Lin Lanxing's eyes were full of mockery, but Song Qinian ignored her. When the light changed, she started the car.
Lin Lanxing snorted softly and turned to look at Shen Chiye, "Chiye brother, Song Qinian riding such a shabby thing to work is clearly slapping your face."
Thinking of something, Lin Lanxing exclaimed, "No, she did it on purpose. If the old lady knew she rode an electric scooter to work, she'd think you were bullying her! This damned woman, I didn't expect her to be so calculating."
As she spoke, Lin Lanxing saw Song Qinian again. She leaned out the window and shouted, "Song Qinian, I hope you get soaked like a drowned rat in the heavy rain!"
Not long after Lin Lanxing finished speaking, there was a traffic accident ahead, causing a traffic jam.
Song Qinian, riding her small electric scooter, easily weaved through the traffic, leaving a graceful silhouette.
As soon as Song Qinian arrived home, the heavy rain began.
Lin Lanxing and Shen Chiye were stuck on the overpass, their car drenched by the downpour.
Shen Chiye hadn't been home for a long time, and Song Qinian didn't expect him to come back.
Lin Lanxing sat in Shen Chiye's car. They would definitely go to see Lin Qiutong, and Shen Chiye would likely spend the whole night with Lin Qiutong.
After finishing her work, Song Qinian went to sleep.
She slept until the middle of the night, and in a daze, a heavy arm suddenly pulled her into an embrace.
Smelling alcohol, Song Qinian woke up abruptly. She subconsciously tried to turn on the light, but Shen Chiye's cold, threatening voice suddenly rang out, "Move again, and you won't sleep tonight!"
Song Qinian thought of the scene of being tormented by Shen Chiye in the office during the day, and dared not move.
Not long after, Shen Chiye seemed to have fallen asleep, but Song Qinian's eyes were wide open, devoid of sleepiness.
Why did he… run to her room? And sleep holding her?
The next morning, Song Qinian got up with dark circles under her eyes, feeling quite depressed.
Rarely, Shen Chiye ate breakfast with Song Qinian. Zhang Qiaoqiao prepared both Chinese and Western breakfasts.
Song Qinian didn't dare to disturb Shen Chiye, and was as well-behaved as possible while eating.
Shen Chiye gave her a cold glance. Seeing that she wasn't fawning over him like before, his brows furrowed slightly.
After breakfast, they went out together. After getting into the car, Shen Chiye gave Gao Kunlun a look. Gao Kunlun understood and smiled at Song Qinian, who was putting on her helmet, "Madam, please get on, it's on the way, I can give you a ride."
Song Qinian looked at Gao Kunlun, full of wariness.
Gao Kunlun didn't dare to let her on the car without authorization, it must have been instructed by Shen Chiye.
And Shen Chiye, who used to hate her leaning on him so much, why would he suddenly give her a ride?
Something unusual must be going on.
That's right!
She had written "Shen Chiye, you big bastard" on paper yesterday, and Shen Chiye must have seen it.
Although he didn't settle the score with her last night, he might do it today.
Thinking of this, Song Qinian quickly put on her helmet, smiled, and shook her head, "No need, it's more convenient for me to ride my own bike, and it won't get stuck in traffic."
"The weather is so hot…"
"The natural breeze is very cool."
Before Gao Kunlun could say anything else, Song Qinian had already ridden away.
Gao Kunlun, having failed his mission, didn't dare to look at Shen Chiye's face.
As expected, Shen Chiye's expression was extremely displeased.
Song Qinian used to cling to him so tightly, why was she suddenly so obedient?
Was she playing hard to get?
Or was she hurt in the office yesterday?
Heh… whatever it was, what did it have to do with him?
Song Qinian arrived at the planning department just in time. As expected, she saw Xie Xueyi anxiously waiting at the door.
"Oh my, why are you so slow! Where's the proposal? Is it done?"
Song Qinian calmly walked to her workstation and took out the document bag.
Xie Xueyi snatched it and quickly opened it. Seeing that Song Qinian had finished it, she smiled and patted her shoulder, "Well done, keep up the good work."
It was time for the meeting, and Xie Xueyi took the proposal to the conference room without even checking it.
Song Qinian smiled faintly as she watched her triumphant back.
An hour later, Xie Xueyi came to Song Qinian's desk, her face full of anger, "Song Qinian, come with me."
Song Qinian didn't say anything and followed Xie Xueyi to a corner.
Xie Xueyi reached out to hit Song Qinian, but Song Qinian seemed to have expected this and grabbed her hand.
Xie Xueyi was surprised that Song Qinian would resist, and angrily threw Song Qinian's hand away.
"You good-for-nothing Song Qinian, I asked you to do the proposal, and you made a mistake, causing me to be scolded by President Shen!"
Song Qinian smiled and stared at Xie Xueyi, her eyes full of contempt, as if to say Xie Xueyi deserved it.
Xie Xueyi then realized and pointed at Song Qinian incredulously, "You… you did it on purpose?"
Song Qinian continued to smile.
"Ah…"
Xie Xueyi screamed in frustration and lunged at Song Qinian.
She never expected that after so many years in the workplace, she would be tricked by a mute.
The commotion they made attracted a lot of attention.
With such a big scene, it was impossible for Manager Yang Hongbin not to know.
Soon, Song Qinian and Xie Xueyi were summoned to the office by Yang Hongbin.
"What's going on with you two? You're colleagues, why are you fighting instead of helping each other? If President Shen finds out, no one will have an easy time."
Xie Xueyi immediately started crying aggrievedly, "Manager Yang, I was too busy yesterday. After the copy was done, I didn't have time to check it, so I asked Song Qinian to help me check it. But I didn't expect her to change my copy, which caused President Shen to scold me."
Song Qinian finally witnessed what it meant to confuse right and wrong and twist facts.
She handed Yang Hongbin what she had written down.
It read, "Xie Xueyi is bullying me in the workplace. She throws all her work to me every day. She didn't touch that proposal at all; I did it all."
Xie Xueyi also saw the words on the paper.
"She's talking nonsense! That proposal is so important, how could I possibly give it to a newcomer like her? I…"
Before Xie Xueyi could finish speaking, Yang Hongbin interrupted her, "Alright, alright! I roughly know the ins and outs of the matter. Xie Xueyi, you need to complete your work diligently and rigorously. You know the proposal is very important, yet you handed it over to someone else to check, which is your fault."
Xie Xueyi wanted to say something else but was stopped by Yang Hongbin's glare.
Then, Yang Hongbin looked at Song Qinian again, "And you, Song Qinian, how can a little squabble between colleagues be called workplace bullying? It's too serious."
Song Qinian frowned and was about to write something when Yang Hongbin impatiently said, "This matter ends here. Work hard in the future and contribute to Ding Sheng Group together. You can both leave now."
Song Qinian did not expect such a major issue to be resolved in just two sentences by Yang Hongbin.
Yang Hongbin was clearly favoring Xie Xueyi.
Seeing their exchange of glances, Song Qinian finally understood what Miao Zi'ai meant by "backstage."
Xie Xueyi sneered and left the office triumphantly.
Song Qinian knew that further explanation was useless and also walked out of the office.
As soon as she went out, she saw Xie Xueyi standing at the door. Xie Xueyi crossed her arms and stared at her dismissively, "Song Qinian, you're too naive to try and mess with me! As for you, you've angered me, so you won't have a good time in the planning department."
