Chapter 317 - A Pleasing Thing

Chapter 317 A Pleasing Thing

Why was she sacked out of the blue this time? Xia Yu was also very shocked. She asked Xiao Tang hurriedly, "Why did Shen Yan fire Li Qin?"

There must have been a reason behind it.

"There's a rumor in the company that Bitch Qin wants to seduce Assistant Liu. A colleague saw with his own eyes that she was a little disheveled and went out of Assistant Liu's office in a panic yesterday. Hum! How could that bitch regard herself as beautiful as a goddess? She should take out a mirror to see herself clearly, an old woman in her thirties. A good man like Assistant Liu could by no means be easily seduced by her. Bitch Qin was beyond her reach!"

When Xiao Tang spoke of Li Qin, she wore a disdainful and abhorrent look.

"Oh, I see."

How dramatic it was! Xia Yu didn't have a good impression on Li Qin. An accountant of a big company was so mean. She made up various excuses to block employees from claiming a business trip expense or something.

Sometimes, people spared themselves from the bother of talking nonsense with her and withdrew their expense application if the expense was not much. Then Li Qin would take the advantage to find some receipts everywhere to embezzle their money secretly.

For those who had a long business trip or whose expense involved was too large to be claim, they had to bribe her with a meal or a gift to get back the payment which they deserved. Only by that would they be allowed to claim the payment. Xia Yu looked down upon what Li Qin did. What a mean person she was! Although she was capable of work, she didn't have a decent personality. So Xia Yu didn't sympathize with her in her mind when hearing that she was sacked.

At this moment, Cai Yanyan went to them and joined in their talk. When she knew Li Qin was sacked, she immediately applauded and exclaimed, which showed that Li Qin didn't have a good reputation in the company.

"Wow! The air becomes much fresher in the company. I want to treat Assistant Liu in the evening to thank him sincerely."

Xiao Tang wore an exaggerated facial expression, which amused Xia Yu and Cai Yanyan to laugh.

Xiao Tang was expected to just make a joke about the "treat". Nobody knew that she really did ask Liu Sijie to have the barbecue near the company together with Xia Yu and Cai Yanyan.

Liu Sijie was confused at first, actually not knowing why Xiao Tang invited him to have a meal. He had intended to decline, but Xia Yu and Cai Yanyan urged him aside to accept. So he finally agreed.

Xia Yu kept laughing aside when seeing his expression.

Liu Sijie took a chance and asked Xia Yu, "What happened?"

Xia Yu laughed more happily. "That's because someone is very charming." She looked at Liu Sijie carefully and found that he was so handsome indeed.

Gazed at by Xia Yu, Liu Sijie started to sweat, really not understanding it was about "charming". "Xia Yu, stop teasing me!"

Seeing him become anxious, Xia Yu told him that Li Qin was sacked and all the employees in the company thought it was a very pleasing thing.

"Oh, I see."

Liu Sijie finally figured out why they invited him to dinner and wore a smile. Meanwhile, he was also relieved because he had to pay attention to his behaviors, considering there were so many women in Tengfei who had an affection for him.

As a man, he would not care if there was gossip about him, but he didn't want to break girls' hearts, which was so bad.

"Actually, to fire Li Qin was not my own decision. I happened to be on the phone with Young Master Yan yesterday, and I also told him about Li Qin's thing. He directly advised to fire her to save the company from disorder.

"Oh! Why didn't you tell me earlier? We could have invited Young Master Yan as well." Xiao Tang grinned. Just then, she picked up the beer bottle on the table and filled everyone's glass.

Young Master Yan was so competent! How many of the former leaders of the company did the practical work? And they swaggered in the company just because they were either the classmates of some executives or the relatives of them. They thought that the achievements were credited to them while the fault was ascribed to others.

Those junior employees got so angry but dared not speak out. But Young Master Yan drove them to retirement directly, which made employees feel so delighted. Now he also fired Li Qin to remove a black sheep, making the company a clean place to work in.

