By the ti the news of Xu Feng’s arrest reached them, it was already noon the next day.
Officers He and ng personally ca to the company around noon to explain the situation to them face to face.
The person who attacked Shen Yi that day was indeed Xu Feng, but he was arrested by police officers from a different precinct.
After a night’s interrogation and the investigation of street caras by the police at Officer He’s station, they finally confird that the person who attempted to attack Shen Yi in the underground parking lot was the sa person who caused the injuries.
They even found bite marks from Big Yellow on Xu Feng’s leg. Even though he’s in jail, he still has his wits about him and insists that he only wanted revenge on Shen Yi out of anger, without ntioning any demands for money or other intentions.
The police couldn’t do much about this, so they returned to take another statent from Shen Yi to facilitate Xu Feng’s conviction and discuss compensation.
However, because Big Yellow was there, Shen Yi wasn’t actually hard, just a little scared, and knowing Xu Feng’s current situation and that he couldn’t pay compensation, Shen Yi waved it off and let the police handle it without seeking diation.
Compensation for what? She wasn’t hurt. Even if there was compensation, it wouldn’t be much, and she wasn’t short of money. Besides, given Xu Feng’s circumstances, he might not even have money to compensate, so rather than waste ti arguing, it was better to let the police handle the sentencing to avoid trouble.
The two officers nodded in agreent, finding this a simple resolution.
"I didn’t expect it to really be him," Shen Yi mused after the officers left.
[Xu Feng, who earned the nickna ’9.58 seconds,’ was convicted of intentional injury causing minor harm to one person and was sentenced to one year and six months in prison. Zhao Zhiyuan and others were found guilty of collecting debt through violent ans, which was deed cruel, resulting in severe injury. They were sentenced to various terms ranging from one year to four years and two months in prison.]
Listening to the narrative in his mind, Su Qing realized that this matter should end here. As for the compensation ntioned, the narrative didn’t elaborate, and he couldn’t be bothered to inquire further. It likely wouldn’t be resolved soon anyway.
"Who cares, he’s behind bars now. I’ll tell Sister Wen not to move out, and bring Big Yellow back to work. It should earn its keep instead of lazing around at ho. Also, tidy up and move back next door tonight. I’ve been sleeping on the sofa for two days, and my back’s about to give out!" Su Qing quickly voiced his demands.
Having an extra person at ho was quite uncomfortable, after all.
Most importantly, he felt that working at the company was already exhausting enough, and he didn’t expect to co ho and essentially beco soone’s nanny, which should co with extra pay.
As for Shen Yi, she might look glamorous, but she’s not very clean. She certainly doesn’t do any housework, just decoration here and there.
"What do you an? Are you kicking out?"
"I didn’t an that, I..."
"What do you an then?"
"I just think the situation is safe now since they arrested him..."
"You’re still kicking out? Fine, I’m selling my shares!"
"Stay! You must stay until the end of the year!"
For Shen Yi’s shalessness, he had no solution. After all, she was the financier.
While they were talking, Su Qing’s phone buzzed. It was Su He, asking if he was busy.
After replying that he wasn’t, a video call ca through.
"Brother~~ did you miss ? Your sister is free now!" As soon as the video call connected, Su He’s face popped up on the screen, cheerful and laughing as she walked.
"Eh, where did this little dark girl co from, who are you?" Su Qing blurted out.
At this point, Su He, on the video, looked much darker than the last ti. Clearly, the military training had so effect.
As soon as he finished speaking, Su He hung up the call, and imdiately, Shen Yi received a voice ssage from her.
"Sis-in-law, my brother is bullying . He said I’m dark!"
Shen Yi: "Um, I just looked too, you have tanned quite a bit!"
Su He: "...Wow, you...you two, hmph!"
Seeing Su He hang up the call again, the two exchanged glances and chuckled.
Soon afterwards, Su He abandoned the voice ssages for texts.
