Chapter 114



"Then how do you explain all this?"

Cheng Man showed Shi Xin her chat history, saying, "I've communicated with Shi Xin and told her that we don't have time to edit the footage right now, so we'll broadcast her footage first, because the Food Safety Bureau is also paying special attention to this."

"Furthermore, we suspect that she hired someone to delete the videos. We will also broadcast the deletion of footage from the station as news material, changing the direction of our discussion to address the hot topic of juvenile delinquency."

Cheng Man raised an eyebrow: "She immediately changed her story and said that everything was your arrangement, that she knew nothing about it, that she only complained a few times at the dinner party, and that she did not expect you to do this."

"Moreover, she provided crucial evidence that these three high school students frequently used the internet at the internet cafe owned by Shi Yao."

"He Qinqin, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Impossible! How could Xinxin say that!"

He Qinqin's eyes widened; she couldn't believe that Shi Xin had betrayed her.

I didn't tell Shi Xin about my plans; I only discussed them with Aunt Shi Yaoling. How could Xin Xin know about my actions?

He Qinqin became irritated.

Cheng Man in front of him had already made the final decision:

“We don’t tolerate bad news. Someone like you who uses such despicable methods doesn’t deserve to be a reporter. He Qinqin, you’re fired.”

"Regarding the subsequent losses caused to our station by this incident, we will also ask Fatty to hire a lawyer to hold you accountable."

He Qin opened her eyes wide with admiration. She wanted to argue, but she had no mind to do so.

She still couldn't quite believe that Shi Xin had betrayed her.

Because this means that Shi Yao...

He Qinqin left the office dejectedly, her mind in turmoil as she packed her things.

Suddenly she stopped. If Si Jiuyin knew that she had been fired for doing this much for Shi Yao’s sister, wouldn’t all her hard work in the Si family over the past half month have been for nothing?

How can I gain Si Jiuyin's trust?

Just then, He Qinqin received a call from Si Jin, "Qinqin, are you free after get off work? I'll pick you up and take you out for dinner."

Hearing Si Jin's gentle voice, He Qinqin felt a lump in her throat. She hadn't known how to cherish him before, but now she understood how good her brother was.

She exhaled a breath of stale air and said, "Brother, please come pick me up early today. I'm getting off work especially early."

He Qinqin returned to her workstation and began tidying up her belongings.

When He Qinqin's colleagues saw her packing her things, they were all surprised. Had He Qinqin been fired or transferred?

Logically, this shouldn't be the case. Si Jiuyin is currently ranked third from the bottom in performance, so she shouldn't be eligible for a job transfer.

Everyone remembered what the director said when the police came to investigate the day before yesterday: "If it was done by an internal colleague, don't blame me for not showing any mercy."

"No way, could it be that He Qinqin was the one who instigated those three high school students?"

"Now that you mention it, he really does have a criminal motive. He's third to last, and Fatty is second to last. As long as Fatty can't turn things around, she won't be transferred."

"So yesterday she pretended to defend Li Han?"

"Wait a minute, so He Qinqin's well-behaved behavior these past few days was all an act? Oh my god, that's terrifying!"

...

He Qinqin listened to everyone's whispers, her face showing a stubborn and aggrieved expression: "That's not how it is. Please don't discuss it before the announcement is released, thank you."

Everyone fell silent.

Previously, the Si Group was embroiled in a plagiarism scandal and Li Han was framed. Later, the situation reversed, so everyone became more cautious in their words and actions. Now, after hearing He Qinqin's words, they stopped talking nonsense.

He Qinqin packed her things, found a place to store them near the company, and then waited for Si Jin at the bottom of the company building.

"Brother~"

He Qinqin called Si Jin in a coquettish tone.

Si Jin was momentarily dazed when He Qinqin called him so affectionately, as if he had returned to the past. After regaining his senses, he opened the car door for He Qinqin: "What's wrong? Did something unpleasant happen at work today?"

"Mmm, but I feel much better after seeing my brother." He Qinqin's words were too sweet.

Si Jin smiled when he heard He Qinqin's words; it was a smile in his eyes that quickly turned into a deeper meaning.

After He Qinqin got into the car, Si Jin started the engine.

Si Jin glanced at He Qinqin in the rearview mirror. While waiting at a red light, he handed her the things from the passenger seat. "Qinqin, are you hungry? Have some afternoon tea first."

"You have low blood sugar, eat more sweets."

He Qinqin took the tote bag from Si Jin and discovered that the packaging was an insulated bag from her favorite dessert shop.

He Qinqin was stunned for a moment. She opened the insulated bag, which was full of her favorite foods: Black Forest cake, chocolate mousse...

A dazzling array of desserts came into view, and He Qinqin's unhappiness about being fired was healed by these adorable little treats.

Before she ran away from the Si family, Si Jin would bring He Qinqin desserts from this dessert shop every time he picked her up from get off work. He Qinqin took it for granted at the time and would sometimes even find fault with the desserts.

Today, she was more touched than ever before when she received dessert.

How long has it been since I last ate anything from this dessert shop since I ran away from the Si family?

He Qinqin used a fork to skewer a spoonful of caramel pudding and put it in her mouth; the caramelized and sweet flavor melted in her mouth.

For the first time, He Qinqin realized how fortunate she was to have such a brother.

She never wanted to leave the Si family again.

But now that I've been fired, what if the truth comes out sooner or later?

He Qinqin ate silently, her mind filled with many thoughts.

While He Qinqin was eating dessert, Si Jin received a phone call, then turned to He Qinqin and said:

"Qinqin, I just received a last-minute notice from the company that I need to go to Kashima Electric, so I'll have to postpone dinner."

"I'm fine, brother. Company matters are more important." He Qinqin's words this time were somewhat sincere: "Besides, you bought me so many desserts, I'm already stuffed."

Si Jin smiled upon hearing He Qinqin's words and drove the car to the underground parking lot of the building where Kashima Electric was located without saying anything.

Si Jin led He Qinqin up to the floor where Kashima Electric Appliances was located.

Si Jin sat in his office, staring at his computer screen, while He Qinqin sat on the sofa flipping through magazines.

Looking at the fashion magazine in her hand, He Qinqin wondered how long it had been since she had such leisure time after get off work.

When I lived at the Shi family's house, I would be cooking and cleaning at this time.

Just as He Qinqin was carefully examining the latest handbags in the magazine, she suddenly looked up at Si Jin and said something.

"Qinqin, my assistant just called and said that Kashima has released three new small home appliances, which are already on display in conference room number 1."

"You've now been officially appointed as our company's Product Experience Officer. Let's go to Conference Room One now."

“Your last evaluation report was very professional. This time, I would like you to conduct an on-the-spot evaluation, give some pointers to our company’s three new evaluation officers, and share your insights with them.”
