Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the Gu Corporation’s side, as the truth of the matter was revealed, Fang Qing’s Innocence was finally proven. Many employees came to apologize to Fang Qing one after another.
A person who had previously said bad things about her had been heard by her. He hurriedly explained himself, “Fang Qing, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you a little earlier. I didn’t expect Chicken and Wen Yan to be such people.”
Fang Qing did not pay much attention to the comments from the outside world. At most, she would just smile and let it go.
However, Chicken’s days were difficult to endure. Because she had collaborated with others, Chicken was already suspected of being a corporate spy. However, seeing that she still had a sick old mother to take care of, the Gu Corporation only fired her and did not call the police.
In fact, there was nothing in the box that the Wen family had sent over.
Chicken was still handling things at her workstation with a submissive look on her face. She could also feel the disdainful looks from the people around her. Wen Yan had promised her that she would give her a sum of money to treat her mother’s illness regardless of whether she succeeded or not. However, she could not contact the eldest daughter of the Wen family at all now, let alone get the money. When she thought about how she thought that her greed had cost her her hard-earned job… her regret was already evident in her words.
Fang Qing appeared in front of her out of nowhere. “How much money did she promise you?”
Chicken did not expect Fang Qing to ask this question first.
However, Chicken ignored her and continued to tidy up. “You don’t have to pretend to pity me.”
Fang Qing smiled when she heard this. She took out a card from her pocket and handed it to Chicken. “This is the relief money the company gave you. I hope you won’t do this kind of thing again in the future.”
Chicken looked at the card in Fang Qing’s hand with tears in her eyes. She felt that it was ironic. She did not expect that Fang Qing would hand her the money after she had failed in helping Wen Yan frame Fang Qing at the risk of going to jail.
Dignity was no longer a problem for Chicken. After all, her mother needed a large sum of money.
Fang Qing put the card in the box Chicken packed and left.
Chicken had been fired from the company after making a mistake. No matter how humane Gu Enterprise was, it would be impossible for her to get compensation. Fang Qing had paid for the money out of her own pocket. Fang Qing was not a kind person who would help others even if they bullied her. However, looking at Chicken like this, Fang Qing also thought of her mother.
However, Fang Qing was sure that no matter what situation she was in, she would not choose to use Chicken’s method to exchange for money.
After dealing with the matters here, Fang Qing went to Gu Cheng’s office. After reporting some daily matters, Gu Cheng finally smiled at Fang Qing for the past few days. “You’re quite capable. You can even get the surveillance tapes.”
Fang Qing chose to hide the truth. “I don’t know what’s going on either. It’s probably because there are too many righteous people and they can’t stand to see a little girl like me being bullied.”
After saying that, Fang Qing and Gu Cheng burst into laughter.
Fang Qing seemed to recall something as she asked Gu Cheng, “Why did you immediately refute Chicken that day? You didn’t suspect that I did it.”
When Gu Cheng heard this, he stopped smiling and looked at Fang Qing with a serious expression. “You’re not that kind of person.”
It was just a simple sentence, and Fang Qing felt as if her heart had been struck by something. She had not spent much time with Gu Cheng, but Gu Cheng still chose to believe in her. However, she did not tell Gu Cheng everything.
Gu Cheng sent people to investigate Fang Qing’s childhood, but for some reason, Cheng Zheng, who was known for his efficiency, seemed to have encountered some difficulty this time. He did not receive any response regarding Fang Qing’s background for a long time.
Gu Cheng looked at the woman in front of him, who was smiling sweetly. For the first time, he revealed a puzzled and probing look. In his memory, the little girl’s face overlapped with Fang Qing’s face. Gu Cheng could not help but find it funny. What was wrong with him? They were clearly not the same person.
Both of them had their own worries. Time was like a net, connecting thousands of unrelated things together. However, the final result was not necessarily satisfactory.
He did not know what kind of attitude Gu Cheng had towards Fang Qing. These few days, he had chosen to escape not only because Fang Qing was not the girl in his memory, but also because he did not know how to face her because his beautiful dream had been shattered.
At this point, the relationship between the two of them had reached a bottleneck. They were only waiting for an opportunity to get through this difficult period. However, no one knew when this opportunity would come and how long it would take.
