"It wasn't me. Why should I admit it? I won't admit it. I'm not wrong." He Qiuyang's face twisted in madness as she began to shout. The hatred in her eyes was undisguised. "Ye Yanxi. She did all this. It has nothing to do with me..."
Now that all the evidence was conclusive, He Qiuyang still stubbornly refused to admit it. The manager frowned and dialed the security department's phone number.
After working in the company for so many years, the manager still had a bit of mercy for He Qiuyang. So before the security guards arrived, she asked again, "Xiao He, are you going to admit that you did this, including all the previous things? If you admit your mistake, you might get a lighter punishment."
"It wasn't me. I'm not wrong. Manager, why don't you ask Ye Yanxi? She planned all this. She's been using all sorts of means to seduce the president on a daily basis. If the president wasn't temporarily blinded by her, how could he have kept her here until now?" He Qiuyang said unwillingly, angrily pointing at Ye Yanxi. "It's all this fox spirit. What's wrong with me trying to drive her out of the company?"
He Qiuyang had clearly lost control of her emotions. She was like a madwoman, lashing out at anyone in sight. Both the manager and Ye Yanxi frowned slightly.
In any case, it was impossible to communicate with her normally. She lived only in her own world.
When the security guards arrived at the office, He Qiuyang was still shouting unwillingly, "I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you arresting me? It's Ye Yanxi who's wrong. She forced me. It's all because of her."
He Qiuyang's voice in the office was filled with sobs, anger, and unwillingness. It wasn't until the security guards took her into the elevator that the sound was finally cut off.
The other colleagues in the Business Department watched this scene and sighed. At the same time, they understood what had happened. They never thought that He Qiuyang would do something like betraying the company. People really couldn't be judged by their appearance.
Looking at her crazy state now, they still felt a bit sorry, after all, they were colleagues.
After He Qiuyang was taken away, only Ye Yanxi and the manager were left in the office. The manager's tone softened a bit. She smiled apologetically at Ye Yanxi. "Xiao Ye, I almost believed He Qiuyang's words and misunderstood you just now. I hope you don't mind. Xiao He... sigh..."
"Manager, you don't need to apologize." Ye Yanxi smiled. "Is the truth out now? I'm still standing here at Chali."
"It's really a pity about Xiao He. How could she suddenly become like this?" The manager sighed. "Fortunately, we've figured out the truth and didn't misunderstand you."
Ye Yanxi knew very well that if she hadn't been more cautious and taken precautions in advance this time, she might have fallen into the trap that He Qiuyang had set up long ago. She might have been the one who couldn't defend herself in the end.
"Manager, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to work first. I still have some things to deal with."
"Wait." The manager immediately called her back. "Something like this has happened to the company at this critical moment. We need to re - formulate the plan with the Italian company. He Qiuyang was the main translator for this case before. Now that she's in this situation and can no longer do this job, so from now on, you'll be the main translator."
"Is that okay?" Ye Yanxi frowned. "I was also involved in this matter. It might not be appropriate for me to be the main translator."
"You're innocent. There's no question of appropriateness." The manager's tone was very decisive. "It's settled. You'll be the main translator this time. Just focus on your work. I'll handle the rest."
Ye Yanxi lowered her head and thought for a while before agreeing. "Okay then."
"Good. It's decided. Go and get busy."
After leaving the office, Ye Yanxi let out a sigh of relief. Soon, her colleagues surrounded her and bombarded her with questions about what had happened. Ye Yanxi just nodded with a smile and didn't answer.
The truth was out, and He Qiuyang had been arrested. If she said anything more, it would seem like she was gloating. Anyway, the company would post an announcement soon, and everything would be clear then.
When she returned to her seat, Ye Yanxi calmed herself down. Only then did she notice that her back was soaked with sweat, and there was also sweat on her palms.
Although she had mustered up the courage before entering the office and had strong evidence in hand, she was still nervous. After all, this was the first time she had used means to protect her own interests.
In the past, she had always adhered to the principle of "if others don't offend me, I won't offend them." But was this time an active attack and a challenge on her part?
After being taken to the Jiang family by Yan Zhen, she had understood many things. If someone really wanted to frame you, just avoiding them would only make them more aggressive. Unless she became strong enough to make them give up.
However, Ye Yanxi was still very confused. Could He Qiuyang really have planned this all by herself? She wasn't wealthy enough to come up with such a vicious plan just to get rid of her and have her fired from the company and held legally responsible.
