CHAPTER 203: CHAPTER 203: WEDDING PHOTO 1_1
Perhaps because she didn’t sleep well last night, Yan Xixi felt listless all day. Fortunately, Fu Mei’s office had already been vacated, and a few colleagues helped her move her belongings in.
Sitting in the swivel chair, she spun gently, and the sight of a large evergreen tree by the window instantly lifted her spirits.
Though the office was small and not at all grand—certainly no match for the luxurious offices of powerful women depicted in film and television—it was clean and tidy, with bright windows, and she loved it very much.
All of this was a matter of luck.
When good luck came one’s way, one had to work even harder and grasp it firmly. Otherwise, luck, much like serendipity, could turn and vanish in an instant.
Yan Xixi clenched her fists tightly. Nothing can stop me. Otherwise, who knows if luck will still be waiting for me next time?
After having a cup of coffee to refresh herself, she got straight to work.
Just as work was winding down for the day, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Upon seeing Huang Ying, she got up in surprise. Huang Ying didn’t usually drop by during office hours and disliked such behavior. It was very rare for her to make such a "personal" visit.
"Director Huang, hello."
Huang Ying’s face was wreathed in smiles. For the first time, she wore a gossipy expression quite out of character given her age and usual demeanor. "Xixi, I’m here to tell you some good news..."
"What good news?"
"Guess?"
The older woman was dressed in a silver-gray professional suit, adorned with a golden pearl necklace and red lipstick. Despite her imposing appearance, her current smile was almost comical. Yan Xixi couldn’t help but chuckle. "What is the good news? I can’t guess."
"HAHA, Liang Sheng is under investigation."
Yan Xixi’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"It’s said that the rumors started because word got around the company that he had AIDS," Huang Ying continued. "This rumor escalated until one of his competitors seized the opportunity to viciously report him. I was worried the news might be false, so I specifically went to check. They said Liang Sheng was taken away last night..."
Yan Xixi was nearly jumping with joy. This is fantastic! Heaven knows, ever since I bumped into Liang Sheng at the cinema, I’ve been terrified of his retaliation. But now that this villain is under investigation, it means I can finally rest easy.
She excitedly grabbed Huang Ying’s hand. "HAHA, Director Huang, I’m so happy! Thank you for telling me this good news."
Realizing she had lost her composure, she quickly let go of Huang Ying, rubbed her head sheepishly, and smiled merrily. "Director Huang, I must be dizzy with joy."
"Who wouldn’t be? I’m overjoyed too. Xixi, there’s something I never told you. Back then, my cousin used to work in the same unit. Because she was attractive, about a decade ago, Liang Sheng toyed with her and then dumped her. His wife then pursued and attacked her. Unable to bear the humiliation, she committed suicide by hanging herself. But Liang Sheng never got his comeuppance. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. It feels amazing! Xixi, I really have to thank you. Your move was the fuse that led to his downfall, HAHA..."
