Wen Yanqing had been schemed against before, so how could he let it go so easily?
This time, not only him, but his business partner, Adeline, was also was affected. Apologies had to be made.
After thinking about it, he added Zhou Manbai to the list of suspects. After all, she had the biggest motive. However, after she left Shengfang the day before, he did not see Zhou Manbai at the hotel. The people who attended the social event were all from Shengfang.
“Get the security department to send me the video of Zhou Manbai leaving the office yesterday,” Wen Yanqing instructed Yi Qian.
The surveillance footage was quickly retrieved and sent to Wen Yanqing.
Wen Yanqing opened it and watched as Zhou Manbai went downstairs and entered Director Qiao’s office for a long time. He tapped on the table.
Director Qiao was called to the CEO’s office. Looking at Wen Yanqing’s calm expression, he did not know that the other party had already found out about him. He chuckled and asked him what it was about.
“It’s not worth it for Zhou Manbai, is it?” Wen Yanqing asked.
Director Qiao’s smile froze on his face.
“When you did this with her, did you think about the consequences?” Wen Yanqing continued.
“You’re a man, so you won’t be at a disadvantage.” Director Qiao simply admitted it, still smiling cheekily at his age. “We’re all men. What’s the big deal about those little things that liven things up?”
He did not even need to be investigated and simply admitted to it in a few words. It was Zhou Manbai who instructed Director Qiao to do it. Wen Yanqing understood.
“Whether I’m at a disadvantage or not, it’s no reason for you to attack me. Director Qiao, if she had given you poison, you would be in jail right now,” Wen Yanqing said sternly.
Director Qiao waved his hand. “I wouldn’t dare to do anything else. I didn’t want to do it in the first place, but Zhou Manbai threatened me. I just put in a little to satisfy her. Just a little.”
Director Qiao was rather capable, but he was a playboy. He was used to playing around in brothels and thought nothing of this medicine. Noticing Wen Yanqing’s suspicion, he decided to confess. “It was Zhou Manbai who gave it to me. If I really felt guilty, I wouldn’t dare to admit it today.”
Wen Yanqing rubbed his temples. In the past, he only knew that Director Qiao had a lot of work experience. It was only today that he realized that he had questionable principles. He did not feel that there was anything dishonest about the wrongs he had committed – he simply brushed it off casually. If he kept such a person by his side, he would probably be a ticking time bomb.
“You dare to talk to me like this now because you think I’ll agree with your point of view?” Wen Yanqing found it ridiculous. “You think you can get away with helping others do evil? I’ll get the finance department to settle your salary. From today onward, you don’t have to come to work anymore.”
Director Qiao was worried, hearing that he would lose his job. “Don’t do that. I’ve worked for Shengfang for most of my life. Even if I don’t have any credit, I’ve worked hard.” He was suddenly fired. Would he dare show his face?
“You only have two choices. One is to do as I said just now and be disgracefully fired.” Wen Yanqing looked at him. His expression was calm, but his gaze was sharp and oppressive. “Or you can help me with something and I’ll let you resign with dignity. It’ll also be better for your reputation.”
Either way, he would have to leave Shengfang. Director Qiao knew that Wen Yanqing had really been angered this time. “With what?” he asked carefully.
“In your name, invite Zhou Manbai to a bar.”
“That simple?” Director Qiao couldn’t believe it.
“It’s that simple.”
“However, regarding the resignation…” Director Qiao immediately agreed.
“Perhaps you prefer to make it known that you attempted to murder your superior, such that no one dares to hire you?” Wen Yan said lightly..
