Chapter 352 - 302: Dismissal_3
"I’m just really curious, why did you do this? What’s in it for you? And how did you meet An Yuyao?" Seeing that Liu Zhiyan still refused to speak, Cen Jin asked again.Liu Zhiyan lowered her head, clenching her fists on her lap: "My childhood friend happens to be her classmate. We had a meal together some time ago, and that’s how we met. Yesterday morning she sent me a WeChat saying she’d treat me to lunch. When I met her at noon, she asked about the progress of your competition entry and wanted me to find a way to steal your script and send it to her. I... really did it."
"Why?"
"Why? Because you’re too biased! You assign everything to Ling Quan and Fan Yunru, even though I’m the hardest working among them. Take the last case for example, it was clearly mine, but you gave it to Ling Quan and Fan Yunru, making me organize the fabric library. You always send me on external assignments. Last time, you said I was careless for getting the material records wrong, something so simple. You handed it over to Fan Yunru and made me redo all the line work. An Yuyao said I’d never have a chance to stand out with you. If I helped her, she would hire me with a high salary when she sets up her own studio." Liu Zhiyan spoke with excitement, her gaze filled with anger and determination. She couldn’t endure Cen Jin’s favoritism any longer; every time, Cen Jin would only favor Ling Quan and Fan Yunru.
Cen Jin was taken aback, taking quite a while before she spoke: "So, that’s how you think." After saying this, she let out a light chuckle: "Ling Ran even often says I’m biased towards you! I send you on external assignments to help you gain experience. Sooner or later, you’ll have to stand on your own. Regarding the last case, your style indeed wasn’t suitable. Ling Quan and Yunru have a more divergent thinking in the Korean style field, and they have more ideas. I initially intended to give you the job if Miss Zhai’s case was secured, but unfortunately, it didn’t happen. Now that things have come to this, there’s no need to continue the conversation. I’ve already said enough. I didn’t expect you had such deep prejudice against me. If there were parts where you felt uncomfortable or dissatisfied, I apologize. Besides, since you have another place to go, this small temple can’t keep you. I’ll calculate your salary for today and transfer it to you via WeChat tonight; I won’t deduct a single penny. Take care of yourself! As for An Yuyao plagiarizing my work, I won’t let it go easily. Let’s see if she can set up her studio—consider that your punishment." After speaking, Cen Jin stood up, signaled to Jiang Baizhou and Yu Feici, paid the bill, and left the restaurant.
Liu Zhiyan was left sitting in her place, stunned and unresponsive for quite some time.
After leaving the restaurant, Yu Feici gave her a thumbs up: "I thought you might give her a chance to repent! But you just said it and left. Very nice, I like this approach."
Cen Jin chuckled lightly: "Once unfaithful, never again. Since she could betray me over that, I don’t know what else she might do in the future. I don’t want to live cautiously, guarding against this and that. By the way, did you record everything?"
"Rest assured when I handle things." Yu Feici raised an eyebrow, shaking the phone in her hand: "I’ll deal with it when I get back and send it to you later."
"Alright." Cen Jin nodded with a smile, taking a deep breath: "This matter seems to have a glimmer of hope now, but I have to say, luck is indeed a kind of strength. If I hadn’t run into Aunt Han today at noon, I wouldn’t even know where to start!"
"Yes, it’s quite fortunate! Anyway, it’s time for An Yuyao to suffer a bit." Yu Feici patted her on the shoulder, looking at the time: "Thanks for the meal today. I have to go back, I have a report to write, and I need to work on your recording, so I’m really busy. I’ll probably have to stay up late."
"Alright, thank you! Feici, I’ll treat you to a meal later."
"No need for formalities, we’re close enough for that, saying ’thanks’ is too distant. Bye!" Yu Feici said with a smile, putting her black baseball cap back on, deliberately lowering it a bit before turning to leave.
