Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 461: Chapter 435: You’ll Lose Friends That Way

It would be one thing if Qiao Zhen didn’t explain, but since he did, Yu Minglang got even angrier.

The little things he bought with love were all lying lonely in the car, having no opportunity to be used.

What gave Qiao Zhen the right to just go ahead and do it?!

Beating him up wouldn’t be too much!

After being randomly punched by Yu Minglang, Qiao Zhen was forced to defend himself, and the two of them fought fiercely, trading blows back and forth, creating quite a spectacle.

Not far away, several branch company employees who were helping set up the venue watched from a distance. The impressive showdown between Yu Minglang and Qiao Zhen sparked heated discussions among them.

”These two are amazing!”

”Especially the young boss, my goodness, what did he do before? His skills are so good. I heard the headquarters’ benefits are also excellent, offering a million-yuan annual salary today. I really wish I could participate in the selection, but alas, I don’t meet the conditions. By the way, did you hear that Wang Yafei is participating?”

”The one who was promoted due to a special merit and then became the HR at our biggest rival company, that legendary figure?”

”Yes, among the few candidates for this reality show selection, he has the highest acclaim. To be honest, I really admire Wang Yafei.”

Wang Yafei is from a rival company, and he’s participating in this reality show recruitment. If he doesn’t get selected, he’ll lose his position at the old company too. This guy has some guts.

Five minutes later, Yu Minglang’s communication device rang. Only then did he release the battered and bruised Qiao Zhen.

Touching his mouth corner, Qiao Zhen still couldn’t understand why he was beaten. ”If it wasn’t for exhausting my strength last night, I’d have definitely beaten you.”

”Even if you’re not exhausted, you still wouldn’t win against me!” Yu Minglang taunted as he pressed the communicator.

”Yu Minglang, go ahead.”

”General Manager, you have an emergency call; please go to the communication vehicle.”

”Received.”

On the mountain, the signal wasn’t great, and mobile coverage was spotty, so they used walkie-talkies. If there was an issue, there was also a communication vehicle.

After shooting an envious, jealous, and hateful middle finger at Qiao Zhen, Yu Minglang quickly walked towards the communication vehicle.

”Who called?” Yu Minglang asked.

The employee respectfully replied, ”It’s your fiancée, says it’s an emergency.”

Qian? Not daring to delay, Yu Minglang knew Mei wouldn’t call this line unless it was very urgent.

The call was routed through multiple channels; Qian must have called his dad, and then it was routed in through connections. The current situation was different from usual, and usually, calls wouldn’t come through to ensure fair recruitment.

”Mei, what happened?” Yu Minglang nervously grabbed the phone and asked.

”Call me Mr Chen, and I’m speaking to you now as a doctor.”

”...” Just a moment ago, he was very tense, but hearing her say that eased his mind. Seems like she wasn’t in any trouble.

”Go on, Mr Chen, what’s up with you?”

”Wang Yafei, do you know him?”

”I do.” He’s a popular candidate for this assessment. Yu Minglang and Qiao Zhen came over together, specifically interested in Wang Yafei’s talent. They were both looking forward to his performance tomorrow.

”According to our professional code, we can’t disclose patient names and information, but this situation is very special. I must tell you that if Wang Yafei passes the assessment tomorrow, please do not take him to your place.”

”Give me a reason.” Yu Minglang frowned.

”Because he has a potential stress disorder that could lead to serious consequences if he joins your unit.”

Qian’s words left Yu Minglang stunned.

”What illness?”

”Stress disorder. If I’m not mistaken, this issue has been there for several years. I couldn’t hypnotize him successfully, so I’m unable to pinpoint the exact year it became a problem, but I’m investigating through connections. Before I completely cure him, don’t let him enter your place. This is responsible for both your side and him.”

Qian made this decision after a struggle.

She had just completed the first treatment session with Wang Yafei. After a moment of hesitation, Qian decided to break the rule once and disclose the patient’s information to Yu Minglang.

This is against professional regulations.

Qian weighed the pros and cons and felt that letting Wang Yafei enter Yu Minglang’s company, any work mistake would be a major blow to him. Moreover, Yu Minglang would definitely be affected.

”What’s the specific situation?”

Qian’s words drew Yu Minglang’s full attention.

”I’ll arrive at your location in an hour, and we can talk in person.”

Qian first contacted Mr. Yu and then obtained special approval through him to enter the exam site. This matter could be significant or trivial, and since it involved Minglang, she definitely wouldn’t let it slide.

Mei is coming?

Yu Minglang paused for a moment, then, putting aside the joy of seeing his lover again, frowned and said he understood, then hung up the phone.

For Mei to come in person, the situation must be serious. The talent he values is facing such a matter, which made him deeply regretful. Despite many applicants, those who catch Yu Minglang’s eye as standout prospects are so rare and precious.

Qian hung up the phone and put her hands together in front of her still-angry teacher.

”Teacher, are you dissatisfied with how I handled this?”

During her treatment with Wang Yafei, Mr Liu had stormed in angrily. He initially wanted to confront Qian but, seeing her professionalism in treating the patient, did not interrupt and stood by watching.

What was even more infuriating was that when Wang Yafei asked who Mr Liu was, Qian calmly said he was a window cleaner, almost infuriating Mr Liu to the point of bursting a vein!

But Qian’s method of handling the situation was indeed without problems. Mr Liu didn’t interrupt her and allowed her to finish the treatment.

He initially intended to settle the score with Qian, but for the greater good, the mentor and student first discussed Wang Yafei’s condition and reached a consensus. The teacher then contacted Mr Liu, tacitly approving Qian’s unauthorized actions.

”Chen Xiaoqian, who gave you the courage to drug me without permission and practice medicine without a license? Aren’t you afraid I’ll report you to your class advisor and prevent you from graduating?”

This little girl really had too much nerve. Mr Liu, after a deep sleep, saw the note Qian left and almost erupted with anger.

Having rushed all the way here, the little hothead actually started treating people!

”It was authorized by the Grandmaster, who allowed it, and he gave me a death waiver. Teacher, any grudges or dissatisfaction, you should bring them up with the Grandmaster. If I’m the metaphorical knife, then the Grandmaster is the one holding it. The weapon is innocent; the mastermind is guilty. Please don’t take it out on me, it’s all the Grandmaster’s fault!”

Qian deftly deflected the issues onto her mentor without hesitation, selling out the Grandmaster.

Mr Liu was so angry he pointed at her nose, ”He tells you to do something, you just do it? Are you closer to me or him?”

”Of course, I’m closer to you. If I got too close to him, you wouldn’t be happy either—Teacher! You are a scholar; you can’t hit people!”

Qian took a step back, narrowly dodging the notebook thrown by Mr Liu.

”Nonsense!”

Qian dodged the notebook thrown by her teacher, not forgetting to sincerely advise.

”Teacher, you really should fix this habit of throwing things at people who displease you. You’ll end up with no friends this way...”
