Chapter 38: Jumping into the Lake

While talking, Ming Chengzhong had already walked over.

He seemed a little unbelievable, staring at Shen Youyou with eyes full of confusion and doubts.

Upon seeing this, the man with triangular eyes immediately relayed what he heard to Ming Chengzhong.

So, within a few seconds, Ming Chengzhong's fat face was filled with anger.

"I thought our transaction was completed smoothly, but I didn't want you to mess with me."

"Vice President Ming, there is a misunderstanding here."

Without waiting for Ming Chengzhong to reply, Shen Youyou quickly took off her shoes. She hid the light blue recording pen underneath. She took it out and handed it to Ming Chengzhong proactively.

"Vice President Ming, I did record the audio, but the reason was just to protect myself."

Shen Youyou stood up, his eyes looking firm and sincere.

She knew that at times like this, she should not panic, because if something was revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So she could only adapt to circumstances and try to turn big mistakes into small ones.

"Actually, I really paid a lot in order to find a good job. A friend introduced me to a leader of the municipal hospital. I also gave him a lot of benefits at that time, but the other party did not arrange a job for me in the end. He denied it and said he had never received the money."

Shen Youyou raised his head, with a slightly aggrieved expression on his face.

"Actually, I'm just afraid that something like this will happen again, so I took this step. But other than that, I don't have any other ideas. I believe Vice President Ming can understand. After all, you also brought three bodyguards." Well.

In fact, my mood at that time was probably the same as yours, I was just afraid of any accidents and wanted to give myself a guarantee."

"So, if I don't arrange a good job for you, will this recording be made public by you?"

"Of course not."

Shen Youyou quickly flattered him.

"With the strength of Vice President Ming, how could it not be arranged? It's my fault that I worried too much. I dropped this recorder now to save you from feeling uncomfortable after reading it."

After speaking, Shen Youyou immediately dropped the recorder on the ground.

"Click!" There was a sound, and the pen body split into two parts.

"Vice President Ming, look, I have dropped the recording pen. I hope you won't be angry. I need to trouble you more about work."

Shen Youyou's words were full of flattery and humility, which made it seem like there was no big mistake to be found, but Ming Chengzhong always felt that something was strange.

He looked straight at Shen Youyou, trying to find some flaws in her face, but except for the clear clarity in her eyes, he did not notice anything that looked like a lie.

As a result, the vigilance that had been all over my body finally dissipated.

"There won't be a next time, otherwise, don't blame me for turning against you."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I have remembered everything Vice President Ming said. I promise there will be no next time." After saying that, he pretended to care and continued to ask, "What about my job, Vice President Ming?" Will the dean still make arrangements?"

The stronger her desire for work is, the less likely Ming Chengzhong will feel that she has other goals.

So after Shen Youyou asked, Ming Chengzhong seemed to believe that she did this because she was worried that she would not do the work after receiving the money.

"Since I dare to accept this money, I will definitely be able to handle this matter."

Ming Chengzhong withdrew his gaze from Shen Youyou, then knelt down and picked up the broken recording pen with his own hands.

"I took the things away. As for work, I'll wait for news."

"Okay! Then I'll look forward to good news."

After saying that, Shen Youyou pulled Xu Xiao and quickly got into the car.

As the car drove out, Shen Youyou kept thinking about the voice recorder. She stared at the rearview mirror intently, and sure enough she saw Ming Chengzhong throwing the thing into the lake at the door after getting out.

She asked Xu Xiao to drive in the opposite direction for thirty minutes and then turn back.

But by the time she rushed over, the recorder had long since disappeared, leaving only a few fat footprints by the lake.

"The pen must have sunk, Youyou, what should we do now?"

Xu Xiao's voice was full of guilt. She squatted aside, her bright red eyes filled with crystal clear eyes.

"If I hadn't talked too much, if I hadn't been unable to control my emotions, things wouldn't have been like this at all. Youyou, it was me who hurt you."

Shen Youyou said nothing, only looking at the lake.

Xu Xiao thought she was angry, so she burst into tears immediately.

"Youyou, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, but please don't ignore me, okay?"

Shen Youyou came back to her senses and quickly held her hand.

"I'm not angry, and I won't ignore you. Everyone makes mistakes. I just think that after making a mistake, it is more important to think about how to recover the losses, rather than looking for responsibility or blaming each other."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Xu Xiao quickly wiped her tears, then stood up and took off her shoes, "Then I will go and recover the loss now and dive down to find it for you."

"Stop."

Shen Youyou grabbed Xu Xiao and threw the shoes back to her.

"You can't go down if you don't know how to swim."

"It's such a small lake and not very deep. Maybe I can stand on it with bare feet."

Shen Youyou couldn't help but roll her eyes, then picked up a long stick on the ground and inserted it into the lake.

A long stick over three meters long didn't even reach the bottom when I put it in.

Xu Xiao stayed there, a little confused for a moment.

"This lake has obviously been renovated. Although it doesn't look big on the surface, it's very deep below. Without extensive swimming experience, it's impossible to get into it."

Shen Youyou took off her coat and shoes as she spoke. Xu Xiao stood aside and pulled her arm, not allowing her to get off.

"You know I've been swimming since elementary school."

"But you are injured."

Xu Xiao looked at the smelly and green lake in front of him, and couldn't bear to let Shen Youyou take the risk.

"Xu Xiao, I have to go down. You know how important the things in that recorder are to me."

"But……"

"Don't worry, I'm a doctor. I will have an estimate of my physical condition, and I won't take my own life for a joke. I promise you, I will go to the lake every three minutes to check that you are safe. If Once I can't hold on any longer, I will come out immediately."

"Can't you think of another way? At worst, I'll put on makeup for you next time, and you'll pretend to be another person to trade with Ming Chengzhong."

"There can be no next time. Although Ming Chengzhong let us go this time, he will definitely be more cautious in the future, and sooner or later he will know that my information is false."

Shen Youyou pried off Xu Xiao's fingers little by little, and then jumped into the lake resolutely.
