"Are you punishing me?" Si Yechen persisted, "As long as you forgive me, I'm willing to do anything."
Upon hearing this, Qingyan's eyes brightened. "Really?"
"Yes," Si Yechen nodded earnestly, waiting for the girl's punishment.
"Then I'll punish you by not letting you see me for two days, so that I can have some peace and quiet."
She really needed some time alone, and there were many things waiting for her personal attention.
Lately, she couldn't get things done because this guy kept bothering her!
This was indeed a good opportunity.
"Yan Yan..."
This punishment was too harsh for Si Yechen!
His heart felt like it was being torn apart, the pain mingling with a soft plea, "Can we change it?"
"...," Qingyan was a bit speechless, "Wasn't it your suggestion?"
"Don't say two days, I can't even do it for two hours," Si Yechen looked at her seriously and honestly, "How could I not find you?!"
"Then I'll punish you by keeping my distance from you these two days, no touching."
At least not attracting attention in public...
"..."
This punishment was equally heavy for Si Yechen. He bargained with the girl, "Can we have a different punishment? Like hiring someone to beat me up and I'll cover the cost?"
"Do you have an itch?!"
"Or starving me for a few days, making me kneel on the keyboard..."
"..."
Li Yusha, who was on the side, was really angry and couldn't stand it anymore!
"Sister, that's enough. I was just talking to Archen. Why are you making things difficult for him? Your temper is too..."
"What does it have to do with you?" Qingyan casually raised her gaze, seemingly indifferent to her, exuding an imposing aura that made people somewhat apprehensive.
Si Yechen carefully examined the girl's beautiful face and said, "Even if you punish me by making me kneel for three days and three nights, I have no objections."
"Did you hear that?" Qingyan looked at Li Yusha with a disdainful tone, "Our matters don't concern you."
Si Yechen, upon hearing this, was extremely delighted. Qingyan referred to it as "our matters"! "Our"!!
Li Yusha was infuriated and could only look at Si Yechen, "Archen, you can't always indulge the girl. If it continues like this, you will..."
"I'm willing." Si Yechen was still immersed in the joy from earlier and glanced discontentedly at Li Yusha. "An engaged fiancee should be doted on. Whatever Yanyan does to me, I'll be happy."
Li Yusha was truly infuriated. "I'm afraid of the future..."
"If you get angry at me in the future, it only shows that you care about me," Si Yechen said, looking at the girl in his arms with tender and affectionate eyes.
Qingyan: ...
Li Yusha: !!!
"Hey, is this not the right time for such affection in the early morning?" Li Yuanfu quickly halted his steps, cheerfully embracing Song Qiaoying's shoulder. "Wife, let's go to the garden for breakfast. Let's leave some space for the kids..."
"Alright, alright..." Song Qiaoying couldn't stop smiling. She immediately spoke to Li Yusha, who was still sitting at the dining table, "Sasa, what are you standing there for? Let's go..."
Don't disturb the world of Archen and Yanyan!
Li Yusha reluctantly glanced at Si Yechen, unsure how he fell for Qingyan's tricks!
What's so great about Qingyan after all!
With no one else around, Si Yechen became uninhibited and incessantly clung to Qingyan.
Finally reaching the company, Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Upon seeing He Ning, she instructed in a low voice, "Go and bring the production manager Chen and the team leader from line four-five to my office."
"Yes." He Ning went to summon them, and the employees in the company started gossiping once again.
Ever since Qingyan took over the company, whenever someone was summoned by her, their fate would be absolutely miserable!
This time, she had He Ning call the production manager and the team leader from line four-five...
Many curious employees secretly followed their footsteps, wanting to know if something big was happening.
"Miss Qing, did you summon us?"
The manager who entered was around forty years old, tall and thin, appearing slightly malnourished, but his sharp eyes carried a glimmer of shrewdness.
The other two team leaders seemed somewhat timid and uneasy, but they still managed to squeeze out a smile and greeted in unison, "Good morning, Miss Qing."
Qingyan didn't waste any time and directly placed her phone on the desk, playing the recording.
"Xiao Wang, as the leader of Line 4, how could you take the lead in opposing me? Whether you agree or not, things have to be done this way... "
"Manager Chen, didn't Mr. Hu promise us a better future? He said our days would be filled with hope, if not prosperous, at least worry-free."
"Has Mr. Hu mistreated you all this year? Can't you see it? Now there's a new manager, Qing, overseeing everything. Lines 4 and 5 must be shut down, and the inventory in the warehouse must be cleared in the next few days. Otherwise, not just you and me, even Mr. Hu will be in trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Manager Chen and Line 4 leader Wang Bang turned pale!
These were the words they spoke in the corridor, and someone had clearly recorded them...
Could there be a bug in the corridor?
Or did Qing Yan really eavesdrop last night?!
"Manager Qing, this, this is..." Manager Chen couldn't believe it and had no idea how to explain it!!
It's impossible!!
He had checked the surveillance footage. No one entered or left the company last night. He deliberately inspected the surveillance footage, and it was recording every second. If someone appeared, they would definitely be captured!
Unless that person could turn invisible!!
Otherwise... how could all of this be explained?!
Could there really be a bug?!
"No need to explain hastily," Qing Yan said casually and played another recording.
"Manager Chen, if Manager Qing really came to the company and knows what we're producing, what should we do?"
"If Qing Yan investigates like this, it won't be long before all our secrets are exposed!"
"Will we lose our jobs because of this?"
"If Qing Yan catches us, not only will we lose our jobs, but we might even end up in jail!"
"If someone happens to have an accident on the way to or from work, we can't be blamed... it's just their bad luck."
Manager Chen was terrified. He was the one who said the last sentence, and now Qing Yan played it in front of him. His face turned ashen, completely devoid of color. He felt like the sky was falling, that everything was ruined!
The other two team leaders were also frightened, their legs trembling. They couldn't believe that their conversation in the warehouse last night was recorded in its entirety!
They didn't even have a chance to defend themselves.
It turned out that Manager Chen didn't mishear it last night. There was a sound of a vibrating phone. Someone must have been hiding in the warehouse recording!
But who could it be, and how did they manage it?!
They had thoroughly searched every nook and cranny of the warehouse multiple times. Not even a mosquito could fly out of their sight!
How did the recording end up in their hands?
