[R18] Provoke (1V1H) – “Provocation (1V1H)” Chapter 174 Looking Lonely (4000+) [English]

Just when she was on guard, Li Xiaonan finally came to her. Qin Qing opened his mouth slightly and wanted to speak, but saw her turn around and walk straight past her without saying a word to her.

Qin Qing frowned in confusion and turned to look at her, only to see that her back was straight. Even when she left the company as a loser, she never showed any signs of losing her composure, did not ask hysterical questions, and did not show any crazy and unwilling hurt. She just left quietly like this. People who met the company along the way did not dare to point fingers at her demeanor.

At this moment, Qin Qing felt less bad about her. At least she was smarter than Yang Yiqian. At least she left herself with the last bit of dignity. Even if she lost and left the game, she still left with dignity.

Qin Qing shook his head. Although he didn’t know why Gu Shaoming suddenly resigned from her, Li Xiaonan was no longer concerned about her, so he didn’t pay too much attention to her. He pulled Tian Xin, who looked a little lonely, into the secretarial department.

“Actually, when we were friends with her before, she was very good to us and had a good personality. I also like her very much, but I don’t know why she suddenly became like this.” Tian Xin seemed to be remembering the past, with her eyes lowered and a look of disappointment on her face.

Qin Qing understands her feelings. Although she has never experienced it, she knows that her friend will suddenly show his dark side and become ferocious, and he will take advantage of her. She will definitely be hurt.

Although she seemed to hate Li Xiaonan very much before, after all, she was a friend who had made sacrifices, so it was inevitable that she still felt a little reluctant to let go.

Qin Qing touched her head. It was inappropriate for her to say anything at this time, so he could only comfort her silently.

As the two approached, the people next to them began to discuss quietly.

“Hey, Qin Qing is here. Do you think it was because Li Xiaonan offended her by falsely accusing Qin Qing, so he asked the president to fire her?”

“It’s probably because you didn’t see the way Li Xiaonan looked at her just now. I was a little scared. If it weren’t for her, why would Li Xiaonan be staring at her like that? And wasn’t Yang Yiqian the same last time? She was kicked out of the company because she offended her.”

“But I think Qin Qing is a bit too domineering. She can just ask the president to transfer people to other positions, but she just fires them. She is so cruel.”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect people to look gentle and gentle, but it turns out that they are like this…”

Qin Qing: “…” Why does this scene look so familiar?

They thought Qin Qing couldn’t hear them when they whispered, but Qin Qing really wanted to yell at them, please keep it down. She had a good ear, and she was even more sensitive when people heard people talking about her. She was also impressed by these people who gossiped in front of her.

However, after they reminded him, Qin Qing also remembered that the last time Yang Yiqian was fired, those people seemed to think that she was the one who instigated Gu Shaoming, and they seemed to say the same thing behind her back.

So, she took the blame for Gu Shaoming again?

Although Tian Xin next to her couldn’t hear as clearly as Qin Qing, she vaguely knew what they were talking about. She pulled Qin Qing’s sleeve nervously, leaned over and asked softly: “Sister Qingqing, they seem to be talking about you, why?”

Now that Li Xiaonan has resigned, shouldn’t she be discussed? Why is Qin Qing being discussed instead? Tian Xin doesn’t understand.

Qin Qing rolled his eyes, “Why? Why else? Of course it’s because I took the blame again.”

“Ah? Taking the blame? What are you taking the blame for?” Tian Xin looked at her in confusion, not quite understanding what Qin Qing meant.

Qin Qing sighed softly and said: “The matter may be a bit complicated and troublesome to talk about, but it’s not a big deal, so don’t ask, be good.”

“Oh.” Tian Xin nodded obediently and really didn’t ask any more questions.

Qin Qing couldn’t help but touch her soft hair again. She was so good to the heart.

“Go back, I’m going back to the office too.” The office she mentioned was naturally the president’s office.

Tian Xin also knew that he couldn’t be idle for too long during working hours, so he nodded and quickly returned to his post to continue working hard.

Qin Qing looked at the people talking secretly around him, sighed helplessly and returned to the president’s office.

In the office, Gu Shaoming seemed to be a little more relaxed now. He was holding a cup of coffee and flipping through the documents on the table casually. His expression was calm and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Seeing this, Qin Qing thought it was a good opportunity. He mustered up the courage to ask, “Gu…President, did you fire Li Xiaonan?”

Gu Shaoming raised his head when he heard this and nodded lightly, “It’s me, what?”

As expected, he took the blame, and Qin Qing curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

Gu Shaoming seemed to see through her thoughts, and his cold voice sounded, “Do you think I’m taking the blame? Then do you want to know why I fired her?”

“Why?” Qin Qing couldn’t help but asked curiously, hearing that there seemed to be something he didn’t know in his tone.

Gu Shaoming said: “Because of you.”

“Because of me?” Qin Qing’s eyes widened in surprise, and a vague thought flashed through his mind, but it was not very clear.

Gu Shaoming took a leisurely sip of coffee, and then continued slowly: “The conflict between you and she has affected the atmosphere of the company. She tried to frame you before, and even spread various rumors with various tricks before, which also made the company a mess. The conflict is caused by both of you, but you are also Mrs. Gu after all, so I naturally want to hold her accountable.”

He took it for granted, and even revealed that Qin Qing originally had the responsibility as his wife, so he didn’t pursue it, which is the so-called protection of shortcomings.

However, Qin Qing was not surprised at all by being protected from her shortcomings. How dare she protect her shortcomings even when she was innocent, she was just protecting her ass. This is not what true protection of one’s shortcomings looks like.

However, she did not expect that Li Xiaonan was fired for this reason. In this way, although it had no direct relationship with her, it was indirectly related. After all, to some extent, Gu Shaoming fired Li Xiaonan because he was protecting her.

