Chapter 6 Prejudice and misunderstanding

The door of the office was pushed open. Lily came in with a small file holder in her hand. When Lily saw Fade at the door, her expression changed slightly. Lily then asked, "Are you Doctor Chen from the medical room?"

"Uh-" Fade was a little surprised by Lily's greeting. After all, they seemed to have no contact with each other except for the time when he came in for his shift this morning. "Yes, I am."

"What happened downstairs-" Lily looked at Fade and said.

Fade waved his hand and said calmly, "It's all right now. President Lin has already decided on my punishment."

After that, Fade continued to step out of the door.

As soon as she heard that, Lily's expression changed, "Punishment, punishment for Fade? President Lin, what, what's going on?"

Quin felt strange about Lily's reaction and she frowned slightly and explained, "Fade has admitted to beating Secretary Qin and stealing the company's medicine. So I decided to punish him."

"What, it's impossible! That's not true. President Lin, Fade has done nothing wrong. You can't punish him," Lily replied.

"What did you say?" Quin frowned.

Donald didn't expect that Lily would intervene when he had already won. His expression suddenly changed and he shot a stare at Lily. Donald said in a low voice, "Manager Wei, President Lin has already made up her mind. Don't talk nonsense."

Quin said to Lily, "Lily, Fade himself admitted that he didn't work hard, stole medicine, and even had a fight. Do you have anything else to say?"

"That's impossible!" Lily quickly shook her head and said, "President Lin, I don't know what you have just heard, but I can guarantee that it's not what you think. Fade is right in this matter. At least the main responsibility is not on him."

"What do you mean?" Quin asked in confusion.

Lily quickly explained, "President Lin, I asked Xenia who was in the medical room at that time. In fact, Secretary Qin was the one that went too far. He asked Fade to kneel down to treat him, but Fade refused, which is the reason they had a conflict."

"Er-" Quin raised her eyebrows.

Donald quickly explained, "My calves are uncomfortable and it's not convenient for it to be treated without the doctor kneeling. It's easier that way. What is wrong with that, should a doctor take the posture he's in into consideration when treating a patient?"

"If your calves are uncomfortable, why can't you sit down? Or even lie down? Why must Doctor Chen kneel down? Secretary Qin, this is not a good excuse," Lily said.

"It's, it's not convenient for me." Donald's face turned red and found an excuse to change the topic hurriedly. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Fade can't deny that he stole medicine, can he?"

"Speaking of this, it's even more ridiculous." Lily directly took out a video and played it. "You will know what's going on after watching this."

The content of the video was very simple. It showed a security guard sneaking into the medical room and stole a pack of medicine from there. The security guard was the security guard who besieged Fade and found the medicine that was said to be stolen.

"The surveillance video showed that it's not Mr. Chen who stole the medicine, but the security guard!" Lily said, "Besides after Xenia counted the medicines left, nothing in the medical room has been stolen except for that bag of imported medicine. How do you explain this, Secretary Qin?"

Upon hearing this, Donald was already cursing in his heart.

Of course, that package of medicine was not stolen by Fade. Originally, Donald gave the security guard a sum of money for him to buy a pack of the same medicine and then framed Fade for the loss of the medicine.

Looking at the current situation, it seemed that the greedy security guard had swallowed the money Donald gave him. The security guard then went to the company's medical room and stole a pack of medicine from there. The security guard thought that he was smart enough to frame Fade but he didn't expect that he would be caught.

This matter could no longer be explained. Donald could only take the initiative to admit his mistake and said, "It seems that I have made a mistake about Fade stealing the medicine. I myself was also deceived by the security guard. At that time, when he said that he found it from Doctor Chen, I believed his words without a doubt. I will reflect on my mistake. President Lin, I will hand in the self-reflection letter to you tomorrow."

Quin's expression softened a little when Secretary Qin took the initiative to admit his mistake.

With that being said, Donald was more than ready to leave. After all, there is a problem with the security guard. Donald must deal with it immediately. Otherwise, once someone else knew about him bribing the security guard, he would be in deep trouble.

Thinking of this, Donald said, "President Lin, if there's nothing else, I'll go first."

However, Lily snorted and said, "Secretary Qin, why are you in such a hurry to leave? We haven't made it clear what has happened between Doctor Chen and you!"

Donald's face changed, but he still managed to resist the urge to let out his anger. Donald squeezed out a gentle expression and said, "Manager Wei, it's just a misunderstanding. It's my fault that I didn't figure it out sooner."

"I'm afraid it's not just a misunderstanding. We'd better figure out some things first!" Lily said.

Upon hearing Lily's words, Donald's face changed instantly and darkened. Donald rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "Manager Wei, maybe I was wrong but you can't deny the fact that Dr. Chen publicly beats up his superior and physically hurts me to this extent."

"This......" Lily was speechless and could not defend Fade.

Seeing this, Quin said coldly, "We can investigate other things but beating people up is indeed too much. Fade must be punished for this."

Upon hearing this, Fade, who was standing at the door, suddenly said coldly, "I will never forgive anyone who insulted my parents, no matter what the consequences are."

After that, Fade directly turned around and left.

Quin was stunned by Fade's actions.

Upon hearing this, Donald seized the opportunity and quickly added, "President Lin, you've also heard it. At this time, he is still so arrogant. Fade threatens to hit people in front of you. Such a person must be fired."

Quin frowned and said to Donald, "Secretary Qin, health is the most important thing. You should go to the hospital first."

Donald took the hint to leave.

In the office, it was now only Quin and Lily.

Quin frowned and said quietly, "Fade had caused so much trouble only on his first day. And his temper is too..."

Lily refuted, "President Lin, no... Quin. You have really misunderstood Fade. "

"Misunderstood?" Quin looked at Lily doubtfully.

Lily did not say much; instead, she clicked on another video and said, "This is a video of Secretary Qin having a fight with Fade in the medical room. You will know after watching it."

Quin took the phone and looked at it quietly.

A few minutes later, the video had finished. Quin fell into silence. The content of the video was already clear enough. Donald's arrogant attitude clearly showed that he's trying to pick a fight. Moreover, Donald also insulted Fade's parents. This was the reason that provoked Fade to beat Donald up.

Thinking of her misunderstanding towards Fade and her distrust of him, Quin couldn't help but think of how angry and confused Fade must be; not to mention, his bitter smile of disappointment. Suddenly, Quin felt a jolt in her heart.

It was her who had misunderstood Fade and had a prejudice against him. Therefore, without knowing the truth, Quin believed Donald's words and made a hasty decision to punish Fade.

This prejudice and distrust had surely hurt Fade greatly.
