Chapter 1606: Chapter 1080: Just Need a Powerful Backer_2

“What’s there to think about? Can I still stay here?”

“It’s not easy for you to reach this position, besides, you’re not the one at fault.”

Tong Dan laughed and hugged her best friend’s arm, “What position? Qing Gege, you make it sound like I have some high-ranking job. I’m just a waitress! What’s so special about it?”

“It’s not you who should leave.”

Fang Qing said softly, “When we return to the country, I’ll help you report to the public security bureau. You need to be a witness; I’ll handle the rest.”

Tong Dan sighed, tilted her head, and leaned against her friend’s soft yet firm shoulder.

Having a friend like this is truly wonderful.

“Qing Gege, of course I believe in your ability, but some things aren’t just about right and wrong, or pure logic and law. Whether or not I report those people, I definitely can’t stay at Geely Airline anymore. You understand workplace rules, right?”

Fang Qing remained silent for a moment before saying, “At least I can get you some compensation.”

“Pff…”

Tong Dan sat up straight, bursting with laughter, “That works. Later, you can act as my lawyer and discuss with them and the company.”

Fang Qing’s lips curved slightly.

They arrived at the hotel where the crew stayed.

The taxi stopped.

Tong Dan and Fang Qing got out.

“Tong Dan!”

A voice rang out from the hotel lobby tearoom.

Tong Dan turned her head, seeing Captain Lv Kaiyuan rushing over. His eyes were filled with red veins like a spider web, uncertain if it was a hangover from last night or if he hadn’t rested well.

“I waited for you all night.”

When he approached, he forced a smile, seemingly unsure where to place his hands, a stark contrast to last night.

Then, he noticed Fang Qing, a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he nodded with a forced smile.

It was evident.

Anyone appearing next to Tong Dan now would subconsciously be associated with last night’s US Army incident in his mind.

“Is there something you need?”

Tong Dan remained composed, refraining from cursing outright.

“Tong Dan, last night… I wasn’t clear-headed…” Lv Kaiyuan’s voice was not only low, but his head was also bowed, “I apologize to you.”

“No need.”

Tong Dan, straightforward and decisive, wanted to head inside.

“Tong Dan, as long as you forgive me, I’m willing to do anything.” Lv Kaiyuan hurriedly said, “Even if it means kneeling.”

“Lv Kaiyuan, we’re not kids anymore. What good is it if you bow to me? If you truly are a man, you should dare to take responsibility for your actions.”

After speaking, Tong Dan again tried to walk inside.

Fang Qing remained silent, not interfering.

“Tong Dan, we’re colleagues, can’t you be more forgiving? My wife is three months pregnant, if she finds out, I’ll not only lose my job but my family too.”

Lv Kaiyuan begged desperately.

Tong Dan was carefree, but he clearly couldn’t act so decisively. Becoming a captain is indeed not easy; once exposed, his career would be ruined, and a wonderful life would be over.

“Your wife leaving you would be a blessing for her.”

Unfazed, she replied and walked away, the two women entered the elevator, leaving behind a dumbfounded Lv Kaiyuan.

In the ascending elevator, Tong Dan cocked her head, “Qing Gege, how did I do?”

Fang Qing said nothing, only gave a thumbs up.

Tong Dan laughed, then sighed lightly, “Alright, now I’m even more afraid of marriage. If I end up with such a scumbag, it’d be better to just die.”

“There aren’t that many scumbags, didn’t your blind date turn out pretty well?”

“True. Qing Gege, do you think I should send a text to greet him?”

“He helped you at his own risk, are you still waiting for him to take the initiative?”

Tong Dan nudged her with an elbow.

“Ding…”

The elevator doors opened.

The two women walked out, Tong Dan took out her phone to send a message.

Dragging their luggage and without pausing, Fang Qing and Tong Dan quickly left the hotel.

They tossed their room key cards directly to the front desk.

Tong Da Mei Nu was indeed decisive and didn’t drag things out.

“Alright, from now on, I’m a proud unemployed person. Come on, let’s celebrate my loss of a job with a meal.”

Tong Dan dragged her suitcase, waiting at the hotel entrance for a ride, “Seafood or Japanese?”

“Ramen.”

Fang Qing waved to hail a taxi.

“Ramen? Qing Gege, you’re quite sensible, already helping me save money?”

