"I'll talk... I'll tell you everything..." Niu Gang completely broke down, his face drenched with tears and snot: "Stop torturing ... I'll tell you everything I know...Please, no more torture..."
Gao Fei prodded Niu Gang's chest a few tis with his finger, then Niu Gang stopped his shouting and rolling on the ground. The pain that had tornted him vanished instantly—such a miraculous technique!
"So, what actually happened?" Gao Fei asked icily.
"It was... it was Miao Kui who had set you up..." Niu Gang gritted his teeth and spilled all he knew.
"Miao Kui?" Gao Fei was taken aback. "How did he get involved?"
"It's like this... Yesterday, Miao Kui found on the sly and wanted to help fra you. I hesitated only briefly before I agreed," Niu Gang said shivering: "You took the position Miao Kui wanted, and he held a grudge against you. So he colluded with the finance departnt's Chief Liu and to set a trap for you." After saying this, Niu Gang added, "Chief Liu and Miao Kui were college classmates, and their relationship was very close."
So that was it!
This Miao Kui was truly despicable!
Gao Fei looked at Niu Gang with a cold gaze: "Niu Gang, I don't recall ever offending you. Why would you collude with Miao Kui against ?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Of course!"
"Then I'll tell you! There were mainly two reasons I agreed to Miao Kui. First, Miao Kui promised so benefits, and second... I am jealous of you, insanely jealous, so much that I can't sleep at night. Watching you fail gave a lot of pleasure."
"Jealous of ?" Gao Fei was stunned. He hadn't expected such an admission from Niu Gang: "Is it because of Miss Su?"
"Yes," Niu Gang nodded vigorously: "What gives you, an outsider, the right to be favored by Miss Su! Why! I can't accept it, I just can't! I had the upper hand before you ca along because I was stronger, I'm a local, I have a house and savings! Much better than you! But... you just had to be favored by Miss Su, becoming the head of the Security Departnt just like that, and suddenly I was dwarfed in your presence... Every ti I saw you laughing and talking with Miss Su, I would get so angry!!!"
Gao Fei didn't know what to say, looking at Niu Gang with mixed feelings: "Because of jealousy, you helped others fra ! You... you really are sothing! The ancients said: 'Jealousy can make one lose their reason and act impulsively!' I didn't believe it before, but now... now I do."
"I know it's wrong to be jealous of you, and even worse to fra you, but I just couldn't control myself, really! I just couldn't control it!" Niu Gang said dejectedly, shaking his head: "I just can't control it."
Gao Fei was silent for a while, then asked, "Co with to the company tomorrow, and confront Miao Kui and Chief Liu in person."
"No need to bother." Niu Gang pulled out a cellphone from his pocket: "When Miao Kui and I were scheming, I secretly recorded it. With this recording, he won't be able to deny it." As he spoke, Niu Gang pressed the play button and the voices of two n ca from the phone, one was Miao Kui, and the other was Niu Gang.
"Tomorrow, go find Gao Fei and tell him you've accidentally offended Chief Liu and ask Gao Fei to plead with Chief Liu on your behalf... I'll arrange for Chief Liu to leave early, as soon as Gao Fei enters Chief Liu's office, he's done for," Miao Kui said.
"Can this really work...?" Niu Gang asked.
"Trust , it's foolproof! I'll reward you handsoly once it's done," Miao Kui said.
"...Okay then, I'll do as you say."
The recording ended there.
Gao Fei looked at Niu Gang with a wry smile: "You even made a recording... you really are sothing." With this recording, Gao Fei could clear his na.
"I was afraid Miao Kui would cross later, so I made sure to cover my back," Niu Gang said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect it would end up helping you." He hesitated before adding, "Gao Fei, can I ask you for a favor?"
"What is it?" Gao Fei asked.
"Could you maybe plead with Miss Su for , ask her not to fire ? I really need this job." Niu Gang looked at Gao Fei with a pleading face, the reason why he so readily produced the recording was exactly for this request.
Gao Fei sighed softly: "If only you knew this earlier, why did you do it in the first place?" Gao Fei picked up the cellphone and walked away without looking back.
...
The next morning.
Su Xiaorou called Chief Liu and Miao Kui over, then played the recording Gao Fei had given her.
After hearing the recording, Chief Liu and Miao Kui were scared stiff...
How could things have turned out like this? That Niu Gang is such a bastard! He even secretly recorded audio! It's over, completely over!
Originally, Minister Liu and Miao Kui were secretly discussing to make a big fuss, forcing Gao Fei to feel too ashad to stay in the company, but before they could take action, Su Xiaorou had already found the evidence... What they found most unbearable was... that this evidence ca from their "accomplice".
