Chapter 53 Caught in the Act! Hosley's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Jiang Qin is currently on leave, so she is not wearing the business suit she usually wears to work. In addition, her face, which was slapped yesterday morning, is still slightly swollen, so she is wearing a mask.
However, she was recognized by the receptionist as soon as she arrived at the door. She was not surprised, after all, to work as a receptionist at the Huo Group headquarters, one must have excellent eyesight and perception.
Jiang Qin politely greeted the two receptionists before continuing to walk forward.
She came here not for any other reason than because her WeChat account had been inexplicably logged into her work computer.
I was still a little worried, after all, WeChat plays such an important and significant role in our daily lives.
But unexpectedly, this is what happened—a major drama unfolded.
Jiang Qin glanced at the people next to her. She had met these people before; they were senior executives from Huo's partner company.
When she came in, she vaguely heard a girl inside cry out, but she didn't know exactly what happened and just assumed that the girl had accidentally fallen.
As they walked in, they saw that the elevator was open. Li Xueqian's face was deathly pale, and He Xu was supporting a little girl whose face was contorted in pain. The security guards around them were also looking at that side with strange and complicated expressions.
Jiang Qin naturally knew that what had just happened was definitely not as simple as the other party falling down.
At that moment, several senior executives from the partner company continued to discuss what had just happened in the elevator.
After listening for a few minutes, Jiang Qin roughly understood the situation and was somewhat surprised.
It's quite astonishing that Li Xueqian would push someone when there were so many people around.
Moreover, it's an elevator. Although elevators normally have anti-pinch functions, accidents are called accidents because they are unpredictable. If one were to malfunction and get pinched, that would be terrifying.
It could potentially result in death or serious injury/disability.
Inside the elevator, Yuan Yue, supported by He Xu, had her face contorted in pain and could barely stand. She kept crying and complaining of the pain.
Just now, when Yuan Yue was thrown by Li Xueqian, everyone around clearly heard a thud, which sounded very painful.
Moreover, Yuan Yue looked to be in great pain at the moment, which made it hard not to worry.
One of the security guards couldn't help but speak up, "Shouldn't we take her to see a doctor? What if she's broken a bone?"
Upon hearing this, everyone around, including the two young ladies at the front desk, looked over with pity.
With the internet so developed now, many people have heard that the job of a celebrity assistant involves a lot of trivial matters and is easy to be wronged, but they don't really understand the reality.
Witnessing this firsthand today, as ordinary people, they couldn't help but empathize with Yuan Yue, who is just an ordinary person. Especially considering how short and young Yuan Yue is compared to the others present, it evoked even more pity from them.
He also felt anger towards Li Xueqian.
Faced with the accusatory, disdainful, or angry gazes of the crowd, Li Xueqian's face turned even paler.
He quickly bent down and apologized to Yuan Yue, "Are you alright? I didn't mean to..."
If there were really nothing wrong, Yuan Yue would naturally be able to bear it and wouldn't cry out in pain, leaving Li Xueqian at a loss. After all, her job required her to be mindful of Li Xueqian's feelings, and offending her would bring her no benefit.
At this moment, Yuan Yue couldn't hold back any longer; it hurt too much, as if she had really hit a bone, a dull ache.
Yuan Yue panicked. The reason she chose this job was because her family was of ordinary means and the job was lucrative. Although these celebrities were difficult to please, they were also generous with their pay.
But health is the foundation of everything.
Yuan Yue couldn't say she was fine, nor did she want to talk to Li Xueqian; in fact, she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
At this moment, even the senior executives of the client company next door couldn't stand it anymore. They frowned and shouted, "Call a doctor right away! That loud thud just now must have hurt! If something really happens, it could affect that young girl's entire life!"
Hearing this, others around him echoed his sentiments, and He Xu didn't hesitate any longer. He quickly called a car to take Yuan Yue to the hospital. However, just as he finished the call, a gust of wind blew in, and a strange smell suddenly wafted through the air.
One of the security guards nearby reacted and whispered, "The smell of rust? Little girl, are you bleeding from your fall?"
At the same time, Jiang Qin also noticed the scent.
However, this rusty smell... seems more like menstrual bleeding than regular bleeding.
Jiang Qin's expression turned serious, and at the same time, Li Xueqian and Yuan Yue, who were next to Yuan Yue, also realized this, and their expressions immediately became somewhat awkward.
Yuan Yue, in particular, was extremely embarrassed. She wanted to cover her pants, but her legs hurt so much that she couldn't straighten up.
Seeing Yuan Yue like this reminded Jiang Qin of her own past weakness, and the embarrassing way she used to smear her pants with menstrual blood when she was young. She didn't want to get involved, since this matter had nothing to do with her.
But Jiang Qin couldn't bear to watch this situation, especially since she remembered that she had sanitary napkins in her bag.
Without further hesitation, Jiang Qin prepared to take out a sanitary napkin for Yuan Yue.
Just then, He Xu, who was supporting Yuan Yue, realized what was happening and told Li Xueqian to take Yuan Yue to the restroom at the end of the first-floor corridor. Li Xueqian was stunned. "Me?"
Li Xueqian's face turned both dark and white in an instant. "What's the use of going to the restroom? I don't have any sanitary napkins with me."
In fact, Li Xueqian was utterly devastated and furious. She'd only given it a light shake, and it was so fragile—was this some kind of staged accident?! Her assistant, instead of protecting her, had made her lose face in front of so many people!
They're utterly useless!
But right now, Li Xueqian doesn't dare to say these words out loud.
But to ask her to serve Yuan Yue to the bathroom? Leaving aside the fact that the current situation is difficult to handle, even if Yuan Yue didn't have her period and needed to use the restroom, she couldn't possibly serve her assistant! What kind of person is she to deserve being served?
Are you crazy?
But just then, something was handed to her.
A pleasant female voice rang out, "I brought sanitary napkins."
Li Xueqian opened her eyes wide and looked at Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin's cold and beautiful face showed no emotion, and she was holding a sanitary napkin in her hand.
He Xu looked at Jiang Qin with some surprise, but quickly looked away and returned his gaze to Li Xueqian.
When she spoke again, her voice was somewhat cold: "Now we have it, Miss Li. It's only right that you take care of the person you fell on. Hurry up and go, the car will be here soon. Don't delay this young girl from getting to the hospital."
Li Xueqian was so angry that her heart felt like it was going to twist. However, she dared not show it at all when several gazes fell upon her. She could only take the sanitary napkin from Jiang Qin's hand and pretend to be serious.
"Thank you, Secretary Jiang!"
Jiang Qin's face beneath the mask remained expressionless: "You're welcome."
The car that was going to take Yuan Yue to the hospital arrived just seconds after the two left, so things couldn't be too bad.
Knowing that the matter had been resolved, Jiang Qin, who had stopped going upstairs to attend to her own business out of empathy for ordinary people, naturally wouldn't linger there any longer.
Just then, the department secretary who had come to pick up the client company's senior executives came downstairs, and Jiang Qin followed her upstairs.
With Jiang Qin gone, He Xu, finally free, thought for a moment but decided not to call Huo Sili.
……
In the CEO's office, there were two computers in front of Huo Sili.
Jiang Qin's computer was lit up, and the wallpaper was a dynamic original illustration of a group of cute little rabbits hopping around on the grass.
Huo Sili replied to work emails, glanced at the little rabbit, and continued replying.
Suddenly, the door to the CEO's office was pushed open, and Huo Sili raised his eyebrows slightly.
