Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Confronting People, Venting Anger

Luo Qiao asked somewhat impolitely, "As far as I know, this girl made a mistake before, so why hasn’t the department store taken any action and instead allowed her to continue working here? She even threatened to have her backer fire my cousin just now.

What, does she own this department store? She’s so full of herself. I’d really like to know who her backer is. It’s bad enough to have an affair at work, but to interfere with personnel matters, too? That’s really something."

As Luo Qiao spoke her piece, Bai Haixia’s face turned red and then pale, unable to come up with a response, and she shot an angry glance at Bai Miaomiao.

At that moment, Kong Xiangru (who was also Kong Xiangrui’s second brother) spoke up, "What is actually going on here?"

Sweat now covered Bai Haixia’s forehead, "Leader, it’s nothing serious. I can take care of it immediately. Maybe you should go to the office to sit for a bit first."

Luo Qiao couldn’t help but laugh, "You sure react fast, ’taking care of it immediately.’ How exactly are you planning to handle it? By abusing your power? Since it’s not a big deal, let’s sort it out right in front of the leader. I’ve never heard that someone from the purchasing department could meddle in personnel issues.

Could it be that this Ms. Bai from purchasing and someone in the HR department have some kind of relationship?" The words scared Bai Haixia, making her scalp tingle. It seemed that this young girl was capable of speaking deadly words.

Because indeed, she did have an affair with Fan Bing, the head of HR, but she believed it had been kept a secret. How did she know?

Bai Haixia, with a darkened face, angrily said, "Young lady, please mind your words and the setting. Don’t go slinging mud at others over a trivial matter. You wouldn’t want to make it difficult for Ning Lingyu in the future."

Luo Qiao got fired up, seeing this as a threat using her cousin, "Slinging mud? Who did I sling mud at? Your protest reveals your guilt, doesn’t it?"

The implication in her eyes left Bai Haixia wishing she could just die.

Kong Xiangru from the other side hadn’t expected Lu Yichen’s wife to be so formidable, rendering Bai Haixia speechless.

He then said, "Since I have come across this matter today, I will see it through to the end. Let’s all move to the office, so we don’t disturb the customers’ shopping experience."

Luo Qiao had been wondering how to avenge her cousin, and now that Bai Miaomiao had come looking for trouble, why hold back?

Moving to the department store’s conference room and sitting down, Luo Qiao whispered to Ning Lingyu, "Cousin, you mustn’t cower. Even if you don’t work here, I can find you something better. Besides, you might not even lose this job."

Ning Lingyu nodded, "I understand. Anyway, I’ve completed my school registration. If necessary, I’ll just go back to classes."

Her cousin had stood up for her; she couldn’t let her down now, not to mention that she wasn’t the type to swallow her pride and remain silent.

Kong Xiangru asked, "Who wants to start by explaining what really happened?"

Ning Lingyu stood up first and recounted the previous incident and what happened today, without any exaggeration, just the plain truth.

Kong Xiangru looked at Bai Miaomiao sitting to the side and seeing Bai Haixia about to interject, he stopped her with a hand gesture, then asked Bai Miaomiao, "Do you have anything to add to her account?"

Bai Miaomiao was extremely nervous. Luo Qiao had said earlier that if she lied, they would call the police. She didn’t dare take the risk and so nodded in agreement, "Nothing to add."

Kong Xiangru continued, "So you’re saying that what she has told us is the truth, correct?"

Bai Miaomiao’s whole face went pale. She wanted to look at her aunt for help, but Kong Xiangru said coldly, "Answer me."

Bai Miaomiao could only nod, "Yes."

Kong Xiangru then directly addressed the manager of the department store, "So, about what the young lady just said, why hasn’t an employee like this been dealt with?"

The manager of the department store, Yan Hongli, spoke, "I was out for training and only returned to work yesterday. I am honestly not very clear about this matter."

He then turned his head toward Fan Bing, the head of HR. Sitting at the end, Fan Bing hadn’t expected the situation to fall on him, and he wasn’t eager to take the blame.

So he said, "It was Group Leader Bai from purchasing who came to me. I thought since there was no actual loss, we just gave a verbal warning."
