Chapter 642

yan."Sunlight streamed through the window, blanketing everything in a brilliant white.Ho Mingzheng's face was half in light and half in shadow, his eyes unreadable."Why her" His voice was calm, not at...The next day, Fu Yan woke up and received a text message from Cao Man— 【I will definitely make you pay double! 】

The text message content was strange. Fu Yan took a look but didn't respond.

The morning manager's meeting began, and that's when she discovered that Cao Man had taken a leave of absence.

Some colleagues were discussing how Cao Man's family has a younger brother who "needs feeding" and she usually doesn't take leave. She gets her full attendance bonus every month, and no one knows what happened to make such a hardworking employee take leave.

Fu Yan thought about the text message she saw when she woke up.

As her coworker's gossip became increasingly outlandish, she stopped listening and immediately returned to her office. She called Cao Man, but the call went straight to voicemail, indicating that her phone was off.

Not until the next day did Cao Man appear in the company wearing a mask. Someone inquired about her with concern, but she ignored them, acting indifferent. When it came to the morning meeting, Manager Duan asked her.

She hoarsely said, "I have a cold and I'm afraid of infecting everyone."

The manager continued the meeting, holding a tablet in her hand but her gaze was fixed on Fu Yan who sat across from her.

Remembering the tender scene between Fu Yan and Fu Hanlin last night downstairs in her building, she gnashed her teeth in hatred. Her eyes, already bloodshot, now blazed with intense animosity.

Back in her own office, Cao Man removed her mask and looked at her reflection. Even with several layers of concealer, the bite marks on her cheeks and the purplish bruises on her neck were still visible.

Especially the mouth, after yesterday's rest, it is still swollen, and the throat hurts fiercely because it was stretched open.

The night before last, she was knocked unconscious. When she woke up early yesterday morning, her first reaction was to call the police.

The two men were arranged by Fu Hanlin, and the aphrodisiac was from her. Even if she reported it to the police, would they accept it

By then, Fu Hanlin will distance himself from the situation and she will be left with the blame. By then, she won't even have a chance to stand her ground in Nancheng.

And that pocket watch was also taken, she lost her only chance to get close to Fu Hanlin.

She can't call the police, she wants Fu Hanlin to know that she's afraid, she can only swallow her teeth and pretend it never happened.

She stared at her tear-stained eyes in the mirror, her teeth chattering uncontrollably. She couldn't just give up like this. She deserved a life she hadn't been given, why did someone else get to have it

Why does she get to be lucky and have it all while I don't

But it doesn't matter, Fu Yan's time is up.

This afternoon is the announcement of the bidding results. She has tampered with it, so the bid from New Cheng will be one percentage point lower than Fang Xin's. This blatant bid rigging behavior, even if Huo Hanlin and Huo Mingzheng vouch for Yan, her reputation will be ruined, her career will end here, and no one in the industry will dare to hire her in the future

When the afternoon work hours began, Cao Man opened her webpage and stared at the public notice from the city government.

3:30 p.m., it will be made public.

Caoman stared at the Fangxin Group in red on the screen. The two characters seemed like daggers stabbing into her eyes.

She forcefully swept everything off the table onto the floor!

How is that possible

For fairness, this public notice will also display the bids from other companies.

She looked at the price of Fang Xin displayed on the screen. It was different from what she saw when she snuck into Fu Yan's office the previous night, a full percentage point lower than before.

It's not like that at all. Clearly, she saw......

At this moment, Cao Man suddenly realized that she had fallen into Fu Yan's trap!

There was a sound of something falling inside the office. A colleague who passed by Cao Man's office kindly knocked on the door and asked, "Cao Deputy Manager, are you alright Are you okay"

Cao Man calmed herself down, took a deep breath, and said, "It's okay, the things just accidentally fell."

A chill ran down her spine. If Fu Yan had anticipated this, would there be surveillance cameras in her office

That night she snuck in, tried her phone but couldn't find the camera. It probably wasn't monitored.een flickered, but Huo Mingzheng seemed not to hear, not even giving an extra glance.Qin Heng glanced at the caller ID.Li Qin."Azheng, today is Xiaochin's birthday," Qin Heng reminded him.Huo Mingzhen...
