Chapter 5 He sentenced her to death.

Su Youling stayed up all night to redo the design draft and took the work to Yaosheng Group to apologize, but was turned away.

I only found out after calling Amy that Mr. Ding had been invited to Donglin Company's new product launch today.

Donglin is Li Qidong's startup company, which mainly deals in the luxury goods industry and is always targeting the Li family. This time, it held a new product launch conference without any warning before the Li family, which made Su Youling feel uneasy.

She rushed back to the company to report to Li Tingxi, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Lin Lexi leaning pitifully on the man's shoulder complaining.

"Tingxi, I never thought of competing with Miss Shen for the director's position! She forced me to be your secretary, and people outside are saying I'm not fit to be a designer and only fit to be a mistress... Waaah, how am I supposed to face people at the company now?"

The pear blossoms, glistening with raindrops, are a sight to behold, a delicate and charming little white flower.

Su Youling knocked on the door and came in, saying calmly, "You offended the client first by calling Yaosheng to reschedule the meeting, and then you ruined my design draft. If it weren't for President Li's sake, you would have been fired long ago according to company rules and regulations."

"Director, I know you offended the client and are afraid Tingxi will blame you. I will plead for you, but you can't make me take the blame!" Lin Lexi said fearfully, hiding behind Li Tingxi. "As for the design draft, it was your assistant who deliberately pushed me, which caused me to spill the coffee. I don't know who he listened to and why he has such a strong prejudice against a girl like me!"

"What a sharp tongue you have to twist the truth!" Su Youling glanced at her coldly, but before she could finish speaking, Li Tingxi interrupted her in a cold voice, "You cause trouble and then try to find someone to take the blame. Is this the kind of attitude a design director should have? A designer who neglects his duties to the point of not even being able to protect the design drafts has the nerve to blame others?"

He stared at Su Youling's fair face, thinking that if she could apologize to him like before, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Su Youling gave a wry smile.

Why is Li Tingxi, who always keeps public and private matters separate, so protective of his new love interest? Or is he deliberately showing favoritism to get revenge for her disobedience?

Regardless of the reason, since Li Tingxi didn't intend to pursue the culprit, she was too lazy to waste her breath and could only try her best to make up for the losses and do her best.

I left my job after only one month.

"President Li wants Miss Lin to take over the position of director in such a short time, ideally keeping her by his side for a period of time to guide her personally, so that no one will gossip about it later. I made this personnel change for Miss Lin's sake." Su Youling didn't seem jealous or concerned at all. Instead, her actions of trying to match him with Lin Lexi made Li Tingxi furious and frustrated.

He suddenly leaned down, cornering Su Youling against the table with nowhere to retreat, and deliberately provoked her, saying, "Since Mrs. Li is so magnanimous, from now on, your handover of work will include not only the design department, but also teaching the younger generation how to serve and please me..."

Subordinate, serving, flattering... Thinking of how he humiliated her in front of Lin Xiaoyu, saying she was just a plaything who did things for money, Su Youling felt nauseous. Her face became even colder and more composed. "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely train Miss Lin to be your next perfect plaything!"

These words enraged Lin Lexi, who had been eager to show off, causing her to grit her teeth and throw herself into Li Tingxi's arms, sobbing, "We're both women, how could Miss Shen humiliate me like this?"

Li Tingxi stiffened, instinctively wanting to push her away, but after glancing at Su Youling, he pulled the woman into his arms and coaxed her a few words. Then, with a gloomy expression, he ordered Su Youling to "apologize!"

Lin Lexi watched coldly, neither humble nor arrogant, "I was just relaying President Li's original words, where did I go wrong?"

"You!" Li Tingxi's face turned pale.

Her previous innocent and naive demeanor was all an act!

Su Youling clearly has extremely aggressive fangs and is not at a disadvantage in the slightest.

At this moment, Qin He suddenly rushed in with the deputy director of the design department, breaking the tense atmosphere.

