Looking at Qiu Yingying, who was so innocent and naive, Fan Shengmei wondered why she was so infatuated with Manager Bai. If he really wanted to do something tonight, would Qiu Yingying know how to refuse?

I was still a little worried.

"Xiao Qiu, don't rush off yet. Let me tell you something that just happened at our company."

Qiu Yingying was taken aback for a moment, but as long as it wasn't a relationship issue, she was still a very cute and sensible person.

"Sister Fan, what's wrong?"

Fan Shengmei sighed and said, "These past two days, a girl in our company has been threatening to die and even jumped off a building. Guess why?"

Qiu Yingying's curiosity was indeed piqued.

"Sister Fan, why?!"

Fan Shengmei put on a serious expression, sighed, and said, "Why? Because of men!"

"She got together with one of our company's engineers and got pregnant by accident, but he doesn't acknowledge it at all."

"I was forced into a corner, so I resigned and left. You can't even find me anymore."

"My colleague is pregnant now, and she's devastated. She's been wronged terribly. Just a couple of days ago, she even asked me to go to the hospital with her to get an abortion."

"What a wonderful girl. Because she didn't know how to say no, she was taken advantage of and dumped by a man, ending up like this. Isn't that tragic?"

Qiu Yingying said angrily, "That man is so bad, how can there be such a person?"

Fan Shengmei said, "So, Yingying, you must remember this lesson: before you truly understand a man, never let him touch you easily, or you'll only get hurt."

Qiu Yingying blushed immediately and said, "Sister Fan, what are you saying? I wouldn't do that!"

"Besides, Manager Bai is a good person, he's been so good to me, and we're truly in love. He would never do such a thing!"

"Don't worry, Sister Fan, I'll be going now."

"Bye-bye!" she said hurriedly and left, still having arranged to take the subway with Manager Bai.

Fan Shengmei watched Qiu Yingying walk away and shook her head helplessly. She wondered if the other party had listened to what she had just said.

But that's all we can do. After all, they're not our parents, and no one can care for another person indefinitely.

……

Qiu Yingying cheered up soon after leaving home. Manager Bai was waiting for her at a nearby intersection. Not only was he waiting for her, but he also brought her a box of eight donuts for breakfast and a heartfelt hug. Qiu Yingying was absolutely ecstatic.

Li Mu was probably the first person, besides Qiu Yingying, to see Manager Bai in person among the neighbors in Ode to Joy.

In the morning, as he drove to the company, he saw Qiu Yingying walking towards the subway station with a young man in an ambiguous manner at a traffic light.

The man was fair-skinned and wore glasses. Who else could it be but Manager Bai?

Considering the results of the investigation over there, the amount that could be found was 65,000, which already meets the threshold for criminal prosecution.

Manager Bai is quite something. Using his limited power as the finance manager, he has managed to siphon off a significant amount of money from the company over several years through methods such as issuing false invoices and reimbursing expenses. He's a real talent.

Sigh...what a pity.

Chapter 133 Qiu Yingying's Heartbreak

In the evening, Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer returned to their residence after get off work and did not see Qiu Yingying, knowing that she had gone on a date.

Fan Shengmei sighed and said, "Yingying usually seems quite clever, how come she becomes so silly when she's in love?"

"Especially when I hear about Manager Bai, my mind goes blank. It's fine if they go on a date, but I'm worried that Yingying will listen to everything he says. A few sweet words and she'll be all confused. She might end up suffering a big loss."

Guan Juer was much more rational than Qiu Yingying. The two of them usually had a good relationship. When she heard Fan Shengmei say this, she also became a little worried when she thought about Yingying's infatuated behavior with Manager Bai these past few days.

"Sister Fan, Yingying isn't that stupid, is she? They've only been together for a few days!"

Fan Shengmei sighed and said, "That's hard to say. Look at how Yingying talks about Manager Bai, she's completely out of her mind! He sold her out and is still helping him count the money!"

"Now we can only hope that Manager Bai is really as good as Yingying said, otherwise she'll suffer in the future."

Guan Juer said with some concern, "Sister Fan, what should we do? Should we call and remind Yingying?"

Fan Shengmei smiled and said, "You know how Xiao Qiu has been these past two days. She gets angry with anyone who dares to say a bad word about Manager Bai. Do you think she'll listen when we call her?"

"Maybe he'll get rebellious and get swayed by Manager Bai, turn off his phone, and not come back tonight. Wouldn't that be even worse?"

Guan Juer was immediately deflated. Knowing Qiu Yingying as she did, she realized it was indeed possible, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

They were worried about Qiu Yingying when suddenly the door opened and Qiu Yingying ran in with red eyes.

The two were taken aback. Weren't they supposed to be on a date after get off work? Why was he back so soon, and he looked like he'd been crying?

Guan Juer went over to her first and asked with concern, "Yingying, what's wrong? Aren't you supposed to be on a date with Manager Bai tonight?"

Qiu Yingying seemed not to hear, blankly ignoring Guan Juer, and went all the way back to her room, where she lay on the bed and began to sob.

Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer exchanged a glance, their hearts tightening. Qiu Yingying was so heartbroken; had something happened?

