Chapter 125 Expulsion List

Real thief

"Special Assistant Chen."

Chi Dong didn't know what he asked him to do, but he pretended to raise his eyes and looked around casually. He saw that his colleagues seemed to be busy with their own work, their fingers clacking on the keyboards, and the documents and papers rustling as they were flipping through the pages.

But if you look closely, you can find that the tips of their ears are slightly raised, and their attention is clearly attracted by the conversation between him and Chen Lian.

At this moment, Lin An'an, who had just walked out of Liu Ke's office, saw Chen Lian coming to find Chi Dong. He was suddenly startled and a trace of panic flashed across his eyes.

Chi Dong happened to be looking at other people, so he didn't see his loss of composure. However, Chen Lian, who had a vision of 5.2, saw it clearly, but he didn't show it on the surface, but kept it in mind, and then asked Chi Dong to go to the door of the conference room instead of going to the tea room, because there were too many people and too many eyes.

Lin An'an looked at the two people's backs as they left, his eyebrows tightly knitted together, and he fell into deep thought.

In the conference room, Chen Lian was wearing a pair of exquisite metal-framed glasses, which reflected a faint cold light under the incandescent light of the conference room: "Take a seat first."

Chi Dong looked around hesitantly and finally chose to sit opposite him.

“This is the compensation the company gives you.”

After Chi Dong sat down, Chen Lian opened the bag, took out a beautifully wrapped gift box, and gently placed it on the table.

Chi Dong looked at the box in some confusion, stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Compensation? What...compensation?"

Chen Lian smiled and said, "Your lost items cannot be announced to the public for the time being, so the company decided to give you some compensation. You can open the box and take a look."

Hearing this, Chi Dong's originally gentle expression suddenly turned cold, "Why? Does the company want to protect them? Do you think that giving me some compensation can shut me up?"

"No, don't think that way." Chen Lian knew he had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "This matter involves a wide range of issues, and we have to wait for President Bu to come back before we can deal with it. The things in this box are a small compensation from the company, so don't think too much about it."

“……” Seeing that Chen Lian didn’t look like he was lying, Chi Dong’s wildly beating heart instantly calmed down a lot, and his stiff shoulders couldn’t help but relax.

"Senior, uh, no, when will Mr. Bu come back?"

Chen Lian: “Three days later.”

Three days was exactly the deadline Liu Ke gave him.

Chi Dong: "But Manager Liu..."

Chen Lian smiled calmly: "Don't worry about this, I will explain it to her."

Chi Dong nodded: "Okay, I understand."

"By the way, I suggest you accept the things in the box." Chen Lian looked at the watch on his wrist, pursed his lips slightly, and a hint of urgency appeared on his calm face.

He coughed lightly, "I still have something to do, you..."

Chi Dong quickly responded, "Okay, you go ahead."

After Chen Lian left, Chi Dong sat alone, his thoughts drifting to an unknown place. There was silence all around, only the clock hanging on the wall was still ticking mechanically.

At this moment, there were suddenly several chaotic footsteps outside the door. He came back to his senses suddenly, and looked carefully. There seemed to be a trace of trance in his eyes.

While the person outside the door had not come in yet, Chi Dong quickly stood up and walked out from the side door.

Before leaving, his eyes suddenly swept over the exquisite box on the table. Hearing the footsteps getting closer, he no longer hesitated, quickly put the box in his pocket, and quickly left the meeting room.

As soon as he left, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

"Hey, was there someone here just now?"

"No, I don't see anyone."

"Oh, maybe I'm seeing things."

…………

After returning to his seat and staying there for a long time, Chi Dong suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not replied to his senior's message yet! His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his palms were slightly sweaty. Then he took out his mobile phone to delete and revise, and finally wrote for five minutes before sending what he wanted to say.

[Dong]: Yeah, I'll listen to you, senior. I heard from Special Assistant Chen that you will be back the day after tomorrow, right?

After sending the message, Chi Dong worked absent-mindedly, glancing at his phone from time to time. Three hours passed, the work was done, but there was still no reply.

Chi Dong couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, his eyes dimmed, and a sour feeling of frustration slowly rose from the bottom of his heart. His heart, which had just been burning with anticipation, now felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on it, chilling it completely.

