Flashy Circle 3

After Ning Qi's wedding, Ling Shang stopped by for a business trip in Europe.

Back in the city, as soon as he got off the plane, he heard the secretary's report: He Xiutong had a dispute with his colleague, and the two started fighting.

"He Xiutong?" After hearing the news, Ling Shang frowned, not without surprise, "Fighted with a colleague?"

The secretary nodded, "The General Affairs Department called and said so. It is said that a colleague was dissatisfied with He Xiutong's appointment as a chef assistant, and his words were too aggressive. The two... started fighting."

"He Xiutong moved first?"

"Yes. Both were injured and have been sent to the hospital for treatment."

"Are you seriously injured?"

The secretary was alert, so he knew who Ling Shang was asking, "There is nothing serious in general, but his face was swollen from the beating."

Ling Shang nodded as he walked. "The employee who had a dispute with him, check his information. It is estimated that some faction is behind the scenes."

The secretary answered, "It has been checked by someone, and I will report to you in a while. The car to the hospital is also ready, and it is just outside the airport."

Ling Shang stopped and turned to look at the secretary who was following him.The latter stood quietly and respectfully.

"Not bad." Ling Shang said approvingly.

He doesn't like the employees around him who know too many secrets, but he also doesn't like his subordinates who don't know how to guess their minds.Usually say what should be said, do what should be done, show a little edge when necessary, retract freely, and don't overwhelm the host, only then can you be a usable talent.

-

He Xiutong was not seriously injured.With medicine applied to his face, he can leave the hospital.

But he was carrying the bag containing the medicine and sitting blankly on a chair in the waiting room with his head down.

Why did he beat someone up?The other party didn't know how badly he was injured, and the strength of his fist seemed to be quite heavy...

I'm afraid that Ling Shang will be troubled again.He Xiutong, you are really an idiot!

"Hiss..." He blamed himself angrily, pulled the nerves in his face, and took a breath in pain.

The face hurts, and the eyes hurt.

Really, He Xiutong, why are you so stupid?If you are smarter, you don’t need much, just a little, maybe you can help him a lot...

"Are you blaming yourself again?" The voice made He Xiutong raise his head abruptly.

Ling Shang was already standing in front of him. "Get up, I'll take you back."

"...Yes, I'm sorry..." He Xiutong stood up and apologized in a low voice.

His face was covered with white gauze, and his already swollen face looked even more swollen, comically ugly.

Ling Shang patted his head, "I know you must have a reason for doing it, and I won't blame you."

He Xiutong looked at him, "Then I... still, can I help, help you..."

Ling Shang looked at him for a while, "...of course."

-

The two sat in the back seat of the car.

As the car was driving on the road, Ling Shang asked, "What did that person say that made you so angry that you need to solve it yourself?"

He Xiutong buried his head and looked at his toes, but didn't speak.

Ling Shang didn't force him to ask, "...that person's injuries are not serious, just a few bruises. But you guys fought in the workplace, violated the rules, and disrupted order, so you will inevitably be punished."

He Xiutong responded with a soft "um", expressing his understanding.

"You go home and rest for a week, and come back to work after the swelling on your face subsides."

After a long time, He Xiutong nodded.

-

The next day, when Ling Shang came to the office, people from the General Affairs Department were already waiting.

He Xiutong didn't have any outstanding achievements before, and being sent to France for training was a special case, and now he has become a chef's assistant as soon as he comes back. Even if there is no hatred from his colleagues, it is hard to guarantee that no one in the board of directors will remember it.

He is the person appointed by Ling Shang, hitting him is hitting Ling Shang.Ling Shang sent He Xiutong to France, making it clear that he wanted to cultivate his party members, and the old foxes in the board of directors would not allow him to become powerful.

Now let's see how Ling Shang handles this matter.

"Both were suspended for one week, half-year allowances and year-end bonuses were cancelled, and criticisms were circulated within the group." The secretary conveyed the opinion to the director of the General Affairs Department.

"But... After all, it was He Xiutong who hurt people first, so that's it?"

"That's it." The secretary replied affirmatively.

