Didn't sleep much all night.
The next morning, Shen Ningxin got up before the alarm went off.
Her head was a little dizzy, she ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, and was taken aback by herself.
This is the first time I have such big dark circles.
"… "
She sighed, washed her face, went to sit in front of the vanity mirror, quickly applied concealer and foundation to herself, and put on a light makeup to conceal it.
It should look no different now than usual.
Who can see that her current state is actually really bad.
Immediately, he sighed helplessly, physically and mentally exhausted, and his mind was confused. All the words that floated back and forth were not wanting to work.
After just sitting in the chair for a few seconds, Shen Ningxin shook her head, and finally stood up and sorted her clothes and went downstairs with a small bag on her back.
In the adult world, what is the use of escaping.
Pei Qing is amazing, Wang is always amazing, in order not to cause trouble to Qiu Yibai, she never thought of revealing a word to this person.
She's just an intern anyway, she can't stay in Kerui, and there will always be other places.
But that doesn't mean she will compromise easily.
She still had to persist until the last moment, disgusting Pei Qing until the last second.
She came out a little late today.
The road was more congested than usual. The bus swayed and stopped, and it was hard to get to the company.
Just a little bit late.
Shen Ningxin hurriedly took out her mobile phone and punched the card. Just as she was about to go back to her work station and sit down, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Pei Qing's very wrong expression.
The usual smug look with her tail cocked to the sky suddenly disappeared, and at this moment, her face was ashes as dust.
I don't even know what to think.
It looks a little strange.
Shen Ningxin glanced at her, then sat down and turned on the computer, then got up and wanted to go to the pantry to get a glass of water.
Just standing up, Sister Zhao, who was not far away, suddenly walked behind her at some point, raised her hand and pulled her.
"One piece," she said, with a bright smile on her face.
He seemed very happy, maybe he signed another big list.
Seeing this, Shen Ningxin tried her best to evoke a smile, nodded and went to the tea room with her.
"… "
The water dispenser is still heating, so it is temporarily unavailable.
Shen Ningxin stood in a daze with the cup in her hand while waiting, her thoughts were chaotic, but Sister Zhao, who was beside her, suddenly leaned in her direction.
This is Sister Zhao's usual posture when she tells secrets.
Shen Ningxin hurriedly raised her head to look at her.
She asked, "Xiao Shen, did you hear what everyone said when you came?"
As soon as the voice fell, Shen Ningxin's heart suddenly jolted, thinking that it was her and Pei Qing's affairs that others knew.
She subconsciously shook her head and replied, "No..."
"You don't know yet." Sister Zhao raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and then moved closer to her, "There is news from the factory this morning."
She said, her voice very low: "It is said... President Wang seems to have been dismissed."
"President Wang?!" Shen Ningxin was surprised, "You mean President Wang from the domestic trade side?"
"How about it?" Sister Zhao was delighted, "How many other presidents are there in our company?"
"Why was she suddenly dismissed?" Shen Ningxin was dumbfounded, she couldn't believe it was such a coincidence.
"It seems to be collaborating with other companies in private." Sister Zhao clicked her lips, "Selling our quotation information, source of raw materials, customer list..."
"It doesn't seem like it's been a day or two. It's just that evidence was caught recently."
"It's probably busy with a lawsuit now."
On the way back to the office with the cup in hand, Shen Ningxin felt a little dazed.
She thought it was herself who would be fired, but she didn't want to hear the news that President Wang was fired.
No wonder, no wonder Pei Qing's face looks so ugly.
She sighed and suddenly remembered the message record she saw last night. Although it was only a flash, she still noticed a lot of information.
One of them is the date.
on Monday.
It happened to be the day when Qiu Yibai returned to the factory for a meeting.
The news records of Pei Qing and President Wang were also broken on that day.
It seems that she is too busy to take care of herself, how can she have time to take care of her.
An indescribable emotion suddenly accumulated in her heart, Shen Ningxin picked up the water glass and held it in her hand for a long time, finally calming down a little.
Looking up again, I suddenly caught a glimpse of someone coming in from outside.
A black lady's suit is very eye-catching, her long hair is casually draped over her shoulders, her expression is indifferent, her aura is strong, and she holds a briefcase in her hand.
It's Qiu Yibai!
She has come back!
Shen Ningxin looked at her, her originally complicated emotions suddenly disappeared in half.
Immediately, he hurriedly said hello to her: "Hello, Mr. Qiu."
