"Manager He, isn't that unfair?" Liu Shu frowned. "You personally hired her, of course I wouldn't doubt her abilities, that's why I didn't check."
He Suyan's gaze was icy. "Since you knew I hired her, why didn't you tell me before firing her on your own?" "I…" Liu Shu was truly buried alive in the pit she had dug herself; she was furious.
"Then tell me, Su Mianmian has made such a big mistake, how do you plan to handle it? Just ignore it and let it go? How can you manage the other employees in the company like this?"
He Suyan coldly raised his eyes, about to say something, when Su Mianmian called out, "Manager He." Everyone looked at Su Mianmian, who stood there with her back straight, her tone neither humble nor arrogant. "Manager He, the document that Deputy Manager Liu has is indeed not my translation."
She took out her phone and slowly opened the image. "Just in case, before handing it to Deputy Manager Liu this morning, I specifically saved a copy of the document on my phone. This is the content I translated last night."
While He Suyan was looking at the contents of Su Mianmian's phone, everyone around was stunned, probably not expecting that Su Mianmian had actually made a backup on her phone. Liu Shu panicked. "A backup on your phone? Su Mianmian, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
Su Mianmian smiled at Liu Shu. "Deputy Manager Liu suddenly started questioning me, and I forgot for a moment." "You!" "Enough!" He Suyan coldly reprimanded. "Everyone, disperse. Deputy Manager Liu, Su Mianmian, you two come to my office!"
After speaking, He Suyan led the way to the office. Liu Shu glared at Su Mianmian fiercely and followed. Just as Su Mianmian was about to follow, Zeng Ke pulled her back and whispered, "Manager He may be a bit cold, but he's not a bad person. Don't worry."
Su Mianmian nodded gratefully to Zeng Ke and followed. The first thing He Suyan did upon entering the office was to take off his suit jacket and drape it over the back of his chair before slowly looking at Liu Shu. "Deputy Manager Liu, you go first."
Liu Shu bit her bright red lips. "What should I say?" He Suyan's tone was icy. "Of course, I'm talking about how Su Mianmian's translation was replaced."
Liu Shu raised her chin, refusing to admit it. "How would I know? I saw this on my desk this morning."
He Suyan coldly reminded her, "The company has internal surveillance. Deputy Manager Liu, if I insist on a thorough investigation, do you think you can find out who's behind this?" Liu Shu's lips moved, but she didn't dare say anything more.
He Suyan's stern gaze fixed on Liu Shu. "I don't want to see you shoot yourself in the foot again, especially not when it damages Hua Rui's reputation." Liu Shu stamped her foot. "Understood!"
With that, she swayed her hips and strode out in her high heels. He Suyan watched Liu Shu disappear completely before giving Su Mianmian a cold glance. "Now it's your turn to speak," Su Mianmian said, feeling He Suyan's gaze was too cold to meet her eyes.
"Manager He knew perfectly well that the translation was switched by Deputy Manager Liu, why didn't you thoroughly investigate and clear my name?" He Suyan sat at his desk, casually picking up a document. "Can you bear the consequences of clearing your name?
For example, it might escalate the conflict between you and Deputy Manager Liu, making her target you even more." He Suyan was blunt. "Of course, if you don't want to intern at Huarui anymore, I can grant your request, but in that case, clarifying things would seem even less necessary."
Su Mianmian was speechless for a moment. "What if I don't pursue Deputy Manager Liu, and she still targets me?" He Suyan made a note somewhere in the document, looked up at Su Mianmian, his gaze cold.
"Don't you have the ability to foresee things? You knew the translation would be sabotaged, and you made a backup on your phone beforehand. You can do the same thing in the future." Su Mianmian's dark eyes darted around; there was an element of sarcasm in He Suyan's words.
Of course, she wouldn't tell He Suyan that it was only after Gu Yizhou reminded her last night that she had specifically prepared a backup plan this morning. Su Mianmian pursed her lips, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"I don't have the ability to foresee things, I just kept an eye out, and I didn't expect it to come in handy." Hearing this, He Suyan looked away from her and continued reading the documents.
"With that kind of mindset, you should improve your professional skills. The translation on your phone that you showed me earlier, while generally flawless, had some parts that were too stiff and not easy to understand."
He Suyan wasn't wrong about this; Su Mianmian herself had felt some difficulty translating it last night. Her head was lowered. "I understand, Manager He." He Suyan nodded. "You can go now."
Su Mianmian turned around, and as she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something. "Manager He, what you meant was that I can still come to the company tomorrow?" He Suyan didn't even look up. "Until I tell you you're fired, you must report to the company on time."
Su Mianmian said "Oh," and before being chilled by his icy aura, she closed the office door for him. Su Mianmian returned to her workstation amidst the curious stares of everyone. Xia Qing was the first to ask her, "How are you, Mianmian? Are you alright?"
Su Mianmian shook her head, "I'm fine." "Liu Yaojing wronged you, didn't you demand a thorough investigation?"
Su Mianmian looked at the computer, "There's nothing to investigate. I also had my own problems. It's strange, I clearly saved a backup on the computer last night, how come I can't find it?"
Xia Qing pursed her lips, "Maybe you were busy and forgot, thinking you had it saved. Fine, it's better if you don't pursue it, lest the conflict with Liu Yaojing deepen." Although Su Mianmian had won a battle, she didn't feel particularly happy, and spent the afternoon sullen.
At the end of the workday, she walked out alone. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Zeng Ke caught up from behind. "Su Mianmian, the misunderstanding's all cleared up, so why do you still seem unhappy?"
Su Mianmian shook her head. "It's nothing, I guess I worked too late last night and I'm a little tired." Zeng Ke expressed understanding and comforted Su Mianmian.
"After Manager He comes back, Liu Shu won't be so arrogant anymore. If you're quick-witted in your work, she won't target you so much in time."
Su Mianmian nodded, about to say something, when her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID, said goodbye to Zeng Ke, and answered while walking towards the roadside. "Gu Yizhou?"
Gu Yizhou's deep voice came through the receiver. "See that black BMW with its hazard lights on up ahead? Get in." Su Mianmian looked suspiciously at the inconspicuous BMW on the road, took a few steps forward, and sure enough, saw Gu Yizhou sitting upright in the back seat.
Excitedly, she opened the door and slipped inside. "You bought a new car again?" Gu Yizhou replied. "Didn't you complain about my BL and Maybach? So I specially bought a simpler model for picking you up from get off work." Su Mianmian pouted her pink lips and retorted softly.
"How could I complain? It's just that I just started working and wanted to avoid some unnecessary trouble." Gu Yizhou ruffled Su Mianmian's hair. "You want to avoid trouble, but I don't want you to tire your legs, so we had to find a compromise."
Knowing Gu Yizhou was always thoughtful, Su Mianmian leaned in and planted a kiss on his lips. "Thank you, you're so good to me." Gu Yizhou, unexpectedly receiving a sweet kiss, smiled and pulled the girl onto his lap.
"You're being so proactive today, looks like you're in a good mood." Su Mianmian pouted, snuggling into Gu Yizhou's arms, her voice sullen. "You guessed wrong, I'm actually in a bad mood."
Gu Yizhou noticed the odd tone in her voice, his thick brows furrowing. "Didn't Snow White not get enslaved by her wicked boss today? Why are you still unhappy?" Su Mianmian chuckled, hugging Gu Yizhou even tighter.
"Not only did the wicked boss not enslave Snow White, she also slapped him in the face!"
