After a few days, the evidence collection was nearly complete. Meanwhile, Chen Shuqin, with the help of her lawyer, was preparing to confront Gao Qing and Lin Jinping. I received a call from Chen Shuqin. Her voice sounded relaxed and cheerful.
"I got promoted! Although the salary isn't high, it's much better than when I was a housewife," she said. "And during this time, I've figured out all of Gao Qing's assets."
I chuckled. "Congratulations!"
Chen Shuqin laughed lightly and continued, "Didn't I tell you before? Under Lin Jinping's urging, Gao Qing has started to provoke me."
"I managed to find out when and how they plan to ruin your reputation."
I frowned slightly. "They want to tarnish my name at my celebration party?"
Chen Shuqin affirmed, "Yes, they want me to create a scene at your celebration party, accusing you of seducing a married man so that the leaders will fire you."
"Ma Hui, should I confront them directly?"
I shook my head. "No need. Since we’re going to do this, let’s do it thoroughly. How about we create a play within a play?"
At my celebration party, I would hold two S-level projects in my hands; my promotion was already a certainty. Cao Baoqing had specially arranged the banquet at the city's most prestigious hotel and invited many industry bigwigs, clearly paving the way for my career. Lin Jinping was also present.
She held a goblet, a smile on her face. "Ma Hui, congratulations! Your career is really taking off."
I smiled back. "Thank you."
Lin Jinping noticed that there weren't many people around, and her smile gradually faded.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth. "But with such a smooth career, your love life seems to be a mess. That must be painful, right?"
I chuckled softly. "Not at all. My husband treats me very well, and my parents are in good health."
"I heard your husband has been in some trouble lately?"
Lin Jinping's expression darkened instantly.
Recently, a corruption scandal erupted at her husband's workplace, leading to the downfall of the top leader. As a former top leader himself, her husband was inevitably implicated.
Though he insisted on his innocence, who would believe him? I heard he had been too afraid to go home these days, sleeping at the office instead, worried about facing a crowd of reporters waiting outside his door.
Lin Jinping scoffed coldly. "You should take care of yourself."
I raised an eyebrow. "I'm doing just fine, thanks for your concern."
Lin Jinping looked visibly upset.
Just as she was about to leave, I continued, "I heard your husband is planning to divorce you?"
Lin Jinping suddenly turned her head, her face as pale as paper. "You..."
I smiled innocently. "What about me?"
She gritted her teeth. "Don't get too smug!"
I took a gentle sip of red wine, maintaining a faint smile on my face. "I am smug; what are you going to do about it?"
Lin Jinping trembled with anger, pointing a finger at me but unable to utter a word.
I raised an eyebrow at her. "What? Are you planning to fight me here?"
Lin Jinping was quite angry. She took a few deep breaths to suppress the fury within her.
"Ma Hui, don't get too cocky. Do you think you've won?"
"I'll tell you, you haven't won yet!"
I looked at her with a half-smile. "Oh?"
Lin Jinping sneered, "Let's wait and see." With that, she turned and walked away.
After she left, Xiao An approached me, concern etched on her face.
"Sister Fang, do you think Lin Jinping will do something to you?"
I shook my head. "No, she wouldn't dare."
I knew Lin Jinping well; her greatest trait was that she bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing me now was like a mouse spotting a cat—she would only scurry away from me.
