Chapter 86

"Morning."

Tong Wenjie responded with a smile,

and walked toward the finance office.

Along the way,

all the employees nodded or smiled at Tong Wenjie to show their goodwill.

"Morning, Sister Tong."

"Morning, Sister Tong."

"Sister Tong, you look especially beautiful today!"

"Morning, Sister Tong!"

"Good morning, Sister Tong!"

Tong Wenjie nodded and smiled, responding to each one.

Before she even reached the finance office,

Xiao Jin suddenly pushed the door open and rushed out.

Then, with a "thump," she knelt before Tong Wenjie: "Sister Tong, I'm sorry!"

"Hmm?"

Tong Wenjie took two steps,

stood in front of Xiao Jin, and asked from a high vantage point: "What's wrong, Xiao Jin?"

"I'm sorry, Sister Tong, it was all, it was all forced by Lei Mengde!"

Xiao Jin shed tears, looking up at Tong Wenjie, and begged while crying: "I told him that you were so, so good to me in the past, but he still forced me to do those things that were unfair to you."

"Sister Tong, I was wrong. I really am sorry to you. Please don't fire me, okay? I beg you!"

Moral kidnapping?

Upon hearing this, Tong Wenjie narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Xiao Jin,

then smiled,

and said: "Xiao Jin, you've got it wrong."

"I am an employee of the finance department, and you are the director of the finance department. How could I possibly fire you? Heh..."

Just as Tong Wenjie finished speaking,

the company's human resources manager hurried over.

First, they nodded and smiled at Tong Wenjie to show respect,

then announced in a loud voice: "We have just received a notice from headquarters. Because of her excellent performance during her tenure, Sister Tong Wenjie has been promoted to General Manager and Finance Director of the company, and she now holds the authority to hire and fire employees."

"Sister Tong is awesome!"

"Sister Tong, you're the best!"

"As expected of my Sister Tong, so awesome there's no one like her!"

"Congratulations, Sister Tong—no, I should call you General Manager now!"

"Sister Tong, you have to treat us to a meal; let's all get together!"

"Congratulations, Sister Tong!"

The employees immediately burst into thunderous applause,

offering their congratulations to Tong Wenjie one after another.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jin watched Tong Wenjie even more nervously: "Sister Tong, I beg you..."

"No need to beg me."

Tong Wenjie smiled slightly: "HR, since I now have the authority to hire and fire employees, I will exercise my right."

"Fire Xiao Jin immediately for gross misconduct, conduct a detailed investigation into the inside story of her violations, and recover her illegal gains!"

"If any illegal acts are discovered during the investigation, hand her over directly to the public security organs and fully cooperate with the investigation!"

"Yes."

HR responded,

then beckoned for security to come over.

At this moment,

Xiao Jin had completely collapsed onto the floor, her eyes hollow and filled with despair...

There were no classes in the morning,

and Xu Qin happened to be off her night shift,

so,

Qin Feng and Xu Qin had arranged

to go for morning tea at a famous Hong Kong-style tea restaurant in the Imperial Capital.

However,

Xu Qin had to do a shift handover after her night shift, which would likely take an extra hour or so,

so,

Qin Feng didn't leave until 8:30.

Just as he stepped into the elevator to go downstairs,

Luo Nian's voice rang out from outside: "Wait a moment, please wait a moment."

Qin Feng pressed the open-door button,

and then, Luo Nian hurried in while carrying Luo Le.

Seeing it was Qin Feng,

Luo Nian blushed and gave Qin Feng a sweet smile,

then shouted to Liang You'an outside the elevator: "Liang You'an, hurry up, the elevator is waiting!"

"Thump, thump!"

The crutch tapped rapidly against the floor.

Liang You'an looked exasperated: "Luo Nian, are you even human?! I'm on crutches and you're telling me to hurry?! How can I hurry?!"

Just as she finished speaking,

seeing the elevator doors about to close again,

Liang You'an immediately raised her crutch to block the door,

and then uncontrollably tumbled into the elevator.

Then,

Qin Feng instinctively reached out to catch her,

and happened to support the area just above her abdomen where there was a distinct outline.

Liang You'an froze,

and Luo Nian froze too.

Qin Feng, however, casually squeezed his hand,

smiled slightly,

and sighed to himself: "Not bad, quite exquisite."

Feeling what seemed to be Qin Feng's deliberate kneading,

Liang You'an looked up and glared at Qin Feng, then shoved his hands away.

But the next second,

Liang You'an uncontrollably fell backward again.

Just as Qin Feng was about to reach out,

Liang You'an shouted: "I don't need your help!"

Then, a "thump" was heard,

and Liang You'an slammed heavily against the elevator wall.

In an instant,

the elevator became eerily quiet.