"Come on! Cheers! Celebrate the leaving of a seductive woman from our company!"

"Poof! Ha-ha! Sister Xiao Tang, it's a suitable description of her!" Cai Yanyan laughed out loud after hearing her last sentence.

Xiao Tang was so happy today that she drank a lot. Xia Yu and Cai Yanyan sent her back home. When they arrived home, Xiao Tang was in a deep sleep already. The other two people carried her out of the car first and carried her from the community to her bed. Although Xiao Tang was not thin and she was so tall, it took them nearly half an hour to get her home. After that, they were exhausted to breathe heavily.

"Xia Yu, I will stay here and take care of her tonight. Don't worry." Cai Yanyan said to Xia Yu while carrying a basin of water from the bathroom to the bedroom. She dampened the towel and washed Xiao Tang's face.

"OK. I will go back home first." Xia Yu picked up her bag and left, thinking Cai Yanyan was able to stay here to take care of Xiao Tang.

When she got to the community, it was already 10 p.m. She didn't expect that she came across Feng Tianliang again, who wore a sports suit and was running. He stopped and greeted Xia Yu after seeing her.

"It's so late. Why are you still running?" Xia Yu asked.

"It's my personal habit. I like running at night. Did you work overtime so late today?" He used the towel which hung around his neck to wipe his face and said with a smile.

"No. I come back so late because I just had a dinner party with some colleagues." Xia Yu answered.

He nodded in reply. They parted after having a quick chat.

When she came back home, she saw Liu Sijie and Shen Yan sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Xia Yu felt like laughing at the sight of Liu Sijie. She had never realized that Liu Sijie was so well received at the company all the time. Li Qin became an eyesore to everyone when she just appeared in his office. So, when she was sacked, not only no one sympathized with her, but also Xiao Tang held a dinner party.

Seeing that Xia Yu had a special smile today, Shen Yan looked at her first and then took a glance at Liu Sijie. He drew Xia Yu to sit near him. "Did I miss something?"

Xia Yu nodded with a smile.

Shen Yan pointed to Liu Sijie aside and asked, "Related to him?"

Xia Yu nodded again.

Liu Sijie explained in a hurry. "It's not related to me. It's the decision of our company to fire her."

When it came to Li Qin, Liu Sijie still felt frightened in his mind now. Normally, when someone was informed to leave, she would leave at once. However, she ran directly to Liu Sijie's office and made a scene unexpectedly.

Liu Sijie tried to ignore her, but she should take off her clothes, which was beyond his expectation and endurance.

"What's on earth going on?" Xia Yu didn't believe that Li Qin was fired by the company out of some trivial reasons.

Liu Sijie took a glance at Xia Yu and said, "It is related to a fraud insurance case. You don't know it because you didn't work in the company at that time."

Shen Yan hadn't intended to let Xia Yu know about it. But somehow, Manager Hao of the insurance company was determined to sue Tengfei recklessly.

If so, it was impossible to keep Xia Yu from knowing it.

"Li Qin was also involved?" Xia Yu asked.

"Yes. That's why we decided to fire her. But she was discontent and insisted that I should take a bigger responsibility because I signed it. Later, Liu Sijie invited her to his office to enlighten her with reason, but she suddenly made a scene, which was beyond his expectation." Shen Yan wanted to thank Liu Sijie. But for his asking her leave, Shen Yan would have got trouble finally.

It could be said that Liu Sijie suffered from a disaster for him. Otherwise, she would have taken off her clothes in Shen Yan's office.

"Then, hand her over to the judicial department." They could figure it out if they wanted to. However, under such a circumstance, it would cause a storm if Tengfei's fault was exposed.

Xia Yu looked at Shen Yan, only to see that Shen Yan nodded to her. "You are right. Their target is the project of the development area. Now Zeng Ziqiang is so anxious, and my elder brother wants to make one last attempt."

"A clean hand wants no washing. Isn't it a pet phrase of you? They want to take advantage of the public opinion. If we solve the problem before it gets worse, the impact will be small." Since the thing had happened, Xia Yu was always optimistic.

