However, just as his hand was about to touch Mu Qingqing, she dodged.

"Manager Qiao, please behave yourself," Mu Qingqing said coldly.

Just now, Qiao Ran had deliberately spilled red wine on her, trying to take advantage of her.

Humiliated in front of everyone by a female employee, Qiao Ran's eyes turned cold: "What nonsense are you spouting, who wants to take advantage of you? I wouldn't want someone like you even if you were handed to me for free."

"You..." Mu Qingqing's face turned red with anger upon hearing this.

Looking at the intern badge on Mu Qingqing, Qiao Ran sneered: "You're fired."

"What?" Mu Qingqing's expression changed at Qiao Ran's words.

Mu Qingqing had just graduated from college and found this job. Her family was not well-off, and now her mother was seriously ill, relying on her salary for hospital fees. Losing this job meant her mother's illness couldn't be treated.

"On what grounds are you firing me?" Mu Qingqing said angrily.

"Because you insulted a superior. Fine, pack your things and leave," Qiao Ran sneered.

Seeing Mu Qingqing's predicament, many people sighed inwardly.

Many of them had been bullied by Qiao Ran before, but they dared not speak up because they knew if they resisted, they would end up like Mu Qingqing.

"Qingqing is mine. No one has the authority to fire her except me," Lin Chen said blandly.

"No authority?" Qiao Ran's eyes turned cold as he looked at Lin Chen.

"I was wondering who you are, turns out you're just a kept man. Who do you think you are?" Qiao Ran said coldly.

Lin Chen looked at Qiao Ran coldly and gave a slight smile. With a wave of his hand, he slapped.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Qiao Ran was slapped by Lin Chen and flew off, landing heavily on a nearby dining table.

Boom!

Everyone was stunned. No one expected Lin Chen to be so formidable, to slap the eldest son of the Qiao family with one move.

Qiao Ran climbed up from the table, several teeth had fallen out, his mouth a bloody mess.

"You, you dare hit me, I'll fight you to the death," Qiao Ran charged towards Lin Chen as he got up from the floor.

But just as he reached Lin Chen, he was slapped away once more.

"Kid, you dare hit me, you're dead. I'm going to find my cousin, both you and she will have to get out of the company," Qiao Ran learned his lesson this time, instead of getting up, he pointed at Lin Chen and cursed.

"Dare to touch my people, you're just asking for a beating." Before Qiao Ran could stand up, Lin Chen walked over and picked him up.

"Smack, smack, smack!" Another dozen slaps.

The entire restaurant fell silent, who would have thought the arrogant Qiao Ran would be slapped while being held.

This guy must be crazy, to openly beat up the eldest son of the Qiao family.

"Assistant!" At this moment, a cold voice rang out.

Lin Chen snorted coldly and then tossed the Qiao Ran, who looked like a beaten pig, to the side.

Qiao Xue walked over with cold eyes, staring at Lin Chen: "Care to explain what's going on?"

Lin Chen said lightly: "He insulted my female employee, I was just teaching him how to behave."

"Cousin, I just accidentally spilled red wine on that girl, and he came at me violently. Quickly, fire this guy," Qiao Ran said angrily.

In fact, Qiao Xue had already heard about Qiao Ran's behavior in the company, especially his harassment of female employees, which made her very angry.

But due to Qiao Yong's face, she didn't want to make things too tense, so she turned a blind eye.

Now Lin Chen's actions in teaching Qiao Ran a lesson were precisely what she wished for.

Qiao Xue said indifferently: "Sorry, Lin Chen was brought into the company by grandpa. No one but grandpa has the authority to fire him."

"What? Grandpa!" Qiao Ran nodded.

"Fine, fine, I'll call grandpa to have him fire Lin Chen," Qiao Ran said as he picked up the phone and dialed Qiao Shan's number.

As soon as the call connected, Qiao Ran started whining like a resentful woman: "Grandpa, the guy you brought into the company doesn't respect our Qiao family at all. He attacked me viciously just for a woman."

"I'm well aware of Lin Chen's character. If you didn't do anything wrong, he wouldn't have hit you. Behave yourself, my patience with you and your father is limited." Qiao Shan said coldly and hung up the phone.

Qiao Shan had spoiled this only grandson of the Qiao family before, but he had become more and more excessive, often doing outrageous things, frequenting nightclubs, and even getting a third-rate star pregnant, causing quite a scandal.

Especially when Old Qiao was critically ill, this only grandson chose to accompany his sick pet dog instead of him.

This incident made Qiao Shan completely disappointed in this grandson, not bothering to deal with him.

Seeing Qiao Ran's deflated look, Qiao Xue naturally understood the result and said lightly: "Alright, let's leave it at that. But Lin Chen, I hope you be cautious. This is a company, if you hit someone again next time, I won't let it go so easily."

Lin Chen gave a faint smile: "Wife, Chairman, it depends on the situation. If another predator dares to harass our female employees, I'll continue to act without hesitation."

"Fine, fine, you all bully me, I'll go tell my dad," seeing the two's ambiguous interaction, Qiao Ran stomped his foot in anger and stormed off.

At this moment, the entire restaurant erupted in thunderous applause.

Clearly, Lin Chen's actions in teaching Qiao Ran a lesson were very popular, especially with those girls who had been humiliated by Qiao Ran. Lin Chen did what they wanted to do but didn't dare.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Xue was also taken aback. She didn't expect Lin Chen's lesson to Qiao Ran would win such high popular support.

Shaking her head helplessly, Qiao Xue prepared to leave the restaurant.

"Wife, Chairman, care to join me for a meal?" Lin Chen said with a smile.

"It's Chairman, with no other adjectives in front, and I'm dieting, not having lunch," Qiao Xue glared at Lin Chen and turned to leave.

Qiao Ran arrived at the Vice President's office, opened the door, and burst into tears.

"Dad, you have to stand up for me!"

"Son, how did you end up like this?" Seeing Qiao Ran's miserable state, Qiao Yong almost didn't recognize him.

"Dad, it was Qiao Xue's boyfriend who beat me up. To make it worse, not only did that damn woman Qiao Xue not care about me, but even grandpa ignored me. Dad, you have to avenge me!" Qiao Ran sobbed with snot and tears.

Qiao Yong's eyes flashed with intense killing intent: "Don't worry, son, I'll avenge you. I'll make those two wish they were dead."

After Qiao Xue left, Lin Chen and Mu Qingqing sat down to eat.

Mu Qingqing blushed: "Thank you, President Lin."

Lin Chen gave a slight smile: "Protecting my secretary is what I should do. If anything comes up in the future, just find me."

"Thank you, President Lin," Mu Qingqing smiled.

Just then, Mu Qingqing's phone suddenly rang. She picked up the call, her expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly stood up and rushed out.