That's right, the senior is so busy, how could he stare at his phone all the time? Besides, he is not an important person.

At most, he was just a junior who he had met a few times and had communicated with a few times. How could he be so ignorant of himself and think that Bu Qianli would definitely reply to him?

Chi Dong put down his phone silently, sighed lightly with a somewhat depressed mood, and his eyes inadvertently swept across the box on the table.

The box in front of me was quietly placed on a corner of the table, exuding an aura that could not be ignored, giving people a sense of nobility.

Chi Dong stared at the box for a few seconds, frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Why does this box look so... familiar?

Chi Dong involuntarily stopped opening the box, leaned forward slightly, and stared at the box without blinking. He looked at it again and again but couldn't figure out what was inside.

He suddenly remembered what Special Assistant Chen said in the conference room. He reached out his hand, pulled lightly, and the box made a slight "click" sound.

"Huh? PHONAK's hearing aid?"

Chi Dong opened his mouth slightly and looked at the things in the box in shock. Isn't this the most stable hearing aid on the market?

The price is comparable to his original one. Although it is not tailored to personal data, its effect is the same as the tailor-made one, or even better. In particular, it is suitable for a wide range of people and has a long maintenance period, which is completely worth the price.

Since the original one disappeared, he had already prepared himself in his heart that he would never find it again. He had originally thought about going to the hospital to get another one, but after checking online, he found that the price was not something he could afford at the moment, so he gave up this unrealistic idea.

Chi Dong hesitated for a moment before reaching out to pick it up and try it on. To be honest, the effect of wearing it was indeed many times better than what he was wearing now.

However, Chi Dong did not change it in the end. Instead, he took it off, put it in the box, and put it away safely.

Time flies, and three days passed quickly. During these three days, Chi Dong never received a reply from Bu Qianli, and the chat records between the two of them always stopped at three days ago.

He seemed not to care on the surface, but he kept looking at his phone again and again, watching the screen light up and dim nervously, which made it clear at a glance that he cared a lot.

Today is the third day. Chi Dong came to the company early in the morning and happened to meet Liu Ke on the first floor. She was walking with Lin An'an, talking and laughing. She didn't look at all like the iron-faced and selfless person that outsiders said.

Watching them take the same elevator upstairs one after another, Chidong paused, then turned around and walked towards the next elevator.

The elevator door slowly slid open to the sides, and just as he took a step out, he heard an urgent shout from the front.

He paused, looked up, and saw Jiang Yuzhou running over and said hurriedly, "Chidong, Manager Liu is looking for you. She wants you to go to her office right now."

Chi Dong was slightly startled, and a barely perceptible doubt flashed across his face. "Manager Liu wants to see me? Oh, OK, I'll go over now."

Jiang Yuzhou took a quick look around and after making sure no one was paying attention, he leaned slightly to the side, put his head closer, and whispered in a low voice, "You have to keep an eye on Lin An'an."

Chi Dong nodded, lowered his eyes to hide the expression in his eyes, and whispered: "Okay, I understand, thank you for the reminder."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the manager's office. Chi Dong walked up to the door and knocked lightly. Not long after, a faint voice came from inside.

"Come in."

He pushed the door open and walked in. Besides Liu Ke, there were two other people inside. Chi Dong was not surprised by the appearance of these two people. Instead, he would have been surprised if they had not appeared.

"Manager Liu."

When he entered the room, Chi Dong noticed that Liu Ke was chatting with them. Although her expression was not very happy, it was gentle.

"Well, everyone, take a seat."

Liu Ke looked him up and down, with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes, "It's like this, last time I promised to give you three days to investigate the matter between you and Cheng Xuan, and today happens to be the third day. I called you here to learn about the status of the investigation."

Chi Dong could hear the hidden meaning in Liu Ke's words. She meant for him to produce evidence as soon as possible. If he didn't have any evidence, he should go back to work and stop causing trouble in the company.

"I've got the surveillance video."

After hearing this, Liu Ke couldn't help but frown, with an unclear expression on her face. She glanced inadvertently at the two people standing next to her, and her tone suddenly became cold.

"Oh? You have surveillance video?"

