Chapter 16: What Are You Doing? I’m Going to Sue You!

“Director, you wanted to see me?”

“Yuan Yuan, I’ve received an anonymous complaint about you.”

“A complaint? I haven’t done anything!” Yuan Yuan looked puzzled.

“Come over and take a look.”

Yuan Yuan walked over to Lu Qingqiang’s computer and started reading.

The anonymous email accused her of misconduct and having questionable character.

It claimed that during her university years, she slept with teachers to get scholarships and cheated on exams.

It said she was good at pretending, liked to steal others’ boyfriends, and juggled multiple relationships.

She was accused of bullying classmates and being particularly scheming.

Such a person, it said, could still work at an orphanage and earn a high salary of ten thousand yuan.

It lamented the injustice of society, suggesting that the orphanage’s leaders must be blind to hire someone like Yuan Yuan.

Wasn’t anyone worried she might secretly abuse the children?

After reading it, Yuan Yuan stood up angrily.

“Director, this is slander. I haven’t done any of those things.”

“I swear.”

“Yes, besides this email, there are also many similar posts circulating online now.”

“Take a look.” Lu Qingqiang handed over his phone.

Yuan Yuan took it and, after reading, felt both anxious and furious.

The posts not only insulted her but also began attacking the director and the orphanage.

It was outrageous and absurd.

Yuan Yuan was extremely angry.

But soon, she calmed herself down.

Anger wouldn’t solve anything.

After thinking for a moment, she spoke.

“Director, I swear I’ve never done such things. Those are all lies.”

“If I’m lying, I’ll be reincarnated as a puppy in my next life.”

“The truth of this matter is actually easy to verify.”

“I can call our school’s authorities, teachers, and friends in front of you.”

“They all know what kind of person I am.”

“But regardless, since I’ve brought negative attention to our orphanage, that is indeed my fault.”

“Perhaps I should resign!”

“Director, thank you for valuing me before.”

“Don’t worry, after I resign, I’ll immediately post online to clarify the situation.”

“I won’t drag our orphanage down with me.”

“Teacher Yuan,” Lu Qingqiang called her.

“I’m here.”

“Are you sure everything online is false?”

“I’m sure.” Yuan Yuan looked at Lu Qingqiang with firm eyes.

“If you haven’t done it, and it’s all fake, then what are you afraid of?”

“Rest assured, our orphanage is a place of reason. You’re part of the orphanage, which means you’re one of us.”

“I won’t just abandon you when things get tough.”

“We’ll solve this together.”

Hearing this, Yuan Yuan felt a wave of gratitude.

She couldn’t help but speak.

“Thank you, Director.”

“Yuan Yuan, think carefully. Have you offended anyone recently?”

“I haven’t. Regarding my job and salary, only my parents know, and…”

“Director, I know who it is. It’s my college roommate, Hao Xue.”

“She’s the only one who knows my current situation.”

“Could it be that she sent the complaint?” Yuan Yuan quickly identified the suspect.

“I know where she works. I’ll go find her and get to the bottom of this.”

“I’ll go with you,” Lu Qingqiang offered.

Yuan Yuan might be a bit naive, but she’s not stupid.

Ah, she just hasn’t experienced the darker sides of human nature yet, so she was caught off guard.

Surely, after this incident, she’ll be more cautious.

“Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?”

“It’s no trouble at all. Let’s go.”

Once this is settled, she can almost schedule her excavator exam.

After passing that, she can move on to learning how to operate a forklift.

Hehe, that’s great.

She loves learning. Learning makes her happy.

Sitting in the car, Lu Qingqiang was contemplating whether to send a WeChat message to ask Lu Jianshen about the progress when her phone rang.

The call was from Madam Lu.

Because she always kept an eye on Lu Qingqiang, Madam Lu was also immediately aware of the online developments.

Given the current situation, the online issues shouldn’t greatly affect Lu Qingqiang.

Yet, she still called.

After all, she needed an excuse to connect with her daughter.

Moreover, she knew how much Qingqing cared about the orphanage.

Protecting the orphanage was like protecting Qingqing.

As for the driving classes and other activities Qingqing had been busy with, she approved of them.

Qingqing should do whatever she wants.

She had never been there for Qingqing growing up.

Now that Qingqing was an adult, she wouldn’t restrict her under the guise of what’s best for her or clip her wings.

Unless Qingqing strayed onto a wrong path, she, as a mother, would never stand in her way.

Oh, right, she needed to arrange for the butler to set up a few vehicles in the orphanage’s garage for Qingqing.

All kinds of vehicles, including the motorcycles and excavators Qingqing was learning, should be arranged.

“Hello, Mom?”

“Ah, Qingqing, are you busy?”

Hearing Lu Qingqiang’s voice, Madam Lu quickly refocused, fully engaged in the call.

“Not too busy, but I’m about to head out.”

“Qingqing, I saw the news online. Do you need me to do anything?” Madam Lu’s voice was gentle.

“Thank you, Mom. Not for now. Teacher Yuan and I have a plan.”

“Okay, if anything comes up, remember to call me anytime.”

“…”

After chatting a bit more with Madam Lu, Lu Qingqiang hung up.

Not long after, she received a message from her second brother, Lu Jianshen.

Hmm, interesting!
