Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 38 Utterly Destroyed

Liu Xin completely disregarded Xiang Yiting's last words, even scoffing at them.

Is he hoping for the best?

Ha, Xie Qing is just a minor celebrity who's not very famous. Although participating in this variety show has given him some popularity and fans, that's all he has. He doesn't have any powerful connections. Do you really think anyone can bring him down?

I just don't know if Manager Chen and his team succeeded. If they didn't, wouldn't the promised benefits be lost?

No, I have to call and ask about the situation.

Liu Xin held a tissue in one hand to stop the bleeding from her nose, and with the other hand, she took out her phone from her pocket and quickly dialed Chen Wei's number.

As soon as the call connected, Liu Xin switched to a fawning tone, "Manager Chen, it's me, Liu Xin!"

However, a furious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Liu Xin, you bastard, how dare you scheme against me! You told me Xie Qing had no background, what a load of bull! You've ruined me!"

Lying in the hospital bed, Chen Wei thought about how his leg had been broken and he had lost his job. He felt a deep resentment towards Liu Xin, thinking that if Liu Xin hadn't failed to find out Xie Qing's identity, he wouldn't have suffered like this. He wanted to curse Liu Xin's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Liu Xin's heart pounded, and a bad premonition swept through her body. "Manager Chen, what... what does this mean? Xie Qing is just a country bumpkin, what kind of background could he have?"

Chen Wei roared, "Don't you dare play dumb with me, Liu Xin, I'm not done with you yet!"

"Manager Chen, the benefits you promised me..."

"You still want benefits? Let me tell you, you won't get a single penny."

Liu Xin's face darkened. "Manager Chen, you can't just turn your back on us! Hello... hello."

I checked my phone and found that the other person had already hung up.

He was extremely frustrated. Not only did he not get any benefits, but he also lost a capable and genuinely kind old classmate. It was a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

As the saying goes, when you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause you to choke.

Just then, Liu Xin was feeling annoyed when her secretary, Jenny, rushed into the office, shouting, "Something terrible has happened, Mr. Liu..."

His gaze fell on his boss's bruised and swollen face, and he was so surprised that he couldn't come to his senses for a long time, and for a moment he forgot to say anything.

Who...who did this?! Absolutely amazing!!!

To be honest, she had been annoyed with Liu Xin for a long time. Being his secretary was secondary; she also had to constantly protect his ridiculous self-esteem and, when he talked about his grand ambitions, she had to play the straight man and praise him, even if she thought he was daydreaming.

All the money she earned was compensation for emotional distress!

Seeing that the man remained silent for a long time, Liu Xin became impatient and said unhappily, "What's wrong? Explain yourself clearly."

Jenny: "Mr. Liu, the legal team from the Huo Group has come to our company."

The Huo Group!!!

Is this the Huo family he's thinking of?!

Liu Xin's heart tightened, and his face turned extremely ugly. The Huo Group was a leading conglomerate both domestically and internationally, with immense strength and a powerful background. It was not something a small company like his could afford to offend.

His heart was pounding. What were the legal representatives from the Huo Group doing here?!

His intuition told him it was definitely not a good thing, but he racked his brains trying to figure out what kind of dispute his insignificant little company had with the Huo family.

As soon as he finished speaking, five men in suits pushed open the door and entered. The one in the lead had a refined appearance and seemed very polite, but Liu Xin could sense that this man was not as simple as he appeared.

Fang Zhimiao, who was in the lead, stepped forward with a polite smile on his face. "Hello, I am Fang Zhimiao, a lawyer from Huo's Group. Because you are suspected of fraud and indirectly caused injury to my client, I wonder if you would be interested in having a chat with me."

Fang Zhimiao was poor and lived a hard life from childhood, but through his own efforts, he was admitted to the top political and law university in the country and successfully graduated from there.

After becoming a lawyer, he maintained a perfect record of zero losses and founded his own law firm. All the members of the firm were top-notch talents, but it is unknown when he joined the Huo family.

Fang Zhimiao's most talked-about achievement was sending the plaintiff, the defendant, and the person who banged the gavel to work on a sewing machine.

It can be said that when they go berserk, they kill indiscriminately, completely indiscriminate in their dealings with friend and foe.

Upon hearing this name, Liu Xin's face turned deathly pale; she felt as if the sky was about to fall.

Filled with fear yet still clinging to a sliver of hope, he asked tremblingly, "Who is your client?"

Fang Zhimiao smiled as usual and slowly uttered two words, "Xie Qing".

These two simple words struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving him instantly dizzy and disoriented.

We're doomed! We're completely finished!

……

Xie Qing slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was still that familiar white.

Well, looks like he's in the hospital again.

Although he had regained consciousness, he remained lying quietly in his hospital bed, not moving, recalling the dream he had just had.

He dreamed of a child he helped when he was eight years old, even though he was a child himself back then.

That child is so sweet and gentle, he blushes easily when teased, and he'll call you "brother" when you ask him to; he's very obedient.

Xie Qingting liked the child. It was obvious that the little boy also liked her, and even said he would come to play with her the next day.

However, the truth is that Xie Qing waited in the same spot for several days after that day, but never saw the little boy again.

It makes sense, judging from the clothes and shoes the boy was wearing, he came from a wealthy family. Such a rich kid must have no shortage of playmates, so it's understandable that he forgot himself.

So much time has passed, and the image of that little boy from back then has become blurred, but this incident left a hurdle in the mind of eight-year-old Xie Qing.

It taught him that he should never have too many expectations of others, because the more expectations he has, the more upset he will be.

Xie Qing pulled herself out of her thoughts and struggled to sit up.

The slight noise startled Huo Yunting, who had been standing guard beside him.
