Chapter 391: Joke
Liu Yiyi stood there, her face full of anxiety. She wished that time could go back and that everything that had just happened would not happen again.
No, if she had known that Zhong Nian Yao was the third daughter of the Zhong family, she should not have appeared here today.
Zhong Nianyao was still sitting there, her hands resting on the armrests of the chair. She looked lazy and casual, but the aura she exuded was unyielding.
"How's it going?" She looked up at the awkwardly sitting Liu Yiyi, a half-smile on her face. "Ms. Liu, the security guys are here now. How are you going to punish me? Didn't you just say you had plenty of ways to prove I was a corporate spy?"
"I...I..." Liu Yiyi stammered and couldn't say anything.
"What happened?"
Just when the atmosphere in the reception room was weird, a cold voice sounded, and then several people walked in.
The person who came was none other than Zhong Jinghao. He knew that Zhong Nianyao was coming to the company today, and he had specially sent a secretary to accompany Zhong Nianyao, fearing that something might happen. Now it seems that he was very foresighted, and now something bad has happened!
Almost at the same time as Zhong Jinghao, a man in his fifties, dressed in a suit, hurried over. Behind him was Liu Yiling.
The person who came was Liu Hao, the biological father of Liu Yiyi and Liu Yiling, and the head of Zhong’s jewelry business department.
Although Liu Hao didn't know what had happened, he could tell that Liu Yiyi had caused quite a stir this time. Seeing General Manager Zhong Jinghao present made him even more nervous.
Zhong Nianyao still didn't stand up. She just turned around slightly, tilted her head and smiled, "Oh, everyone is here! Is the show about to begin?"
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's nonchalant expression, Zhong Jinghao felt a headache coming on. He shook his head helplessly, then looked at the security captain, "Captain Wu, what's going on? Tell me!"
Captain Wu, who was shot even while lying down, was truly in tears. This incident had nothing to do with him, but now he felt like he was being used as cannon fodder.
After pondering for a moment, he briefly explained the situation, avoiding the main points. "General Manager, I'm actually not entirely sure what's going on. Our security team received a notification that there's a corporate spy here, so I brought people here."
"Commercial espionage?" Zhong Jinghao frowned, then looked at Zhong Nianyao who was watching the show on the side and said directly, "Tell me! What is going on?"
Liu Hao, standing nearby, was sweating profusely. Although he had only just arrived, he had already guessed what was going on after hearing what Liu Yiling had just said. He really wanted to go up and slap Liu Yiyi in the face to wake her up.
In the past, because of his guilt and Liu Yiyi's sweet talk, he doted on his daughter. Liu Yiyi had caused a lot of troubles, and he had always tried to make things right for her. Unexpectedly, Liu Yiyi was so bold now that she directly accused Zhong Nianyao of being a commercial spy.
Isn't this stupid or a joke?
Who knew that Zhong Nianyao was the third daughter of the Zhong family and one of the company's major shareholders, holding 15% of the shares? Liu Yiyi must be crazy! How could she wrongly accuse Zhong Nianyao of being a commercial spy?
"That's something you'll have to ask Miss Liu." Zhong Nianyao pointed directly at Liu Yiyi and continued, "I didn't do anything. I was just playing with my phone here, and yet I was inexplicably accused of being a spy. I'm completely confused."
"However, I think that Miss Liu, my accuser, must have a keen eye and see some details that we can't see! Oh, yes, there's more!"
Zhong Nianyao's gaze fell directly on Liu Yiyi. "Also, she just swore that this is her territory and she would definitely be able to make me a commercial spy."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Zhong Jinghao's face immediately darkened, and his sharp eyes fell on Liu Hao, as if he wanted to find a hole in Liu Hao's body.
Liu Yiyi's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but she didn't know what to say.
Liu Haoqiang suppressed his inner uneasiness, took a step forward, and forced a smile. "What happened today must have been a misunderstanding. How could the Third Miss be a corporate spy? Yiyi must be joking, right?"
Liu Yiyi received Liu Hao's hint and could only nod reluctantly, "Yes, I was just joking."
After she finished speaking, she turned to face Zhong Nianyao, bowed directly, and said sincerely, "Miss Zhong, I'm sorry. I was too reckless just now. I apologize to you here. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me."
Even though she felt extremely humiliated, she could only bow down to Zhong Nian Yao.
"Forgive me?" Zhong Nianyao held her chin with one hand, looking at Liu Yiyi, who was still bent over in front of her. Her expression was still lazy. "You don't even know your own mistakes, and now you come to apologize to me and ask for my forgiveness. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"Third Miss..." Liu Hao opened his mouth to interrupt, but was interrupted by Zhong Nian Yao.
"Director Liu, I think that although Miss Liu is your daughter, she is no longer a three-year-old child. I don't need you to defend her!" Zhong Nianyao glanced at Liu Hao indifferently, "Or do you think that we all look like fools and can be fooled by you?"
Although it was just a quick glance, Liu Hao suddenly froze, as if he couldn't muster any resistance in front of Zhong Nian Yao.
"Ms. Liu, please tell me now." Zhong Nianyao turned her head and looked at Liu Yiyi. "Were you really just joking just now? You think that casually slandering someone as a commercial spy is just a joke. Then can I also say that you are a commercial spy now, and then after investigating, tell you that it was just a joke?"
The repeated questions left Liu Yiyi unable to utter any rebuttal. She opened her mouth and wanted to defend herself, but she couldn't utter a word.
