After hearing Zhan Kaiyang's words, Zhan Nan looked at him with confusion.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?"
Zhan Bei looked at the staff kneeling on the ground with great dissatisfaction, cursed "coward" angrily, and didn't want to talk anymore.
Zhan Kaiyang sneered and turned around to fight south and north.
"Xiaonan Xiaobei, I'm afraid this matter won't happen. This staff member was arranged by Zhan Yuanshan! He lied to me before that Qiao Jing was Professor Qiao. In order to make me believe it, he made such a play.
, wants me to believe his words and not let me do anything to Qiao Jing again."
How could he not know what Zhan Yuanshan was thinking? It was just to give him the illusion that Qiao Jing was really Professor Qiao, which made him afraid to take action!
If he hadn't suddenly remembered such a thing, he might have been deceived, but... he never expected that his brother would protect Qiao Jing so much, and even go to such trouble to let people put on such a play.
When Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei heard this, they were immediately stunned.
Zhan Bei asked a little unconvinced:
"Grandpa, what should we do now? Is this the end of it?"
Zhan Yuanshan nodded and glanced in Qiao Jing's direction.
"That's all we can do now, let's go back first. But grandpa promises you that he won't let Qiao Jing go so easily. I will look for another opportunity!"
If they don't go back now, things may become very troublesome next time.
Now that this staff member has been used as a scapegoat, there is no need for them to stay any longer and they can only look for another opportunity.
Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei's faces were filled with unwillingness. They glared at Qiao Jing fiercely and clenched their fists tightly.
Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but next time, we must not let Qiao Jing go!"
Zhan Nan cursed angrily and left with Zhan Kaiyang.
He was beaten so severely last time that his wrists were dislocated and his legs were beaten so hard that he could no longer walk. He experienced the life of a disabled person.
If he was asked to just let Qiao Jing go, he would definitely not be willing to do so!
Their departure did not attract anyone else's attention, because everyone's attention was now focused on the staff member.
Xu Hongzu's old face turned red with anger, he pointed at the staff's nose and cursed angrily:
"What do you mean, Sir? Who is it? At this time, you are still protecting them? I think you are really brave. You dare to steal such important information from the institute!"
After finishing these words, Xu Hongzu paused and took a few deep breaths before continuing:
"I remember that you have been working at the research institute for a while. What do you mean by suddenly doing this now? You should immediately reveal the person who asked you to do this!"
The staff was so scolded by Xu Hongzu that they did not dare to speak at all and could only kneel on the ground with their heads lowered.
He hesitated and said:
"I...Professor Xu, I didn't want to steal it. It was just that the person told me that he wanted to frame someone and needed information. He didn't know how to open the information or hide it, so I agreed to him..."
If it is not necessary, he still dare not say Zhan Kaiyang's name, otherwise he will not only lose his job, but also a huge amount of compensation.
He thought he was really just framing an ordinary employee. In that case, he could continue to work and get remuneration, but he didn't expect that the so-called ordinary employee turned out to be Professor Qiao!
Xu Hongzu angrily slapped his palm on the table, making a "bang!" sound.
"You still refuse to reveal that person?!"
The staff was so frightened that they trembled and still spoke hesitantly.
"I...Professor Xu...is──"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qiao Jing.
"No need to say it, I know who it is."
After hearing these words, the staff member who was kneeling on the ground stopped shaking and looked up at Qiao Jing, who was condescending.
When he met Qiao Jing's scrutinizing eyes, he felt the voice from the bottom of his heart, constantly urging him to tell the truth.
When he faced Qiao Jing and Xu Hongzu, he had two different feelings. The former gave him a sense of awe from the bottom of his heart. Just one look at them made him want to tell all the truth.
The staff gritted their teeth and finally decided to tell the whole story and said:
"Yes──"
Qiao Jing ignored the staff, but stood up directly and glanced at the staff present.
"Everyone, please sit down and eat. It's okay."
After hearing Qiao Jing's words, the other staff members breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again, and started eating.
Qiao Jing sat back on the chair, folding her arms with both hands. Her face was indifferent without any unnecessary expression, making it impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.
"How much did Zhan Kaiyang give you? So that you don't even want to work in the research institute?"
If she were this staff member, she would not hesitate to choose a stable job in the institute.
After hearing Qiao Jing accurately say the name of the mastermind behind the scenes, the staff members immediately widened their eyes and looked at each other in disbelief.
"You...how did you know?"
After saying this, he lowered his head in self-reproach.
"I thought he really just wanted to frame an ordinary employee, so I stole it directly for him. Because... he gave me half a million, and if the matter was completed, he would give me the other half. I didn't expect
Things will come out, and if they don't come out, I'll get both."
After listening to the staff's explanation, Qiao Jing's eyes darkened and he said with a bleak expression:
"There are not so many best-of-both-worlds things in the world. Go and settle your salary for this month and leave the institute."
The staff knew that this matter was entirely his problem. After being executed, he did not dare to say anything more and stood up in a rolling state.
He slapped himself hard and quickly left the banquet.
After finishing this matter, Qiao Jing picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
Zhan Nanqing didn't even bother to eat, she walked directly to Qiao Jing and muttered:
"I knew that Second Grandpa and the others had no good intentions when they came here. They were indeed responsible for this! I will tell Grandpa and the others when I get back!"
Qiao Jing glanced at Zhan Nanqing and frowned slightly.
"You can go back to eat. You don't need to tell them about this."
Originally, Zhan Qi Pei and the others were already at loggerheads with Zhan Kaiyang's family. If this incident were added to the situation, it would undoubtedly make matters worse.
Although these things are indeed Zhan Kaiyang's problem, she doesn't want the relationship between Zhan Kaiyang and his family to become more tense because of her.
After all, she was not sure whether she would stay in the Zhan family in the future. If she left by then, it would be bad if the relationship between the two families was still so tense.
