Episode 3: Shattered Dreams

As news of Liu Hao's engagement to Wang Mei continued to spread, Li Xin couldn't escape the ever-present whispers and gossip that haunted the hallways of Vitality Pharmaceuticals. The pain in her heart grew deeper as she watched Wang Mei's influence over Liu Hao strengthen. Wang Mei, now a partner in Liu Hao's company, wielded her newfound power with a sense of entitlement that made Li Xin uneasy.

Wang Mei's disdain for Li Xin was evident in her every glance and gesture. She couldn't stand the idea of Li Xin still working at the company, a constant reminder of the love Liu Hao once had for her. Determined to force Li Xin's resignation, Wang Mei devised a cunning plan to tarnish Li Xin's reputation within the company.

One morning, as Li Xin settled into her office, she was surprised to receive a summons to the boardroom. There, she found Liu Hao, Wang Mei, and several other company executives waiting for her.

Liu Hao's voice was filled with feigned regret as he spoke, "Li Xin, I'm afraid we've received a complaint from a valuable client regarding your conduct during a business meeting. They allege that you were unprofessional and disrespectful."

Li Xin's heart pounded in her chest as she tried to make sense of the accusation. She had always prided herself on her professionalism and dedication to her work. This was clearly a set-up.

Wang Mei's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she chimed in, "Yes, Liu Hao and I believe it would be best for the company if you were to resign immediately. It's for everyone's benefit, really."

Tears welled up in Li Xin's eyes, and her voice trembled with emotion. "This is a lie, both of you know it. I have never behaved unprofessionally, and I can't believe you're doing this to me."

Liu Hao avoided her gaze, his guilt evident in his hesitation. "I'm sorry, Li Xin. But Wang Mei and I have made a decision, and we believe it's for the best. It's time for you to leave."

Devastated and heartbroken, Li Xin had no choice but to tender her resignation. She couldn't bear the thought of staying in a company where her reputation had been tainted unjustly. With a heavy heart, she packed her belongings and walked out of Vitality Pharmaceuticals for the last time.

In her moment of despair, Li Xin sought refuge in the comforting presence of her best friend, Kyra Lee. Over a cup of hot tea, she poured her heart out, recounting the betrayal she had experienced at the hands of the man she once loved and the woman who had now taken her place.

Kyra listened attentively, her eyes filled with empathy and anger on behalf of her friend. "I can't believe they did this to you, Xin. It's unforgivable. But remember, this doesn't define you. You are strong, resilient, and talented. You'll find a better place where your worth is appreciated."

Li Xin managed a weak smile through her tears. "Thank you, Kyra. I don't know what I would do without you. But right now, I feel lost and betrayed. I need to find my strength again and regain control of my life."
