Chapter 28

Chicken’s words were like waves in the meeting room.

Everyone was tense, afraid that they would miss every word Chicken said next.

Chicken raised her head to look at everyone, then she choked and said, “Originally, as a secretary of a lower level, I usually didn’t have the opportunity to go to the floor where President Gu was, but today, someone happened to send information to President Gu. After she left, someone sent a stack of information over. In order to avoid missing anything, I chased upstairs and planned to give it to her…”

Chicken looked in a certain direction in the conference room, but her eyes had not focused yet, so everyone could only randomly guess who it was.

Then Chicken spoke again, “In the end, I walked up and just happened to see her coming out of the room next to President Gu’s. She saw me and looked very flustered. Then she threatened me to not tell anyone about what I saw. Otherwise, she would ask President Gu to fire me.”

As the volume of her voice decreased, Chicken even shed a few tears, making her seem especially trustworthy. At this point, everyone had their own guesses as well. They could not help but look at Fang Qing.

At this moment, Gu Cheng walked down from the stage. His expensive leather shoes made a clicking sound as they stepped on the tile steps. However, from the looks of it, it looked like a death sentence.

He came to Chicken and looked down at her. “Who is it?”

Xiao Nuo looked up at Gu Cheng with tears in her eyes without any emotion or warmth. Gu Cheng’s expression made her even more afraid. In the end, she sobbed and complained, “It’s… it’s secretary Fang… It’s secretary Fang who told me to do this…”

After saying that, Chicken started to cry again, but the focus of everyone was no longer on her.

There was only one secretary in the Secretary Department whose surname was Fang who was still in close contact with Gu Cheng, and that was Fang Qing.

“Who is it!” Gu Cheng’s cold voice was filled with anger. It was only after he said those words that he realized whether he was too emotional.

Gu Cheng did not expect that when Fang Qing was criticized, the first thing he thought of was not to doubt her but to believe her at the first moment.

However, the others were not Gu Cheng. After Chicken said the words ‘secretary Fang’, the sharp sword hanging in the air seemed to finally fall.

Hundreds of thousands of employees were whispering to each other below.

“I didn’t expect it to be really her. I saw that President Gu valued her so much and thought she was the daughter of a wealthy family.”

“You still don’t know, right? She’s just a woman from the countryside. I don’t know how she got involved with the Gu family and even became President Gu’s fiancée. She eats too unsightly.”

…

There were many more words that followed, but most of them were similar words. There were very few people who doubted Chicken’s words and believed Fang Qing.

Rumors were like water. If one did not take the initiative to assimilate into them, then they would be worn down and eventually assimilated into them.

Fang Qing knew that at this moment, everyone’s gaze was on her. Everyone was waiting for her to speak. However, Fang Qing was still in a state of shock. It was not Chicken’s slander, but Gu Cheng’s unconditional trust.

Silence would turn into acquiescence after a long time. Fang Qing thought for a moment and met everyone’s expectant gaze. She slowly said, “It was indeed me who took the necklace.”

Everyone was in an uproar. Everyone thought that Fang Qing would hurriedly deny that it was her doing, but they didn’t expect her to admit it directly.

Before the people below could react, Fang Qing spoke again, “As an employee who has just joined a top company for less than a month, I have a salary that most people envy, and I am also highly valued by the company’s boss. I have the ability to disregard my future and safety to steal a necklace that I don’t even dare to wear and sell.”

After hearing this, a rational voice finally came from the crowd, “Yeah, I also think she doesn’t need to do that.”

The unique characteristic of Ruwen was that if Fang Qing had stolen it, she would not have dared to wear it in public, nor would she have been able to sell the necklace while Gu Enterprise had the absolute advantage in the market.

“Check the surveillance cameras!” Someone said, and everyone came back to their senses. There was a surveillance camera on the floor. As long as they replayed what had happened during that time, they would be able to find out what had happened.

In fact, it was impossible for the top floor not to have thought of a method that an ordinary employee could think of. Only Gu Cheng and the others knew that the surveillance camera at that time had ‘coincidentally’ broken again.

The more coincidental it was, the less coincidental it was.

After hearing Fang Qing’s words, Gu Cheng walked back to the stage. “From the beginning until now, I have never chosen to adjust the surveillance camera.”
