Another thug added, “Not a single one of us laid a hand on her before she took us down. Just look, my front teeth got knocked out!”
Bo Yi’s expression darkened as he questioned, “Then how did she injure her hand?”
“Injured?” The dozen thugs were dumbfounded. They were certain that none of them had touched her, so how had she sustained an injury?
“Could it be that after she finished beating us up, she decided to pick on someone else? Did she injure herself elsewhere because she was still in the mood for a fight? We really don’t have the skills…”
The dozen thugs felt utterly wronged. That young lady was beyond unreasonable. She not only bullied them but also got her family involved in teaching them a lesson. It was just too much!
Bo Yi inquired, “Where are the man and woman who were leading them?” He asked Mu Qing in an indifferent tone.
Before Mu Qing could respond, one of the thugs explained, “Our Miss Qingqing got scared. She had a car accident on her way out and is currently undergoing resuscitation in the hospital…”
Another thug added, “Boss Wu is also in the operating room. The doctor said that if he had been brought to the hospital any later, he might have lost his manhood.”
Bo Yi raised an eyebrow. It seemed the situation was more serious than he had thought. His girl appeared to be cute and docile, not someone who knew how to fight. These people must be maligning her.
Mu Qing, standing beside him, leaned in and whispered, “Master Bo, when I went to apprehend them, they were indeed injured. Their injuries were quite severe…” It was obvious that IVliss Fang Yuan had been the one to take them down. However, Miss Fang Yuan didn’t seem like the type to know how to fight. This raised questions about how she had managed to overpower these people. Bo Yi might have a challenging married life ahead of him.
Bo Yi instructed, “Tell them to stay away from my people,” and turned to leave.
Mu Qing hurriedly asked, “Master Bo, how should we handle these people?”
Bo Yi’s gaze returned to the thugs as he replied casually, “Teach them a lesson.” “What? Are we going to get beaten again?” The dozen or so thugs were flabbergasted. What grave sin had they committed that they had to endure a thrashing three times in a single day? They were already contemplating resignation upon their return; working for the Gu family was simply too strenuous, and the meager pay hardly covered their medical expenses.
“Brothers, please, be a bit more gentle. We’re barely hanging on…”
“How about giving us a kick or two?”
“Or better yet, can we just get lost and roll from here to there ourselves?”
The bodyguards said nothing more and charged over, subjecting them to another round of beating. The screams echoed from the nearby foliage.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town.
Gu Panpan arrived at the company well past three in the afternoon. As Zhao Quan visited the Designing Department for an inspection, he frowned in disapproval.
“Gu Panpan!” Zhao Quan scolded with his hands clasped behind his back, “What time is it? Does your family own the company? You can’t just waltz in whenever you please. Do you even care about the company’s rules?”
All eyes in the department turned to Gu Panpan, their expressions tinged with worry on her behalf.
Gu Panpan hung her head, resembling a child caught in the act. “Good afternoon, President Zhao… I had requested leave from President Fang. I returned as soon as 1 completed my work, so I didn’t delay anything…” “President Fang?” Zhao Quan’s tone turned icy. “So now you’re running to President Fang, huh? Is President Fang at your beck and call? Does she personally approve your leave?”
Gu Panpan quickly explained, “No, President Fang is extremely busy. It was my fault for disturbing her.” In Gu Panpan’s eyes, Fang Yuan was diligent and fully devoted to her work every day, in stark contrast to Zhao Quan, who often seemed absent from the company.
“You’ll be considered absent without valid reason for today,” Zhao Quan declared, his gaze fixed on her. “What are you still standing around for? Get to work immediately!”
“President Fang mentioned that today is a day off for me,” Gu Panpan added softly.
“President Fang, President Fang, have you all learned to use President Fang to undermine me? Do you think I’m afraid of her?”
Zhao Quan glared at the unconvincing girl before him, then shifted his gaze to the department employees who were seething with frustration but dared not voice their grievances. It felt as though a raging fire was burning within him.
“She was barely in high school when I took charge of this company!”
“I’ve been setting an example for all of you for a year. Instead of learning from me, you’ve picked up her bad temper!”
“Why? Do you all want to challenge my authority?”
“Do you think I won’t hesitate to terminate all your employment?”
Several employees lowered their heads in silence.
“President Fang is an exceptional leader,” Gu Panpan bit her lip and couldn’t help but speak up for Fang Yuan. At just 18 years old, Fang Yuan demonstrated remarkable competence in managing the company. She displayed impressive design skills, consistently proposing valuable improvements and innovative ideas. She also showed empathy for the employees and proactively resolved their issues. Where else could they find such an outstanding boss?
“Thinking that you can disregard others just because you have someone in your corner? You’re so young, yet you’re already taking sides? Let me make it clear, if I say you skipped work today without valid reason, you did.. If you’re unhappy, you’re free to resign!”
