Chapter 545 Everyone is Threatening Him

Qiao Hongcai left home and received another call from the company.

Mr. Qian urged on the phone, "Are you sure you can handle things with S&C? I've really bragged to the higher-ups. If this falls through, the consequences for the company will be irreparable. I hope you understand that!"

Qiao Hong's mind was in complete turmoil. President Qian's voice was like adding fuel to the fire. He lost his temper and yelled into the phone, "I already said next month at the latest. You keep urging me. Do you expect me to kidnap someone and bring them to the company?!"

The moment those words left his mouth, Qiao Hong regretted them.

But it was clearly too late to take it back. Mr. Qian's pent-up anger flared instantly, and he said furiously on the phone:

"Qiao Hong, you've really grown bold, haven't you? Now you dare to yell at me! Let me tell you, if you don't handle this matter properly, you're getting out of the company, out of Chongqing! I'll make sure you're completely disgraced!"

This statement is exactly the same as Cao Yun's.

Everyone is threatening him.

Cao Yun doesn't want him to have an easy time, Qiao Ying doesn't understand him, and now even the people in the company are pressuring him relentlessly.

The person who caused all of this was himself.

He had no choice but to calm himself down and apologize to Mr. Qian in order to save his job and reputation.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qian, I got too emotional just now. Don't worry, I will handle this matter well, and there won't be any problems with S&C. Don't worry!"

Mr. Qian snorted coldly, "You'd better be!"

He then hung up the phone.

Qiao Hong gripped his phone tightly, wishing he could smash it on the ground.

Just then, the phone rang again.

Qiao Hong glanced at the number; it was Xu Meimei calling.

Qiao Hong's face darkened even more, and he hung up the phone without hesitation.

But Xu Meimei was not giving up and called again, but Qiao Hong hung up once more.

This went on for several times until Qiao Hong lost his patience and simply turned off the phone.

He's annoyed, and Xu Meimei isn't having a good time either.

There were already many rumors about her being brought to the company by Qiao Hong, and this exposure of the matter has caused her to lose face completely.

She no longer had the face to stay at the company.

But she couldn't go back to where she used to be, and she didn't want to go back to work in that run-down place. She had nowhere to go, and if she stayed at the company, she had to convince everyone that she and Qiao Hong weren't having an affair.

She wanted Qiao Hong to acknowledge their relationship so that she could stay at the company.

Qiao Hong certainly knew what Xu Meimei meant; it was exactly what he was thinking too.

Mr. Qian's meaning was quite clear: if he couldn't secure the deal with S&C, he would definitely fire him from the company because of this.

However, Cao Yun was adamant about not getting a divorce, and they couldn't contact Qiao Xing.

Neither of these two things is easy to handle.

After turning off the phone, Qiao Hong felt much quieter and more alert.

He knew that Qiao Xing was no longer a reliable candidate to persuade Qin Ce to cooperate with President Qian, so he had no choice but to turn to Wang Qin.

When Wang Qin was about to leave work, she called Xi Xi.

Xixi has become much more familiar with taking the bus these past few days.

Basically, Wang Qin doesn't need to take her; she can go to the bus stop by herself and has memorized the time information for each bus route.

Wang Qin felt somewhat relieved; Qiao Hong's incident had actually made Xi Xi much more independent.

Otherwise, she would never have known how to help Xixi adapt to these things on her own.

Xi Xi said on the phone that she had already boarded the bus. After listening, Wang Qin gave her a few instructions, and it was also time to get off work. As she hung up the phone, she walked out, intending to take Xi Xi out for dinner first.

She hadn't walked two steps after leaving the store when she ran into the person she least wanted to see.

Wang Qin suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned around almost without hesitation, and quickly walked in the opposite direction.

"Wang Qin!" Qiao Hong quickly caught up. "Wait! I have something to tell you!"

Wang Qin acted as if she hadn't heard him, and walked away with her head down.

Because she was walking too fast, she accidentally bumped into a passerby, and she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry."

Qiao Hong followed closely, "Wang Qin, listen to me first, I came to find you..."

Wang Qin wanted to get away from him as soon as possible, but in her haste she took the wrong turn. Worried that Xi Xi wouldn't be able to find her when she came back, she had no choice but to turn back.

As soon as she turned around, Qiao Hong blocked her way again.

Wang Qin said urgently, "I have nothing to say to you, please move aside!"

"Wang Qin, people say that even a night of marriage brings a hundred days of kindness. We've been together for so many years, are you really going to be so heartless!"

This man suddenly appeared in front of her, playing the victim, and pestered her every few days. She knew in her heart that he definitely didn't want to get back together with her, but rather wanted to get something out of Qiao Xing through her.

She couldn't let him have his way.

In short, she avoided him like the plague and felt no pity for him whatsoever.

"There's nothing between us anymore. There's no such thing as absolute ruthlessness. If you keep harassing me, I'll really call the police!"

Wang Qin's threats had no effect on Qiao Hong. At this point, he was more afraid of being disgraced than of the police.

"Qinqin, I'm begging you, only you can help me now. Please, for the sake of the day I saved your daughter, don't just stand by and watch her die, okay?"

Wang Qin's expression suddenly turned cold, and she shoved Qiao Hong away. "You still dare to talk! That whole thing was a staged performance by you! You're just as shameless and unscrupulous as ever, capable of doing something like this! Get out of here! I don't want to see you again!"

If she hadn't accidentally seen those two young people yesterday and overheard them mentioning that someone had paid them two thousand yuan to act, Wang Qin would have really thought that Qiao Hong had helped them.

Caught off guard, Qiao Hong's face showed a hint of guilt, but other than that, he felt no remorse whatsoever. Instead, he tried to explain his actions, "I'm sorry, Qinqin. I was forced into this situation. I know you wouldn't help me if I didn't do this. Qiao Xing doesn't acknowledge me as his father. I had no other choice but to do this. Qinqin, I'm begging you, please let Qiao Xing see me, okay?"

Just as Wang Qin had thought, his elaborate schemes were not simply aimed at seeing her.

No, it should be Qin Ce, not Qiao Xing.

Wang Qin looked at him with disdain, "Qiao Xing refusing to acknowledge you is your own fault. If I were her, I would want to skin you alive! I don't care why you want to see her. If you're so capable, go find her yourself. This has nothing to do with me. I can't help you, and I won't help you!"

"Qinqin, I..."

Wang Qin said with disgust, "Don't call me Qinqin anymore! Do you know how disgusting your face is right now? Get out of here, get far away from me, and never show your face again!"