Luo Nian strained her face, trying her best not to laugh out loud.

Qin Feng turned to face the elevator exit, ignoring Liang You'an.

Luo Le, however,

seeing Liang You'an fall,

asked with concern: "Auntie An'an, are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?"

"Auntie An'an is fine."

Liang You'an replied, struggling to stand up, then steadied her crutch.

She looked at Qin Feng's back,

mentally simulating various scenarios of beating Qin Feng up.

Before long,

the elevator doors opened.

Qin Feng walked out of the elevator and headed toward his parking space.

Only then did Luo Nian pull Liang You'an and help her out of the elevator.

Watching Liang You'an limping along with such stubbornness,

Luo Nian couldn't help but nag: "Liang You'an, really, your foot is sprained, can't you just take a few days off?"

"No."

Liang You'an shook her head: "At Yisu, my work is unparalleled; no one can replace me!"

"Give it a rest."

Luo Nian smiled speechlessly: "That Director Jiao of yours, heh, when he needs you, you're a treasure, but when he doesn't, you're not even worth as much as grass! At least grass can green the environment!"

"Alright, alright, I work for myself, not for Director Jiao. Luo Nian, give me the car keys."

"Don't even think about it, my ancestor. Your leg is like that and you still want to drive? Be sensible and go to the back with Luo Le; I'll drive!"

After saying this, Luo Nian helped Liang You'an fold her crutch and shoved her into the backseat.

Subsequently,

Luo Nian got in and started the car,

fastened her seatbelt,

and suddenly turned to look at Liang You'an: "Why don't you move in with us? You've seen it, the room is big and spacious, the rent isn't expensive, and we'd each have our own room. Wouldn't that be nice?"

"We'll see."

Liang You'an reached out and pulled Luo Le into her arms: "Moving is too much trouble. I'll think about it."

……

At the hospital,

in the emergency department building,

in the doctors' office,

while Xu Qin was busy filling out the shift handover form,

the head nurse poked her head in and said: "Dr. Xu, someone is looking for you."

"Hmm?"

Xu Qin was stunned for a moment: "Didn't we agree they'd come later? Why are they here so early?"

Filled with questions,

Xu Qin walked out of the office,

and saw Meng Yanchen, dressed in a suit, wearing glasses, and sporting a side-part hairstyle.

Xu Qin was immediately disappointed,

then squeezed out a faint smile: "Brother, why are you here?"

"I came to see you."

Meng Yanchen smiled and walked toward Xu Qin, then opened his arms.

Xu Qin immediately took a step back,

[Group: 255595300]

and silently pushed Meng Yanchen's hands away: "Brother, this is a hospital."

"I know."

Meng Yanchen persisted: "In a hospital, can't a brother hug his sister?"

"No."

Xu Qin refused directly,

then asked: "Brother, is there something you need?"

Meng Yanchen silently withdrew his hands and adjusted his glasses awkwardly: "Nothing much, I just got back, so I came to see you."

"By the way, aren't you off your night shift today? Are you done? If you're done, shall we go back together?"

"Not yet."

Xu Qin shook her head: "I have a lot of things to do. The handover form isn't finished, I haven't done the last round of patient checks, and I still need to look at a patient's CT results later. You should go back first..."

"No rush, I'll wait for you."

Meng Yanchen smiled: "No matter how late you're busy, I'll wait for you."

"..."

Xu Qin gave Meng Yanchen a speechless look,

considered it for a moment,

and then said directly: "Brother, I have plans later."

"Hmm?"

Meng Yanchen was suddenly a bit nervous: "A classmate or a best friend?"

"Neither."

Xu Qin didn't hesitate anymore and said directly: "My boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yanchen looked at Xu Qin seriously.

Seeing that Xu Qin's gaze didn't flinch in the slightest,

Meng Yanchen knew that this time, it might be real.

But...

Meng Yanchen hesitated for a moment,

a flash of heartache crossing his face,

but then he squeezed out a smile and said: "That's perfect, I'll meet your boyfriend later and help Mom and Dad vet him for you."

"Really, there's no need."

Xu Qin shook her head and refused again,

but Meng Yanchen persisted.

Helpless,

Xu Qin had to turn and walk into the office,

and sent a WeChat message to Qin Feng: "Qin Feng, are you almost here? My brother is here, right outside my office..."

"By the way, just now, to annoy my brother, I said you were my boyfriend, so..."

At this moment,

Qin Feng had just parked the car.

After reading Xu Qin's WeChat,

Qin Feng replied with a smile: "Alright, I know. I'll be up in a moment."

He stepped into the hospital.

The sunny and handsome Qin Feng

quickly attracted the attention of many young nurses,

who watched as Qin Feng walked step by step toward the information desk.
