"I'm talking about firing Yuan Li. Originally, I wasn't going to make a fuss about it. After all, it was my first day at work, and I wanted to let it go.
But she held a grudge, failed to recognize her mistake, and caused this scene again today. If you hadn't insisted on firing her back then, who knows how many more troubles would have surfaced," Shen Xi said with a serious expression.
Qin Siye ate fruit, occasionally looking up at her, "You should eat too."
"I've already eaten," Shen Xi smiled slightly and waved her hand.
"Oh." Qin Siye stopped what he was doing, leaned back against the sofa, and brought the topic back, "It's good that you understand. Some people are arrogant, bully the weak, and pick on the soft. Their nature is hard to change, and they are not worth forgiving.
If you strike, you must be fatal, never showing mercy."
"So, you had Dean Bai fire Doctor Liao too?" Shen Xi mumbled.
Qin Siye didn't hear clearly and sat up, asking, "What did you say?"
Shen Xi widened her eyes and looked at him, "I said that Doctor Liao's matter is separate from Yuan Li's. Why did you have Dean Bai fire him too?"
Doctor Liao? Qin Siye's gaze darkened, and he suddenly realized, "So you were in such a hurry to find me today to speak up for him?"
To not keep her waiting too long, he had willingly penalized himself with three drinks, finally managing to escape a group of friends from the business world.
As soon as she spoke, she had been thanking him indirectly, and it turned out her purpose was to bring up this topic.
"Doctor Liao merely expressed his affection for me. What did he do wrong? Why did you have Dean Bai fire him?
If other hospitals knew the reason for his dismissal, no one would dare hire him.
How will he survive in the future? Aren't you ruining his future?"
Shen Xi didn't deny it but looked at him righteously, believing every word she said was reasonable.
Qin Siye shouldn't have done that. He needed to realize his mistake and make amends.
Hearing her speak so highly of that man, Qin Siye's face filled with anger, and his voice suddenly rose, "I actually find his behavior even more terrifying. If I hadn't happened to pass by there last night, things might have been much worse.
Moreover, no one can guarantee that he won't harass you even more in the future."
Shen Xi suddenly stood up from the sofa, "I can guarantee it."
"You trust him that much?" Seeing her protect that man so earnestly, Qin Siye also stood up and scoffed, "I'm starting to suspect that what you said to him last night was a ploy to attract him. Perhaps you have feelings for him too, don't you?"
Shen Xi was so angered by his words that her breathing became a little difficult. She glared at him with wide, angry eyes, "Whether I have feelings for him or not, what business is it of yours? Mr. Qin, don't you think your reach is too long?"
Hearing this, Qin Siye suddenly took a step towards her, his voice icy, "If it weren't for the fact that you are Yin Xi's cousin, I wouldn't bother with your affairs."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin!" Shen Xi calmly let out a light laugh and said word by word, "You don't need to show special consideration for me because of Yin Xi. We are merely in a relationship of patient's family and doctor. I hope you can distinguish the boundaries."
After speaking, she prepared to leave. Due to her anger, her movements were too forceful, and her calf hit the corner of the coffee table. The pain made her lose her balance and fall backward.
Qin Siye was rendered speechless by her words. Seeing this, he reflexively stepped forward, reaching out to catch her.
However, due to inertia, he not only failed to catch her but also fell towards the sofa with her.
