Su Qinglan felt that she had been very unlucky in whatever she did recently.

She sat in the car with her eyes still glued to the computer.

"Vice President Su, there are relevant documents for this project. The other party suddenly wants to withdraw funds," the assistant said.

"What time is the appointed time?" Su Qinglan kept flipping through the pages.

"9:30," the assistant replied.

Su Qinglan glanced at the time. It was already 9:10.

"Drive faster," She instructed the driver.

Just as she was thinking about what she should say after meeting the partner for a while, she suddenly felt a jolt.

She fell to the side uncontrollably, but fortunately, she was pulled back by the safety belt.

"What happened?" She steadied herself and looked outside.

The front passenger seat on the right was hit by someone, and a red car blocked the way.

Before she could react, a woman with flamboyant and arrogant makeup came out of the car, dressed in a red skirt.

"Come out." She directly kicked the car door.

Su Qinglan looked into the driver's eyes and nodded gently. "Hurry up and deal with it."

"Yes." The driver quickly went down.

Outside the car, a loud argument soon broke out, and the woman was unforgiving.

"I say, do you have eyes? I was the one who came first," the woman said arrogantly.

The driver had a very good temper. He said gently, "Miss, there should be surveillance videos here. Everything that happened just now should have been captured. It is clear whose fault it is."

"I don't care. You were the one who hit me, so you can't leave. Compensate me," the woman said stubbornly.

The driver continued to argue with her.

Su Qinglan, who was listening in the car, felt that this matter could not be solved for a while.

She thought about it, packed up her things, and got out of the car with her assistant.

"Alas, I was wondering what was going on. There was another one inside," the woman shouted.

Su Qinglan's face did not look good. She said to the driver, "Let the traffic police come over. I'll go first."

"Alright," the driver nodded in agreement.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Shouldn't we sit down and talk about the compensation?" The woman stopped Su Qinglan.

"Sorry, I'm very busy," Su Qinglan said bluntly.

"I am also very busy," the woman touched her own hair and said proudly.

Su Qinglan looked at the time again. It was already 9:20. There were only ten minutes left.

She looked at her assistant and walked in another direction.

The woman wanted to follow her but was stopped by her assistant.

"Miss, I am fully responsible for this matter. If there is anything, you can communicate with me."

"Who do you think you are?" The woman was arrogant.

Su Qinglan quickly stopped a taxi and left.

She kept urging the driver to drive faster.

The car shuttled through the crowd and finally arrived at the appointed place at 9:30.

Su Qinglan came to the private room, panting, and saw the partner.

"Vice President Su is so busy. You just happened to be here at the appointed time."

"I'm sorry. Something happened on the way and I was delayed," Su Qinglan apologized.

She quickly took out the documents she had prepared and said, "This is the latest contract prepared by our company. If you are willing..."

"Alright." The man did not give Su Qinglan any time to explain.

"There's no need to talk anymore. Let's end the collaboration. I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first."

"Mr. Li, our company is very sincere," Su Qinglan quickly followed.

"Vice President Su, please stop."

Su Qinglan looked at the closed door and weakly dropped her hands.

Back at the company, someone came to report that there was a problem with the project.

She could not help but get angry and threw the document.

She scolded the employee in front of her, "What are you doing? How can you make a mistake like this?"

The employee lowered his head, not daring to say more.

Su Qinglan's expression was very bad. She waved her hand to let everyone go back and think of a way to deal with it.

At the staff meeting, Su Qinglan told them all the problems that had happened in the company during this period and said firmly, "For all the project managers, no mistake is allowed again, or your salary will be directly reduced."

"Ah?"

"Vice President Su, are you trying to squeeze your employees?" Su Qinglan heard a voice full of ridicule.

"Manager Gao, what do you mean?" Su Qinglan stared at Gao Jian with a cold expression.

"Vice President Su, if you don't have the ability, just admit it directly. Why did you implicate the employees? They are very innocent," Gao Jian earnestly said, instantly winning a burst of praise from the employees.

The others didn't dare to say anything else, but they obviously agreed with Gao Jian.

"Manager Gao, are you unhappy with my decision?" Su Qinglan stared at him.

Gao Jian did not care at all and immediately nodded.

"Yes, Vice President Su. Why haven't there been so many problems in the company when President Gu was in? Why are there endless troubles after you are in charge?"

These words struck straight into Su Qinglan's heart.

She had once doubted herself as to why she had always been in trouble ever since she took over the company.

