Tong Le left the conference room, and Lan Qingqing returned to the office hall alone. As she approached her desk, she saw it piled high with documents, stacked up to her arm's height. A colleague nearby explained that these were sent by Wu Youyou, who insisted that she must verify them and finish everything by the end of the day; otherwise, she couldn't leave work.
Lan Qingqing's anger flared up instantly. With so many documents, how could she possibly finish them all in one day? Her colleague shrugged helplessly and suggested that she go talk to Wu Youyou. They agreed that it seemed a bit unreasonable, but after all, Wu Youyou was a relative of Dazong Zong.
Lan Qingqing seethed with rage. What kind of relative was she? Her sister was already deceased; what connection did she have with Dazong Zong? It seemed to her that Wu Youyou was leveraging her sister’s marriage to Dazong Zong to blackmail him for life. How disgusting!
Lan Qingqing had been holding in this frustration for a long time, and now she couldn't contain it any longer; she vented her feelings without restraint. Unbeknownst to her, just two meters behind her, Wu Youyou had suddenly appeared.
Her colleague tried several times to catch Lan Qingqing's attention with subtle gestures, but Lan Qingqing was too engrossed in her tirade to notice. Every harsh word fell directly into Wu Youyou's ears.
Wu Youyou finally spoke up, "Lan Qingqing, you really have some guts! You dare to call me out by name and even insult my late sister? And you dragged my brother-in-law into this too! I underestimated you!"
Hearing Wu Youyou's voice behind her felt like a cold wave crashing over Lan Qingqing; her legs turned weak, and cold sweat broke out on her back. She felt faint.
Wu Youyou looked at Lan Qingqing's stiff back with an expression of calmness. Then Lan Qingqing slowly turned around, unable to meet Wu Youyou's gaze.
Wu Youyou continued, "So tell me, do you want to keep your job at Zong or do you want to leave right now? The choice is yours."
With a trembling voice, Lan Qingqing replied, "I’m sorry, Wu Youyou! I just... I just lost my temper! I promise I will work hard from now on! I won't act like that again!"
Wu Youyou said, "This is your choice; I'm not forcing you. Since you want to stay at Zong, then starting now, you need to apologize to every employee from the first floor of Zong Shi Yan Tuan all the way up to the top floor. You must say 'I'm sorry' and bow at a ninety-degree angle."
Lan Qingqing gritted her teeth; this was nothing short of a nightmare!
Wu Youyou added, "Otherwise, just quit!"
Reluctantly, Lan Qingqing agreed. "Fine! I'll do it right away."
She hurriedly left the office hall while Wu Youyou stood still for a moment, pondering.
Wu Youyou genuinely felt that Lan Qingqing had no shame or dignity if she could accept such harsh conditions. What determination did it take for her to want to keep working at Zong Shi Yan Tuan?
Wu Youyou turned to her colleague and asked, "Does Lan Qingqing have some compelling reason for wanting to stay at Zong Shi Yan Tuan? Why doesn’t she just quit? And what’s with that ragged dress she’s wearing? It looks like something from a thrift store—wrinkled and worn out!"
Her colleague looked awkward and explained hesitantly, "I’m not sure what’s going on with Lan Qingqing. She used to have a different style; it’s like she suddenly changed overnight."
Wu Youyou casually flipped through the documents on Lan Qingqing's desk and found a folk music album among them.
A cold smile crept onto Wu Youyou's face. Someone like Lan Qingqing dared to dabble in folk music? What an insult to the genre!
Wu Youyou recalled her sister, who had passed away many years ago. In the past, her sister loved clothing in the Forest Style. Back then, she sang in the university choir, her voice like a celestial melody, carrying her guitar everywhere to perform. At every show, her brother-in-law would be there, supporting her from the audience.
Meanwhile, downstairs at the Zong Shi Yan Tuan...
