Chapter 476: She Is Mrs. Shen! (6)
How true was the ancient saying that subordinates imitated their boss’ vices!
Zhang Chunhua narrowed her eyes even more as she said, “When Meimei was with Liu Zhixing, she had no idea he was married!”
“But that would mean she was a third party. Whether she knew it or not, it doesn’t make a difference, isn’t that so?”
With every mention of the word ‘third party,’ Zhang Chunhua’s expression turned uglier.
She stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Lian roughly by her arm, threw open her office door and walked out dragging Qiao Lian behind her.
Qiao Lian tried to shake off her grip, but Zhang Chunhua was, after all, a strong middle-aged woman. Qiao Lian was not able to escape.
Both of them realized now they were in Team One’s office.
Zhang Chunhua had a smirk on her face and her eyes were on Qiao Lian. “Everyone gather around and listen to this! I want to expose this woman’s true colours before all of you today.”
Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes. “What do you want? What true colours are you talking about?”
She had not done anything wrong and had no idea what Zhang Chunhua was going to say.
As these words came out, Zhang Chunhua sneered, “It’s true indeed that Meimei was careless and got herself on the wrong path. However, even if she was a third party, at most she disrupted the harmony in the Managing Editor’s family for a short time. But what about you?”
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank.
The next moment, Zhang Chunhua laughed derisively, as she continued to address the people who had gathered around, “Do you know who she is? Do you know who her parents were?”
Team One’s staff as well as Shi Nianyao, who had rushed over once she had heard what was happening, were all stumped and looked at Qiao Lian questioningly.
Someone asked, “Who?”
Qiao Lian frowned and clenched her fists. She now had an idea of what Zhang Chunhua was about to say.
Her expression turned sharp and penetrating.
She glared at Zhang Chunhua, her eyes flashing with anger. “Zhang Chunhua, shut up!”
Zhang Chunhua raised an eyebrow and said with a smirk, “Why? Afraid that I’ll tell everyone? I bet your guilty conscience is bothering you. Ah, the more you wish to have it swept under the carpet, the more I’ll expose the truth, so that they know what sort of person they have been working with for the past year.”
She turned to the people who had gathered and continued, “Do you guys remember that eight years ago, there was a huge building project in Suzhou that collapsed because the developers skimped on the budget and stinted on materials? It ultimately caused the death of seventeen workers.”
Upon hearing this, most of them stared blankly at Zhang Chunhua.
After all, many among the staff were young and still in school eight years ago. How would they be aware of such things?
But there were also a few reporters who were older and they were immediately stunned. “I remember now. You’re referring to the case of the Xiushui Commercial Building? The evil developer acquired the land and started to sell properties before the building was even built. The buyers paid for their properties and waited for the building’s completion. But who would have thought that to secure a greater profit margin, the developers would do a sloppy job and that resulted in the collapse of the building?! On top of the seventeen construction workers who died, there were the buyers, who had used their hard-earned life savings to purchase the properties—they were shocked! The developer refused to compensate them with a single cent. This was a piece of sensational news back then! Eventually the developer committed suicide to escape punishment.”
Following this explanation, he looked at Qiao Lian and asked Zhang Chunhua, “But what has all this got to do with Qiao Lian?”
Every muscle in Qiao Lian’s body tensed up as she clenched her fists.
Zhang Chunhua then said sternly, “She is the daughter of the evil developer!”
Everyone gasped upon hearing this.
They turned simultaneously to look at Qiao Lian as she turned pale as a sheet.
Zhang Chunhua sneered as she continued, “Some of the people who bought a property from them at that time had sold off their own properties, so up until now they have no homes!”
