Chapter 1660: I Believe You
The female reporter’s face was ashen as she stood up shakily. She was tongue-tied for a long time, but she still gritted her teeth and retorted, “President Xie, I don’t know where you heard the news. It’s not true. I didn’t…”
“You didn’t?” Xie Qingying’s voice turned completely cold, “Then the Lieutenant General of the military is framing you? Anyway, why did you say that? Who did you tell? It has nothing to do with me, so you shouldn’t involve me in this and let others think that I asked you to snitch.”
“… How is this snitching? This is clearly the truth!” The female reporter saw that Xie Qingying even knew that the other party was a Lieutenant General, so she knew that she couldn’t deny it anymore. Since that was the case, she would just bite the bullet. “Young Master He has always been relying on his position as the Major General to freely mobilize the resources of the military. Clearly, he still has feelings for his ex-fiancée! I was trying to fight for you, President Xie. I didn’t expect that not only did you not appreciate it, you even wanted to find trouble with me! Alright, I won’t do this job anymore. I’ll resign!”
This female reporter had long planned to leave, but she didn’t expect to resign under such circumstances.
The connections she had accumulated in this company were almost destroyed by Xie Qingying in an instant.
After her colleagues and friends found out that she was a “snitch,” how could they still treat her the same as before?
“You want to resign and leave? Dream on. I’m officially informing you that you’re fired. Not only will you have to compensate for the company’s losses,” Xie Qingying did not hesitate to take out the labor contract she had signed with this female reporter back then, “Also, your actions are slander. Wait for my lawyer’s letter. I’ll sue you.”
The female reporter’s face was already pale.
She opened her mouth several times and wanted to plead with Xie Qingying. However, she had just said some harsh words, so it would be really embarrassing to take them back in front of the entire company now.
Therefore, she did not say a word and walked to the door of the meeting room. She wanted to go to her office to pack her things.
Xie Qingying immediately called the security guard over and said, “Please leave my company immediately. She has been fired.”
At this time, she wouldn’t give her any chance to come into contact with the company’s computers and internal systems.
Xie Qingying took out her phone and logged into the company’s internal network. She quickly deleted the female reporter’s account and changed her work email password.
The female reporter turned around and glared at Xie Qingying. “My personal belongings are still in my cubicle!”
“The security guards will take out all your belongings, but you can’t enter the company again.” Xie Qingying was very unyielding and didn’t give her any chance.
This woman had caused too much damage to her relationship with He Zhichu. Xie Qingying didn’t want to let her off the hook.
After firing the female reporter, Xie Qingying returned to her office and pulled out the surveillance video from the meeting room. She didn’t edit it at all and sent it directly to He Zhichu’s email.
After she sent it, she called He Zhichu again.
However, at this time, He Zhichu was escorting Qin Yaoguang to the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital’s headquarters to watch her perform the surgery on Old Master Qin.
Of course, Qin Yaoguang didn’t do it herself. Instead, she stood in the operating room and commanded the other doctors.
He Zhichu also changed into the hospital’s sterile surgical gown and stood in a corner of the operating room expressionlessly.
Ever since Qin Yaoguang heard the news of Grandpa Qin’s injury, she hadn’t stopped crying. Now, her eyes were red and swollen, but she was still calm. When she was directing the surgery, she was well-organized and didn’t panic at all.
The chief surgeon was a neurosurgeon in the Qin Corporation’s Private Hospital and second only to Qin Yaoguang. Now, he should be the best brain surgeon.
That person reported Old Master Qin’s injuries to Qin Yaoguang and discussed the surgical plan.
“Old Master Qin had a CT scan. There is blockage in the brain. This is the main reason we need to open the brain to clear the blockage.”
Qin yaoguang looked at the CT image and discussed with everyone. In the end, she decided, “Then we will open the brain. However, my father is old. The wound shouldn’t be too big when we open the brain. We only need to open a small incision here and use the gamma knife to perform the surgery.”
Qin Yaoguang defined the range of the craniotomy and explained the things that needed to be paid attention to during the surgery.
After all, she had been the best neurosurgeon for so many years, so when it came to craniotomy and gamma knife, she was very knowledgeable. The doctors present listened very carefully and were very impressed with her.
He Zhichu didn’t understand these professional jargon, nor was he interested. He just stared at Old Master Qin on the hospital bed. Sometimes, he would look at the monitoring equipment in the ward and pay attention to the progress of the surgery.
Old Master Qin’s brain surgery had been going on for several hours. By the time the surgery was over, it was already late into the night.
“Young Master He, my father’s injuries are serious. Although he has undergone surgery, he still needs to be observed for a period of time. Can I stay here until my father is out of danger?” Qin Yaoguang begged He Zhichu pitifully.
He Zhichu said nonchalantly, “I can’t make the decision. I have to consult my superior.” As he spoke, he took out his phone and made a call.
The moment he took out his phone, he saw a few missed calls from Xie Qingying.
He didn’t call back immediately. Instead, he called the leader of the military first.
“Qin Yaoguang requested to wait until Old Master Qin is out of danger before leaving. Please instruct your superior.”
The military leader pondered for a moment and said, “How long will it take to get out of the critical period?”
He Zhichu didn’t know. He looked up at Qin Yaoguang. “How long will it take to get out of the critical period?”
“At least 12 hours, usually 24 hours,” Qin Yaoguang said without hesitation. Her expression didn’t change.
After He Zhichu relayed the message, the leader on the other end of the phone said, “Then 12 hours. After 12 hours, she must be escorted back.”
“Yes, Chief.” He Zhichu accepted the order and turned to Qin Yaoguang. “I’ll give you 12 hours. After 12 hours, regardless of whether Old Master Qin is out of danger or not, you must leave this place and return to the detention center.”
Qin Yaoguang’s gaze dimmed for a moment, but she still nodded. “Alright, then 12 hours it is.”
Old Master Qin was quickly transferred to the intensive care unit. His body and head were covered with heavy equipment. The equipment and wires were intertwined. He looked like a big spider, coiled in the middle of a web.
Qin Yaoguang sat down in front of Old Master Qin’s bed and focused on Old Master Qin’s medical records and injuries.
He Zhichu stood in front of the window with his phone and sent Xie Qingying a message. “I haven’t finished my work today. I can’t watch Swan Lake.”
Xie Qingying waited anxiously for his message. After she finally saw his message, she understood that it wasn’t convenient for him to call, so she immediately replied, “I know. I was going to call you early in the morning to tell you that I’m not free tonight, but I didn’t expect so many things to happen.”
He Zhichu didn’t know which one she was referring to. His fingers rubbed the phone, but he didn’t reply.
Xie Qingying waited for a while. She thought He Zhichu was angry, so she gripped the phone tightly and sent him a voice message. “Young Master He, I didn’t ask my employee to inform the military. I’m not that stupid. I’ve already held a meeting to confront her and fire her.”
He Zhichu was wearing a Bluetooth headset. When he heard her voice reply, he immediately replied, “Did Prime Minister Xie tell you?”
He Zhichu thought about how the military still wanted to summon this female reporter. He immediately relayed the news to the relevant military departments and deployed people to control and protect this female reporter.
“Yes, uncle was very concerned about me. He didn’t want this to happen. I have no idea why she would do this!” Xie Qingying was on the verge of tears. “Young Master He, you have to believe me!”
Her voice was somewhat similar to Gu Nianzhi’s when she was choking with sobs.
He Zhichu closed his eyes and continued typing. “… I believe you. Don’t cry.”