But I just got off work a little while ago, and the date has only just begun. What could possibly go wrong?

Where's Manager Bai?

Why did you let Yingying come back alone, and why is she crying so sadly?

Fan Shengmei went directly to Qiu Yingying's room and gently asked, "Yingying, what's wrong? Didn't you say you were going on a date with Manager Bai after get off work? Why did you come back crying all by yourself?"

Qiu Yingying was still sobbing there, as if she hadn't heard her.

Fan Shengmei's heart tightened: "Yingying, did Manager Bai bully you? Tell Sister Fan that anyone who dares to mess with Yingying will definitely not get away with it."

This time, Qiu Yingying finally raised her head, threw herself into Fan Shengmei's arms, and sobbed, "Sister Fan, Manager Bai... Manager Bai..."

After all that talk, there's only the first part and no second part.

Fan Shengmei panicked and patted Qiu Yingying to comfort her, "Yingying, what's wrong? Weren't you supposed to be on a date with Manager Bai? Did Manager Bai play a trick on you and not show up?"

Qiu Yingying shook her head: "No, Sister Fan, Manager Bai... Manager Bai..." She stammered, leaving only half of her sentence unsaid.

Fan Shengmei also became anxious.

"Xiao Qiu, say something! What happened to Manager Bai? If he dares to bully you, Sister Fan will teach him a lesson."

After hesitating for a long time, Qiu Yingying finally managed to finish the second half of her sentence.

"Manager Bai...Manager Bai has been arrested by the police."

With a loud "Wah!", she threw herself into Fan Shengmei's arms and started crying sadly again.

Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer exchanged a glance, both shocked. Manager Bai had been arrested by the police, something they never imagined.

Why would a perfectly normal person be arrested by the police?

Both of them looked at Qiu Yingying at the same time. Fan Shengmei comforted her for a few words and then asked again, "Yingying, what exactly happened? Why was Manager Bai arrested? The police wouldn't arrest someone for no reason, would they?"

Qiu Yingying, with tears welling up in her eyes, sobbed a few times before saying, "I don't know either. I heard from my colleagues that it seems to be something like embezzlement, using false invoices and reimbursement of entertainment expenses to embezzle company property."

"Sister Fan, you don't know, this afternoon, I was discussing with Manager Bai where to go on a date! Suddenly, several policemen came to the company, went up and handcuffed Manager Bai. I was so scared that I watched them take Manager Bai away, I didn't even know what was going on."

"After the police left, I heard my colleagues talking about how Manager Bai had embezzled company property and broken the law."

"Sister Fan, how could Manager Bai, such a good person, break the law? Could they be framing him?"

Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer were also confused. Just a moment ago, they were discussing Manager Bai and worrying about Qiu Yingying. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they received the news that Manager Bai had been arrested.

Life is truly unpredictable!

“Yingying, since the police arrested him, they must have evidence. I think you, Manager Bai, have most likely broken the law, which is why the police arrested you.”

Qiu Yingying was still unwilling to accept it: "Why? Manager Bai is such a good person, how could he break the law!"

Fan Shengmei said, "Xiao Qiu, you can know a person's face but not their heart. You've only known Manager Bai for a few days, how do you know he's a good person?"

Qiu Yingying sobbed, "Manager Bai is so good to me, he takes good care of me, buys me food, and even accompanies me on the subway. Of course he's a good person."

"I just agreed to be his girlfriend, and we were supposed to go on a date tonight! And then he got arrested?"

"Sister Fan, what should I do?!"

Fan Shengmei quickly comforted Qiu Yingying: "Yingying, don't cry. This has nothing to do with you. Eat well, sleep well, go back to work, and forget about this."

Qiu Yingying sobbed, "Sister Fan, but Manager Bai has been arrested. He's my boyfriend. I feel terrible whenever I think about it. I can't forget him at all. What am I going to do?"

"Sister Fan, do you think I'm just too unlucky? I've never been in a relationship before! I just started dating someone and he got arrested. I'm so confused right now."

Fan Shengmei comforted her, "Yingying, don't think like that, and don't be sad. Manager Bai being arrested should be a good thing for you."

Qiu Yingying became anxious upon hearing this.

"Sister Fan, how could you say that! My boyfriend was arrested, I'm heartbroken, and you're still saying this? You're all bullying me."

Fan Shengmei didn't hold it against her.

"Xiao Qiu, don't get stuck on this. Sister Fan isn't just talking nonsense."

"Think about it, Xiao Qiu. You've only just started dating, you've only just confirmed your relationship, your feelings aren't that deep yet, and you haven't invested much energy in it. He hasn't taken advantage of you either. Isn't it a good thing that you've seen his true colors now?"

"Let's not even talk about Manager Bai's character. He did something illegal, so he can't escape punishment; it's just a matter of time!"

“If this matter is discovered later, by then you and Manager Bai will have developed a deeper relationship, invested more energy, and he may have already taken advantage of you. Then he will suddenly be caught and taken away by the police.”

"Tell me, won't you be even worse off then? How heartbroken will you be!"

"You two have just started dating, your feelings aren't deep, and you're not deeply invested. Revealing the truth about him early on allows you to see him for who he really is. Isn't that a good thing, avoiding future risks?"
