Chapter 278: Chapter 251 Framing
Gu Group.
Qiao Yuxian almost forgot about the drunken incident until she recalled it on her way to work.
She thought she would be kicked out as soon as she got to the company.
Unexpectedly, the entire morning passed peacefully, and nothing happened.
An Zhiyi came to work as usual, with a scarf wrapped around his neck.
When Qiao Yuxian passed by his workstation, he shivered slightly.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at him calmly, ignored him, and returned to her own workstation.
The morning went by without incident, and after lunch, Qiao Yuxian went back to the office to rest for a while. As a result, she began to feel drowsy.
All the way to the afternoon work hours, Qiao Yuxian struggled to stay awake, sitting at her desk in a daze.
It seemed that waking up in the morning so spirited was an illusion; the real drowsiness was now hitting her.
She forced herself to finish a bit of work.
Finally, when she couldn’t fight the sleepiness anymore, she told Zhao Meng and then set up a makeshift cover on her desk to lay her head down and nap.
But... she had only slept for about five minutes when Zhao Meng woke her up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw He Xin walking toward her, so she immediately sat up straight and resumed working.
He Xin looked somewhat serious as she stood beside her.
Qiao Yuxian looked up at her and smiled, "Supervisor He, what’s the matter?"
He Xin looked at her red eyes, which clearly showed she had just fallen asleep. She said nothing but, "The manager is in the director’s office and wants you to come over."
Qiao Yuxian’s eyelashes fluttered lightly; she somewhat understood what it was about, but still asked, "What’s the matter?"
He Xin remained silent.
Zhao Meng also asked, "What happened?"
He Xin sighed slightly while looking at Qiao Yuxian and said, "Nole said this morning that last night you tried to crawl into his bed."
Zhao Meng’s eyes widened suddenly, staring at He Xin in shock.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t react much, just wore a speechless expression, "And then?"
"He said he refused, but you kept pestering him, which led to him falling and breaking his wrist last night," He Xin whispered, "He came to the company from the hospital this morning and said if the company doesn’t handle it well, he won’t cooperate with us."
Zhao Meng listened, then looked at Qiao Yuxian.
Seeing the disgust on Qiao Yuxian’s face, she turned to He Xin and whispered, "He said Qiaoqiao crawled into his bed?"
"Yes." He Xin nodded.
Zhao Meng was utterly shocked and speechless, "What is this nonsense? Can he even mention our Yu Xian’s name?"
He Xin remained silent.
Qiao Yuxian looked at Zhao Meng and smiled, "Well, he is a major client from M Continent, a family enterprise. He’s qualified to mention my name."
"Qiao Yuxian, how can you still joke at a time like this?" Zhao Meng whispered.
Qiao Yuxian chuckled lightly, "Can’t you tell I’m pissed?"
Zhao Meng looked at her without speaking.
Although Qiao Yuxian was smiling, her eyes were calm and cold.
She was indeed angry.
Qiao Yuxian got up and looked at He Xin, "Supervisor He, let’s go."
"I’ll go too." Zhao Meng said.
"What can you do if you go?" He Xin replied.
"Well, I’m young and inexperienced, I want to see how someone can be this shameless." Zhao Meng said.
He Xin said nothing more and led them both to the director’s office.
They knocked and went in; Director Qian Huai, Manager Luo Yin Ning, and An Zhiyi were all sitting on the office sofa.
This morning, Nole had caused a commotion in Luo Yin Ning’s office for almost two hours.
He was still in her office, so Luo Yin Ning had to find an excuse to step out for now.
The three glanced at Zhao Meng when they came in but said nothing, only, "Sit."
Qiao Yuxian and Zhao Meng sat opposite them, with He Xin sitting beside An Zhiyi.
After they sat down, Luo Yin Ning looked at Qiao Yuxian and asked, "Did He Xin tell you?"
"Yes," Qiao Yuxian replied.
Seeing her calm demeanor, Luo Yin Ning smiled slightly and said, "We want to hear what you have to say."
Qiao Yuxian raised her eyebrows slightly.
Zhao Meng was surprised; she thought they would blame Qiao Yuxian directly and condemn her unilaterally.
Luo Yin Ning observed her raised eyebrow.
She was in her forties and had been managing the entire translation department at Gu Group for almost ten years.
She had seen all kinds of people.
But someone like Qiao Yuxian was a first.
So young, newly entered into society, calm and steady in the face of adversity. Even with a subtle aura of strength.
Even someone with her vast experience couldn’t surpass it.
Luo Yin Ning was curious.
Qiao Yuxian said, "I didn’t climb into his bed."
"Evidence," Luo Yin Ning said two words.
"Surveillance in the corridor outside the private room at Yu Jin Hotel," Qiao Yuxian replied.
Beside her, An Zhiyi smirked slightly.
"I tried contacting Yu Jin Hotel this morning," Luo Yin Ning said, "Last night’s surveillance had some problem and was automatically erased."
Zhao Meng furrowed her brows.
Qiao Yuxian looked at Luo Yin Ning without speaking.
Qian Huai had not spoken either, just listened.
An Zhiyi hadn’t spoken, but inwardly scoffed.
Luo Yin Ning said, "You should know that just saying no one will believe you. Evidence is the most powerful proof of your innocence."
"And if my innocence is proven, then what?" Qiao Yuxian asked, "Will you give up Nole’s cooperation?"
"That’s a company matter," Luo Yin Ning said, "If you’re innocent, the company wouldn’t wrong you. If you were wrongfully accused while doing your job for the company, the company would naturally protect you."
Luo Yin Ning looked at her, confident and said, "At Gu Group, people are more important than money. People are always the priority. But the premise is that you are innocent."
Qiao Yuxian was about to speak when An Zhiyi, who hadn’t spoken, said, "You can’t prove your innocence."
Everyone looked at him.
Qiao Yuxian also looked at him.
Luo Yin Ning asked, "Do you know something?"
"Manager, yes, I know a few things," An Zhiyi said, "I also stayed at the hotel last night. On the same floor as Nole. Last night there was an incident at Yu Jin Hotel, quite commotion. When I went out to check, I saw Qiao Yuxian at Nole’s room door. It looked like she was being pushed out of his room by Nole. But she kept pestering Nole, refusing to leave."
Qiao Yuxian looked at him and scoffed inwardly.
Luo Yin Ning looked at Qiao Yuxian and then at An Zhiyi, "And then?"
"Qiao Yuxian was dressed very revealingly, always trying to get close to Nole, who kept politely pushing her away," An Zhiyi said slowly, "Fearing unnecessary trouble, I quickly returned to my room, I don’t know what happened afterward."
Hearing his words, Zhao Meng suddenly stood up towards his direction, but Qiao Yuxian quickly pulled her back.
Zhao Meng paused and looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian wasn’t looking at her; her eyes were fixed on An Zhiyi, just using a little force in her hand to make Zhao Meng sit down.
Luo Yin Ning and Qian Huai glanced at Zhao Meng, seeing her ready-to-fight demeanor.
He Xin also looked at Zhao Meng, met her eyes, and slightly shook her head, signaling her to calm down...
