In Qin Lili's view, it wasn't theft; she had merely borrowed the manuscript. It would eventually return to Gu Qingning's hands, so why bother fussing over it? It would ruin her reputation.
It would be fine if she couldn't stay at the provincial newspaper, but now other jobs don't want her either.
Because her reputation was affected, her family tried every possible way to arrange a marriage for her, but after meeting her, they just shook their heads and refused.
All this had a huge impact on him, and he had no choice but to get married.
But the man seemed to be a good person on the surface, but in fact he was a beast in human skin. She had been beaten several times just one month after her marriage.
Every time he hit her in a private place, she couldn't tell anyone about it, so she told her mother several times.
But the man was so superficial that his mother didn't believe him. She just thought she was lying because she was dissatisfied with him.
The whole family couldn't believe the suffering she had endured, so they could only swallow their anger.
Now, he vented all his resentment on Gu Qingning.
Gu Qingning sneered, "Take what originally belonged to someone else and claim it as your own? And you think it's natural? Only your Qin family would do that. Seeing how overbearing you are, if you really hold a high position, you need to be thoroughly investigated. Who knows, you might have done something immoral to embezzle the people."
This was heard by the people who came in to eat, and they immediately stared at Qin Lili with anger.
The Qin family is quite famous in the provincial capital, because Qin Lili's father is the second in command in the department, so he has some connections.
But she is too domineering and is disliked by others. Now that Qin Lili is like this, it is inevitable that people will make associations.
Qin Lili looked at Gu Qingning and wished she could tear her apart. It would have been fine if she had just destroyed herself, but now she wasn't even going to let her father go.
If her father was implicated because of her, she would definitely be abandoned by the family.
Her mother regards her husband as her God and will only obey her father's wishes. Qin Lili suddenly panicked.
"Ms. Gu, I think there's some misunderstanding between us. I was too angry just now and said something without thinking. I hope you don't take it to heart."
Qin Lili now wanted to calm Gu Qingning's anger and tell her not to speak without thinking.
Her father is currently in the process of being promoted and cannot stand any gossip.
But Gu Qingning wasn't one to keep quiet. Instead, she spoke loudly, "Are you saying this because you feel guilty? If you were truly innocent, why would you be so afraid of being checked? Could it be that you've really embezzled money?"
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, causing the person who had just gotten out of the car outside to freeze instantly, and then react.
He walked in with an angry face, and when he saw Qin Lili, he slapped her, "How could I have a daughter like you? How did I raise you? I let you show off. Now apologize to that little comrade."
The man was Qin Lili's father, Qin Huai. He had a standard square face and looked very serious, but the depth in his eyes showed that he was not simple.
It was obvious that this was a powerful person. Gu Qingning observed calmly.
Qin Huai saw Gu Qingning and quickly apologized with a smile: "I'm very sorry, young comrade. I didn't educate you well and caused you trouble. If there is anything you need to deal with, just tell me directly. Although she is my daughter, the law is not forgiving, and I will definitely handle it impartially."
This was almost said explicitly: as long as Gu Qingning agreed, any way of dealing with Qin Lili was fine.
Qin Lili has been spoiled since she was a child. She was a little surprised when she was treated like this by her father for the first time.
Then he said in disbelief: "Father, you...you really don't care about me. It's obviously this woman..."
Qin Lili's words were stopped by Qin Huai, who said in a cold voice: "Secretary Li, take her away first. We can talk later if you have anything to say. I will deal with the problem with the young comrade first."
The secretary looked very good. He walked up to Qin Lili and took her away without giving her a chance to speak.
However, Qin Huai looked at Gu Qingning's undeniable fierce aura and knew that he was also a tough character.
Especially Lu Changqing standing next to her, although his presence is very low, he is definitely a dangerous person.
Qin Huai wiped the sweat from his forehead calmly. He didn't know what kind of person his silly daughter had offended. She would really cause trouble for him.
I just helped her solve the newspaper problem some time ago. She also married into a good family and is living a decent life.
With her reputation, what good life can she expect? What she is given now is worthy of her.
He is still young and can try to have a second child and move up in position. What he has worked so hard for must not be ruined by Qin Lili.
"Young comrade, please don't say anything careless. As for the manuscript issue you mentioned, I can review it for you. If you are not satisfied with anything, feel free to complain to me."
Anyway, as long as he is there, even if Qin Lili is really caught, those people will give her some face and dare not be too harsh.
Just wait until this matter is over and then release her.
Although there are severe crackdowns in this era, personal relationships are also important. These old hands have a strong control over the business and they know how to operate very well.
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "Mr. Qin really surprised me."
It is really puzzling that such a strict old fox would raise such a brainless daughter.
With this kind of trick, how could her daughter be so stupid?
Qin Huai understood what Gu Qingning meant, and felt a little helpless. He had given birth to a child because he was busy with work, but he didn't expect that the child would be spoiled by the elderly in the family and turned into such a brainless waste. It really gave him a headache.
If Qin Lili had half the mind and means of Gu Qingning, it wouldn't have been so difficult for him to climb.
"Little comrade, please stop teasing me. I heard you're also an educated youth with great literary talent. I'd like to ask you for advice sometime. I sincerely apologize for the trouble my daughter has caused you. I have a meeting here. If you need me for anything, you can come directly to the provincial government hall to find me."
After saying that, Qin Huai took out his business card, turned around and left in a hurry, and his secretary hurriedly followed.
The municipal party secretary who was transferred back here is a sly old jerk and the one who gives Qin Huai the most headaches.
It all depends on who can hold the top position in the city government. Now is the time when the competition is the most intense, so he must be careful.
Lu Changqing supported Gu Qingning and said in a deep voice: "That thing belongs to you, and it must not be taken away easily. Since you have no intention of repenting, let her go."
Lu Changqing's words undoubtedly determined Qin Lili's ending. People like her will always blame others for their mistakes whenever they are unhappy.
With this kind of behavior, it's not worth letting him out. Gu Qingning raised her head and said, "My husband understands me the best. Let's do as you say. I also think I've been too kind to her."
Sure enough, some people will find ways to disgust you as long as you don't kill them, and this will never happen again.
