Eventually, her design was accepted and she worked with Dongfang Yu for a while.
Unexpectedly, she proved herself highly competent and has risen to the position of Secretary Director.
But she was young and too kind, too mild, which might have resulted in her being bullied.
Chai Xiyang really couldn’t watch this and stepped in, asking, “What are you doing?”
The crowd fell silent, looking in the direction of the voice to see a tall, handsome man approaching.
“President Chai…” they were surprised it was him and everyone was too scared to make a sound.
They had no idea how much of their conversation he had heard.
As Lin Xinxin met Chai Xiyang’s gaze, she immediately turned away to wipe her tears, not wanting him to see her in such a humiliating situation.
Chai Xiyang remained silent, not saying a word as he walked into the CEO’s office.
Dongfang Yu was on the phone, asking the Public Relations Department to handle the incident.
When he saw, Xiyang entered the room, he hung up the phone, “Why are you here?”
Dongfang Yu and Chai Xiyang had been close friends since childhood.
Chai Xiyang came here because of the incident that occurred today.
“I heard about your intended divorce, is it true?” he changed the topic with a counter-question.
Dongfang Yu didn’t give a direct response, “All I want to figure out now, is who let the story out.”
Chai Xiyang leaned back casually in his chair, “Do you want to know what just happened out there?”
Dongfang Yu raised an eyebrow, indicating him to continue.
Chai Xiyang conveyed all that he had observed.
He detailed everything very carefully, even the part where Lin Xinxin had been crying. He wasn’t sure why he had detailed it so thoroughly, perhaps he didn’t want to see such a kind and fragile girl bullied.
“If she’s blamed for this, what do you intend to do?” Chai Xiyang couldn’t help but ask.
Dongfang Yu didn’t react much, “She didn’t do it. Why would she need to admit to it?”
Just as Dongfang finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.
“Come in!”
Lin Xinxin entered the room alone; no one else had followed her in.
Her eyes were slightly red; she had evidently been crying.
But she held her head high, her face was calm, and her clear eyes were filled with candid light.
“President…” She bowed slightly to Dongfang Yu and then turned to Chai Xiyang, “President Chai, hello.”
Chai Xiyang stared at her intently, but didn’t say anything.
“How is the investigation going? Who leaked the information?” Dongfang Yu asked directly.
Lin Xinxin shifted her gaze around him, “President, this is my fault, and I’m willing to resign.”
Dongfang Yu’s voice grew low, “So, you did it?”
“No matter who did it, it’s my fault. My negligence has caused the company to suffer losses! I’m willing to take full responsibility and accept any punishment!”
Chai Xiyang frowned, she was indeed taking the blame for this.
Dongfang Yu looked indifferent, “So this is the result of your deliberation, you’re taking all the responsibility alone?”
“No, this is my personal decision, it has nothing to do with anyone else!” Lin Xinxin hurriedly explained.
The more she defended herself, the more apparent it was that she had nothing to do with this.
Knowing what happened earlier, Dongfang Yu was pretty certain that she was being scapegoated.
If they couldn’t find out who leaked the news, naturally the Chief Secretary would have to stand out to take responsibility.
Dongfang Yu paused for a moment and said lightly, “Call the others in..”
