Chapter 263 - 151: Pan Kejia’s Sinister Move, Your Sister Shiqing Loves You Too Much

Chapter 263: Chapter 151: Pan Kejia’s Sinister Move, Your Sister Shiqing Loves You Too Much

Chen Mo shrugged and said casually.

"A female executive at our company, same level as Xia Shiqing, said something bad about you, so Xia Shiqing just slapped her. They ended up getting into a huge fight at the office."

Pan Kejia didn’t beat around the bush, hitting him with the explosive news right away.

"What?"

Chen Mo froze for a moment, a look of utter disbelief on his face.

’Xia Shiqing got into a huge fight with a female executive at the office? Just because the woman said one bad thing about me?’

’Is that something a person with her cool and distant personality would do?’

He figured either Pan Kejia had misspoke, or he had misheard.

"Pretty unbelievable, right? I couldn’t believe it when I first saw it, either. But I promise you, it’s true. I was there breaking up the fight myself."

"I found out why, too. The other executive said something bad about you right to her face, and Xia Shiqing just went for it."

"Xia Shiqing’s exact words were: ’She can say bad things about me, but not about my boyfriend. I’ll teach her a lesson, even if it means losing this job.’"

As if she could guess Chen Mo’s reaction, Pan Kejia went on to explain the whole story in detail.

After listening to her, Chen Mo was both surprised and amused.

’Last night, I asked her if she missed me, but she was too stubborn to say it.’

’When we kissed goodbye this morning, she was still playing tough, saying she only missed me yesterday.’

’And yet here she was at the office, getting physical to teach someone a lesson just for saying one bad thing about me.’

Especially from the words Pan Kejia quoted, he could tell Xia Shiqing’s feelings for him ran very deep.

She had truly fallen for him.

Although he didn’t care if people said bad things about him, Xia Shiqing’s reaction still made him quite happy.

"You should take notes."

Chen Mo was in a good mood and said to Pan Kejia with a smile.

"Hmph, I knew you’d be ecstatic when you found out."

Hearing the happiness in Chen Mo’s voice, Pan Kejia huffed.

She had guessed that Chen Mo would be thrilled to hear about this.

And now it seemed her guess was right on the money.

"You said you were breaking up the fight? How exactly did you break it up?"

Chen Mo recalled Pan Kejia saying she had broken up the fight, and considering her relationship with Xia Shiqing, he couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity. ℯ

Of course, he was certain Pan Kejia wouldn’t have helped the other woman.

"How else was I supposed to break it up? She was badmouthing you, so of course I had to help Xia Shiqing!"

"I just held the other woman back so Xia Shiqing could go all out. I even took advantage of the chaos to land a few punches myself."

"Hmph! If she dares to badmouth you, I have to teach her a lesson too!"

Pan Kejia immediately made her position clear.

’If Chen Mo thought I didn’t help Xia Shiqing, there’s no telling what he’d do to me.’

"That’s good."

Chen Mo smiled. He didn’t really care if someone badmouthed him.

But having the person who badmouthed him get taught a lesson by his two girlfriends teaming up felt pretty damn good.

"So how did this all get handled in the end? Has a decision been made?"

Chen Mo asked, concerned.

"How else could they handle it? They’re both deputy directors of the Investment Department. One is the department’s top performer, the other is a department veteran. The chairman just talked with each of them for a bit, and that was it."

"They checked the security footage. It was the other woman who started it with a personal attack, but Xia Shiqing was also in the wrong for hitting her. Both of them got a stern talking-to."

"The chairman told them to handle it quietly and not call the police. Whoever reported it would be fired. If either of them needed to go to the hospital for a check-up, the company would cover all the medical expenses."

"Xia Shiqing will stay on as Deputy Director of the Proprietary Investment Department. The other woman will be transferred to another department, but she’ll still be a deputy director. The matter is closed, and no one is allowed to talk about it. Anyone caught spreading it will be dealt with severely."

Pan Kejia briefly explained the final resolution to him.

It was a difficult situation to handle, mainly because they were both high-level executives.

If two junior employees had fought, they might have just been fired on the spot.

But Xia Shiqing is the company’s ’top performer,’ and right now, Xinggui Film and Television is bringing in massive profits for the company every day.

Who would dare fire Xia Shiqing?

If you fired her, a major firm would snatch her up in a second.

Wan Fang is a company veteran who worked her way up to this position through sheer performance.

Even though Wan Fang started it, she was the one who got hit—word is, Xia Shiqing slapped the foundation right off her face. So, they couldn’t be too harsh on her.

They had no choice but to blame both sides.

Considering they’d had a complete falling out and could no longer work in the same department, the only option was to transfer Wan Fang.

As for why they didn’t transfer Xia Shiqing...

Who was going to make the company money if they transferred her?

The gag order was understandable; it wouldn’t sound good if news of the incident got out.

But whether it would be effective was another story entirely.

This kind of explosive gossip would be hard to contain.

Besides, the company could never find evidence of what people said in private.

The story would probably start spreading through their professional circles any minute now.

"Acceptable."

Chen Mo nodded after hearing the outcome.

’Just a slap on the wrist. She can just let it go in one ear and out the other.’

"Seriously, she really made me see her in a new light today. It feels like I’m getting to know her all over again."

"All I can say is, your Sister Shiqing really, really loves you."

Pan Kejia said, her voice filled with emotion.

’This time, she really had to hand it to her. She had to admit, on this one, she’d lost to Xia Shiqing.’

’There was nothing she could do. She didn’t have a legitimate reason to get involved.’

’Even if she wanted to jump in, she had no justification.’

’Her colleagues would have just said, "They were badmouthing Xia Shiqing’s boyfriend. Why are you so angry?"’

’And she would’ve been left speechless.’

"Tell me something I don’t know," Chen Mo chuckled, deliberately teasing her. "Don’t you love me too?"
