Chapter 345 Should I be kicked out too?
Shen Jiheng is an impulsive person, and sometimes he makes decisions in a moment of desperation, requiring Qin Chuan to be by his side to offer guidance. Therefore, Han Xi believes that his starting point is definitely for Shen Jiheng's sake.
Han Xi still didn't understand why Qin Chuan would disobey an order, and asked curiously, "Assistant Qin, what did he ask you to do?"
Qin Chuan sighed and said, "The president asked me to go to the detention center to vouch for the second young lady and bring her back."
Hearing this, he expressed his incomprehension. Logically, he was the one who hated Shen Mingzhu the most, yet he would bail her out.
"Ji Heng, why did you do this? Aren't you going to hold her accountable?"
Shen Jiheng nodded: "After all, they are siblings. She is pregnant now, so we can't just throw her in jail."
"But......"
“I only have one younger sister. She has already realized her mistake, so I should give her a chance.”
No wonder Qin Chuan questioned it; even Han Xi couldn't understand why he had changed so much.
The key point is that she didn't sense any remorse from Shen Mingzhu at all; such a person should be punished.
"I disagree!"
Shen Jiheng glanced at her sideways, his eyes revealing dissatisfaction.
"Now even you're going against me. When can I change my mind about what I've decided?"
"You said you would punish her severely, so why are you going back on your word now? Besides, her crime is clear, and according to the law, she must go to jail."
"As long as I don't sue her, she'll be fine."
Han Xi was stunned, and it took her a while to recover and look at him.
“At least tell me why you did this. Are you really doing this out of brotherly and sisterly affection? But what you're doing is completely condoning her. She committed such a big mistake and doesn't have to go to jail. Who knows what she'll do in the future?”
Shen Jiheng calmly stated, "I'm just giving her another chance. This is my decision, and it has nothing to do with you."
Qin Chuan felt hurt by his tone, let alone how Han Xi felt upon hearing it.
Seeing that Han Xi remained silent, Qin Chuan immediately stepped forward to act as a peacemaker.
"Miss Han, please don't be angry. The president is only considering the brother-sister relationship. I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on the second young lady from now on and prevent her from causing you any trouble."
Even Qin Chuan knew that letting Shen Mingzhu out would cause trouble, so how could someone as shrewd as Shen Jiheng not understand?
Unexpectedly, these words displeased Shen Jiheng, who said sternly, "You really have a lot of things to do. From now on, nothing concerning the Shen family is your business. Get out of here."
Han Xi couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to defend Qin Chuan.
“Shen Jiheng, stop being so arrogant. Do you think Assistant Qin would be short of your special assistant status? So many people have their eyes on his abilities and talents and want to poach him, but he stays by your side because he values this friendship.”
Shen Jiheng sneered, "He's just an assistant. Don't praise him to the skies. The Shen Group won't change at all without him, but the consequences of making me angry will be severe."
Faced with his attitude, Han Xi said angrily, "Everything he did was for you, and I don't approve of what you did either, so are you going to make me leave too?"
The moment she said that, the temperature in the ward dropped rapidly. Qin Chuan hadn't expected her to say something like that just to help him vent his anger.
Qin Chuan quickly stepped forward and said, "Ms. Han, please don't let me ruin the relationship between you and the president. It's my fault for not fulfilling my responsibilities as an assistant."
Shen Jiheng waved his hand: "I won't stop her from leaving, but you, don't ever appear in front of me again."
Seeing that Han Xi was about to get angry, Qin Chuan immediately gave her a look, not wanting them to argue over their own affairs, and hoping that she could consider Shen Jiheng's current situation and not quarrel.
"I understand, I'll go back to the company to pack my things."
Shen Jiheng then showed a relieved expression, gestured to the bodyguard at the door, and said ruthlessly, "Go and keep an eye on him while he packs, to prevent him from taking company stuff."
"Shen Jiheng, don't go too far..."
“Ms. Han, these are all procedures that employees who leave the company should follow. I’m fine. I’ll leave the president to your care from now on.”
Qin Chuan quickly interrupted her, saying that since things had come to this point, it was better to be dignified.
He bowed deeply as he left, a sight that pained Han Xi.
After Qin Chuan left, Shen Jiheng still wore an arrogant expression, completely unaware of his mistake.
Han Xi was still thinking about what he had just said.
What does it mean to say that you can leave whenever you want? And what does that mean?
But when she thought of Qin Chuan's pleading eyes, which clearly didn't want her to pursue these matters any further, she chose to avoid the topic in order not to affect their relationship.
Han Xi took a deep breath to remain calm and asked, "How is your wound? Does it still hurt?"
Shen Jiheng sighed and lay down. "I'm very sleepy. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back now."
Han Xi walked to his side and gently took his hand.
"Ji Heng, are you feeling unwell? Tell me what's on your mind and we'll work on it together."
Han Xi wanted to wait until he was in a better mood before bringing up Qin Chuan's matter. Such a talented person shouldn't be thrown away so easily.
Shen Jiheng withdrew his hand, yawned, and said, "Have I ever told you before that you're making a lot of noise and how am I supposed to rest?"
Han Xi's hands were suddenly empty, and she got angry when she heard his impatient tone.
“Shen Jiheng, what’s wrong with you? If you’re not feeling well, just say so. Don’t throw a tantrum for no reason. Nobody’s going to be your punching bag.”
"Judging from your long-suffering expression, you must have wanted to leave me and stay by my side for a long time. Is there something you can gain from this?"
Han Xi stared at him in disbelief; this was not the kind of nonsense Shen Jiheng would say.
Not to mention that she wouldn't have wanted anything from him back then due to her dire circumstances, let alone now that she's capable of walking side by side with him.
“You know perfectly well that’s not true, but saying things like that now is disheartening.”
Shen Jiheng said, "Then you should be more tolerant. Since you love me so much, you can definitely handle it."
Hearing these words made her even more upset. Why should she have to put up with your bad temper just because she loves you? Han Xi shook her head.
"I see you're tired too, get some rest, I'm going back now."
Shen Jiheng showed no sign of lingering and simply closed his eyes.
Han Xi sighed inwardly and left. When she got downstairs, she saw Qin Chuan still in the lobby, seemingly waiting for her.
Qin Chuan stepped forward and nodded in acknowledgment, his face full of helplessness.
“Ms. Han, the president seems to have become a different person. He basically reprimanded everyone who came to report this afternoon.”
Han Xi nodded: "Something has been wrong since yesterday. I asked the dean, and he said it was caused by a head injury. I don't know if he can recover."
Qin Chuan is also confused about the situation, but he is unwilling to leave like this.
"So, the president just kicked me out in a fit of anger. I'll go back after he calms down."
Seeing his concern, Han Xi simply went along with it and made the suggestion.
"He'll realize how difficult things will be once he loses such a good assistant like you. Let him suffer a bit. If you don't mind, you can come work for me at Hanshu Group during this time, and your salary will remain the same."
Han Xi has a lot of things to deal with lately, and the two new assistants are not yet ready to get started, so Leng Yu is helping out with everything.