"I think you should consider your own problem, Vice President Su," Gao Jian said with a smile.

"Manager Gao, what do you mean? You don't agree with the board of directors' decision?" She asked with a terrible expression.

Gao Jian had been targeting her from the beginning, which made her unhappy.

"As an employee of the company, I naturally want the company to develop better. But I think we need a good leader. I feel that you do not live up to your reputation." Gao Jian provoked.

Su Qinglan finally understood his purpose, and she was not in a hurry.

She tapped the table with a pen and looked around.

All the employees lowered their heads in silence, obviously unwilling to be implicated.

"Manager Gao, no matter how dissatisfied you are with me, I am in charge of the company now. If you have any questions, you can ask the board of directors," Su Qinglan announced loudly.

While warning Gao Jian, she also warned everyone.

After the meeting, Su Qinglan stormed back to her office.

Just as she was about to get angry, the assistant suddenly sneaked in.

"Vice President Su," the assistant said in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Su Qinglan frowned.

"I have something to tell you." The assistant came to her with her phone in hand.

Su Qinglan saw the photo on her phone at first glance. A man and a woman were intimately cuddling together, but they did not look like a match at all.

At first glance, one would even feel that this was a story between a beautiful woman and a rich man.

The assistant gossiped, "You must have never thought that the woman was Manager Gao's mistress."

Su Qinglan nodded and said thoughtfully, "Indeed."

The assistant began to take credit. "Hah hah, I was careful. I met that woman at the police station, and that woman's phone suddenly rang. I saw that the number looked familiar, so I checked it. I didn't expect..."

Su Qinglan praised her, "Well done. I'll give you a bonus this month."

"Thank you, Vice President Su. This is what I should do." The assistant left happily.

Su Qinglan began to think about the whole thing.

The new project suddenly ended, and the partners left without even giving her a chance to explain.

She happened to meet a car accident on the way, but the owner of the car was Gao Jian's mistress, so she had to suspect that it was designed by someone.

She called An Nian to her office.

An Nian pushed open the door and came in, but she was shocked.

"An Nian, what are you doing?" Su Qinglan pointed at his soaked clothes and asked in shock. There was an obvious red lip mark on his face.

An Nian's face was calm, but his ears were red.

"I'm fine," he answered.

Su Qinglan raised the mirror and signaled him to look at his face.

An Nian's face suddenly flushed red. He wiped his face helplessly, only to make his entire face covered in lipstick.

Su Qinglan took a makeup remover from her bag and handed it over. She teased, "The quality of the lipstick is quite good, but this color looks very familiar. Whose is it?"

An Nian was not willing to answer this question at all. He quickly adjusted his working condition and asked, "What's the matter?"

It was very difficult to see An Nian like this. Su Qinglan admired him for a while and told him what happened today.

"I think Gao Jian did something. Help me investigate him."

"Alright." An Nian agreed.

Without waiting for Su Qinglan to ask, An Nian ran away.

Su Qinglan looked at his flustered footsteps and could not help but smile.

Soon, it was time to get off work, and Su Qinglan was still working.

Ji Qingyue unceremoniously pulled her out of the office.

She had no choice but to put the unfinished work into her bag and then heard Ji Qingyue's voice, "You're still bringing your work home?"

"If you don't want me to go with you, I can go back after I finish working here," Su Qinglan said calmly.

"I'm doing this for your good. Just now, your son called me and asked me to take you to pick him up from school. Think about it, how long has it been since you last accompanied your son?"

Su Qinglan also felt sorry for Gu Yize. She was busy with work every day and had no time to accompany him.

"It was my fault," she admitted honestly.

"It's good that you know your mistake. Today, the two of us will pick him up from school and then go out for a good meal." Ji Qingyue had already planned it.

Su Qinglan had no reason to refuse and followed her to the parking lot.

"Wait for me here. I will drive my car." Ji Qingyue left her alone at the entrance and walked in.

Su Qinglan stood silently in the corner and vaguely heard someone talking.

She looked around and saw three people she was very familiar with not far away.

"Manager Gao, let's find a place to have a drink," Ji Lin said with a smile.

Li Da also agreed, "Yes, we have worked together for such a long time, but we have never drunk together before."

"Alright, I know a place that is especially suitable for discussing matters. Let's go." Gao Jian immediately agreed.

The three of them agreed and drove out of the parking lot.

Because Su Qinglan had been standing quietly in the dark, no one noticed her.

Su Qinglan knew that the three of them had no contact before, so why were they suddenly drinking together?
