"Where are you getting that idea???"
Qin Yi was shocked, staring at Han Xin, his eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why she had been so cold and spoken to him that way when he'd called her earlier…
Seeing Qin Yi's strong reaction, Han Xin felt incredibly awkward, her pretty face flushing instantly.
She avoided Qin Yi's gaze, unable to look at him anymore, and said to Liu Xiong, "Liu Xiong, how dare you! You actually dared to embezzle the company's payments to other companies and drug someone…"
"Guards, take him away and call the police!"
"Yes, President!"
The security team immediately rushed to Liu Xiong's side and apprehended him.
"Xiao Xin, you can't do this to me! How can you help an outsider? I'm your uncle…"
Liu Xiong exclaimed in disbelief, struggling and shouting.
"Take him away!"
Han Xin waved her hand, and the security guards forcibly dragged him off.
Qin Yi asked in surprise, "He's your uncle?"
Han Xin shook her head, "He's only distantly related to my maternal grandmother!"
Qin Yi suddenly understood.
However, it was precisely this slight familial connection that Liu Xiong had exploited to act so egregiously within the Han Corporation!
Later, Qin Yi didn't concern himself with Liu Xiong's fate. Since Han Xin had spoken, if the matter were truly investigated, with all the misdeeds he'd committed within the Han Corporation, he was surely finished!
Han Xin gave Qin Yi a bank card with eight million yuan and personally settled the payment for Xin Fa Industrial Company.
"On behalf of Xin Fa Industrial Company, thank you!"
Qin Yi said, holding up the bank card and thanking Han Xin.
Perhaps due to their previous misunderstanding, Han Xin still felt a bit embarrassed and didn't dare to meet Qin Yi's eyes, "You're welcome, this money rightfully belongs to you!"
"By the way, Qin Yi, instead of working at Xin Fa Industrial Company, why don't you come here…"
"Forget it!" Qin Yi shook his head, "I'm only going to Xin Fa Industrial Company to keep my mother at ease and to not let down my uncle's good intentions!"
"Besides, my sister is already working here!"
Han Xin didn't say anything more. She quickly went upstairs, citing that there were still several documents in her office that required her signature.
She made no attempt to ask Qin Yi to stay longer.
Even as he left, Qin Yi keenly sensed Han Xin's awkwardness and her reluctance to face him.
"This little girl, could she have actually fallen for me???"
Qin Yi rubbed his chin, muttering to himself with a strange feeling.
…
Xin Fa Industrial Company.
Sales Department.
At this moment, Huang Shanshan was complaining to Managers Song Jia and Chang Yufei in front of more than a dozen sales department employees.
"Manager Song, Manager Chang, you don't know, I was almost done negotiating with Liu Xiong, and he was about to settle the payment with us, but then Qin Yi went crazy and beat up Liu Xiong…"
Huang Shanshan said with great anger, "In such a situation, how could Liu Xiong possibly be willing to pay? The money that was almost ours is now gone. All our efforts were in vain!"
A murmur went through the sales department upon hearing Huang Shanshan's words.
Both Song Jia, Chang Yufei, and the others wore expressions of shock and disbelief.
"Qin Yi beat up Liu Xiong? Are you kidding me?"
"Has Qin Yi lost his mind? Every time we ask clients for money, we're polite and try to appease them, fearing they won't pay. He actually dared to hit the client!"
"This is too much! Qin Yi is deliberately trying to screw our company, isn't he!"
"Liu Xiong wasn't willing to pay us in the first place, and now that Qin Yi has hit him, it's even more unlikely we'll get this money back!"
"That's a whole eight million yuan…"
For a moment, Yang Zhi, Yuan Guangchuan, and others were in an uproar, all of them cursing Qin Yi.
"Damn it, we shouldn't have hired this Qin Yi in the first place!" Chang Yufei said.
Song Jia glanced at him and asked Huang Shanshan, "Shanshan, did Qin Yi really hit Liu Xiong?"
"Absolutely, I saw it with my own eyes!" Huang Shanshan confirmed.
"Why did he hit Liu Xiong?" Huang Shanshan asked, confused. "Qin Yi went with you to collect the debt. Even if he's new to our company, he should know what he should and shouldn't do! I don't believe he would attack Liu Xiong without reason!"
This time, before Huang Shanshan could answer, Chang Yufei interjected, "Manager Song, have you forgotten? Qin Yi himself just got out of prison and has a criminal record!"
Song Jia: "But…"
"Oh, Manager Song, at this point, why are you still dwelling on the reason why Qin Yi hit him?" Chang Yufei said. "The most important thing now is that because of Qin Yi, the payment from Han Corporation is likely unrecoverable, and our company will lose eight million!"
"With such a huge loss, what should our company do?"
Xin Fa Industrial Company was not a large company; eight million yuan could significantly impact its foundation.
Song Jia's brow furrowed. What he said made sense.
She pondered for a moment and said, "How about you and I go see Liu Xiong again, apologize to him, and hope he can forgive us…"
Chang Yufei interrupted before she could finish, "Qin Yi beat the man up, do you think a simple apology will resolve this? And you know what kind of person Liu Xiong is, he's always difficult to deal with!"
Song Jia's brow was now completely furrowed. She didn't know what to do!
Chang Yufei's eyes flickered, and he said, "I do have an idea that might compensate for our company's loss this time!"
"What???"
Everyone's gaze snapped to him in unison.
"Since we can't recover the payment from Han Corporation this time, and Qin Yi is primarily responsible, then let him compensate our company for the loss!"
"…"
Upon hearing this, almost everyone was stunned.
Song Jia blurted out, "That's eight million yuan, how could Qin Yi possibly afford to pay it!"
"Qin Yi just got out of prison, his family is very poor, and he's still living with someone else…" Huang Shanshan said disdainfully. "Let alone eight million, I estimate they can't even come up with eighty thousand yuan!"
She had intended to say they couldn't even afford eight thousand yuan, but she remembered that Qin Yi had paid thirty-two thousand yuan for a meal at the hotel yesterday, so she changed it to eighty thousand.
Yang Zhi, Yuan Guangchuan, and others nodded in agreement, stating that Huang Shanshan was correct.
A cold smile appeared on Chang Yufei's face, "Whether he can afford it or not is his problem! Anyway, if the payment from Han Corporation isn't recovered this time, he will bear full responsibility!"
"If he doesn't have the money and can't cover our company's loss, then I'll sue him and send him back to prison!"
Qin Yi had slapped him twice yesterday; he would send him back to prison for another twenty years.
