"My husband gave it to me."
Song Mai didn't deliberately hide anything, and added at the end:
“Our relationship has always been good. Please don’t try to ruin it. Doing this will only make me think that you’re up to something, that you want to get us divorced so you can take my place.”
Zheng Yao was so angry that her eyes turned red, but she became even more convinced that Chu Xing's identity was extraordinary.
The person who was able to obtain the surveillance footage from the Royal View Hotel must be extremely wealthy.
Even if her plan fails, as long as it succeeds later, she can still enjoy wealth and luxury with Chu Xing.
She simply refused to believe that a man who could be attracted to Song Mai would not be attracted to her!
Thinking this way, Zheng Yao felt less frustrated, but she still refused to admit to the surveillance video.
"So what if there's surveillance video? That doesn't prove I put something terrible in the drink, nor does it prove you and that Westerner have nothing going on!"
Anyway, my phone is broken now, and the videos are gone.
She didn't believe Song Mai could do anything to her!
However, at that moment, a commotion suddenly broke out at the door.
Despite the security guards' repeated attempts to stop him, a foreign man with a large beard barged in, speaking in a foreign language that was incomprehensible.
The man only stopped when he saw Song Mai.
His arm was in a cast and his head was wrapped in bandages.
If it weren't for his prominent beard, Song Mai would hardly have recognized him.
Many of the people present were from the Spanish department, and after listening for a short while, they recognized that the bearded man was from the project team of the Western New Energy Company.
A flicker of panic crossed Zheng Yao's eyes, fearing that this person would reveal that she had contacted him privately.
But the bearded man didn't even look at her; he kept insisting on seeing the manager.
The noise was so loud that Fang Yu soon came out of the office, his face still showing great displeasure.
However, this emotion vanished the moment he looked at the bearded man, replaced by a broad smile.
What brings you here?
A young woman from the Spanish department immediately stepped forward to translate, demonstrating her keen insight.
The bearded man pointed at Song Mai, his face full of anger.
"Is this how your company treats its customers?"
Fang Yu was completely bewildered. Everything was fine when he left last night, so how did it become like this now?
According to Zheng Yao's plan, things would never have gone this way.
"I don't understand what you're saying. Is there something wrong with our hospitality? Please forgive me."
The bearded man pointed at Song Mai and accused him:
“Last night I was just joking with her, but suddenly a man rushed out and beat me up. I spent the whole day in the hospital yesterday. Shouldn’t your company give me an explanation? I trusted you and YouNeng so much that I traveled a long way to discuss cooperation. Is this how you treat me?!”
He had barely finished speaking when Fang Yu's phone rang.
When I answered the call, it was the project manager from YouNeng who called to confront me.
The talks went very smoothly last night, and we were just about to sign the contract, but overnight the other party changed their mind and refused to cooperate anymore.
All previous efforts and preparations were in vain. The project leader, unwilling to give up, demanded an explanation from the other party, but after repeated inquiries, all he received was the other party's response: "If you want to know the reason, ask the translation company."
Fang Yu was completely exasperated by the angry shouts coming from the phone.
According to Zheng Yao's previous description, the bearded man would successfully take Song Mai away.
After such an incident, Song Mai would certainly not tell anyone, and the project would proceed smoothly once the bearded man was satisfied.
At that time, the people at YouNeng will also recognize his work and speak well of him to the general manager.
Of course, Zheng Yao would thank him as promised.
But now it's clear that every step has gone wrong, and he can't very well ask in front of so many people.
Fang Yu apologized repeatedly and promised to investigate the matter thoroughly before the project manager reluctantly hung up the phone.
Fang Yu stuffed his phone into his pocket, pretending not to know anything, and frowned as he questioned Song Mai:
"What exactly happened? I asked you to stay and work, not to go and beat someone up. So where is the person who beat someone up?"
Song Mai wasn't sure what role Fang Yu was playing in all of this, nor was she sure if he even knew about it. After a moment's thought, she told him everything.
“After you left yesterday, I felt something was wrong. It seemed like someone had put something on my drink. I managed to hold out until the dinner ended and just wanted to go home as soon as possible, but he started touching me inappropriately and even tried to take me away. Luckily, my husband arrived in time, but he was so audacious as to stop him. In the heat of the moment, my husband got into a physical altercation with him. Later, after checking the surveillance footage, we found out that none of this was a coincidence, and the person who drugged my drink was also found.”
After speaking, she looked directly at Zheng Yao:
"Manager Fang, even if I'm a company employee and work is my priority, there's no reason for me to sacrifice myself for this, is there?"
Song Mai's language logic was very clear, something he had witnessed before.
Fang Yu just didn't expect that she could find all sorts of evidence.
Fang Yu glanced at Zheng Yao and then noticed that she looked panicked.
Since Zheng Yao has already discarded him after using him, there's no need for him to protect her anymore, especially since he himself is in dire straits.
Thinking this, Fang Yu cleared his throat.
"Now that the matter is almost clear, as the department manager, it's inevitable that my handling of this matter will be unfair. Since this matter has escalated so much, it's better to hand it over to the company to handle. Once it's resolved, they will naturally give an explanation."
Zheng Yao kept giving Fang Yu meaningful glances, but the man wouldn't even look at her.
After Fang Yu finished speaking, her heart sank to the bottom.
After making a scene for a while and realizing he wasn't getting anywhere, the bearded man went with Fang Yu to see the general manager.
The rest of the people returned to their workstations, but the murmurs continued throughout the morning.
Zheng Yao spent the entire day at the front desk, her heart pounding with fear.
She wanted to talk to Fang Yu, but Fang Yu hadn't come back since he went to see the general manager, and he wasn't replying to her messages. She didn't know what was going on with him.
Just before closing time, Lin Ran approached the front desk, her face grim.
"You can choose between paying me money or getting a new phone."
Zheng Yao was in no mood to talk about this.
"How much is Song Mai's crappy phone worth? So what if I broke it? Do you really expect me to buy her a new one?"
Lin Ran persisted, "You're the one who broke it, so you have to pay for it. The other person's phone was working perfectly fine no matter how old it was, but you smashed it and it's unusable now. If you're not responsible, who will?"
Zheng Yao was annoyed by what she said and didn't want to get entangled in this trivial matter any further.
He pulled five hundred yuan from his bag and threw it to Lin Ran:
"That's all. Her crappy phone isn't worth that much!"
