A popular female live streamer with a constant stream of wealthy patrons.

In Fu Huazhen's eyes, this was already the biggest concession.

He never imagined his son would be so "rebellious." Even during his adolescence, his son had never caused him any trouble. But now, all because of Xu Qinghuan, the Fu family was completely shocked!

Fu Yanshi didn't reply to his father, but simply said that he had to board the plane and hung up.

On the way back, he didn't say a word, his dark eyes always looking out the window, as if the air around him had frozen, and no one knew what he was thinking.

……

As soon as the company's announcement was released, the HR department contacted Xu Qinghuan directly.

"Ms. Xu, please come in within three days to complete your resignation procedures."

"You fired me because after the investigation, you determined that I betrayed the company, right?" Xu Qinghuan's tone was firm and resolute, not at all like someone who had done something wrong and was being fired. On the contrary, the HR department seemed somewhat unsure of themselves after being questioned by her.

"This is a decision made by the higher-ups."

She laughed, "Even if you're the chairman, you should have a definite reason for firing an employee. I signed a labor contract with Shengshi, so you can't just fire me like that."

"...Didn't Miss Xu see the announcement on the official website?"

"Looked."

Xu Qinghuan confirmed this with the HR department because she had seen it.

She needs to obtain concrete evidence.

If Fu can send me packing and home based on a "result" that wasn't even investigated, then I can go to court and demand justice!

"Since you've seen it, don't you know what you've done? The company fired you but didn't sue you for compensation; that's already very lenient and merciful." The HR department's words sounded like they were advising them, but they were actually full of sarcasm.

Xu Qinghuan knew that the entire Fu Group was probably talking about her in secret! Even those who didn't say it directly were probably thinking it to themselves.

"I don't have time to argue with you about this. I just want to know, is the reason for firing me because the investigation concluded that I betrayed the company?"

The HR department also lost their temper, "Yes! You've caused the Fu family so much trouble—"

Xu Qinghuan hung up the phone before the call was even finished, then saved the recording from her recorder and put it away.

Previously, she only wanted to clear her name and reveal the truth about Xia Wanyu framing her. She never went after the company, neither out of courtesy nor reason. But now, Xu Qinghuan will no longer believe anyone.

With everything prepared, Xu Qinghuan got up to leave Fu Jiajia's house. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Fu Yanshi... the president of the Fu Group, who should have been in Hong Kong discussing business, appeared at the door looking travel-worn.

Their eyes met; one was indifferent, the other weary.

"Mr. Fu."

With that one word, Xu Qinghuan had already severed ties between the two of them, creating an immeasurable distance.

Fu Yanshi's tall figure swayed slightly, his dark eyes filled with an overwhelming weariness.

He stood at the corner of the stairs, half of his body shrouded in darkness, his gaze never leaving the room.

"Xu Qinghuan, I didn't make the announcement."

"I know."

She believed Fu Yanshi wouldn't be so shallow as to put on two faces in public and in private.

But she also knew that there was more than one level between her and Fu Yanshi.

"I've come to take you home." The next sentence, Fu Yanshi didn't continue talking about company matters, but instead extended his hand to her.

Xu Qinghuan did not respond; her voice was cold and detached.

"I'm afraid I can no longer go with you."

Fu Yanshi's eyes sharpened. "What do you mean?"

"Let's end the contract, Mr. Fu. I will prove Xia Wanyu framed me in my own way."

The implication is: I don't need to trouble you.
