Upon hearing Qin Yun praise her beauty, Zhao Qingshuang felt secretly delighted. She flicked her hair and flashed a rather teasing smile.

"Boss, are you tempted?"

"I..." Qin Yun's heart tightened.

Suddenly, he sensed a gaze full of jealousy directed at him.

Jiang Tianran was staring at him with eyes like overturned vinegar jars, as if she would jump up and knee him if he dared to say yes.

Qin Yun felt awkward; they were all comrades, wasn't this unnecessary?

Of course, now, they were no longer just comrades.

That night, Jiang Tianran had taken the initiative, teasing him, and he had turned the tables. Now, with Zhao Qingshuang here, would it happen again?

What kind of luck was this?

Seven comrades, all beauties, and all chasing after him?

Was this his year of romance?

Qin Yun, who had never been in a serious relationship, felt caught in a dilemma. Scratching the back of his head, he quickly found an excuse.

"Well, I have to go to work. You guys chat, I'm leaving."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yun made a quick escape!

His speed was like dodging a missile.

After he left, Jiang Tianran crossed her arms, looked at Zhao Qingshuang, and pursed her lips, "Fox spirit, hmph!"

Zhao Qingshuang's face darkened, "You dare call me that, Jiang Tianran, be honest, have you and the boss already crossed that line?"

Jiang Tianran puffed out her chest arrogantly, "That's right."

"So what!"

"Being close has its advantages, mind your own business."

"You..."

Zhao Qingshuang was furious, "You call me a fox spirit, Jiang Tianran, you're shameless."

Jiang Tianran was unfazed, "Whatever, the boss is already mine."

Zhao Qingshuang chuckled, "That's not certain. Who says sleeping together means he's yours? Just wait, I'll win him over too."

"You dare!"

"I dare!"

"Zhao Qingshuang, you're shameless."

...

...

"Finally escaped those two. Oh dear, having too much romantic luck is a curse. Normal couples need to build their relationship!"

"For me, there's no need to build anything. Five years as comrades, we've faced life and death together."

"Isn't that deeper than ordinary relationships? Seven of them, I don't even know how to choose."

Qin Yun sighed as he walked into Liu Ya's company. But as soon as he stepped in, he felt the oppressive atmosphere throughout the company.

"What's going on?"

"Why does it feel so tense?"

He pulled out a cigarette, saw Old Chen squatting at the entrance, and immediately went over, offering him one.

"What's up, Old Chen? Why does everyone in the company look so grim today? What happened?"

Seeing Qin Yun, Old Chen's eyes widened, and he quickly pulled him aside, "Oh, Xiao Qin, you don't know about today's personnel changes in the company, it's terrifying."

"Several people who started the company with President Liu were fired, even their shares were taken back. Besides them, employees close to those old shareholders were also let go."

"Now everyone is on edge, afraid President Liu will fire more people. No one knows what's going on with her."

"Comrades who started the company together, just fired like that, without a chance."

Hearing this, Qin Yun realized it was about that. He thought something had happened to Cuihua.

Wasn't it because that bastard Xu De colluded with outsiders to frame Cuihua?

If it were him, he would have done the same.

Why keep traitors in the company?

Treat them like ancestors?

Cuihua did the right thing.

But it wasn't enough; those people should be completely ruined and thrown out.

Firing them was too lenient.

A monthly salary of tens of thousands wasn't enough?

Look at him, earning twenty thousand a month, doing what kind of work? Starting off fighting with gang leaders, dealing with hundreds of people, the pressure was immense!

"Old Chen, don't worry, they won't fire you." Qin Yun patted Liu Ya's shoulder.

Old Chen clasped his hands, "Alright, alright, thanks for your kind words."

"Alright then."

"I'm going to see President Liu!"

"Okay."

Qin Yun turned towards the elevator. In the entire company, he was probably the only one with the guts to go see Cuihua now.

When he reached the office, he saw Liu Ya buried in paperwork, her face extremely grim.

"Cuihua."

Hearing the voice, Liu Ya looked up and, seeing it was Qin Yun, felt a tremor in her heart.

Thinking of how Qin Yun and Jiang Tianran had helped her solve a problem at Yunle Pavilion yesterday, a complex emotion surged within her.

"What's up, Cuihua? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Do I have a pimple on my face?"

"Shouldn't be!"

Qin Yun muttered, "Didn't mom say that after a man gets a girlfriend, he won't get pimples anymore?"

He quickly checked himself in a nearby mirror, looking up and down, but found no pimples.

"None."

Liu Ya took a deep breath, clenching her fists, "Qin Yun, maybe... you should leave the company!"

"What the hell!"

Qin Yun was startled.

He had just assured Old Chen he wouldn't be fired, and now he was being let go?

Qin Yun's mouth twitched, "Why? I didn't do anything wrong, why fire me?"

Liu Ya lowered her head, "Your girlfriend is Jiang Tianran, the Eldest Miss of the Jiang Family. The Jiang Clan is powerful in Jiangnan and a top family in Jiang Province."

"If you ask, what wouldn't you get? Staying here is a waste of your time, I can't help you, and you'll be ridiculed outside."

"I was just following Auntie's advice to look after you after your discharge, but now I see you don't need my help. Instead, I've needed your help twice."

"Qin Yun, there's no need for you to stay here."

A wave of intense inferiority surged in Liu Ya's heart.

Hearing this, Qin Yun chuckled bitterly. Goodness, was this girl getting jealous too?

He pursed his lips, "So..."

"Is that really what you think?"

Liu Ya remained silent, just gripping the papers on the desk, crumpling the corners.

Qin Yun: "Not speaking?"

"Then... should I go?"

Qin Yun pretended to turn away.

"Wait." Liu Ya stopped him.

Qin Yun chuckled, knowing she couldn't bear to let him go!

"What is it?"

Liu Ya swallowed, "I'll pay you for these two days, no, I'll give you two months' salary."

Qin Yun snorted, "Didn't you say I have a girlfriend like Jiang Tianran, would I lack this money?"

"No need, no need, keep it for yourself!"

Qin Yun turned back, opened the office door, and stepped out.

At that moment, Liu Ya was furious, standing up and slamming the desk, "You're really leaving!"

Qin Yun pulled his foot back, closed the door.

"Just teasing you."

"Why can't you take a joke, Cuihua!"

"How could I abandon you?"

Liu Ya stomped her foot in anger, "You, you, you, Qin Yun, you bastard, can't you see? I'm in a bad mood and just want you to comfort me."

"And you pretend to leave to scare me, are you so easily pushed away?"

This tone, tsk, Qin Yun felt a jolt in his heart.

"Damn."

"Cuihua."

"Could it be you like me too?"