"Yeah." Qiu Yibai paused when he heard the steps under his feet, and turned his eyes to look in her direction.
Then, he seemed to smile slightly.
However, she quickly retracted it. The speed was so fast that Shen Ningxin didn't have time to tell if she was smiling.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard her speak again, but the words were not addressed to her.
Instead, he looked at Pei Qing behind Shen Ningxin and said expressionlessly, "Come to my office."
As soon as the words fell, Pei Qing's already ugly face suddenly turned gloomy again.
It was surprisingly quiet in the office.
Qiu Yibai turned on the computer and took the coffee that Assistant Han brought while drank it while dealing with the work that had been delayed for the past few days.
It looks so uncomfortable.
But the more she was like this, the more nervous Pei Qing felt.
The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and finally Qiu Yibai seemed to have finally finished the matter at hand.
Looking up and seeing that she was still standing there without saying a word, she couldn't help but sighed and said, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
"Ah?" Pei Qing was stunned when he heard the words, and his body trembled subconsciously, but he still tried to maintain his previous appearance, "What do I have to say to you, President Qiu?"
"There are quite a few." Seeing that she didn't want to admit it, Qiu Yibai stopped going around in circles with her, took out a USB flash drive from his briefcase and put it on the table, "Recognize it and see if it's yours."
As soon as the thing was placed on the table, Pei Qing's face suddenly turned pale.
"You must have heard about Mr. Wang." Qiu Yibai looked at her with his arms in his arms, "Leave the company's internal information, and privately cooperate with other companies to make profits... This has caused a lot of economic losses to the company, and now the police have intervened. It's over."
"But I want to say more than that." Qiu Yibai paused, then said after a while, "I don't care what happened to their domestic trade side, I just want to know how he got our foreign trade side. client list."
"So when I was cleaning up Mr. Wang's stuff, I paid special attention and found this later."
She said, and pushed the USB flash drive on the table forward again.
Pei Qing's face had already turned ashen.
Of course she knew the USB flash drive, it was indeed her own, and there were many related pieces in it.
The most sensitive one... is Qiu Yibai's list.
I remember that last month, President Wang asked her privately to provide a few pieces, saying that it was to be kept for data comparison.
At that time, Pei Qing only thought that he was going to compete with Qiu Yibai to compare performance. Although he had concerns at the time, he was quickly carried away by President Wang's rhetoric and the benefits he provided, so he agreed to collect it.
There are quite a lot of documents, almost all of them are useless documents. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that he is trying to let himself relax his vigilance. The only useful thing is the list.
I didn't expect him to do such a thing.
Pei Qing's feet were unstable and he almost couldn't stand.
With a crying expression, she stepped forward in embarrassment and begged Qiu Yibai to let her go.
"You should be lucky." Qiu Yibai looked at her with an indifferent expression, "He hasn't had time to use this list yet, so far the impact on our foreign trade has not been that serious."
"But that doesn't mean I won't hold you accountable."
"Give you two choices, should you leave your job voluntarily or let me help you?"
Pei Qing finally chose to resign voluntarily.
The team leader who had been promoted with great difficulty flew away before becoming a team leader for a few days, and even lost his job. Pei Qing almost broke his teeth and swallowed in his stomach.
He went to get back the USB flash drive in a daze. He was about to thank Qiu Yibai for not holding him accountable, but when he was about to turn around and leave, he saw that Qiu Yibai had thrown something on the table again.
It was an envelope, bulging, and it seemed to contain a lot of things.
Pei Qing was stunned, and took a few steps back after the conditional launch, for fear that there would be some evidence against him in it.
Seeing that she was afraid, Qiu Yibai was silent for a while, and then smiled slightly: "Don't be so afraid, this thing has nothing to do with work."
"It was taken by accident when the company was investigating President Wang. I think you should take a look."
Having said that, he raised his hand to open the envelope, and slowly took out a stack of photos from it.
After all, it is a candid shot, so the angles of the photos are mostly tricky, and some of the pictures are very blurry.
But Pei Qing could still see that the person on the screen was President Wang.
But the women around him were different and of different types, people she had never known or seen.
It turned out... I was just one of his fish ponds.
What an irony.
Pei Qing was stunned for a while before he regained his senses, and tears flowed out unconsciously.
When he turned his face away, Qiu Yibai was still staring at her, and even handed a tissue appropriately: "As a colleague who has worked together for so many years, I think I should tell you something."
"Use your brain, look with your heart, and... never place your hopes on others."
