Seeing that they were looking at Qin Ying while talking, Xie Fangyuan asked her softly:
"Have you offended these two people?"
Qin Ying thought about it and shook her head blankly:
"I don't think so. They asked me a few questions yesterday, but nothing else!"
"What's wrong with these two? They've been acting weird towards you the whole time!"
Qin Ying didn't even raise her eyelids, not caring at all:
"Let them be. They didn't mention my name. Maybe they just said it on purpose for me to hear. Let's get to work. Finish it quickly and leave early!"
Seeing that she had no interest in chatting, Xie Fangyuan also shut up.
After a while, the office suddenly became quiet, and Section Chief Lin came over with a serious face and called Qin Ying away.
She originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask Section Chief Lin about the letter of introduction.
Who knew that before he could even open his mouth, he heard Section Chief Lin say apologetically:
"Comrade Qin Ying, I'm sorry to tell you that you're fired!"
Qin Ying was stunned. After a moment's pause, she asked blankly:
"Chief Lin, is there something I did wrong?"
Before Lin Zhiqiang could answer, the office door opened and Chen Xuanhan walked in with an angry look on his face, holding a newspaper in his hand:
"This is complete nonsense! Don't you need to verify the information before publishing it? Who is so irresponsible?"
Lin Zhiqiang waved his hand at him, signaling him to calm down:
"Old Chen, stop talking! The editor-in-chief just called me personally. The Propaganda Department saw the news and ordered us to fire the person immediately!"
Qin Ying didn't understand what was going on, so she subconsciously took the newspaper from Chen Xuanhan. It was a copy of the Yancheng Daily, and the headline on the front page read:
A huge scandal has emerged at Jingyun Publishing House. It is shocking that the bilingual proofreader Qin Ying obtained her job and sought benefits through money and sex transactions!
The article described her background, age, hometown, life story, and experiences from childhood to adulthood in great detail, with special emphasis on the fact that she had never been to school and did not have a diploma.
Then how did she get to know the editor named Chen, how did she get the recruitment information, and how did she easily pass the application with the Section Chief named Lin who was known for his strictness? The story was very detailed and obscure, which was very intriguing, and she was almost missing her photo.
The first person Qin Ying thought of was Qin Meihua, because no one except Qin Meihua knew such detailed information.
Unexpectedly, she was just feeling lucky to have found a good job and a bright future, but just a few days later, all her dreams were shattered.
She felt a deep sense of powerlessness as she held the newspaper.
Uncle Chen and Section Chief Lin are both enthusiastic people. We can’t let them lose their jobs and lose face for her!
She handed the newspaper back to Chen Xuanhan with a somewhat lonely look on her face.
Chen Xuanhan looked reluctant and asked curiously:
"Xiao Qin, you just arrived in Yancheng. Who would target you like this? Writing such a false report shows they completely disregard your life or death!"
Qin Ying now has no evidence to prove that Qin Meihua did it, and her claim that it was her own sister who framed her is not very credible.
But this matter cannot be ignored!
Even if she doesn't want her job, Chief Lin and Chen Xuanhan's innocence are very important.
Moreover, in this era, this is a big deal. Section Chief Lin and Chen Xuanhan were shot innocently, their reputations were damaged, and their families were directly endangered.
Besides, she didn't want to let Qin Meihua go.
She thought about it and said with some embarrassment:
"Actually, I don't know who would target me like this... But I think this matter is easy to investigate. As long as we know who sent the message, we can follow the clues to find out!"
Section Chief Lin had no intention of just stretching his neck and swallowing his anger. He was an upright person, but that was no reason for others to slander him at will.
He looked at Qin Ying and said solemnly:
"Comrade Xiao Qin, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. It involves everyone's reputation, and the report is false. I must give all of us innocence and justice. I know some classmates at the Yancheng newspaper. We'll know everything if we ask them to investigate! I'll let you know the final outcome, so you can go back with peace of mind!"
Qin Ying was suddenly very touched. They did not put all the responsibility on one person, but tried to find a way to solve it. Chief Lin was a very respectable person!
Chen Xuanhan also said:
"Xiao Qin, this isn't your fault. It's the people who spread the rumors. Find them and make them apologize publicly! Don't overthink it, and don't let it weigh you down!"
At this time, they were still thinking about comforting her, and Qin Ying felt sad.
When she came out of Section Chief Lin's office, she saw everyone in the room looking at her, especially Sister Wang, who had a gloating expression on her face.
She said to Xiao Zhao beside her:
"Look, I told you, if you don't have any real skills, you'll be exposed sooner or later if you try to act like a big shot!"
Xiao Zhao also looked disdainful:
"Isn't that because I'm pretty?"
"Is it enough to just be good-looking? If you have the ability to spread your legs and feed everyone without being discovered, that's what real talent is!"
Xie Fangyuan couldn't stand their indirect criticism and foul language, so he scolded them loudly:
"Sister Wang, Sister Zhao, how can you speak like that? Did Qin Ying offend you? You all speak so harshly. You are already so old, how can you set an example for the young people?"
Sister Wang became unhappy when she heard this and rolled her eyes at Xie Fangyuan:
"Xiao Xie, we didn't say Qin Ying offended us. We can't even chat here. We didn't mention her name. Why are you so nervous? You're meddling too much!"
Seeing Xie Fangyuan's angry face but unable to refute anything, Xiao Zhao laughed even more happily:
