CHAPTER 1588: CHAPTER 1588: PUSH HER DOWN THE STAIRS (4)

Today isn’t April Fool’s Day, Ye Qilan wouldn’t be joking, right?

"I wouldn’t joke about this kind of thing. Assistant Luo, you’re quite capable at work, keep it up." After speaking, Ye Qilan went into the office, feeling particularly motivated at work.

The news of Assistant Luo’s salary raise quickly spread throughout the department. Everyone was asking him for tips on how to get a raise, but Assistant Luo obviously didn’t want to tell the truth.

He understood that the reason he got a raise was because he said what Ye Qilan wanted to hear. Ye Qilan cared about Su Hongxing, and anyone who said Su Hongxing loved him to death would certainly get a raise.

So, this secret could never be shared. It was his secret strategy for getting promoted and making money. Who knows, maybe every month he could say a few good things about Su Hongxing to Ye Qilan and get a raise every month...

After Su Hongxing left Jufeng Group, she returned to work at Ace Design.

Qiao Qiao was waiting for her. Seeing her return, she asked, "Why were you gone for so long? Xiao Ji didn’t do anything to you, did he?"

"Don’t worry, I’m fine. Have you eaten?" Su Hongxing asked back.

Qiao Qiao’s brows furrowed: "Why did Xiao Ji look for you? Did he threaten you because of me again?"

"Are you silly? You burned the evidence yourself. What can he use to threaten me with? I grew up with him, so I know his character. I’m so fierce, do you think he can threaten me?" Seeing Qiao Qiao like this, Su Hongxing knew she hadn’t had lunch yet.

She ordered takeout for Qiao Qiao, then went to find Little Pudding, only to discover the little guy was full from snacks.

"You little kid, don’t you get stuffed eating so many snacks every day?" Su Hongxing washed the oil off Little Pudding’s hands.

Little Pudding smiled and replied, "Mom, I haven’t eaten yet. I can still eat two big bowls of rice. I’ll grow tall and big, and then I can protect you."

Listening to her child’s heartfelt words made Su Hongxing feel both pleased and happy.

That afternoon, Ye Qilan withdrew the lawsuit.

Du Qingyu had already prepared for a jail sentence because she knew that Ye Qilan was ruthless and wouldn’t let her go.

When Xiao Ji came to pick her up from jail and told her that Ye Qilan withdrew the lawsuit, she couldn’t believe it was true: "Are you sure Ye Qilan withdrew the lawsuit?"

"I managed to get him to withdraw it. You’re my partner, and I’ve promised to protect you, so I will. But in the future, you can’t be so impulsive, or even I won’t be able to save you." Xiao Ji said calmly, "Come on, there’s no need to stay in this hellhole any longer!"

Du Qingyu felt as if she had just woken up from a dream. She closely followed behind Xiao Ji, asking, "How could Ye Qilan possibly withdraw the lawsuit? What method did you use?"

It was unbelievable that she could find a way out in Ye Qilan’s hands.

"I have my own methods. As for the specifics, there’s no need for you to know." Xiao Ji was unwilling to say more. It was a matter between him and Su Hongxing, and he didn’t want outsiders to know.

Du Qingyu still had potential value, so if she could be saved, why wouldn’t he lend a hand? This way, Du Qingyu would only be more devoted and obedient to him in the future.

"Xiao Ji, thank you. Without you, I’d probably spend the rest of my life in prison." Du Qingyu thanked him sincerely.

"No need for thanks between us. We are partners. Just work hard to repay me in the future. By the way, while you were detained, Beichuan was having a hard time. The Northern Group’s stock only got off the limit down today, and it was Ye Qilan who had Beichuan in a bind." Xiao Ji roughly explained the situation.
