The boy showed no remorse for his wrongdoing: "It felt like a secret agent on a mission, super cool, and there was even a bounty. My brothers and I deleted what he wanted to delete using the blueprints and password that person gave us."
The chubby guy sitting next to him quickly asked, "Do you have a backup of the original video that was deleted?"
The boy shrugged and spread his hands to indicate no: "Our task is to delete it completely, not to steal this project file."
"It's been completely deleted, and we don't have a backup. You'll have to redo that video."
Lu Fen slammed his fist on the table excitedly. "Do you know that the footage was filmed by someone who spent half a month secretly investigating? I spent three days editing the project files, and Fatty and I communicated carefully many times during that time. This is our hard work!"
Facing the dejected chubby guy and the angry editor, the teenagers shook their legs and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, we're minors, so you can't do anything to us."
“The three of us brothers have already spent all 3,000 yuan. Now you want us to pay back the money? We don’t have the money to pay back the money. Our family can’t afford to pay back the money.”
The three teenagers' nonchalant attitude was infuriating.
But as they said, there's really nothing we can do about them.
Police are already investigating the online part-time job group, but the other party seems to have a lot of counter-surveillance experience and they haven't found any useful clues.
The investigation stalled, and Fatty and the editor were utterly disheartened, with only two days left until Friday.
He Qinqin heard from her colleagues about the outcome of the two men's mediation at the police station.
She was secretly delighted and couldn't help but sigh that Aunt Ling was the most reliable person.
At the same time, He Qinqin became increasingly puzzled. Since her grandmother was so powerful and had such connections, why did she still want her to stay in the Si family and suffer?
Does Grandma want the Si family's property?
But she simply couldn't compete with Si Jin and Li Han.
All she wanted was to stay at the Si family home, eat and drink well, buy whatever she wanted with her black card, be a freeloader for life, and live happily with her husband.
And since Grandma has been lurking in the Si family for so many years, she must have done a lot of things that are unfair to the Si family.
Grandma is so good to me, is she trying to get me to cooperate in some kind of conspiracy?
He Qinqin felt a chill run down her spine at the thought of Si Jiuyin's methods. She had already experienced the punishment that came with betraying Si Jiuyin once, and now Si Jiuyin was very clever and rational.
He Qinqin had more and more questions in her mind, but she didn't plan to ask Aunt Ling directly.
Remain calm and collected, avoid alerting the enemy, and maintain a good disguise.
This principle was taught to me by Aunt Ling during her hospitalization.
Two days later, He Qinqin continued to go to work as usual. Every day, looking at the empty workstation in the corner, she felt better and better.
I heard that Fatty has taken leave to go back and take care of his mother.
Fatty knew he had no hope of improving his performance ranking, so he took leave to go back and take care of his seriously ill mother, waiting for the end of this quarter's evaluation so he could be reassigned.
Afternoon tea time.
A colleague of mine recently had some good luck and won 5,000 yuan in the lottery. He treated everyone to a meal.
"Qinqin, I bought a chocolate cake, do you want to come and eat with me?"
"Okay!" He Qinqin was looking at her phone when she heard about the chocolate cake and quickly went over. After getting the chocolate cake and placing it on her desk, she was about to start enjoying it.
"vomit--"
He Qinqin suddenly felt nauseous again, so she rushed out.
He Qinqin's commotion alerted Zhao Jiao, who was working at the next workstation.
She had noticed that He Qinqin had been gagging several times recently.
Zhao Jiao's gaze fell on the cell phone on He Qinqin's workstation desk.
She glanced around, then quietly took He Qinqin's phone.
The phone is locked.
Zhao Jiao thought for a moment, recalling in her mind when He Qinqin used to ask when Shi Yao's birthday was before she and He Qinqin had fallen out.
I guessed a string of numbers.
The sound of the phone successfully unlocking rang out.
Zhao Jiao quickly clicked into He Qinqin and Shi Yao's chat history.

The office of the chairman of the Si Group.
Special Assistant Tang Yu reported to Si Jiuyin: "President Si, we have already moved those batches of substandard materials from the construction site."
Si Jiuyin tapped her knuckles on the table: "When can we get that kid Shi Yao in?"
Tang Yu: "We haven't yet obtained sufficient evidence to get Shi Yao imprisoned. He's just a security guard, so he can be said to be completely unaware of the situation."
Si Jiuyin pressed further, "So how much money did he steal from the construction site over the years?"
"Wasn't it specially arranged for someone to handle the materials, yet a little bit was missed?"
“The amount of steel he stole from the construction site is currently less than 2,000 yuan, so he can only be fined, not detained.”
Tang Yu's face flashed with helplessness and mockery as she said this: "It's just that he's too weak. He can't move or transport a lot of steel, so he can only steal small things."
Si Jiuyin was quite helpless upon hearing this.
She thought for a moment, "I wonder when they will report our construction site. I can't wait to see them get desperate."
Just then, Tang Yu suddenly received a call from New Star TV.
After listening to the phone call, Tang Yu looked shocked: "President Si, Cheng Man from New Star TV called to say that Miss He has been fired."
"And there is a high chance they will be sued and held accountable."
"What happened?" Si Jiuyin had expected He Qinqin to not stay at New Star TV for long, but she didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.

Cheng Man's office at New Star TV Station.
He Qinqin stood helplessly in front of the desk: "Director Cheng, please let me explain. You can't conclude that I did this just because of a chat log!"
Cheng Man looked at He Qinqin with considerable disappointment.
She thought He Qinqin had reformed after his serious illness, but she didn't expect that he had only changed on the surface and his heart was still just as dirty.
"The WeChat chat records provided by Zhao Jiao clearly show how Shi Yao instructed you to delete the project files."
He Qinqin only realized she hadn't brought her phone after she finished vomiting in the bathroom.
He had simply locked his phone without thinking, so how could Zhao Jiao know his phone password?
It's unknown what else Zhao Jiao saw.
He Qinqin brought out the excuse that Aunt Ling had taught her on the spot: "These chat logs don't count. That's what Shi Yao instructed me to do, but I didn't do it!"
"The three minors were the ones who deleted the project files. There is no evidence to prove that I instructed them."
"It's possible that Shi Yao also passed this story on to his sister Shi Xin, and these three minors may have been instigated by his sister."
She paused, a pang of pain in her heart: "As you know, Shi Yao and I have already broken up. This chat log between us was just a momentary lapse of judgment on my part; once I came to my senses, I didn't dare do anything."
