Chapter 10 Scheming and Spoiled Stepsister VS Cold Childhood Sweetheart Brother 10
Manager Wang explained the investigation findings and the disciplinary actions taken against Li Yun and Supervisor Li in front of the planning department staff.
Both of them were immediately dismissed.
"I'm just giving a brief explanation now; the company will release a detailed statement tomorrow. Everyone has worked hard today, so let's all go home now."
"Tsk tsk, I wonder who was so smug before, it turns out they were just using underhanded methods."
Xu Qingran launched a powerful attack.
Knowing everything behind this, she'll definitely teach Li Yun a lesson in person.
Although Li Yun was in the wrong, she didn't care since she had already been fired.
From the moment she was called in for questioning, she guessed things might not be going well.
She just didn't expect the punishment to come so quickly and so severely; even the department head was fired.
"You're so much better than me. You got in through connections, didn't you? Let's see if you can stay here any longer."
Xu Qingran wasn't afraid of her: "Don't worry, even if I can't stay here, I won't do such a thing."
"So what if I got in through connections? If you're so capable, why don't you come and invest in the company yourself?"
"Shut up!" Li Yun gritted her teeth.
"Are you getting angry out of embarrassment?" Xu Qingran said sarcastically.
"Alright, stop arguing. Now that the matter has been investigated and clarified, let's leave it at that."
Manager Wang stepped in and stopped the chaotic scene.
"You are not allowed to discuss this matter again."
"Xiao Xu, please stay for a moment. Come to my office; I have something to say to you."
Having overheard their conversation and with the superiors having sent someone to "give guidance" earlier, what else could Manager Wang not understand?
These two young ladies who came to experience life here are not to be offended, but they also cannot be allowed to affect others. This is really a difficult situation.
A high-ranking official said that Xu Qingran and Jiang Zhiyi's names must be on the list of those to be promoted, but the favoritism cannot be too obvious.
Manager Wang felt a headache coming on when he looked at Xu Qingran. Why did so many difficult young ladies come along?
Going to work is so tiring.
"Xiao Xu, you know your own performance. I hope you can take this seriously, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone. I need to explain to my superiors, and I also have to be responsible to my other colleagues."
Xu Qingran nodded in understanding, and Manager Wang simply said it directly, not intending to beat around the bush with her.
"I know you and Jiang Zhiyi are definitely going to stay, so from now on, you two need to work hard and I will supervise you the whole time."
“Okay, I understand,” Xu Qingran replied.
However, Xu Qingran had some doubts. Although her family did have shares here, and she herself had been arranged to come here in the first place.
But her family had told her back then that she should find a way to get through the internship period herself.
I didn't expect them to actually find a way to get involved, and so quietly at that?
Something's not right; this isn't like them at all.
Is someone else involved?
She thought of Fu Xunzhou's name.
But upon closer reflection, that's even more unlikely to happen.
She had often heard her family talk about Fu Xunzhou's business practices.
Did he ask him to give Zhizhi a favor, and also to use his connections to get her a favor?
I never even dared to dream of it.
"Never mind, if they don't mention it, I'll just pretend I don't know," Xu Qingran thought to herself.
...
Huajingyuan.
When Fu Xunzhou arrived, Fu Chengzhao and several members of the Ji family were already seated.
“Xunzhou, come and sit down. This is your Uncle Ji Zhong’s daughter, Ji Ning. You haven’t met her yet, have you?” Fu Chengzhao said with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Ji Ning." Ji Ning smiled at Fu Xunzhou and greeted him politely.
"Hello, Ms. Ji. I am Fu Xunzhou." A polite reply.
"Get to know each other better, so you won't be so formal when you meet in the future," Ji Zhong said, trying to build a closer relationship between them.
“Xiao Ning, you’ve just arrived in City A. If you encounter any difficulties or problems in the future, you can always ask Xun Zhou for help. Please don’t be shy.” Fu Chengzhao readily chimed in.
The implication of the two acting as matchmakers is quite clear.
"I will, then thank you in advance, Uncle Fu and... Xunzhou."
Ji Ning didn't feel awkward and readily agreed.
“I’ve handed over that Jihe project to Xiao Ning. I’ll need Xun Zhou to help out a lot, though they’re all partners, there aren’t many I can truly trust,” Ji Zhong said.
"That's natural, and this project is also our top priority this year."
After finishing their meal, the group left the table one by one.
However, today's activities are clearly not over yet.
Fu Chengzhao and Ji Zhong arranged to have tea at another venue, hoping to create an opportunity for the two young people to be alone together.
“Xunzhou, Xiaoning has just arrived in City A. Why don’t you take her out for a walk and let her get used to the environment?”
"No need, Uncle Fu, why don't I just stay with you?"
"No need, no need. We two old men are just having tea. What are you young people doing here? You should go play some ball or go shopping or something."
Fu Chengzhao shook his head in refusal, then said to Fu Xunzhou, "Xunzhou, we're leaving now. Take good care of Xiaoning."
After saying that, he left with Ji Zhong.
The two stood in the corridor, speechless for a moment.
"Miss Ji, where do you want to go?"
Fu Xunzhou asked, his tone full of distant politeness.
"Uncle Fu said we should go out and explore. What's fun to do in City A? I'm new here and don't really know," Ji Ning replied.
Fu Xunzhou glanced at his watch: "I'm sorry, Miss Ji. I have some official business to attend to later. I'll have my secretary accompany you. This time, I haven't taken good care of you."
At the other end of the corridor, Xu Qingran and her brother Xu Qingrang were having their meal.
As soon as I stepped out of the private room, I saw Fu Xunzhou standing face to face with a woman, talking and seemingly enjoying each other's company.
This was serious. She immediately hid in a corner, took out her phone, and sent several messages to Jiang Zhiyi in a flash.
【Ah! Urgent!】
【Zhizhi, I'm at Huajingyuan right now!!】
[Your Fu Xunzhou is having an affair with another woman!!!]
