“Ni An.” Ming Yao stared straight at her, her eyes full of inquiry. “I have a few questions for you now, and you must answer them truthfully.”

Ni An was startled by Ming Yao's serious expression and nodded vigorously.

"Was my recording given to Boss Wang by you?"

"Huh?" Ni An was stunned, her eyes widening like walnuts. "How could Boss Wang have gotten his hands on the recording?"

Meeting Mingyao's suspicious gaze, Ni An frowned. "Does my sister doubt me?"

She pouted and said discontentedly, "Hmph, my sister and I are such good friends, how could you doubt me!"

“I’m sorry, I didn’t want to either.” Mingyao sighed. “Yesterday, Boss Wang went to the company with the recording to terminate the contract, saying that I was threatening him with the recording.”

Upon hearing this, Ni An gasped, her mouth agape in shock. "I only took a day off and this is the worst that's happened!"

"I knew I shouldn't have asked for leave." She frowned, looking regretful. "Sister Su, you can tell me about it when we get to the company."

Mingyao sighed and rubbed her forehead. "At a time like this, you're still gossiping."

Judging from Ni An's demeanor, Ming Yao was certain that it was not Ni An who handed over the recording.

"Did you leave the company immediately after finding the recording, or did you stay at the company for a while?"

Were there any other people in the company at the time?

Mingyao already had a vague suspicion in her heart: if it wasn't Ni An, it must be her!

After a moment of thought, Ni An said seriously, "After I saw the recording that day, Zhou Bapi suddenly asked me to help her clean her office."

"Could it be around that time..." She paused, her anger flaring up, "What a ruthless scoundrel!"

"She must have discovered the recording device and deliberately made me clean for her in order to get rid of me!"

"That shrew! I'm going to settle this score with her at the company!" she said indignantly, wishing she could rush to the company immediately, grab Zhou Shuya, and yell at her, "Thief! Thief! Sister, call the police later and teach her a lesson!"

It turned out that Zhou Shuya had stolen the recording.

In order to avoid drawing attention to herself, Zhou Shuya even went to great lengths to edit out the parts of Boss Wang's mention of her.

What a pity! All her hard work ultimately backfired.

He deserved to be fired by Pei Siyu!

"Calm down." Mingyao exhaled a breath of relief, the weight lifted from her heart. "Zhou Shuya has been fired."

Ni An, who was frantically outputting her output, suddenly froze. "Fired?"

She couldn't believe her ears; her eyes practically popped out of their sockets.

Mingyao hummed in agreement and nodded, continuing, "After President Pei fired her, he had security guards kick her out."

Ni An burst into hearty laughter, "That feels so good! Finally, I don't have to be disgusted by Zhou Bapi anymore!"

"What a pity, why did I take the day off yesterday?"

She would be overjoyed if she could witness Zhou Shuya being kicked out of the company by Pei Siyu.

"Come on, sister, go to the company and explain things to me." Ni An grabbed Ming Yao's hand and walked towards the company.

"I took the day off today."

Mingyao broke free from Zhou Shuya's grasp. "You too, you just disappear as soon as you ask for leave."

I sent you a message yesterday and you still haven't replied!

She feigned displeasure and said, "If you had replied to my message, I might have been able to record the most exciting part."

Ni An's face immediately fell. "Sister, you should have said so earlier!"

"The WeChat account you added is my work account; I don't log in outside of work hours."

"Next time you contact me, just call me." She reached out and asked Mingyao for her phone number. "I'll give you my number now."

After saying that, Ni An remembered that Ming Yao had asked for leave. "What is Sister going to do on leave?"

Mingyao tugged at the corners of her lips and said helplessly, "It's all because of the project that Boss Wang has."

“Mr. Wang’s project is crucial to the company, and we cannot abandon it just because of the contract termination.”

It was getting late, and Mingyao dared not delay any longer. "See you in three days. I hope I can succeed quickly."

Suddenly remembering something, Ni An exclaimed, "Wait!" She grabbed Ming Yao's wrist. "Sister, could there be another reason why Boss Wang terminated the contract?"

Why would you think that?

Ni An leaned close to Ming Yao's ear, lowered his voice, and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear, "I have a friend who knows Boss Wang. He said that Boss Wang's child has been kidnapped."

“I didn’t believe it at the time, but judging from what happened yesterday, it’s probably true.”

She advised with concern, "They'd even go so far as to kidnap someone for the sake of the project. Sister, you'd better not get involved."

“We’re just ordinary receptionists; there’s no need for us to work ourselves to the bone for the company.”

Mingyao could understand Ni An's good intentions, but she was not just a simple receptionist; she was also Pei Siyu's wife.

Having finally been given a second chance at life, she couldn't just sit and wait to die!

She chuckled and said, "It's alright, wait for my good news."

Before Ni An could speak again, Ming Yao waved to her and left in two quick steps.

Mingyao hailed a taxi on the roadside, her destination set to Boss Wang's company. "Please hurry, driver, I'm in a rush."

"Girl, you're putting me in a difficult position. It's rush hour, and no matter how fast I go, I can't get much faster."

Mingyao pulled out a red bill and asked, "Is this okay?"

"Okay, no problem."

The driver floored the accelerator, his lips practically twitching into a wide grin, and swerved onto another road. "Don't worry, young lady, I know Haidu's terrain best. I guarantee I'll get you to your destination as quickly as possible!"

Sure enough, the driver took a route with very little traffic, and the journey was smooth sailing.

Mingyao looked at the scenery flashing by outside the car window, her expression darkening.

Could it be that in his past life, Boss Wang suddenly terminated his contract because his child was kidnapped?

In a daze, the car waiting for the green light shook violently twice.

Mingyao snapped out of her reverie, turned around, and saw a minivan crash into the rear of her car.

"How do you drive? You can rear-end someone even while waiting at a yellow light!"

"Miss, I'm really sorry, you've seen the situation. I'll just accept the money as usual."

The driver was in a hurry to get out of the car to argue, but he didn't forget to ask Mingyao for money.

Mingyao, understanding that her master's work was not easy, directly gave him fifty yuan, saying, "Thank you, Master."

She got out of the car, and a blonde, blue-eyed foreign beauty dressed in a professional office lady outfit got out of the van that had rear-ended her.

The woman tossed her long, wavy blonde hair aside, her brows furrowed, and her light blue eyes filled with anger. "Waste of time!"

Mingyao was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected her Chinese to be so fluent.

The blonde beauty noticed Mingyao's scrutinizing gaze and glared at her.

Seeing this, Mingyao quickly looked away, smiled at the woman, and turned to leave.

The blonde beauty has fair skin, delicate and deep features, and a tall and curvaceous figure.

What makes her most unique and attractive is her pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, which are like a vast ocean in their aquamarine color.

Even though Mingyao was in a hurry, she couldn't help but be drawn to her stunning beauty and glance at her a few more times.
