Chapter 101 Accomplices
A few days later, the illustration department selected several better works and handed them over to Teacher Gu Qing's studio. Teacher Gu Qing will decide the final result.

Because the illustration department lost Xia Ruotang, all the work originally assigned to her group was assigned to other groups. For a while, the workload of other groups increased.

In the past few days, Yan Xi would observe Fu Ran's situation from time to time while he was busy with work. Apart from work, he basically had no communication with her. When Yan Xi took the initiative to talk to her, he would avoid the important things and just ignore them.

Even Qian Qian discovered this situation.

She looked at Fu Ran, who was sitting at his workstation with a lot of worries, and asked in confusion, "Ranran, what's happened to you recently? Are you worried about something?"

Fu Ran looked at Yan Xi inadvertently and met her eyes. He hurriedly avoided it in a panic. She pretended to be nonchalant and replied, "No...nothing."

Qian Qian was even more surprised. He slid his chair to her side and said, "No, you definitely have something on your mind."

"No." Fu Ran randomly found an excuse and wanted to pass it off, "I just think it's not easy to do this job. If you want to be respected by others, you have to work hard yourself."

"Oh?"

Qian Qian was surprised. Unexpectedly, Fu Ran, who usually always acted badly, suddenly became enlightened.

She didn't pay much attention and concentrated on her work again.

Yanxi watched her quietly, and the moment she saw her leave her position, she got up and followed quietly.

In the tea room, Fu Ran continued to boil the water absentmindedly. She didn't come back to her senses until the water overflowed and accidentally burned her hand.

She exclaimed in pain, her eyes instantly turned red, and she became even more irritable as she stared at her burned fingers.

Suddenly a pair of hands appeared in front of her eyes, grabbing her wrist and taking her to the pool, turning on the cold water to rinse her red fingers.

She looked at Yan Xi in astonishment, who was washing the wound carefully in front of her. Looking at her burned finger, Yan Xi frowned slightly and glanced at Fu Ran worriedly, which happened to meet her eyes.

Noticing her reddish eyes, Yan Xi said softly, "Is it painful? How could you be so careless."

Fu Ran pursed his lips slightly and replied after a moment, "I was thinking about something just now and didn't notice it."

After saying that, she lowered her head in a very depressed mood.

After washing her wound, Yanxi checked it carefully, and found out that there was no major problem, so he was relieved.

Taking this opportunity, she looked up at Fu Ran, and asked in a calm tone, "Ranran, what's the matter with you recently? Ever since Xia Ruotang happened, I feel like you're always avoiding me."

"No, no." Fu Ran hastily defended, her tone gradually becoming cautious, "That's my character. I was afraid of teachers when I was young, and I'm afraid of leaders when I grow up."

Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, what kind of explanation was she talking about? What's more, "Ranran, I'm not the leader, and didn't we get along well before?"

Fu Ran glanced at her face, his eyes averted, he pursed his lips slightly, and said slowly, "But you are the boss's wife now, aren't you also the leader?"

Yan Xi smiled helplessly, this was obviously her excuse.

"Ranran, it's obvious to you that Qian Qian and I are sisters now."

She instantly put away the smile on her face, pretending to share the news, and continued to talk to Ran, "Ranran, I really treat you as a good friend, so let me tell you a secret. In the boss's office, Xia Ruotang She was responsible for all the thefts of my works. She said that someone secretly helped her, and she was able to get all my manuscripts without anyone noticing. Moreover, her accomplice was someone in our group. "

Yan Xi paid attention to Fu Ran's reaction as he spoke, and saw that the expression on her face suddenly became nervous. It was this reaction that made Yan Xi conclude that it was her.

Looking at her, Yan Xi's expression became more and more serious. It was hard to believe that she, who had always been regarded as a sister, would do such a thing to her for someone else.

In an instant, his eyes were full of disappointment with her.

Seeing her silence, Yan Xi sighed, glanced outside the door, and found that no colleague was passing by before he spoke straight to the point.

"Ranran, can you tell me why you would do such a thing?"

Fu Ran's emotions that had been accumulated for a long time were all released at this moment. He looked at Yan Xi and burst into tears, "I'm sorry Xi Xi, it was Xia Ruotang who came to me before and said that the company had plans to lay off employees, and I In the list, she promised me that as long as she was selected for Mr. Lu Qing’s painting exhibition and got promoted, she would transfer me to her group, and she would try her best to ensure that I would not be fired. I really wanted to keep her. This job, so I was obsessed with it and agreed to her conditions."

Yan Xi's eyes darkened and she smiled silently, "If there are layoffs in the company, why is she the only one who knows about it? Do you believe whatever she says?"

Fu Ran hurriedly walked to Yan Xi, regardless of the burn on his hand, he raised his hand and took her arm, crying and apologizing to her, "Xixi, I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong."

Yan Xi really didn't want to see her crying and apologizing, so she turned around and stopped looking at her with a heavy heart, as if her heart was suffocated by a heavy stone.

After taking a few breaths, trying to calm down, he said sharply, "Then have you ever considered that theft is a taboo in the illustration industry, once you do it, it will be difficult to have a place in the illustration industry in the future."

Fu Ran nodded, tears fell to the ground one by one following her nodding.

"I didn't think much about it at the time. I just wanted to keep my job."

She raised her eyes to look at Yan Xi and took her arm again, "Xixi, I really know I was wrong. Can you please beg me in front of the boss? I really can't lose this job."

Yan Xi asked her with indifferent eyes, "Then what reason do you think I used to plead for you?"

Fu Ran said anxiously, "Isn't the boss your boyfriend? With this relationship, the boss will definitely agree to what you say."

After finishing speaking, Yan Xi frowned, with a trace of sadness in his eyebrows, "So, do you also think that I relied on connections to gain a foothold in the company?"

Fu Ran was stunned for a moment, realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly changed her words, "No, I just think that if you intercede, the boss will definitely forgive me."

This explanation doesn't seem to be much better.

Due to her previous relationship with Fu Ran, she didn't say anything to let all colleagues in the company know that this matter was the last forgiveness for her.

She withdrew her gaze from Fu Ran and said in a calm tone, "My boss and I have always kept a clear distinction between business and private affairs. If you do something wrong, you will have to bear the corresponding price. If you don't make it known to everyone, it will be your last resort." Meet."

She took two steps and paused again, speaking softly to her, "For your future, I hope you will never do such a thing again."

After saying that, she raised her hand and walked out of the tea room.

Fu Ran collapsed and sat on the chair. The meaning of Yan Xi's words was clear. The company would not fire her, but her behavior had no place in the company and she had no choice but to leave.
