thanks for the translation!
wonder what made qi hate both xue and aoqing so much to the point of trying to turn people at the job she just joined against the two of them despite both being popular
good thing chongs seemingly taking the loony tunesesque job of stopping anything qi tries, best wingman
I feel this is a way to shift what she thinks will be future blame, Cause in the last few chapters she's been 'giving advice' that she doesn't believe in to Director Shen possibly to get her in trouble so she's one less person she has to beat to rise the corporate ladder in the future.
Her plan could even be something like being the one to come in from nowhere to fix it, making her look good while hurting everyone involved. But now the trouble she's causing is going to affect her, not to mention what would happen when people realise that right after she joined trouble started, so she wants to make it look like she has no possible involvement.
She's trying to give herself an out while pinning the blame on these two as they would be in the centre of trouble she trying to create, and it'd be a lot easier if she was in control of how their offices view on both of them. Losing your support system in the office AND dealing with what could be possible loss of job trouble would give no one the mental capacity to even think about how funny the timing is, not to mention that if her plan works out no one in the office would be willing to help either, letting her still rise up as she'll 'help out & support everyone through this.'
Edit: Also wanna note how vulnerable Director Shen also seems and how she obviously is manipulating her already & that Chong tis best wingwomen
Still this is just a theory,
A YURI THEORY
also sorry for the wordy response & Many thank to the translation group for this chapter~
