Chapter 17: Shut Down and Rectification

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When she returned to the apartment, Qiao Zhen realized that Nuonuo seemed to be friendlier to Eric.

After having a simple meal with the two of them and instructing Qiao Yinuo to be gentler in her training, Qiao Zhen started working.

Qiao Zhen went to the study room, took out her computer, and started typing. She easily hacked into Qiao’s company.

She found the cemetery development project and looked at it carefully. It was full of loopholes. It turned out that this project was a violation of regulations. They really did dare to start work without even completing the procedures.

God was really helping her. They really deserved it for having so many loopholes.

Qiao Zhen stretched her waist and lightly tapped on the computer. She packed up all the remaining procedures for the cemetery development project and sent an anonymous letter to report it to the government.

As expected, the project was ordered to stop the next day for rectification.

When Qiao Zhen received the news, her red lips curled up slightly.

“Perfect.”

On Monday, Qiao Zhen appeared at The Gong company again with Qiao Yinuo.

Qiao Zhen had just stepped into the second floor of the company when Qiao Yuan appeared in front of her. He did not look well and his black circles were obvious. He looked like he had aged three years. He questioned Qiao Zhen with a ball of fire in his heart.

“Qiao Zhen, did you reported the cemetery project? Unfilial daughter!”

Qiao Zhen blinked her eyes and spread out her hands. Her face was filled with confusion. She could not understand what they were saying at all.

She deliberately asked a question in a mocking manner.

“What are you talking about? Why didn’t I know? Did your project get suspended? That’s too unfortunate.”

“Qiao Zhen, you’re the only one who could have done this. We’re a family. Why are you so insensible?”

Her stepmother, Wu Tong, also chimed in and scolded her for not following the rules and disrespecting her elders in front of everyone. She wanted to make her look bad in the company.

“Since everyone knows about this, why am I the only one who can do it?”

Qiao Zhen said in confusion and shrugged. “Do you think I’m very good? Then I have to thank you for your praise.”

“You! Qiao Zhen, how did you become like this?”

Wu Tong clutched her chest with a pained expression, as if Qiao Zhen’s attitude had hurt her heart.

More and more people were watching the show. Some of the higher-ups saw the situation and recognized the young master’s grandparents at a glance.

In order to please the young master, they looked at each other and knew what each other was thinking.

They started to scold Qiao Zhen regardless of the reason.

“Qiao Zhen, what are you doing? You’ve just entered the company and you’ve already caused such a big mess? It’s simply affecting the company’s image!”

The people around started to mutter among themselves.

At this moment, Eric rushed over with Gong Jue. When he saw that Qiao Zhen was being bullied, Eric quickly broke free from Gong Jue’s hand and ran over.

Eric stood on Qiao Zhen’s side and didn’t like the so-called grandparents at all.

“My mommy already said she didn’t know. It was you evildoers who complained first! Do you think she’s easy to bully?”

Qiao Yuan was so angry that his face turned red. “You! What did you call her? Mommy? ! Don’t you even recognize your own mother? Or did this b*tch give you some kind of drug? !”

Eric seemed to shrink back a little from their fierce words and tugged at Gong Jue’s clothes.

“Daddy… They’re angry at me… They often do this to me when you’re not around…”

Qiao’s parents:”…”

They didn’t!

But Gong Jue’s expression was already ugly.

“Eric, how did you learn to lie at such a young age? Was it taught by Qiao Zhen?”

Wu Tong tried her best to push the blame onto Qiao Zhen and even kindly advised him, “We’re your grandparents and your family. Only we can treat you well. How can you speak for outsiders?”

Eric snorted and didn’t answer.

Seeing his uncooperative attitude, Qiao Yuan could only turn to Gong Jue and complain.

“Mr. Gong, I heard that you put Eric at Qiao Zhen’s place? Yesterday, Qiao Zhen even instigated Eric to fight and hurt Ji Xuan!”

Speaking up to this point, Qiao Yuan also praised Qiao Yu and belittled Qiao Zhen.

“Xiao Yu is so gentle and well-educated. Look at Qiao Zhen, what has Eric become after putting him there for a day!”

Eric put his hands on his hips and took a step forward. “Ji Xuan is so shameless. He chased after Qiao Yu and pestered my mommy. He’s two-timing her. What a perfect match for such a cheater with Qiao Yu!”

Qiao Yu heard the discussion and rushed over through the crowd.

When she heard Eric talk about her like this, she hated him even more. However, she could only endure it and pretend to be sad.

“Eric, how can you say that? You weren’t like this in the past. Why are you so rude and unreasonable now? Who taught you this?”

These words were obviously hinting that Qiao Zhen was deliberately leading the child astray.

However, when Gong Jue heard her say this about Eric, his expression turned colder.

He looked at Qiao Yu and asked coldly, “What’s going on with the cemetery project? I never said to let the Qiao family start construction.”
