Hearing this, Liu Yinyin was secretly delighted. She had long ago arranged for people to spread scandals about Xia Weilan in the company. Xia Weilan must be having a hard time there. Now, this "not bad" reply was probably just a forced one.
Liu Yinyin had been watched by the butler all day. Her phone was turned off, so she had no idea what was going on in the company.
Mo Donglin saw Liu Yinyin with her head down, looking unappetizing. He couldn't help but silently pick several dishes for her.
However, Liu Yinyin didn't even glance at Mo Donglin. She swept a look at Mo Beichen sitting opposite. At this sight, her eyes widened in disbelief. Mo Beichen was personally serving food for Xia Weilan, and they seemed to be on extremely good terms.
A flash of jealousy and hatred passed through Liu Yinyin's eyes. She squinted and lowered her head. Looking at the bowl full of dishes in front of her, she had no appetite. She secretly leaned over to Mo Donglin's ear and whispered, "Donglin, I really don't want to kneel anymore. Please plead for me."
Xia Weilan also noticed Liu Yinyin's little action. Before Mo Donglin could say anything, Xia Weilan spoke first. She turned to the old master and said, "Grandpa, actually, I encountered something in the company. I don't know who is spreading scandals about me behind my back. Now, many of my colleagues have photos of me and Ouyang Mingqi. I'm really troubled by this."
Xia Weilan didn't name names, but Old Master Mo quickly thought of the incident where Liu Yinyin had framed Xia Weilan. He couldn't help but glare at Liu Yinyin and said, "What on earth were you thinking? You dared to frame a family member. Look at what's happening now. Aren't all those rumors in the company because of you?"
Mo Donglin's words of pleading were abruptly stopped. He changed his words and said, "Grandpa, Yinyin has already realized her mistake."
Liu Yinyin almost bit the chopsticks in her mouth to pieces. She also quickly said, "Yes, Grandpa. I won't dare to do it again."
Liu Yinyin ate her meal gloomily and didn't dare to say much throughout the process, for fear that the old master's anger hadn't subsided and would scold her again.
After dinner, even though Liu Yinyin's legs didn't hurt as much, Mo Donglin still supported her and walked out.
"Walk slowly," Liu Yinyin murmured.
Mo Donglin looked at Liu Yinyin's ugly expression and felt extremely distressed.
In the car, Liu Yinyin immediately asked Mo Donglin about the situation in the company.
"What? Xiao Xiao was fired?" Liu Yinyin thought she must have knelt for too long, otherwise, why was her head feeling a bit dizzy again.
Getting a definite answer from Mo Donglin, Liu Yinyin gritted her teeth and said, "This is too bullying. The company isn't even owned by Xia Weilan. Why did she fire someone just because her clothes got wet? How can she?"
Mo Donglin didn't notice that Liu Yinyin didn't blame Mo Beichen at all but instead took all her anger out on Xia Weilan.
Mo Donglin even tried to comfort Liu Yinyin and said, "I also think this is a bit too much."
The company was like Mo Beichen's kingdom. Mo Beichen could fire someone with just a single word. What if Mo Beichen wanted to fire him one day?
So he must climb up the ladder and secure his position.
"Yinyin, don't worry. At the company's board meeting next month, I'll ask Grandpa to promote me," Mo Donglin promised.
But Liu Yinyin didn't even seem to hear it. In her eyes, no matter how many times Mo Donglin got promoted, he would never be as firmly established in the company as Mo Beichen.
Mo Donglin had always been a coward. He only knew how to do some small - scale business and hoped that the old master would promote him. But everyone knew that Mo Beichen had the final say in the whole company. Even the old master's intention was to hand over the company to Mo Beichen. In the company, only those without influence would look at Mo Donglin's face. Otherwise, who would listen to him.
Liu Yinyin thought that once she got rid of Xia Weilan, she could be with Mo Beichen day and night in the company.
Even if she couldn't do anything now, just seeing Mo Beichen made her feel comfortable.
The next day, Liu Yinyin still went to the ancestral hall to kneel as punishment.
But this time, Liu Yinyin had become smarter. She tied a lot of cotton on her knees.
Moreover, the butler had only watched her for a while when he was called away by the person arranged by Liu Yinyin to handle some matters.
Liu Yinyin couldn't help but laugh secretly. She spent the whole morning secretly playing with her phone and eating snacks.
Even more luckily, the old master went out early in the morning, so Liu Yinyin became even more unscrupulous.
Just like this, Liu Yinyin secretly had a great time for a whole day.
In the evening, when Xia Weilan was chatting with Grandpa, she saw Liu Yinyin walking in on her own with a rosy complexion. She didn't even complain about the pain anymore and walked very gracefully. After dinner, Liu Yinyin happily slipped away.
Xia Weilan thought Liu Yinyin's situation was very abnormal. She secretly asked the butler about Liu Yinyin's situation.
"Third Young Mistress, I really can't answer your question. I don't know what's going on these two days. Suddenly, I have a lot more things to deal with, and everything is prone to go wrong. I've been busy from morning till night, so I asked the maid to watch her."
Xia Weilan looked shrewdly in the direction where Liu Yinyin had left. It seemed that Liu Yinyin was playing tricks secretly.
Seeing Xia Weilan's expression, the butler, who was also a smart person, immediately thought of a possibility. His face immediately turned pale.
Liu Yinyin had been living comfortably for the past two days and started to arrange for people to deal with Xia Weilan again.
Wasn't there still Zhou Lanxin, her confidant, in the company?
The next day.
Xia Weilan got the proposed cooperation document from the manager and walked into the studio to copy the document. Just as the machine started to work, a colleague called out to Xia Weilan at the door, "Weilan, can you come and help me?"
Xia Weilan didn't think much and walked out.
When she returned to the office, the document had already been printed.
Xia Weilan reached out to take the document out of the printer. Her eyes unconsciously swept across the document and immediately stopped at a certain number.
She remembered that the signing amount she had discussed with the manager was five million. How did it suddenly become ten million?
Xia Weilan was stunned. Could it be that she had written the wrong number when organizing the document?
Xia Weilan was glad that she had discovered her mistake early. She immediately wanted to go back to the computer to print it again.
But just as she took two steps, Xia Weilan stopped. She had always had a good memory and couldn't have made a typing mistake.
Xia Weilan took out the original document that she had used for copying and found that the number on the original document was the initial five million.
The original document showed five million, but the copied one became ten million. There must be someone up to no good.
Zhou Lanxin saw Xia Weilan walking out of the office calmly with her own eyes and then directly entering the meeting room.
The corners of her eyes curved, and she almost burst out laughing. This time, Xia Weilan was going to be in trouble.
When Han Yishi walked out of the meeting room, Zhou Lanxin pretended to be kind and opened the elevator for Han Yishi. She casually asked, "What's the signing amount this time?"
Han Yishi remembered what Xia Weilan had told him and immediately replied, "Five million. Why?"
