Peerless Cupid System

"...His character is terrible. With such poor character, I don't think he can be a good manager." Old Li looked at Ling Ziqian. "I also ran into Ling Ziqian yesterday. Yesterday in the hallway, Gao Wenhui broke up with his girlfriend..."

When Old Man Li told this story, it drew gasps from the staff below the stage.

Old Li waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. He continued speaking.

"Gao Wenhui slapped his girlfriend and left her crying. To be honest, I've seen this kind of thing many times in the company over the years, but I've never seen anything like it before. They were clearly enemies, but Ling Ziqian actually went up to comfort the woman."

This incident caused another uproar in the audience!

Everyone looked at Ling Ziqian in surprise.

“At the time, I asked him why he did that, and his reason was that his conscience wouldn’t allow it. Gao Wenhui kept shouting that Ling Ziqian hit people and such. What I want to say is that he hit people twice yesterday, once as a hero and once for his colleague. In my opinion, he is a person with a conscience. These days, the most precious thing about being a person is having a conscience. That’s what I wanted to say.”

After Old Man Li finished speaking, Ling Ziqian quickly nodded and thanked him.

Old Li smiled slightly, gave Ling Ziqian a thumbs up, and then turned and left the stage.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and everyone's opinion of Ling Ziqian changed once again.

Fire Mother and Secretary Hua smiled.

But then a sudden change occurred. The online trolls hired by Gao Wenhui loudly proclaimed that Ling Ziqian had bribed Old Man Li to speak on his behalf.

Just as everyone was having these doubts, another person walked onto the stage—it was Hou Qin!

Hou Qin didn't look at Ling Ziqian, but instead spoke loudly to the staff below the stage, "I am the one who was dumped by Gao Wenhui!"

Upon hearing these words, tears streamed down Hou Qin's face.

But she ignored him and continued, "I know everyone will think that I'm standing here because Ling Ziqian bribed me to get revenge on Gao Wenhui. I want to say that I wasn't bribed by Ling Ziqian. I'm here to get revenge on Gao Wenhui!"

Everyone turned to look at Gao Wenhui, whose face turned ashen. He hadn't expected Hou Qin to stand up for Ling Ziqian!

"On the day I joined the company, I met Gao Wenhui. He told me very directly that if I wanted a promotion and a raise, I should follow him. So I followed him without really understanding what was going on. I've only been with the company for half a month. In these half a month, I've clocked in every day and gone out with him. The day before yesterday, he abused his power and dismissed a team leader, making me, who knew nothing, the team leader..."

Hou Qin's words were fatal to Gao Wenhui.

At the crucial moment, the woman who had been dumped turned around and accused Gao Wenhui, making him lose all face!

Even if he were elected as manager, he would be too ashamed to stay at Tianhuo Group.

His face was contorted; he didn't want to hear Hou Qin continue. He turned and left, not just leaving the venue, but also leaving the company!

Fire Mother looked at Secretary Hua and instructed her to keep an eye on Gao Wenhui.

Upon seeing Gao Wenhui leave, Hou Qin collapsed onto the stage, sobbing uncontrollably.

Ling Ziqian went forward to help her up, but she refused.

"I'm sorry for making things difficult for you before. Thank you for your concern yesterday. This is all I can do to help." After saying this, she got up, stepped off the stage, and left.

What's next? Will there still be a vote? Gao Wenhui has already left!

The staff members below the stage looked at each other in disbelief, not expecting things to develop to this point.

The elegant and dignified Fire Mother walked onto the stage and addressed everyone with a serious expression, "The matter of selecting a manager will be put on hold for now. From this incident, we have discovered various problems in the sales department, and perhaps every department in our company has similar issues."

"But from now on, let's work together to reorganize the company, get rid of people like Gao Wenhui, and find conscientious people like Ling Ziqian, so that everyone in the company can enjoy fairness and justice!"

The employees liked what he said and applauded.

But why wasn't Ling Ziqian appointed as manager? That's the question on everyone's mind.

Fire Mom looked at Ling Ziqian and said, "Ling Ziqian, I think you're still young. Don't be a manager for now. Our company will fund your studies abroad, and then you can come back to the company and take on greater responsibilities."

Ling Ziqian almost burst out laughing. Huo Mama was giving him a way out; otherwise, what would people in the company think if he left later?

Ling Ziqian nodded earnestly to Huo's mother.

Mother Fire looked at the employees below the stage, "Regarding the company's funding for everyone to study abroad, everyone has the opportunity..."

This one sentence excited everyone.

Mother Fire energized the staff, creating a lively atmosphere, and Ling Ziqian took the opportunity to leave.

At the elevator entrance, Ling Ziqian encountered Secretary Hua.

Secretary Hua smiled with delight. Without Ling Ziqian asking, she revealed the news: "Gao Wenhui has left. I just heard him call his father, saying he was too ashamed to stay at Tianhuo Group and was going to another city."

