Chapter 175 Accidentally Fell
Chapter 175 Accidentally Fell
Before long, more than a dozen strong security guards rushed to the front of President Qiao’s office, surrounding it like a tidal wave. Leading them was a bald-headed man with a fierce look on his face, none other than the security director of Lida Department Store, Director Zhang.
When he clearly saw Xu Xiangbei, he was so surprised he couldn’t close his mouth, and quickly told his men to put away the rubber batons.
With a tense expression, he asked, "Dr. Xu, why is it you?"
Xu Xiangbei also recognized him and mocked, "What are you doing here? Couldn’t make it at your old place, so you transferred here to be security?"
Director Zhang, with a fawning face, shrunk his neck and smiled, "No, Dr. Xu, you’re mistaken. This clothing city belongs to our President Qian’s family. Today, there’s a fashion show being held, and there weren’t enough security guards, so I brought some brothers over to help. We are all one family but didn’t recognize each other. Dr. Xu, what happened, who dared to upset you? Damn it, I’ll make sure they learn their lesson."
Bald-headed Director Zhang had experienced Xu Xiangbei’s skills before and didn’t want to try them again, so he yelled at the injured security guard, "How did you come into conflict with Dr. Xu? Explain it clearly, did you accidentally bump into him?"
The injured security guard was clever and could tell from Director Zhang’s tone that he was siding with the other party. He knew he had to take the blame, as he didn’t dare offend Director Zhang, much less provoke Xu Xiangbei again.
He smiled bitterly and said, "It was President Qiao’s Secretary Liu who called us, saying President Qiao was hit."
President Qiao was the deputy general manager of the clothing city, but Director Zhang was of royal kin, mixed in with the boss’s Crown Prince gang, and didn’t care who President Qiao was.
Director Zhang rolled his eyes and ferociously stared at the female secretary, harshly saying, "What do you mean someone hit him? Surely President Qiao must have fought with Dr. Xu, lost, and hurt himself, right?"
Secretary Liu was shocked, adjusting her glasses. Clearly, she had called for security, so how did the situation suddenly turn, with them speaking for the other side?
She was a smart girl and knew better not to offend Director Zhang, so she spread her hands with an innocent look, "I don’t know either, President Qiao told me to call security. I’m just his subordinate, I have to listen to him, I know nothing."
Xu Xiangbei chuckled, this girl was the first to run out to call security. At that time, President Qiao was suffering from the Bone-Cracking Hand, in so much pain that he had lost control of his bowels and bladder, how could he instruct her to call security? She put all the blame on President Qiao.
At this moment, from President Qiao’s office came a miserable cry, "Help me, someone save me."
President Qiao crawled out from the office, leaving a filthy trail where he had passed. Everyone smelled a stench and quickly covered their noses to back away.
The Bone-Cracking Hand severely damaged his tendons, causing a pain from the very bones that no one could bear. President Qiao’s veins were injured, making it impossible for him to stand, he could only crawl out of the office.
Even though some time had passed, the stabbing pain was still surging over him like a tide, making his whole body tremble.
Director Zhang covered his nose with a look of sympathy, "President Qiao, how did you fall like this? I told you to drink less at noon, but you wouldn’t listen, and now you’re hurt? Hurry and call 120 for an ambulance."
President Qiao was stunned, he’s suffering more than the ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty, yet it turned into him falling?
He was indignant at Director Zhang’s nonsense and wanted to argue but saw Xu Xiangbei staring at him, the fierce gaze like the eyes of a demon, making him shiver. The excruciating pain seemed to flood back, and he swallowed his words again.
Xu Xiangbei squatted in front of President Qiao, smiling, "President Qiao, it looks like your fall was serious, hit your head, didn’t you? Don’t speak nonsense, I’ve cured your constipation, and if you still don’t know how to behave, I guarantee next time it won’t just be poop you let out."
President Qiao whimpered, desperately crawling back, wanting to distance himself from Xu Xiangbei, "I understand, I will be a good person."
Xu Xiangbei coldly stood up, "I’m glad you can see sense, now what about Sun Jiajia?"
He feebly said, "Let Secretary Xiao Liu handle it, whatever Dr. Xu says, just do as he says."
Secretary Liu agreed with a faint voice and quietly slipped out from the crowd. Watching a leader’s misfortune is not wise; no matter what happens to President Qiao in the future, she is still his secretary and must obey him.
The sound of urgent high heels came, and Sun Jiajia squeezed into the crowd. She saw President Qiao lying on the ground, like a prisoner suffering abuse, and covered her mouth in fear to stop herself from screaming.
She glanced at the fiercely glaring Xu Xiangbei and understood everything, feeling guilty she told President Qiao, "President Qiao, I’m sorry."
Watching Sun Jiajia look at him like a monster, President Qiao wished he could disappear into the ground, covering his face with his hands.
Xu Xiangbei sneered, "What are you sorry for? He fell by himself, has nothing to do with you, don’t believe me, ask others."
Director Zhang quickly spoke for Xu Xiangbei, "Yes, we all saw President Qiao fall on his own, didn’t we?"
The current officials can’t match those who are present, the security all looked to Director Zhang, and his men quickly said, "It was President Qiao himself who fell."
"President Qiao drank too much, in the future you have to drink less."
"A little wine adds to the pleasure, but too much harms the body."
President Qiao felt both ashamed and angry, these people, they talked so much that he almost believed it.
President Qiao felt so humiliated he wished he could die, he had lost all face today. He started crawling back into the office, "Yes, I carelessly fell myself."
At this moment, he suddenly found that his legs regained sensation, and he scrambled up, staggered, and ran back into the office, slamming the door shut.
Xu Xiangbei grinned at Sun Jiajia and said, "You see, he even admitted it himself. Although President Qiao is of poor character, he’s still quite honest."
Seeing there’s no more show to watch, the crowd dispersed from the hallway in a hurry.
Secretary Liu smiled and ran over with a respectful demeanor, "Hehe, Sun Jiajia, Miss Sun, Teacher Sun, I’ve spoken with the director, your clothes are ready, come give them to the models, the fashion show is about to start."
Seeing Secretary Liu’s attitude shifting 180 degrees, Sun Jiajia was a bit surprised, "The clothes are in my resting room, I’ll get them."
"No need for you to go yourself, I’ll get someone to help move them."
Secretary Liu found two porters and took the clothes away.
While fetching the clothes, she softly approached Xu Xiangbei with a face full of grievances, "Dr. Xu, I heard you’re close with President Qian, could you do me a small favor? I don’t want to be President Qiao’s secretary anymore, he’s always harassing me, could you please ask President Qian if I can change jobs?"
