Chapter 5
Donald Qin was startled by Fade Chen’s fierce eyes, but then he came to his senses in a quick while.
He frowned and said with a sour tone, "I said you are a thief, an uncivilized b*stard."
"Roar!"
With a roar, Fade Chen became angry in an instant. Fade Chen did not mind the insults, but for
someone who had been an orphan since his childhood, he would never bear with anyone insulting his
parents. Donald Qin had crossed his borders. At this moment, Fade Chen did not care about the
consequences; he just wanted to teach the guy a good lesson.
Taking a step forward, Fade Chen was at the front of Donald Qin in no time and Fade Chen swung his
fist.
Donald Qin did not expect Fade Chen to be so aggressive that he had no time to beware of Fade
Chen’s fist. Thus, Donald Qin was hit sharp in the face and he fell to the ground with blood all over his
face.
Fade Chen did not stop; instead he continued the fight. Fade Chen’s fists and kicks landed on Donald
Qin without any hesitation, sending Donald Qin into screams and shouts of pain.
The pain from the beating made Donald Qin wailed and shouted quickly for help. "Security guard,
security guard, what are you waiting for? Come and help me! Take this nut away! Quickly -"
All of a sudden, the security guards came to their senses and hurried forward to rescue Donald Qin.
However, the security guards did not expect Fade Chen to be so fierce that the security guards were
not his match.
Donald Qin was still being beaten up, his blood dripped down from his face.
Suddenly, a cold female voice was heard, "Stop! What are you doing?"
Trailing the source of the voice, everyone was shocked. They immediately bowed and whispered,
"President Lin!"
Fade Chen, who was in a furious state, also gradually calmed down when he saw Quin Lin walking
over to him. Finally, Fade Chen stopped the beating. Donald Qin covered his swollen cheeks and
shouted wildly, "Come on! Someone beat him to death!"
‘Shut up, all of you. Come to my office* Quin Lin said coldly. Then, she turned around and left.
Donald Qin glared at Fade Chen and followed Quin Lin. Fade Chen looked back at Donald Qin
expressionless and was about to follow them.
Just as Fade Chen was about to take his first step, Xenia Xu came over and persuaded him in a in a
soft voice, ‘Fade Chen, President Lin doesn’t favour people who talks back to her. Don't be impulsive in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfront of her.‘
‘I know. Thank you, Xenia!" Fade Chen smiled at Xenia Xu and waved his hand before following
Donald Qin and Quin Lin.
In the president’s office on the top floor.
Quin Lin’s eyes swept across Donald Qin’s whole figure. When Quin Lin saw Donald Qin’s bruises, she
said, ‘Secretary Qin, you may deal with your wound first."
When Donald Qin heard this, a smile formed on his lips. Donald Qin planned to get up and leave, but
when he thought that Fade Chen will be left alone with Quin Lin, he was afraid that Fade Chen might
tell Quin Lin the real situation.
Thinking of that, Donald Qin decided not to leave; instead, with a righteous look, he said "President Lin,
the matters of the company is more important. Let's solve the current problem first. My injury is
nothing."
Hearing this, Quin Lin looked at Donald Qin with a smile. Quin Lin nodded to Donald Qin and said,
"Then, Secretary Qin, have a sit and talk!"
"Thank you, President Lin." Donald Qin sat down and looked at Fade Chen proudly.
Quin Lin then looked away from Donald Qin and locked her gaze on Fade Chen, a sudden drop in her
tone, "Tell me, what's going on ?"
Fade Chen looked at the difference in Quin Lin's attitude towards the both of them; he felt
disappointed.
"Why aren't you speaking? Weren't you very active downstairs?" Quin Lin said coldly,
The voice woke Fade Chen from his thoughts. Fade Chen looked up at Quin Lin and said,
"I.......................... "
However, before Fade Chen could say anything, Donald Qin, who was sitting at the side, suddenly
spoke, "President Lin, speaking of this matter, it’s actually my fault. I did not manage my staff well, and
I did not solve the theft in the wisest way. Please punish me."
This statement startled both Fade Chen and Quin Lin.
Fade Chen immediately understood what was going on when he saw Quin Lin’s expression changing.
Donald Qin knew that this matter would likely become a debate between both parties, and Quin Lin
hated those who avoided responsibility the most. Therefore, Donald Qin took the initiative to admit his
mistake, portraying himself as someone with high sense of responsibility. At the same time, Donald Qin
was also able to put the name of "thief1 on Fade Chen.
Fade Chen had no choice but to admit that Donald Qin was indeed the secretary of the president’s
office. His survival skills in the workplace were indeed sinister.
After thinking it through, Fade Chen glared at Donald Qin and he tried to explain himself to Quin Lin.
