C25 A Powerful Counterattack

Ning Qiansi's smile made Ning Qiaoyun feel uncertain.

"What are you laughing at?"

Ning Qiansi looked at Ning Qiaoyun who was pretending to be calm and sighed, "Ning Qiaoyun, you are really too smart for your own good."

"What do you mean?" Ning Qiaoyun could not help but tremble. She could not read Ning Qiansi's mind at all.

"Actually, I didn't even ask the security department to investigate the surveillance video. How did you expose yourself so quickly?"

"Qiaoyun, what's going on?" Director Zhao, who was sitting at the side, also came to his senses and could not help but ask Ning Qiaoyun.

"No, it's nothing. It's just a misunderstanding." Ning Qiaoyun's face turned slightly pale. She calmed herself down and looked up at Ning Qiansi, "This is an internal matter of our Ning's. Don't make a fool of yourself in front of Director Zhao."

Ning Qiansi did not want to let Ning Qiaoyun go so easily, but if Director Zhao continued to stay in her office, there would be irreversible consequences.

It was not a big deal to deal with Ning Qiaoyun, but it would be a little troublesome if the cooperation with Director Zhao was spoiled.

"Director Zhao, let's discuss how to solve the internal problems of the company. Please excuse us for a moment." Ning Qiansi smiled at Director Zhao and said.

Director Zhao was dazzled by her smile. He nodded subconsciously and was led by the secretary to the reception room outside the office.

When only Ning Qiansi and Ning Qiaoyun were left in the office, Ning Qiansi finally stopped smiling and looked at Ning Qiaoyun with disdain.

"Ning Qiaoyun, you're really willing to go all out. Even the cooperation that you've worked so hard for can be ruined."

Ning Qiansi's tone was filled with ridicule, causing Ning Qiaoyun's expression to instantly turn extremely ugly.

"Ning Qiansi, don't slander me!"

"How can you accuse someone who has evidence?" With a smile on her face, Ning Qiansi slowly broke down Ning Qiaoyun's mental defenses.

"Oh, is that so? Why don't you take out all the evidence you have?" Ning Qiaoyun would not be taken away by Ning Qiansi so easily. She thought that she had done this flawlessly, and Ning Qiansi could not produce any strong evidence at all.

Ning Qiansi smiled and took out the backup contract, throwing it in front of Ning Qiaoyun.

"Take a closer look. Is this the contract you gave me this morning?"

Ning Qiaoyun was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head to take a closer look and her arrogant attitude from earlier was instantly reduced by half.

"You, what's going on?" She asked Ning Qiansi without much confidence, "The contract is such an important thing. How can you just keep a copy for yourself?"

Ning Qiansi did not give her any room to make a false accusation. She immediately retorted, "The contract is such an important thing. How can I not keep a copy?"

Ning Qiaoyun was rendered speechless by her words. Just as she was about to continue arguing, Ning Qiansi continued, "The contract I signed is completely different from the one you signed for Director Zhao. I'm sure you won't be responsible for such an important matter. Ning Qiaoyun, if you don't give me an explanation today, then I will pursue this matter to the end."

Unexpectedly, Ning Qiaoyun calmed down after hearing Ning Qiansi's words.

She looked at Ning Qiansi and said with a smile, "Manager Ning, you said that the contract you signed was different from the one you signed for Director Zhao. It's really hard to convince people with just the backup and one side of the story you have."

As she spoke, Ning Qiaoyun looked at Ning Qiansi with pity and continued, "Stop struggling. Is it hard to admit that you screwed up this cooperation?"

Ning Qiansi sighed slightly, thinking that Ning Qiaoyun had asked for it.

At this moment, the secretary walked in again.

"Manager, I'm free today, so the results of the appraisal agency came out earlier."

Ning Qiaoyun was shocked when she heard the secretary's words.

"Call Director Zhao in," Ning Qiansi ordered.

"Yes." The secretary turned around and left again. Not long after, Director Zhao walked in.

"I heard that the appraisal results are out?" he asked Ning Qiansi.

"Yes, Director Zhao. The results have just come out, and they're about to send the report over. Just wait a moment," Ning Qiansi said slowly.

Ning Qiaoyun, on the other hand, was flustered. "What appraisal report? Ning Qiansi, what did you do?"

Ning Qiansi saw that Ning Qiaoyun had lost her composure and explained with a smile, "I forgot to tell you that the signing of the contract is of great importance. Both Director Zhao and I feel that we need to go through the professional judgment of the appraisal agency. Otherwise, not to mention the Ning's, even Director Zhao would not be able to afford such a huge misunderstanding and loss."

"That's right. Manager Ning said that the signature wasn't hers, so it's reasonable for us to do a handwriting test," Director Zhao agreed.

Ning Qiaoyun gritted her teeth so hard that they almost broke. She forced a smile and said, "What's the result?"

Ning Qiansi ignored her. She walked to the fax machine, sorted out the report, and handed it to Director Zhao.

"Director Zhao, now my grievances have been cleared, right?" Ning Qiansi raised her eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Director Zhao laughed, then pretended to be angry and scolded, "But Manager Ning, you still neglected your duty this time. You actually made such a big mistake in the cooperation."

Ning Qiansi nodded and quickly said, "This is indeed my fault. I will quickly find out who did this and punish them severely. As for our cooperation, Director Zhao, don't worry. I will immediately draft a new contract and personally pass it to you."

Director Zhao left in satisfaction after hearing Ning Qiansi's words.

Ning Qiaoyun's face turned pale as she knew that she had lost.

"Ning Qiaoyun, give me an explanation for this matter." Ning Qiansi looked at her coldly and threw the report in her face.

"Maybe there's something wrong with one of my people. I'll go and investigate right away," Ning Qiaoyun pretended to be calm and said, "When I find out, I'll give you an explanation."

Ning Qiansi smiled and said, "Why waste so much time and effort? Why don't I take this fake signature and all the handwriting of the project department members and do an appraisal?"

Ning Qiaoyun pinched her palm and said, "It's reasonable for Manager Ning to want to do this. It's just that this matter is not honorable. Why do you want to make such a big fuss and disappoint the project department?"

Ning Qiansi's gaze turned cold as she looked at Ning Qiaoyun. Ning Qiaoyun's words had indeed hit the nail on the head.

She already knew that it was Ning Qiaoyun who had deliberately tried to harm her, and that she was willing to sacrifice the interests of the entire Ning's in order to do so.

But while Ning Qiaoyun could disregard the life and death of the Ning's, she, Ning Qiansi, could not. This was Old Master Ning's life's work. If he really made a big fuss and everyone checked it out, even if he had the evidence to overthrow Ning Qiaoyun, it would shake the loyalty of the employees.
