Qin Shaowu was trying to drag Xie Sui to hell with him, all because of his foul mouth!
Xie Sui instantly scurried to Inspector Liang's side, using her as a human shield.
Inspector Liang: "..."
Here you are, a grown man, using me to take the fall. Have you no shame?
Xie Sui, however, felt perfectly justified. "You're the inspector, and he's your subordinate. If not you, then who else?"
"Qin Shaowu, don't be rash."
Inspector Liang dutifully shielded Xie Sui. Qin Shaowu had already drawn his gun, safety off, pointing it at Xie Sui. "Inspector Liang, step aside. I'm going to shoot this scoundrel today, no matter what. You want to protect him too? Are you involved with him? Su Dan Novel Network.
Women are all cheap. You two, you dog and bitch, if you don't move, I'll shoot both of you."
Inspector Liang was furious. "What nonsense are you spouting? Mr. Xie and I are completely innocent, with absolutely no relationship outside of work. You're incompetent, and now you're blaming others.
With your bad temper and lack of intelligence, no wonder you're just a lowly police officer your whole life."
Xie Sui gave a wry smile. "My dear lady, please stop provoking him. Don't get us shot. If you die, it'll be in the line of duty, but I'll be so wrongly accused. I'm innocent, I don't want to die."
Inspector Liang was speechless. "You don't want to die, but your mouth is so foul, you deserve it. He doesn't dare to shoot. He hasn't got the guts. He's a coward. Watch and see."
Xie Sui: "I believe you. I won't watch. Then I'm leaving. You keep an eye on him!"
Xie Sui wanted to slip away. Was this woman also out of her mind?
Why provoke him? What if he got hot-headed, felt trapped, and actually pulled the trigger?
Qin Shaowu was also caught in an internal struggle. Liang Ni was right. A man who hasn't achieved anything often has a bad temper. He hated Xie Sui, but he didn't dare to actually shoot.
In fact, many grassroots police officers never get the chance to fire their weapons in their entire careers, unless they're SWAT.
"You're not allowed to leave. You're the most detestable! You country bumpkin, let's see how cocky you are when you're dead."
Xie Sui said helplessly, "You're the one who's been provoking me, aren't you? Have I eaten your rice?
You just think country bumpkins are easy to bully. Suddenly, someone competent shows up, and you can't deal with the country bumpkin you've always looked down on, so you're feeling unbalanced.
Actually, there's no need for that. I can sit at the same level as your leaders because I spent money. I donated two million worth of supplies to you. Shouldn't I get a good reception?
They're not giving me face, they're giving money face.
If you had two million, I'm sure Inspector Liang would give up her seat to you. Do you believe me?"
Qin Shaowu suddenly understood. "I believe it. A million would be enough."
Xie Sui: "..."
He couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, what's the big deal? We have no quarrel, why act like this? Put down your gun, and I'll pretend nothing happened, okay?"
"You promise not to pursue me."
"I promise, no one in this room will say a word. Inspector Liang, what do you say?"
Inspector Liang was overjoyed. "I promise, anyone who dares to speak a word will be immediately fired."
They were all colleagues and didn't want him to go down a dead end. They all made their promises, and Qin Shaowu finally put down his handgun.
Inspector Liang immediately confiscated it, her palms sweating. It had been too dangerous.
Xie Sui laughed heartily and opened the door. "Have a good day!"
Hurry up and leave. Never come back. Aren't people from Hong Kong supposed to have strong resilience? Why did he explode so easily?
A dangerous situation had passed with such casualness. Xie Sui sat in his office chair, his legs still trembling.
"Ah Hua, where have you disappeared to?"
The receptionist came in and said, "Mr. Ah Hua hasn't arrived yet. It's still ten minutes before work hours."
Xie Sui was furious. "From now on, make him work twenty-four hours. What kind of bodyguard clocks in at the last minute?"
Ah Hua never expected that Xie Sui would encounter danger even in his own office. What kind of luck was this?
Xie Sui felt that he was incompatible with Hong Kong. It was too dangerous. He should just go home.
After this recruitment fair, once the group's management structure was established, he wouldn't come to Hong Kong anymore.
Ah Hua arrived for work and saw Xie Sui's pale face. The company atmosphere felt off. He asked, "Boss, what happened?"
"Ah Hua, do you have a wife?"
"No, boss. Are you going to give me a wife?"
Xie Sui: "..."
He gave him a look that said "dream on." "I'll double your salary. Protect me closely from now on."
Ah Hua seemed a little hesitant. "Boss, you can hire another personal bodyguard. It's not that I'm afraid of hard work, but if I get tired and my alertness drops, I might not be able to protect you properly. What if something happens?"
"You won't believe it if I tell you, you almost lost your job just now."
Xie Sui recounted the incident with Secretary Yao. Ah Hua's face was a picture of astonishment. What kind of luck did his boss have?
Truly unlucky.
"Boss, I know a very effective master. Why don't you go and pay respects?"
Xie Sui cursed and said, "Get lost. Why would I pay respects to a master? Just get to work."
"Okay, boss. Do you still need to hire someone for the night shift?"
"Of course."
Ah Hua went to make arrangements. Lin Nan came in, looking guilty. "I'm sorry, Mr. Xie. I didn't know Secretary Yao was that kind of person. It was my negligence."
"It's not your fault. This was a trap set by the Green Gang. Hmph, they still wanted to harm me. They underestimated me, Xie Sui."
Xie Sui didn't dwell on the matter further. Secretary Yao had already been sent to prison. This hidden danger was removed.
Secretary Jin seamlessly took over, arriving for work looking sharp in a suit, and greeted him with a smile. "Good morning, Mr. Xie."
"Morning. Secretary Jin, you've arrived at the perfect time. Please help me screen the candidates at today's recruitment fair. Find us more talent. Poor management is a major taboo."
"Certainly, Mr. Xie."
The number of applicants was surprisingly large, numbering in the hundreds. After the stock market crash, countless companies had gone bankrupt, and countless people were unemployed. Times were tough for everyone.
Xie Sui started by reviewing resumes and first decided on a Director of Human Resources. Interview matters would be handled by the HR department from then on. He couldn't be doing HR work himself all day.
There were several experienced HR managers, all of whom had lost their jobs when their previous companies closed down and were now looking for new positions. They were in their thirties, at the peak of their energy and experience.
"Have them all come in together."
Five people, three men and two women, applying together was a first. They seemed a bit awkward. "Good morning, Mr. Xie."
"Please, have a seat. You're all applying together to save time. Each of you, please share your thoughts on my company and your future plans."
This was a tricky question. The five exchanged glances. A shrewd-looking man with hair so slicked with wax that flies could slip on it spoke first. "I'll go first. My name is Xue Yonghui. I believe Mr. Xie is an extraordinary person, a veritable legend, the most outstanding young entrepreneur in a century..."
It was a torrent of flattery, all directed at Xie Sui, who listened with great satisfaction, a smile plastered on his face.
The others had gotten the idea. This Mr. Xie enjoyed flattery.