Pei Qing came out crying.
The sobbing was loud, and the complexion was extremely ugly, and the whole office could hear it.
No one stepped forward to comfort him.
Everyone saw her crying in pain while sitting at the workstation, then she stood up and walked out the door, and came back with a watch in her hand.
Soon someone realized that she was probably going to a personnel affairs.
What exactly it did, it goes without saying that it is very clear.
It was Shen Ningxin who was most surprised.
Pei Qing just entered Qiu Yibai's office for less than half an hour, and when he came out again, he took the initiative to resign.
What the hell happened
What did Qiu Yibai tell her
Just wondering, it's time to get off work in the afternoon.
Everyone in the office stood up and went to the cafeteria in twos and threes after punching in the card. The surroundings quickly became quiet, and only Pei Qing's sobbing resounded in their ears.
Shen Ningxin didn't want to be alone in the same space with her, so she simply stood up and knocked on the door of Qiu Yibai's office.
As soon as she entered, she saw her taking clothes out of the drawer.
It is estimated that she did not expect her to come in. Qiu Yibai was stunned at first, and then waved at her fiercely: "Close the door!"
Shen Ningxin hurriedly closed the door.
Then he asked with some doubts: "Mr. Qiu, what are you doing?"
"Take advantage of the lunch break to go to the lounge to change clothes." Qiu Yibai said, muttering subconsciously, "That perfume smells too bad."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ningxin quickly understood that she was talking about the scent of Pei Qing's body.
It is estimated that the two were a little closer when they were talking, and the smell drifted directly down the air and stuck to them.
It turned out that Qiu Yibai hated that smell.
She thought so, then suddenly stunned, raised her hand and sniffed the smell on her body quietly.
She and Pei Qing were sitting so close, so she would inevitably get some stains on them.
Just as he was listening, Qiu Yibai suddenly raised his head in front of him.
The two looked at each other, and after a long while, the man raised his eyebrows slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was about to laugh, but he forced himself not to laugh: "Shen Ningxin, what are you doing?"
After saying that, he reached out and picked up Aji from the table, put it in front of her and shook it.
"Like a puppy."
Shen Ningxin: "..."
What happened, Shen Ningxin still didn't have time to ask.
This man did not come back for a long time after he left with his clothes, and did not see a figure until the end of the lunch break.
Thinking about it, it should be because there are too many delays in work these days, and I was so busy that I didn't get out of it all afternoon.
Time passed quickly and it was time to get off work.
Shen Ningxin punched the card, then lowered her head to pack her things, and looked up again, Qiu Yibai was still busy.
Thinking that she might not have a chance to find her today, Shen Ningxin sighed, then stood up and carried a small bag to leave.
Before he could get out of the office, the phone in his hand suddenly rang.
When she clicked on it, it turned out to be a message from Qiu Yibai. In one sentence, she asked her—
Are you trying to escape
What the hell is escaping!
When Shen Ningxin saw this, the corners of her mouth twitched.
I don't know when the crying bag noticed her leaving.
Realizing that she couldn't get away, Shen Ningxin had to go back honestly, pushed open the door and walked into her office.
It was also quickly discovered that the man had turned off the computer and stood up from the chair.
The prep work went pretty fast.
Shen Ningxin was stunned and hurriedly asked her, "Mr. Qiu, what would you like to eat?"
Qiu Yibai snorted coldly when he heard the words, and murmured a little unhappily: "It's obviously your treat, do you want your leader to decide?"
"Anything will do, find something you think is delicious."
"Alright, alright." Shen Ningxin hurriedly agreed, walking out behind her and turning on her phone to find out if there was any food nearby.
In the end, I chose the barbecue.
Qiu Yibai immediately disliked it, saying that barbecue is not healthy at all.
However, he still took her there in the Maserati.
Judging by the expression... in fact, it seems to be quite happy.
The one that Shen Ningxin chose was the most expensive barbecue in the neighborhood, and the decoration and taste were not bad.
Before coming here, Shen Ningxin called and reserved a private room. As soon as the two entered the door, the waitress led them to the room with a smile.
After all, two to four people are seated, and there is not much space in the private room.
The two sat around the table facing each other, the oven was quickly set up, turned on, and a steady stream of heat came over.
Mo Ming was a little itchy.
The senses were gradually magnified, Qiu Yibai's breathing, movements, even a small reaction were very clear and obvious.
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little, Shen Ningxin lowered her head, suddenly regretting how she chose this place.
