"Su Chen, the new driver?"
Ma Yuemin furrowed his brows in recollection, when suddenly, a flicker of realization lit up his mind, and he finally rembered the na Su Chen.
That was a few months ago, when Zhang Mingyu had reported to him, saying that there was a new driver in their departnt who seed not so simple, and who moreover seed to be quite close to Xia Qiuru.
At the ti, he had not taken it seriously, thinking that Zhang Mingyu was being paranoid; after all, how could soone of Xia Qiuru's appearance and status possibly have anything to do with a low-level driver?
Even so, he had casually ntioned, "Since you have your suspicions, just find an occasion to get rid of him."
Now, seeing Xia Qiuru's anxious expression, Ma Yuemin finally believed that the relationship between these two might indeed be out of the ordinary.
This realization only hardened Ma Yuemin's determination to deal with Su Chen—Xia Qiuru was his forbidden fruit, and he absolutely would not allow any other man to lay a finger on her!
"Su Chen, is it?" Ma Yuemin sneered mockingly, "What did you just say? Just because of ?"
"I'm telling you now, just because of , I want to fire you this instant. Let's see who dares to object?"
Ma Yuemin spoke with an air of dominance; as the vice president of the group, of course he had the authority to dismiss a lowly driver.
"I object!"
Yet, before his words were finished, two voices rang out simultaneously.
One of the voices was Xia Qiuru's, while the other ca from outside the crowd.
When the crowd saw who owned that voice, their jaws dropped, and they instinctively cleared a pathway.
It was beyond all of their expectations: not only had the internal dispute of the security departnt drawn Xia Qiuru and Ma Yuemin, but now even President Lin had arrived!
What did President Lin just say? She objects?
The onlookers imdiately beca excited inside; a direct confrontation between the president and the vice president was a rare sight indeed, and for it to be over such an inconspicuous driver made it all the more incredible!
In an instant, Ma Yuemin was also stunned; he had not expected Lin Ruoxue herself to co, and not only that, she was openly disagreeing with him, wasn't this equivalent to slapping him in the face in public?
"President Lin, what do you an?" Continue your adventure with empire
Ma Yuemin's face darkened imdiately, knowing well he had his own grounds for his actions.
He wasn't just so employee Lin Ruoxue had hired; he was also one of Belle Group's owners, holding 15% of the Belle Group's shares.
He did not believe that Lin Ruoxue would really fall out with him over a driver!
"My aning is quite clear," Lin Ruoxue spoke after arriving, not sparing Su Chen a glance as if they were strangers.
"At Belle Group, we are a place that talks reason. Whether hiring or firing, there must be a reason that is convincing!"
Su Chen chuckled to himself, this girl sure could put on an act.
But inside, he appreciated Lin Ruoxue standing up for him; once they were back, he'd have to properly reward her!
"What more reason do we need? Isn't him injuring soone enough?" Ma Yuemin retorted with a cold snort.
"Of course, it's not enough," Lin Ruoxue argued firmly, "Then Vice President Ma, do you know why he hit soone?"
Ma Yuemin, clueless about the details, could only shake his head.
"Since you do not even know why he hit soone, isn't it a bit too hasty to just proceed with the punishnt?"
Lin Ruoxue said calmly, looking at Ma Yuemin, "Shouldn't we first clarify the ins and outs of the matter?"
"Alright, I agree,"
Lin Ruoxue's every sentence was impeccable, leaving Ma Yuemin no choice but to nod in aggrieved agreent.
He then lengthened his face and asked, "Who knows what happened here? Step forward and speak."
In an instant, the eyes of those around gathered on the security departnt personnel.
Seeing that everyone was looking at them, the security departnt mbers involuntarily took a step back.
It was a joke— even a fool could see this was a fight among the gods, and us little devils better stay out of trouble by minding our own business.
"Speak up, whoever knows about the situation should co forward and talk, I guarantee you'll be safe!"
Lin Ruoxue's gaze toward the security departnt mbers was filled with encouragent; she also believed Su Chen wouldn't have resorted to violence without good reason.
However, she still harbored so resentnt toward Su Chen, thinking he was too reckless—look at the state he left people in.
Actually, Lin Ruoxue was busy with the data for an important eting in the afternoon when suddenly her secretary, Chen Guo, burst in and told her Su Chen had beaten up the head of security, Zhang Mingyu.
As Lin Ruoxue's secretary, Chen Guo had long guessed that Su Chen had an unusual relationship with her, and sure enough, after hearing her report, Lin Ruoxue's face went pale, and then she ran out in a panic.
"I'll talk!"
At that mont, a hand stretched out from the crowd, and a sturdy-looking young man stepped forward—he was none other than the straightforward boy of the security departnt, ng Shan!
After ng Shan stepped out, he recounted the event exactly as it occurred, without embellishnt or leaving out any details.
The more Ma Yuemin listened, the darker his face grew, though he just held back from erupting in front of everyone.
He understood now—Zhang Mingyu was simply carrying out his instructions to have this fellow driven out.
It was just that man's calculations are no match for heaven's; he hadn't expected to be the one cleaned up instead.
Mourning the fate of such a loyal follower, Ma Yuemin was filled with deep hatred!
Actually, Ma Yuemin was rather presumptuous; Zhang Mingyu's desire to get rid of Su Chen was entirely because he couldn't see through the young man and didn't want such an uncertainty on his turf.
"Vice-President Ma, you now understand what happened, right?"
After listening to ng Shan, Lin Ruoxue also felt a weight lift from her heart—having the upper hand ant things would be easier to handle.
Ma Yuemin, with a dark face, did not answer but instead asked:
"So how does President Lin plan to handle this?"
"How about this," Lin Ruoxue pondered for a mont before saying, "Let Su Chen cover Zhang Mingyu's dical bills, and write a 5,000-word reflection to submit to the administrative departnt."
When Su Chen heard that not only did Lin Ruoxue want him to pay for the dical expenses but also to write a reflection, he imdiately beca unhappy.
Just as he was about to speak out, he caught Lin Ruoxue's fierce glare and quickly shut his mouth.
"Forget it, considering you stood up for , I won't hold it against you," Su Chen muttered to himself.
"Is that all? Is Zhang Mingyu just going to be beaten for nothing?"
Unable to hold back, Ma Yuemin roared angrily, Lin Ruoxue was clearly covering for this guy nad Su Chen!
He was sowhat puzzled, though—why would Lin Ruoxue do that? Could it be that she had so relationship with Su Chen?
With this thought, Ma Yuemin glanced at Su Chen, only to find the man looking at the situation with his hands in his pockets and legs shaking as if enjoying a good show, seemingly unconcerned.
