Ling Nuan didn't expect Wang Qin to be so crazy.
Even though she reacted quickly and dodged a few steps to the side, she was still hit by something.
A porcelain pen holder hit directly on Ling Nuan's ankle. The fragments scratched her skin, and blood started to flow instantly.
Hearing the commotion from inside the office, Huo Linsheng also rushed over.
Seeing the blood on Ling Nuan's foot, he was about to step forward when he saw Ling Nuan suddenly smile expressionlessly. Then, she stepped forward directly and slapped Wang Qin across the face.
The "slap" was clean and crisp, the sound so loud that it made one's heart skip a beat.
"You actually hit me?" Wang Qin stared at Ling Nuan angrily.
She wanted to fight back, but just as she raised her hand, Ling Nuan grabbed her wrist. Wang Qin immediately reached out her other hand, which was also grabbed by Ling Nuan.
"Have you had enough of your madness? CEO Huo has left you a way out. He just asked you to resign. Wang Qin, you should be content. If you keep making trouble, the HR department will add a note to your resume file saying that you have ill intentions towards the company. Let's see which company will dare to hire you."
After saying that, Ling Nuan directly flung Wang Qin away.
"You should have thought about this outcome when you chose to make profit through improper means. You reap what you sow. Don't just look for reasons from others."
Wang Qin was flung and fell to the ground.
There were the fragments she had smashed on the ground. When Wang Qin fell, her palm touched the fragments and got scratched.
Wang Qin's eyes were already red. Now she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Why are you treating me like this? Ling Nuan, you're not affected at all. Why are you being so relentless?"
"Relentless?" Ling Nuan scoffed and warned, "Wang Qin, you'd better behave yourself. Otherwise, I don't mind suing you for intentional injury."
Wang Qin was stunned and cried even more sadly.
But no one sympathized with her.
A colleague from the HR department rolled their eyes directly. "Wang Qin, if you keep making trouble like this, I'll have to call the security guards to escort you out."
Wang Qin just kept crying and didn't respond.
Ling Nuan was annoyed by the crying. Looking at her bleeding foot and the swollen ankle, she got even more irritated.
Just now, in the heat of anger, she didn't feel much when she took a few steps. But now when she tried to move, it hurt.
"Let's go. I'll take you to the hospital." Huo Linsheng's voice suddenly sounded.
Ling Nuan turned around abruptly and saw Huo Linsheng standing beside her. Thinking that there were still a bunch of people around, she subconsciously wanted to keep a distance from him.
She failed to keep the distance and almost fell.
Fortunately, Huo Linsheng grabbed her.
After Ling Nuan steadied herself, Huo Linsheng didn't let go. He just supported her and walked out.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to instruct Zhao Ran, "Sort this out. This is a company, not a marketplace."
Zhao Ran replied nervously, "Yes."
Now, without the HR colleague's urging, Zhao Ran directly called the security guards and threw Wang Qin and her things out of the Huo Corporation.
Originally, they wanted to leave a way out for Wang Qin. But now, there was no need.
"Record the resignation file truthfully," Zhao Ran said to the HR colleague.
At that moment, Wang Qin began to regret, but it was too late. There was no medicine for regret in the world.
...
"The wound is not deep. I'll prescribe an ointment. Apply it for a few days and it'll be fine. The problem is the ankle. It's swollen quite severely. You'd better stay still for the next few days."
The doctor wrote out a prescription and handed it to Huo Linsheng. "Pay the fee and get the medicine."
The driver, who was standing beside them, quickly took the prescription. "I'll go."
The doctor clicked his tongue. "You don't even do it yourself for your own people, Huo Linsheng. With this attitude, you'll end up a bachelor sooner or later."
Ling Nuan had been silent all this time. Hearing this, she raised her eyes and looked at the doctor in surprise.
She didn't expect that the doctor was an acquaintance of Huo Linsheng.
Huo Linsheng ignored him and looked at Ling Nuan. "Can you walk? I'll take you home."