Seeing Su You

Ling was also there. The deputy director rushed up with red eyes and said, "Director Shen, no matter what your relationship with President Li is, and why you resigned, you can't be so selfish! You sold the design work that so many of us poured our hearts and souls into to our competitor, Donglin Company. Did you even think about how we felt?"

Su Youling's expression changed, a sense of foreboding creeping over her. "Calm down! What happened?"

The deputy director, panting heavily, said, "Stop pretending! Donglin suddenly held a new product launch today, and the design drawings that were released were the work we rushed to finish overnight. You have these design drawings in your hands. The moment you take them out of the company, Donglin will have them."

“Our major client, Yaosheng Group, announced on the spot that it would sign a contract with Donglin. This shows that Shen Xiyue had been planning to anger President Ding yesterday, and that she had already been hooking up with the CEO of Donglin for a long time.” The deputy director took out a photo—an ambiguous picture of Su Youling and Li Qidong embracing each other. “President Li, Li's Group has suffered huge losses this time. We can’t just let her run away with Donglin’s dirty money!”

Lin Lexi exclaimed in shock, "Isn't CEO Donglin Tingxi's mortal enemy? How come Miss Shen is hugging him? I heard you went to the sanatorium yesterday. Is there some financial difficulty at home that led you to make this mistake?"

Li Tingxi's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Su Youling looked over coldly, her eyes like sharp swords. "A single, maliciously taken photo, and Miss Lin is already so eager to pin this on me?"

"I wanted to help you, why are you being so fierce?" Lin Lexi's face turned pale, and she pitifully hid next to Li Tingxi.

Li Tingxi shielded her behind him, suddenly grabbing Su Youling's wrist. His face was dark and brooding, and a fierce aura emanated from him. "Now that things have come to this, what other excuses do you have?"

A deathly silence fell over the room; everyone was too frightened to breathe.

A bitter feeling welled up in Su Youling's heart.

quibble……

He didn't believe her, and with just two words, he sentenced her to death!

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

She didn't waste her breath arguing with them; instead, she immediately called President Ding and Amy, only to find that they had blocked her. Her heart sank.

Li Tingxi watched coldly, his words ruthless: "I'll give you a week. If you can't recover the losses, the company will sue you for stealing trade secrets."

Looking into his cold eyes, Su Youling's eyes stung with tears, and she felt inexplicably wronged.

With Yaosheng reneging on the contract, the destruction of the design drawings, Donglin's hijacking of the press conference, ambiguous photos, and framing... Li Tingxi couldn't possibly be unaware of the abnormalities behind this series of schemes.

He made her take the blame without even investigating, probably as retaliation for her defying his wishes and insisting on a divorce.

Li Tingxi is such a proud person. He was repeatedly rejected by a substitute he looked down on. It would be normal for him to torture her to death.

"Okay, one week it is." Su Youling's eyes were stubborn as she walked away with her back straight, her back exuding an air of unyielding pride.

That chance encounter with Li Qidong outside the hospital was premeditated, all for the purpose of taking this ambiguous photo.

She was set up!

But we will never suffer in silence.

Li Tingxi's eyes were cold and deep. Su Youling, who was no longer under his control, was completely different from before—stubborn like a little donkey, full of discomfort.

But the more she disobeyed him, the more uncontrollably he became concerned about her every move.

Li Tingxi grew increasingly irritated and coldly chased everyone away.

Qin He couldn't help but plead at the very end, "President Li, Yaosheng changed his ticket to Donglin this time because the Ding family's heir was parachuted into the group, and Li Qidong has a very good relationship with that heir, so it's impossible for Madam to persuade Yaosheng to turn back... Are you really not going to help Madam?"

"It was her insistence on leaving my protective circle," Li Tingxi said coldly, "and whatever her fate may be, it's her own doing!"

He was waiting to see how Su Youling would bow down to him when she was desperate.
