After the shoot, Li An’an called Chu Yichen, but no one answered. She had no choice but to call Xiao Zhang. “Xiao Zhang, is the CEO in the office today?” “Yes, but he’s in a foul mood. Everyone in the office is trembling in fear!”
Li An’an asked again, “Is there a woman with him?” She suspected that there was another woman and Chu Yichen was sick of her. That was why he wasn’t picking up her call.”
“No, but CEO Long is here. He’s very mysteriously stayed in the CEO’s office all morning. I wonder what sort of big projects they’re discussing.”
Li An’an felt guilty.
“By the way, An’an, are you guys filming on the island now? They’ve released the photos. Wow, the place is so beautiful. You’ve conquered everyone with roast meat, right? You’re so amazing!”
“How did you know?”
“The photos have all leaked out. There’s one of you guys at the bonfire party on the beach. It must have been secretly taken by a reporter. The photos are very popular online!”
Li An’an accidentally knocked her foot against the wardrobe. It hurt so much that she started tearing. Had she been discovered? In the last two days, she had been frightened again and again! She was on the verge of having a heart attack. “An’an, what’s wrong? Where did you hit yourself?”
Li An’an touched her toes. Her feet were bare, and the collision just then really hurt! She held her phone and gasped.
“I stubbed My toes against the closet! I, I…” Li An’an was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. She shouldn’t have called Xiao Zhang.
“An’an, don’t tell me the CEO doesn’t know about your participation in the contest? I say, you’re too bold. You abandoned your job and went to take part in the contest on your own. Do you know how powerful the company’s legal department is? It’ll skin you alive.”
“At worst they fire me!”
“Oh! you won’t get away that easily. Previously, there was someone in the company who was in a similar situation as you. Before he left, he didn’t get a single cent, and in fact had to compensate the company for more than 100,000 yuan. What a lesson!”
“So dark!” Li An’an was furious. With such a high salary, how much would she have to compensate?
“Yes, it’s that dark!”
Li An’an felt even more pain in her feet now, and along with that, her heart ached. She wasn’t afraid of falling out with Chu Yichen, but she was afraid of losing money! She had worked hard to earn every cent. If she lost everything to Chu Yichen and had to hand over the three children to him, she’d vomit blood and die!
“An’an, I’m hanging up. I think you should think about how to explain to the CEO now. It’s best if you were to apologize sincerely.”
Xiao Zhang quickly hung up the phone and stood up straight with a bitter expression. “CEO, would that be correct?”
She broke out in sweat. She didn’t understand why CEO Long had asked to see her so early in the morning. Besides, he had even asked her nicely, to lie to Li An’an. She hadn’t seen the photo at all! Moreover, it was CEO Long who had told her that Li An’an was filming on the island.
However, Li An’an had been scared half to death by her. She felt guilty! But guilt was nothing compared to the fear she felt, facing the CEO! She decided to lie to Li An’an. After all, this was a little game between her and the CEO.
Chu Yichen retracted his gaze from the phone and looked up at Xiao Zhang. He had heard their entire conversation clearly as Xiao Zhang had put the phone on speaker. He had quickly caught onto her weakness of being afraid of losing money.
He leaned back in his chair and pondered her miserly nature. She’d probably feel the pinch of losing even a penny. Since she valued having money so much, he decided to make her cough up every cent! “Well done! That’s all. Get back to work!”
Xiao Zhang felt as if she’d been granted amnesty and scurried away. What was going on between Li An’an and the CEO? They shouldn’t be making things difficult for a conscientious employee like her.
Li Cheng was called into the CEO’s office.
“Bring the contract signed by Li An’an to the company’s legal department!”
