Despite the girl's constant explanations, no one believed her. There was only endless ridicule and contempt.
The girl was eventually turned over to the police station.
There was no direct evidence. The only one who could prove that the girl stole the necklace was a girl, because that girl took it from her bag. That girl was also Xiao Ling's good friend.
The police asked the girl to call her family. After the girl dialed the number, a male student rushed over.
After the boy said something to the girl, he began to negotiate with the police.
The girl's eyes lit up when she looked at the boy. Out of so many people, he was the only one who chose to believe in her and firmly stood by her side.
Because there was no direct evidence, the hotel staff could prove that the girl had been carrying plates back and forth between the hall and the kitchen during the period of the necklace's loss. Plus, the girl was not yet an adult.
Outside the police station, the girl stood in the sunlight, looking at the boy's shining face, and her eyes lit up.
"Thank you."
"No need to thank me." The boy smiled and waved.
"No, no, no, thank you. Thank you for believing me. In a few days, I'll get my salary. I'll treat you to a meal!"
"How much is your salary? Didn't you say you were going to keep it for your tuition?" The boy poked the girl's forehead with his finger and smiled.
The girl blushed, "I still have the money to treat you to a meal. I must thank you properly."
"You really want to thank me?" The corner of the boy's mouth hooked up into an unfathomable smile. "Then you can just be my girlfriend."
The girl widened her eyes in shock, the blush on her face instantly spreading to her ears before she helplessly lowered her head.
"Will Silence agree or not?" the boy asked.
After pondering for a long time, the lady nods her head.
"Brother An …" Bai Nianxi lay on the bed, murmuring unconsciously.
Kang Mobei, who was standing beside the bed, was stunned. Then, he looked at Bai Nianxi with a serious expression.
Bai Nianxi frowned as if she was in pain. Cold sweat covered her forehead. Kang Mobei bent down and called out softly, "Bai Nianxi, wake up."
As the cold voice entered her ears, Bai Nianxi woke up. After the dream just now, her mind was a mess. She looked clearly at the face in front of her, "Kang Mobei?"
Kang Mobei's pupils contracted. This woman was getting bolder and bolder.
Bai Nianxi's head felt dizzy for a while before she finally regained her senses. When she regained her senses, Kang Mobei had already passed her a cup of hot water. His thick palm was stretched out in front of her, and two green pills were lying on his white palm.
"Take your medicine."
Bai Nianxi did not understand. She raised her head and smelled Kang Mobei again. "You have a fever."
No wonder she said why her head was so heavy and she had no strength left in her body.
After taking the water and taking the medicine, Bai Nianxi finally noticed Kang Mobei, who was still dripping with water.
Surprised, he asked, "Where did you go?"
Kang Mobei turned around and put down his glass, "Buy some medicine."
His tone was as calm as if he was talking about something extremely ordinary.
Bai Nianxi felt a little guilty. It was the middle of the night and it was raining outside. He was drenched just to buy medicine for her …
"You can go tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Kang Mobei's eyelids twitched, "Do you think your brain can hold on until tomorrow?"
Hm? What do you mean?
For the first time, Kang Mobei was in the mood to explain, "Originally, I wasn't good with brains, but when the time comes, I'll burn it all out …" Saying that, he shot an indifferent glance at Bai Nianxi.
"Although I don't mind you being a little stupid, but if you're too stupid, then I don't think so."
In reality, when he just found out about her fever, he had already rushed out. Bai Nianxi had left her umbrella somewhere and he didn't even have time to take it.
He remembered that there seemed to be a self-service pharmacy that opened 24 hours a day opposite the residential area. Rather than waiting for Secretary Hsing to bring the medicine over, it was better for him to just buy it.
As soon as she said that, the fire that had been burning in Bai Nianxi's heart was extinguished.
"Kang Mobei."
"Yes."
"You deserve to be single."
Kang Mobei narrowed his eyes. Bai Nianxi had already tucked her head into the blanket.
Without saying anything else, he turned around and walked out of the room to the living room to change his clothes. In his heart, he thought about the name Bai Nianxi had mentioned before: Brother An.
CHAPTER 88 - PROJECT INCIDENT
Perhaps because she had taken the medicine, Bai Nianxi's fever lasted until the latter half of the night. When she woke up in the morning, she was already full of energy, just that her nose was a little stuffy and not very sensitive.
Kang Mobei gave her a leave of absence. The happiest one was none other than Luoluo.
"Xi, Xi, can you watch TV with me?"
Xi had been having a fever for the past two days, so Luoluo had already thought of a way to make her happy. The moment she went downstairs, she immediately pulled her to go watch TV.
Before Bai Nianxi could even sit properly, Luoluo had already turned on the TV in the living room and switched it on to the shopping channel.
Bai Nianxi thought it was strange. Since when did Luoluo start watching the shopping channel? Didn't he always watch the Science Channel?
A new product was being sold live on TV, followed by a lottery draw. The prize was very generous, and all one needed to do was send a text message.
"Xi, aren't you going to send the message?" Luoluo raised her head, her bright eyes twinkling. "We can draw that. Why don't you try it?"
