Chapter 111: Hindsight
He Tingchen's eyes were gloomy, like a Shura walking out of hell.
"You should know I don't like to hear nonsense. Go back to the company and resign."
The assistant's eyes widened in horror: "Mr. He, you...can't you give me another chance? I really have my reasons. My child has leukemia."
"He's only three years old. I can't just give up on him like this. The medical bills are so high that I can't afford it. Mr. He, please, for the sake of me having been with you for so many years, let me go this time."
He Tingchen's attitude was firm.
"Since you've been with me for so many years, you should know my temper. Once I make a decision, I won't change it."
Lin Rushang didn't want to interfere in the affairs of He Tingchen's company.
But from her point of view, Lin Rushang might take some factors into consideration.
But He Tingchen is obviously not the kind of person who would sympathize with others casually.
The assistant felt as if the sky had fallen on him.
"Mr. He, I really didn't do it on purpose. I was forced to do it. Think about it, if I didn't do this, my child wouldn't be left to die. If there were any other way, I wouldn't do it."
He Tingchen turned his face away, not even willing to listen to the assistant's explanation.
"I'll investigate this matter thoroughly and then come back to hold you accountable. I won't argue with you about how many kickbacks you took in the past. Now you just need to resign."
He Tingchen's words gave people a strong sense of oppression, and Lin Rushang could feel that there was no hope for this assistant.
There's no point in staying here any longer.
She turned to her assistant and said, "I advise you to go back first. When you were doing this, you should have thought that you would be discovered one day."
The assistant was in tears at this moment and raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
"Ms. Lin...Ms. Lin, if I had any way, I wouldn't be like this."
"Since you've done it, you have to accept the consequences. You've been with Mr. He for so many years, you should know his temper very well."
Lin Rushuang was worried that this assistant's constant pleading with He Tingchen would not only fail to soften He Tingchen's heart, but would make him angry instead.
The assistant sighed, "I see."
After the assistant left, He Tingchen tugged at the clothes worth several hundred yuan on his body with disgust.
"No wonder I've been feeling itchy lately. He's so bold as to deduct money from me in these areas."
He Tingchen took out his cell phone and immediately called Qin Yang. This assistant was just his personal assistant.
Qin Yang is usually in charge of his work.
It’s just that Qin Yang is busy working outside at the moment and has no time to come back to deal with the things around him.
Qin Yang asked respectfully on the other end.
"Boss He, do you have any instructions?"
"Check my daily receipts, like for clothes. I've noticed this assistant has been skimping on my daily necessities. Also, check to see if his child is sick."
"yes."
"Hire a new life assistant and have someone send a new set of clothes."
"yes."
After giving all these instructions, He Tingchen hung up the phone.
Lin Rushuang glanced at the clothes on He Tingchen and said, "Actually, your clothes are pretty good. Although they definitely can't compare to yours, think about it this way. At least they're made of pure cotton."
He Tingchen frowned and subconsciously glanced at Lin Rushuang.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would just give in?"
"But the situation is special now. Your assistant is already very busy, and now you want him to send you a set of clothes."
After Lin Rushuang finished speaking, she suddenly stopped because she realized that she seemed to have talked too much.
She quickly changed her tone: "Do whatever you want. Just treat everything I said just now as bullshit."
He Tingchen couldn't help but tease, "Lin Rushuang, you really are suitable to be a subordinate. It's rare to find a subordinate like you who cares so much about the boss."
Lin Rushuang was a little embarrassed: "I just said it casually."
But He Tingchen is not someone who can be manipulated by others, and Lin Rushuang herself realized that she had crossed the line.
He Tingchen did not change his mind, and even disliked the cheap clothes even more.
"Fortunately, you're just a subordinate, not the boss. Otherwise, sooner or later, you'd be eaten up by these business people!"
"Don't be too kind. This is the only advice I can give you."
Lin Rushuang didn't say anything, but He Tingchen's words hit the nail on the head, and she felt it deeply in the days that followed.
In the evening, Qin Yang quickly brought over the newly bought clothes.
This was also the first time that Lin Rushuang met He Tingchen's assistant. She originally thought that the previous one was...
This Qin Yang looks more like He Tingchen's assistant, because the two of them have somewhat similar temperaments.
They all exude a sense of coldness and aggression, and their whole bodies also exude a sense of indifference that keeps people at a distance.
He walked up to He Tingchen and handed the clothing bag in his hand to He Tingchen.
"Mr. He, everything you requested has been delivered."
He Tingchen pondered for a moment and said, "This time it can't be fake, right?"
Qin Yang just raised the corners of his lips symbolically.
"Don't worry, Mr. He, this time it won't be fake."
He Tingchen's gloomy gaze then fell on Lin Rushuang.
"Help me change my clothes."
The tone didn't sound like a question, but more like an order.
Lin Rushang was used to him treating her like a big boss. People like him seemed to be born with dignity, and people would not dare to neglect them at first sight.
She curled her lips, with a somewhat resentful tone.
"yes."
Lin Rushuang immediately walked over to help He Tingchen take off his clothes. She didn't pay much attention to it when he was putting them on just now, but now she saw He Tingchen's back.
The scar that looked like a centipede coiled around it looked a bit shocking.
Lin Rushang easily develops a strange feeling about bloody wounds and blood, which would give her goose bumps all over her body.
So just seeing the wound on He Tingchen, Lin Rushang frowned and quickly turned away.
She spoke to him while carefully helping He Tingchen change his clothes.
"If something like this happens again, I hope you won't rush over to block the knife for me again."
Even if something really happened to her, no one who cared about her would feel sad for her.
He Tingchen is different, he still has a family.
He Tingchen noticed that the expression in Lin Rushang's eyes became a little dim.
"Why, you don't take your own life seriously? Your mother worked so hard to raise you. If she knew you thought this way, she would probably be restless in heaven."
Mentioning her mother, Lin Rushuang felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She couldn't help but take a deep breath. She found that He Tingchen only needed one word to make her regain her confidence.
I don’t know if it was her illusion.
She had obviously thought it didn't matter just now. It didn't matter if something happened to her, but she hoped that nothing would happen to He Tingchen.
She didn't want to spend the rest of her life feeling guilty.
Lin Rushang finally changed He Tingchen's clothes and took another look at the fabric he had just taken off.
"Indeed, this fabric is better."
He Tingchen sneered: "Why didn't you say it just now? It's hindsight."
Lin Rushuang: “…”
He Tingchen withdrew his gaze awkwardly and looked at Qin Yang.
"How's the investigation going?"
