Chapter 57 -57: Not Bo Jingyan’s Lover_1

Thinking about this, Xia Qingtian took a deep breath, checked her appearance to confirm that everything was fine, and then turned to leave.

After the meeting was concluded, Xia Qingtian went back to her desk, tidied up her work for the day, and soon it was time to clock out.

As Xia Qingtian got up to pack her things and said goodbye to her colleagues, she left the department and hailed a taxi home.

Her busy day had finally come to an end.

In the next few days, Xia Qingtian was engrossed in the amusement park project. Despite everyone working well together and everything going smooth, Mary kept rejecting the proposal for some reason.

Xia had gone to Mary multiple times to find out why, but the answer was always “unprofessional” or “lacking appeal”.

Because the proposal was continuously rejected, the amusement park construction couldn’t commence. Xia was extremely anxious, forcing her to constantly make changes to the proposal.

That afternoon.

Xia was at her desk, modifying the amusement park’s construction proposal for the umpteenth time, when Amy, a colleague, couldn’t help but ask, “Qingtian, how many times have you made changes to this?”

“Seventh time, I guess,” Xia lifted her head from the computer, turning to look at Amy as she replied. She gave a deep sigh after speaking.

The President had already invested in the amusement park project, so in theory, there shouldn’t be any need for continuous revisions,” Amy said skeptically, “Qingtian, did you somehow offend Mary?”

“I don’t think so,” Xia Qingtian furrowed her brows, thinking back to how Mary had spoken up for her during the meeting on the first day, offering her a tissue afterwards. Could she really have targeted her for some reason?

But looking at the proposal that had been rejected time and again, she couldn’t help but be unsure.

“I don’t know then,” Amy said, glancing at her sympathetically before resuming her own work.

Hearing her colleague’s words stirred up some dissatisfaction in Xia. She stared at the proposal on her computer screen and felt a surge of indignation, but she had to suppress it.

Even if she was being targeted, she could do nothing about it. She had to continue with the project, so all she could do was modify it again and again. Surely Mary wouldn’t stall until the contract expired?

With that thought, Xia Qingtian once again picked up her mouse and began to painstakingly make changes.

She finally finished the last round of edits before the end of the workday, sent the proposal to Mary’s email, and breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes were heavy and sore.

“Qingtian, I’m leaving first,” Amy finished packing up early, and seeing Xia still at her desk, said goodbye.

“Goodbye,” Xia lifted her head to give her a smile and started to tidy up her work area.

After a while, she picked up her bag and was about to leave her department when her phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

“Buzz——”

Thinking it was Mary with new suggestions, Xia instantly picked up her phone. But as she looked at the name on the screen, she was stunned.

Bo Jingyan had sent her a message asking her to meet him at the A Zone parking lot of the Group.

Xia Qingtian frowned, absolutely puzzled. She opened the text message, verified the sender to be Bo Jingyan’s number, and became even more confused.

Why did he want her to meet him in the parking lot at this hour? Was something urgent?

With her mind full of questions, Xia picked up her bag, left the department, and took the elevator to the underground parking lot.

The parking lot of the Group was divided into several areas, with seniors parked in Zone A and ordinary employees in Zones B and C.

Bo Jingyan had his own designated parking area near Zone A, so Xia Qingtian went straight to Zone A.

At this point, most of the senior staff had left, leaving Area A deserted.

She walked in, trying to find Bo Jingyan’s spot, when suddenly she noticed a familiar figure standing by a black car.

It was Mary!

Upon seeing her, Xia’s heart skipped a beat, instinctively turning around to flee, fearing Mary would make her revise the proposal again.

“As for Xia Qingtian you mentioned, I’ve already checked it out, she’s not the President’s mistress.”

Xia Qingtian was about to turn back when she heard her name mentioned and stopped in her tracks.

A mistress? Was Mary investigating her?

As a tinge of fear crossed Xia Qingtian’s mind, she hid herself in order to overhear more of the conversation.

Mary was leaning against the car door, with a luxury handbag in one hand and a phone in the other, her sarcastic voice echoing in the parking lot.

“Don’t worry, Xia Qingtian definitely isn’t the President’s mole. I’ve kept a sharp eye on every step of this project. I’m sure there won’t be any issues. Skimming off 15% profit wouldn’t be noticed as long as the books are kept carefully,” she sneered.

Hearing this, Xia was shocked. She turned to look at Mary, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Mary was taking kickbacks from the project!

“Oh, and about what you asked earlier, I’ve figured that out too. President Bo is planning to bid for the land in the West Area with a budget of 500 million. As agreed, transfer the money to my account tonight,” Mary discussed something and then burst into laughter.

On hearing this, Xia’s pupils widened in surprise and she quickly covered her mouth to stifle any sounds that might give her away.

Not only was Mary pocketing money, she was even selling Bo Group’s information. She was stepping on all the landmines in the workplace!

Xia suddenly realized why Mary had been nice to her at first, only to suddenly change her attitude. Initially, Mary had presumed she was involved with Bo Jingyan and wanted to win her over. But post-investigation, on finding out that there was no definitive relationship, she gave up pretenses and directly targeted her.

Thinking about how her tirelessly revised proposal was rejected simply because Mary disapproved of her, a flame of anger sparked in Xia.

Damn her!

In her fury, Xia suddenly realized that Mary was about to wrap up her phone call. Fearful that she’d be discovered, she turned to run away.

Mary, holding her phone and leaning on the car, glanced at the reflection on the car opposite her and saw a figure. She hung up after a few seconds and turned to look. It was Xia Qingtian trying to leave.

“Stop!” Mary shouted and quickly moved forward, grabbing Xia Qingtian’s wrist and pulling her back. She glared at her in anger, “Why are you here?”

Xia Qingtian jumped when she was suddenly grabbed, being pulled to the side and meeting Mary’s gloomy face.

Cought, she instinctively felt nervous.

But thinking of the way Mary had treated her recently, Xia’s heart sank, and she regained composure. She pulled her hand back and said without flinching, “Why can’t I be here?”

Right now, Mary should be the one more nervous, right?

“This is the parking area for the Group’s senior staff. As an employee of a subsidiary, you’re not qualified to be here,” Mary stared at Xia Qingtian with keen eyes, her face terrifyingly cold.

“Then I’ll leave,” Xia Qingtian said calmly, turning around, ready to go.

Naturally, Mary wouldn’t let her leave so easily. She stepped in front of her, blocking her path.
