The fact that Liu Qing readily handed over his phone to President Su made Secretary Feng feel a little unconfident. She looked a little evasive, but she still said, "The moment he entered the elevator, he looked at me very creepily. Then he took out his phone. He must have been secretly filming me."
"Don't be so sure about things you can't be sure of."
President Su said to her before she started to look through the photo album in Liu Qing's phone.
She opened the folder and noted that the newest entry in the album was dated yesterday. It was not a photo of a person either, but a photo of food.
Then she looked at the videos.
She scrolled through the folder, but did not click on any of the videos. She only looked at the rows of thumbnails and she almost had to avert her eyes.
No matter what, it was very clear to her that those videos were not secret recordings.
Although the thumbnail images were not very clear, she could still make out whether the people in the videos were wearing any clothes or not.
In her heart, she labeled Liu Qing as a sleazy man, but she also knew now that her secretary had wrongfully accused him of secretly filming her.
She handed the phone back to Liu Qing quickly, as if it was a hot potato, and then bowed to him.
"My apologies, sir."
She then glanced at Secretary Feng.
"Zhixuan, you've misunderstood this gentleman. He didn't film you secretly. Apologize to him now."
Secretary Feng muttered softly, "Maybe he deleted it…"
"Zhixuan, apologize!"
President Su's tone became stern.
Secretary Feng did not dare to say anything else. She walked up to Liu Qing and bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry."
Even though she apologized, she felt aggrieved and her eyes reddened.
Liu Qing did not look at her kindly and posed her a question.
"Now you know you're in the wrong?"
Secretary Feng lowered her head and whispered, "I know I'm wrong…"
"Do you know what you did wrong?" asked Liu Qing.
"It's… it's…" Secretary Feng stammered reluctantly." It's… it's wrong of me to accuse you of secretly filming me when I don't have any evidence…"
"That's not your biggest mistake," Liu Qing said seriously. "Your biggest mistake is thinking too highly of yourself. You think that all the men in the world want to do you harm. In fact, you're not as charming as you think you are. You're just a backdrop. If people take more than one glance at you, it's only because your presence is blocking their views, not because you're good-looking."
Secretary Feng blushed immediately.
She was angry, but she did not dare to flare up. She felt so wronged.
President Su was very unhappy with what Liu Qing said.
Even though she also felt that her secretary had gone a little overboard on this matter, she did not like Liu Qing's reprimanding tone.
Even if my secretary deserves a scolding, I'm the only one who can scold her. Who do you think you are, throwing your weight around and lecturing people.
However, it was indeed her secretary's fault this time, so even if his tone was a little harsh, it was not appropriate for her to say anything.
She coughed and asked, "Excuse me, sir, but this floor is our company's office space. May I ask what brings you here?"
Tianyuan Group required all the employees working in the headquarters to dress formally to work. Liu Qing was wearing casual clothes and it was obvious that he was neither an employee of the company, nor a cleaner or security guard of the property.
She wondered if he was here to apply for a job and promptly made up her mind not to hire him if he was.
It was hard to tell if he was capable or not. However, if a person who was coming for an interview fought with the company's employee before he even joined and still maintained such an arrogant attitude, then it just showed that his EQ was too low. The company could not hire such a person.
Of course, the main reason was still the rows of small video thumbnails on this guy's phone that made her innately disgusted.
"I'm here to look for someone." Liu Qing did not hide anything.
"Looking for someone?" President Su frowned. "Who?"
She made up her mind to have a talk with the person who asked this guy to come to the office.
The office area of the company was meant for working, not for meeting personal friends.
"I'm looking for the chairwoman of your company," said Liu Qing.
President Su sized him up again. This person exuded cheapness from head to toe. He did not look like someone who could be acquainted with the chairwoman.
However, she did not point that out but asked him, "Do you have an appointment?"
"Yes, I do have an appointment," Liu Qing replied. "A few days ago, she asked me to come to the office to look for her."
Then he shrugged. "Actually, when I took out my phone in the elevator, it was to send her a WeChat message to tell her that I'm here."
President Su was stunned. "You know the chairwoman's WeChat account?"
Secretary Feng's face turned pale.
If this person was related to the chairwoman, her days in the company were going to be difficult.
Liu Qing nodded. "Yes, we added each other on WeChat."
Not only had he added Ding Yun on WeChat, but he had also saved her phone number. However, his many years of living in poverty meant that he did not have a habit of making phone calls. If he could contact someone on WeChat, he would do that so that he did not need to waste money on phone calls.
"Can I take a look?" President Su asked.
Then, she explained herself, "It's like this. There have been cases of people pretending to be our chairwoman on WeChat in the past. I just want to see if the WeChat account you added is real."
"No problem."
Liu Qing opened the WeChat page on his phone and pointed at the WeChat contact saved under the name "Mom".
"That's the one. You can check if it's real."
When President Su saw the name he used to save the contact, she could not help but look at Liu Qing with a strange expression.
The profile picture was indeed the chairwoman's profile picture.
However, the profile picture could not prove anything as it was the easiest thing to spoof.
She opened the chat window and saw Liu Qing's last WeChat message, "Mom, I'm at Tianyuan Tower. Are you at work now?" She looked at the time and confirmed that it was sent when he was in the elevator with her secretary.
It was the way he addressed the chairwoman that made her raise her eyebrows.
Then she clicked into the person's WeChat Moments page and looked at the contents. It was indeed the chairwoman, not an impostor.
She thought to herself, "My father has only been gone for 35 days. Has the old witch started to play around with godsons now?"
It did not strike her that the cheap-looking man in front of her was really the chairwoman's biological son. She only thought about the currently popular game among rich women, where they play around with young men whom they termed as godsons.
She glanced at Liu Qing and felt even more disgusted by this man.
A healthy young man choosing to do such a dirty thing instead of finding a proper job.
As far as she was concerned, this was even more shameful behavior than secretly filming others.
She also could not understand why the chairwoman would summon such a person to her office.
Did she intend to arrange a position for this dirty fellow in the company, or did she just want to have fun with him in the office?
She did not care if it was the latter scenario.
If it was the former scenario, then it would be a bad thing.
She had no right to interfere with the chairwoman's private life and could only despise the chairwoman in her heart.
It's the chairwoman, so what could she do?
She returned the phone to Liu Qing and said, "The chairwoman doesn't come to work so early. On normal days, she usually comes in the afternoon. Sometimes, she doesn't come in at all."
