Qiao Zhen glanced at Su Ning beside her with a hint of gratitude, only then realizing that there were indeed good people in this company.

"Okay, thank you then."

Qiao Zhen nodded, and sure enough, she saw Gu Xijue after entering.

"Zhenzhen, you're finally back to work."

Gu Xijue was very happy to see Qiao Zhen return to the company.

But at this moment, Qiao Zhen no longer had the same feeling as before, and her tone of voice when she spoke to him was rather indifferent.

"Yes, I've made up my mind. I'll leave once I finish this elementary school project."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xijue probably thought he had misheard, and asked again incredulously, "What do you mean? Are you going to resign?"

"Yes." Qiao Zhen didn't bother arguing with him and nodded decisively.

"What happened? Zhenzhen, you can tell me if you're having any difficulties. It's not a good idea for you to quit the company so soon after you joined."

Gu Xijue became a little anxious and quickly stepped forward to grasp Qiao Zhen's shoulder.

"Never mind." She didn't want to explain anything to Gu Xijue, because many things can't be solved by talking; rather, some people's subconscious intuition can determine the course of a matter.

Seeing Qiao Zhen's resolute expression, Gu Xijue's face turned ugly, but he didn't get angry at Qiao Zhen. Instead, he took a deep breath and then nodded reluctantly.

"Since that's what you've decided, I'll respect your decision. But do you really want to go back to that company?"

They both knew whose company Gu Xijue was talking about.

This time, however, Qiao Zhen did not hesitate and nodded.

"Yes, I've made up my mind."

When she learned that Lu Zheng had been secretly solving her problem, Qiao Zhen admitted that she was indeed moved by this man.

Just then, the doorknob turned, and Lu Zheng walked in, casually putting his arm around Qiao Zhen's shoulder.

"So, is the project all settled?"

When Gu Xijue saw Lu Zheng walk in, his face became even uglier.

"The talks are almost over. How about your end?"

"Yes, it's settled. Now you need to decide what punishment that woman should receive."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to the door.

Looking at the trembling woman in front of her, Qiao Zhen sighed and turned to Gu Xijue.

“If I take the usual approach to resolve this, it will definitely cause some harm to your company. So I’m thinking of having a private conversation with you. You fire her and make sure she never appears in this company again. That way, I’ll let this matter drop and make peace. What do you say?”

Gu Xijue nodded without hesitation.

At this moment, the woman next to her broke down. She couldn't help but kneel down and explain as she walked towards Qiao Zhen.

“I admit that I was jealous of you about the project, but I would like to ask you to investigate the milk tea and thug incident again. I really don’t know, I don’t know who did it, or why I was framed. Is it because I did something wrong before?”

Seeing the woman weeping bitterly, Qiao Zhen also fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing that Qiao Zhen was silent, Lu Zheng couldn't help but step forward and ask her with concern.

"No." Qiao Zhen shook her head, deciding to put the matter aside for the time being, and continued, "Let's handle it this way."

"Okay, now that things are settled, I'll head back. Feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."

Qiao Zhen nodded.

After Lu Zheng walked away, Su Ning came over with an admiring look on her face and said, "Sister Qiao Zhen, I'm so envious that you have such a good friend like him. Unlike me, I'm about to get married..."

"You're getting married?" Qiao Zhen was a little surprised. Looking at Su Ning, who wasn't very old, she didn't expect her to get married so early.

"Yes, Sister Qiao Zhen, could you attend my wedding? Although we haven't known each other for very long, I would like to ask you to be there."

Whether Qiao Zhen was overthinking it or not, when she looked into Su Ning's eyes, she noticed a fleeting glint of cunning in them.

"What, Sister Qiao Zhen, you don't agree?"

Seeing that Qiao Zhen looked like she was about to refuse, Su Ning couldn't help but pout, as if she was about to cry.

"I'll participate, don't do this."

Qiao Zhen couldn't help but rub her forehead, but whether it was because of a woman's sixth sense or not, she felt that something was amiss.

Before Qiao Zhen could think further, Su Ning hugged her tightly and said very warmly.

"Thank you so much, Sister Qiao Zhen. You must come tomorrow!"

Qiao Zhen simply nodded, watching Su Ning's figure slowly walk away, feeling helpless.

The next day, Qiao Zhen simply packed her things and planned to attend Su Ning's wedding.

Because Qiao Zhen didn't think she would be an important figure at the wedding, she started playing on her phone as soon as she arrived at the venue, completely unaware of her surroundings.

When the wedding began, Qiao Zhen realized something was wrong; the groom wore a mask the entire time, and...

This man looks somewhat familiar?

Qiao Zhen frowned and squinted hard, trying to see what the man looked like, but unfortunately the man was wearing a mask and Qiao Zhen couldn't see a single eye.

Moreover, another issue has arisen at the wedding.

The bride, Su Ning, was late in appearing on stage.

As the music began to play softly, it was time for the bride to make her entrance, but the room was empty. The guests couldn't help but murmur and gossip.