Therefore, this pot is not considered black.

Thinking of this, Qin Qing lowered her face quite depressedly. So what those people outside said were not entirely wrong, but why was she so aggrieved? It was obviously not her idea, but she had to bear the consequences.

However, it turns out that there is no most aggrieved, only more aggrieved.

Just listen to Gu Shaoming continue to say: “Qin Qing, because of you, the company has lost two employees in a short period of time. Don’t you think you should compensate?”

Hearing this, Qin Qing suddenly raised his head and pointed at himself with a confused look on his face, “Should I compensate?”

What the hell?She considers herself quite innocent from beginning to end. Except for retaliating when the other party takes action, she has never taken the initiative to cause trouble. What’s more, she is not the one who wants to fire, it is Gu Shaoming who resigned. Now he puts all the responsibility on her, how shameless!

“It’s not my fault that they were fired, right? Why should I compensate?” Qin Qing retorted angrily.

Gu Shaoming, however, was very calm and said rationally: “Do you dare to say that you were not responsible for their dismissal?”

“…” Qin Qing choked and was a little dizzy at the same time. Gu Shaoming seemed to be right in saying this, but why was she so angry?

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Gu Shaoming continued with satisfaction: “So you will naturally have to compensate for this consequence.”

Qin Qing asked: “…how to compensate?”

“Of course I will take over Li Xiaonan’s job.” Gu Shaoming said matter-of-factly.

Qin Qing’s blood almost spurted on his face. Why did it suddenly turn into a situation where she was going to take over Li Xiaonan’s position? She originally just wanted to ask how he was abducted thousands of miles away.

She is about to become a real office worker inexplicably?

“Mr. Gu, can you change the compensation method? I can help the human resources department select new employees. Our Gu family is so famous, are we afraid that we can’t find a replacement?”

Qin Qing was so depressed that he stopped calling him CEO.

“No, don’t shirk your responsibilities onto others.” Gu Shaoming said with dissatisfaction on his face and sternly refused.

Qin Qing was almost frightened, and lowered his head with tears in his eyes, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

She knew that with Gu Shaoming’s uncompromising character, she would most likely become his labor force.Isn’t it good to let her be a peaceful rice insect? Why must she be tortured like this!

The protest was ineffective, so Qin Qing could only keep silent and accept his miserable fate.

“Since you agree, let’s go to Assistant Lin to hand over the work now. He will tell you what work you need to do.” Gu Shaoming ordered vigorously and resolutely, leaving no room for Qin Qing to refuse.

Qin Qing curled his lips, feeling aggrieved by such a forced handover, but unable to say anything, so he nodded and left the office to find Assistant Lin.

Assistant Lin’s office was right outside the president’s office, very close. Qin Qing knocked on the door and walked in, “Assistant Lin?”

Lin Feng was in front of the computer at this time. The computer screen was reflected on He’s glasses, and he could vaguely see the data on it beating constantly. He’s hands were flying on the keyboard, and he was typing the keyboard loudly.

When he heard someone coming in, he stopped what he was doing and looked up at the person. He was a little surprised to see it was Qin Qing and asked: “Miss Qin? Do you have anything to do with me?”

Qin Qing raised his paw to say hello to he, and said listlessly: “Mr. Gu asked me to come to you to take over Li Xiaonan’s work.”

Lin Feng’s eyes were surprised for a moment, and then he showed a look of surprise, and said with a smile: “I see, please wait a moment, I will bring you the compiled documents.”

Before getting off work last night, the president asked him to sort out the work and information that Li Xiaonan was usually responsible for and wait for someone to hand it over. At that time, he knew that the president was going to fire Li Xiaonan. Speaking of things that the president knew, he was the one who checked it out.

However, I didn’t expect that the person sent by the president to hand over the job was Qin Qing. When I saw he specifically ordered it, I thought he was interested in some talent, so he added some high-quality work last night, and it turned out that he was preparing for Qin Qing.

Qin Qing looked sad, but when he saw the thick pile of documents handed over by Assistant Lin, his eyes widened immediately and he stammered: “These…am I responsible for all of these?”

The pile of documents almost reached Lin Feng’s chin. He immediately placed all the documents in his arms in front of Qin Qing, then clapped his hands and nodded with a straight face, “Yes.”

Even after guessing this answer, Qin Qing still couldn’t help but feel dizzy. God, it was already a headache for her to have to handle one or two tasks on weekdays, but now she was asked to take care of so many things all at once, and she had to live.

Seeing that Qin Qing’s expression was a bit broken, Lin Feng couldn’t help but shook his head and said: “Miss Qin, in fact, some of these documents are similar, and there are also some projects that are not difficult to deal with. Except that it may be a bit difficult at the beginning, once you get familiar with it, you will get comfortable.”

At least this is a piece of cake for him. After all, the working ability of the president’s special assistant is not just a boast, so it is inevitable that Qin Qing’s reaction is a bit exaggerated.

Qin Qing knew that Assistant Lin was comforting herself, but she couldn’t help but cursed that it hurt to stand and talk. She, a rookie with no experience, had to do these secretarial tasks, which was indeed a bit reluctant for her.

But there was nothing she could do about it, and now she was not qualified to refuse, so she could only sigh as if resigned to her fate, cheer up and said: “Assistant Lin, please tell me specifically what kind of work it is. It would be better for me to have a black eye.”

Even though she had helped handle some affairs before, she was still a rookie.As a rookie, you have to be open-minded and ask for advice. Now that Lin Feng can be said to be the most capable person in the company, he naturally has to make use of such a good resource.

It’s okay if you don’t do it, but since you really have to do it, you still have to work hard to do it well!