Chi Dong said firmly: "Yes."

Liu Ke: "Then take it out and let me see it."

Chi Dong: "Sorry, I can't give you the video now."

Hearing this, Liu Ke's frown relaxed a lot. Before she could say anything, Cheng Xuan, who was watching the excitement, sneered at Chi Dong loudly, "Oh my God, this is the first time I see someone who can frame others so righteously. It really opens my eyes."

"Cheng Xuan!" Liu Ke stopped her in a sharp voice. Seeing her retreat and stand behind him obediently, he asked slowly, "Why can't you show me the video yet?"

"…I'm sorry, there are too many issues involved, and the video cannot be disseminated to the public for the time being." Chi Dong explained according to the method Chen Lian taught him, "But I admit that I did misunderstand you, Sister Xuan, so I solemnly apologize to you here. I'm sorry."

Cheng Xuan was spoiled by her family and had a smooth life, which made her unforgiving. At this time, Chi Dong stood in front of her and apologized humbly. In her opinion, this apology was what she deserved.

However, the other person standing in the corner was unusually silent today. He did not say a word from beginning to end, and it seemed as if he had accepted the apology.

"Is an apology enough? If an apology is useful, then why do we need the police?"

"So what do you want me to do?"

"Go out and tell everyone that you maliciously framed me and ruined my reputation, and you have to compensate me for my mental damages. I don't ask for much, just thirty thousand." Cheng Xuan raised her head proudly and looked at Chi Dong with obvious malice in her eyes.

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Chi Dong's expression change drastically, but even Liu Ke couldn't help but frown, her face darkened a little, and a look of displeasure jumped across her face.

Seeing that Cheng Xuan wanted to continue talking and was getting more and more aggressive, Liu Ke quickly took over the topic: "Lin An'an, take Cheng Xuan out first. I want to talk to Chi Dong alone."

Lin An'an: "Yes, manager." After saying that, regardless of Cheng Xuan's objection, he forcibly dragged her out and closed the door to block the curious eyes from outside the door.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment. Neither Chi Dong nor Liu Ke spoke. One of them lowered his head, looking somewhere unknown, while the other frowned and looked at the flashing screen of his mobile phone.

Watching the time pass by, Liu Ke finally felt that there was no point in waiting any longer.

"They are out now. Can you explain to me why you don't give me the video?"

Chi Dong recalled the scene of Liu Ke and Lin An'an together, and his desire to explain the cause of the incident suddenly stopped. "I'm sorry, manager. Although I can't show you the video, I promise that I will handle this matter properly today and give you and the company a satisfactory explanation."

"...Okay, I'll wait for you today, but you have to know the consequences." Liu Ke didn't know what he was doing. Although she was impatient, she finally agreed to him because of her status as a leader.

"Go out."

"Yes, Manager Liu."

After Chi Dong pushed the door open and left, everyone in the company, including the interns, received a notice. The notice was extremely simple, directly naming someone in the company who abused his power to satisfy his personal desires through recruitment and other channels.

There was also a list attached to the notice. Before Chi Dong had time to take a closer look, Jiang Yuzhou, who had appeared beside him out of nowhere, patted him on the shoulder.

"Late winter."

Chi Dong was stunned for a moment: "It's you!"

Jiang Yuzhou said as if it was a matter of course: "Of course it's me, who else do you think it could be?"

"Yeah, except you, no one else here is willing to talk to me." After being targeted for a long time, Chi Dong has become accustomed to no one paying attention to him in the company, so he was so surprised when someone suddenly talked to him.

"Don't think like that. If it weren't for those people, you wouldn't have..." Jiang Yuzhou suddenly remembered something, and he jumped up excitedly, saying excitedly, "By the way, did you see the message from the company? There's a big surprise in it!"

"I saw it, but I haven't finished it yet." Seeing his gloating expression, Chi Dong couldn't help but ask curiously, "What surprise?"

Jiang Yuzhou had a mysterious smile on his face, and his eyes were still gleaming with excitement. He deliberately moved closer and half covered his mouth with his hand. It seemed that he was trying to cover it up, but in fact his voice was not small at all. "Look for yourself. If I tell you, there will be no surprise."
