Shen Zhiwei sneered and looked at Qiao Lina with a sinister expression.
"Who do you think you are? Kneel down and beg for mercy right now!"
"Young Master Shen, this..." Zhao Dagang stepped forward to try and ease the tension.
However, Shen Zhiwei interrupted him, "Chairman Zhao, don't speak."
Zhao Dagang immediately fell silent upon hearing this.
Shen Zhiwei's expression was not something he could afford to offend, especially since he wanted to establish a strategic partnership with Shen Zhiwei.
Choosing to break ties with Shen Zhiwei at this time would be very unwise for him.
Qiao Lina glared at Shen Zhiwei without bowing her head.
"Oh ho, you dare to glare at me?" Shen Zhiwei said angrily, his gaze turning cold.
"I'd like to see just how tough your bones are."
"You either kneel down and beg for mercy, or I'll have Chairman Zhao fire you."
"Impossible!" Jolina said firmly.
"Chairman Zhao, I want you to fire her right now," Shen Zhiwei sneered.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dagang was immediately in a dilemma, feeling quite conflicted.
"Chairman Zhao, have you thought this through?"
“If you don’t do as I say, there’s no point in discussing cooperation.” Shen Zhiwei immediately put pressure on them.
Zhao Dagang's expression changed upon hearing this.
He weighed the pros and cons, his mind racing.
Qiao Lina's backer is Hong Sihai.
Hong Sihai is one of the three giants of the Jingzhou underworld and is very powerful.
Given Zhao Dagang's current strength, it's indeed something we can't afford to offend.
But Shen Zhiwei has an even stronger background; he comes from the Shen family of Jingzhou.
The Shen family is a truly powerful and wealthy family in Jingzhou, and Zhao Dagang is someone they cannot afford to offend.
Furthermore, the Sihai Group and Qinglong Hall are currently locked in a fierce battle.
The current situation is that Qinglongtang is suppressing Sihai Group.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Dagang made a decision.
"Qiao Lina, effective immediately, you are no longer an employee of Mingsheng Company."
“Chairman Zhao, you…” Qiao Lina looked at Zhao Dagang in disbelief.
"Please leave immediately," Zhao Dagang said coldly.
Qiao Lina was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't upset, but given the circumstances, she had no choice but to leave.
Qiao Lina walked out of the private room in a daze; she hadn't expected things to turn out so badly.
Today's experience was beyond her expectations.
With Ye Chen's help, her work started to improve.
Jolina originally wanted to make a big splash in the business and earn enough money to buy a house.
Unfortunately, plans don't always go as expected, and she was fired by Zhao Dagang.
"Young Master Shen, I'm so sorry," Zhao Dagang quickly apologized.
"I really didn't know about this. I didn't expect Qiao Lina to be so bold."
"Young Master Shen, I'm so sorry, so very sorry."
“Chairman Zhao was unaware of the situation; ignorance is no excuse,” Shen Zhiwei said.
Zhao Dagang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Shen Zhiwei say that.
"Young Master Shen is truly magnanimous. Thank you for your understanding."
"Young Master Shen, can we finalize the cooperation we discussed earlier?"
“Of course, no problem. I’d be a fool not to make money,” Shen Zhiwei said.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dagang grinned from ear to ear, "Yes, yes, yes."
"Chairman Zhao, does Qiao Lina have any background?" Shen Zhiwei sneered.
It was clear that Shen Zhiwei didn't want to let Qiao Lina off so easily.
After all, Qiao Lina is beautiful, has a great figure, and outstanding temperament.
This is quite different from the women Shen Zhiwei has played around with in the past.
Shen Zhiwei found it boring that those women succeeded so easily.
On the contrary, Qiao Lina's toughness aroused Shen Zhiwei's desire to conquer her.
Shen Zhiwei plans to use all means to suppress Qiao Lina and force her to submit.
The process of playing this game is far more interesting than going straight to bed with someone.
“Young Master Shen, Qiao Lina is backed by Hong Sihai,” Zhao Dagang said truthfully.
Upon hearing this, a hint of disdain flashed across Shen Zhiwei's face.
"I don't really care about Hong Sihai."
"Yes, yes, Young Master Shen has connections everywhere," Zhao Dagang said.
"Chairman Zhao, do you believe that I could force myself on Qiao Lina in front of Hong Sihai and he wouldn't dare to say a word?"
Shen Zhiwei said with a sinister smile.
"I believe Young Master Shen has the ability," Zhao Dagang quickly replied.
The Shen family is a powerful and influential family in Jingzhou, and Hong Sihai is truly powerless to resist them.
"The Sihai Group and Qinglong Hall are currently locked in a fierce battle, and Hong Sihai is at a disadvantage."
Zhao Dagang said to Shen Zhiwei.
"Qiao Lina, I'll make you suffer," Shen Zhiwei thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Qiao Lina was washing her face in the bathroom.
She washed her face to make the injuries less noticeable.
After finishing all that, Qiao Lina sat down opposite Ye Chen again.
The moment Qiao Lina sat down, Ye Chen immediately noticed the situation.
"Lina, what happened to your face?" Ye Chen asked.
"It's nothing, I just bumped into something when I went to the restroom."
"Ye Chen, have you finished eating?" Qiao Lina immediately changed the subject.
"Lina, your injury wasn't from an accident, it was caused by someone."
"Are you really not going to tell me the truth?" Ye Chen asked, looking at the other person.
"Or are you saying you never considered me a friend from the beginning?"
“Of course I consider you a friend,” Jolina quickly explained.
“I went to the restroom before, and when I came out, a group of people stopped me.”
"One of them is named Shen Zhiwei."
"Shen Zhiwei said he wanted to be friends with me, but I didn't agree."
"Then he tried to touch me inappropriately, so I immediately slapped him."
Ye Chen listened to Qiao Lina's story with a somewhat somber expression.
He never expected that Jolina would encounter these things when she went to the restroom.
