than once."
Zhang Jing held a very high position in Chu Group, making her an obvious target for wooing by various factions.
