Fang Yu watched Song Mai's departing figure, slammed his fist on the conference table, and said viciously:
"Of course it won't be anyone else. How could the company feel comfortable creating such a position after something like this?"
After this incident, the company will only trust him more and more.
Thinking this, Fang Yu's lips slowly curled up, revealing a smug smile of having achieved his goal.
Song Mai went to Li Yan's office to try again, but was stopped by his assistant as soon as she arrived at the door, who said that Li Yan had instructed him not to see Song Mai.
Song Mai waited outside his office for a long time but didn't see him. She then went to the chairman, but was told that the company's senior management had unanimously agreed to blacklist her.
She betrayed the company, and the vice president and board members in power were furious. No matter who she went to, they all avoided her.
After a busy day with no results, Song Mai returned to her office feeling helpless.
A termination notice was placed on her desk in her office, ordering her to pack up all her belongings, hand over her work, and leave the company before the end of the day.
Lin Ran was extremely anxious when she finally saw her return, and quickly grabbed her and asked:
"Maizi, what exactly happened? Didn't you go to a meeting? How could you be fired out of the blue? Everyone's talking about it now. The company email said you betrayed the company, sold project data to Kexin, causing the company to lose the project and suffer a huge loss of money. Tell me quickly, what exactly happened? Is someone deliberately framing you?"
She was extremely anxious. She had heard Zheng Yao's story that morning and felt that Zheng Yao was definitely trying to smear her. So she had a big argument with Zheng Yao and told everyone that Song Mai could not possibly do such a thing, and told them not to listen to Song Mai's nonsense.
But Song Mai hadn't returned, and she felt uneasy until everyone received an email from the company that afternoon.
The email stated that Song Mai should be fired and blacklisted in the industry, and the reason for the blacklist was exactly the same as what Zheng Yao had said.
But how is that possible?
Others may not understand Song Mai, but Lin Ran understands her better than anyone else.
Song Mai would never do such a thing.
So she immediately suspected that Zheng Yao was behind it; otherwise, how would Zheng Yao know about this before the company even sent an email?
She grabbed Song Mai's sleeve, her eyes filled with anger.
"It must be Zheng Yao who did this, I'm going to find her right now!"
Song Mai gave a wry smile and called out to her.
"Ranran, it's no need. I've done all I can. There's no way to undo it now."
She slowly closed her eyes, her gaze filled with pain.
Lin Ran was extremely unwilling:
"Are you just going to let Zheng Yao frame you? You've worked for the company for so many years and given so much. Now, because of her underhanded methods, you've not only been fired from the company, but also blacklisted by the entire industry. What are you going to do now?"
Thinking of this, Lin Ran was so angry that she wanted to tear Zheng Yao to pieces.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Yao walked over arrogantly.
Seeing Song Mai's pale face, she became even more smug.
"This is what happens when you betray the company. What, you're not happy about it? Well, there's nothing you can do about it. After all, it's the company's decision. As far as I know, it seems that none of the company's higher-ups want to see you right now. You'd better leave quickly."
Lin Ran was furious at her despicable face and slapped her across the face.
Zheng Yao covered her face, her expression one of utter disbelief.
"Lin Ran, are you crazy? You dare hit me!"
Lin Ran put her hands on her hips, wishing she could slap her again.
"Hit you? Hitting you is too lenient. Whether Mai Zi betrayed the company or not, others may not know, but you should know very well. You've been playing dirty tricks behind people's backs. You may be smug for a while, but you won't be smug forever. You'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!"
Zheng Yao was furious and tried to pounce on Lin Ran, but the onlookers stepped forward to break up the fight and quickly pulled her and Lin Ran apart.
After quickly packing her things and handing over her work, Song Mai prepared to leave.
When Lin Ran got off work, she happened to run into her after she finished her paperwork and came out of the HR office. The two of them went to a nearby coffee shop and sat for a while.
Seeing Song Mai's silent demeanor, Lin Ran couldn't help but worry.
Have you thought it through? What will you do next?
Song Mai was somewhat lost in thought. Hearing this, she snapped out of it, looking a little dazed. After a long while, she shook her head.
"I haven't decided yet."
After all, she never imagined that she would leave the company in this way, let alone that Zheng Yao and Fang Yu would be so ruthless this time.
Ultimately, she underestimated the wickedness of human nature.
Lin Ran couldn't think of a solution for a while, and she didn't know what Song Mai should do next.
After all, for such a highly specialized profession, being blacklisted within the industry would be a devastating blow to the practitioners.
What else could she possibly do?
Song Mai has been working as a translator for so many years and has no other work experience, so it will definitely be difficult for her to find another job.
Moreover, given her past experience of being blacklisted by the industry for betraying her company, even non-translation companies would probably be unwilling to hire her.
Lin Ran gripped Song Mai's hand tightly:
“Mai Zi, don’t be sad. Gold shines wherever it is. You’re so talented. Even if you don’t work in translation, you can do any other job well. Just take this time to rest. Your injuries haven’t healed yet, so why not rest at home for a while? It’s not too late to find a job again once you’re fully recovered. Don’t worry, I’m still at the company. I won’t let Fang Yu and Zheng Yao get away with this. I’ll keep an eye on them. If I get even the slightest bit of dirt on them, I’ll definitely report it to the chairman!”
She spoke through gritted teeth, standing up for Song Mai.
The more she acted this way, the more Song Mai felt like crying; her eyes stung, and her heart ached.
Song Mai shook her head: "No, my career is already ruined. You need to take good care of yourself. Don't do anything foolish for my sake, and don't actively make enemies with Fang Yu and the others. They are very cunning. You are isolated and helpless in the company and you can't fight them. Don't let my situation affect you."
Song Mai grasped her hand, her voice trembling slightly, carrying a hint of suppressed sobs:
"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. If this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will."
The more she acted this way, the more Lin Ran felt sorry for her, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
Lin Ran couldn't understand why, even though Song Mai had tried so hard to live, these misfortunes still befell her.
The two chatted for a while longer, until Song Mai seemed much more composed, at which point Lin Ran felt a little relieved and let her leave.
