Song Qinian had always upheld the principle of not offending others if they didn't offend her.
She didn't want to be enemies with Lin Lanxing, but first there was Jia Shu, and then Shen Yushu.
Lin Lanxing had repeatedly set traps for her, so she saw no reason to tolerate it any longer.
Compared to herself, Lin Lanxing was more afraid of others knowing about her relationship with Shen Chiyan.
After all, even if Shen Chiyan didn't love her, they had been married for three years legally.
As expected, Lin Lanxing's expression couldn't have been uglier.
She glared at Song Qinian, wishing she could devour her flesh and drink her blood. "Song Qinian, do you think by marrying Brother Chiyan through underhanded means, and by having relations with him, you can replace my sister's position in Brother Chiyan's heart? I'm telling you, it's impossible!"
Lin Lanxing laughed in anger. "Brother Chiyan will never love you. The only reason he touches you is to relieve his desires. Once my sister wakes up, you, the substitute, will be like a drowning dog!"
Song Qinian's reaction was not as agitated as Lin Lanxing had imagined. Her expression was calm, making Lin Lanxing seem like an anxious dog jumping over a wall.
Her phone vibrated again. Song Qinian looked down.
"It's a snail, and it's already climbed up. You have one minute to get up here immediately."
Shen Chiyan seemed impatient, his words filled with anger.
Song Qinian dared not delay any longer and went straight to the eighteenth floor.
Lin Lanxing watched Song Qinian's slender, petite figure, clenching her fists, her eyes filled with hatred.
In the CEO's office.
Song Qinian saw that Shen Chiyan was wearing a white tie today and knew he was in a good mood, breathing a slight sigh of relief.
This was their first meeting since their passionate encounter in the car last time. Song Qinian's cheeks were a little flushed, but mostly she felt apprehensive.
She wondered what kind of reaction Shen Chiyan would have to her confession.
However, Shen Chiyan spoke, not mentioning that day at all.
"How long have you been in the planning department?"
Song Qinian was stunned for a moment, then seriously counted, "Fifty days."
Shen Chiyan snorted lightly. "You're quite something. As soon as you joined the planning department, you got rid of two employees and one manager."
Song Qinian: "..."
"I think you're more suited to be in the CEO's office. Starting tomorrow, you'll come back and continue to be my secretary."
Upon hearing this, Song Qinian's face turned ashen.
Did Shen Chiyan know she liked him, and therefore wanted to drive her out of Ding Sheng Group?
It wasn't surprising that Song Qinian thought this way. When she was Shen Chiyan's secretary, she was basically left to her own devices.
She held the title of secretary, but in reality, she wasn't assigned any work.
Not to mention, she didn't get paid.
Seeing Song Qinian's expression, Shen Chiyan's handsome face turned cold.
"What? You're not willing?"
Didn't Song Qinian like him? Why would she react this way if she stayed by his side?
Could it be that what she said about liking him that day was all lies?
Looking at Song Qinian's conflicted expression, a restless emotion surged in Shen Chiyan's chest. "If you're not willing, then get out!"
Seeing that Shen Chiyan had misunderstood, Song Qinian gestured anxiously, "I'm not unwilling."
"Then who are you putting on that face for?"
"I... I just wanted to ask if my salary would be the same as in the planning department if I return to the CEO's office?"
Shen Chiyan: "..."
So, her hesitation was just about the salary?
Heh... So in her eyes, he wasn't even as important as ten thousand yuan.
Song Qinian saw Shen Chiyan's dark expression and dared not make any further moves.
"What if I said there's no salary for working in the CEO's office?"
Song Qinian was deeply conflicted. Staying in the CEO's office was naturally good. If Shen Chiyan let her come to work every day, she could be by his side.
She was afraid Shen Chiyan would send her home to "serve a sentence."
Besides, even if she stayed by Shen Chiyan's side, she couldn't do it without money.
After considering everything, Song Qinian made up her mind.
"Then I'll continue to stay in the planning department!"
Shen Chiyan had not expected Song Qinian to value money more than him. His expression became terrifying.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in!"
The person who pushed the door open was Lin Lanxing. Lin Lanxing saw that Song Qinian was indeed in Shen Chiyan's office, her small face filled with anger. She gritted her teeth, then looked at Shen Chiyan. "Mr. Shen, I have something to tell you. Can you ask the irrelevant person to leave first?"
Shen Chiyan glanced at Lin Lanxing, then shifted his gaze to Song Qinian's small face. "You go out first."
Song Qinian looked at Lin Lanxing's smug and arrogant demeanor, clenched her fists, and left the CEO's office.
Facing the Lin family members in front of Shen Chiyan, she had never had a chance of winning.
As soon as Song Qinian left, Lin Lanxing changed as if she were a different person and said pitifully, "Brother Chiyan, have you fallen for Song Qinian?"
Shen Chiyan's face was expressionless. "This is the company, and it's working hours!"
"Of course I know, but I just feel it's unfair to my sister. If it weren't for Song Qinian's family, my sister wouldn't have been in a vegetative state for three years without waking up, and you wouldn't have married Song Qinian. How could you..."
"Enough!"
Seeing Shen Chiyan's anger, Lin Lanxing was still a little scared.
"For the sake of you being Qiuqiu's sister, I can overlook your actions during this period. If there's a next time, even being Qiuqiu's sister won't be a shield."
Lin Lanxing's heart trembled. What did Shen Chiyan mean by that?
Did he know about Lin Jiashu and Shen Yushu's matter?
"Your internship should be over. Go back to school early."
Lin Lanxing was incredulous. Her internship was not supposed to end for another week. Shen Chiyan was asking her to leave now, which clearly meant he wanted to kick her out of Ding Sheng Group as soon as possible.
He was still protecting Song Qinian!
Lin Lanxing was unwilling, but she didn't dare to defy Shen Chiyan.
As she left, she said sadly, "Brother Chiyan, thank you for letting me intern at Ding Sheng Group, but I still have something to say. My sister loves you so much. Honestly, have you been fair to her?"
Shen Chiyan's expression was solemn and terrifying.
Lin Lanxing's early termination of her internship caused a stir in the planning department.
"What's going on? This morning someone said they saw Song Qinian and Lin Lanxing arguing in a corner, and now she's leaving Ding Sheng Group. Could that rumor be true?"
"What rumor?"
"Anyone who goes against Song Qinian has a bad ending!"
"Yeah, first it was Xie Xueyi and Yang Hongbin, then Shen Yushu and Jiang Lili, and now Lin Lanxing!"
Jiang Lili was the one who had mocked Song Qinian that morning. She fell accidentally while going to the restroom, sprained her ankle, and took three days off.
"Could it be that Song Qinian truly has a god protecting her?"
"One or two incidents could be a coincidence, but so many incidents add up, it's terrifying. We'd better not provoke Song Qinian in the future."
