Qiao Sisi secretly glared at Zheng Zeyi. She had agreed to pretend to be his fiancée, but she felt that something was wrong.
Anna was right. This man is indeed scheming and methodical, she thought.
Seeing her chubby face, Zheng Zeyi could not help but laugh softly. His deep voice tickled her heart like a feather.
Qiao Sisi's heart skipped a beat as she quickly took a step back and broke free from Zheng Zeyi's arms. She was clearly flustered.
But everyone in the company was watching, and it was not appropriate to show too much resistance.
QIao Sisi nodded and said, "I understand. I'll go back early tonight."
The moment this was said, the colleagues in the company exploded into discussion.
If not for Qiao Sisi's strong mental fortitude, she would have blushed.
Zheng Zeyi nodded in satisfaction and reached out to stroke Qiao Sisi's hair. He said, "Then I'm leaving, baby."
With that, he strode out of the company after turning back to glance at her.
Smiling radiantly, Qiao Sisi waved her hand to send away the demon.
He's finally gone…
Letting out a sigh of relief, Qiao Sisi's mood improved. Just as she was about to return to her desk, a group of people surrounded her.
"Sisi, are you really Young Master Zheng's fiancée?"
"Oh my god, Young Master Zheng's fiancée is actually working at Jinyu Corporation."
…
The torrent of words was overwhelming. Qiao Sisi did not know which question to answer first. She smiled awkwardly.
In the morning, these colleagues had ignored her. Now that Zheng Zeyi dropped by, they became friendly toward her.
She was not very enthusiastic about maintaining these working relationships.
Qiao Sisi cleared her throat and explained simply, "I am indeed Zheng Zeyi's fiancée. I just didn't announce it previously. Everyone, kindly disperse."
A sarcastic voice was heard.
Wei Ya leaned against the desk and crossed her arms. She said disdainfully, "Tsk, what can people who rely on their background to enter Jinyu do? Do you think this is one of those small places? One day, the competition here will make you want to run away."
With that, Wei Ya glanced at Qiao Sisi and left in her high heels.
Qiao Sisi stared at Wei Ya's back. Although she was being mocked, she still smiled.
Jinyu, as everyone knew, was heaven for jewelry designers.
But at the same time, this was a place where competition was extremely intense. Newcomers without abilities were basically eliminated.
No company was a shelter. Only capable people were valued and promoted step by step.
In the end, they would become famous designers in the jewelry industry, like the company's CEO, Xiang Jinyu.
At this point, Qiao Sisi could not help yearning for success and fame. Since she was here, she had to do her job well!
After Wei Ya said that, the onlookers dispersed. Qiao Sisi, who had some ambition, did not want to waste any more time and returned to her desk to look at the design drafts.
The thick stack of design drafts was placed on the desk. It would probably take a day to finish going through them.
Qiao Sisi sipped her coffee and looked at them intently.
The drafts that had been perused were placed on the other side of the desk. Soon the stack became higher.
"This is…"
Qiao Sisi's gaze rested on a design draft in her hand as she muttered.
The draft featured a series of exquisite crystal bracelets. Every bead was drawn in a lifelike manner. Be it the corners or the overall shapes, they were top-notch.
'This is a bracelet from the Starry Sky series.' A smile appeared on Qiao Sisi's face as she placed the design draft flat on the table and studied it carefully.
The Starry Sky series was a jewelry series designed by the company's CEO, Xiang Jinyu. It was expensive but very popular.
The style and design was very unique.
This was what she wanted to do!
Qiao Sisi was completely immersed and had no other distracting thoughts.
She did not expect that Zheng Zeyi, who had just left, would do another good thing for her.
A large office in Zheng Corporation.
Zheng Zeyi sat in a chair with Andy beside him.
"Andy, send this information to Zeng Qing's school. Send this to the police," Zheng Zeyi said with a cryptic expression.
He drummed his long fingers on the desk, producing rhythmic sounds.
Andy nodded and put the documents into his briefcase. "Alright, CEO. I understand. I'll go now."
These two documents were evidence of plagiarism and defamation by Zeng Qing.
As Qiao Sisi was his fiancée in name, Zheng Zeyi had to do something.
