Chapter 18
Ronald Xie and the others immediately spoke up for Donald Qin.
The meeting room was filled with an atmosphere of oppression, trying to force Fade Chen to admit to a draw.
Under these circumstances, Fade Chen did not say anything but picked up his mobile phone.
Upon seeing this, Donald Qin thought that Fade Chen had admitted defeat, so he quickly said to Quin Lin, "President Lin, the bet
is a draw. You can announce the result!"
"This "Quin Lin frowned, looking a little embarrassed. Of course, Quin Lin knew that
Fade Chen should have won the bet. But now, the situation was tricky - a group of senior executives headed by Ronald Xie were
supported Donald Qin with all their might: If she offended them all the company would be in a mess.
Just as Quin Lin contemplating this dilemma, Fade Chen turned on the TV in the conference room, raised the volume, and this
suppressed all voices in the conference room.
"What are you doing ?" "Chen, are you trying to cause trouble ?"
"Are there no rules anymore? President Lin, such a person should be fired."
A chorus of reproach sounded, and Fade Chen did not explain much. He just looked at the TV screen, crossed his arms and
said, "These news report is specifically about Pai’s Chemicals!"
Everyone’s attention immediately fell on the TV screen.
The local news of Bay City was playing on the screen, and the content of the news was a survey regarding Pain’ is Chemicals.
"Pai’s Chemicals is currently being investigated for poor quality of goods, committing fraud during inspections, delays in credit
payment and business bribery. The police and the criminal investigation division have launched an investigation on Pai’s
Chemicals. The chairman of the Pai’s Chemicals has been taken into custody. Further matters are still under investigation..."
When the news report ended, the next report began. Fade Chen turned off the TV, causing the news reporter’s voice to stop
abruptly.
The meeting room was filled with silence. Everyone looked at Donald Qin incomprehensibly.
Donald Qin was stunned. He did not expect this to happen at all.
"Secretary Qin, now, do you still think that our bet is a draw?" Fade Chen’s voice broke the silence in the meeting room.
Donald Qin’s body involuntarily trembled and then he said, "I.
"I don’t know how it happened this way. This, this -when I signed the contract, Pai’s Chemicals was as normal as any other
company. Donald Qin tried to explain himself.
"Really?" Fade Chen comment, "The problems at Pains Chemicals sound very serious. There should have been signs! And
what’s more, about the bribery, it seems that.."
Instead of continuing, Fade Chen glanced at Donald Qin.
His meaning was very obvious. It would have been impossible to have not picked up on such signs before such a big meltdown
was to happen within a company like Pai’s Chemicals. However, Donald Qin still insisted on signing the contract with Pai’s
Chemicals, which placed Fei Holdings as a potential suspect of committing bribery with Pai’s Chemicals.
As soon as Fade Chen finished, the expressions of all present changed. Even Quin Lin looked at Donald Qin very seriously.
Donald Qin immediately stood up and defended himself anxiously, "President Lin, this, this has nothing to do with me. I will never
take bribes. just negotiated the contract in a normal professional manner."
After that, Donald Qin winked at Ronald Xie and the rest.
They were a little hesitant, but they gritted their teeth and spoke.
"President Lin, I think that there is no evidence of Dr. Chen’s suspicion. We can’t suspect Secretary Qin."
"Secretary Qin has been in the company for many years and has made great contributions to us. We can’t doubt our own people
like this. It will only make other people think that we’re cold blooded."
"In terms of Pai’s Chemicals, the person who supported it at that time was not only Secretary Qin, but also many people present
here. Therefore, this is not on Secretary Qin alone."
—
There were many supporting voices. Quin Lin frowned slightly, she looked at Donald Qin, then at Fade Chen, her expression
extremely serious. She looked at Donald Qin and said, " From now on, we will immediately terminate the cooperation between
our company and the Pains Chemicals."
"Secretary Qin’s work is temporarily suspended. You can go home and rest for a while."
"At the same time, we will investigate our company. We must find out if there is any violation of the rules. If found, our company
will never tolerate it." Quin Lin said.
"President Lin, I " Donald Qin still wanted to say something.
But Quin Lin said coldly, "Let’s call it a day!"
Then, Quin Lin left with a gloomy face, and so did the others.
In the end, only Ronald Xie and Donald Qin were left in the meeting room.
Donald Qin looked at Ronald Xie and asked for help, "Manager Xie, I—"
Ronald Xie approached and turned his back to the camera. He whispered to Donald Qin, "Have you ever "
" No!" Donald Qin said firmly.
"Really?" Ronald Xie stared at his eyes and asked in a low voice.
Donald Qin’s face changed, and he hesitated slightly. Then he gritted his teeth and shook his head, saying, "No."
"I see. Have a good rest." Ronald Xie was silent for a while.
Then he patted his shoulder and left the meeting room —
After leaving the meeting room, Fade Chen was about to go back to the medical room when Quin Lin stopped him.
"Come to my office."
After a brief pause, Fade Chen followed Quin Lin to the president’s office on the top floor. "Dear, no, President-"
Before Fade Chen could finish, Quin Lin stared at Fade Chen with her pair of beautiful eyes and asked eagerly, "How did you
sign the contract with Xu Chemicals ? Who are you, really ?" In her hurry, she didn’t even notice that Fade Chen called her "
Dear", which she had never liked him to do.
Fade Chen touched his nose and thought about how to explain this matter to her.
In the end, he decided to tell the truth. After all, there was no need to make up a story.
Fade Chen said that he had just successfully treated Harry Xu, also known as Elderly Xu’s, ailment and then Elderly Xu helped
Fade Chen sign the contract successfully.
After listening, Quin Lin was a little surprised, but she also believed Fade Chen’s words. After all, nothing could make more
sense.
A smile appeared on Quin Lin face. "Fade Chen, I didn’t expect you to be so lucky. Seems that i’ve hired a lucky guy into the
company" Quin Lin said while looking at Fade Chen.
"Ha, I didn’t expect that either." Fade Chen smiled. "The contract is settled."
"Well, with Xu Chemicals as a supplier, our company’s product quality will be better next year." Quin Lin’s eyes were full of
excitement. The businesswoman had begun to imagine the future development of the company.
Then, she thought of something, and her face changed slightly. She said apologetically to Fade Chen, "As for Donald Qin,
according to your bet, I should fire him. But now, the situation is different. Besides, Ronald Xie and other people are protecting
him, so I can only suspend him for the time being."
"I’m sorry " Quin Lin took the initiative to apologize to Fade Chen.
Fade Chen paused for a moment and then smiled. "It’s nothing. I was just joking about this matter. The development of the
company should be our priority." Fade Chen said.
"Thank you," Quin Lin said solemnly to Fade Chen.
"You’re my wife. You don’t have to be so polite to your husband." Fade Chen smiled and then quickly added, worried that Quin
Lin would be angry. "I’m just saying, don’t get angry."
Quin Lin was not angry. Instead, she said, "Alright, you may leave."
Fade Chen turned around and left.
He walked to the door of the office. Suddenly, Quin Lin stopped him and said, "Let’s leave together after work."
"Er - Fade Chen paused for a moment, he was overjoyed and quickly nodded. "Okay!"