Just as he was regretting it, Qiu Yibai, who was opposite him, suddenly opened his mouth.
In a rare and serious tone, she called her name: "Shen Ningxin."
Shen Ningxin was stunned when she heard the words, she raised her head quickly, and subconsciously replied, "Eh."
She made a big move, and the bag next to her was accidentally knocked to the ground.
Qiu Yibai was probably in a good mood. Not only did he not complain about her when he saw such a scene, but he bent down and picked up the bag.
He even kindly picked up the paper towel on the side to wipe it, and handed it back with his backhand.
At the same time, he also opened his mouth and murmured in a very soft voice: "Have you been bullied?"
As soon as the voice fell, Shen Ningxin was a little shocked.
How did she know
Suddenly a little confused in her mind, she raised her head to look into Qiu Yibai's eyes, and shook her head gently after a while.
I don't want to say that, on the one hand, I am afraid that Qiu Yibai is worried.
On the other hand, if Qiu Yibai knew that Pei Qing said that about him, he would probably be sad.
She has done everything, and she is not a child, so she has no reason to cry with others.
Besides, this person is still a crying bag. If he is unhappy and burst into tears for a while, the scene will be out of control.
"… "
She thought about it a lot for a while, and then raised her eyes, Qiu Yibai was still staring at her.
Embarrassment suddenly surged in her heart, she paused, and quickly raised her hand to pour her a glass of water, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Eat and eat."
"Is the other party Pei Qing?" Who knows that this crying bag is very persistent, and he has to ask why, "You don't have much interaction with her at work, and you are not someone who can't bear hardships, so you shouldn't have trouble with her in this regard. She was conflicted."
"So... Did she scold you? Or is it the yin and yang that hurt someone? Sister Zhao, Wang Xi, Assistant Han?"
"I?"
Pretty accurate guess.
Shen Ningxin's shock was beyond words.
Seeing her surprised expression, Qiu Yibai immediately knew that he had guessed correctly.
Some proudly snorted, and then said: "Is it really me?"
Shen Ningxin sighed and nodded lightly after a while.
She was a little afraid that the crying bag would get angry at the horns, she was silent for a moment, and quickly raised her head to observe her expression.
However, no emotion was captured.
The man was still sitting upright on the spot, and said nonchalantly, "Actually, I heard what Assistant Han said. She said that there seemed to be a conflict between the two of you when I bumped into you, so I went down and guessed the reason."
"Actually, you didn't need to do that," she said later. "After all... a lot of people have said bad things about me behind my back."
"I know."
The tone that sounds quite relieved, but there is so much sadness and emotion in it.
Shen Ningxin quickly noticed it, and the Weibo she had read appeared in her mind, and she immediately felt distressed.
So this time she was no longer silent.
Instead, he quickly said, "It's not like that."
Qiu Yibai looked at her with a startled expression: "What's wrong?"
"She's not right." Shen Ningxin sighed, raised her eyes to meet hers, her tone was rare and tough, "Those words are obviously unfounded rumors and slander, which is extremely ridiculous."
"So I subconsciously denied her, because I know what kind of person you are, and I can't deceive myself."
Qiu Yibai's ears turned red.
Her cheeks were also a little hot, she picked up the cup and pretended to drink water, and mocked her as if she was okay: "What do you know as an intern who has not been here for a long time?"
The look of dodging is really making people want to laugh.
Of course I do.
Shen Ningxin looked at her and said nothing.
After a long while, he suddenly raised his lips and smiled, and picked up the kettle beside him to refill her with water.
Just as he was about to ask her to eat, he heard the man say something.
The sound is very small, hidden in the sizzling sound of the barbecue, and it does not sound very clear.
But Shen Ningxin was able to tell the difference very quickly. What she said was: "If you have anything in the future, just tell me, it's not like I can't help you."
Muttering, shy.
"Then what if the other party is someone more powerful than you?" Shen Ningxin couldn't help but get interested when she heard the words, and immediately asked, "How can you help me?"
"You're talking about Mr. Wang, right?" Qiu Yibai froze and raised her eyebrows unhappily, not expecting her words to be heard by her, "I already knew about the affair between him and Pei Qing."
"He can keep Pei Qing who doesn't know anything, can't I keep a steadfast and willing you?"
As she spoke, she picked up the cup and took another sip of water, and glanced at her with displeased eyes.
He whispered softly, and then said softly, as if rhetorically.
"Shen Ningxin, are you underestimating me too?"
