After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 459 - 318: Bird in a Cage_2

Fu Tingzhou lifted his hand to glance at his wristwatch, "Come in."

Tang Xi hesitated for a moment then walked into the CEO’s elevator.

At ten in the morning, Tang Xi walked into You Lili’s office and handed over her design drafts.

You Lili took a casual look, then her gaze became fixed.

Although Tang Xi was a genius in design, these two styles had captured You Lili’s attention at first glance, feeling that they could compete with the new products for the next quarter of the design department 2. The corners of her lips couldn’t help but curl up slightly, but on the surface, she said sternly, "Tang Xi, our work isn’t easy. I’ve been in the industry for more than a decade too. When I was new like you, facing difficulties from senior colleagues, I also endured and took each step one at a time. Gao Minjia is still your senior, your colleague. We are all from the same department; we should be united and friendly to each other."

Hearing this, Tang Xi merely smiled faintly.

"Director You, since you’ve finished looking at the drafts, I’ll be taking my leave."

She turned to walk away.

You Lili’s voice rose from behind her, "Tang Xi, I’ve seen your employment file. An ordinary background, divorced for years, raising a daughter. I don’t know how you came to the design department; your work is indeed brilliant, but you should know, as a non-professional designer, Fu Corporation can hire better than you, it’s not that they can’t do without you."

Tang Xi replied calmly, "Thank you for the reminder, Director You. I’ll keep that in mind."

In the break room.

Gao Minjia picked up her phone and dialed a number, her voice affectedly sweet, "Uncle, please help me. That Tang Xi is too bad, you have no idea how she bullied me. I’ve never been humiliated like this in my life!"

A man’s deep voice came from the other end, "Minjia, it’s just a big fuss between colleagues, not a big deal. I’ll call You Lili right away and give that female employee a good lesson!"

"No, Uncle, I want you to fire her! Uncle!" Gao Minjia cried out aggrievedly.

The man on the other end said, "Although I have the authority, I can’t just fire a female employee without any reason, especially since she hasn’t made any major mistakes."

Upon hearing this response, Gao Minjia immediately thought of an idea.

"Uncle, who said she hasn’t made a mistake? What if she... stole something?" As she spoke, Gao Minjia’s lips curved into a smile, and she immediately called Qian Lin, coming up with an idea. Qian Lin hesitated, but Gao Minjia immediately said, "Linlin, if you won’t even help me with this, how can I look after you in the future when I become the associate director?"

Qian Lin dared not refuse, but felt that this matter was very risky.

"Minjia, cool down. Tang Xi indeed deserves a lesson. But theft, once it gets out, Tang Xi’s reputation will be ruined, and after she leaves Fu Corporation, no other company will take her in. Isn’t this too extreme?"

Although Qian Lin didn’t like Tang Xi, as a single mother herself,

she felt a hint of empathy towards Tang Xi.

Hearing that Gao Minjia wanted to frame Tang Xi for office theft, she felt that Gao Minjia’s methods were too crazy.

And too malicious.

True, Qian Lin had banded together with Gao Minjia as ’sisters’, ’exploiting’ newcomers on average days, but she only wanted to take advantage of them. She didn’t want to resort to such ruthless tactics.

Moreover, it was Gao Minjia who had the grievances with Tang Xi, not her, Qian Lin.

The fact that she had spilled coffee on Tang Xi on behalf of Gao Minjia was already known to Tang Xi, and there was surveillance footage.

She couldn’t engage in such deceitful framing.

But Gao Minjia was about to become the associate director, and would be in charge. By not agreeing now, Gao Minjia would certainly hold a grudge, and make things difficult for her later. Qian Lin could only say, "Minjia, you can’t be impulsive with these things, we need to think long-term."

"Qian Lin, you think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re just afraid that if things go south, I’ll sell you out, right? But Qian Lin, as long as we succeed in firing Tang Xi, and I become the associate director, I can approve your designs directly in the future. Submissions for the new products next quarter are due soon, and you don’t have any this time, right? I just heard Lan Ke saying, You Lili has passed on both of Tang Xi’s design drafts. Our team submitted a total of seven works, and Tang Xi accounts for two."

Qian Lin’s face changed. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

This was embarrassing for her.

An experienced employee couldn’t compare to a non-professional newcomer.