Gao Wenhui left, having completed his mission.

Ling Ziqian was very unhappy. Gao Wenhui had done something wrong but hadn't been punished; he had only ruined his reputation.

Shaking his head, Ling Ziqian tried to stop thinking about Gao Wenhui; he still had something else to deal with.

"Secretary Hua..."

"I'll take you there!"

Secretary Hua knew what Ling Ziqian was going to say.

Ling Ziqian felt a little awkward. He didn't really want to go find Chen Qian, since he was about to leave.

"Idiot, take the initiative! She was almost persecuted by Gao Wenhui because of you!" Huan Yue shouted.

"Mm." Ling Ziqian nodded, took a deep breath, and went downstairs with Secretary Hua.

After leaving the company yesterday, Chen Qian didn't dare tell her family that she had lost her job.

This morning, she pretended to go to work and left home early.

She went to the job market, but with only a vocational school diploma, no one wanted her.

After buying a newspaper, Chen Qian sat on a bench by the street, looking for a suitable job.

She was somewhat absent-minded and couldn't help thinking about Ling Ziqian.

I don't know if he was released by the police, or what he will do when he returns to the company and finds out about his situation.

What can he do? He's nobody to him.

Thinking this, Chen Qian's cheeks couldn't help but burn.

Having spent only a day and a half with Ling Ziqian, Chen Qian felt from the very first meeting that he was different from everyone else.

Because he offered to help, he took the heavy bucket of mineral water from his hands.

If I hadn't left the company, would I be with him...?

Thinking about this, Chen Qian quickly shook her head, dismissing the strange idea, and continued looking at various job postings.

At that moment, a car pulled up beside them.

Chen Qian looked up in confusion and saw Ling Ziqian getting out of the car.

Ling Ziqian smiled at the dumbfounded Chen Qian, "We didn't finish our meal yesterday..."

Episode 28: One Man Stands Guard

Chapter 217 Marry me, and I'll come live with you!

Ling Ziqian got out of the car, and Secretary Hua tactfully drove away.

Chen Qian was stunned when Ling Ziqian suddenly appeared. She was as surprised as could be.

She stared blankly at the departing car, unsure how to speak. (This last sentence appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)

She recognized the car; it was someone's official vehicle.

"I promised to treat you to a meal, but yesterday's meal was interrupted halfway through." Ling Ziqian smiled at Chen Qian. "Let's make up for it with a meal now. I'll treat you to breakfast."

"You, you..." Chen Qian looked at Ling Ziqian, feeling embarrassed and speechless.

"What's wrong with me?" Ling Ziqian scratched his head. "You don't actually think I'm the young master of the company, do you?"

Chen Qian nodded. That car just now was the chairman's official car!

"Young Master's name is Huo Nan, and I am Ling Ziqian." After thinking for a moment, Ling Ziqian did not take off his glasses. "Let's find a place to have breakfast, and I'll tell you something."

Chen Qian looked at Ling Ziqian with a puzzled expression, and then led him into a breakfast shop.

Chen Qian ordered a table full of breakfast, but she didn't have much of an appetite, while Ling Ziqian ate with great relish.

Having already driven Gao Wenhui away, he no longer needed to return to the company. The matter entrusted to him by Mother Huo was now successfully completed, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Ling Ziqian ate his breakfast and told Chen Qian about his purpose for joining the company.

Upon learning the whole story, Chen Qian was incredibly surprised. "Gao Wenhui left, and Hou Qin actually spoke up for you?"

“That’s right, I didn’t expect that either.” Ling Ziqian ate his breakfast in big bites.

“She must have been moved by you!” Chen Qian said.

"Pfft!" Ling Ziqian shook his head awkwardly. "It's not that exaggerated. She's doing this to get back at Gao Wenhui, after all, she got dumped!"

Chen Qian nodded and ate her breakfast, glancing at Ling Ziqian with some unease.

Ling Ziqian smiled at her, "On the way here, I talked to Secretary Hua about you. You will be working with Secretary Hua as a secretary in the administration department from now on."

"No way!" Chen Qian was startled; this surprise was too dreamlike.

"If you don't believe me, the administration department should call you later," Ling Ziqian said.

Chen Qian nodded, smiling happily, knowing that it was because of Ling Ziqian that she was able to become a secretary in the administration department.

She couldn't help but look at Ling Ziqian, "And what about you? If you drove Gao Wenhui away, did you become the manager?"

If he became the manager, and she became the secretary… Chen Qian couldn’t help but fantasize like that.

However, what Ling Ziqian said left her dumbfounded.

“My mission is complete, so it’s only natural that I should leave. I was never part of the company in the first place.”

"If you leave, where will you go?" Chen Qian asked, a little agitated.

"Go back to school."

"University?"

"high school."

"Are you a teacher?"

"High school student!"

"what?"
