Chapter 36 - Fired
Chapter 36: Fired
“Regardless, you saved my father, and I must thank you,” the patriarch of the Wang family said, shaking his head. He was a principled man and couldn’t neglect to properly thank Ye Chen for his significant help.
“If you insist on thanking me, some compensation would be appreciated,” Ye Chen suggested thoughtfully.
He had been in Linjiang City for a few days and realized that navigating this society without money was quite difficult. He came to treat illnesses primarily for the money.
“Of course, that can be arranged,” the patriarch readily agreed, asking for Ye Chen’s bank account details and transferring 10 million yuan without hesitation. Ye Chen did not refuse the money, considering it his rightful earnings.
“Mr. Wang, follow this prescription for the medicine,” Ye Chen handed the patriarch a prescription. “Take it three times a day, three grams each time, steeped in hot water. It will help the old master recover.”
“Uncle Wang, if there’s nothing else, we will take our leave now,” Lin Xiyan said.
“Thank you, young doctor. Take care, niece,” the patriarch responded as he watched Ye Chen and Lin Xiyan leave the Wang family compound.
“Any other patients for me to see?” Ye Chen asked Lin Xiyan once they were outside the compound.
“Not for now. I’ll let you know if anything comes up,” Lin Xiyan replied, shaking her head.
She had her own matters to attend to and couldn’t afford to wander aimlessly with Ye Chen. She instructed her bodyguards to take Ye Chen to Shen Corporation and then drove herself back to school.
“Mr. Ye, please,” the bodyguard said.
…
In the office of Shen Qingqiu at Shen Corporation, Jiang Che sat opposite her, quietly admiring her beauty.
“Have you not had enough of staring at me for an hour?” Shen Qingqiu lifted her head to glance at Jiang Che, slightly annoyed.
“Qingqiu, you are so beautiful, of course, I need to look more,” Jiang Che replied. No woman doesn’t like to be complimented, and Shen Qingqiu was no exception.
“Flatterer,” Shen Qingqiu playfully scolded him, though feeling pleased inside. She never cared about others’ opinions but valued Jiang Che’s view of her.
“I heard your fellow disciple was put in detention?” Jiang Che casually asked while massaging Shen Qingqiu, pretending to be unaware of the situation.
“Hmm~” Shen Qingqiu’s cheeks flushed, surprised by Jiang Che’s boldness. This was her office, after all! She felt secretly thrilled but didn’t understand Jiang Che’s peculiar fetish. As his fiancée, she felt obliged to indulge him.
“Did he commit some crime?” Jiang Che feigned ignorance.
“He allegedly forced himself on a woman and then got into a fight,” Shen Qingqiu muttered, her cheeks reddening further. The ticklish feeling was making her increasingly uncomfortable.
“Why didn’t you bail him out?” Jiang Che asked, genuinely puzzled. According to the news from the detention center, Ye Chen was eventually released by Lin Xiyan, and Shen Qingqiu hadn’t shown up at all.
“Hmph, I was blind before; he’s not a good person at all,” Shen Qingqiu coldly retorted, her disgust for Ye Chen evident. Despite their limited interactions over the years, she had thought Ye Chen to be fairly upright, and she was disappointed to learn of his actions.
Jiang Che contemplated quietly upon seeing Shen Qingqiu’s attitude. It seemed his decision to have Li Hu frame Ye Chen was correct, and everything had gone as he expected.
Even if Ye Chen was later proved innocent, Shen Qingqiu was unlikely to believe him. With Jiang Che’s own machinations, Ye Chen, despite being right, would find it hard to clear his name.
“Why have you stopped?” Shen Qingqiu, sensing Jiang Che’s halted movements, impulsively spoke out, immediately regretting her words and shyly lowering her head, too embarrassed to look up.
“Heh heh… here I come again!” Jiang Che chuckled, resuming his actions.
…
At the entrance of Shen Corporation, Ye Chen, escorted by Lin Xiyan’s bodyguard, quickly arrived. As he approached the entrance intending to visit his senior sister, the security guard stopped him.
“What’s the meaning of this, Fatty?” Ye Chen frowned at the chubby guard, clearly baffled. Did the guard dare to stop him after just three days?
“Mr. Ye, you’ve been fired from our company. Without a work ID, you cannot enter,” the guard informed him.
“What?” Ye Chen was taken aback, hardly believing what he heard. When was he fired, and why hadn’t he known about it?
“Who made this decision? Does my senior sister know about this?” Ye Chen asked coldly, suspecting that someone coveted his position as the head of security and had concocted a reason to fire him during his absence.
“You don’t know? It was President Shen’s order,” the guard said with a look of disbelief, finding Ye Chen’s ignorance strange.
“What?” Ye Chen was utterly bewildered now. He had been away for only three days, and his senior sister had fired him?
