"So, investigate, I don't believe there's nothing between this vixen and my husband."
Madam Bai gritted her teeth and snatched the phone.
"Wait."
Bai Hao suddenly waved his hand from the side, stopping his wife.
"What? Guilty conscience? Scared?"
Seeing him like this, Madam Bai frowned again.
"I've already called my secretary, she'll be here soon. She'll bring the communication records. Then, the three of us can verify if Miss Xia and I are innocent."
President Bai's voice was extremely cold. He was utterly disappointed in his unreasonable wife.
Just as the conflict erupted, he had quickly called his secretary and asked her to extract all evidence from the company's surveillance and accounts, and to bring it to him as quickly as possible.
Facing such a situation, he had to be able to prove his innocence, otherwise, this would be a stain on his life that could never be washed away.
"We'll wait, who's afraid of whom."
Madam Bai stiffened her neck, putting on an indifferent look.
As soon as she finished speaking, a young woman in her early twenties, looking around twenty, squeezed through the crowd outside the private room and rushed in, panting.
It was Bai Hao's secretary, He Ning.
"President Bai, I've brought the documents."
She said, handing the documents to Bai Hao.
"No need for me, give them directly to my wife."
Bai Hao refused to take them, looking at his wife with a mocking gaze.
"Give it here."
Madam Bai lunged forward, snatched the documents from He Ning's hand, and began to read them.
However, the result was not what she had expected.
All the exchanges between Xia Yuqing and Bai Hao were strictly professional, with no inappropriate behavior whatsoever.
As she read, her face grew uglier, and she felt increasingly guilty about her husband's attitude.
Xue Mei, standing beside them, realized something was wrong. She subtly glanced around, preparing to slip away.
But Song Qiao deliberately shifted her body, blocking Xue Mei's escape route.
"So, Madam Bai, do you still think my wife is having an improper relationship with your husband?"
After a long while, seeing Madam Bai frozen in place and silent, Song Qiao couldn't help but taunt.
Madam Bai could no longer hold back. She suddenly threw the documents on the ground and grabbed Xue Mei, who was standing by in a daze.
"Bitch, you dare to lie to me!"
With that, she raised her hand and slapped Xue Mei left and right.
"You were telling me so vividly just now, why are you speechless now?"
Xue Mei knew she was in the wrong and, intimidated by Madam Bai's aggression, didn't dare to retort. She just stood there, covering her face, feeling embarrassed.
"Enough!"
Bai Hao suddenly roared from the side.
"Are you done throwing your tantrum? If you're done, get home quickly. Don't embarrass me out here."
Bai Hao was, after all, a prominent businessman. His wife's shrewish behavior today would undoubtedly make him a laughingstock in their circle.
Madam Bai, feeling inferior to her husband, naturally didn't dare to retort. After giving Xue Mei a cold glare, she quickly left the scene.
"Miss Xia, our cooperation will continue. I'll have my secretary send you a contract later."
After speaking, Bai Hao also hurried away from Xinyuan Restaurant.
After all, given what had happened, no one would feel glorious.
The onlookers, having witnessed the truth, lost their interest in gossiping and dispersed almost simultaneously.
"Hmph, we'll see."
Xue Mei snorted coldly and glared fiercely at Xia Yuqing before attempting to leave.
"Wait! Did I say you could leave?"
Song Qiao once again flashed and blocked her path.
"What else do you want? I'm warning you, hitting people is illegal." Xue Mei became flustered and cautiously glanced at Song Qiao and her husband.
"I just want to remind you. You have one hour to pack your things from the company. Starting today, I don't want to see you in the company."
Song Qiao said calmly.
"Tch, what's the big deal? I'm telling you, I have connections. If you fire me, your company will be waiting to go bankrupt."
Xue Mei gritted her teeth and threatened.
"That's your business. Find whoever you want, but please leave the company immediately."
Song Qiao completely ignored her threat and was extremely firm.
"Hmph, fine, I'm a university graduate, I won't have trouble finding work anywhere."
Xue Mei stomped her foot in anger and bypassed Song Qiao to leave.
"No matter how capable you are, my company will never hire scum."
Song Qiao glanced at her contemptuously and directly cleared the way for her.
...
After Xue Mei left, only Song Qiao and her husband remained in the private room.
"Song Qiao, I..."
Xia Yuqing's eyes were red, and tears welled up, unsure of what to say.
"It's alright, it's all in the past."
Song Qiao gently patted her head and, taking the opportunity, linked her arm.
"Come, let's go back to the company."
Xia Yuqing hesitated and stood still.
"Song Qiao, perhaps I should... leave your company. After this incident, colleagues will gossip again, and it will affect your company negatively."
"I'd like to see who dares!"
Song Qiao snorted coldly.
"As long as I'm in charge of this company, there will be no more idle gossip about you here."
With that, Song Qiao pulled her wife out of the restaurant and drove straight to the company.
"Qin Ya, inform everyone in the advertising department to gather in the conference room for a meeting."
As soon as they entered, Song Qiao, with a stern face, instructed her secretary Qin Ya.
Qin Ya was highly efficient. In less than ten minutes, all twelve employees in Xia Yuqing's department, except for Xue Mei, were present.
"Today's meeting has only two items."
Song Qiao looked sternly at the more than a dozen employees present and said in a deep voice.
Everyone present was startled and instinctively sat up straight, bracing themselves.
The news of Xue Mei's incident this morning had already spread internally, and they knew their boss must be furious.
"The first item is the dismissal of Xue Mei. This woman has repeatedly caused trouble for my wife and almost caused economic losses to the company today. Therefore, she has now been fired by me."
"The second item is that Xia Yuqing is my wife, and she has the same authority as me in our company. If anyone dares to gossip behind her back again, pack your things and leave immediately."
"If I'm not satisfied, this advertising department will need a thorough overhaul."
Song Qiao finished speaking and cast a fierce glance at all the employees, his eyes filled with a strong warning.
