Chapter 567: Make the old hag pay
"She has a point. No matter how you look at it, this is a set up. I don’t know of anyone who would plan to do something secretly but end up doing it on the streets in broad daylight, while knowing that surveillance cameras are all over.
On the other hand, if someone wants to set someone else up, they will focus on creating as much irrefutable evidence as possible and will often forget how unreasonable it turns out to be." Lin Jian remarked, earning gazes of ridicule.
"So what if she was set up? She tarnished our company’s reputation and must go." Mr. Lu insisted.
Lanni’s eyebrows knitted. Had this man been bribed?
"If we are taking reputation so seriously, then I have something to talk about." She pulled up an old article from her phone, which she had seen weeks ago and it just happened to be convenient. "You were once entangled in a scandal that involved a married woman, Mr. Lu. This is a blow to the reputation of Lin Media Group, don’t you think?" She hinted meaningfully.
"Don’t you pull that crap on me!" He roared.
When he realized that everyone else was giving him glances that called him out for hypocrisy, he conceded. "Fine. She can stay. But only because she is a hard worker."
"Thank you." Lanni took a slight bow and left the conference room. She didn’t have too much work lately. It was probably because Lin Jian made her subordinates filter out the unimportant documents before sending only the ones that mattered to her, to make her work easier.
She would reward them later, she thought as she gathered the remaining work to take home with her.
The chauffeur opened the back passenger door as soon as he saw her leaving the building and rushed to help her carry the files even though she didn’t think they were heavy.
"Madam, are we going home?" He asked politely when she got in.
