At home, there lay a paralyzed Tong Le. Without saying a word, she found herself unexpectedly pregnant. She hadn’t even gotten married or figured out who she wanted to spend her life with. Everything was happening too fast, pushing her forward without a moment to breathe.
Right now, she liked a man, and in order to deal with a disgusting woman, she was prepared to resign. To save face, she blurted out that she was pregnant.
It was chaos! Complete chaos! She felt like she was losing her mind!
At this moment, Zong Jin remained rational. He showed no change in expression even when faced with Lan Qingqing’s relentless threats. He stood firm as a mountain, fully aware of how to navigate the current situation and how to continue the conversation with Lan Qingqing.
Zong Jin spoke, “So, what are your thoughts now? The reason I am letting you go is due to your frequent conflicts with your supervisor, which have escalated to a life-threatening level. Leaving the company is a win-win choice for both you and the organization, and I have offered you the highest compensation package. Yet you tell me now that you are pregnant and cannot leave the company. Is there a necessary connection between these two things? Your pregnancy has nothing to do with your conflicts with your supervisor.”
Zong Jin was clearly laying out the logic for Lan Qingqing, who felt utterly humiliated. She thought her last shred of dignity had been torn apart, but she had no choice but to tough it out.
Lan Qingqing insisted, “Zong Jin, the conflict between Wu Youyou and me is clearly instigated by her unreasonable behavior. As a leader of this organization, you cannot possibly be blind to that. I admit that I initially targeted Wu Youyou, but I did so entirely from the perspective of what’s best for the company. My sudden claim of pregnancy isn’t without reason; I have always seen myself as part of Zong Group and have worked hard for it. Yet now, during this vulnerable time in my pregnancy, the company wants to let me go over interpersonal issues. I find that unfair.”
The more Lan Qingqing spoke, the more passionate she became. “If you really do let me go, as just a small employee, I wouldn’t significantly impact the company’s business. However, I believe there will be much public discourse regarding Zong Group. Known for treating female employees well, suddenly firing a pregnant employee would not reflect well on us.”
She was on the verge of saying that public opinion could bring down the company; she acted impulsively without considering the consequences.
Zong Jin showed no emotion; it was clear he had lost this round.
To maintain the company’s image, Zong Jin had no choice but to concede. “Fine, since it has come to this, I will accept your proposal but I need a medical diagnosis certificate from you. You can submit it directly to Human Resources.”
Lan Qingqing responded eagerly, “Okay, no problem.”
As she left Zong Jin’s office, she walked briskly down the corridor until she reached the heavy metal door of the safety stairwell and pushed it open.
Inside the stairwell was silent. The moment the door closed behind her, she felt like a rabid dog ready to unleash its fury. She screamed into the empty stairwell until her voice went hoarse and her eyes turned red from crying.
Her body trembled as her left hand gripped the stair railing tightly while she slowly crouched down.
With her right hand, she struck her forehead repeatedly—once after another—holding back tears and enduring pain.
This wasn’t how she wanted things to end; everything had spiraled out of control and she didn’t even know how to face what came next.
It was all Wu Youyou’s fault! Not just Wu Youyou; there were also Ke Jie and Tong Le! If Tong Le hadn’t monopolized Ke Jie’s attention, she wouldn’t be feeling so lost about her unexpected pregnancy!
She hated Wu Youyou! She hated Tong Le!
And that Dao Wen—she could seduce Zong Jin but then an infuriating escort came along and stole his heart!
Lan Qingqing glared at the wall in front of her with hatred in her eyes. She had to pull herself together; she absolutely could not give up! She would get what she wanted!