"Go on."
Andy left the CEO's office with the documents and rushed to the police station and Zeng Qing's school.
After dealing with this matter, Zheng Zeyi took a sip of tea on the table and remembered that little woman. His lips curled up.
You're a good person behind my back, so you should earn some interest, he thought.
…
Meanwhile, Zeng Qing was in an extremely pathetic state.
At the police station, several police officers were interrogating him in hopes of finding out the truth about the plagiarism case.
The evidence was on the table, so lying was useless.
Zeng Qing had no choice but to tell them about the theft of the thesis.
"I… I'm not going to jail, right?" Zeng Qing swallowed his saliva, feeling a little nervous.
The policeman in front of him sneered. "What do you think? Learning to plagiarize others' achievements, of all things? In addition, someone has reported you for defamation. The evidence is complete. You're definitely going to jail."
Hearing this, Zeng Qing really panicked.
No! I don't want to go to jail! Definitely not!
Zeng Qing's hands were trembling as he said in a trembling voice, "Can, can I make a call?"
The policeman frowned. After some discussion, he allowed it.
Holding the phone, Zeng Qing was extremely flustered. He dialed the wrong number a couple of times and only succeeded on the third try.
The "beep, beep" sounds from the phone made him even more nervous.
Zeng Qing held the phone tightly, the veins in his hands bulging. Soon the call was answered.
"Hello?" Zhang Li's clear and crisp voice sounded.
Zeng Qing, who felt like he had met his savior, was a little agitated. He said quickly, "Lili, Lili, save me. that b*tch, Qiao Sisi, got me arrested. Send someone to save me."
His voice trembled slightly. He only had one savior left!
The other end of the phone was silent for a while. Zhang Li was a little angry. "Zeng Qing! You still have the cheek to look for me? Not only did you have an affair with Qiao Sisi, but you also created such a scandal. How can a person like you be worthy of me!"
The string in Zeng Qing's heart snapped.
Zeng Qing held the phone for a long time without saying anything, which made Zhang Li feel a little baffled.
"Lili, are you unwilling to save me?" Zeng Qing's face flushed.
Zhang Li smiled coldly and said, "Being with you is a stain. I won't save you. Stop calling me!"
"Beep, beep…"
She had hung up. Zeng Qing's eyes were red as he squatted on the floor with his head in his hands. His life was ruined now.
Everything was destroyed!
The school had also sent notification that students like Zeng Qing, who had relied on plagiarism to gain admission, were not fit to be students. He was expelled.
Sometimes, losing everything came so quickly.
The sky gradually darkened, and the last hint of sunset disappeared into the horizon. The evening was melding into night.
It was almost time to get off work. The people from Jinyu Company packed their things and prepared to get off work.
"Sisi, aren't you going home?" Li Man walked past Qiao Sisi's desk and saw that she was still busy with the design drafts.
When she heard her voice, Qiao Sisi quickly looked up and smiled as she said, "I know. Thank you, Sister Li. I'll get going now."
With that, she placed the design drafts neatly in a file before picking up her bag to get off work.
She had gained a lot that day.
As she walked out of the company, Qiao Sisi was in a good mood. She had benefited greatly from those design drafts and had forgotten about the disgusting Zeng Qing in the morning.
"Buzz…"
The phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. Qiao Sisi made a guess. She picked it up and saw that it was indeed a call from Anna.
"Hey, what's up, Anna? I just got off work," Qiao Sisi said as she picked up her call.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Anna said in surprise, "Sisi, from your tone, do you still not know about that matter?"
"Know what? Tell me."
Qiao Sisi held the phone, a puzzled expression on her face. Could something have happened that she did not know about?
Chen Anna laughed loudly. "Sisi, don't you know, I just heard that Zeng Qing was expelled from school for plagiarism. It was amazing."
"So soon?" Qiao Sisi's eyes widened.
This incident had just happened today. She did not expect the school to know about it in just a few hours.
It seemed like Zheng Zeyi had done something.
"I don't think it's fast. He should have been arrested a long time ago. I knew Zeng Qing wasn't a good person. He cheated on Zhang Li behind your back and even plagiarized a thesis. Now he has been sentenced. He should just stay in jail," Chen Anna said in relief.
