Hearing this, Sang Tianen was both furious and confused: "Why would Xiao Qian do this? The two of them are not in the same department and don't usually interact. Minister Yan should not have offended him, so why would he spread such rumors?"
Qian Xiaodou's face also turned puzzled: "I don't know about that. Anyway, I just heard it from others."
Shi Zhou sneered: "I think it's probably because Xiao Qian is jealous that Minister Yan is better looking and holds a higher position than him, so his mind is twisted."
Xia Tong also said: "Maybe what Xiao Qian said is true and not a rumor?"
"Impossible!" Sang Tianen raised his voice again, then lowered it again the next second, "I think Shi Zhou is right. Xiao Qian is probably jealous and talking nonsense."
A hint of suspicion flashed across Qian Xiaodou's eyes, and he blinked his eyelids and said, "Team Leader, you're not quite right today. Normally when we chat, you're like an old monk in meditation, not commenting. Why are your emotions fluctuating so drastically today?"
As soon as Qian Xiaodou finished speaking, Xia Tong and Shi Zhou turned their eyes to Sang Tianen.
Sang Tianen's body stiffened, feeling as if the gazes on her were about to tear her apart. She smiled calmly and said, "He's the department leader after all, and he's usually pretty nice to us. It's normal for me to get a little emotional."
"I've noticed something's wrong with you. Every time I mention this person, especially something negative, you start lashing out like a machine gun." Shi Zhou clearly didn't believe her explanation. "You weren't like this before."
Sang Tianen knew that Shi Zhou was different from Qian Xiaodou and Xia Tong, and it was not easy to fool her, so he continued to lie: "You don't understand me yet." He winked at her.
Shi Zhou immediately understood what she meant and knew that she was infatuated with him. She looked at her with contempt and said nothing more.
Qian Xiaodou looked at the two of them as if they were playing a game of charades, and craned his neck to ask curiously, "What do you mean? Tell me."
Sang Tianen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The Dingzhou project recently needs someone to carry out the equipment cutover. Xiaodou, I see that you seem to be quite relaxed, why don't you go."
When Qian Xiaodou heard about the business trip, he immediately shook his head and said, "I won't go. I get carsick, airsick, and seasick."
Then he patted Xia Tong's arm and suggested, "Let Xia Tong go. She's familiar with this job."
"Go to hell!" Xia Tong was so angry that she wanted to bite someone.
After dinner, Sang Tianen and others returned to the office building. As soon as they walked out of the stairs, they saw a group of people gathered at the door of Yan Zheng’s office. They heard men shouting from inside, and it seemed like they were arguing.
"What's going on?" Qian Xiaodou asked subconsciously.
No one answered her, and Sang Tianen and others quickly walked towards the crowd.
"Yan Zheng, what right do you have to fire me? You did something shameless yourself, and you don't let others talk about it."
As soon as Sang Tianen pushed through the crowd, she heard these words that made her angry.
Yan Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Xiao Qian who was lying on the ground. He said calmly, "Qian Lei, it's the company's decision to fire you. It's useless for you to make a scene here. The security will be here soon. You'd better leave quickly before the situation gets out of control."
Xiao Qian wiped away a tear, his expression fierce. "So many people in the company are talking about you, why do you say it was me? If you were truly innocent, why would so many people say that? This shows that you are a dishonest man, and you are actually acting like a victim. It's really disgusting."
Yan Zheng remained composed, even chuckling contemptuously as he said, "We both know the truth of the matter. You've been slandering me for so long, and I've been very patient with you. I hope you won't push it any further!"
"When did I slander you? Everyone knows what you did in your previous company. You are so shameless. You got the position of director just by being someone's second-in-command." Xiao Qian spitted in disdain, his expression becoming more and more agitated.
Yan Zheng was too lazy to waste words with this kind of person. With a cold expression, he took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and called the security office: "Hello, why haven't they arrived yet..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Qian suddenly jumped up from the ground and knocked his phone away from him. The phone fell to the ground with a bang, and the smooth screen shattered into a spider web shape.
Sang Tianen was the first to react. He rushed forward and hugged Xiao Qian, who was about to pounce on Yan Zheng, and scolded him, "Are you sick?"
Yan Zheng was also shocked by his sudden action and his face turned pale. He subconsciously took two steps back.
Seeing Sang Tianen holding Xiao Qian tightly, Yan Zheng calmed his panic and said calmly, "Qian Lei, if you continue to act like this, don't blame me for not caring about our friendship and calling the police."
When Xiao Qian heard that they were going to call the police, his face suddenly changed and he cried, "I can't do anything about it. I have lost my job now and I can't pay my mortgage every month. I might as well die." As he spoke, he suddenly went crazy and wanted to bang his head against the wall.
Fortunately, several colleagues nearby came to help when they saw the situation was not good, otherwise Sang Tianen alone would definitely not be able to control the crazy Xiao Qian.
At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. Several panting security guards pushed through the crowd, took the hands of Sang Tianen and others, and held Xiao Qian down.
Xiao Qian burst into tears, "I don't want to live anymore! Let me die, let me die! I didn't do it at all. I just heard it from others. Why are you picking on me alone?"
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion around, and those eyes filled with curiosity, criticism, sympathy, and suspicion penetrated Yan Zheng's skin like needles.
Yan Zheng's eyes were stern, and he said to the chaotic crowd: "Dear colleagues, since I came to Qitian, I, Yan Zheng, have always been conscientious in my duties and worked hard, and I have never been slack in the slightest."
"This colleague Qian Lei has been spreading rumors about me since I arrived at the company. He's said all sorts of nasty things. I've caught him doing this many times."
"I don't know why he harbored such strong malice towards me, as we were all colleagues and I put up with it over and over again."
"But instead of backing down, he spread more rumors about me. I was really distressed, so I wanted to add his Paper Plane to communicate."
"But when I saw the other party's number, I suddenly remembered an old memory. At my previous company, I was pursued by a female colleague, but I rejected her because I didn't have any romantic intentions at the time."
"I thought the matter was over, but a few days later, a strange man added my number, claiming to be the current boyfriend of this female colleague. He insulted me without any reason and threatened to make me suffer if I dared to seduce his girlfriend again."
