Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Do We Need Such Lowbrow Humor?

Evening time.

In the banquet hall on the first floor of the Hyatt Restaurant.

Soft music swirled overhead, while elegant chandeliers cast a warm yellow glow.

Beautifully prepared square tables were set with exquisite snacks.

The surrounding decor was luxurious yet uniquely tasteful.

Several employees from the MXL counter were busy at work.

They checked the preparations for the appreciation event again, hoping that the evening’s affair would unfold smoothly.

After completing her check, Lin Qian surveyed the surroundings, looking at the banquet hall she had meticulously arranged, and a satisfied smile spread across her face.

Everything was ready; all that was missing was the guest of honor!

"Manager Lin, come over here."

Chen Fei quickly walked up to Lin Qian and pulled her into a corner.

"What’s wrong?" Lin Qian asked with a hint of suspicion.

Chen Fei looked around before pulling a USB flash drive out of her pocket.

"This was sent over by Shen Bing, she sent me a message to play the content on this drive during the customer appreciation event. Manager Lin, I’m sure they’re up to no good; there’s definitely nothing pleasant on this."

Hearing this, Lin Qian’s eyebrows slightly lifted.

Chen Fei had reported to her early in the morning that Shen Bing had asked for the customer appreciation event schedule.

Thinking that Chen Fei was one of her own and any tricks by Qiao Xiya would surely be spotted from their side, Lin Qian hadn’t asked Chen Fei to conceal the event schedule.

There had been no moves from Qiao Xiya’s side in the past few days, and Lin Qian had thought she might have been overthinking things.

But now, it seemed the problem had arrived after all.

She wondered what kind of stunt those two were trying to pull.

"Alright, I understand, thank you, Chen Fei." Lin Qian gave her a grateful smile.

"What are you talking about? Manager Lin, I owe you," Chen Fei said in a mockingly stern gaze, "Alright, I’ve done my part, I’ll go back to work. Call me if you need anything."

"Go ahead," Lin Qian smiled, not bothering with any more pleasantries.

Her eyes scanned the USB flash drive in her hand. Lin Qian pursed her lips and quickly walked into a lounge, taking out her laptop from her bag and plugging in the USB drive.

There was a video file on the drive.

Lin Qian’s hand on the mouse hesitated before clicking to open the file.

The screen was a sight for sore eyes.

It showed several naked men surrounding a woman lying in bed, her hair disheveled, and she too was without a stitch on her body.

Lin Qian instinctively turned her head away, furrowing her brows in tension.

What on earth is this!

Did Qiao Xiya really have to stoop to such low tastes?

Did she want to play this kind of stuff during the customer appreciation event to slander MXL’s reputation?

This is sick!

Luckily for her, Chen Fei was on her side now; otherwise, they would have been the laughingstock of the industry for showing such a thing during a seemingly fine appreciation event.

Lin Qian was speechless and about to unplug the USB drive.

As she leaned forward slightly, she froze in a glance that was reflexive.

Was she seeing things?

Why did the person on the screen look like...

Lin Qian hurriedly rubbed her eyes and sat up straight to focus on the offensive screen, zooming in on the image.

The woman’s face became crystal clear.

Those delicate eyebrows, that radiant demeanor, if not Fang Tong, then who?

The woman in the video seemed younger than the current Fang Tong, but there was no doubt it was her.

Fang Tong had a conspicuous black mole on her neck.

The woman in this video was definitely Fang Tong from several years ago!

What on earth was going on?

Why was it a video of Fang Tong entangled with men?

Lin Qian swallowed dryly as the nearly one-minute video came abruptly to a halt, buzzing in her mind.

Fang Tong wasn’t that kind of woman.

Seeing how she had her eyes closed the whole time, letting the men touch her without reacting, she must have been unconscious at the time.

She must have been framed!

She just didn’t know who had framed her.

And when was this surveillance footage filmed, how could Qiao Xiya have such footage!

Thinking of Fang Tong’s entertainment industry background, Lin Qian’s brows twisted tightly.

Could it be photos taken by someone with ulterior motives before her debut?

It was infuriating!

Knock, knock— the sound of knocking came, and Lin Qian quickly unplugged the USB drive and closed her laptop.

"Coming."

Lin Qian walked over and opened the door to see Chen Fei leading Chu Ziyang standing at the entrance.

"Manager Lin, your son has come."

Chen Fei smiled and pushed Chu Ziyang into the room.

"Alright, thank you!"

Lin Qian was somewhat distracted as she smiled at Chen Fei and pulled Chu Ziyang to sit on the couch.

"Sweetie, can you play here by yourself for a while? Candy will be coming soon too, mommy needs to get busy."

Because there was a customer appreciation event that evening, Lin Qian had Chu Ziyang take a taxi directly to the hotel so he could watch some performances, have some food, and enjoy himself.

"Mhm, mommy, don’t worry about me; go ahead with your work."

Chu Ziyang looked around and nodded.

He hadn’t seen his father all this time; he didn’t even know what his father was busy with these past two days.

Wait until later—he definitely wanted to find an opportunity to talk to his dad.

"Then mommy will go first."

Lin Qian said to Chu Ziyang again, preparing to leave.

Chu Ziyang glanced at the laptop and pointed with his small finger, "Mommy, let me see the computer."

"Sure."

Lin Qian nodded, tousled his soft hair, somewhat absent-minded.

At that moment, her phone rang.

Lin Qian took out her phone from her pocket to look—it was an unfamiliar number.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Qian answered the call.

"Hello, who’s this?"

"Is this Miss Lin Qian?"

A young woman’s voice came from the other end, tinged with uncertainty.

Lin Qian felt it was somewhat familiar, yet couldn’t recall who it was.

"It’s me, who are you?"

"I’m Wu Nan, Xiya’s former assistant."

Xiya’s former assistant?

Lin Qian was startled, somewhat surprised, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

They had no connection.

She and Xiya were not on good terms.

Why would Xiya’s assistant call her?

"Miss Lin, I just resigned, so from now on, I am no longer Xiya’s assistant."

The woman on the other end of the phone said, "Miss Lin, do you remember? Last time at the mall, when Xiya wanted to make things difficult for me, Miss Lin, you came to my aid, and I’ve always kept it in my heart. So, I want to reveal some information to you."

The incident at the mall?

Lin Qian thought about it and realized she was talking about last time in the mall, when Xiya insisted she act as an extra; she refused, so Xiya made her assistant come out and persuade her.

If the assistant couldn’t persuade her, the assistant would be in trouble.

And because she felt sorry for the assistant, she had agreed readily.

So now, this assistant wanted to repay the favor?

Lin Qian blinked and then heard the woman on the phone continue, "Just now, I saw Xiya hand Shen Bing a USB drive, which had just been pulled from a computer. I heard her instruct Shen Bing to hurry and give this USB drive to a woman named Chen Fei, and to play the content on it during your prepared customer appreciation event. She wants to make a mockery of your event tonight, and she wants to see Fang Tong embarrassed."

A flood of emotions surged in Lin Qian’s heart.

She hadn’t expected the assistant to tell her about this.

Good deeds bring good karma!

A simple act of kindness had been remembered.

Lin Qian curved her lips into a smile, "Miss Wu, thank you for telling me all this."

Although she had already gotten the USB drive, this assistant’s intention touched her, and she was grateful.

"No need to thank me; I actually have my own reasons."

The other party laughed, "Miss Lin is a good person. I’ve been Xiya’s assistant for so many years and have had enough of her scheming and savage ways, so I really hope you can defeat her and end up with Mr. Yin."