Yang Yueyue's scheme to use Zeng Qing to slander Qiao Sisi had failed. Now he was gone.
Qiao Sisi could not help laughing. After seeing Zeng Qing clearly, her feelings for this man had long disappeared.
Sentencing him to jail was probably the best news that day other than joining Jinyu Corporation.
"Oh right, Sisi, did Zeng Qing cause trouble at your company today?" Chen Anna suddenly remembered something and asked quickly.
QIao Sisi remembered what happened in the morning and replied, "Yes, how did you know?"
On the other end of the line, Chen Anna rubbed her chin in deep thought.
After a moment, she analyzed, "What I heard just now was that someone must be pulling strings for Zeng Qing to be exposed for plagiarism. Sisi, tell me the truth. Is it that scheming Zheng Zeyi?
Qiao Sisi got on the bus and found a seat before answering.
"My guess is… it should be so. When Zeng Qing came to cause trouble, he was the one who revealed the matter of plagiarism. He should be the one who did the rest. It's probably close to the mark."
After all, only Zheng Zeyi would help them now.
Qiao Sisi thought of the agreement between the two of them to pretend to be engaged and many thoughts immediately formed in her mind.
After a while, she quickly shook his head and suppressed the myriad of thoughts in her heart.
What am I thinking! Zheng Zeyi is ruthless. Acting is acting. Stop thinking!
Chen Anna did not know what was on Qiao Sisi's mind. She just smiled mischievously. "It seems like Zheng Zeyi is quite good to you."
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm home. I'll talk to you later." Qiao Sisi was speechless.
The bus had arrived at the bus stop. She quickly hung up and put the phone into her pocket.
Zheng Zeyi did not live in a villa. Instead he lived in an upscale apartment in the city center that was very safe and exquisitely designed.
Four bedrooms and a living room. Qiao Sisi had decided that it would probably take a long time for her to buy a similar apartment.
In her pocket was the apartment key that Zheng Zeyi had given her. The elevator quickly reached the 10th floor.
At the door, Qiao Sisi took out her key. When she opened the door, she saw that the lights in the apartment were on.
Zheng Zeyi, dressed in a bathrobe, was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When he heard the door open, he turned around and smiled.
"You're back."
Qiao Sisi forced a smile as if to answer, but her heart could not help beating faster. After closing the door, she walked straight to her room.
"Wait."
Zheng Zeyi's voice came from behind. Qiao Sisi stopped in her tracks and turned around. "What's wrong?"
As soon as she turned around, she came face-to-face with Zheng Zeyi on the sofa.
It seemed that he had just taken a shower, and small drops of water were still dripping from his hair. The water droplets slid down his exquisite collarbones and down to his chest, disappearing into a certain area blocked by his bathrobe.
It was too seductive!
Qiao Sisi's breathing became erratic. Her pupils constricted and she quickly looked away, her ears turning red.
Zheng Zeyi looked at her with a smile in his eyes and pointed to the kitchen. "As my fiancée, shouldn't you fulfill the responsibility of cooking?"
At this moment, Qiao Sisi only wanted to escape to her room. She nodded and agreed. "Alright, I'll do it later."
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran back to her room, as if there was a prehistoric beast behind her.
"Little wildcat…"
Zheng Zeyi's smile deepened as he watched her run away.
After running back to her room, Qiao Sisi hurriedly closed the door and panted with her back against it.
Fortunately, she had escaped from him.
Qiao Sisi's cheeks were still hot. She covered them with her hands and went to the toilet to wash her face with cold water.
Her racing heart had calmed down at this moment.
Useless.
Qiao Sisi looked at herself in the mirror in exasperation. Even if she did not deny that Zheng Zeyi was a handsome man, she should not be so embarrassed.
She wondered why that person was laughing behind her back!
Qiao Sisi shook her head and threw her bag on the bed.
After confirming that she came back to her senses, Qiao Sisi opened the door and left the room.
Zheng Zeyi was still sitting on the sofa, leaning against the soft pillow, but there was a white towel on his head.
