“Zhou Lili, tell us the truth: who or what kind of person, and at what time, violated Jiang Qiuying while she was in an unclear state of mind?” The police officer was not taking this lightly; whether it was rape or drugging, both were serious offenses.
“I... I’ve already said everything... I heard it from someone else, and she won’t let go of me. She’s targeting me on purpose!” Zhou Lili was being unreasonable.
I pulled out my phone and played a video of the two of them chatting animatedly. “The rumors about me have spread throughout the company because of what you said. They want to fire me, and it has caused extremely negative effects online. Now you say you heard it from someone else! Can you just spread unverified information like that?”
With a loud bang, the officer slammed a pair of handcuffs on the table. “Whether it’s spreading rumors or making false claims, depending on the content and the impact caused, it may involve legal issues such as defamation, slander, and infringement of reputation rights. Based on what we know, you are suspected of spreading false information that has harmed others' reputations and caused other negative consequences. Come with us!”
Zhou Lili burst into tears. “Officer, my daughter is taking college entrance exams this year! If you take me away, it will affect her! I beg you to let me go; I’ll bow to you and apologize to Xiao Jiang. I can pay compensation too…”
“Sister Zhou, if you’re just someone who spread hearsay, you should tell the police who you heard it from. If you can’t say it, I can only conclude that you are the one fabricating facts. I’m at my wit's end; I feel like dying and will definitely not forgive you!” I wiped my tears, looking pitiful.
Zhou Lili was on the verge of collapse. Realizing she couldn’t fool anyone anymore, she rolled her eyes back and pretended to faint.
Liu Juanjuan assessed the situation and decided to come forward with a confession: “I know; it was Old Zeng who told her!”
“Who is Old Zeng?”
“Zeng Huairen, our logistics manager and the boss's driver!” Liu Juanjuan spilled the beans like a bamboo tube pouring out beans. “Old Zeng has a good relationship with her and even said that President Zeng told her many secrets…”
Feigning ignorance, Zhou Lili suddenly jumped up and started tearing at Liu Juanjuan. “I’ll tear your mouth apart!”
Old Zeng was called in. This greasy old driver no longer held the imposing air he had when he was under one man but above all others in the company; he trembled as he pointed at Liu Juanjuan, mumbling incoherently, “You… you…”
The boss had just returned from a business trip and was summoned along with his wife, Liu Feifei.
The situation escalated further, but the ins and outs became clearer.
Old Zeng turned out to be the boss's cousin. Faced with Liu Juanjuan’s accusation and the fiery gaze of the boss's wife, this middle-aged man cried with snot and tears: “I saw her being bullied by those older employees… I wanted to help her get away so that Xiao Zhou could become a pillar of the Performance Department again!”
Liu Feifei slapped her cousin hard across the face. “You’ve embarrassed me completely! Pack your things and get as far away as possible!”
The boss’s face turned pale but showed little other reaction.
In front of everyone, Liu Feifei apologized to me and asked me to sign a letter of understanding: “Xiao Jiang, it’s all because my sister is too anxious… I apologize to you!” Then she turned to her husband: “Old Ji, say something!”
I remained noncommittal.
Upon learning that I was the one who had been slapped in that viral local news story as the “mistress,” the leading officer solemnly told me: “It is your right to pursue civil and legal responsibilities against those involved!” As he spoke, he glanced around at Old Zeng, Zhou Lili, and Liu Juanjuan, causing them to lower their heads like startled ducks while casting pitiful looks toward me and the boss and his wife.
I signed the memorandum of understanding, and aside from publicly apologizing to me in front of the police officer, old Zeng, Zhou Lili, and Liu Juanjuan all "resigned" from the company.
The company's official short video account launched a series of clips featuring me as the lead actress and the boss's wife as the second lead. We portrayed a life crafted by Teacher Hu, dining at Western restaurants, watching movies, partying, and shopping together, appearing as close as sisters.
The two "enemies" from the local trending incident were now seen enjoying each other's company. What kind of scandal was this? Our account's follower count skyrocketed, and after the public announcement from the police department was pinned to our profile, online criticism against me fell apart. My fans seemed to have taken smart pills, showering me with affection in various ways, and business offers came pouring in like snowflakes.
This was not just traffic; it was an overwhelming fortune! The boss couldn't stop grinning.
Because Sister Liu caused a scene at the company, he became a laughingstock among his peers as the male lead in the rumors. Now that his grievances were cleared, he had also become a viral sensation.
One night at the bar, Sister Fei Fei got tipsy and pulled me aside, slurring her words: "I don't know whether to thank you or hate you!"
