Zhao Quan felt a twinge of temptation.
Fang Yuan asserted, “You have three seconds to decide.”
“How can 1 be sure there’s no backup?” Despite the temptation, Zhao Quan remained cautious.
“If 1 say there isn’t, there isn’t. Check for yourself.” Fang Yuan tossed the mouse in his direction.
Zhao Quan promptly scanned the computer. It appeared there was indeed no backup…
Fang Yuan waved the USB drive and began counting. “One, two…”
Zhao Quan seized the USB drive, finally feeling a sense of relief. He smirked maliciously. “Young lady, as someone experienced in such matters, let me advise you as an elder that sometimes it’s unwise to place too much trust in friendship.” So much evidence handed to him at once! All this for the truth behind the leaked design draft? In the end, she was too young and naive!
“Can you spill the beans now?” Fang Yuan regarded him with interest. “I assure you, there are no backups.”
“Promise me that if you do, you’ll be struck by lightning and meet a gruesome end!” Zhao Quan insisted on a venomous oath.
“Alright!” Fang Yuan agreed without hesitation.
Observing her calm demeanor, Zhao Quan believed her. He reverted to his usual nonchalant self, reclining in his chair.
“I did leak the draft to Yin Shang. That day, seeing you leave the office, 1 used the spare key to enter…”
At this point, Zhao Quan grinned cunningly. “Bet you didn’t expect you to have a spare key in your office, huh? Truth is, every office in the company has one!”
“Oh,” Fang Yuan responded with a smile, confirming her suspicion.
“I fabricated a story about losing my office key and visited the human resources department to obtain the spare key. The staff took forever to find it, so 1 exploited her delay and located it myself. Conveniently, I borrowed the key to your office.”
Fang Yuan had already anticipated this revelation. In this moment, she smirked and silently observed Zhao Quan ensnare himself.
“But 1 still don’t get it. How much did Charm Cloth offer you to betray the company?” she inquired.
Zhao Quan grinned, revealing his motives. “Thirty percent of the total sales! If I sell products worth ten million yuan, I get three million yuan! Isn’t that quicker than the company’s slow earnings?” After a year of toiling in the company, how much could he earn?
This information was also discerned by Fang Yuan from their chat history. She feigned surprise and asked, “So much?”
“Of course!” Zhao Quan nonchalantly boasted, as though he held the winning ticket in life. “But you were too arrogant before. If not for that, I could’ve brought you into the fold, and we could have made money together. Why slave away for the Cheng family?”
“Aren’t they treating you well?” Fang Yuan probed further.
“Treat me well? Don’t make me laugh!” Zhao Quan scoffed, displaying a complete lack of concern for the Cheng family. “A year ago, you invited me to oversee the company, offering a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan. A CEO’s monthly salary—20,000 yuan. Can you believe it?”
Fang Yuan remained composed. “I’ve reviewed your details. Considering your relatively short tenure in the company, 20,000 yuan isn’t a low amount.
Moreover, with other subsidies, you could be earning over 40,000 yuan monthly.”
“Can 40,000 compare to 3,000,000?” Zhao Quan reclined in his chair. “How many years do I need to work to make 3,000,000? With Charm Cloth, 1 can easily make that amount!”
“But your three million yuan comes at the cost of framing others. Panpan might end up in jail because of this!”
“Whose fault is it for being so foolish?” Zhao Quan retorted with displeasure. “This is the consequence of choosing the wrong side! If she had just agreed to my request and let me have my way…”
Fang Yuan frowned, interrupting him. “What do you mean?”
“Before you arrived, 1 offered her a choice: to live a comfortable life in the company by following me to bed or to establish herself based on her own merits. She chose the latter…”
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan swiftly grabbed the water from the table and splashed it onto Zhao Quan’s face.
“Scum!” It was revealed that he had also set his sights on Gu Panpan. Thankfully, Panpan resisted his advances. She preferred to strive within the company rather than succumb to the likes of Zhao Quan!
Zhao Quan wiped the water off his face, laughing uproariously. He then stood up and declared, “I assume you’ve finished your questioning. You’re leaving the company tomorrow. Let me share a piece of advice from someone experienced in these matters.. Money always trumps love! Sacrificing your interests for love is sheer foolishness!”
