Chapter 848

She was now like a clown, looking as miserable as she could be.

Melody Fox then said, “Forget it, let’s just say that you’ve completed it. You can leave now.”

At this moment, Shen Qiqin even wanted to kill Melody Fox. She had grown up in a pampered environment. Although she had to bow to others, this was the first time in her life that she had suffered such humiliation.

However, it was difficult for her to fight so many people alone. She could only run out dejectedly and quickly disappeared.

“Hehe, serves her right!” Nana Jensen sneered and said, “I’ve disliked her for a long time. She’s just a fence-sitter. In the past, when they didn’t intend to work with us, Shen Qiqin didn’t even look at me. Most especially when I was chased out at home by my father, she mocked me with the other socialites. Now that she needs our family, she actually has the cheek to come and give me gifts every day. How disgusting!”

Melody Fox did not care about that.

Everyone had their own aspirations. She did not comment on how Shen Qiqin handled things.

What she cared about was something else.

Melody Fox could not help but ask, “Why is your family working with them? Aren’t they from the Halcyon Research Institute? Aren’t the research funds from the Halcyon government?”

“That’s the Shen family’s private laboratory. Moreover, even if it’s an official project, they have to produce some results first before the government can fork out the project funds. And before they produce results, they have to fork out the funds themselves. Therefore, our two families have been discussing a collaboration recently…”

“I see.” Melody Fox nodded and said, “I don’t know much about this, but let me give you a piece of advice. The Shen family aren’t very clean. It’s best not to cooperate with them, in case one day when the government investigates, your family will also be implicated.”

“I understand. I’ll tell my father when I get back. My father listens to me now. He’ll do whatever I say.”

“That’s the best.”

Melody Fox nodded and looked up at the Zuo’an Tingzhi manager.

Manager Zuo An finally found a chance to speak. He bowed and walked forward like a eunuch who had lost his roots in ancient times.

“Miss Fox, the matter has been clarified. It’s all my fault for being blind and being deceived by my subordinates. You didn’t break the vase. I apologize for my previous stupidity! I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive me this time…”

As the manager of the Zuo’an Tingzhi spoke, he kicked Sales Xu. “Idiot! Hurry up and beg Miss Fox for forgiveness!”

Only then did Salesman Xu react. However, his legs were completely limp and he could not stand up at all. He could only kneel on the ground and kowtow to Melody Fox. “I was wrong, Miss Fox, please forgive me!”

Melody Fox said in amusement, “I’m not a priest in a church. Why does everyone come to me for forgiveness? It has already happened. Can you make it seem like it never happened just by saying sorry?”

Salesman Xu gritted his teeth and said, “Miss Fox, I admit that I did push the vase down on purpose to frame you, but I only did it because Miss Shen forced me… Don’t worry, I’ll pay for the vase. Even if I have to sell everything, I’ll compensate for the vase. I won’t let you lose any money.” The more Melody Fox listened, the colder her expression became.

“Don’t you understand? In front of me, it doesn’t matter who broke the vase. What’s important is… I don’t like you.” Salesman Xu’s heart turned cold. He could only turn to the manager.

“Manager, please help me. I really know my mistake. I was wrong!”

As he spoke, he slapped himself hard.

Zuo’an Tingzhi’s manager was smart enough to observe Melody Fox’s expression first. Seeing that she had no intention of easing up, he said with a sullen face, “How dare you frame a distinguished guest in Area A. I don’t think you have to stay here to work anymore. Go back, pack your things, and get lost immediately!”

“No, no…” Sales Manager Xu shook his head vigorously and said, “Manager, please don’t fire me. I’ll do anything you want. Yes… I can do it upside down. Miss Fox. Why don’t I do it upside down for you to see?”

Melody Fox said indifferently, “If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? There’s karma in the world. You planted the evil karma yourself, so you deserve to eat it. I was the one who was framed today. I can escape unscathed, but who can say if you will frame other innocent people who can’t testify?”

“I won’t do it again. Never again. Really…

Melody Fox scratched her earlobe.

“It’s too noisy.”

The manager of the Zuo’an Tingzhi immediately called the security guards and dragged Sales Xu out.

After Sales Manager Xu was taken away, Manager Zuo’an Tingzhi immediately put on a groveling posture and said to Melody Fox, “Miss Fox, that wretched man is insensible and has already been dealt with. You must calm down. It’s not worth it to be angry and hurt your health. How about this? I’Il bring you to sign the house purchase contract now?” “There’s no need.” Melody Fox pointed at Zhang Wenwen and said, “I’ve told her that she’ll be in charge of my order.”

Zuo’an Tingzhi Manager was stunned.

“But she’s just a service-“

Halfway through his sentence, he immediately changed his words. “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll get Wenwen to bring you to sign the contract now. Wenwen, why aren’t you leading the way? Remember to make a good cup of coffee for Miss Fox. Oh right, there’s also her friend.”

Melody Fox raised her eyebrows and said, “You don’t have to worry about these things.”

Zuo An quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll let Wenwen take full responsibility.”

“You get the wrong idea. I mean, you don’t have to come to work anymore.”

Zuo’an Tingzhi Manager’s eyelids jerked up.

“What… do you mean?”

Before he could retort in his heart that although Melody Fox was a guest in Area A, he was not qualified to fire him, he heard Melody Fox say again, “Aaron Berg, can you handle such a small matter yourself by firing a sales manager?”

“Of course. Give me a minute.”

After Aaron Berg finished speaking, he immediately found a cell phone number in his contact list and dialed it. After the call was connected, he pulled off the work pass on the left bank manager’s chest and ordered the person on the other end of the phone, “Fire the manager of the sales office of the Zuo’an Tingzhi. His name is Lu Guangyao.”

Lu Guangyao had an expression that said, “Are you kidding me?”

However, in the next second, Aaron Berg handed the phone to him.

“Listen to it yourself!”

Lu Guangyao put the phone to his ear skeptically. When he heard the other party’s voice and words clearly, his eyelids suddenly rolled back.

“Department Head Zhao… I…, I… Don’t, don’t fire me…”

Lu Guangyao Fox started wailing.

However, Aaron Berg couldn’t be bothered to listen to his nonsense and took back his phone.

“Did you hear it clearly? You’ve already been fired. Get lost!”

“No, no, I was wrong. Miss Fox, mister, I was wrong… Wenwen, help me, help me…”

Zhang Wenwen turned her face away in disgust.

Lu Guangyao did offer her a job, but his motives were not pure and he tried to take advantage of her every now and then.

Although she was lucky enough to dodge it every time, she still felt disgusted by Lu Guangyao.

Now that Lu Guangyao was fired, she could finally heave a sigh of relief.
