It was pitch black, with an occasional boat passing by, so small that it didn't even cause a ripple.
The door opened and Zhu Lingling walked in, holding a tray with dinner on it: "Miss, it's time for dinner!"
Lan Xi had no appetite and was about to frown and refuse when Zhu Lingling said, "Radish and pork rib soup is good for the stomach, so drink less!"
Lan Xi didn't say anything. She turned her head and continued to look out the window. She put the cigarette to her lips and took a puff. The lit cigarette burned upwards, making a barely perceptible sizzling sound.
The irritable mood seemed to calm down a little. Lan Xi looked at her own reflection in the window. It was dark, distorted, and without any light. Only the red light of the cigarette butt swayed with Lan Xi's movements.
After all, she didn't eat much. She just scooped two mouthfuls with a spoon and put them into her mouth. Then she went back to the bedroom to change her clothes to make it easier for her to move later.
They got in the car and arrived at the port. Lan Xi had asked Zhu Lingling to buy a warehouse in her name for the import and export trade here, but it had never been used.
Taking out the key, Zhu Lingling opened the warehouse door. It was pitch black inside. Lan Xi frowned. The next second, a warm yellow light came on. A person fell in the middle of the warehouse, seemingly fainted.
After Lan Xi walked in, Zhu Lingling glanced cautiously outside the door and then closed it quietly.
Standing in front of the man, Lan Xi looked at him disdainfully, her hands tied together as she lay on the ground in a mess. Her rather pretty face was now covered in dust.
Zhu Lingling walked over, took out a small bottle from her arms, and put it under the man's nose.
5 seconds later, the man suddenly opened his eyes and saw the environment in front of him. He remembered that he went to the toilet before checking in and then lost consciousness!
He used his arms to push himself up, but the restraint on his wrists froze him for a moment.
A hand reached for his collar, and the next second he was pulled up and knelt on the ground.
He opened his mouth in confusion and saw Lan Xi: "Lan...Miss Lan!"
He looked at Lan Xi in horror, fell to the ground in fear, and his lips began to tremble.
Lan Xi looked at him expressionlessly, and took two steps back in disgust: "You are so bold, you dare to kick someone when he's down online!"
"Miss Lan, I... I have no choice. I was forced to do this. I can tell you who it is! Yes! I can... tell you who it is. Please let... let me go!"
The man spoke a little incoherently as he tried hard to find a solution to the problem.
Lan Xi looked at him as if he were a fool. He was so stupid that she didn't want to say anything. She sighed speechlessly and glanced at Zhu Lingling.
Zhu Lingling walked up and kicked him in the chest. It was because of this person that she had to go out at 11 o'clock in the evening. It was so annoying!
The man was kicked down, and the severe pain in his chest made him look at the frail woman in front of him in surprise.
Lan Xi raised her lips in interest. How strange! She actually saw Zhu Lingling like this!
"Do I look like I don't know?" Zhu Lingling squatted in front of the man and said with a cold face.
The man kicked his legs and moved back in fear: "So... what... what do you want to do?"
Zhu Lingling smiled, her expression surprisingly resembling Lan Xi's. "Of course it has other uses, otherwise I'd have to feed you with good food and drink."
The man looked at Zhu Lingling's expression and had a bad feeling.
…
The next morning, the plagiarized manuscript of the fired female designer was exposed on the Internet, and the video clearly marked the points she plagiarized.
The designer who was plagiarized also came out to testify and sent out the deadlines for the two manuscripts, as well as comparison pictures of the samples.
The very next day, records of the female designer hiring ghostwriters were exposed on the Internet. There were records of her hiring ghostwriters more than ten times, and there were even records of money transfers!
Some of the words used in the conversation were extremely arrogant, and sometimes they would even come back and insult the other person by saying that their manuscript was not well drawn, causing them to be scolded!
The direction of public opinion began to change, and most netizens realized that the matter was not simple and kept their mouths shut.
However, some netizens still think that it was Lan Xi who hired someone to slander the female designer, otherwise why didn't she come out to fight back at the beginning.
Some people keenly discovered that Lan Xi herself has not come out to explain or clarify any of these things about her!
In the afternoon, Lan's design company released an announcement online regarding the defamation of their chairman, Ms. Lan Xi.
They believed that Lan Xi had done nothing wrong and said that during her time working there, Lan Xi had never made things difficult for anyone.
At the end of the announcement, they expressed the hope that the Lan Group would no longer appoint unqualified designers to interfere with their work.
