Chapter 3
[At first, Director Tang's desire for power remained unquenched, which is why he arranged for Tang Jun to test Secretary Jin, to see if she could be poached. Little did he know he'd end up sacrificing his son. If he knew his son had turned into such a sycophant, he'd... Haha!]
[Now he's strongly supporting his son in this matter, probably still thinking his son is winning people over, so he's here to back him up.]
[He lost his son and is now helping the other side count their money!]
Director Tang, who had been standing behind his son as solid as a mountain, suddenly shuddered as he caught Qin Xian's penetrating gaze.
Director Tang instantly became smug, puffing out his chest and sucking in his stomach.
It seemed that Qin Xian was indeed in the wrong about this matter. Look at him, unable to save face after being berated by his precious son.
Perhaps they could use this opportunity to poach Secretary Jin!
Let's see who'll dare call his son a good-for-nothing, spoiled rich kid after this!
"Hey! Qin Xian, are you going to let this woman bully Secretary Jin?!" Tang Jun, seeing that Qin Xian hadn't reacted and his expression kept changing, couldn't help but shout angrily. "Don't forget, only Ji Fei has met that company's Vice President Li! There are photos and videos as proof!"
Qin Xian, who had accidentally overindulged in the drama, quickly coughed and adopted a serious tone, turning to Ji Fei.
"Why did you meet him?"
The last time he asked Ji Fei, she had been hysterical and hadn't given a proper answer.
This time, Qin Xian felt that even if Ji Fei still didn't cooperate, at least he could find out the truth through other means.
Ji Fei blinked, feeling that things were getting complicated. She hadn't expected Qin Xian to truly intend to investigate thoroughly.
In terms of character, Qin Xian was indeed quite good. He was trying hard not to wrongly accuse anyone.
But this wasn't what Ji Fei wanted. She wanted a divorce!
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly met Qin Xian's gaze. His sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, deep-set features, were like a perfectly proportioned model. His looks were no less than any big celebrity, especially when he looked at her intently. For a moment, it was as if he could captivate one's soul, leaving Ji Fei stunned for a second.
Without those two hundred million, Qin Xian's face was still quite deceptive. At least Ji Fei had been fooled for a moment.
However, at this moment, his handsome face was full of gravity, his whole demeanor exuding an air of seriousness that left no room for jest.
That gaze, which seemed to see through to her inner thoughts, startled Ji Fei, causing her to blurt out involuntarily.
"It was work arranged by my agent."
As soon as she said it, Ji Fei regretted it so much she wanted to bang her head against the wall.
Had she fallen for the handsome man trick?
Why did she answer honestly? This was going to complicate things even further!
Before anyone could react, Tang Jun sneered, "That's a pretty stupid excuse. Has your agent gone mad, arranging work for you with a rival company?"
Qin Corporation had its own entertainment division, with a studio specifically serving Ji Fei. As an agent employed by Qin Corporation, it was impossible to accept work from a rival company.
Unless it was deliberate.
Tang Jun didn't give Ji Fei a chance to speak again, immediately having someone contact Ji Fei's agent, Sister Wei.
The call was quickly answered, and the situation was explained.
Sister Wei immediately responded, "What? I never made such an arrangement! Mrs. Qin, you can't falsely accuse me like this! I'm just a small fry, I really can't bear such a heavy responsibility."
A mere agent would certainly not dare to wrongly accuse the CEO's wife.
No one noticed the stiffness in her tone; they only felt that everything had been confirmed.
Secretary Jin's lips curled into a secret smile.
Tang Jun said smugly, "Next time you lie, don't say something that can be so easily exposed."
Then he mouthed to Ji Fei: "Idiot."
This time, Ji Fei was truly annoyed.
She had originally thought it was just ordinary framing, and that small fries like Sister Wei had also been set up. She hadn't expected the plot to be so extensive, even involving Sister Wei.
Qin Xian had also thought of this point and was considering having someone investigate Sister Wei later when he heard Ji Fei's inner thoughts.
[I want to see how much money they paid her to frame me.]
Qin Xian: ...
Could she see whatever information she wanted?
[What!]
[Is my innocence only worth a 2,000 yuan red envelope?]
[This is impossible, absolutely impossible!]
[I must have missed a zero!]
Qin Xian was also stunned, his head full of question marks. Just... 2,000 yuan?
[Wuwuwu, it really is 2,000 yuan... Eh? Wait, ah?! I see...]
What what?
