"Okay, I'll wait for you at school." After saying this, Su Mingxi smiled, waved, and rode away on her pink bicycle.

"Be careful on the road," Ling Ziqian called out to her retreating figure.

"Okay, brother, you should get some rest. Don't overwork yourself." Su Mingxi smiled back, then rode away quickly on her bike.

Ling Ziqian watched her figure gradually disappear into the distance, and felt a sense of comfort in his heart.

Yu Meiren walked over and hugged Ling Ziqian from behind. She giggled and, mimicking Su Mingxi's voice, whispered in Ling Ziqian's ear, "I'll be waiting for you at school..."

Ling Ziqian was surprised to be teased by Yu Meiren. He immediately blushed.

"What a lovely girl, it's a pity she's a younger sister." Yu Meiren laughed and hugged Ling Ziqian's neck tightly, pressing her whole body against him.

"You should lose weight!" Ling Ziqian turned to Yu Meiren and complained.

"Lose weight my foot! My weight and figure are in perfect proportion!"

Yu Meiren was very confident, but in Ling Ziqian's eyes, she was narcissistic.

Yu Meiren pinched Ling Ziqian's cheek and then let go of him. She asked curiously, "How was your day at the company?"

“Very good.” Ling Ziqian lied again, not mentioning that he had been arrested by the police or that his friend had been forced to leave due to unspoken rules.

"Oh." Yu Meiren nodded, then couldn't help pinching Ling Ziqian's cheek again. "If things are going so well, then why does Aunt Huo want you to go to the company? You little liar!"

Feeling seen through, Ling Ziqian smiled awkwardly, "There's nothing to talk about in company matters."

"What's there to say? If you're feeling down or have been bullied, just tell me. I won't get revenge for you, but I'll comfort you. What, you don't want my comfort? You don't like me?"

Yu Meiren's eyes were filled with melancholy.

Ling Ziqian was embarrassed. "No, it's not that. Although I'm upset and felt bullied, I can still handle it."

Since that's how it is, Yu Meiren released Ling Ziqian's cheek and said nothing more.

Ling Ziqian smiled as he walked upstairs, feeling that Yu Meiren was more concerned about him and gentler than usual.

“She used to yell at you because you stayed home all the time,” Huan Yue explained to Ling Ziqian. “Now that you’re actively exploring your future, she’s happy and will treat you better, which is only natural!”

Perhaps that's the reason, Ling Ziqian nodded.

Walking upstairs, Ling Ziqian saw Cupid sitting on the sofa, hugging a teddy bear, eating a donut and watching TV. He smiled and walked over.

If it weren't for this guy not asking for any flirting points yesterday, I would have been beaten up badly by those four fake policemen today.

"Cupid-chan." Ling Ziqian sat down on the sofa.

"Little brother, what's wrong?" Cupid was curious about why Ling Ziqian had taken the initiative to come to her.

Seeing some cream on the corner of her mouth, Ling Ziqian couldn't help but smile and reach out to gently wipe it away.

This action made Cupid blush.

Ling Ziqian was also stunned. When did he become so bold? His actions just now seemed to have been done without thinking, unconsciously.

Seeing Cupid's flushed cheeks, Ling Ziqian gave an awkward smile.

"Hey, Cupid-chan, if I manage to handle things at the company well tomorrow, Mommy Fire should give me a bonus. What kind of gift do you want then? Do you want a teddy bear?"

Hearing Ling Ziqian say that, Cupid Sauce was a little excited.

She looked up and glanced at the stairwell, but didn't see Yu Meiren coming upstairs. She smiled and whispered in Ling Ziqian's ear, "Little brother, I want to go to the amusement park!"

Ling Ziqian nodded. "No problem. Why would you tell me secretly?"

Cupid's face flushed as she explained, "It's more fun to sneak off to the amusement park without telling Beauty Sister!"

Is this what they call rebellion?

Ling Ziqian smiled and nodded, agreeing to go to the amusement park with Cupid.

"Pinky promise!" Cupid extended her little finger.

"Okay!" Ling Ziqian smiled and made a pinky promise with Cupid.

This guy is becoming more and more like family, like a younger sister.

After that night's conversation, I became more proactive.

I always feel like the world I see has changed from a different perspective; everything has become vibrant, and the world has become beautiful!

Complete the task assigned by Mother Fire, then let's go to the amusement park!

The night flew by, and the next day arrived.

Ling Ziqian went to work early and thankfully wasn't late.

Despite what happened yesterday, Hou Qin did not leave and remained the leader of Group C.

All the sales department staff gathered together for a morning meeting.

Today's morning meeting will be used to select a manager. (Zong Dayu's younger brother)

After the morning meeting, several directors appeared and presided over the selection of a manager; Fire Mom was among them.

Upon seeing Ling Ziqian, Mother Huo gave a subtle, almost imperceptible smile, though she didn't seem genuinely happy.

After a tug-of-war yesterday afternoon, the employees were all confused about the various promises made by Ling Ziqian and Gao Wenhui, and did not know how to make a choice.

Between Ling Ziqian and Gao Wenhui, no one could guess who would become the manager.

