A moment of doubt flashed through my mind. Why did Han Zicang suddenly say this to me?
I didn't ask any further questions, but just replied obediently: "Yes, I will keep the chairman's words in mind."
I left the chairman's office, returned to my own office, called Fang Guoxu, and told him Han Zicang's decision.
Fang Guoxu was very excited when he heard that he could go back to work and would receive 10,000 yuan in compensation.
"Lan Shan, thank you so much! If you hadn't found the evidence to clear me of the theft, not only would my reputation be ruined, I'd even lose my job!"
I replied perfunctorily, "I introduced you to the company. If anything happens to you, I will also be held jointly liable. I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself."
Fang Guoxu disagreed, "I know you're saying one thing and thinking another. You're just like Feng'er, both of you sisters have sharp tongues but soft hearts. You speak coldly, but you actually have good intentions!"
He intentionally tried to bring Lan Feng and I closer by expressing his gratitude and flattery.
I just felt impatient and didn't feel like procrastinating, so I hung up the phone directly.
When I thought about how Han Zicang, a boss who was very clear about right and wrong, suddenly defended and shielded Yuan Yaxin, I didn't understand and felt more and more upset.
I walked out of the office, went to the corridor, stood at the window to get some fresh air, and couldn't help but recall Han Zicang's last words in my mind.
At this moment, I heard a familiar voice saying thank you repeatedly.
"You've helped me so much. I'll remember this favor. I'll definitely treat you to a meal when I return to the United States someday."
I listened carefully and it was Yuan Yaxin's voice.
"You must keep this a secret for me..."
Later she deliberately lowered her voice and I couldn't hear clearly what she said.
I have a vague guess that what she meant by "helped a lot" was probably what Zhu Lin accused her of.
Is Han Zicang's sudden change of attitude and his decision to protect Yuan Yaxin related to the person she is thanking behind the scenes?
Who put pressure on Han Zicang to protect Yuan Yaxin?
I was distracted and didn't notice that Yuan Yaxin had hung up the phone.
She walked up the stairs and the moment she looked up, our eyes met. I suddenly felt guilty.
Not wanting her to misunderstand that I was eavesdropping, I quickly reached out and pushed open the half-open window, pretending that I had just come out for some fresh air and knew nothing about anything.
There was no panic in Yuan Yaxin's eyes. She just glanced at me and said sarcastically, "You're sneaky and you only know how to play tricks!"
She approached me, a look of disdain in her eyes, and said smugly, "Do you think you can defeat me with just these few tricks? That's childish! It feels bad to be rejected, right? If you want to target me next time, you'd better think about your own strength first!"
I frowned slightly and was about to say something sarcastic to her to put an end to her arrogance.
My stomach churned, and a strong feeling of nausea rushed straight to my throat.
I pushed her away and rushed into the bathroom, vomiting all over the place.
The pain was slightly relieved only after the stomach was emptied.
I leaned my hands on the sink, rinsed my mouth, wiped it with a tissue, and looked at myself in the mirror with red eyes. I looked a little embarrassed.
It seems that I haven't had enough rest recently, and even my stomach and intestines are protesting.
I slowly exhaled and stayed in the bathroom for a while. After the discomfort passed, I walked out of the bathroom.
Yuan Yaxin had already returned to the sales department by this time, and I was too lazy to argue with her, so I went back to the office to continue working.
In the afternoon, the company officially issued Zhu Lin's dismissal notice, and also clarified Fang Guoxu's theft, accusing Zhu Lin of malicious frame-up.
