Chapter 381: It Was Indeed Your Fault
Regret and hatred filled Brother Zhao’s heart. There was even a hint of fear in it. He revealed a flattering smile as he said, "Qiao Xi accidentally broke a customer’s wine today. I felt she might feel embarrassed if I scolded her in public, so I warned her privately to be more careful in her work in the future."
Brother Zhao put on a wronged expression. He said softly, "Jin Hai’s guests are either rich or noble. A bottle of wine is worth a lot. Mrs. Ji, I scolded Qiao Xi for her good."
"For her good?" Shen Hanxing sneered and said coldly, "since when did our country implement a slavery law where you can hit and kick your workers if they made some mistake." She looked at Qiao Xi’s face. The slap from before had made her face bruised. If Shen Hanxing didn’t notice and saw Brother Zhao bringing Qiao Xi there, she couldn’t imagine what the man would have done to Qiao Xi.
"Erm... She hit me first. I was so angry that I lost my mind," Cold sweat drenched Brother Zhao’s forehead. He tried his best to explain, "I admit that it’s wrong for me to hit a woman. But there’s no rule saying I’m a man, so I should do nothing and get beaten up. I’m her supervisor..."
"You were the one who took advantage of me first. I slapped you out of panic!" Qiao Xi cried and defended herself. She raised her voice, "if you hadn’t crossed the boundaries, I wouldn’t have slapped you!"
"Liar! Qiao Xi, is this your work attitude?" Brother Zhao was confident when he faced Qiao Xi. He shouted, "you said that I took advantage of you. How could you prove that? I’ve worked in Jin Hai for five years, and everyone knows me. Do you think you can accuse me of what I haven’t done? I’m not someone who you can slander at will!" There were no surveillance cameras in the pantry. Of course, he was not afraid of being exposed.
