My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 570

Guo Yuxue said, "I want to try my luck and see if I can get an order. If we can cooperate in the long term, my little company will have a chance to survive." It seemed her company wasn’t doing well.

Yang Qi frowned. "Sister Xue, didn’t you study medicine? Why did you give up your original profession?"

"To be exact, my field was medical research, but unfortunately, I just don’t have the talent for it," Guo Yuxue said, shaking her head. "Enough about me. What are you doing here?"

"I work here. If you need anything, just find me or give me a call. You have my phone number and WeChat, right?" Yang Qi said.

"That’s great! It’s always easier to get things done with someone you know," Guo Yuxue said with a smile. "But you’re just a researcher, aren’t you? You probably can’t help much with this, so I don’t want to trouble you or put you in a difficult position."

"Even if you don’t ask for my help, we should at least have a meal together. Back in university, when I was dirt poor, you were the one who helped me out, Sister Xue. That’s a kindness I must repay," Yang Qi said.

"Alright then. Since we’ll both be working in Thunder City, we can call each other anytime," Guo Yuxue nodded, and the two of them walked toward the company building together.

As soon as they entered, they encountered an unfamiliar man. Guo Yuxue quickly approached him. "Manager Zhang, I’m Guo Yuxue. Please, you must give me a bit of your time to discuss the possibility of cooperation."

Manager Zhang glanced at Guo Yuxue, his eyes lighting up. "No problem. Let’s talk in my office!" As he spoke, he actually reached out to touch Guo Yuxue’s back.

Guo Yuxue frowned but didn’t dodge. The owner of a small company had to endure untold hardships to secure an order from a large corporation like the Qifei Group.

Yang Qi sighed. That Manager Zhang must be the new General Affairs Manager hired by the Qifei Group. He’s clearly no good. How could Li Qingyan hire such a man? If a competitor used a honey trap, wouldn’t he sell out the entire company?

"Little Qi, I have something to take care of, so I’ll go on ahead. You get back to work," Guo Yuxue said with a smile to Yang Qi before entering the elevator.

Yang Qi clenched his teeth and stepped into the elevator as well.

Manager Zhang looked at Yang Qi with displeasure. "Who are you? I’ve never seen you before. Which department are you from?"

Yang Qi smiled. "Research and Development."

"R&D?" Manager Zhang scrutinized Yang Qi from head to toe. "I’ve met and greeted everyone from the R&D department. I don’t remember you."

"I just started work today, so it’s perfectly normal that you haven’t seen me," Yang Qi replied.

"Oh!" Manager Zhang grunted. "The people from R&D really are clueless!"

Yang Qi didn’t say anything, just smiled lightly. This Manager Zhang still has no idea he’s already on the real boss’s bad side.

After they exited the elevator, Manager Zhang led Guo Yuxue away. Instead of heading to the R&D department, Yang Qi quietly followed them. He was indebted to Guo Yuxue and couldn’t just stand by and watch her fall into the clutches of a demon. This Manager Zhang’s intentions clearly went beyond simple groping; he was a man with a wicked mind.

Manager Zhang ushered Guo Yuxue into his office, looked around to ensure no one was there, and then locked the office door from the inside.

"Manager Zhang, what are you doing?" Guo Yuxue’s expression changed instantly.

She could tolerate harassment from these men, but she absolutely could not endure *that*. She was a woman with a husband and a child, working herself to the bone just to pay for her daughter’s medical treatment and to get her husband out of prison sooner. Her husband had gone to prison to protect her, and she would never betray him.

"Stop pretending. Look at the flashy way you’re dressed. Isn’t it just to attract men? As long as you keep me company, I’ll give you the order," Manager Zhang said with a sly smile.

"I don’t need your company’s order anymore. Let me go," Guo Yuxue said, pulling out her pepper spray and aiming it at Manager Zhang.

She kept it precisely for dealing with scum like him. Because she was a beautiful business owner, she was often subject to the prejudice that she had used illicit means to get her start, a misconception that deeply troubled her.

"Heh, you really think that little thing can scare anyone?" Manager Zhang sneered. "Stop fooling yourself. You’re so beautiful, haven’t you ever thought about finding a better future for yourself? I can give you more than just orders. I can give you money and let you live like a real woman."

"I have a husband and a daughter. My husband went to prison for me, and I can never betray him. I can’t!" Guo Yuxue said, shaking her head as she backed away, looking utterly helpless.

"Just be good and stay with me, and I can find a way to get your man out of there!" Manager Zhang chuckled, closing in on her as he spoke.

Guo Yuxue froze for a moment. In that instant, Manager Zhang lunged at her, his movements as swift as a cheetah. It seemed he was quite practiced in this sort of thing.

"Let go of me! Let go!" Guo Yuxue started to scream. "Help! Somebody help me!"

"Help? It’s useless even if you scream your throat out. The soundproofing in here is excellent. And even if someone did hear, so what? Who in this company do you think can save you?" Manager Zhang sneered. "Just submit to me quietly. I promise I’ll treat you well!"

Of course, those were just empty words meant to fool the naive. Such men were the type to forget your face the moment they got what they wanted.

BANG!

Suddenly, the office door was kicked open.

Then, Manager Zhang felt himself being lifted into the air.

"Who? Who the hell dares to interfere with my business?" Manager Zhang was shocked. In the Qifei Group, someone actually dared to kick down his door? They had to be insane!

BANG!

Yang Qi slammed Manager Zhang to the floor, leaving him completely dazed and feeling as if several of his bones were broken. He had actually held back; otherwise, with his strength, the fall would have killed Manager Zhang.

"It’s you! That researcher! Damn it, I’m calling President Li right now to have you fired!" Manager Zhang scrambled out of the office to call Li Qingyan.

Yang Qi looked at Guo Yuxue, who was lying on the floor, her face stained with tears. He sighed and said, "I’m sorry. It’s shameful that a scumbag from our company gave you such a terrible impression."

"How could I blame you? It was my own carelessness. Besides, it’s not your company. Wait, he’s gone to tattle on you. You won’t lose your job, will you?" Guo Yuxue asked anxiously.

Yang Qi was moved. Even at a time like this, she was still worried about him losing his job.

"Sister Xue, don’t worry. I’m on good terms with President Li," Yang Qi said with a smile as he helped her to her feet. "The only one getting fired today will be that scumbag, not me."
