"Uh, this phone is..."

Wen Wen's hands trembled, and she immediately realized that she had been careless.

She shouldn't have taken out the phone in front of Sister Gan Qi.

Gan Qi also frowned. Wen Wen's phone looked newly bought, as if it had just been taken out of the box, without any signs of use.

She took the phone and put it in her hand. She sniffed it. It was a new device! It smelled like it had just been unpacked.

"This phone was definitely bought today. You just got it, right?"

Wenwen: "No, I... don't..."

Gan Qi half-closed her eyes and looked at her cousin.

She knew that Wenwen took good care of her things, especially her cell phone. The first thing she would do when she got one was either to buy a case or put a screen protector on it.

But the new phone in her hand was completely naked. It had no protection at all... This was not her style of using things.

“Is this a difficult question to answer?”

Gan Qi was a little serious. She felt something was wrong from the moment they met.

"You're so weird today, as if you're deliberately hiding something."

"No."

Wenwen's voice trembled.

"My phone... yes, it is new."

Knowing that her cousin was as sharp as a detective, Wenwen simply admitted that the phone was new.

Gan Qi: "You are always frugal, you wouldn't use such an expensive phone, who bought this phone?"

Wen Wen: "No one, no one, no one."

She didn't dare look into Sister Gan Qi's eyes.

Gan Qi smiled softly: "Wenwen, what's wrong with you today? You are hesitant to speak on the phone. It's inconvenient to explain... You know I hate it most when people hide things from me. I hate it when people lie to me. Don't make unreasonable excuses to fool me."

"What can I fool you with? It's just a cell phone..."

Although Wenwen tried hard to deny it, Gan Qi was sure that she was hiding something from him.

"You are usually the worst at lying. Whenever you say something you dare not look the other person in the eye."

Wen Wen clutched her clothes nervously, "I bought the phone myself... Why would I hide this from you... There's no need... I got my salary and bonus a while ago, so I wanted to buy a better phone so I can handle some files on it when I'm free..."

"You lied to me again. From what I know about you, it's impossible for you to buy such an expensive phone."

Gan Qi lowered his head and took another look. "This is the top-of-the-line model, which costs tens of thousands. Just tell me the truth, what's going on?"

Wen Wen even had sweat on her forehead. She absolutely could not give her brother-in-law away, otherwise everything would be ruined.

"Okay! Actually, it was given to me by someone else."

"Who?"

Wen Wen searched her brain repeatedly, trying to find someone to take the blame.

There is no way her parents would buy her this phone. If she gets a phone at this price, her aunt would be so heartbroken that she would cry.

Wenwen doesn’t have many friends. The ones around her are either mothers or young girls with unstable jobs. It’s even less likely that they would give her a phone like this.

After thinking it over, suddenly, she had an idea!

Wen Wen looked determined and raised her head and said:

"It's from our boss, our boss gave it to us!"

Gan Qi was very surprised.

"That Mr. Shen Tulong?"

"Yes, he gave it to me. He gave it to me after get off work yesterday, and I opened it and used it before I left home today."

Gan Qi: "It's actually him?"

Wen Wen nodded frantically: "I performed well in the company, and he took good care of me. I worked overtime a few days ago and completed the project ahead of schedule. He was very happy and gave me a mobile phone as a reward."

"…The phone case and tempered glass I bought online haven't arrived yet, so it's a bare phone now."

Although this reason was thought up in a hurry, Wenwen felt that the explanation was very reasonable.

She quietly apologized to her boss:

Boss, Boss... I really can't find anyone else who's suitable. Since you're a rich man, please take the blame for me...

It’s actually nothing to sacrifice the boss in order to save my sister and brother-in-law’s family.

Gan Qi was thoughtful.

It seems... quite reasonable.

only……

"Wenwen, I heard that he used to find all kinds of excuses to give you bonuses, and now he suddenly gave you such an expensive phone... He doesn't have any other purpose, does he?"

Wen Wen: "Our boss is very considerate of new employees and is very upright."

Gan Qi: "I know, but it feels weird...Did he give you this phone in public or in private?"

Wenwen: “Ah, is there any difference?”

Gan Qi: "If it was given to you at a company event, then it's fine. But if it was given to you privately, then I think it's inappropriate."

Wen Wen chuckled and thought it was just an excuse, but Sister Gan Qi actually took it seriously.

"It was...given to me after get off work. Oh! He gave it to me as a reward because I worked hard. Sister Gan Qi, don't think too much about it."

Gan Qi: "This is not right. Awards given to employees should be public and formal. It's not appropriate for him to give you such an expensive thing privately."

Gan Qi felt that it was not strange for the boss to reward employees, but it seemed a bit over the line that Mr. Shen Tulong privately gave Wen Wen an expensive mobile phone.

And if other people in the company find out, it will cause criticism.

Wen Wen: "Cousin, I understand. I won't do that anymore. Let's continue shopping and stop worrying about this phone!"

Gan Qi: “Yeah.”

Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief, apologized to her boss in her heart, and was glad that she had gotten away with it.

Gan Qi looked upstairs and said, "Let's go and take a look upstairs."
