Chapter 692: Really Insincere (1)_1
"Boss, I really didn’t do anything. I just introduced her to the job. After she started working at Broadway, I didn’t intervene anymore. I know the rules of the Dragon Society, and I wouldn’t dare challenge them. Besides, when An Ting joined Broadway, although it was through my introduction, she went through the assessment process and passed on her own merit," Qiu Jian hastily explained, well aware that if he didn’t clarify things today, he’d be facing the punishment of the Dragon Society. And given that he had been an enforcer and a bystander to the punishment before, he certainly didn’t want to experience it firsthand.
"Are you sure everything you’re saying is true and that you’re not hiding anything? You know what kind of punishment awaits if you are lying," Xia Yujie warned.
"Boss, I know the rules of the Dragon Society. I haven’t lied, and everything I’ve said is true. Plus, I only agreed to help her apply because she pestered me to the point of no return. But that was it; I didn’t get involved in anything after that." Qiu Jian now deeply regretted giving in to the woman’s tearful plea.
"Manager Song, is what Qiu Jian is saying true?" Xia Yujie turned his gaze to Manager Song.
Manager Song wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, it’s all true. Although he didn’t show up later, he did personally come to register An Ting, and given that he occasionally picked her up from work, plus the way An Ting talked about her relationship with Qiu Jian in front of everyone, it became known to everyone at Broadway." Manager Song’s implication was clear to all present.
Upon hearing Manager Song’s words, Qiu Jian hurriedly attempted to explain, fearing that if he was even a moment too slow, his boss would convict him, and he’d find nowhere to cry. Just as Qiu Jian was about to speak up, he was stopped by a gesture from Xia Yujie. "Enough, don’t say more. I know what I need to about this matter," said Xia Yujie, pausing before adding, "Tomorrow, Qiu Jian, come find me at headquarters with Manager Song."
Though Qiu Jian and Manager Song didn’t seem to have made any major mistakes, in the eyes of Xia Yujie, they had both made several minor ones. Punishment was still warranted.
After hearing what Xia Yujie said, Qiu Jian and Manager Song inwardly wailed; it seemed they couldn’t escape punishment this time.
"It’s quite lively here today." Just as Xia Yujie finished dealing with Qiu Jian and Manager Song and was about to seek Situ Xin’s guidance, the door was pushed open, and a voice familiar to Situ Xin rang out.
Situ Xin looked up at the door to see the man who had just spoken to her on the phone, leading her to believe he was still in a meeting at the Xiao Family home, now standing outside the door, looking at her with eyes full of tenderness.
