“Get lost!” Wei Ya looked up with bloodshot eyes.
She was no longer as arrogant as before. Now she was like a stray dog.
Yili shook at the look in her eyes and almost fell to the ground.
Yili was timid, so it was not surprising that she had gone to look for Assistant Li. It was just that they did not expect Qiao Sisi to come up with such tactics.
Wei Ya gritted her teeth and scratched her head in frustration. She looked at Yili, who was still standing there, and shouted, “Get lost! Get out!”
Faced with the repeated howling, Yili was almost scared out of her wits.
She did not delay any longer. Pulling her suitcase and bag, which she had already packed, she ran out of the room without hesitation.
One wondered if Yili would continue to be Wei Ya’s sidekick after today’s incident.
Wei Ya sat on the ground. Her hair was messy, and her eyes were bloodshot. Filled with hatred, she gripped the carpet tightly.
Qiao Sisi, I will definitely make you pay the price!
…
On the other side.
After Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya packed their luggage, the two of them dragged their luggage downstairs to the hotel lobby.
The company car was already waiting downstairs. They could put the luggage in the car beforehand and go shopping at Jade Street.
Since they were already here in Yunqi, if they did not bring something back, how could they prove that they had been here?
The elevator button was pressed. It was quiet as only Lin Ya and Qiao Sisi were in the elevator.
“How did you know that Wei Ya stole your things?” Lin Ya sat on her suitcase, her hand on the elevator’s grab bar as she asked curiously.
When Qiao Sisi heard this, she glanced at her. “She’s the one who doesn’t have a good relationship with me. Moreover, her room is next to mine. Logically speaking, she should be the biggest suspect when I went downstairs to make lemonade.”
It was precisely because Qiao Sisi was certain that she would go to Wei Ya’s room. Otherwise, she would not have gone to search her room under dubious circumstances.
No matter how she looked at it, what Wei Ya did was against the rules.
“That makes sense!” Lin Ya’s eyes lit up as she gave Qiao Sisi a thumbs up.
Qiao Sisi raised her eyebrows. “Low profile, low profile.”
The two of them chatted and laughed as the elevator reached the first floor. They dragged their luggage out of the hotel and placed them in the car.
After getting into the car, Qiao Sisi realized that not many colleagues had come downstairs. There were only four or five of them. Assistant Li, Wei Ya, and Wei Ya’s sidekick, Yili, were not there.
The company driver at the front seat said, “Assistant Li told me just now that no one else is going. I’ll take you guys around the city now.”
With that, he started the car.
Although Qiao Sisi could not quite understand, she did not want to interfere. She leaned back in her seat and looked at the scenery outside the car.
Seating by the window and looking at the scenery was probably one of the ways for people to calm down.
Qiao Sisi no longer placed the jewelry box and the book in her suitcase. Instead, she placed them all in her bag which she always carried with her.
Fortunately, the bag was just big enough for the jewelry box and the book.
Qiao Sisi did not want the same thing to happen again. She could not guarantee that she could find out who did it every time.
Light Smoke was expensive and it was hard to guarantee that no one would be tempted. To a jewelry designer, that book was a treasure. Qiao Sisi would never allow herself to lose it.
After a while, Lin Ya felt a little bored and said, “Sisi, do you think Wei Ya will be fired by CEO Xiang this time?”
Stealing was not a small matter, especially in a big company like Jinyu. They would never allow a person with a tainted record to continue working there.
However… It was hard to say.
Qiao Sisi shook her head slightly to indicate that she was not very sure. “I don’t know either, but I think Wei Ya will not be fired.”
It was a woman’s intuition.
“No way. If Wei Ya is not fired after doing such a thing, how well connected is she?” Lin Ya frowned.
Qiao Sisi’s lips twitched. “Well, those with backgrounds are different from us.”
“Sigh, I can’t believe we have to keep Wei Ya around. I’m really afraid I won’t be able to control my hand,” said Lin Ya helplessly as she blew at her fist.
These words made Qiao Sisi laugh.
Lin Ya’s personality was a little similar to Chen Anna’s, but not exactly the same. Chen Anna looked carefree on the surface, but she was actually very meticulous.
Lin Ya was different. She was completely carefree like a tomboy.
Ten minutes later, the company’s car arrived at Jade Street where they had previously visited.
Besides the Jade Restaurant, which Qiao Sisi had visited once, she had not seen any other place on Jade Street.
Once Lin Ya got out of the car, she saw a breakfast stall. She bought four buns and gave two to Qiao Sisi.
Lin Ya took a bite of her bun and said incoherently, “Sisi, what gift are you going to buy to bring back?”
“I don’t know yet. Let’s take a look first.”
Qiao Sisi also took a bite of the bun in her hand. It was rich and juicy, and the minced meat filling inside was very chunky. It was cheap and good.
The two of them walked around Jade Street aimlessly while eating the buns. Finally, they came to a jewelry store.
It did not look upscale, but it was not exactly ordinary either. It suited the income range of people like Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya well.
Qiao Sisi finished her bun, wiped her hands, and walked into the store with Lin Ya.
This jewelry store was not big. There were shelves on all four walls with exquisite jewelry on display. The prices were varied.
The advantage of a small store was that after you entered, there would not be a salesperson shadowing you.
Lin Ya was a little excited. She walked quickly to a rack full of necklaces. They were dazzling.
Qiao Sisi also took a few steps forward and looked at these necklaces.
“Sisi, what do you think of this necklace?”
Lin Ya was holding a necklace with a shiny dolphin at the end. It looked cute.
There was a mirror on the shelf in front of the two of them, which allowed them to try on the necklaces.
Lin Ya put the necklace around her neck without much fuss. She made a few simple gestures.
After looking at it for a while, she put the dolphin necklace back.
“This necklace doesn’t suit me. Pick again.”
On the side, Qiao Sisi was also browsing the necklaces. She was not buying something for herself, but a gift for Chen Anna.
As for what to buy for Zheng Zeyi, she had not thought about it yet. She could not possibly buy a girly gift for him. That would be unrealistic.