However, it was obvious that this trick of Donald Qin worked very well on Quin Lin. Donald Qin’s
statement made Quin Lin relaxed and she looked at Donald Qin, "Secretary Qin, tell me, what’s going
on ?"
Covering his wound, Donald Qin frowned and sighed. Shaking his head gently, Donald Qin said,
‘President Lin, it's actually not a big deal."
‘On the afternoon, I heard that there was a newcomer in the medical room, and his skills were good. As
I didn't feel very well, I went to the medical room for treatment. didn't expect that this newcomer, Mr.
Chen, somehow seemed to have some misunderstandings with me and was not willing to diagnose
me.‘
‘At that time, I was agitated due to my illness, so I wanted to punish Mr. Chen for not doing his work
properly. In the end, Mr. Chen was also agitated and even wanted to fight me.‘
‘Of course I wouldn't fight him, so I called the security guard to stop him. When the security guard
started to take action, one of them accidentally found some pills on Fade Chen. I heard from Xenia Xu
who works in the medical room that those were imported pills, which was worth more than 10,000
Yuan.‘
‘Nonsense! I'll beat you to death!‘ Fade Chen was furious when he heard that Donald Qin was making
false statements and hiding the truth.
‘Stop, Fade Chenf Quin Lin frowned and shouted. The state Quin Lin threw at Fade Chen were filled
with even more dissatisfaction. At this moment, Quin Lin slightly regretted her decision of casually
finding this man to deal with the forced marriage.
At the same time, Fade Chen looked at Quin Lin and thought of their relationship. Fade Chen then took
a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the urge he felt to beat someone up. Fade Chen explained,
"President Lin, the situation is definitely not what Donald Qin had said. At that time, I-"
However, as soon as he spoke, Quin Lin interrupted him coldly. "I didn’t ask you to speak. I only want to
ask you a question. Is what Secretary Qin said true ?"
Fade Chen shook his head and said, "Of course not."
Donald Qin raised his eyebrows and interjected, "How dare you say it’s not true? Let me ask you,
which of the scenarios I’m telling is not true ? Besides, the imported pills have now been confiscated
from you, and this is a strong evidence. Do you want to deny it? In the end, it is also true that you have
beaten me up, isn’t it right?"
Those, I can explain. The matter - Fade Chen glared at Donald Qin and still tried to explain himself.
However, Quin Lin did not give him a chance as she already seemed to be a little impatient. Quin Lin
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwaved her hand to interrupt him and said coldly," Don’t make excuses. You just need to answer me.
Did what Secretary Qin say really happened ?"
Looking at Quin Lin’s cold eyes, Fade Chen felt a sudden pain in his heart, and then a feeling of
helplessness and sadness welled up in his heart. The anger and the desire to fight in him disappeared
in an instant.
Fade Chen's mouth twitched slightly and formed a bitter smile on his face. Fade Chen then flashed a
cynical evil smile and said, ‘Since President Lin already has an answer in your heart, then it doesn't
matter what I have to say. My answer is 'Yes."
Hearing this, disappointment flashed through Quin Lin's eyes, and it then turned into a formal look with
a little coldness. Quin Lin said, ‘Since you have admitted it, then there is nothing more to say. As you
are a newcomer, I will not fire you for the time being. However, you must be severely punished. Your
salary for two months will be deducted, and you shall make a self-review in front of all the staff in the
next company meeting."
After she finished her sentence, Quin Lin handed Fade Chen a document and coldly said, ‘This is an
announcement for your punishment. You may have a look; if there s no objection, this case is
considered settled.‘
‘It doesn't matter; it's up to you." Without even looking at the document, Fade Chen turned around and
walked towards the door of the office.
At this particular moment, Fade Chen had decided to leave. Although they were together because of
that incident, they were not from the same world after all. If this relationship continues, there will only
be more conflicts. If this was the case, it was better to leave.
As for ‘Ice Lotus", he did not actually care that much for the ‘Ice Lotus" at this moment.
Quin Lin looked at Fade Chen’s attitude and she immediately frowned with dissatisfaction. Quin Lin felt
that her punishment was actually light for Fade Chen. If it wasn’t for the special relationship between
them, Quin Lin would have dismissed him. Now, Fade Chen seems to be dissatisfied with the
punishment. ‘This guy—‘
A sense of disappointment surged in Quin Lin’s heart. Waving her hand, Quin Lin said, ‘You may leave
now!"
Fade Chen did not say anything and turned around to walk out of the office. Donald Qin, at this
moment, was full of arrogance and pride, as if he had won a battle.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a woman’s voice was heard. ‘President Lin, this is Lily
Wei. I have something important to be reported to you.‘
‘Lily Wei ?‘ Quin Lin paused for a moment, apparently, she was not expecting Lily Wei to come at this
hour. After a short pause, Quin Lin said, ‘Come in, Lily.
