Song Tingshen’s work efficiency was very fast too, especially since he was very concerned about this matter. It wasn’t difficult for him to investigate someone in the capital city. After all, he had been in the business world for many years. He had all the necessary contacts. Once he was done with the work at hand, he opened the email from his friend. It contained detailed information about Qin Yu.

  He had previously asked his assistant to check this company, but not the boss of the company. After reading the results of the investigation and connecting to what happened so far, it was all very suspicious.

  Qin Yu’s wife had passed away a few years ago. They had been married for over a decade and didn’t have children. It was said that the issue of no children came from the woman’s side. Qin Yu had done very well in his career, but he was rather low-key and rarely made an appearance at social occasions. A few months ago, he suddenly opened a branch office. He chose the location of that office near their mansion district. The office was opened as fast as possible. From the perspective of various analysis, there was no reason for him to open this branch office. It was so strange of him to do so.

  Song Tingshen recalled Ruan Xia’s words. She had told him there was basically no work to do at her job. She was only responsible for one customer and this customer would only order goods once every few months. Qin Yu wasn’t a philanthropist, so why would he make the mistake of opening an unnecessary branch office?

  It was here that Song Tingshen got perplexed. How could Qin Yu like Ruan Xia? The information clearly showed that Qin Yu and Ruan Xia hadn’t met until now. There was a predicament if he wanted to continue logical reasoning. Even if they did know each other somehow, then when did they meet? Qin Yu’s personal life was very simple and low-key. Ruan Xia used to love to play, but those friends of hers obviously had nothing to do with Qin Yu.

  Song Tingshen intuitively felt that even if Ruan Xia resigned from her job, this matter won’t end so easily.

  —


  Ruan Xia received a response from the manager in the afternoon.

  The manager’s expression was somewhat relaxed. “I discussed it over with HR. Your probationary period is already over. You’re now a permanent employee of the company. As you know, when a permanent employee resigns, it takes about a month to hand over their work.”


  Ruan Xia was outwardly smiling and inwardly cursing.

  When she had wanted to take her family on the company retreat, the manager told her that she wasn’t a permanent employee yet so she didn’t have that perk. Now that she wanted to resign, the manager was saying that she was a permanent employee and had to follow the procedure of staying here a month to transfer her work.

  Even if you were going to change faces, you shouldn’t do it that quickly, right?!

  Fine, she accepted this.

  Despite that, Ruan Xia still said, “Alright then, but my husband is rather stubborn……”


  Anyways, Song Tingshen had said she could depend on him. So she could push the blame onto him. It’s not like anyone here knew him.

  “As you know, my family isn’t lacking money. My husband gave me the deadline of one week to resign.” Ruan Xia looked like she was being put in a difficult spot. “I’ll go home and discuss this over with my husband. If he doesn’t agree to it, there’s nothing I can do about it. As you know, I’m completely reliant on my husband financially. In this day and age, economic foundation determines the power dynamic. I don’t have much say in my family.”


  When she said that, she seemed so wronged, like a pitiful little thing.

  The manager thought; yeah right. I have eyes. I can see that your husband is totally acquiesce to you.

  However, it was exactly because they had gone on a company retreat together for a few days that the manager was in a complicated mood now. She thought that Ruan Xia’s husband was truly very good. Not only was he handsome, he was also stable. He was also patient enough with their child. He was a good husband and father in the truest sense. If she continued doing this, was this the same as p*mping out a married woman?
