Wu Huixian was extremely anxious, shaking her head repeatedly to explain:
"Mr. Jin... Mr. Jin, please don't misunderstand, Cao Yu and I..."
Cao Yu didn't give Wu Huixian a chance to explain, and with a cold laugh, he snatched her words:
"Jin Yongping, are you so angry because you're embarrassed that your lies have been exposed? But then again, facts speak louder than words. Jin Fang Pharmaceutical is failing, it's failing. If you think I've wronged you, do you dare to take us to your production workshop or warehouse to have a look right now?"
"You..."
Jin Yongping's face instantly turned red and her neck bulged with anger. Without thinking, she retorted without hesitation:
"If you see two million worth of Chinese medicinal herbs piled up in my warehouse later, and several employees busy at work in the workshop, what will you say then?"
She wasn't stupid, of course she could see that Cao Yu was pursuing Wu Huixian, and she could even see that Wu Huixian was very disgusted with Cao Yu.
"Heh."
Cao Yu sneered disdainfully and said sarcastically:
"If that's the case, I'll quit my job at the hospital and help you work."
"With your father's garbage character, I'd rather use a pig or a dog than use you!"
Jin Yongping was instantly disgusted. She stood up abruptly and left, saying without looking back:
"If you're not afraid of being slapped in the face, come on!"
"Ms. Jin, please listen to my explanation..."
Wu Huixian was even more anxious. She could no longer bother with Cao Yu and quickly chased after her, almost crying with worry.
At this moment, she no longer dared to think about whether she could stay and work at Jin Fang Pharmaceutical. She just hoped to quickly clarify the misunderstanding and gain Jin Yongping's forgiveness.
"Wu Huixian, how dare you leave me hanging? You're simply ungrateful! When I finally get you into my bed, I'll see if you're still so proud!"
Cao Yu's face was gloomy, and he cursed inwardly. Without thinking, he followed them out in a swaggering manner. Then, following the signs, he rushed ahead of Jin Yongping and Wu Huixian, heading towards Jin Fang Pharmaceutical's production workshop like lightning. With a sudden kick, he kicked open the loosely closed workshop door.
"This..."
The first thing Cao Yu saw was Xia Qianqian, Lin Meiqi, and Luo Lin, and he was stunned on the spot.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have dreamed that the small Jin Fang Pharmaceutical was hiding beauties. The women preparing Chinese medicinal pastes at the workstations in the workshop were all more beautiful and sexier than the last.
And then, when he inadvertently saw Pan Haitang there, he was completely dumbfounded.
Because his workplace, the First Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Medical University, was directly managed by the Provincial Medical University. Pan Haitang was not only a professor in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of the Provincial Medical University but also a high-ranking official at the First Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Medical University. Normally, when she inspected the hospital, she was accompanied by at least associate chief physicians. Now, she was working like a laborer in the production workshop of Jin Fang Pharmaceutical.
Sensing everyone's gaze fixed on him, Cao Yu felt cold sweat break out on his forehead. He quickly bowed and scraped his way towards Pan Haitang's workstation, forcing a smile that was uglier than crying:
"Professor... Professor Pan, why... why are you here?"
Pan Haitang interacted with too many people every day to remember everyone. Moreover, Cao Yu had kicked down the door, clearly with ill intentions. Even if Pan Haitang had any impression, she wouldn't admit it. She said unceremoniously:
"Who are you? I don't think I know you!"
"This..."
Cao Yu was speechless, his expression both ugly and nervous, his tone even more humble:
"Professor Pan, I am Cao Yu from the First Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Medical University..."
Chen Xiao frowned slightly, and with a cold laugh, he interrupted Cao Yu:
"Who allowed you to violently kick down my door?"
Leng Shan understood immediately and stood up abruptly, blocking Cao Yu's path. Although he was over fifty, he was a martial arts master who had cultivated inner strength, and his specialty was the orthodox Snake Fist, known for its viciousness. The moment he released his aura, he exuded a poisonous snake's oppressive aura from head to toe.
"This... that... I..."
Cao Yu became even more nervous, to the point where he couldn't even speak properly.
Just then, Jin Yongping, while leading a nervous Wu Huixian, ran over and pointed at Cao Yu unceremoniously, saying:
"Dr. Chen, this fellow is the son of Cao Xingwang, the boss of the neighboring Xingwang Chinese Herbal Medicine Wholesale Company. He's here to cause trouble at our Jin Fang Pharmaceutical!"
As Jin Yongping finished speaking, Leng Shan's expression grew colder.
At the same time, Zheng Liming, exuding the powerful aura of a chairman, also stood up to greet them.
Cao Yu completely panicked and quickly pointed at Wu Huixian, explaining nervously:
"No! It's not like that! Wu Huixian is my girlfriend. I'm accompanying her here for an interview..."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Yu suddenly turned pale with shock because he clearly saw Chen Xiao pounce towards him like a gust of wind.
"Slap—"
The next second, with a crisp sound, Chen Xiao cleanly and decisively slapped Cao Yu squarely on the face, his expression turning extremely cold:
"Accompanying your girlfriend for an interview gives you the right to kick down my door?"
"You... you... you..."
Cao Yu felt his slapped face burning with pain. Even though he had experienced it himself, he couldn't believe he had been hit, and by a young man who looked only in his early twenties.
What he found most unacceptable was that Chen Xiao was taller and better-looking than him. In front of Chen Xiao, he clearly felt inferior, like he wasn't even as good as a clown.
In an instant, he no longer cared about Pan Haitang's presence, nor did he fear Leng Shan and Zheng Liming. He roared at Chen Xiao with a ferocious expression:
"So what if I kicked down the door? With the money my dad has, I can even have Jin Fang Pharmaceutical demolished with a single word..."
Wu Huixian would never have dreamed of seeing her childhood sweetheart Chen Xiao at Jin Fang Pharmaceutical, nor would she have imagined that Chen Xiao would slap Cao Yu within a single encounter. She was completely stunned. Before Cao Yu could finish speaking, she finally snapped out of her shock and instinctively shook her head repeatedly to explain:
"Chen... Chen Xiao, don't listen to Cao Yu's nonsense. I'm not his girlfriend at all. I just happened to run into him at the door when I came to Jin Fang Pharmaceutical for an interview."
She would rather resign than deal with the persistent Cao Yu, so how could she not refute him when she heard him talking nonsense about her in public? Especially not in front of the man of her dreams whom she had secretly admired for a long, long time.
Fearing that Chen Xiao wouldn't believe her, she uncontrollably threw herself into Chen Xiao's arms as she spoke, crying and lamenting:
"Chen Xiao, I swear to heaven, I was single during my internship at the hospital and never had any close contact with any man beyond a colleague relationship!"
"You... you know each other?"
Cao Yu watched helplessly as the woman he had been desperately pursuing, yet had never even touched a strand of her hair, threw herself into another man's arms. He became even more enraged, shouting hoarsely:
"Good! Good! You dogs and bitches! You just wait, I'll call my dad right now to send people over to deal with you!"