"Do you have anything to say?" Su Xiaorou's face was terribly gloomy.
"I'm sorry, President Su, I was wrong," Minister Liu said with sha, not daring to look at Su Xiaorou.
"President Su, we were also montarily blinded by greed and committed this despicable act. Now we realize our mistake. Please give us a chance to nd our ways," Miao Kui pleaded hopelessly, continuously begging for rcy, hoping that Su Xiaorou would let him off.
"You really have so nerve," Su Xiaorou snorted coldly, "Conspiring to fra a colleague! And you even thought about embezzling company assets! It's simply too heinous! I could call the police right now, and have you sent to jail!"
"No, no, no, I can't go to jail. I have elderly parents and young children to support; they all depend on . If I go to jail, they won't be able to survive," Miao Kui said, his face turning pale with fear as he continually pleaded for rcy, "President Su, you are a generous person, please spare this ti. I'm begging you."
"Yes, President Su, please forgive this one ti. I won't dare to do it again," Minister Liu also joined in the begging, truly terrified in that mont.
"Regretting it now? What were you doing earlier!" Su Xiaorou said furiously, "I was blind to have hired you two despicable people! I really wish I could just slap you both dead."
"President Su, we know our mistake, we truly do. Please, just this once, let us off," Minister Liu and Miao Kui implored with tears streaming down their faces.
After cursing them out for a while, Su Xiaorou's anger abated slightly, "Considering the years you've worked at the company, I won't call the police this ti." Hearing that Su Xiaorou was not planning to call the police, Liu and Miao Kui breathed a sigh of relief, but her next words sent them straight to hell, "Though you may escape death, you can't escape punishnt! From now on, you two are dismissed. Go settle your salaries now."
What?
The two of them were dumbfounded—dismissed?
"President Su..." Minister Liu and Miao Kui were about to plead when Su Xiaorou cut them off.
"Leave quickly before I change my mind!" Su Xiaorou said coldly, "Otherwise, I will call the police."
Seeing Su Xiaorou was serious, Minister Liu and Miao Kui lost their nerve and dejectedly left the office.
After Liu and Miao Kui left, Su Xiaorou picked up the phone and called Gao Fei, "The matter has been resolved. Minister Liu and Miao Kui have been dismissed. As for Niu Gang... considering your face, I will give him a chance to reform. However, he can't stay at the headquarters. I plan to transfer him to work at a branch."
"Okay, do as you see fit. I have no objections," Gao Fei nodded.
"Be more careful in the future not to be frad again... Well, that's it. I have so docunts I need to sign off on, so I won't chat any longer." With that, Su Xiaorou hung up the phone and picked up her pen to begin signing off on docunts.
And just like that, the storm dissipated.
Ever since he had been tricked, Gao Fei had beco more vigilant, staying in his office nearly every day. Even if there was an ergency that required him to go to other departnts, he would find soone to accompany him. In short, he was now very careful and cautious in his actions.
Su Xiaorou would still invite Gao Fei out for als every now and then, and one ti, she even took Gao Fei to an amusent park, spending the whole afternoon there and playing almost every attraction.
At so point, Gao Fei realized Su Xiaorou's looks at him were sowhat off, as if... as if they were the looks of a lover... But Gao Fei quickly dismissed the thought. He knew his place; he was just a poor nobody, and Su Xiaorou should not have any reason to be interested in him. It had to be a misunderstanding.
After spending so much ti together, Gao Fei did have so feelings for Su Xiaorou, maybe even a little liking, but he always restrained himself, not allowing himself to fall too deeply, because he and Su Xiaorou were from two different worlds, and it seed unlikely they would end up together.
The comfortable days had just passed for a few when trouble ca knocking at his door.
That afternoon, a man driving a luxury sports car arrived looking for Gao Fei, his deanor quite arrogant, "Are you Gao Fei? The head of the Security Departnt?"
Gao Fei nodded, "I am Gao Fei! And you are?"
"Listen up and listen well, my na is Dongfang Jian, and I'm Su Xiaorou's boyfriend," the man declared haughtily.
"You're President Su's boyfriend?" Gao Fei was startled.
"That's right!" Dongfang Jian confird with a forceful nod.
"What do you want with ?" Gao Fei inquired.
"I've heard that you've been pestering Xiaorou lately, and I ca especially to give you a warning!" As Dongfang Jian said this, his tone turned even colder, "Starting today, stay away from Xiaorou. If you dare to bother her again, hmph... then don't bla for not being polite!"
