The employees of Qin Corporation had long harbored resentment towards Ji Fei's antics, especially those in the CEO's Office Staff.

Demanding surveillance footage was essentially pointing a finger at them, accusing them of lying about her, wasn't it? They had all witnessed it with their own eyes; who would dare to speak ill of the CEO's wife otherwise?

However, with a single command from Qin Xian, the surveillance footage was swiftly displayed on the large screen.

At increased playback speed, they clearly saw Ji Fei's figure enter and stay for half an hour, apparently not finding who she was looking for, then exit with a gloomy expression.

Everyone present couldn't help but sneer inwardly, thinking Ji Fei was stubborn and wouldn't give up until she hit a dead end. Now, let's see how she could still deny it.

Only Secretary Jin's forehead was beaded with sweat.

Until her own figure appeared on the surveillance footage.

Secretary Jin's pupils contracted, and she carefully glanced at Qin Xian.

Among those who had been glaring at Ji Fei, some were stunned upon seeing that scene, while others remained unresponsive.

The video stopped playing.

Qin Xian's face was almost covered with a layer of frost.

It was true after all!

Qin Xian turned to those who had confidently claimed that only Ji Fei had entered and exited his office, and coldly questioned, "Only my wife?"

However, these people hadn't yet fully processed the situation.

A senior assistant spoke up directly: "Mr. Qin, isn't there no problem? Only your wife..."

Others nodded in agreement.

[This is what you call having two nostrils under your eyebrows, only good for blinking and not for seeing.]

Hearing Ji Fei's sarcastic remark, Qin Xian's expression worsened.

Suddenly, a male voice said: "Strictly speaking, two people went in and out. One was Mrs. Qin, and the other was... Secretary Jin!"

[There's actually one person who isn't blind!]

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw a young man standing at the back. He was a new assistant who had been promoted recently.

Qin Xian, with his excellent memory, remembered that when Ji Fei was initially accused, this person had been out on business and wasn't present.

At this moment, the others seemed to finally catch on, but upon further thought, they found it laughable.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Secretary Jin frequently goes in and out of the office."

"You're new here and don't understand. Secretary Jin is Mr. Qin's right-hand person!"

"Are you suggesting that Secretary Jin would betray the company?"

Their tone was so exaggerated, as if this idea was utterly preposterous.

Qin Xian suddenly let out a cold snort, and the scene instantly fell silent.

Ji Fei, however, felt like laughing. [If they knew the truth, their expressions would definitely be hilarious.]

Ji Fei curiously looked at Secretary Jin, who was unconditionally trusted by everyone.

Secretary Jin, whose real name was Jin Yue, had a neat high ponytail, but her slightly curled hair strands seemed meticulously designed to appear casually elegant. Her professional suit and pencil skirt accentuated her figure's advantages to the fullest. Although she wore light makeup, it was so exquisite that not a single flaw could be found.

However, her expression at this moment was extremely unnatural.

[It's not their fault though. After all, their attitudes towards Secretary Jin and me completely follow Qin Xian's template.]

Qin Xian's heart skipped a beat.

Indeed, it was his fault!

"Does Secretary Jin have anything to confess?"

"Mr. Qin, are you suspecting me?" Although nervous, Secretary Jin quickly regained her composure and spoke in a tone of disbelief.

"I did go in, but Mr. Qin, don't you remember? Every night, I go to your office to prepare for the next day's meetings."

[So it was even more convenient to strike when I was alone in there. It seems this was planned for a long time. Impressive!]

[But... after listening to all this, do they all have to work overtime at night? I didn't expect Qin Xian to be such a capitalist exploiting his employees. After the divorce, I should send him a copy of the labor law!]

So after listening to all that, this is what you're focused on?! This is about your innocence!

And... our employees get triple pay for overtime!

Qin Xian's train of thought was almost derailed by Ji Fei's comments. He quickly gathered his thoughts.

"Anyone who entered and exited should be investigated. No exceptions!"

Secretary Jin immediately put on a hurt and wronged expression. She truly hadn't expected Qin Xian to suddenly treat her the same as everyone else. That stupid woman had already admitted it!

Was her position in Qin Xian's heart really on par with this woman? She had been by his side for ten years, handling big and small matters without a single mistake.

The other assistants also showed displeasure, probably thinking the CEO was being overly rigorous.

Secretary Jin versus Ji Fei, how could anyone think Ji Fei wouldn't be the one to make a mistake?!

Treating Secretary Jin like this, aren't they afraid of disheartening a trusted confidant?

Moreover, although the CEO didn't seem to notice, they could all see it.

Actually, Secretary Jin had always secretly loved the CEO, and her devotion to Mr. Qin was absolute. Even though she could have competed with Ji Fei, she endured Ji Fei's bullying without fighting back. How could she possibly sabotage Qin Corporation?

Just as the atmosphere became tense, a sneer came from the doorway.

