“Oh, there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you. In exchange, 1 promise not to pursue Cheng Xiao’ou’s responsibility,” Shen Wan said casually, but Liu Yi’s expression changed dramatically.

“According to Article 219 of the Chinese Criminal Law, infringing on trade secrets is punishable by imprisonment for up to three years or detention, along with a fine or standalone fine; if it results in particularly serious consequences, it’s punishable by imprisonment for more than three years but less than seven years. It may not be too severe, but it’s definitely not light. May I ask, Miss Liu, are you prepared for jail time?”

Liu Yi’s figure swayed slightly, and her lips quivered. “You…”

“Scared?” Shen Wan raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with delight, like a black panther running through the jungle, chasing prey not for sustenance but to savor their struggle on the brink of despair.

Cold, dangerous, and aloof.

Finally—

The tightly stretched string in Liu Yi’s mind snapped with a snap.

“What do you want?!” Desperation, panic, and a hint of crying could hardly be concealed in her shout.

No… she couldn’t go to jail… she was only 26 years old, with plenty of good times ahead and countless opportunities!

“President Shen, please, spare me. I’ll resign right now, leave the company immediately, and I’m willing to do anything as long as you drop the lawsuit.” “Is that so?” Shen Wan chuckled. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝓫𝒏𝙤𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

Liu Yi felt a glimmer of hope and her eyes lit up. “Yes! I’m willing to do anything!”

“You should have been this sensible from the beginning. I wouldn’t have had to spell it out so explicitly, digging up all the dirty and smelly things and laying them out in the sun, which isn’t very aesthetically pleasing.”

Choi Yun, who was listening on the side, twitched her mouth.

In terms of being harsh, Shen Wan was second to none, and no one dared to claim the top spot.

“Well, I’m a soft-hearted person, easy to talk to. Although you’re unscrupulous, 1 can’t be unjust. Pack your things and leave as soon as possible, and the previous matters will be forgotten.”

Liu Yi was stunned. Could it be this easy… she was being let off?

Choi Yun also shared the same confusion, picking up and putting down the phone repeatedly. It didn’t make sense! If it was just to get Liu Yi to leave the company, they could simply issue a personnel order; there was no need for all this intimidation and threats.

Unless Shen Wan had other plans…

With teary eyes, Liu Yi left the office. Then, in full view of everyone, she bowed deeply to the person inside through the door, “Thank you.”

Her voice was choked with emotion, but it was sincere, and her eyes revealed a solemnity.

“Back again?”

“What’s going on?”

“Playing games? With a team…”

“Sister Yi, are you okay?” A female colleague who had a good relationship with her approached and inquired.

Liu Yi absentmindedly waved her hand, “I’ve resigned.”

“All? Is it… voluntary? Maybe we can all go in and plead for you, and you might be able to stay…”

“No need!”

“Sister Yi…”

“I resigned voluntarily.”

Her colleagues moved their lips but ultimately had nothing to say. After all, she had done it willingly, so why should they interfere?

Seven latecomers, five resigned, one transferred, and only one left without any issues. This outcome seemed somewhat cruel and even unfair.

But the person involved had accepted it without any objections, so others had no grounds to complain.

Originally, everyone was watching this “late arrival” case out of curiosity, but as things progressed to this point, it had turned into a Rashomon, filled with mystery at every turn.

This time it was someone else, but what about next time?

Could it be their turn?

The crowd gradually fell silent, and in the end, there was complete silence.

Miao Miao, with a twinkle in her eye, smiled and shouted, “The matter has been resolved. Those of you who should disperse, don’t linger around. Take this as a lesson, work hard, and believe that there will be great rewards..”