Bai Nianxi firmly shook her head. Even after she sent numerous text messages, she still hadn't been chosen once. She had already decided to give up on this bad habit of loving to participate in the lottery.
Luoluo still refused to give up and advised, "Just try it out. I think today's prize is very good. What if you get drawn and get it?"
Finally, under Luoluo's repeated urging, Bai Nianxi took out her cell phone and sent a text message.
Luoluo secretly let out a sigh of relief in her heart. She sat beside Bai Nianxi while shaking her head. Her eyes were nonchalantly staring at the TV screen as she counted the time of the opening of the final award.
Finally, the time had come.
Luoluo quickly stood up and ran upstairs. Bai Nianxi shouted from downstairs, "Luoluo, where are you going?"
"To the toilet."
Aren't there toilets downstairs too?
Bai Nianxi ignored him and stared listlessly at the TV screen. The competition was about to start, but she did not have any expectations.
A rich amount of historical experience had proven that it was absolutely impossible for her to win a prize …
"..."
Bai Nianxi looked at the phone number on the TV screen and rubbed her eyes.
He read it again and rubbed his eyes.
This was her number, right?
After checking again and again, Bai Nianxi was finally sure that the winning number was hers!
She actually, really won the lottery! And it was even the first prize! It was the first prize!
Bai Nianxi happily jumped up from the sofa. The previously dull atmosphere had been completely swept away. At this moment, she really wanted to dance to the music on the television. It was as if her side was filled with flowers and applause!
Unable to wait to share the joy of winning the prize with Luoluo, he shouted excitedly, "Luoluo — — Luoluo — —"
When Luoluo, who was upstairs, heard the sound, she turned off her laptop and was about to run out of the
room with a proud smile on her chubby face.
Suddenly, a towering figure appeared in front of his weak body, blocking his path to Bai Nianxi's path of happiness.
Kang Mobei's face was gloomy and his aura was terrifying. He was like the terrifying villain in a movie that made people tremble in fear.
He stretched out his hand and said, "Hand it over."
Luoluo had a look of confusion on her face.
"Hand it over." Kang Mobei's aura became even colder.
Luoluo snorted. "No."
Kang Mobei cast a sidelong glance at him and said, "It was confiscated."
Luoluo glared back at him. "Damn it!" You can just say that you want to rob us! "
"Then rob." Kang Mobei followed what Luoluo said.
Fat Luoluo clenched her fists. This was so infuriating, so infuriating! It had taken him several days to break the firewall of the television station without any reaction and then insert the program into the lottery program!
Scoundrel! Scoundrel!
Luoluo was so angry that she didn't want to talk to Kang Mobei anymore for a month.
After a day of rest, Bai Nianxi's cold had improved a lot. It seemed that she had been having a good meal and was in good health at Kang Mobei's place.
After recovering, Bai Nianxi went to work at the company. The moment he entered the office, Secretary Hsing, who was behind him, came along with a pile of documents. Kang Mobei didn't come yesterday and had accumulated a lot of things.
Secretary Hsing's face was filled with dark circles. He grudgingly glanced at Bai Nianxi. Miss Bai, you should have some snacks. Take good care of yourself, okay?
In your lifetime, the CEO is going to take a leave of absence, the CEO is going to take a day off, he'll have to work an extra five hours tonight! Yesterday, he forcefully endured until 4 in the morning before going to sleep!
Kang Mobei walked in front of the desk and turned on the computer. Secretary Hsing stood aside and began to code the documents he brought in little by little, reporting about what happened yesterday.
"Oh, right. Director Kang, there's one more thing." Secretary Hsing lowered his head.
"Speak."
"Do you remember that ST project?"
"Yes." Kang Mobei nodded, rolled up his sleeves, took the documents and started flipping through them.
"There's a problem with that project. There might be a bit of a loss." Secretary Hsing wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
Bai Nianxi, who was standing beside him, also raised her head. She was also very curious about the little bit of damage they had suffered.
Kang Mobei didn't say anything as if he was silently allowing Secretary Hsing to continue. Secretary Hsing swallowed his saliva and gathered up his courage. "The loss would be around 200 million."
Bai Nianxi turned her head in disbelief.
"The directors of the company had a small argument over this matter. They said that they would convene the board of directors this morning, and now …" Secretary Hsing looked down at his watch, "Everyone has been waiting for you for ten minutes."
Kang Mobei just glanced at Secretary Hsing and then lowered his head to look at the document calmly. His tone was neither clear nor cold, "Then let's wait for another ten minutes."
The board meeting was suddenly decided by the directors after they received the news about the ST project, Kang Mobei did not know beforehand.
As for him, he had never liked others helping him make decisions for him.
Secretary Hsing nodded and left. With the CEO's personality, it wasn't strange for her to make such a decision. What could the directors do? You have to wait obediently, don't you?
After sorting out the documents, Kang Mobei walked into the meeting room expressionlessly at the last second of ten minutes.
Bai Nianxi, who was following behind him, lowered her head slightly. As soon as she entered the meeting room, she could feel the tense atmosphere in the room.
Each of the board members had a serious expression. It seemed that they had a lot of questions that they wanted to ask Kang Mobei about. However, they could only pretend to be respectful towards Kang Mobei.