Tong Dan put her suitcase in the trunk.

They took a car to the ramen shop. Cui Wen had finally come to realize, went on a trip, and wasn’t in the shop.

“Is it really run by your classmate?”

Fang Qing nodded.

Previously, someone had jokingly mentioned pairing them up, but Tong Dan had a blind date while Cui Wen happened to leave Tokyo.

It can only be said that fate is predestined; some people are just not meant to be together.

“Ask if Boss Jiang is coming.”

Fang Qing couldn’t help but smile, “You really have your mind set on him?”

Tong Dan said righteously, “Qing Gege, don’t worry, I have no inappropriate thoughts about him, I just want to cling to his big thigh. I’m not interested in anything above his thigh.”

Indeed, not a child anymore.

Fang Qing completely ignored her and ordered two family-sized bowls of ramen.

“Three bowls.”

Tong Dan said, “Pan Yang said he’s coming too.”

“Your dating partner?”

“Yeah, I was just being polite by texting, didn’t expect him to actually come. You don’t mind, do you?”

“Should I move to the next table?” Fang Qing suggested.

“I want to cling to Jiang Chen’s thigh, but isn’t he not letting me? Qing Gege, you’re not going to mind even about this, right?”

“Even if you become his girlfriend, I’ll consider it your skill.” Fang Qing said naturally.

“Really?”

Tong Dan was surprised, suspicious.

“But I have to remind you, his official girlfriend is not easy to deal with.”

“Heh.”

Tong Dan arrogantly smiled, “I’m not afraid of this kind of confrontation the most.”

Fang Qing glanced at her.

“Her level is higher than yours.”

Tong Dan immediately looked annoyed, “Qing Gege, that’s not fair, whose side are you on?”

Of course.

It’s just a joke.

“Ask him when he’ll arrive.”

“Should be soon, not too hungry yet, wait a bit.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Qing smiled.

Why the sudden politeness.

“Miss Tong.”

About fifteen minutes later, Pan Yang entered the ramen shop, saw Tong Dan, and approached the table, “When you messaged me, I had just finished a meeting at the company.”

“Actually, if you’re busy, there’s no need to come specifically.”

After speaking, Tong Dan introduced, “My best friend, Fang Qing, a top lawyer, now the Legal Director of Tianci Capital.”

“Tianci Capital?”

Pan Yang was slightly stunned.

“You know it?”

Pan Yang nodded, “Of course I know.”

He then looked at Fang Qing with a hint of surprise in his eyes at how young she was, “Miss Fang, nice to meet you.”

“Hello.”

Fang Qing nodded and smiled politely.

The three of them sat down.

“This is an authentic Chinese noodle shop, opened by a classmate of Mr. Fang.”

“Is it?”

Tong Dan’s evaluation was correct, this seemingly decent man was indeed a bit awkward in social situations, his smile directly revealing his unease in handling such a setting.

“No need to be nervous, old bosses as young as Mr. Fang are indeed rare, but she won’t eat people.”

Alright.

Instead, he felt even more embarrassed.

Not good at socializing.

Yet managing to do quite well in a Fortune 500 company, he must be a technical talent.

“Last night, thanks for protecting Tong Dan.”

Pan Yang gave an awkward yet polite smile, “It should be Miss Tong protecting me, if not for Miss Tong, we might not have gotten out of that store.”

“Helping each other out.”

Tong Dan said indifferently, “I’ll tell you a trick, if you ever run into a situation in Tokyo and have trouble, send a message to a number that says I’ve discovered oil here, just like last night, any problem can be solved.”

Pan Yang was dazed.

Fang Qing laughed without speaking.

She said it like it was real.

But…the number?

Give it, then.

“Thank you, Miss Tong. But there’s no need, I probably won’t be coming to Tokyo again.”

“Why not?”

Tong Dan was curious.

“Because of the issue with our Shenzhou branch, the headquarters asked us Shenzhou employees to voluntarily resign.”

“Resign? On what grounds? Your company’s issues were not caused by those Dongying people dumping nuclear waste into the sea, were they?”

Tong Dan was indignant, then asked, “Voluntary resignation means no severance pay, right?”

“…”

“…”

Although she shouldn’t, Fang Qing almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.

This girl really considers everything thoroughly.
