HPDBC Chapter 891 Resignation Interview
Chapter 891 Resignation Interview
Ye Lingfeng almost slipped and dropped the little girl due to her cheesy words.
Impossible, his daughter wasn't like this!
He glared fiercely at Qin Lie--what exactly did he do to his daughter?
Qin Lie gave him a calm glance, as if to say, You just don't know Zhouzhou well enough.
The little cheesy girl had always been like this.
Though he might feel disdain, she was still salvageable after a wash.
Pouting, Ye Lingfeng carried Zhouzhou straight to the basement.
Seeing this, a knowing look flashed across Qin Lie's eyes.
As expected, he was bringing him here.
Since they were already here, Ye Lingfeng wasn't worried about him running away.
He tapped his finger on a door, and it opened immediately, revealing what was inside.
In front of them lay a man with a bluish hue, his limbs swollen as if inflated.
Hearing the noise, Garen struggled to open his eyes. When he saw that familiar chubby face, his eyes widened instantly.
Zhouzhou jumped down from Ye Lingfeng's grasp, ran over to Garen, and after inspecting him, asked, "Sharp Tongue Daddy, why is he here?"
"There are some things I need to ask him," Ye Lingfeng replied, casting a glance at Garen with a hint of amusement, then gently ruffled Zhouzhou's hair. "Thanks to you, his interrogation went particularly smoothly this time."
The poisons from the rainforest were far more terrifying than any torture.
And combined with Zhouzhou's antidote, it made him wish he were dead--neither able to live nor die, only hoping to confess quickly so Ye Lingfeng could end his suffering.
Everything had already been extracted. Ye Lingfeng pulled out a piece of paper and waved it in front of Garen.
"You're sure you've told us everything?"
Rubbing his chin, he mused aloud, "Maybe I should leak the news that you've been captured, see who shows up to silence you."
Upon hearing this, Garen's eyes nearly popped out of his head. He stared at Ye Lingfeng in disbelief, his face contorting.
How could someone be like this?
Which one of us is the real villain here?
Why does it feel like he's even worse than me?!@@@@
Zhouzhou, picking up on the idea, said, "I think that's a great plan. Don't worry."
She even tried to reassure Garen, "I'll set up an array around you so they can't get in. You'll be safe."
"Oh, but the array can't block bullets... What should we do about that?"
The little chubby girl rubbed her chin thoughtfully, while Garen shook with rage.
Is she even human?
This little chubby girl is truly endearing when she's being lovable, but infuriating when she's up to mischief.
She's sneaky, but completely unaware of it--which is the most frustrating part!
"Alright," he called Zhouzhou over, pulling her away to avoid pushing Garen to the brink of breaking the charm.
Zhouzhou obediently quieted down, tilting her head and gazing up at Ye Lingfeng with eager eyes, hoping for praise.
Ye Lingfeng pinched her cheek before turning to Qin Lie and saying, "Someone wants to see you."
Hearing this, Qin Lie looked over, puzzled.
Who could it be?
Without a word, Ye Lingfeng led him to another room, where a figure already appeared on the large screen.
Zhouzhou blurted out, "Uncle Director!"
It was Zhao Xinghua, of course.
Qin Lie's expression shifted with obvious surprise.
He hadn't expected Zhao Xinghua to be the one wanting to meet him.
Though he didn't know him well, it was clear from his position that Zhao Xinghua's level of secrecy must rival Ye Lingfeng's.
Yet, here he was, appearing before Qin Lie without any attempt to conceal his face.
He really trusts me this much?
Noticing Qin Lie's confusion, Zhao Xinghua chuckled.
"You're Zhouzhou's father. She always speaks highly of you, so I'm sure you're trustworthy."
At this, Qin Lie glanced at Zhouzhou.
She gave him a sweet smile, tinged with a hint of flattery.
Qin Lie didn't like seeing her with that expression.
His daughter should be wild and free, never needing to please anyone.
Yet here she was, doing so for his sake.
Feeling a pang in his chest, he looked back at Zhao Xinghua, composed himself, and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"Of course," Zhao Xinghua replied, his tone calm.
Out of the camera's view lay a pile of wet tissues, used to wipe his tears.
Who could blame him?
He had finally managed to recruit Zhouzhou, only for her father to step in and take her away. How could he just sit back?
If he weren't so far away and pressed for time, he would've flown over in person for a face-to-face talk.
Who would have thought that instead of negotiating a resignation with an employee, he would end up negotiating with her father?
What a tough life!
