Xia Qingqing stood behind them, wearing a pure white dress, her voice soft and weak, her entire being like a delicate little white flower, eliciting pity and favor.
Xia Qingqing was very beautiful, her skin snow-white with a hint of sickliness, her features innocent and pitiful, and her big eyes filled with naivety and confusion.
Indeed, she had the capital to make people instinctively feel heartache and favoritism.
Xia Qingqing gently walked to He Hansheng’s side, looking at the tense atmosphere in front of her, and asked softly and gently.
“What happened? Brother Hansheng, you seem very angry.”
When Qin An saw Xia Qingqing, it was as if he had seen a lifeline.
His voice carried a hint of grievance.
“Miss Xia, the president is firing me.”
As he complained to Xia Qingqing, his eyes, filled with malice, landed on Xu Xingran.
It was as if he was accusing her, implying that He Hansheng firing him was because of Xu Xingran.
A look of surprise flashed across Xia Qingqing’s delicate face, and she turned to look at He Hansheng.
” Brother Hansheng, did Brother Qin An do something wrong? Why should he be fired? Brother Qin An has always worked very hard, and it hasn’t been easy for him to get where he is today. If someone…”
Xia Qingqing glanced at Xu Xingran, seemingly hinting at something.
“Brother Hansheng, please give Brother Qin An another chance. He hasn’t had it easy.”
Xu Xingran was amused by this obvious accusation and couldn’t help but laugh.
These people were all such drama queens!
They loved to act so much!
She was willing to play along!
She looked at He Hansheng and, mimicking Xia Qingqing’s tone, began to speak in a pretentious manner.
“Brother Hansheng, Brother Qin An has worked very hard. Even if he takes on private jobs and reveals the bottom price of contracts, that’s no reason to fire him. It hasn’t been easy for him to come out of the mountains. You should forgive him.”
Qin An’s face changed.
Xia Qingqing, on the other hand, looked at Xu Xingran with heartache and disappointment.
“Xingran, you’ve gone too far. To make Brother Hansheng fire Brother Qin An, you actually said such irresponsible words! Do you know how much impact your words will have on Brother Qin An? He’ll be blacklisted by the entire industry!”
Xu Xingran sneered at her, “So you know that speaking carelessly can have a negative impact on people? Weren’t you so confident when you spoke in a roundabout way, implying that I made Brother Hansheng fire Qin An? Hmph! You people are really funny. If I had the ability to make Brother Hansheng fire Qin An, would Qin An still be here?”
Xu Xingran wasn’t without her moments of coquetry in front of He Hansheng. Qin An had done many excessive things, and she had complained to He Hansheng about him.
But what was the result?
“Don’t be unreasonable,” “Don’t interfere with company matters,” “Stop making a fuss”…
If He Hansheng was really going to fire Qin An for her, he would have done it long ago.
Why He Hansheng fired Qin An today was entirely his own reason, and it had nothing to do with her.
She wouldn’t be so narcissistic as to think that He Hansheng firing Qin An was for her sake!
However, when she mentioned Qin An taking on private jobs and revealing the bottom price of contracts, why did Qin An’s reaction seem off?
Could it be that she hit the nail on the head?
Xia Qingqing glared at her angrily, “If not for you, why would Brother Hansheng fire Brother Qin An for no reason?”
Xu Xingran shrugged.
“You should ask He Hansheng that, not me. I’m not a mind reader.”
In an instant, she turned to Qin An with a smile.
“If you haven’t done anything to betray the company, there’s no need to be nervous. But if you have done something…”
Qin An’s guilty conscience made his brow furrow, and he lunged at Xu Xingran, ready to hit her.
However, because he was too nervous and too guilty, he tripped over a table leg and fell face-first onto the ground.
Xu Xingran covered her mouth.
“Oh! You’re in trouble!”
Her words were a reminder to He Hansheng.
She had a habit of speaking ill of things, and it often came true.
She cursed Qin An, and Qin An really got into trouble.
This indicated that Qin An had indeed done something harmful to the company.
Xu Xingran did this not to help He Hansheng, but because his company had provided opportunities to many people. If someone like Qin An caused significant losses, it would affect others, which would be very unworthy.
Already guilty, Qin An’s emotions twisted after such a fall and making a fool of himself. He got up and swung his hand at Xu Xingran’s face, his expression hideous and his eyes filled with malice, as if he wanted to tear her apart.
But his hand didn’t land; it was caught by He Hansheng.
He Hansheng’s sinister gaze fell upon him.
“Qin An, hitting my person in front of me, who gave you the courage?”
He Hansheng forcefully flung Qin An’s hand away, causing Qin An to stagger backward several steps, his face turning pale.
Hu Fei watched from the side, her heart pounding with fear.
Qin An had truly lost his mind, gone crazy.
He Hansheng was still there, and he actually dared to hit Xu Xingran.
Some things could be done in private, but doing them in front of He Hansheng was simply courting death.
Qin An also belatedly realized that his behavior in front of He Hansheng had been excessive.
He had previously not taken Xu Xingran seriously at all, so when he was humiliated by her, he momentarily lost his rationality.
“President, I…”
Xia Qingqing spoke softly, ” Brother Hansheng, it’s not Brother Qin An’s fault. It’s because Xingran provoked him…”
“Shut up!”
He Hansheng coldly interrupted her.
“Do I need your permission to fire a traitor who betrays the company?”
He Hansheng was naturally a cold person, and just standing there, his aura as a superior was overwhelming, making people feel immense pressure.
He had been watching for so long, and Qin An really had no respect for Xu Xingran at all.
And he dared to hit Xu Xingran in front of him!
How dare he?!
Xia Qingqing fell silent, her face turning pale.
This was the first time since they had known each other that He Hansheng had shown her a cold face.
She didn’t dare to speak anymore.
He Hansheng looked at Qin An coldly.
“I will have someone investigate what you’ve done, and I will hold you legally accountable for your actions. Now, get out!”
Qin An, upon hearing these words, trembled uncontrollably.
The things he had done… if He Hansheng really found out and pursued them, he would go to prison.
He didn’t dare to stay any longer and could only slink away and flee.