Liu Sijie also said aside, "Xia Yu is right. Though it is a little exaggerated for Xiao Tang to treat us, it shows that Li Qin doesn't have a good reputation in the company. Even if she makes a scene, we can still solve the problem as long as we find the defendant before the court date."

Shen Yan certainly believed that a fraud insurance case was not a big deal. But it was like a fly, endlessly flying around in front of him. Although it was not lethal, it made him feel disgusted if he did not deal with it. But if he dealt with it, it was a waste of time.

Perhaps, this was what Shen Mo wanted, making Shen Yan harassed with many small cases and preventing him from focusing on his work completely.

Later, they continued their chat for a while and then went back to the room to have a rest.

Xia Yu still went to work as usual. As they expected, Li Qin pretended to be innocent and called for sympathy from the major media. Tengfei withdrew itself hard from the spotlight for only a few days, and now became a place for the reporters to gather again.

Liu Sijie was in charge of this case by himself. But Xia Yu was a core person in the company as well as a target for the reporters, so she was careful on duty and off duty.

Due to the adequate preparation, she avoided all the reporters on her way. But she always came across Feng Tianliang at work and after work, several days after knowing him. Nobody knew whether it was a coincident or a fate. As the two people became familiar gradually, Xia Yu specially invited him to dinner this day to thank him for returning her wallet last time.

During the dinner, it was unknown whether Xia Yu was too sensitive, and she had a feeling that someone was staring at them all the time, which made her feel so nervous that the body hairs on her back were erect. She looked back constantly, carefully scanning every corner behind her to find anyone suspicious, but it was in vain.

"Xia Yu, what are you looking at?" Seeing Xia Yu was absent-minded, Feng Tianliang asked with concern subconsciously.

"I always feel that someone is watching me secretly. Do you feel it as well?" Xia Yu didn't want to conceal, and she wanted to know his feeling about it to see if she was too sensitive.

He shook his head and said, "No. Are you too sensitive to have a misconception?"

Xia Yu rubbed the muscle between her eyebrows. "Maybe!" Although she said so, she still felt a little anxious in her mind because her sense was always reliable.

"The ribs taste good. You should eat more." Feng Tianliang sandwiched two ribs in Xia Yu's bowl, which was a little intimate.

Xia Yu said in a hurry, "You don't have to do that. Help yourself."

He faintly grunted assent and didn't pick up food for Xia Yu anymore. Maybe, he also noticed that Xia Yu didn't like his behavior.

Although there were some incidents during the dinner, it was very pleasant generally. Feng Tianliang looked so aloof superficially, but he was found to be very humorous slowly when getting along with him. Xia Yu had thought he was a model before. But when they talked about their job, she got to know that he was a sales manager of a company.

"Considering Mr. Feng's good shape, you can be a model." He had not only a good shape but also sculpture-like facial features which were a little like those of Europeans and Americans.

"That is what people often say. By the way, don't call me Mr. Please call me Feng Tianliang or Tianliang."

His deep eyes stared at Xia Yu. He suddenly reached out his hand to her head after he finished his words, which made her a little unresponsive. Before she could take any action, he withdrew his hand already and smiled, "There was something on your head just now. I moved it away for you."

"Oh, thanks. In fact, you could have told me that, so I would deal with it by myself." Actually, she minded his intimate behaviors a little. Xia Yu seldom had the intimate behaviors with males.

He nodded while smiling. His eye looking at Xia Yu was a little complicated, which made Xia Yu feel confused. And she got a little anxious in her mind.

After Xia Yu paid the bill, they left the restaurant. Since they ate the meal near the community, they went back to the community together. On the way, she had the same feeling of being watched secretly again. She frowned and suddenly looked back, only to see a couple not far away behind her. They were talking and laughing. They did not look like suspicious people, so Xia Yu just turned around.

Feng Tianliang looked at Xia Yu with a little confusion. But Xia Yu didn't explain to him. He did not leave until he sent Xia Yu back to the building where she lived.
