Six Years Later: Wrecking His World with Quadruplets - Chapter 197

Chapter 197

Di Shijing’s expression was icy.

He was furious that his mother had acted on her own, disregarding him completely to cause such a scene at the company… But above all, he was incensed that she had pushed Nan Zhiyi into this corner!

By now, he understood everything. From the missing formula to the police arriving at the door, this was almost certainly a farce directed and performed by his mother!

Di Shijing gave his mother a cold look before stepping past her toward the police. “The matter regarding the Di Corporation formula is a misunderstanding,” he said. “Nan Zhiyi is not the person who sold the company’s formula. You may leave.”

The police officers were stunned by his words and instinctively glanced at Song Liqin.

Having gone to such lengths, how could Song Liqin possibly let it go now?

Hearing Di Shijing’s words, she immediately lost her composure.

“You’re still protecting her! If it wasn’t her, then who else could it be?”

She raised her voice in a sharp interrogation, her tone thick with resentment. She felt that the son she had raised for so many years only knew how to defend Nan Zhiyi.

Filled with indignation, she turned to look at Sheng Shiyu and the other woman.

She looked at Annie. “You must be Aletta, then? I heard that Nan Zhiyi is your assistant. I asked you two here today mainly to ask-is the salary your company pays its assistants some astronomical figure?”

Annie didn’t immediately grasp Song Liqin’s implication.

She pursed her lips and stood her ground without responding, her mind racing: In this situation, should I keep pretending to be Aletta?

Her eyes drifted toward Nan Zhiyi and Sheng Shiyu of their own accord…

Upon hearing those words, everyone’s attention shifted to Annie.

Among them, the members of Research Lab 2 were particularly excited.

This person was actually the legendary Aletta?

Di Shijing also glanced at Annie.

His initial reason for partnering with ZELING was because of Aletta. However, Aletta was elusive; even after the two companies had collaborated for so long, it was rare to even catch a glimpse of her.

Yet, this ‘Aletta’ remained silent.

Instead, it was Sheng Shiyu beside her whose expression soured. She snapped at Song Liqin, “What? Do you have some kind of objection to the salary our company pays its employees?”

Song Liqin replied, “I have no objection to that. I simply want to ask if your company has ever had a formula stolen. Otherwise, how could a mere assistant have a net worth of billions? Who would believe that?”

She let out a mocking laugh, her gaze fixed on Nan Zhiyi with blatant hostility.

Sheng Shiyu understood now. She stepped in front of Nan Zhiyi and sneered, “So, what you’re saying is that my Zhizhi only has money because she stole formulas to sell?”

Song Liqin said with absolute certainty, “What else could it be!”

Sheng Shiyu acted as if she had heard a hilarious joke and mocked her ruthlessly. “Madam Di, did you get your head caught in a door when you left the house today? How else could you say something so stupid?”

“By your logic, no assistant or low-level employee deserves to have money? And if they do, they must have stolen or robbed someone for it?”

Annie couldn’t help but let out a snort of laughter when she heard Sheng Shiyu’s scolding.

Nan Zhiyi didn’t react, but she knew Sheng Shiyu was actually being restrained by not saying Song Liqin’s head had been kicked by a donkey.

Song Liqin’s face turned unsightly. She clearly hadn’t expected this reaction from Sheng Shiyu.

She grit her teeth in anger. “I didn’t say everyone else stole or robbed!”
Sheng Shiyu refused to let the matter drop. Instead, she demanded an answer. “Then what right do you have to say my Zhizhi stole it?”

Her gaze, cold as shards of ice, fell directly on Song Liqin. “Madam Di, I know you find my Zhizhi an eyesore, but let me tell you something: it’s impossible for you to frame her today! I won’t allow it!”

Perhaps it was because Sheng Shiyu’s protective stance was so aggressive that the onlookers’ eyes widened in shock.

The big boss of ZELING actually dared to be so confrontational!

Song Liqin hadn’t expected the owner of a small company like ZELING to dare humiliate her in front of so many people. Her eyes burned with fury as she looked at Sheng Shiyu.

Gritting her teeth, she asked angrily, “So, Miss Sheng, you’re determined to protect this little assistant, are you?”

“Have you considered that if word gets out about someone with such a lack of professional ethics, it will affect your company’s perfume sales? What about the reputation you’ve worked so hard to build?”

Song Liqin escalated the matter to the level of corporate interests.

She assumed Sheng Shiyu would back down and stop offending her for the sake of Nan Zhiyi.

Instead, Sheng Shiyu couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Her reaction caused Song Liqin to flush with shame and rage. The refined composure she had maintained for years was on the verge of snapping.

“What are you laughing at?” Song Liqin snapped irritably.

Once Sheng Shiyu had finished laughing, she straightened her expression and replied, “Nothing. I’m just laughing at how foolish you are to actually say something like that! Madam Di, perhaps you didn’t know, but ZELING’s reputation and prestige were built entirely because of Zhizhi…”

At this point, her expression darkened as she cut straight to the heart of the matter. “I see what’s going on now. Madam Di, this ‘inside job’ act of yours is quite impressive! You sold the Di Corporation’s formula yourself, and then turned around to frame my Zhizhi, using her savings as ‘evidence.'”

“You want to make it impossible for her to stay in the capital, but let me tell you today-you’ve miscalculated! My Zhizhi is so talented that she has absolutely no need to steal some ‘formula.’ She wouldn’t deign to do it! Do you understand? Because… no matter how many formulas she needs, she can think of them herself! She can create them herself!”

Sheng Shiyu’s voice was powerful, each word carrying immense weight.

Everyone present was intimidated by her aura and held their breath. A heavy silence fell over the laboratory.

After several seconds, Song Liqin snapped out of it. As if she had just heard a joke, she pointed at Nan Zhiyi with a face full of disdain. “With just her?”

Sheng Shiyu nodded. “That’s right. With just her!”

She turned to Nan Zhiyi and said, “Zhizhi, since things have come to this, let’s stop hiding it, okay? There are always people in this world who love to stick their faces out just to be stepped on… We shouldn’t miss such a great opportunity!”

Nan Zhiyi had a good idea of what her best friend was about to say.

She hadn’t intended to keep it a secret indefinitely anyway. Therefore, she quickly agreed. “Go ahead.”

With no more reservations, Sheng Shiyu’s lips curled into a smirk. Her bright, striking face was filled with contempt for Song Liqin.

She raised her voice, speaking slowly and clearly. “Madam Di, come. To prevent you from being too ignorant, let me re-introduce my Zhizhi’s true identity to you… My Zhizhi’s full name is Nan Zhiyi. She is one of the owners of ZELING! She is a rising top Perfumer in the world-class Perfume Association! She is also the renowned Miracle Doctor! And she has an English name that many people know… Aletta!”
