Summer Kiss

Chapter 28 Company-wide Announcement
Qin Susu was the kind of person who was so concerned about saving face that she suffered for it. At that time, her clothes were wet and her hair was messed up. She hid in the bathroom to dry her hair and clothes, and only returned to the office after she had tidied herself up.

Therefore, no one knows what happened to her in the restroom.

Qin Susu spoke haltingly, unable to articulate her thoughts clearly for a long time.

Upon seeing this, the finance director encouraged Qin Susu to tell the truth.

"Susu, if you have any grievances, just tell me, and I will definitely stand up for you."

Qin Susu wiped away her tears and said aggrievedly, "Uncle, it's just that Jiang Yuning doesn't like me and bullied me in the bathroom. There are no security cameras in the bathroom."

Director Wang's eyes flickered a few times. He felt that Qin Susu was hiding something from him, but even so, he couldn't just stand by and watch his niece be bullied.

“Designer Jiang, Su Su has never lied to anyone since she was a child, and I believe her this time too. If you don’t apologize today, you’ll probably receive a termination letter from the HR department tomorrow.”

Jiang Yuning curled her lips coldly. Just as she was about to respond, a round of applause rang out at the office door.

"Director Wang, you're so arrogant! Since when did you think you could just fire someone like that? Do you think this company belongs to you?"

Assistant Lin walked in and glanced around. Apart from the person in question, everyone else pretended to be working with their heads down.

The finance director argued, "Assistant Lin, the company has clear regulations that anyone who bullies a colleague can be dismissed at any time."

"So, did you personally witness this Designer Jiang assaulting Designer Qin?"

The finance director shook his head and said the absolute truth, "No, that's not the case."

"So you can frame your colleagues just based on a few words from Qin. I don't think your niece is any good."

The finance director noticed that Assistant Lin was consistently speaking from Jiang Yuning's side and was not helping Qin Susu at all, out of consideration for him.

He said, "Assistant Lin, please be careful with your words and actions. Although Su Su is my niece, she is also a member of the company."

Assistant Lin sneered, not wanting to continue beating around the bush with him.

"You should explain this to the president in person, Director Li. Could you please explain the instructions given by the president?"

Design Director Li emerged from behind Assistant Lin, cleared his throat, and said, "Director Wang, Xiao Jiang, Xiao Qin, the president is looking for you. Come with me to his office on the top floor."

Qin Susu rarely saw her boss. The only times she had met him were at the annual meeting and the year-end summary meeting. She always felt that the big boss was serious and difficult to get along with.

Qin Susu didn't want to make things too big, so she quickly refused, saying, "Director, I won't hold this against Jiang Yuning. There's no need for the president to personally intervene."

The design director made an inviting gesture.

"It's not because of that, but something else entirely."

And so, Jiang Yuning, Qin Susu, and the finance director went to the top-floor office.

When they arrived at the office, Lu Zhiqian sat in his office chair and angrily threw a stack of documents on the head of the finance director.

"Director Li, look at your good niece. Is it really worth you standing up for her? You're really blind."

After being scolded by the president, the finance director began to tremble uncontrollably. He picked up the blue folder from the ground and quickly glanced through its contents.

When he saw the contents of the folder, he almost fainted from anger. He turned around and slapped Qin Susu across the face.

"Su Su, I really didn't expect that you would leak all the company's customer information in order to get rid of Jiang Yuning. What's wrong with you? Leaking information can cause serious trouble."

Qin Susu's face was unusually pale, and her eyes revealed unease and fear. At this moment, she was so frightened that she couldn't utter a word.

"This is all evidence of you leaking customer information. Are you out of your mind?"

When Qin Susu realized she had made a mistake, it was too late. She dared not cry out loud and could only shed tears silently.

The finance director looked disappointed and turned around, his tone somewhat strained as he spoke.

"President, Su Su is my only niece. Please be lenient and let her off this time. I guarantee she will not do it again."

Lu Zhiqian curled his lips coldly, his gaze suddenly sharp as a knife as he stared directly at the finance director.

"This time it was company customer information that was leaked. What about next time? Are you planning to leak even company secrets? Director Wang, you're still defending Qin Susu at this time. Do you not want to continue working at Huangtian Group?"

Director Wang, ignoring the cold sweat on his face, quickly denied it, "President, I just wanted to plead for Su Su."

Lu Zhiqian likes to follow procedures. Whether it's a new employee or a senior executive, if someone makes a fatal mistake, they are all treated the same.

Jiang Yuning kept her head down and didn't say anything. How did the company find out about Qin Susu leaking customer information so quickly? Could it be that Fu Xicheng helped her in secret?
At this moment, Jiang Yuning's thoughts drifted far away; she wanted to ask Fu Xicheng in person.

Lu Zhiqian sat in his office chair, exuding an aura of indifference. In this situation, there was no room for anyone to plead for him.

"I will inform the entire company about Qin Susu's behavior. As for the mistakes she made, they cannot be ignored. I have already asked the police to intervene."

Upon hearing this, Qin Susu trembled with fear. She thought that the president would be fine once he fired her, but she didn't expect to be taken to the police station. She instantly collapsed to the ground.

Lu Zhiqian made himself perfectly clear, and Director Wang certainly understood what he meant. Disheartened, he stopped pleading for Qin Susu.

Lu Zhiqian continued the previous topic.

"Director Li, Qin Susu works in your design department. Now, have her resign. The company doesn't need someone like her."

Jiang Yuning had wanted to see what the president looked like when he got angry, but upon hearing this, she was too scared to look up. It turned out that the president could indeed be a little frightening when he got serious.

Lu Zhiqian waved his hand, indicating that the others could leave.

Jiang Yuning returned to her desk. Meng Shuyu was about to go up and ask her something when she saw the director and Qin Susu walk in together. She quickly lowered her head and started working.

Qin Susu returned to her office and began packing her things.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the office was very strange. Lin Yao saw Qin Susu packing her things, while the director stood aside to supervise.

She quickly went to Qin Susu's side and pressed down on her hand as she packed her things.

"Director, this is not fair. Even if Su Su slandered Jiang Yuning, she doesn't need to be fired. Su Su, say something!"
