It wasn't until the car stopped and Chu Xing woke her up that Song Mai slowly opened her eyes, still sleepy.

The man's voice was gentle: "We've arrived. Go back to your room and get some sleep."

Song Mai nodded blankly, and half-asleep, she got out of the car and walked into the room.

She was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as she got back to her bedroom and collapsed on the bed.

Until the alarm clock rang the next morning.

She didn't have time to make breakfast, so she quickly took a shower and prepared to go out. But as she was about to take a bite, she saw the breakfast prepared on the table and a note left by the man.

The words on the note were written in a flamboyant and elegant style, just like his aloof and indifferent personality.

Song Mai felt a warmth in her heart, picked up the sandwich and eggs on the table, and went out.

But today everything seems to be going wrong. The first traffic light she encountered after leaving home was red, and every intersection along the way was red.

It took her almost half an hour to ride the 15-minute journey to the company building.

She glanced at the time on her phone, rushed into the company, and clocked in just in time, almost being late.

She had barely sat down when Lin Ran asked her how things were going. Song Mai briefly explained the situation and then began working on her tasks.

However, a short while later, someone notified her to attend a meeting.

Song Mai didn't take it seriously and went to the meeting room with her notebook.

But when she opened the door, she realized something was wrong. The meeting room was not only filled with people from the Spanish department, but also the vice president in charge of the translation market, as well as managers from other departments, including Fang Yu.

The vice president in charge of the translation market looked particularly grim, while the others all looked at her with strange eyes. Only Fang Yu remained calm, but upon closer inspection, it was not hard to see that there was a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

Song Mai had a bad feeling. She pursed her lips and sat down next to Fang Yu with some unease.

"Bang—"

She had barely sat down when Vice President Li Yan slammed his hand heavily on the conference table, his face as cold and hard as iron.

"Manager Song! You've been with the company for quite a few years now!"

Song Mai's premonition grew stronger, and she even had a vague feeling that her premonition was being confirmed.

She nodded, not quite understanding.

"Yes, it's been five years."

Li Yan's anger rose from his heart, and he shouted angrily:

"The company has treated you well over the years. You do have some ability, but you also need the company as a platform and the company's willingness to give you opportunities. If I remember correctly, the company just promoted you to deputy department manager last month. Why would you betray the company!"

Upon hearing this, Song Mai suddenly looked up, her mind filled with questions.

"Betrayed the company? Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

She has been with this company since graduation and has never thought about changing jobs over the years. No matter how hard or tiring it is, she has never complained. She is hardworking and conscientious, and if nothing unexpected happens, she plans to work for the company for the rest of her life.

After all, she is someone who really likes stability, and once her life is stable, she is unwilling to change it easily.

How could she possibly betray the company?

Fang Yu held a fountain pen in his hand, occasionally opening and closing the cap, making a rhythmic sound that was so subtle it was almost imperceptible. But Song Mai was sitting right next to her, very close to him, and she could hear the sound clearly, which made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Li Yan sneered:

"You're quite the actor, still unwilling to admit it. The fact that I'm questioning you in front of so many people today proves that the company already has the evidence. You should probably stop your act!"

Song Mai's first reaction was to think about the people and things in the company that she hadn't paid much attention to recently. She guessed that she had been framed by someone, but she couldn't figure out exactly what the other party had done or how they had managed to turn things this way.

She said earnestly, "Vice President Li, I really don't know what happened. I suppose someone is trying to sabotage this and smear me. As you know, this isn't the first time I've been wronged. I hope you can give me some time. I will find out what really happened as soon as possible and prove my innocence."

However, before Li Yan could speak, Fang Yu spoke first:

"Song Mai, it's pointless for you to keep playing dumb now. You can fool me with this, but Vice President Li is too smart to believe your nonsense. The evidence is right in front of you, so just confess. How much money did Kexin give you?"

Li Yan threw a document in front of Song Mai. After Song Mai picked it up, she saw that the document contained information about a project that the company had recently acquired.

In the past two days, the company has secured a new cooperation project with a domestic technology company and a Western information company. All the translation work in the project will be handled by Song Mai's company, and Song Mai will be responsible for the final arrangement and follow-up of this work.

Because the project was only recently finalized and the project materials were only given to Song Mai in the last two days, she hadn't had time to look at them carefully before locking them in her office drawer.

But she recognized the document at a glance; it was the information for that project.

Is there a problem with this document?

Li Yan glared at her angrily.

"There's a problem, of course there's a problem. I'd like to ask you, why did the project materials for the project we secured end up in Xunyi's hands?"

Upon hearing this, Song Mai's eyelids twitched, and the premonition felt like a boulder crashing into her heart.

Kexin has always been a competitor of her company. Both companies are relatively large translation companies in Southern Metropolis Daily and have always been in a competitive relationship, often with no clear winner. Their market share in the translation market is also roughly the same.

According to Song Mai, Kexin was also a competitor when the project was being discussed, but ultimately failed to beat her company.

This information should not have been in Kexin's hands. If it has, as the person in charge of this project, she is indeed suspected of selling client information.

But now the project has been won by her company, and Kexin is just a translation company. Since they didn't win the project, this information is meaningless to Kexin.

Why did Kexin pay to buy this information?

She had no reason to sell this useless information to the rival translation company.

Even if they wanted to sell project information, they should have sold it to the domestic tech company's competitor, not to Kexin.

In that case, this can at most be considered a failure to maintain confidentiality and the leakage of client project information. How can it be considered a betrayal of the company?

She voiced her doubts, believing it to be a flaw left by the person who framed her.

“Vice President Li, I still want to ask you to trust me. Give me some time and I will definitely be able to find out what really happened. Kexin isn’t stupid. What use would he have for spending money to buy this information?”
