Chapter 182: Fang Heyang Was Laid Off
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“His grandfather recently retired as a lieutenant general. Meanwhile, his father is a major general who currently leads Shanghai’s Troop 104. His mother is a military doctor with the t.i.tle of ‘Colonel’. His uncle is the head of the Special Armed Forces who is also a general. Finally, his aunt is the wife of our provincial secretary, Fang Jie.”
One would tremble to hear such a powerful family background.
Clearly, this family had both brains and brawn.
Even Gu Nianshen appeared slightly in awe when he heard about Fang Heyang’s family background.
However, the feeling of hostility grew even stronger…
Qi Shaodong felt uncertain about what Gu Nianshen was thinking of. Did Gu Nianshen wonder about the same thing as he did? He decided to find out. “With his family background, why do you think he would work at Mrs. Gu’s company?”
As soon as Qi Shaodong asked the question, he instantly felt that the atmosphere grew heavy.
Gu Nianshen appeared to have gotten into a bad mood. Qi Shaodong held his breath for a moment as a chill ran down his spine.
“However, I’ve heard that many of these government officials don’t get paid a lot. They serve the country and our people but aren’t paid enough. It’s normal for the young man to work for a living…” Qi Shaodong said.
Needless to say, Qi Shaodon’g egoistic boss suspected that the young man had only entered Lin Quan to get close to his wife.
“Make him quit.”
Gu Nianshen thought for a while before speaking.
“Ah?” Qi Shaodong was slightly confused.
Gu Nianshen raised his eyebrows as he stared at Qi Shaodong coldly.
“I’ve got it. I’ll get in touch with Manager Gao and Manager Ma immediately.”
Qi Shaodong could not afford to make his boss upset when he was jealous.

As Lin Yiqian had been looking at statistical data the entire day, numbers still flooded her mind even after she had shut down her computer.
As she clutched her purse with one hand, she rubbed her temple with the other while she walked out of her office.
It was nearly six o’clock in the evening and most of her employees had already left. The only person she saw was her secretary who was probably waiting for her to leave.
“Chief Lin.”
“Let’s get off work,” Lin Yiqian said. “Where is Fang Heyang?”
The fellow would always tell her when he was leaving. For the past few days, he had always waited for her to finish work before they left together.
Could he have left early today?
As soon as Lin Yiqian spoke, Manager Gao and Manager Ma suddenly appeared.
“Chief Lin.”
As Gu Nianshen had sent the two of them to help the company get through its toughest period, they would always work till late. Therefore, Lin Yiqian was not surprised that they were still around.
“What’s the matter?” She wondered why they had come to meet her.
“I have discussed with Manager Ma on this. Although Fang Heyang is loyal in protecting Chief Lin, his att.i.tude renders him an ill fit in our organization,” Manager Gao answered.
“Did you two lay him off?” Lin Yiqian immediately understood what had happened.
“Yes.” Manager Gao nodded.
Lin Yiqian was speechless.
Although she was slightly upset, she suppressed her negative emotion as Gu Nianshen was the one who had sent them over.
Even if she no longer wanted to keep the two of them in her company, she would need to speak with Gu Nianshen first.
“I understand. Proceed with your work,” Lin Yiqian said as she nodded.

Once Lin Yiqian got into her car, she took her phone out and started typing a message to Fang Heyang on Wechat.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were leaving?”
After she had finished typing the sentence, she paused and decided to delete her message.
Since Fang Heyang had already been fired, there was no point in asking him about it. They would have to bid farewell to each other at some point anyway.
As she put her phone down, she started the engine of the car and stopped thinking about Fang Heyang.
Lin Xiaoyu had already made several calls urging her to meet him. She had to get to him as soon as possible.
