This Witch Transmigrated into the Romantic Novel's Supporting Role-Chapter 211: The Spy
Chapter 211
The person behind spoke very softly. Chu Yang and Chi Yan faintly heard something about a plan and design drawings.
About five minutes later, the person finally hung up the phone and left.
Chi Yan was no longer sleepy. He stood up, and Chu Yang sat up, helping him with his clothes. "You go ahead and take care of business." It was obviously some kind of spy. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Alright, meet at the usual place after work."
"Mm-hmm."
Chu Yang cautiously returned to the office. Everyone was sleeping face down, and the lights were off. She also lay her head on the desk, trying to get some rest while she could.
Chi Yan quickly returned to his office and called his assistant over. "Check the security footage and see who went to the stairwell on the 21st floor to make a phone call around 1 AM. Then discreetly investigate that person who made the call. Don't tell anyone about this."
"Yes, sir."
Sleeping face down was uncomfortable. When Chu Yang woke up, her back and waist were aching. She noticed that others seemed to have nap pillows and such. She decided to bring one tomorrow.
After work ended on time in the afternoon, Chu Yang once again went to the street corner and got into Chi Yan's car.
"How did it go? Did you find out about the person from noon?"
Chi Yan nodded. "Yes. Someone from the R&D department. Don't worry, it will be dealt with soon."
"That's good. There weren't any losses, were there?"
"Not at the moment. Fortunately, I went to find you at noon. You're really my lucky star." If Chu Yang hadn't come to intern at Chi Corporation, he wouldn't have gone to find her, and then he wouldn't have discovered the spy.
"If you need any help, just let me know. Considering you're my boyfriend, I'll give you an 11% discount," Chu Yang said with a sly smile.
If he wasn't driving, Chi Yan would have reached over to pinch her cheek. Instead, he gave a mischievous grin. "But I don't have any money. Can I earn that 11% discount by serving you extra well tonight?"
Chu Yang glared at him and pinched his waist. "Pfft! You wish!"
The two of them returned home, laughing and joking. They both thought that commuting together like this every day would be quite nice.
The next day, as soon as Chi Yan arrived at the company, his assistant Qi Jie handed him all the investigation results. "Besides Xu XX from the R&D department, I also found out that Zhou X from HR knows Xu XX. Xu XX was able to enter the company because of Zhou X's manipulation..."
Chi Yan flipped through the investigation report. "Alright, I understand."
Before the end of the workday, everyone in the company received an announcement stating that Xu XX from the R&D department had been discovered to be a spy, and Zhou X from HR had helped Xu XX enter the company. As a result, Zhou X was fired, while Xu XX was not only fired but would also be sued. The announcement concluded by saying that because the discovery was made in time, the company's losses were minimal.
Instantly, everyone began whispering among themselves.
"Who exactly is Xu XX? From R&D? How bold!"
"They managed to get a job at Chi Corporation and still acted as a spy?"
"I want to know how they were discovered."
"I hope our company's information wasn't taken by the spy to our competitors."
"The losses were minimal, so it should be fine."
Apart from those two individuals, all the managers and supervisors from the R&D and HR departments had to undergo reviews, and their quarterly bonuses might be reduced by half or even eliminated entirely.
In Chu Yang's office, everyone was also discussing the matter.
"How daring, to be a spy! This is the first time I've encountered something like this."
"Me too. From R&D, no less. The salary isn't low there, why would they do this?"
"Maybe the spy got more money. But now they've offended Chi Corporation, their career is basically over."
"I heard that all the managers went to the top floor for a meeting this morning. It was a big deal, probably about this incident. The company will likely take some action soon. We might get busy."
After work, Chu Yang asked Chi Yan, "I heard there will be some big moves coming up?"
Chi Yan nodded. "Don't worry, it won't affect you much. Just focus on your work as usual."
"Okay."
Recently, Chu Yang had been commuting with Chi Yan, although they always got in and out of the car at the street corner. Still, they were bound to be seen by someone eventually.
One day after work, Chu Yang went to the usual corner to get into Chi Yan's car as always. She didn't know that two of her female colleagues from the office were walking behind her, and they saw her get into a luxury car.
One of the women, looking at the familiar license plate, said, "Why does the car Chu Yang got into look so familiar?"
The other replied, "What's familiar? I don't think so."
"It is, definitely."
After a moment, the first woman froze. "I know now. Isn't that license plate the young boss's?"
The two women stared at each other with wide eyes. "No way... Chu Yang... she..."
"I heard the young boss has a girlfriend, and she's from A University!"
"So..."
"Oh my god!!!!"
The two women immediately shared the news in their gossip group chat. Soon, many people knew that the intern named Chu Yang was actually the young boss's girlfriend!
"So that beautiful bag of hers was probably bought by the young boss, right?"
"These past few days, Chu Yang always goes out alone at lunch. Could she be meeting the young boss?"
"Ahhh, we've been working alongside the young boss's girlfriend for days!"
"We didn't say anything gossipy about the young boss when we were chatting, did we?"
"I don't think so. We've been busy with that incident lately, haven't really talked about him."

"Thank goodness."
...
The next day, when Chu Yang arrived at the company, she noticed people stealing glances at her, quickly looking away when she caught them.
She checked her outfit, which seemed normal.
As soon as she entered the office, everyone turned to look at her. Chu Yang pretended not to notice and greeted everyone, "Good morning."
"Good morning, ma'am."
Chu Yang: ? Why the sudden formality?
When Jin Yang arrived, he sent her a message explaining: "Someone saw you getting into Chi Yan's car yesterday, so now everyone knows you're the future boss's girlfriend."
Chu Yang finally understood what was going on, but she didn't say anything. She decided to act like she didn't know. However, she did tell Chi Yan about it. "It seems everyone knows I'm your girlfriend now."
Chi Yan flashed a big smile at her. Later, during lunch, while Chu Yang was eating with Jin Yang, someone sat down next to them.
Chu Yang looked up and saw it was Chi Yan!
People around them kept glancing over. Jin Yang greeted Chi Yan briefly, then tactfully moved aside.
Chu Yang asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
Chi Yan picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with his chopsticks and put it on her plate. "Now that everyone knows, we don't need to hide anymore, right?"
So you're being this open about it?
Chu Yang lowered her head and continued eating her rice without saying anything.
From then on, they didn't need to conceal their relationship anymore. At the end of the workday, they no longer had to walk to the street corner separately. Instead, Chu Yang got into Chi Yan's car directly under everyone's watchful eyes.
