"You shithead! You—you dare hit me? Just you wait..."

Zhao Si got up from the ground, pointed at Lin Feng, and hurled a torrent of abuse at him before making a phone call.

Shortly afterward, a middle-aged man emerged from the elevator at the other end of the hallway. Upon seeing Zhao Si, he hurriedly asked, "Who hit you?"

"Him!" Zhao Si clutched his face, pointing at Lin Feng.

"Boss, it's not like that—"

"You, keep quiet!" Liu Fei'er tried to explain on Lin Feng's behalf. However, Qian Datong waved his hand, signaling Liu Fei'er to stop talking. He then strode up to Lin Feng, his gaze incredibly stern.

"My brother, was it you who hit him?" Qian Datong asked sharply.

"He asked me to hit him. I was just lending a hand," Lin Feng said, looking at Qian Datong, completely unfazed.

"Humph. So you're Lin Feng, a newcomer who's only been with the company for a few days. You dare to strike your immediate superior? Is there no law anymore?"

Qian Datong sneered. "According to company rules, since you hit Zhao Si, you will pay his medical expenses. As for assaulting someone during work hours, I will write a report to the board of directors. You can start packing!"

After saying this, Qian Datong snorted and left quickly, presumably off to write the report.

Lin Feng had only used less than ten percent of his strength for that punch. Zhao Si's cheek was just slightly bruised. Even if he went to the hospital for a check-up, the medical fees would likely only amount to a few tens of yuan, so Lin Feng wasn't worried.

As for being fired, he believed that Qian Datong and Zhao Si alone didn't have the power to get him fired!

"Lin Feng, you bastard! How dare you hit me? Just wait until you're fired!"

Once Qian Datong had left, Zhao Si revealed a cunning smile. He pointed at Lin Feng, then looked at Liu Fei'er. "Fei'er, you still want to be with him? He's about to be fired. Do you want to be fired too?"

Liu Fei'er held Lin Feng's hand and said, "Even if I get fired with Lin Feng, I would never be with you!"

"Hmph, bitch!"

Hearing this, Zhao Si's face twitched. He muttered the insult, then turned and left arrogantly.

"Lin Feng, what should we do? I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this..." After Zhao Si left, Liu Fei'er looked at Lin Feng, her expression fraught with worry. After all, Lin Feng had hit Zhao Si to help her. If Lin Feng were fired because of this, she would be heartbroken.

"It's okay. Justice prevails. Their scheme won't succeed. Go on, get back to work."

After comforting Liu Fei'er, Lin Feng went straight to the sixth floor and entered Liu Qing's office.

"Oh, you're here to see me so early? Did you miss me?"

Upon seeing Lin Feng, Liu Qing beamed and said, "You heartless man, disappearing last night without a word... Hmph! But you certainly made me feel good last night..."

After locking the office door from the inside, Lin Feng sat on a nearby sofa and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to make you feel so good in the future."

"Ah? You rascal, what are you saying?" Liu Qing looked surprised by Lin Feng's words.

"I just hit Zhao Si. Zhao Si went to get his cousin, Qian Datong. Qian Datong is writing a report right now, preparing to fire me..." Lin Feng said calmly, though his face wore a sad expression.

"Fire you? What happened? Why did you hit Zhao Si? He's the deputy captain of the security team, your direct superior..." Liu Qing inquired.

So, Lin Feng explained the whole incident of Zhao Si pestering and harassing Liu Fei'er.

"So that's how it is..." After hearing the full story, Liu Qing reclined in her comfortable office chair, pursed her lips, and said, "Well, in that case, you were both in the wrong."

"I just couldn't hold back... The main thing is, Zhao Si is too arrogant, relying on Qian Datong's backing. Sister Qing, you won't really let Qian Datong fire me, will you?"

As he said this, Lin Feng stood up and walked over to Liu Qing's side.

"Heh, I thought it was something serious. Is that all? Don't worry; I was actually planning to transfer you out of the security team anyway. You won't be fired," Liu Qing said confidently.

Leaving Liu Qing's office, Lin Feng hummed a little tune as he continued with his work.

"Lin Feng, come to the security room," Guo Yang's voice crackled through the intercom.

"On my way."

Lin Feng knew the trouble Qian Datong was stirring up had arrived. He just didn't know if Liu Qing had played her part in the meantime.

When he reached the security team captain's office on the ground floor, Guo Yang was there, along with Zhao Si, the man Lin Feng had punched.

Upon seeing Lin Feng, Zhao Si sneered.

"The higher-ups are still in a meeting. I expect Department Head Qian will bring up your case. We'll find out the result then. Department Head Qian called me just now and told me to have you wait here. He'll bring the official notice down himself later," Guo Yang said from his seat in the office, his expression regretful.

"Look, you're all colleagues in the security team. Shouldn't we resolve these things internally? Why escalate it? Lin Feng, you were also wrong to hit Zhao Si; he's your superior. Why not apologize to him right now? I don't think this is such a big deal. Zhao Si, if Lin Feng apologizes and treats you to dinner tonight, could you talk to your brother and let this matter slide?"

Guo Yang tried to play peacemaker; after all, he had a rather good impression of Lin Feng.

"Heh heh, Captain Guo, easier said than done! An apology will settle this? Impossible! Company rules are rules. This time, Lin Feng must be fired!" Zhao Si tilted his head, his demeanor making it clear he was determined to get Lin Feng out of the company, flatly rejecting Guo Yang's proposed reconciliation.

He had his own calculations. Liu Fei'er, the girl he liked, seemed to have fallen for Lin Feng. Therefore, he had to get Lin Feng kicked out of the company. Only by eliminating his love rival would he have a better chance of winning Liu Fei'er over.

"Zhao Si, don't be so extreme. Lin Feng only joined the company a few days ago. He's a newbie, doesn't know the ropes, and acted a bit impulsively. As his senior, you should be more understanding and tolerant. We all need to look out for each other in the future," Guo Yang advised once more.

"Captain Guo, what did Lin Feng give you? Why are you speaking up for a newcomer like this? Say no more. No one in this company has ever dared to hit me. Since Lin Feng dared to lay a hand on me, he must pay the price. If he's not fired, my hatred will never be appeased!" Zhao Si said, his anger rising.

"Captain Guo, thank you for your kindness. But please, don't say anything more. This kind of arrogant fool—I'll hit him every time I see him, and I won't regret it. Next time I run into him, I'll beat him into a panda!" Lin Feng spoke up.

"Hmph, still talking tough when you're at death's door!" Zhao Si snorted disdainfully.

Just as he finished speaking, the office door swung open, and Qian Datong walked in, holding a document.
