Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)

Chapter 18

Ronald and the others immediately spoke up for Donald.

The meeting room was filled with an atmosphere of oppression, trying to force Fade to admit to a draw.

Under these circumstances, Fade did not say anything but picked up his mobile phone.

Upon seeing this, Donald thought that Fade had admitted defeat, so he quickly said to Quin, "President Lin, the bet is a draw. You can announce the result!"

"This —" Quin frowned, looking a little embarrassed.

Of course, Quin knew that Fade should have won the bet. But now, the situation was a tricky-a group of senior executives headed by Ronald supported Donald with all their might. If she offended them all, the company would be in a mess.

Just as Quin contemplating this dilemma, Fade turned on the TV in the conference room, raised the volume, and this suppressed all voices in the conference room.

"What are you doing?"

"Chen, are you trying to cause trouble?"

"Are there no rules anymore? President Lin, such a person should be fired."

A chorus of reproach sounded, and Fade did not explain much. He just looked at the TV screen, crossed his arms, and said, "This news report is specifically about Pai's Chemicals!"

Everyone's attention immediately fell on the TV screen.

The local news of Bay City was playing on the screen, and the content of the news was a survey regarding Pai's Chemicals.

"Pai's Chemicals is currently being investigated for the poor quality of goods, committing fraud during inspections, delays in credit payment, and business bribery. The police and the criminal investigation division have launched an investigation on Pai's Chemicals. The chairman of Pai's Chemicals has been taken into custody. Further matters are still under investigation..."

When the news report ended, the next report began. Fade turned off the TV, causing the news reporter's voice to stop abruptly.

The meeting room was filled with silence. Everyone looked at Donald incomprehensibly.

Donald was stunned. He did not expect this to happen at all.

"Secretary Qin, now, do you still think that our bet is a draw?" Fade's voice broke the silence in the meeting room.

Donald's body involuntarily trembled and then he said, "I, I-"

"I don't know how it happened this way. This, this — when I signed the contract, Pai's Chemicals was as normal as any other company." Donald tried to explain himself.

"Really?" Fade comment, "The problems at Pai's Chemicals sound very serious. There should have been signs! And what's more, about the bribery, it seems that..."

Instead of continuing, Fade glanced at Donald.

His meaning was very obvious. It would have been impossible to have not picked up on such signs before such a big meltdown was to happen within a company like Pai's Chemicals. However,

Donald still insisted on signing the contract with Pai's Chemicals, which placed Fei Holdings as a potential suspect of committing bribery with Pai's Chemicals.

As soon as Fade finished, the expressions of all present changed. Even Quin looked at Donald very seriously.

Donald immediately stood up and defended himself anxiously, "President Lin, this, this has nothing to do with me. I will never take bribes. I just negotiated the contract in a normal professional manner."

After that, Donald winked at Ronald and the rest.

They were a little hesitant, but they gritted their teeth and spoke.

"President Lin, I think that there is no evidence of Dr. Chen's suspicion. We can't suspect Secretary Qin."

"Secretary Qin has been in the company for many years and has made great contributions to us. We can't doubt our own people like this. It will only make other people think that we’re cold- blooded."

"In terms of Pai's Chemicals, the person who supported it at that time was not only Secretary Qin but also many people present here. Therefore, this is not on Secretary Qin alone."

There were many supporting voices. Quin frowned slightly, she looked at Donald, then at Fade, her expression extremely serious. She looked at Donald and said, "From now on, we will immediately terminate the cooperation between our company and the

Pai's Chemicals."

"Secretary Qin's work is temporarily suspended. You can go home and rest for a while."

"At the same time, we will investigate our company. We must find out if there is any violation of the rules. If found, our company will never tolerate it." Quin said.

"President Lin, I..." Donald still wanted to say something.

But Quin said coldly, "Let's call it a day!"

Then, Quin left with a gloomy face, and so did the others.

In the end, only Ronald and Donald were left in the meeting room.

Donald looked at Ronald and asked for help, "Manager Xie, I—"

Ronald approached and turned his back to the camera. He whispered to Donald, "Have you ever-"

"No!" Donald said firmly.

"Really?" Ronald stared at his eyes and asked in a low voice.

Donald's face changed, and he hesitated slightly. Then he gritted his teeth and shook his head, saying, "No."

"I see. Have a good rest." Ronald was silent for a while. Then he patted his shoulder and left the meeting room.

After leaving the meeting room, Fade was about to go back to the medical room when Quin stopped him. "Come to my office."

After a brief pause, Fade followed Quin to the president's office on the top floor. "Dear, no, President —"

Before Fade could finish, Quin stared at Fade with her pair of beautiful eyes and asked eagerly, "How did you sign the contract with Xu Chemicals? Who are you, really?"

In her hurry, she didn't even notice that Fade called her "Dear", which she had never liked him to do.

Fade touched his nose and thought about how to explain this matter to her.

In the end, he decided to tell the truth. After all, there was no need to make up a story.

Fade said that he had just successfully treated Harry, also known as Elderly Xu's, ailment, and then Elderly Xu helped Fade sign the contract successfully.

After listening, Quin was a little surprised, but she also believed in Fade's words. After all, nothing could make more sense.

A smile appeared on Quin's face. "Fade, I didn't expect you to be so lucky. Seems that I've hired a lucky guy into the company." Quin said while looking at Fade.

"Ha, I didn't expect that either." Fade smiled. "The contract is settled."

"Well, with Xu Chemicals as a supplier, our company's product quality will be better next year." Quin's eyes were full of excitement. The businesswoman had begun to imagine the future development of the company.

Then, she thought of something, and her face changed slightly. She said apologetically to Fade, "As for Donald, according to your bet, I should fire him. But now, the situation is different. Besides, Ronald and other people are protecting him, so I can only suspend him for the time being."

"I'm sorry —" Quin took the initiative to apologize to Fade.

Fade paused for a moment and then smiled. "It's nothing. I was just joking about this matter. The development of the company should be our priority." Fade said. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Thank you," Quin said solemnly to Fade.

"You're my wife. You don't have to be so polite to your husband." Fade smiled and then quickly added, worried that Quin would be angry. "I'm just saying, don't get angry."

Quin was not angry. Instead, she said, "Alright, you may leave."

Fade turned around and left.

He walked to the door of the office. Suddenly, Quin stopped him and said, "Let's leave together after work."

"Er Fade paused for a moment, he was overjoyed and quickly nodded. "Okay!"
