Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

"Mr. Xia, my name is Zhao Qin."

Zhao Qin nervously clutched the hem of her clothes. She was only nineteen years old, with no education, no good looks, but a decent figure.

She used to work as a waitress at Xu Shaoyang's nightclub, but because she was introverted and not very quick-witted, customers would grope her, and she could only cry silently in a corner.

Xu Shaoyang once saw her crying and learned about her situation from others. He called her to his office and said that Zhao Qin was not suitable to stay in the nightclub.

Just when Zhao Qin was in despair, Xu Shaoyang asked her to start work at the entertainment company the next day. She knew nothing, so Vice President Zheng assigned her to odd jobs. She went wherever she was needed, and Zhao Qin was quite content.

"Alright, I'll remember you. Go back now! If Huang Cuiping ever makes things difficult for you in the future, you must tell me, and I'll stand up for you. You can also tell Chairman Xu even if I'm not around."

Xia Yichu took money out of Pei Shizhou's bag and handed it to Zhao Qin.

"Take this money and buy some ointment. Remember to apply the ointment so you can go to work tomorrow."

Zhao Qin shook her head and refused to accept Xia Yichu's money, saying that it was just a slap and it wouldn't matter.

"Mr. Xia, you really don't need to. I have ointment at home."

At this moment, the receptionist came over with something in her hand and said, "Mr. Xia, the company has some ointment."

The company is about to change; it's finally no longer Huang Cuiping's domain. Chairman Xu has only recently started coming to the company every day; before, he came twice a week.

Zheng Leran basically calls the shots in the company, and his cousin Huang Cuiping acts like a tyrant because of Zheng Leran's influence.

"Okay, wipe Zhao Qin's face, then let her go home and rest, and come back to work tomorrow."

"Yes, mission accomplished."

The receptionist was lively and quick-witted, which made Xia Yichu take a second look at her. She quickly introduced herself to Xia Yichu.

"President Xia, my name is Luo Youning."

Luo Youning introduced herself confidently, and watching her chat and laugh with Xia Yichu made Zhao Qin incredibly envious. She didn't know why she was so clumsy with words and not very bright.

"Okay, thank you for your help. You can tell me if anything interesting happens at the company later."

"Yes, Mr. Xia."

Luo Youning understood Xia Yichu's meaning and happily agreed. Xia Yichu didn't say anything more and went to the office to find Zheng Leran and Huang Cuiping.

Seeing them come in, Zheng Leran gave Huang Cuiping a push, and Huang Cuiping walked to Xia Yichu's side with a reluctant expression.

"President Xia, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit Zhou Yutian."

Upon hearing Huang Cuiping's words, Zheng Leran's face turned ugly. It seemed that everything he had said to her earlier had been for nothing.

Sure enough, Xia Yichu said in a bad tone, "Huang Cuiping, are you mistaken? The person you should apologize to is not me."

Huang Cuiping knew this, of course, but she was unwilling to apologize to Zhou Yutian. Why should she, a worthless and ugly woman, apologize to Zhou Yutian? She was indignant.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to Yutian."

Zheng Leran really wanted to crack open her brain and see what was inside.

"President Xia, Vice President Zheng, apologies are unnecessary. I want to know why Huang Cuiping hit me?"

Zhou Yutian also had a temper, and she didn't care about Huang Cuiping's insincere apology. Besides, she had already beaten Huang Cuiping up, and she wanted to know why Huang Cuiping had hit her.

"Speak! Why did you hit me?"

Zheng Leran had just asked Huang Cuiping, but she hesitated and couldn't give a clear answer.

Everyone stared at Huang Cuiping, waiting for her explanation. After a while, Huang Cuiping just kept her head down and didn't say a word.

Zheng Leran lost his patience and shouted, "Huang Cuiping, you're not going to talk, are you? If you don't want to talk, then get out of here and go home. Don't ever come looking for me again."

When Zheng Leran said "going home," he meant going back to his parents' home. He was really angry with Huang Cuiping.

"Brother, don't send me home. I know I was wrong. Zhou Yutian, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken my bad mood out on you. I'm really sorry."

I'll let you hit me one more time, okay? Hit me until you're satisfied, I promise I won't fight back.

Huang Cuiping was now afraid; she couldn't go home, and she couldn't leave Zheng Leran.

Now that Zheng Leran has finally started a company with Xia Yichu and Xu Shaoyang, everything is going in a good direction. She can't leave; if she leaves, she will have no future.

Zhou Yutian didn't move or say anything, while Xia Yichu and the others watched the commotion from the sidelines. Huang Cuiping was crying her eyes out; she knew she looked pathetic, but she couldn't care less.

She thought to herself that it was a good thing Xu Shaoyang wasn't here, otherwise she would definitely be too ashamed to face him.

"If you don't want to do it yourself, then I'll do it myself."

As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Cuiping slapped herself, stunning everyone. It also changed Xia Yichu's perception of her; she had always thought Huang Cuiping relied entirely on Zheng Leran, but she never expected her to be so flexible and adaptable.

When she's angry, she even hits herself, and the slaps are quite loud; Xia Yichu felt embarrassed for her just listening to it.

Zhou Yutian realized what was happening and said helplessly, "It's not my fault. I didn't tell her to hit herself. You, you stop, stop hitting her."

Overjoyed, Huang Cuiping cried, "Yutian, have you forgiven me?"

Seeing that Zhou Yutian remained silent, Huang Cuiping slapped herself again. Startled, Zhou Yutian immediately said, "I forgive you, please don't hit me again."

Zheng Leran watched without saying a word throughout, and Xia Yichu knew that although he said he wanted Huang Cuiping to leave, he was actually unwilling in his heart.

It seems he dotes on Huang Cuiping, and he only spoke harshly to her today because of his own feelings.

"Really? Thank you, you're so kind."

Zhou Yutian was pulled by Huang Cuiping, and she forced herself to pull her hand away despite the discomfort.

"Yichu, my cousin is young and doesn't know any better. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her and this kind of thing won't happen again."

Of course, if you feel she's not suitable to stay at the company, I can also have her leave.

Zheng Leran may seem to be giving Xia Yichu the choice, but it's clear to everyone that Zheng Leran doesn't want Huang Cuiping to leave the company.

"President Xia, I know I was wrong. I'll never hit anyone again. Please, please let me stay. I promise I'll obey. If you tell me to go east, I won't dare go west."

Xia Yichu didn't even glance at Huang Cuiping; her gaze was fixed on Zheng Leran.

"Zheng Leran, if I let Huang Cuiping go, will you resent me?"

Zheng Leran did not flinch, looking directly at Xia Yichu and saying, "No, she should accept the punishment for her own mistakes."

"President Xia, please don't! I really know I was wrong. Brother, let's go beg Shao Yang."

Huang Cuiping still had a sliver of reason left, but she was about to lose control and start cursing Xia Yichu.

"Shut up"

"Idiot, Xu Shaoyang listens to Xia Yichu in everything. What's the point of talking to him? You might as well just leave the company and find a way to get her back later."

"Are you still my brother? If you hadn't hit me yesterday, would I be in a bad mood today and taking it out on Zhou Yutian?"

I'm going home to tell my aunt that you hit me and that you colluded with outsiders to bully me.

Zheng Leran held onto Huang Cuiping tightly, knowing that her mother would worry if she went home like this.

"Stop fooling around, I'll take you home."

"No, I don't want to go back with you, I want to go home by myself."
