Night Rose

The president glanced at the two trembling, guilty-looking people, quickly made a decision, and nodded to the person in charge.

The person in charge understood and immediately drafted a dismissal notice and a clarification of the facts on the computer, which was then handed to the president for review.

The president rubbed his forehead and pushed the computer towards Su Jin. "Su, your compensation remains the same, and they will handle it. This matter ends here. I don't want any more complications."

Su Jin glanced at the report. It was cold, rigorous, and unapproachable. It removed Su Jin's racing car and Li Qi's technical issues from the car accident and pointed out the problems of dismissing Lu Mingzhou for protecting employees and the mistakes of intern Xu Jingyi.

Top Chain didn't want the scandal of its employees deliberately replacing parts to get out, so they attributed it to Xu Jingyi's mistake, which at least sounded better.

The price was compensation for Su Jin and Li Qi, which was essentially hush money.

Su Jin is satisfied with this result.

"The announcement will be posted on the official website for a week and will be circulated to various media outlets."

The person in charge maintained a smile and said, "Of course."

Su Jin pushed Li Qi out of the Top Chain Building. The dazzling sunlight shone on their faces, causing people to squint slightly.

"Thank you, Su Jin." Li Qi exhaled a breath of stale air, the knot in his heart easing.

After waking up from the car accident, he remained in low spirits. Besides the effects of his illness, he was also constantly thinking about how to go on with his life.

Returning to the racing industry is extremely difficult, and even my mother might not agree to my comeback. This car accident has had a huge psychological impact on my mother; she is terrified of losing herself.

Li Qi had to consider his mother's situation, but he really had no other means of making a living.

Aside from medical expenses, TopChain has not discussed any other forms of compensation with him.

After today's experience, Li Qi believed that the terms Su Jin negotiated for him were much better than what Dinglian had originally planned.

"Why thank me? If it weren't for me, you might not have ended up like this and could still be racing cars," Su Jin sighed.

Li Qi laughed, a hint of emotion finally appearing on his sickly face. "Don't say that. It's all their fault. Why are we arguing about right and wrong?"

"Su Jin!"

Lu Mingzhou's voice boomed.

Su Jin's face darkened. She turned around, pushing her wheelchair, and met the eyes of the furious Lu Mingzhou.

"Is there anything else, Manager Lu and Miss Xu?"

"Are you determined to make it impossible for me to stay at Top Chain? Are you getting revenge on me? Are you angry that I didn't care about you last time?" Lu Mingzhou roared madly.

Su Jin gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "I am indeed very vengeful, but you misunderstood. I'm not angry anymore. I'm just returning the pain you two inflicted on me."

"Miss Su, if you do this, Brother Lu and I won't be able to stay in New York anymore." Xu Jingyi cried, her face streaked with tears, looking utterly pitiful.

Su Jin scoffed and looked at her in surprise, "Did you even care whether I could still make a living in New York three months ago? Whatever you're going to go through next, just bear with it."

"Su Jin!" Lu Mingzhou shouted, trying to grab her.

The lawyer came out of the building with the documents and quickly blocked Su Jin's way. "Mr. Lu, please move aside."

Lu Mingzhou's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, a strangely vibrant shade of black.

He clenched his fists, stiffly stepped aside, and let them leave.

Xu Jingyi grabbed his arm, crying, "Brother, Sister Su is really too much! How could she disregard your feelings for each other?"

Lu Mingzhou's thought process was different. He slowly shook his head. "No, she's just being stubborn. She's still angry with me, that's why she's treating me like this."

Xu Jingyi was stunned. She wanted to ask this man if he had lost his mind, but the words that came out were replaced by a coquettish tone, "But my sister made us lose our jobs, what are we going to do?"

"It's okay, we'll leave New York. My uncle has influence at the top chain branch, so we can still have work when we go back." Lu Mingzhou patted her head.

"Really?" Xu Jingyi looked up at him in surprise, her eyes filled with admiration.

Lu Mingzhou's vanity was satisfied, and he nodded, "Topchain's domestic branch is going to hold a rally, but it has been lacking core personnel. I can take you to places that Su Jin can't get into."

Xu Jingyi happily threw herself into his arms, hugging him and acting coquettishly, "Brother, you're so good to me! Sister Su doesn't know how to cherish you, don't be sad, I'm here with you."

Lu Mingzhou's chest heaved as he suppressed the rage in his heart.

Su Jin, if you don't appreciate it, someone else will understand how good I am!

"Sherry, are you satisfied with their handling of the situation?" Li Qi asked with difficulty, sitting in the car.

Su Jin shook her head, propped her head up, and looked out the window. "Lu Mingzhou was able to stay in that position by stepping on me because his family had connections in the domestic branch, so they wouldn't easily touch him. This time, the New York headquarters was really angry, which is why they agreed to fire them, but he definitely has a backup plan."

"Domestic, branch?" Li Qi tilted his head.

Su Jin smiled at him, "You were selected from headquarters, so you probably don't know about the domestic branch, right? The branch has a rally competition in China this year, and they were originally going to transfer Lu Mingzhou back to China, but I negotiated with the company and kept him. Looking back now, I was really stupid; I should have let him go."

Li Qi shook his head vigorously and said in a firm tone, "You're not stupid."

Su Jin touched the compensation contract in her hand and smiled happily, "Of course I'm not stupid. I'm going to participate in the Top Chain competition and let them see my strength! Prove that Lu Mingzhou was blind to have his eye on a pretty but talentless intern."

Li Qi's mind didn't quite catch on for a moment, but when he saw the faint sadness flashing in Su Jin's eyes, he suddenly understood.

"You...you all..."

Are you in a relationship?

Su Jin knew what he was going to say, and before he could continue speaking, she nodded, "We talked, but we broke up after the car accident, it's not important anymore."

Li Qi fell silent. He didn't know what he was thinking, or perhaps he wanted to say something to Su Jin, but he didn't speak until Su Jin took him to Aunt Li's side.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Aunt Li, Su Jin explained the situation to her again. Aunt Li looked at her son with tears in her eyes. Only after learning about the company's compensation did she finally let go of her resentment towards Su Jin.

Aunt Li looked much older in the past few months. She nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Miss Su."

"You're welcome, Aunt Li. You've worked so hard these past few days." Su Jin took the initiative to hug Aunt Li, gently patting her thin body. Suddenly, her nose tingled with emotion, and she thought of her mother.

"Alright, I'll be going now." Su Jin said goodbye to them.

Just as she turned to leave, Li Qi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

When are you going back to China?