It wasn’t a big deal, just that her two-week military training had ended, and she was ecstatic and didn’t know how to express it. Having just completed the review parade, she was fully liberated.
anwhile, outside in the office area, the newcor Bai Hao was sitting opposite Feng Yan. He suddenly turned his head and asked quietly, "Feng Jie, who’s that guy that cos out frequently in the mornings? Is he from our departnt?"
Feng Yan looked up at him. Bai Hao, a young man who had just graduated from college this year, joined their departnt in September for a clerical position.
He had a good look, sowhat effeminate, sporting a hairstyle resembling those of idols on TV, about 175 cm tall, the type of guy young girls would fancy.
Typically, guys should prefer the sales departnt where the salary might be higher, albeit more demanding, but he chose their departnt instead.
"Oh, you an Xiao Su, he’s President Shen’s secretary," Feng Yan replied casually.
"I see, but I heard he’s only been with the company for a short ti, about two months. How did he beco the secretary?" Bai Hao continued to ask.
Feng Yan frowned slightly. She sensed a different aning in his words but still explained, "Not sure, President Shen appointed him personally, but Xiao Su is a nice person and gets along with everyone."
The aning was clear: everyone gets along well, so don’t bother probing. We may be colleagues, but we’re not that friendly yet.
Being new to the workforce, Bai Hao couldn’t catch such subtle hints and thought he had successfully gleaned so information.
So he continued, "I heard our company’s Big Yellow is favored by President Shen. Do you think she likes dogs? Does the company allow pets? I have a cat, a Ragdoll, very well-behaved. Can I bring it here?"
He had been with the company for almost half a month, and last week when Big Yellow ca to work, he saw it and initially thought it was just the boss’s interest. It wasn’t until he saw Su Qing yesterday that he realized there was another man in their departnt.
He noticed Su Qing would leisurely wander around during work hours and got curious, so he asked around and found out Big Yellow wasn’t President Shen’s but Su Qing’s.
Once he knew Su Qing had only been with the company for two months and initially worked in their departnt, he quickly devised a plan.
Of course, nobody inford him that President Shen was Su Qing’s "second aunt," mainly because Shen Yi had already scolded the departnt leaders once over this, so naturally, nobody would ntion it again.
Those who knew the truth, like Feng Yan and Old Wang, wouldn’t speak up either, one being savvy about interpersonal relations, the other having been criticized by the boss.
Even the company’s "Sleeping Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix" pair had only an average impression of Bai Hao; it wasn’t especially good. After all, they were only surface-level colleagues for now.
This led Bai Hao to believe that Su Qing didn’t have much skill, only that his dog was liked by President Shen, so he got lucky and beca a secretary, not needing to do any work and occasionally skipping work.
Especially after hearing departnt manager Cui Bo’s poor opinion of Su Qing, saying he was a sycophant, Bai Hao quickly ford other ideas.
If soone else could make it, why couldn’t he? Pleasing the boss was sothing he understood, having been trained in the student council.
Moreover, wasn’t his cat better-looking than a dog? Perhaps it could even model for the company, and if he managed to get the secretary position, he’d truly be soaring.
After all, what man doesn’t like beautiful won? He already had thoughts of replacing Su Qing.
"Probably not. Although the company doesn’t have a rule about bringing pets, it’s best not to," Feng Yan replied with a smile.
"I just noticed our departnt has more girls who might like cats. Besides, there’s already a precedent, and my work won’t be affected. Feng Jie, does President Shen like cats?" Bai Hao asked.
Feng Yan could already guess his intentions upon hearing this and replied plainly, "I’m not sure."
After a mont, she decided to give him a hint: "Xiao Bai, you just joined the company, focus on your work and try to familiarize yourself with your tasks quickly."
She might as well have said to just do your job properly and drop any improper considerations. No company appreciates employees cozying up to the boss right after joining.
"I understand, Feng Jie!"
