Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Yan Pingdan came back, he joined a famous big company, Tianpeng Group. Two years later, he joined the rising star, Era Group.
When Song Qinghuan graduated from university, she wanted to share this piece of good news with her brother. But she realized that he couldn’t be found anywhere.
His phone was turned off and he never logged on to his QQ or WeChat again.
Song Qinghuan went to Yan Pingdan’s residence but the landlord told her that Yan Pingdan had already terminated his lease.
Yan Pingdan had suddenly disappeared.
Just when Song Qinghuan wanted to call the police, she got struck by this unexpected piece of news.
All the media outlets in A City started reporting on this piece of news: “The CFO of Era Group, Yan Pingdan, embezzled the company funds and escaped. His whereabouts are currently unknown.”
Song Qinghuan saw the headlines many times but every time she looked at these words, her heart ached.
Yan Pingdan embezzled the company funds and ran away? How was that possible?
His older brother was smart, proud, and kind. How could he have run away with the company funds?
Song Qinghuan didn’t believe that her brother was this kind of person. She thought her brother must’ve been framed.
To get justice for her older brother, to ensure that he could return home as early as possible, Song Qinghuan decided to join Era Group to discover the truth.
However, she graduated from a third-tier college and wasn’t able to join a huge company like Era Group. She sent out her resume ten times but she didn’t even get any interview invites.
Thus, Song Qinghuan decided to get in through the back door. She investigated the HR director for Era Group, Zhao Jingnan. She knew he would be tending to some guests at Jinghong Hotel, so she made ample preparations and went there.
Yet, she never expected “Manager Zhao” to make such a request. If she didn’t agree to marry him, he wouldn’t allow her to join Era Group.
What should she do?
Song Qinghuan felt helpless and sorrowful. She flipped through her brother’s notebook slowly. “Today is the first day of my work here at Era Group. I’m very happy. I can finally help X. I don’t dare to write his name. I’m afraid that someone will see this notebook I carry around with me and his plans will be ruined.”
X? Who was he? Or was it a she? Who was this person? Looking at her brother’s tone, he seemed to like this person.
Her brother joined the company because of this person. Did this mean that her brother’s disappearance was linked to this person as well?
Could her brother be with this person now? Or was her brother dead because of this person?
She closed the notebook slowly. Song Qinghuan was in a daze. She stared absentmindedly at the wall in front of her. She blinked. A resolute gaze flashed in her eyes.
She would never believe that her older brother ran away with the company funds. He must’ve been framed! Now, the only clue she had was this mysterious “X”.
She must find out the identity of X. She must find out if her older brother was dead or alive.
She would marry “Manager Zhao”. It would just be a fake marriage; there would be nothing to worry about.
