Chapter 239: I Liked It
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Xiao Jing denied the accusation placed on Qiao Liang merely with a few words, and even turned Lu Hongkun from the victim to the inflictor. His words seemed to make perfect sense that the journalists all believed him. One of the journalists nodded as he said, “Yes, President Qiao looks so genteel. He doesn’t look like a person who will assault others. I’ve photographed President Lu assaulting a barmaid and hitting others before, but I haven’t seen President Qiao hit anyone.”
“Yes, I saw President Qiao once. He looked like a banished immortal indeed! He rarely talked with people. How could he hit people?! Maybe President Lu fabricated this to extort a large sum of money from the Qiao’s International Group because his company is going to go bankrupt.”
The journalists all nodded. “Yes, yes, in any case, the Qiao’s International Group is one of the top companies in China and even in Asia. It’s normal for him to think this way.”
Upon seeing the journalists’ reactions, Xiao Jing smiled. He then stood upright and said solemnly, “Our company is not going to tolerate the slander on our leader. Our legal department will lodge a lawsuit against this behavior. Please wait for the court’s judgment. Thank you for your concern. See you.”
With that, Xiao Jing turned to leave. When he entered the elevator, he scowled. After reaching the floor where Qiao Liang’s office was in, he walked to Qiao Liang’s office with a dark face. Seeing him, Little Five hurriedly came up to him. Xiao Jing said coldly, “Have you checked the company’s CCTV system? Is there any picture showing that Lu Hongkun was hit by Qiao Liang?”
“Yes.” Little Five nodded. “But I’ve deleted these pictures. I’ve also had Little Six checked the employees’ cellphones to make sure there is no video about this in them. Mr. Xiao Jing, you can rest assured.”

“Damn it.” Xiao Jing frowned and put a hand into his pocket, saying sullenly, “I was going to catch up on sleep, when I suddenly saw the news and I almost fell out of bed! What’s wrong with him? Why did he suddenly hit Lu Hongkun?!”
At this time, the door of the office was pushed open. Xiao Jing paused and Qiao Liang walked in with a straight face, glanced at him and said coldly, “I liked it.”
Xiao Jing moved his lips and forced a smile. “Well… you liked it? Then go out and solve those journalists yourself! Don’t wait for me to solve them for you! Take responsibility for what you’ve done!”
“Did I ask you to solve them for me?” Qiao Liang said as he walked towards the elevator. Xiao Jing hurriedly caught up with him. “What are you going to do?”
“I have something to tend to.” As he said, the door of the elevator was closed. Xiao Jing took a look at Little Five and snapped.”Come on, follow him. Are you going to take the responsibility if he causes any trouble?”
Little Five said okay and hurriedly caught up with Qiao Liang, but the other elevator remained on Floor one, so he took the stairs to chase Qiao Liang. Xiao Jing stood in front of the elevator, watched the number of the floor changed and sighed, “Give me a break!”
When the elevator reached the floor again, Xiao Jing took his hand out of his pocket and was about to enter it, when a girl came out. Recognizing who she was, Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows and was about to ignore her and enter the elevator, but the girl took his arm. Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows, looked at her hand holding his arm and frowned as he asked coldly, “What’s up?” His voice was cold and emotionless.

Qin Xinying’s face froze and then gave him an apologetic smile. She looked up at Xiao Jing and asked gently, “President Xiao, don’t you know me?”
Xiao Jing looked at Qin Xinying and snorted in his heart, but he didn’t expose his real emotion. He frowned in confusion and asked, “Have we met before? Do I have to know you?”
“Well…” Qin Xinying froze and cursed Xiao Jing in her heart, thinking that the Xiao Family people were just as annoying as Xiao Rou, especially this Xiao Jing. When she became Qiao Liang’s wife, this nasty man would be the first one she would fire!
With this in mind, she put on a gentle smile and said in a low voice, “We had met several days ago, when I came to find President Qiao but he was not around and I accidentally bumped into you…” She shyly lowered her head as she said.
Looking at her affected look and thinking of what she had done to Xiao Rou, Xiao Jing felt disgusted and didn’t want to talk with her anymore. He raised his eyebrows, nodded and asked, “So?”
“Well…” Qin Xinying looked embarrassed and paused for two seconds before she said, “I lost a USB flash disk that day, and I haven’t found it today, so I’d like to ask you whether you saw a USB flash disk that day?”
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Jing was more disdainful to Qin Xinying. What Rourou said was right. This woman enjoyed all the honors with other’s works. Shameless woman! Now she lost the USB flash disk and couldn’t swindle people anymore, so she became so anxious that even came to ask him at the risk of being discovered.
“I’m sorry, but I didn’t see it. I’m afraid I can’t help you.” Xiao Jing looked at Qin Xinying and smiled. “I gotta go. Bye.”
Qin Xinying stopped him, saying, “But I only met you that day.”
Xiao Jing looked back at her and gave her a smile, but the smile was chilly. He said coldly, “Miss Qin, please give it a second thought before you say anything. Think about it. Did you really only meet me that day? Besides, did you only go to Floor 63?”
With that, Xiao Jing strode into the elevator.
Little Five had been waiting sweating profusely in the first floor lobby when Qiao Liang arrived there. Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows, looked at Little Five and asked with a straight face, “What’s up?”
Little Five said, “Young Master, let me drive for you.”
Qiao Liang didn’t say anything, put his hand into his pocket and kept walking outside. Little Five hurriedly followed him, when the journalists who hadn’t left suddenly rushed up and kept taking pictures of Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang’s face turned chilly, and some journalists timidly put away their cameras under his glare. At this time, a bold journalist suddenly shouted, “President Qiao, President Lu said on the Internet that you used violence against him and badly wounded him. Is what he said real?”
Hearing this, Qiao Liang stopped, turned to that journalist and asked grimly, “What do you think?”
The journalist was startled. He swallowed his saliva and said, “Well, President Xiao said you didn’t do it. Is he framing you?”
