Chapter 52: Get Out!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

President Tang had organized a grand collaboration meeting with Yan Sini. All the famous figures and seven major designers from Sky Palace were present.

As Luo Lisha and Liang Shuyin had contributed greatly, they took their seats at the head of the table.

However, Yan Sini did not display the same appreciation and fondness for Sky Palace as she did during the interview. Instead, she looked like she was in low spirits the whole time.

Then, she started asking about the product itself, causing Luo Lisha to push Liang Shuyin to the spotlight.

Liang Shuyin was originally feeling immensely pleased with herself. She felt that this contract-signing event was like her coronation ceremony. However, she didn’t expect to be asked these questions.

For a moment, she couldn’t help but look nervous.

Liang Shuyin opened her mouth noiselessly, but her mind was a mess. How should she explain?

She wasn’t the one who modified the specimen at all; neither was she the one who got someone to do it. In fact, she usually slacked off a lot at work, so she didn’t know much about filigree work.

“I can’t find him right away…”

Liang Shuyin was still trying her best to make up lies, but she couldn’t even speak clearly on such an important occasion.

At this moment, the door was opened, and a male voice interrupted them.

“She can’t answer any of your questions… because she’s not the one who worked on Exquisite Eye at all.”

Xie Xingen, who was wearing a suit and a serious expression, walked in from outside. Behind him followed the still depressed but aggressive ‘Song Xiaocao’.

This duo surprised everyone present. When Liang Shuyin saw them, her expression revealed a trace of surprise.

President Tang quickly stood up to welcome him. “Assistant Xie, why did you suddenly come?”

Xie Xingen glanced at Liang Shuyin and said calmly, “To prevent some people with improper intentions from getting away with it.”

Although Liang Shuyin was already so nervous that she was trembling slightly, she still tried her best to squeeze out an ingratiating smile.

She said coquettishly, “Assistant Xie, what are you talking about…? I was the one who led the marketing campaign this time. I was also the one who contacted Miss Yan through a friend…”

Xie Xingen swept a glance at her. “Then, tell me… who is this friend of yours? Miss Yan is here in person right now. Do you dare lie in front of her?”

“I… My friend is a staff member working beside Miss Yan. She only brought the specimen to let Miss Yan take a look. There are so many people around Miss Yan, so I’m afraid that she doesn’t remember my friend anymore.”

Liang Shuyin was really trying her best, but she was still full of loopholes that it made people laugh.

Yan Sini couldn’t hold back any longer and retorted immediately, “You really have no sense of shame. The person who brought the design draft for Exquisite Eye to me was Song Wei, the Young Madam of Jiang Corporation.”

Liang Shuyin was stunned and blurted out, “Impossible! How could a lowly bumpkin like Song Xiaocao possibly know Song Wei?!”

The moment she spouted these words, those colleagues—who usually thought that she was an angel—looked hesitant.

Song Wei heard Liang Shuyin’s insults towards her and smiled instead of getting angry. “It is true that I don’t know her, but Assistant Xie has actually been a good friend of mine for many years. I asked him to recommend Exquisite Eye to Madam Jiang.”

Liang Shuyin was about to break down. “Since you have evidence and witnesses, why didn’t you say so previously?”

Xie Xingen cast a disdainful glance at her and said, “Xiaocao didn’t explain herself previously because she didn’t want to ruin my reputation with gossip. However, I didn’t expect Miss Liang to be so capable. Capable enough to splash hot water on herself to frame Xiaocao and cause her to be suspended.”

Manager Zhang from the marketing department had always liked Liang Shuyin. At this moment, he finally couldn’t sit still anymore. “We’ve checked the surveillance cameras. That cup of coffee that was splashed on Shuyin was indeed from Song Xiaocao. Although Shuyin might have made a mistake, you can’t possibly pin all the blame on her, right?”

Song Xiaocao seemed to have expected this argument. She calmly took out a stack of documents and placed them on the table.