Secretary Hua stepped onto the stage to act as the host, saying, "Now, please invite the two manager candidates to come up and speak."

The so-called "speaking out" is actually a final campaign to garner votes.

Gao Wenhui was the first to step onto the stage. He was strutting confidently and seemed certain of his victory.

Addressing the two or three hundred people in the audience, Gao Wenhui spoke of awarding bonuses and raising wages.

Every employee comes to work for the company not because of dreams, but because of money.

Gao Wenhui's promise brought smiles to many people's faces.

After he finished speaking, he stepped off the stage. Ling Ziqian was surprised that someone would rush up to the stage to speak up for Gao Wenhui.

The man explained that Gao Wenhui was handsome, which is why women pursued him, leading to a somewhat scandalous private life. However, he insisted that his private life was unrelated to his work and strongly supported Gao Wenhui becoming the manager.

After that person finished speaking, others ran up to support Gao Wenhui!

Those people are paid trolls; they were definitely paid by Gao Wenhui to go on stage and shout slogans.

Although everyone guessed that this was the case, their opinions of Gao Wenhui were inevitably influenced.

Seven or eight people went on stage to sing praises to Gao Wenhui, and when it looked like more people were about to go on stage, Secretary Hua stopped them.

Ling Ziqian took a deep breath and, carrying the expectations of his mother, walked onto the stage.

Looking at the sea of ​​people below the stage, Ling Ziqian felt somewhat embarrassed.

How could he bring it up? Looking at the people below the stage, Ling Ziqian couldn't help but think of Chen Qian.

"Let me explain why I want to be the manager," Ling Ziqian took a deep breath. "I'm running for manager to stop Gao Wenhui from becoming the manager!"

This sentence startled Mother Fire.

Gao Wenhui looked rather unwell; he couldn't understand what grudge he held against Ling Ziqian.

The staff below the stage were buzzing with discussion. Ling Ziqian adjusted his non-prescription glasses and continued speaking.

"I was just a junior employee in the company. The reason I mustered up the courage to run for manager was because of a colleague of mine. She was a female colleague who was constantly being ordered around by the office supervisor, changing the water in the water dispenser, cleaning the office, and working overtime unconditionally..."

"...She accepted her fate passively, not envying those who flaunted their power and wore glamorous clothes. She believed that if she continued to work hard, she would achieve a good result. But reality always delivers heavy blows. Yesterday, everyone should have heard that Gao Wenhui tried to sexually harass her, and she angrily refused and left the company..."

When Ling Ziqian said this, the whole room fell silent. The people Gao Wenhui had bribed shouted in the crowd that it wasn't like that.

However, the online trolls failed to stir up public sentiment, and they all backed down.

Ling Ziqian continued, “We’re not children anymore. We all know right from wrong. There are many people in the sales department like my friend who are submissive and oppressed. I’m here for you. If you want to fight back, shout, or even hit someone, I’ll help you make your wishes come true. Please vote for me!”

These words touched the hearts of many people.

Seeing that things were going badly, Gao Wenhui joined forces with online trolls to loudly proclaim that Ling Ziqian had assaulted someone.

The atmosphere that Ling Ziqian's words had created was instantly shattered...

Chapter 216 I didn't finish my meal yesterday!

Ling Ziqian hated Gao Wenhui to death.

But in this situation, what can one do but argue back with Gao Wenhui?

This is a managerial election, not a fight and shouting match.

Mother Fire looked very upset, but all she could do was gently tap the table to signal everyone to be quiet.

Although Ling Ziqian just said some very pleasing words. (The last part is a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)

However, Gao Wenhui and a group of online trolls made a lot of noise, which ruined the atmosphere.

In everyone's impression, Ling Ziqian is a violent person who beats people at the drop of a hat. Choosing him as manager would probably be very dangerous.

Ling Ziqian stood awkwardly on the stage, unsure of what to say, while Gao Wenhui in the audience was beaming with joy.

At that moment, an elderly man dressed in a cleaner's uniform walked onto the stage.

The stage is dirty, does it need to be cleaned?

The staff members in the audience all guessed the same thing.

However, the old man wasn't going up on stage to do cleaning work; he had something to say.

"I've been doing cleaning work for just as long as Tianhuo Group has been established. I believe many people know me, Old Man Li." The old man smiled sheepishly.

Many employees in the audience shouted, saying that Old Man Li was not cleaning, so why was he on stage?

Old Li smiled and looked at Ling Ziqian, explaining his reason for going on stage: "Many people spoke up for Gao Wenhui, but no one spoke up for Ling Ziqian. I couldn't help it, so I came up here."

Ling Ziqian was taken aback. He looked at the old man with gratitude.

Old Li smiled slightly, looking at the staff below the stage, "I am not qualified to select the manager, but I think I am qualified to speak."

"As a cleaner, I've always been very concerned about the cleanliness of the company premises. I've run into Gao Wenhui several times, and every time I see him, he's littering cigarette butts and spitting everywhere..."

This one sentence instantly tarnished Gao Wenhui's image.

Gao Wenhui wanted to yell, but yelling at an old man would be even more unseemly!
