Ling Nuan had expected this.
She might see Shen Shaoqing today.
But running into him at the company gate under such circumstances made Ling Nuan feel as if he was a lingering ghost.
"Yang Qin, what do you want to do?" Shen Shaoqing shook off Yang Qin's hand, his expression disgusted as he questioned her.
Yang Qin was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously asked, "Aren't you two already over?"
Shen Shaoqing's expression stiffened slightly.
Ling Nuan even wanted to clap for Yang Qin.
Yes, it's all over. Why is he still pretending to be affectionate to protect her?
Shen Shaoqing closed his eyes and then said, "It doesn't mean you can just hit people."
"Speak slanderously?" Shen Shaoqing paused.
He didn't look at Ling Nuan. Instead, he looked at Yang Qin with a strange expression.
Yang Qin knew Shen Shaoqing quite well.
He was silently questioning her. He still chose to protect Ling Nuan.
Realizing this, Yang Qin felt extremely sad. She turned her head to avoid Shen Shaoqing's gaze. She didn't want to answer.
But Zhang Yan mistakenly thought that Shen Shaoqing was concerned about Yang Qin. She opened her mouth to explain, "Yes, Ling Nuan said Sister Qin was the other woman."
As soon as these words were said, Yang Qin's expression turned ugly. She scolded, "Zhang Yan, shut up!"
Shen Shaoqing's expression also became extremely ugly. Only Ling Nuan laughed.
"Just stating the truth and making a little speculation based on facts," Ling Nuan said with a smile. Then she spread her hands. "Since two of the three parties involved are here, why don't you all share your views?"
Ling Nuan's tone was gentle. If one didn't consider what she said before, who could tell that she was being sarcastic?
Shen Shaoqing's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to refute at all.
Yang Qin was angry. "Ling Nuan, what on earth do you want? Don't go too far!"
Ling Nuan smiled. "I don't understand what you mean. You were the one who picked a fight first. Can't I fight back?"
Yang Qin: "..."
Yang Qin closed her eyes. Then she looked at Shen Shaoqing. "General Manager Shen, regardless of our personal grudges, this is the company. I hope General Manager Shen can separate public and private matters. Ling Nuan was indeed our former colleague, but she has already left. Isn't it inappropriate for her to appear around the company?"
Yang Qin said righteously, "She knows a lot of company secrets. Shouldn't she avoid suspicion appropriately? Otherwise, if something really happens and we suspect her later, it will also damage our former colleague friendship."
Zhang Yan immediately chimed in, "Yes, General Manager Shen. We're also thinking about Ling Nuan. If such a thing really happens, even if it's explained clearly later, I'm afraid some companies won't dare to hire her."
There was full of malice in Zhang Yan's words. Shen Shaoqing could naturally hear it.
His expression darkened. Before he could say anything, Yang Qin caught a glimpse of someone coming out of the corner of her eye. Her eyes immediately lit up.
"General Manager Yang," Yang Qin greeted Yang Cheng with a smile as he walked over.
After Yang Cheng took office, Yang Qin tried to get in touch with him because they had the same surname. It actually worked, and she became good friends with Yang Cheng. She clearly knew that Yang Cheng was on Huo Xiao's side. If she wanted to have something to制衡 Shen Shaoqing in the company, it must be Yang Cheng.
Yang Qin couldn't bear to see Ling Nuan doing well. This feeling had overridden her feelings for Shen Shaoqing.
She must make Ling Nuan lose face here today and vent her anger!
Yang Cheng saw Yang Qin first. A smile subconsciously appeared on his face. But when he caught a glimpse of Ling Nuan out of the corner of his eye, his expression suddenly froze.
Yang Qin was busy causing trouble for Ling Nuan and temporarily ignored this emotional change.
"General Manager Yang, you came just in time. Please help me persuade General Manager Shen," Yang Qin sighed. She tried to persuade him earnestly and reasonably. "I know that Ling Nuan and General Manager Shen have a special relationship. Even if they can't be lovers, they're at least friends who have struggled together for many years. It's hard to let go. But..."
"We should separate public and private matters. Ling Nuan's situation is really not suitable for too much contact with our company. Moreover, Miss Huo is still in the hospital giving birth. If General Manager Shen has contact with his ex - girlfriend and Miss Huo knows about it, won't it be a laughingstock?"
Yang Qin looked like she was thinking about Shen Shaoqing. "General Manager Yang, I can't persuade him anymore. In our company, only your words can General Manager Shen listen to. You must persuade General Manager Shen. Don't be confused."
No one stopped Yang Qin.
Zhang Yan even chimed in, "Yes, yes."
Looking at the other three people.
Ling Nuan's expression was calm, like an outsider watching the show quietly.
Shen Shaoqing's expression was strange, but he didn't stop her. There was even a bit of self - mockery.
Look, when Ling Nuan was in the company, Shen Shaoqing could have the final say in the company. But now? Huo Xiao didn't contribute much to the company. But just because Shen Shaoqing wanted to cooperate with the Huo family, he had to agree to many of Huo Xiao's requests.
There was an informer of Huo Xiao in the company, and then they could interfere with his decisions wantonly.
Looking at Yang Cheng again, of course he didn't want to see Ling Nuan doing well. But was it up to him?
Even though he had climbed up to Huo Xiao, he knew that for the company, the cooperation with the Huo family was the most important thing. Did he dare to offend Ling Nuan?
He didn't dare.
He could only interrupt with a dark face. "Yang Qin, stop talking."
Yang Qin was so angry at this moment that she was a bit out of her mind. "General Manager Yang, this matter can be big or small. We must treat it carefully."
Yang Cheng couldn't bear it anymore. He shouted, "Secretary Ling is the person in charge on the Huo family's side!"
He almost roared it out.
After he roared it out and saw the stunned looks of Yang Qin and Zhang Yan, Yang Cheng suddenly calmed down. He felt comforted.
Look, there were still people who had offended Ling Nuan even more severely than him.
When someone was more unlucky than himself, Yang Cheng suddenly became more open - minded.
He could even smile and apologize to Ling Nuan. "Secretary Ling, I'm really sorry. I didn't manage the people in the company well. Please don't laugh at us."
Yang Qin: "?"
She thought it was extremely unrealistic. Ling Nuan was kicked out of Qingnuan Technology and then went to the Huo family. She became a secretary and even started to be in charge of external cooperation projects?
Was this possible?
Yang Qin thought it was incredible.
She even thought that Yang Cheng and Ling Nuan were acting. But among all people, would Yang Cheng do such a thing?
While Yang Qin was in a daze, Ling Nuan nodded at Yang Cheng with a smile. "General Manager Yang is joking. The personal morality of employees is naturally not the company's fault."
Hearing this, Yang Cheng smiled and replied, "Yes."
Shen Shaoqing watched this farce from the side and thought it was both sad and ridiculous.
He suddenly said, "Yang Qin, resign on your own."
This sentence caught Yang Qin, who hadn't recovered yet, off guard.
"What did you say? You want me to resign?" Yang Qin couldn't believe it. "I've been in the company for so many years and done so much for the company. I've never made any mistakes in my work. Why do you want me to resign? Just because I offended Ling Nuan?"
Yang Qin's emotions were a bit out of control. "Shen Shaoqing, are you crazy? Isn't this the first day that I've been like this with Ling Nuan?"
But this sentence was precisely Shen Shaoqing's sore spot.
If he still felt a bit guilty before, then now -
"You resign. The company will compensate you N + 1. If you don't want to resign on your own, then, Yang Qin, don't blame the company for being heartless."
