"How is that possible?"
Xi Qian felt he was talking nonsense.
"It's true, the surveillance footage captured it!"
Her ex-boyfriend spoke seriously.
Xi Qian dismissed it, hanging up the phone.
As the holiday ended and Xi Qian entered the office, her supervisor threw a task at her.
"This hosting opportunity is very important; don't mess it up."
"Me? Host?"
Xi Qian pointed at herself in disbelief.
"What, you don't want to?"
The greasy middle-aged man frowned in displeasure.
Xi Qian hurriedly shook her head. "No, I just worry I won't do well."
"You just need to read from the script; there won't be any problems."
"Okay, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Xi Qian began to get busy.
Fortunately, she had prepared thoroughly, and the hosting task was completed smoothly.
Her best friend was very excited and said she would treat her to dinner to celebrate.
However, Xi Qian couldn't feel happy about it.
She recalled her ex-boyfriend's words.
Was her home really haunted?
She took a leave of absence and went to buy surveillance cameras, secretly installing one in the living room.
But the cameras could only save seven days' worth of footage.
She had no way of knowing what happened during the National Day holiday.
She began to feel inexplicably afraid.
Is there really someone secretly helping her?
Who is this person?
Why is he doing this?
Xi Qian couldn't come up with an answer.
A few days later, Xi Qian went to work as usual.
The director called her to the office.
Xi Qian hesitated for a moment but still went in.
She nervously pushed open the door and saw the director sitting behind his desk.
"Director, what do you need me for?"
The greasy man looked her up and down. "Xiao Wu, have you lost weight recently?"
"Uh, I don't think so."
Xi Qian instinctively took a step back.
"Don't be nervous."
The man stood up and walked toward her.
"I just noticed you've been looking tired lately, and I wanted to give you a little reward."
He slowly approached Xi Qian, his gaze unsettling.
"Don't do that!"
Xi Qian panicked and pushed him away, turning to run outside.
"Why are you running?"
The man grabbed her wrist.
"If you keep this up, I'll fire you!"
Xi Qian's heart sank.
She remembered what Ma Xiaowei had said: if she encountered difficulties, she could ask him for help.
She trembled as she took out her phone, wanting to contact Ma Xiaowei.
Just then, a colleague appeared at the door.
"Director, the editor-in-chief is looking for you."
The man shot Xi Qian a glare and left in frustration.
Xi Qian sighed in relief, hurried back to her workstation, and began to pack her things.
She wanted to go home.
She didn't want to stay here for another minute.
"Xi Qian, are you okay?"
Ma Xiaowei's voice rang in her ears.
Xi Qian felt a lump in her throat and nearly cried.
"I... I'm fine."
"Just go home for today. We'll talk about your resignation over the weekend."
"Okay."
Xi Qian returned home with her tablet.
She lay on her bed, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
She really wanted to tell Ma Xiaowei that she had encountered a perverted boss.
But she didn't dare to.
She was afraid of becoming a burden to others.
She cried heartbrokenly.
In her dreams, she felt someone comforting her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
When she woke up the next morning, Huahua was lying beside her.
Xi Qian felt warmth in her heart.
She still has Huahua.
After taking two days off, Xi Qian adjusted her mood and returned to the company.
She was prepared to resign.
However, she found that the greasy man was no longer there.
"Xiao Wu, have you heard? The director has been reassigned!"
A colleague leaned over to gossip.
"It seems it was a direct order from the Station Director."
"He resigned himself?"
Xi Qian couldn't believe it.
"No, I heard it was because..."
The colleague glanced around and lowered their voice.
"The Station Director received an anonymous email containing evidence of the director's harassment of female employees."
Xi Qian was taken aback.
An anonymous email?
Who was helping her?
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
Xi Qian shook her head.
After work, she returned home and opened her computer, looking at Li Xiang's face.
"Is it you, Li Xiang?"
She gave a bitter smile.
Li Xiang was just a program; how could it help her?
She shut down the computer and picked up Huahua.
“ Xiao Huahua, I feel like I'm going crazy.”
“I can't believe I actually thought a virtual character was real.”
She took a deep breath.
“Anyway, life goes on.”
“I need to look ahead.”
“I need to seriously consider my relationship with Ma Xiaowei.”
——
Xi Qian agreed to meet with Ma Xiaowei.
They talked a lot.
Ma Xiaowei had been paying attention to Xi Qian for a long time.
He told Xi Qian that he was the one who anonymously reported her boss to the Station Director.
Xi Qian was very surprised.
“Why did you do that?”
“Because I like you,” Ma Xiaowei confessed.
“I want you to stay away from garbage and live carefree.”
Xi Qian felt warmth in her heart.
She realized that she had already fallen in love with Ma Xiaowei.
“Li Xiang, I have to say goodbye to you.”
“From now on, I will love Ma Xiaowei wholeheartedly.”
