Liu Tingyu was initially a little anxious, but when she turned around and saw Lin Qingtong's calm demeanor, she immediately understood what was going on.
She simply sat down as well, and asked with a bright smile, "Is she really your sister? She doesn't look quite like her."
"She's just the daughter of a mistress, so she doesn't look much like her."
Lin Qingtong answered calmly, and Liu Tingyu nodded thoughtfully.
"So that's how it is. She's the thief you told me about before, the one who always steals your things?"
Are you still stealing now?
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong gave a lazy and casual smile.
"That's why you're witnessing such a good show today."
Lin Jiaorui was sitting there acting when she suddenly heard Lin Qingtong and Liu Tingyu talking familiarly, and her eyes widened immediately.
She stood up abruptly, pointed at Lin Qingtong, and exclaimed, "You know Liu Tingyu, and you're still putting on an act with me here? You two were in cahoots all along!!"
"Lin Qingtong, you've gone too far!"
At this moment, Lin Jiaorui was no longer pretending to have a stomachache; her voice was full of energy.
Lin Qingtong crossed her arms and asked with a smile, "Is your stomach pain gone?"
Just moments ago, General Manager Li and the other employees, who had been very worried about Lin Jiaorui, suddenly came to their senses and looked at her with strange expressions.
"She was faking it! That's too much! She deceived our feelings!"
"I even called an ambulance for her, what a waste of time."
...
Lin Qingtong stood up gracefully, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Lin Jiaorui, are you not leaving because you want to watch us sign the contract?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaorui glared fiercely at Lin Qingtong, then slammed the door and left.
After Lin Jiaorui left, Lin Qingtong formally discussed the cooperation with Liu Tingyu.
Just as Lin Jiaorui got into the car to go back, she received a call from Second Master Shen.
As soon as the call connected, Second Master Shen's tone changed from his usual gentle one to one that was gloomy and cold.
“You have utterly disgraced the Shen family today. You need to know your place and stop doing those futile things.”
"If there's a next time, get out of here. I'm only letting you get away with this because you're pregnant. Otherwise, you'd be a worthless slut that nobody would respect!"
Lin Jiaorui was filled with humiliation, but she could only feign gentleness and grievance as she spoke.
"Brother, I know I was wrong. I was framed this time. I will never do it again. Please don't abandon me. You are all I have left."
She spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice, her tone full of admiration and worship, satisfying Master Shen's vanity.
Master Shen's tone softened, "Be good, little one, I'll reward you when we get back."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiaorui showed a disgusted expression; the reward that Master Shen had mentioned was no good thing.
She gripped her phone tightly, a cold glint in her eyes; she would never let Lin Qingtong get away with this.
While Lin Qingtong was still discussing cooperation with Xingyao, Lin Jiaorui hurriedly went to the storage room of Sukai Home Furnishings, found the cleaning lady Wang Ma, and questioned her fiercely.
"How did you even manage to do this? Lin Qingtong guessed it all! I've completely lost face today!"
Wang Ma answered pitifully, her body trembling uncontrollably.
“Miss Lin, I was just doing what you instructed, but I really didn’t know that Lin Qingtong had set this up.”
"She's so wicked!"
Upon hearing Wang Ma's words, Lin Jiaorui's expression softened slightly, and she let out a cold snort.
"I'll give you another 500,000 yuan, if you do something for me."
Upon hearing that there was money to be made, Wang Ma immediately swallowed hard.
"What's wrong?"
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Lin Jiaorui's eyes, and she spoke through gritted teeth.
"I want you to burn down the warehouse!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ma's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly waved her hands in refusal.
"No, that's illegal. No matter how much money you offer me, I won't do it."
Lin Jiaorui grabbed Wang Ma's clothes, her tone icy and terrifying to the extreme.
"If you don't do it, I'll expose your theft and get back the money I gave you before. I have plenty of ways to do it!"
In that instant, Wang Ma's face turned pale and then red. She regretted cooperating with Lin Jiaorui immensely. It was like falling into a wolf's den with no way back.
Left with no other choice, Wang Ma had to agree to cooperate with Lin Jiaorui.
"I agree, but you have to guarantee my safety."
Lin Jiaorui discussed the details of the cooperation with Wang Ma in a gloomy tone.
"Three days from now is close to the holiday, so the duty shifts will be more relaxed. We'll go then, and after things are over, I'll take you to a very safe place."
...
Lin Qingtong returned to the company and was just passing by the restroom entrance when she suddenly saw a figure standing there, waving at her.
"Mr. Lin, please come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."
After hearing what the other party had to say, Lin Qingtong spoke up immediately.
"Don't worry, I will ensure your safety, Aunt Wang."
Wang Ma was rubbing her hands pitifully as she apologized to Lin Qingtong: "President Lin, I was blinded by greed before, and Lin Jiaorui threatened me, so that's why I did what I did."
Lin Qingtong didn't believe what Wang Ma said, but it was a good thing that the other party took the initiative to admit her mistake.
Lin Qingtong smiled and said, "I understand. I'll find an excuse to take you away later, and I'll also protect your family."
After settling Wang Ma in, Lin Qingtong turned around, her gaze darkening, a cold and terrifying aura brewing within it.
She really underestimated Lin Jiaorui; she actually wanted to burn down the warehouse, which was full of all kinds of solid wood furniture.
If this place really catches fire, even this building will probably be destroyed, not to mention there are many businesses inside.
Lin Qingtong went straight to the warehouse door and tried to open it, but she couldn't open it no matter what she did.
She knocked on the door with a cold face, but there was still no response. So she had no choice but to get the storeroom key from Geng Xiangmei and open the door.
After the door opened, Geng Xiangmei spoke up to explain on behalf of Wang Meili, who was guarding the warehouse.
"President Lin, Wang Meili must have had an urgent matter to attend to, she definitely didn't do it on purpose."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong turned around and glanced at Geng Xiangmei indifferently.
“It’s only natural for you to speak up for your old friend, but this isn’t the first time she’s done this.”
Geng Xiangmei was stunned for a moment, only to see Lin Qingtong push open the door and enter the staff break room, where she saw Wang Meili squatting there making a phone call.
"The bed you want is guaranteed to be brand new, and it's only half the usual price. However, you'll need to pick it up yourself. Don't worry, we guarantee it's all of the same quality. Have you heard of Sukai Furniture?"
"If you encounter any problems later, you can go to the store to have someone repair it."
In the dimly lit and gloomy lounge, Wang Meili let out a long sigh after hanging up the phone, her lips curled into a smile of happiness and pride.
"With my salary, I earned another thousand yuan today, that's great!"
As soon as she turned around, she was so frightened that she jumped up and down. When she saw clearly what was going on, her face turned deathly pale.
"Mr. Lin, how much did you hear?"
