"What do you think?" Zhao Fei raised the left corner of her lips before moving to get closer to the screens.
"I think my performance is great!" Zhao Yiqing praised himself.
Zhao Fei laughed at the youth's optimistic attitude and glanced to her front where Ran Xueyi was seated.
She already heard from Senior Wu about what happened. When she first found out that Feng Huai was stealing company secrets through her computer, she immediately wanted to find him and beat him up!
She also didn't want to be caught up in his actions and quickly proved her innocence. However, she still felt that she should be blamed for what happened as well.
Because of her carelessness and trust in Feng Huai, she almost brought down Chestnut without having any idea of it.
Zhao Fei still wanted to speak to Feng Huai and ask him why he had to do this. Why had he betrayed them? And why did he trick her?
She practically raised him in the entertainment industry. Zhao Fei thought that for as long as he stood beside her and learned everything she gave to him, he would soon become a formidable agent like her.
Unfortunately, the reality was too far from what she thought.
Feng Huai ignored her warnings before; to not get greedy and to not be tempted by evil. And he fell into the cliff of ambition.
"I know I shouldn't defend him but…" she took a brief pause before continuing her words, "Is it possible to lessen Xiao Feng's punishment? He's immature and got swayed by this man Gong Sun. Xiao Feng hasn't been like this before so I'm sure he can definitely change for the better."
Of course, Zhao Fei knew that the words that were coming out of her mouth were a bit reckless. However, she still remembered the image of Feng Huai running around her, looking like a child and getting excited at anything. In her eyes, Feng Huai is someone that could change for as long as he learns from his mistake.
Moreover, Ran Xueyi also spent some time with Feng Huai. She must have seen how he behaved in the past. Zhao Fei wanted to achieve the last thread of forgiveness and start afresh.
As soon those words landed, the other people inside the office soon turned their attention to her. Zhao Fei felt somewhat embarrassed being in the center of attraction, but she looked at Ran Xueyi.
After a prolonged silence, Ran Xueyi finally opened her mouth.
However, it was not the words that Zhao Fei hoped she would hear.
"So, Sister Fei wants me to forgive Feng Huai?" asked Ran Xueyi expressionlessly. Zhao Fei stared at her, but she continued, "Even though I can do that. But my heart won't forgive."
"Feng Huai is immature and innocent? His actions didn't happen just last night. He has been planning to betray me for the couple of months that have passed."
"His brother-in-law and sister got him swayed? If one didn't have such malicious thoughts, no one would be swayed."
Ran Xueyi sneered and added finally, "Feng Huai didn't only wrong me, Sister Fei. He should ask for forgiveness from all his victims. If you're still not clear about it, why don't we ask Yao Chen's opinion?" She turned her question to the young actor and asked, "Are you willing to forgive Feng Huai?"
She received an immediate answer. 'No'.
"See? Even Yao Chen, the one who was harassed multiple times by his maternal family only because his apartment address was leaked to them, expressed no." Ran Xueyi curled her lips into an apathetic smile. "What do you think those people whose privacies were exposed would feel? Do you think they would forgive and thank Feng Huai?"
Forgive him? Zhao Fei naturally knows the answer to that. If someone had grasps on their secrets and private information, they will definitely be angry and not forgive.
As for thanking him… what qualification does Feng Huai have to receive their gratitude?
He had betrayed the company. He took and gathered company secrets and artist's private data and had someone compile them into a USB as if it was a time bomb he had created himself and would detonate as soon as he left Chestnut.
Not to mention, that he was still planning to do something behind their backs and possibly, ruin Zhao Yiqing if Ran Xueyi didn't set that trap.
So, how can anyone feel anything for Feng Huai. He was by no means innocent and his hands weren't guiltless. He might have been innocent in the past, but he still ended up becoming a greedy and malicious snake.
But still, Zhao Fei thought it was a pity for Feng Huai to go. After all, the person who has been by his side and seen his growth. She also considered him to be her junior brother that she must protect.
As though she guessed what was inside her mind, Ran Xueyi tilted her head slightly to the side, saying, "Of course, if you wish to save him, there's a way. I'm not that ruthless to not leave anybody a chance to stand on their feet."
Upon hearing this, several pairs of eyes fell on her. And, Zhao Fei couldn't deny that her heart was filled with joy and delight. However, it was only a little bit before dread bloomed within her as she heard Ran Xueyi continue speaking…
"You can hand over your resignation letter and stand by his side. Then… you might be able to salvage a tiny bit of his dignity." Ran Xueyi kept her face expressionless and her eyes were unfathomably deep as if a well that was too deep and could never be disturbed was inside it.
"With your connection in the industry, you can stop Feng Huai from getting totally blacklisted in the country. But then, you already know that even if you spent all of your money and energy, you won't be able to do anything to save anyone."
"Zhao Fei, make your decision. Me or Feng Huai."