Naturally, Ling Nuan wouldn't miss this good opportunity. But before she could speak, the doctor stepped in first. "No, she can't walk. Why don't you listen to the doctor's advice? Come on, pick up this little beauty."
Ling Nuan was shocked and happy.
She didn't expect to get such an unexpected help.
"Fu Qili!" Huo Linsheng warned him in a low voice.
Fu Qili spread his hands. "I'm a doctor. You have to listen to the doctor's advice."
Huo Linsheng sneered. "A doctor who took three extra years to graduate? I really can't trust you."
Fu Qili instantly got angry. "I took three extra years because my supervisor was too difficult. It has nothing to do with my ability!"
"Ha."
Just one word, full of mockery.
Fu Qili was so angry that he couldn't speak. Then he turned to Ling Nuan. "Miss Ling, dump this kind of jerk as soon as possible! I'll introduce you to someone who is gentler, more considerate and more talkative than him!"
Huo Linsheng pulled him away. "She's my employee."
Fu Qili scoffed. "Fang Chao was sick and couldn't move, but you didn't even accompany him for the consultation. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Huo Linsheng: "..."
For the first time, Huo Linsheng was left speechless by someone's retort. He directly picked Ling Nuan up horizontally and turned to leave.
Only then did Fu Qili feel that he had won a round. He sneered. "Humph, in the end, you still had to carry her out."
Huo Linsheng and Ling Nuan, who hadn't walked far, heard it clearly.
Ling Nuan couldn't help but let out a couple of giggles.
Huo Linsheng looked down at her. "You're okay? Walk by yourself?"
As he said that, there was a sign that he was about to let go.
Ling Nuan was so scared that she immediately tightened her grip around Huo Linsheng's neck and glared at him fiercely. "Huo Linsheng!"
Huo Linsheng's mood suddenly improved. "Got it."
When Huo Linsheng carried Ling Nuan out, the driver had already got the medicine. He escorted Ling Nuan all the way to the underground parking lot.
As soon as they got in the car, Huo Linsheng said, "Your address."
Ling Nuan was about to answer subconsciously. But just as she opened her mouth, she suddenly realized something. Then she turned her head and looked at Huo Linsheng with a smile.
Huo Linsheng: "?"
"Don't even think about it." Huo Linsheng refused coldly.
Ling Nuan looked aggrieved. "CEO Huo, I live alone. Doctor Fu said that I need to rest and can't move. I need someone to take care of me."
"Don't you have any friends?" Huo Linsheng countered.
Ling Nuan pretended to be pitiful. "Yeah, I don't have any friends."
"Hire a nurse with your money." Huo Linsheng replied.
Ling Nuan sighed. "I just had my salary deducted. I don't have any money."
"It's none of my business." Huo Linsheng refused again.
"But I got injured because of you, CEO Huo! You have to be responsible for me!" Ling Nuan accused.
Huo Linsheng: "..."
Ling Nuan said righteously, "If you hadn't fired Wang Qin, she wouldn't have gone crazy, and I wouldn't have got injured. Moreover, Wang Qin was trying to curry favor with Huo Xiao, so she targeted me. Huo Xiao is your niece. As the saying goes, if a child goes astray, the father is to blame. Since Huo Xiao hasn't been well - educated, you, as an elder, are also responsible. So, you have to be responsible for me!"
"Fallacy," Huo Linsheng commented.
"I don't care." Ling Nuan reached out and hugged Huo Linsheng's arm. "I've set my eyes on you. Don't even think about leaving me behind, CEO Huo."
Huo Linsheng was amused by Ling Nuan's appearance. He joked, "Secretary Ling, do you always act so shamelessly?"
Ling Nuan replied, "This is called fighting for my legitimate rights."
Seeing that Huo Linsheng still remained unmoved, Ling Nuan moved closer to him and whispered, "CEO Huo, I'm injured. Are you still afraid of what I might do? Of course, if you want to do something, I can still lie still."
Huo Linsheng: "..."
"Shut up! Go to the Jinyu Mansion."
The former was directed at Ling Nuan, and the latter at the driver.
