Who Made Him an Antagonist

26: Chapter 26 Lin Xiaojin’s WingmanQin Yun Tian Cheng, Operations and Maintenance Area.

Gao Ting picked out an exquisite bag from the canvas tote on Lin Xiaojin’s workstation.

Turning her head to look at Lin Xiaojin, who had just returned from getting water, she clicked her tongue and said, ”Oh, Lin Xiaojin, where did you strike it rich?”

”You’re even carrying the latest limited-edition Chanel bag?”

The smile at the corners of her mouth became increasingly mocking as she said, ”I recall that your family background wasn’t very good, Lin Xiaojin?”

”What, starting to walk the Evil Path?”

”Become a mistress?”

Lin Xiaojin placed her water cup on the table and tried to snatch the bag back from Gao Ting’s hand. She missed and said with frustration, ”I haven’t! Give it back to me!”

Gao Ting pulled the Chanel bag behind her back and then snatched the canvas tote from the workstation.

Even the pearl-white floor-length evening gown and high heels inside were dumped out.

”A haute couture evening gown and Valentino ’attack speed’ gear.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk!”

Gao Ting sized up the Lin Xiaojin before her and clicked her tongue. ”I didn’t expect you to look so well-behaved, Lin Xiaojin, while playing so wildly behind everyone’s backs?”

Gao Ting had always found Lin Xiaojin an eyesore.

In university, she had also been a famous class beauty.

Countless pursuers used to follow her around like lapdogs.

Surrounded by admirers.

Why was it that after entering Qin Yun Tian Cheng, everyone was showing kindness toward Lin Xiaojin?

She wasn’t convinced.

She wanted to expose Lin Xiaojin’s ugly side!

With Gao Ting making such a scene, many veteran employees in the Operations and Maintenance Area immediately cast pitying glances at Lin Xiaojin.

They pitied Lin Xiaojin; they thought this young girl was kind, sensible, and willing to work hard.

They usually looked after her.

Who would have thought that a pure green lotus still couldn’t escape the great dye vat of society?

Lin Xiaojin anxiously retorted, ”No, you’ve misunderstood!”

She desperately wanted to explain.

But remembering President Qin’s instructions,

She didn’t dare reveal their relationship in the company.

Gao Ting pressed aggressively, ”’No’ what? You’re just an intern, and you think you can afford a limited-edition Chanel bag and a haute couture evening gown?”

”A year of your salary wouldn’t even buy one bag!”

A veteran employee spoke to Lin Xiaojin with earnest concern, ”Lin Xiaojin, you’re still young; you can be self-reliant.”

”Sometimes, taking shortcuts isn’t as easy as you think.”

”You should have had a bright and beautiful future, sigh...”

All the words of persuasion eventually turned into sighs.

The Lin Xiaojin they viewed as a pure little green lotus had perhaps already been stained by filthy white stains.

”Here, your things!”

Gao Ting threw the bag, the haute couture gown, and the Valentinos back, sneering, ”You don’t find it dirty to wear, but I find it dirty just to hold.”

”Then why were your hands so itchy that you had to take them yourself?”

A sharp shout drew everyone’s attention.

As Gao Ting and all the employees in the Operations and Maintenance Area saw Qin Ge appear, they all swallowed hard in fear and spoke respectfully, ”President Qin.”

Seeing Qin Ge appear, Lin Xiaojin gritted her teeth and said, ”President Qin, I’m fine.”

Qin Ge kept a stern face. ”But I think you have a problem.”

He patted Lin Xiaojin’s slender shoulder.

Qin Ge then glared at Gao Ting and shouted angrily, ”Are you saying that the things I bought are unclean and dirty?”

Gao Ting shook her head in terror. ”No, I didn’t.”

Qin Ge pointed at the bag and evening gown on the workstation, saying with a cold face, ”But all of these were gifts I bought for Lin Xiaojin. It’s just that she was unwilling to accept them and brought them to the company intending to return them to me!”

Boom!

These words exploded in the minds of the hundred-plus employees in the Operations and Maintenance Area.

Lin Xiaojin’s bag and evening gown were given by President Qin?

Why would President Qin give Lin Xiaojin gifts?

Is President Qin pursuing Lin Xiaojin!?

Gulp!

Gao Ting swallowed hard with difficulty.

Her head was buzzing.

