After Fang Siyan officially returned to Fangyuan Group, the staff of the group became much more stable.
Those who had caused trouble after Fang Siyan's accident had basically been fired by the Personnel Department.
As for those who couldn't be fired, Fang Siyan made a note of them.
He directly included several small - time shareholders who were two - faced in the next step of his rectification strategy.
Only after the company was purged could the power fall into Fang Siyan's hands.
Since he had been forced into this position by those people, he was determined to hold it firmly.
Ding Ruola didn't go to work for a week because of her poor mental state.
The affairs of the studio were in good hands with Ning Qing and Du Gaosi, so there wouldn't be any problems.
"Baby, do you want to go on a trip?"
A trip?
Ding Ruola thought it might be a bit excessive to go on a trip after having rested at home for a whole week.
"Since you haven't been to work for a long time, a little longer won't matter."
Noticing that the girl was still hesitating, the man rolled his eyes and immediately came up with a way to persuade Ding Ruola.
"Ruoruo, let's go out and have fun, and get rid of all the toxins accumulated in these days."
Ding Ruola really needed a rest. If she continued to work, Fang Siyan would be worried.
It was quite normal for a girl to react like this after going through such an event.
If Ding Ruola had come back without crying or making a fuss and just got back to work seriously, Fang Siyan would have suspected that she was really ill.
The two agreed to go on a trip together.
As for the destination, Fang Siyan would decide.
Even when they got to the high - speed railway station, Ding Ruola still had no idea where they were going.
"We're going to Shenzhen!"
Shenzhen had a booming economy. As a coastal city, its export business was quite profitable.
Fang Siyan had always wanted to conduct an on - site inspection there but never had the chance.
This time, taking the opportunity of the trip to check out the market was a good option.
If he sent someone else, the information he got back would definitely be different from what he could discover through his own on - site inspection.
"What's that store?"
"It's the first Apple store in China!"
So that's where it was.
Ding Ruola couldn't help but sigh. The economic system here was a bit different from that in Beishi.
There were more new and exciting things here.
"I heard there's a great arcade in Harbour City!"
Fang Siyan didn't like playing games, and Ding Ruola was terrible at them.
Having nothing else to do, they finally went to the arcade.
Since they were out, taking pictures was a must.
Fang Siyan put his arm around Ding Ruola and took a selfie. Their heads were so close that Ding Ruola's little face was almost distorted.
That was the only selfie of the two of them. The rest were all photos of Ding Ruola taken by Fang Siyan.
The girl was born for the camera. She looked so harmonious in the photos.
Ding Ruola was busy playing games. It wasn't until she got out of the arcade that she noticed Fang Siyan had posted on Weibo.
[Fang Siyan: A gift for my fans!]
Below was a nine - square grid of photos. The middle one was their selfie, and the surrounding ones were all of Ding Ruola.
[Ma Yelvle: This isn't a gift for fans. It's just a big bowl of dog food!]
[Zhang Jun: Boss, is this considered a business trip at company expense?]
After seeing Zhang Jun's comment, Fang Siyan immediately called him.
"No year - end bonus for you!"
Zhang Jun never thought that just a few words would cost him his year - end bonus.
"Really?"
Zhang Jun was just joking, and Fang Siyan was just kidding around, but Ding Ruola took it seriously.
"Don't worry! Do I look like someone who would deduct employees' bonuses?"
"Yes, you do!"
Ding Ruola made a face at Fang Siyan and then hugged her phone to continue reading the comments.
She had never felt so satisfied before. It turned out that netizens weren't that exaggerated. Most of the comments were blessings for the two of them.
Ding Ruola probably didn't know that the comments had been moderated.
Fang Siyan had signed a cooperation agreement with the Weibo platform. As soon as he posted on Weibo, the platform would control the comments below.
Any comments that attacked Ding Ruola or spoke ill of the two of them would be deleted immediately.
Even if people said he was controlling the comments, he didn't care.
Anyway, the Weibo platform wanted the traffic from him and Ding Ruola as well as his money.
"Old Fang, are we going back so soon?"
Ding Ruola didn't want to go back. She had had so much fun these days. Thinking about going back to work overnight again, she felt a bit scared.
"Yes! If you like it here, we can spend Chinese New Year here and invite Mom and Dad over. It's warm here!"
It wasn't a bad idea, but Ding Ruola was worried that her parents wouldn't like the local food.
Her parents had a strong taste and loved spicy food.
There was hardly any chili in the local dishes.
On their way back, Fang Siyan received a phone call.
Ding Ruola noticed that Fang Siyan's expression wasn't very good.
After they got off the high - speed train, Zhang Jun came to pick them up.
Fang Siyan sent Ding Ruola home first and then went back to the company with Zhang Jun.
There were several criminal policemen in the company.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Fang?"
"Yes!"
"We're handling a criminal case and hope you can cooperate!"
Lin Ke was dead!
Hearing this news, Fang Siyan's pupils dilated involuntarily. He crossed his hands on the table.
"What did you do on January 8th?"
"I went to see Lin Ke!"
He knew there was no need to lie about this. He had indeed gone to see Lin Ke that day.
He had found that although the people who had kidnapped Ding Ruola were sent by Bai Lijingming, they had all acted through Lin Ke's arrangements.
This was enough to show that in order to get Fang Siyan, Lin Ke was willing to do anything. She had even attacked Ding Ruola twice, and maybe even...
"What did you talk about?"
Fang Siyan said that they had just had a simple conversation, but finally they had an argument. He told the police that he had left before things got completely out of hand.
"Is there anyone who can testify?"
Testimony?
There really wasn't any. Lin Ke lived in another faculty residential area. The area was built a long time ago and hadn't been renovated for a long time. There were no surveillance cameras and no gatekeepers.
"No!"
If there had been evidence, the police wouldn't have come to Fang Siyan.
Fang Siyan had already realized that someone had deliberately made him go to see Lin Ke, and this person was the murderer.
But there was one thing that didn't add up. The person he suspected was currently abroad and couldn't return to China.
As soon as he came back, he would be arrested at the airport or by the customs.
So the murderer of Lin Ke might not be Bai Lijingming.
"Is that all?"
"Mr. Fang, please keep your phone on these days. We'll contact you if there's any further progress."
After seeing off the policemen, Fang Siyan returned to his office.
He ordered Zhang Jun to keep this news under wraps. The company had just stabilized. If more negative events were exposed, the shares of Fangyuan Group would plummet.
This was going to be a tough battle!