After waiting for a long time, Ji Fei kept exclaiming.
Qin Xian's originally cool temperament was about to be driven to irritation by Ji Fei.
Just say it! If you don't say it, how can I prove your innocence?
Fortunately, Ji Fei still unconsciously recognized the situation.
[No wonder she didn't want money. It turns out that agent Sister Wei is Secretary Jin's sister-in-law. They're actually family, of course they'd present a united front.]
[So Secretary Jin had planted a chess piece by my side long ago?! They even pretended not to know each other before. Impressive, impressive!]
Qin Xian: Why are you praising her!
Upon hearing the truth, Qin Xian was suddenly quite shocked.
So Secretary Jin had made so many arrangements behind his back so early on!
At this moment, a subordinate was carefully asking if they could hang up the call with Sister Wei, since everything that needed to be said had been said.
Qin Xian's tone changed as he spoke into the phone, "Since the stories don't match up, I will arrange for people to carefully gather evidence. If agent Wei has no physical evidence, then we will thoroughly investigate your network of connections."
Instantly, everyone present looked at Qin Xian in shock.
Everyone: Things have come to this point, and he's still nitpicking?
Ji Fei: Damn! How can Qin Xian stumble upon the truth so accurately by accident?
And no one noticed Secretary Jin's panic and the sharp intake of breath on the other end of the phone.
"What do you mean by that?" Tang Jun continued to charge forward for love.
Qin Xian calmly said, "When stories don't match up, even the police wouldn't be biased in their investigation. Ji Fei's network of connections is simple, I know all of it, and before this, it was impossible for her to have any connection with the other party. But I'm not sure about this agent."
"Mr. Qin... how could I possibly have any connection with a rival company?" The agent said anxiously.
Indeed, there wasn't any, but as long as they investigated, they would discover her relationship with Secretary Jin.
And this relationship was unknown to others, which would suggest intentional concealment, and since it was involved in this incident, it would be hard to explain.
Qin Xian directly said coldly, "Wait for further notice."
He hung up without giving the agent a chance to argue.
The next second, his cold gaze swept towards Secretary Jin.
Secretary Jin, who was already panicking, was suddenly startled and took a step back.
Tang Jun immediately stepped forward to protect her, angrily saying, "I see you're determined to defend this woman today. I now suspect you're planning to make Secretary Jin take the fall for her!"
"But unfortunately, Secretary Jin has never had any contact with people from rival companies! Those two days, she was either at the company or at home!"
Secretary Jin also calmed down a bit, looking at Qin Xian with a grievance in her heart, but her tone was firm and unwavering.
"If Mr. Qin doesn't trust me, I'm willing to accept any investigation!"
According to general investigation procedures, they would definitely need to investigate Secretary Jin's recent whereabouts and all her electronic devices.
From Tang Jun's statement earlier, it could be confirmed that Secretary Jin had not met anyone from the other company.
But for Secretary Jin to dare to say this, it meant she hadn't left any evidence.
Could it be that no clues were left on her electronic devices either?
Qin Xian was frowning in thought.
[I was wondering why she was so confident, so this is how it was designed!]
Qin Xian immediately pricked up his ears, realizing he didn't need to think anymore.
[I didn't expect it to be so perfectly planned.]
Qin Xian: Stop marveling and just say it!
[The email was sent on the morning of the 12th, but if they check her computer, even if they use technology to recover all deleted records, they won't find anything.]
Qin Xian's heart tightened. How was this possible!
[Because she actually used that idiot Tang Jun's computer to send it. Tang Jun trusts her completely, never guards against her in the office, and even his computer password is her birthday.]
[This way, even if she's suspected, nothing can be found on her computer.]
[Even in the worst-case scenario, if the rival company betrays her, the investigation would only lead to Tang Jun.]
Qin Xian's expression had completely changed, his unfriendly gaze sweeping from Secretary Jin to Tang Jun.
[However, she left one flaw. Probably because she was too confident in her position in the company.]
Qin Xian immediately focused on listening, wondering what the flaw was.
But Ji Fei didn't continue her train of thought.
["Forget it. I know these secrets but can't speak them out. In the end, apart from Sister Wei possibly uncovering a few issues through investigation, it's of little consequence to Secretary Jin. Let's just end this pointless charade quickly."]
Qin Xian's eyes flickered slightly as he inwardly scoffed.
Indeed, it was a farce!
"Call the IT department up here. We need to examine Secretary Jin's electronic devices."