During her university days, she could be considered someone of note.

However, after entering society, forget her—

Even her wealthiest and most powerful pursuer wouldn’t amount to a fart in front of President Qin.

What had she just been doing?

Calling the gifts President Qin bought dirty!

Insulting Lin Xiaojin, whom President Qin was pursuing, as a mistress?

Gao Ting was so scared she was on the verge of tears as she pleaded with Qin Ge, ”President Qin, I’m sorry. I know I was wrong.”

She stepped forward, grabbed Lin Xiaojin’s hand, and said in terror, ”Xiao Jin, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please forgive me, okay?”

”For insulting a colleague in the company without cause, I’m docking one month of your salary first!”

Qin Ge’s face was cold. ”If there’s a next time, pack your bags and get out. Not just from Qin Yun Tian Cheng—in the entire Yunhai City, I’d like to see which company dares to hire you!”

A threat!

A blatant threat!

However, not a single employee present dared to say a word.

Gao Ting hurriedly nodded. ”President Qin is right to scold me. I promise it won’t happen again. President Qin is magnanimous.”

Hmph!

Qin Ge gave a cold snort.

He didn’t intend to increase the punishment further.

He knew Gao Ting was jealous of Lin Xiaojin.

He had even intentionally transferred Gao Ting to be near Lin Xiaojin.

For what purpose?

Wasn’t it to let Gao Ting create opportunities for him to get closer to Lin Xiaojin?

For a minor character like Gao Ting, he could make her vanish with a wave of his hand.

But was that necessary?

With Gao Ting staying in the company, she would try to please Lin Xiaojin at every moment from now on.

And as long as Gao Ting was there, Lin Xiaojin would know who brought her this special treatment.

It was no exaggeration to say that Gao Ting was a wingman Qin Ge had specially selected for Lin Xiaojin.

Even small people have great uses.

The key is whether you know how to use them!

Qin Ge faced all the employees of the Operations and Maintenance Area and spoke calmly, ”Gao Ting’s docked salary for this month will be added to the department’s activity fund. I, Qin Ge, will personally contribute another five hundred thousand to round it up. I’m inviting all colleagues in the Operations and Maintenance Area to pick a time this month to have a good relaxation session!”

Whoa!

The Operations and Maintenance Area suddenly erupted in excitement.

”President Qin is so generous!”

”President Qin is awesome!”

”Long live President Qin!”

“...”

Amidst the cheers, the look in Gao Ting’s eyes as she looked at Lin Xiaojin held an indescribable jealousy.

However, after Qin Ge’s appearance this time,

How would she dare to offend Lin Xiaojin even in the slightest?

Not only could she not offend Lin Xiaojin,

She also had to find ways to curry favor with her.

Who knows, maybe one day Lin Xiaojin would become Mrs. Qin.

At that time, with just a word from Lin Xiaojin and given President Qin’s power,

How could she possibly continue to survive in Yunhai City?

”Play when it’s time to play, work when it’s time to work. I won’t disturb you further.”

Qin Ge waved his hand and then turned to Lin Xiaojin, saying, ”Come to my office.”

Under everyone’s gaze,

Lin Xiaojin, for the first time, walked into Qin Ge’s office openly and legitimately.

As soon as she entered, Lin Xiaojin closed the office door.

She looked at Qin Ge, biting her lip, and asked with a hint of sour confusion, ”President Qin, didn’t you say you didn’t want outsiders to know about our connection?”

”You also said you were afraid I would throw my weight around in the company.”

”Why did you still help me today?”

She understood Qin Ge’s concerns.

For a company, especially one on the right track,

Nepotism was the ultimate taboo.

Qin Ge walked into the lounge without looking back and beckoned to Lin Xiaojin, ”I’ve been busy all night and I’m a bit tired. Give me a massage.”

Lin Xiaojin stepped forward quickly and began massaging Qin Ge’s shoulders with practiced ease.

After a while, Lin Xiaojin murmured with a heavy heart, ”President Qin, you haven’t answered my question yet?”

Qin Ge kept his eyes closed.

It was as if he hadn’t heard her.

After a long time, he finally muttered to himself in a very soft voice, ”I suddenly feel that even if you throw your weight around in the company and bully your colleagues, it’s no big deal.”

”At least, it’s better than watching you get bullied.”