After Kang Mobei walked in, he sat down on the main seat and gave Secretary Hsing a signal with his eyes. Secretary Hsing then walked to the side and turned on the projector, explaining to the screen.
Not to mention the directors, even Bai Nianxi was only thinking about the loss of 200 million and wasn't in the mood to listen.
Finally, Secretary Hsing said, "Director Kang, about the ST project's loss?"
Most of the directors were in their forties or fifties. Although Kang Mobei was the youngest in the center, he had the most domineering aura.
Kang Mobei cast a sidelong glance at Secretary Hsing, "Who approved the ST project?"
Secretary Hsing handed over a document.
Kang Mobei opened it. Bai Nianxi looked at the contents of the document and saw a few eye-catching words: Bai Nianxi.
CHAPTER 89 - A WOMAN WHO HAD OFFENDED HIM ON THE TIP OF HIS HEART
Suddenly, she remembered that Kang Mobei was drunk and she signed it for him.
Since Secretary Hsing said it was an emergency, he had no choice but to sign.
However, she had looked through it seriously and didn't find anything wrong with it, so why did she suffer such a huge loss?
And it was a two hundred million hole!
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he glanced at Secretary Hsing. Secretary Hsing did not dare to raise his head.
Kang Mobei closed the document expressionlessly and placed it on the table. "What do you want to say, directors?"
Kang Mobei had always been a wise man. From the moment he took office until now, he had never made any inappropriate decisions. Thus, they were very confident in handing the corporation over to Kang Mobei to manage.
Someone asked: "Director Kang, what is the project?"
"I signed it."
The words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, and the directors below began to whisper to each other.
Bai Nianxi lowered her head. Was Kang Mobei taking the blame for her?
"What, do you all doubt my ability?"
Naturally, no director dared to answer Kang Mobei's question.
Someone stood forward, "Director Kang, actually, we have all seen that document just now. The signature on it is clearly not your name, but it was approved by someone else."
"That's right." Kang Mobei remained calm and collected, "It was signed by my assistant at my behest."
Kang Mobei's words put the blame on himself again.
He looked around at the crowd, his words exuding an invisible sense of authority and oppression, "Do you think that without my guidance, an assistant could sign such a huge project?"
There were already people who were indignant, but they could only carefully suppress their discontent.
"However, I find it strange that a mere two hundred million loss could make all the directors lose their patience." Kang Mobei's voice was deep and seemed unfathomable.
Indeed, the directors' behavior this time was a bit too hasty. The main reason was not because of the loss of 200 million, but because they knew that this project was signed by Kang Mobei's assistant!
The board of directors this time would be more accurate to call it a crusade against Bai Nianxi, the assistant president.
Kang Mobei tapped on the conference table with his slender fingers. The sound was very clear and scary in the silent meeting room.
Finally, someone spoke out the words in his heart.
It was just a criticism of Bai Nianxi.
It was also something that Kang Mobei didn't like to hear.
If there was one, then there was two. Since someone was driving the river, the others naturally followed suit, agreeing with Bai Nianxi's judgement.
Bai Nianxi lowered her head guiltily. She felt that what these directors said made sense.
"No one disagrees?" Kang Mobei spoke in a seem
ingly casual manner. Only Bai Nianxi and Secretary Hsing, who were standing beside him, could feel that the atmosphere around the CEO had completely frozen down.
Silence.
"Alright then." The corner of Kang Mobei's mouth held a trace of an unfathomable smile as he glanced at Secretary Hsing.
Secretary Hsing came over, while Kang Mobei whispered a few words into Secretary Hsing's ear.
Secretary Hsing's expression changed drastically, but he still accepted the order and walked out of the meeting room. Not long later, he walked in with a pile of documents and gave a copy to the directors.
The directors who had received the documents were all astonished. The share purchase contract?!
A total of 12 directors, a total of 12 directors. Kang Mobei was directly "expelling" all the directors?
Kang Mobei had a smile on his face, "Everyone, you all only have 38% of the shares added up together. But now you all want to question my unquestionable decision. This makes me very unhappy."
"Today, I, Kang Mobei, in my own name, will buy back your shares at 1.5 times the market price. Since no one disagrees, I'll take it that everyone agrees."
He coldly swept everyone with his gaze, "Sign it."
Kang Mobei's words made all the other directors feel embarrassed. Even if they didn't want to sign, they had no way out.
In addition, they had held high positions for many years and had high egos. In a fit of anger, they all signed agreements, some of them flicked their sleeves and left, while others shook their heads sadly.
Bai Nianxi felt like something was stuck in her throat. Kang Mobei was being too willful.
Gradually, only Kang Mobei and Bai Nianxi were left in the huge meeting room, and Secretary Hsing also left.
Bai Nianxi recovered from her shock and lowered her head apologetically, "Mr. Kang, I'm sorry about the project, but I was not thorough enough and signed too hastily. I overestimated myself …"
"None of your business." Kang Mobei interrupted Bai Nianxi's self-examination.
"As for the project, even if it isn't you, I will continue to approve it as per usual. There is no difference whether you sign it or me."