After the director of the general affairs department left, the secretary came in to report to Ling Shang. "President, there is a regular meeting of directors this Friday, do we need to prepare in advance, in case other directors criticize this matter?"

"No need. Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover." Ling Shang responded calmly.

He has seen this kind of thing a lot.He Xiutong is his man, and he will definitely protect him to the end.

-

He Xiutong was at home, in a daze all day long.

Jiang Junsen has already moved away, and he doesn't even have anyone to talk to.Moreover, his face was swollen, and he couldn't go out often.

However, a few enthusiastic colleagues called to check on his situation.

It doesn't matter to him, he only worries about Ling Shang.

Actually, why does Ling Shang need him to worry?But some things, some emotions, cannot be controlled rationally.

He started fighting with his colleague because the other party said something bad about Ling Shang.

He Xiutong doesn't care what others say about him, he is used to it.But he really couldn't bear others to slander Ling Shang.

Did that colleague say one sentence or two?He Xiutong couldn't control himself, he swung his fist up.

He has always been weak and obedient, and what he did, he was taken aback afterwards.

But he has no regrets.

However, let him hide this feeling in his heart.Ling still doesn't need to know.

-

On Friday afternoon, Ling Shang came to see him.

"I-I'm not sure about anything, I'm ready..." He Xiutong originally planned to cook only noodles for dinner.

"What do you want to prepare? Just bring yourself." Ling Shang smiled, "You have been stuck in this house for a few days, so go to the beach with me this weekend to relax."

"Uh... But, but..."

"But" didn't work, and He Xiutong was finally stuffed into the car.

-

The Ling family has a private beach in the Bay Area.The weather is good, the waves near the coast are not crazy, and the small waves are very gentle.

Fine sand and soft waves, sunset red clouds.

"Good, so beautiful." He Xiutong took off his shoes, soaked in the sea barefoot, felt the quicksand under his feet, and looked at the afterglow seascape.

The waves receded and the shells were scattered.He Xiutong looked around and knelt down to pick one by one.

Ling Shang looked at it for a while, rolled up his trousers, and walked to him, "Do you need help?"

He Xiutong looked up at him, shook his head with a smile, and raised his hand, "This, this, for you."

In his palm was a white shell, not too big, but with clear lines, probably the most beautiful he could find.

Ling Shang smiled and took the shell, "Thank you."

He also squatted down and looked at He Xiutong, "Not only thank you for this shell, but also, thank you for what you did to protect me."

Hearing this, He Xiutong was stunned.

"You hit someone because they said something bad about me, right?"

The question came so suddenly that He Xiutong didn't know whether to shake his head or nod.

Ling Shang looked straight at him, making him even more at a loss; He Xiutong felt his face heat up, and lowered his head embarrassedly.

When he heard the secretary tell the result of this investigation, Ling Shang's first reaction was - how stupid.

But He Xiutong's stupidity is not sincere.

Ling Shang has always disliked creatures with low IQ, but now, this kappa is an exception.

How much do you have to like someone, a weak Kappa will be so desperate.

There is a long way to go in life, if this "not too bad" person is He Xiutong, it would be great.

The sun has set, the sky is dark blue, and the sea breeze has picked up.

Ling Shang pulled He Xiutong to stand up.

"Kappa, let's fall in love."

He Xiutong blinked, then suddenly opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth, "What, what, what?"

Ling Shang smiled, "I said, I like you."

He Xiutong remained the same, unable to regain consciousness.

Ling Shang was also patient, waiting for the Kappa to digest his words slowly.

Finally, the Kappa became excited, "This...how, how is this possible, this is possible? This is no, it is impossible, it is possible..."

"Are you refusing?"

Once again, He Xiutong didn't know whether to shake his head or nod, his heart was in a mess.

Ling Shang sighed deeply, "...well, I won't force you either. Let's go back."

Before he turned around and took a few steps, someone grabbed the hem of his clothes.

When he turned his head, He Xiutong's eyes were red, and he wanted to answer excitedly, "I, I, I..."

Kappa was speechless.But he tightly clutched the corner of Ling Shang's clothes, with unconcealable emotion in his eyes.

He was about to cry, at this moment, Ling Shang hugged him tightly.