“Actually, I took that coffee cup away that day and asked Assistant Xie to help me do fingerprint identification and trace analysis. In the end, the results concluded that there is a complete set of Liang Shuyin’s five fingerprints on the cup. The orientation of the fingerprints and the force exerted, coupled with the movements of her arm in the video, it can be deduced that she was the one who splashed the coffee on herself after snatching the cup away.”

“…” Liang Shuyin’s body was trembling slightly.

The Song Xiaocao in front of her clearly looked so ugly and mediocre, and she was clearly wearing a harmless smile still. However, how could her eyes make people shiver all over so easily?!

At this moment, the person with the ugliest expression was Luo Lisha. She looked at Liang Shuyin—who she had always held in high regard—in disbelief. “Shuyin, was it true—what Assistant Xie said just now?”

Liang Shuyin wanted to defend herself, but when she opened her mouth, she was rendered speechless by the strong evidence.

“So, Song Xiaocao actually won the bet, but you thought that, because her words carry little weight, you can just steal her credit? And to drive her out of the company, you even put on such a big show?”

Tears streamed down Liang Shuyin’s face instantly as she looked especially aggrieved. “Sister Lisha, I really wanted to work under you so much. I was afraid that, if I didn’t produce good results, you’d chase me out…”

However, Luo Lisha only put on a cold face, and there was even a trace of disgust in her eyes. “You were originally the one I thought was the most promising. If you really worked your way up the corporate ladder steadily, things wouldn’t have turned out like they did today.”

“I know I was wrong. I’ve always been doing my best. I only used this devious idea this one time. Please don’t fire me…”

However, Luo Lisha did not show any mercy. “Quickly pack your things and get lost. I don’t want to see you.”

President Tang was even more ruthless. He called the security guards over directly. “Take Liang Shuyin to the human resources department to complete the procedures for her dismissal. We can’t let her off this issue so easily. The public relations department will notify all our colleagues about the result of this matter.”

Then, he turned around and asked Yan Sini and Xie Xingen, “Miss Yan, Assistant Xie, are you satisfied with how we handled this? Since Song Xiaocao is someone that Miss Yan has taken a fancy to and is also Assistant Xie’s friend, I will definitely look after and nurture her more often…”

Xie Xingen’s tone changed at this moment. “That’s not necessary. She will take what she deserves, and there’s no need to give her what she shouldn’t receive either. Everything will depend on her own capability.”

President Tang nodded quickly. “Yes, yes. We will definitely do as you say.”

In a corner that no one noticed, Song Wei smiled with a trace of pleasure.

Finally, she didn’t have to watch this green tea b*tch act anymore. She really wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate this occasion.

When Liang Shuyin walked past her, the former still wanted to tug at her sleeve, “Xiaocao, forgive me. Can you help me plead for leniency? I just lost my head for a moment…”

Song Wei looked at her. “When you wanted to drive me out of the company, you didn’t show any mercy at all. You want me to help you? In your dreams.”

“Why are you so vicious? You’re just jealous of me! Jealous that I’m prettier than you and that I’m more popular than you…”

Yan Sini walked over and helped Song Wei pull Liang Shuyin’s hand away. “With your looks, you can only be considered decent among ordinary people. If you want to rely on your beauty to survive for the rest of your life, I advise you to look in the mirror.”

Yan Sini’s words were very lethal. She was truly considered attractive even in the entertainment industry. In front of her, Liang Shuyin was as ordinary as an ugly duckling.

At this moment, the appearance that Liang Shuyin had been so proud of was mercilessly crushed. Her eyes had turned completely dull.

After Liang Shuyin was taken away, Yan Sini walked over and pulled on Song Wei’s hand. “I’ve clearly never met you before, but I feel close to you the moment I see you. It must be fate between us. I’m looking forward to seeing your own work.”

Song Wei deliberately lowered her voice and said, “Thank you for your favor. I will work hard.”

Yan Sini made a gesture of encouragement to her and then signed her name on the contract without hesitation.