Ji Fei looked over curiously.

Several people walked in with an imposing aura.

The CEO's Office Staff all stepped back, making room.

Based on her memory, Ji Fei recognized the balding man leading the group as Director Tang from the Board of Directors.

The one who had just sneered was a young man with dyed yellow hair who had jumped out from behind Director Tang.

He was Director Tang's son, Tang Jun.

He looked like a typical second-generation rich kid who fooled around in the company without doing any real work.

At this moment, Tang Jun walked directly to Secretary Jin's side and gave Qin Xian an unfriendly look.

"Qin Xian, have you lost your mind? We agreed at the Board of Directors meeting that you'd divorce this troublemaker, but what are you doing now?"

"Is there still any question about that incident that's worth you making such a fuss and checking surveillance footage? And what's even more ridiculous is that I just heard you're suspecting your loyal Secretary Jin and want her to be investigated too? Have you gone crazy?"

Director Tang made a half-hearted attempt to chide Tang Jun.

"How dare you speak to Mr. Qin like that! Mr. Qin's thoroughness is a virtue. It's not that he suspects Secretary Jin; I think it's probably because his wife refuses to admit guilt that we're having this scene."

Tang Jun immediately glared fiercely at Ji Fei.

"You woman, even at a time like this, you're still trying to drag others down with you. It's simply..."

Before Tang Jun could finish his insult, Qin Xian stepped forward, his face stern, shielding Ji Fei. He was about to speak when—

[Which sewer cover was stolen to let this thing out?]

Qin Xian's words got stuck in his throat.

[Tang Jun, is it? How dare you talk back to the big boss of the corporation? Let me see what gives you the guts to be so arrogant!]

The corporation's · Qin Xian · big boss was taken aback.

See what?

[Oh, I see. Director Tang has the highest position on the Board of Directors and is somewhat at odds with Qin Xian. If it weren't for Tang Jun being so useless and Qin Xian being so excellent, when Qin's Father stepped down, Director Tang would have really considered pushing his own son to take over. No wonder Tang Jun can't quite figure out his place in front of Qin Xian.]

Qin Xian was truly shocked this time.

Ji Fei had previously known nothing about the relationships within their corporation, yet she suddenly...

And it was something she just 'saw' now?

Moreover, earlier, she shouldn't have known that Secretary Jin had entered the office after her...

Indeed, she must have some kind of 'condition', right?

[Ah! Oh my god, ahhh!]

Qin Xian was startled by Ji Fei's sudden scream. While one part of his mind wondered 'what else has she seen?', he half-heartedly listened to Tang Jun's defense of Secretary Jin.

[No wonder he's so against me and protective of Secretary Jin.]

[So this Tang Jun is Secretary Jin's devoted admirer!]

[Haha! How can someone be so devoted? It's killing me with laughter!]

Qin Xian was shocked!

Tang Jun likes Secretary Jin?

Devoted admirer?

So... how devoted?

[Good morning, good afternoon, good night messages every day. Reminders to bring an umbrella when it rains, to wear more clothes when it's cold. She never replies! Yet he's persisted for two years! That's dedication!]

Qin Xian: If only he put that dedication into his work...

[Once, just because of a casual comment from Secretary Jin about liking something, he searched all over Paris to buy it. He ended up with a fever and fainted. When Secretary Jin received the gift, she only said "drink more hot water," and he cried his heart out! Such sincere devotion!]

Qin Xian: If only he showed such sincerity towards his work!

[He once played guitar and sang under her apartment in the middle of the night. The neighbors called the police for disturbing the peace, and he was taken to the station for a lecture. Secretary Jin didn't even come to bail him out! He had to find his own way out! Afterwards, he even apologized for possibly disturbing her sleep! I must say, the fact that he could consider this shows frighteningly meticulous thinking!]

Qin Xian: So who's the one making frequent mistakes at work? Is work ultimately unable to retain his meticulous mind?!

[There's even more!]

Qin Xian: There's more?!

["After falling in love with Secretary Jin, he never sought out other women, keeping himself pure. He would only look at Secretary Jin's photo and in the middle of the night under the covers... he would pleasure himself. This kind of adult gossip shouldn't be shared! I'm not interested in others' privacy!"]

Qin Xian: ...Ugh!

At this moment, Tang Jun, who was righteously speaking in front of them, was unaware that Ji Fei had completely exposed his private matters.

He only felt that the way the two people in front of him looked at him was becoming increasingly peculiar.

What did those gazes mean, mixed with a hint of sympathy and disappointment?

["Haha, so it was all Director Tang's misdeeds!"]

Qin Xian: ?? What does this have to do with Director Tang again?

Huh? Wait, what was he supposed to be dealing with just now?

Qin Xian's mind was in chaos, but ultimately his attention was drawn away by Ji Fei's emotionally charged inner thoughts.

Gossip is a temptation that even the most serious person can't resist.