Just as Ye Yanxi was lost in thought, the screen of He Qiuyang's phone on the table lit up. Maybe she had set it to silent before, and no one else had noticed that her phone was still on the table.
Ye Yanxi took a look and found that the number calling He Qiuyang wasn't saved in the contacts.
As if thinking of something, Ye Yanxi wrote down the number and tried to search for it on her own phone. To her surprise, a name popped up.
It was He Man.
He Qiuyang's accomplice was actually He Man. If He Man was there to give advice, it wasn't strange that she could come up with such a vicious plan.
The phone screen on the table lit up persistently for a while and then went out. He Man didn't call again.
Ye Yanxi stared blankly at He Qiuyang's phone, and her heart sank for a moment.
Sixteen years ago, He Man had used means to take away everything that originally belonged to her. Sixteen years later, she was still repeating the same tricks... and even trying to get rid of her. All this made Ye Yanxi's heart turn cold in an instant.
If she didn't fight back, and let He Man target her like this, who knew what else she would do in the future. If it affected the people around her because of this, then... Thinking of this, a flash of hatred flashed in Ye Yanxi's eyes.
Over the years, what He Man had done to her was enough for her to see He Man's true nature clearly. She was ruthless and scheming, and just thinking about it made Ye Yanxi feel chilled.
At the same time, the news that He Qiuyang had been taken away quickly reached Xiao Yu's office. At this time, Fang Xu was still pacing anxiously in Xiao Yu's office, worried that Ye Yanxi would be fired from the company. He still wanted to persuade Xiao Yu to help Ye Yanxi.
Before he could do anything, the news that He Qiuyang had been taken away by the security guards came. The head of the security department personally reported this matter to Xiao Yu.
Since this matter was of great importance and also involved the Italian company, the head of the security department had mustered up the courage to call the president's office and briefly told Xiao Yu about He Qiuyang's situation.
At the same time, he also wanted to seek Xiao Yu's opinion on how to deal with He Qiuyang.
After the head of the security department finished speaking, Xiao Yu immediately gave an order without hesitation. "He Qiuyang's behavior is extremely bad and has seriously damaged the company's interests. This matter has violated the company's regulations. Hand it over directly to the legal department, and ask them to conduct a thorough investigation to see if there are any other accomplices."
The person on the other end agreed timidly, and Xiao Yu hung up the phone.
Fang Xu's mind was still in a daze. He couldn't believe that the matter had been resolved like this. In the end, it was He Qiuyang who was arrested, and Ye Yanxi was safe and sound.
So Fang Xu immediately asked curiously, "President, how did Translator Ye do it?"
Xiao Yu just glanced at him indifferently. "Fang Xu, you've been in my office for half an hour. There will be an inspection for the case you're in charge of in half an hour. Are you sure you still want to waste your time here?"
Reminded by Xiao Yu, Fang Xu immediately looked at his watch. Then he let out a wail. There weren't even half an hour left. There were actually less than twenty minutes left. If he left now, he might still be able to make it.
"I'll leave right away." Fang Xu replied and left the president's office like a whirlwind.
Judging from Xiao Yu's personality, if he really missed the inspection, Xiao Yu would probably settle old and new scores together and throw him directly onto a deserted island to live.
As for Ye Yanxi's matter, he could ask someone else.
After Fang Xu left the office in a hurry, Xiao Yu looked up and smiled. His little Xi really didn't disappoint him.
He opened the company's internal chat software and looked at Ye Yanxi's lit - up avatar. Xiao Yu sent a message: You did a good job this time.
In the past, Ye Yanxi would immediately reply to his messages. But this time, he stared at the avatar frame for a long time, and Ye Yanxi didn't reply. He couldn't help but frown slightly.
Could it be that Ye Yanxi was angry because he hadn't helped her when she was in trouble?
In a secluded stairwell, Ye Yanxi was leaning against the handrail and making a phone call. At this moment, she didn't know that Xiao Yu had sent her a message, let alone that he thought she was angry and was waiting for her reply.
She dialed the number on her phone. It only rang twice before it was answered.
A happy voice came from the receiver, even a bit disbelieving. "Xiao Xi, is that you? You're calling me?"
Ye Yanxi composed herself and replied in a low voice after a while. "It's me!"
"That's great, Xiao Xi. You finally decided to call Mom."
