President, please comfort me.

To welcome the new employees, Zhang Zhiqi, the group leader of Xinwanghe and the Technology R&D Department, organized a dinner party at the Quan Hai Sheng Yan Restaurant that evening.

The group had fewer than fifteen people. Including Wen Qi, there were only three girls in total. The older one, who was in her early thirties, was named Zhang Xiaoting, and the other one, who was about the same age as Wen Qi, was named Lin Nana.

As usual, Zhang Xiaoting booked a large private room for everyone, and people gradually arrived at the restaurant around 7 p.m.

Another new employee this time is a boy named Zhou Zhou. He greeted Wen Qi during the training session during the day. Since they were both newcomers, they naturally sat together during the dinner.

Zhang Xiaoting's colleague looked at her with admiration: "Xiaoting, you're amazing! You managed to book a private room. Quan Hai Sheng Yan is one of the most difficult restaurants to book in the capital."

Another person chimed in: "Yeah, only our company boss is so generous, giving so much to the department. My friend's company doesn't give them anything, they're incredibly stingy."

Someone else said, "Our Xinwang Hehe is under the Xiao Group, a leading enterprise in the capital. Its benefits are second to none. No other company can compare."

Zhang Xiaoting chuckled and said, "My friend knows the manager here, so I asked her to keep an eye out for me. It just so happens that a customer canceled their order today, so we managed to get an appointment."

Listening to everyone's chatter, Zhang Zhiqi looked at Wen Qi and Zhou Zhou warmly and said, "Wen Qi and Zhou Zhou, welcome to our group. If you need any help in the future, just let us know and communicate with the other members of the group. We'll be working together from now on, so let's understand and be considerate of each other at work. Your mentor happens to be the most knowledgeable person in the group, so you can't go wrong by asking him for help."

The mentor, Li Zhibin, was a man in his forties with an upright appearance. He nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, you are welcome anytime."

A colleague glanced at Wen Qi and Zhou Zhou and teased Li Zhibin, "Old Li, you probably won't be able to get these two to bother you at work. I heard that Wen Qi and Zhou Zhou were recruited with high salaries and their skills are top-notch."

Wen Qi and Zhou Zhou smiled modestly as they listened, and then stood up at the same time, raising their glasses to the crowd: "Thank you everyone, and we hope you will continue to take care of us in the future."

The injection of youthful energy has made the whole team vibrant. After work, they enjoy a few drinks, gossip, and a meal together, all in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Wenqi was surprised by how warm and friendly the group members were. Although the seafood on the table wasn't to her taste, she was especially happy because of the harmonious atmosphere.

As fate would have it, Xiao He, Ye Lin, and Tang Chao also arrived at the All Sea Banquet that evening, in a private room on the top floor.

After Wen Qi and her group finished eating and drinking, they prepared to go back. As they passed through the hall, a drunk man saw her slightly flushed face and her bright and beautiful appearance, and walked towards her.

Taking advantage of her inattention, the man immediately reached out and groped Wen Qi from behind, tightly embracing her.

Wen Qi was so frightened that she screamed.

Li Zhibin was walking in front of Wen Qi. After hearing the voice, he immediately turned around and, upon seeing the man, slapped his hand hard.

Freed from her restraints, Wen Qi instinctively took a few steps to the side, but accidentally bumped her waist against the corner of the table and gasped.

Feeling humiliated after being assaulted in public, the man, fueled by alcohol, grabbed an empty bottle and smashed it over Li Zhibin's head.

Li Zhibin was indeed a bit older, and despite raising his hand to dodge, he was still a step too slow.

With a crisp "bang," the bottle shattered instantly, making a series of cracking sounds. Some of the shards embedded themselves in Li Zhibin's hand, while the rest flew outwards.

Today, Wenqi was wearing a French-style black floral print fitted dress. The hem of the dress reached her thighs. When it hit her lower back, she felt a sharp pain. Before she could move away, a small shard of glass pierced her thigh. A streak of red blood immediately seeped out from her fair skin, which looked shocking on her slender legs.

At this moment, everyone realized what was happening and immediately joined forces to restrain the groping man. During the struggle, the bowls, chopsticks, and wine glasses on the table were pushed and shoved, making a loud "clattering" sound. The groping man kicked the chair violently like a madman and cursed loudly.

When the restaurant security arrived, the man who had groped Li Zhibin had already been caught. Someone had called the police, and the security guards dispersed the crowd, gave Li Zhibin some basic first aid, and then waited for the police to arrive with Wen Qi and her group.

Perhaps because the noise in the lobby was too loud, Ah Chen was smoking on the top floor corridor when he glanced over and unexpectedly saw Wen Qi. She was leaning against the table, looking a little disheveled.

He immediately stubbed out his cigarette, and as he walked towards the lobby, he took out his phone to call Xiao He.

The phone rang, and Xiao answered it, only to hear A-Chen's breathless and nervous voice: "Brother Xiao, I'm heading towards the lobby. Wen Qi and her colleagues had a little trouble in the lobby while they were having a meal together."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He frowned, immediately stood up, and walked towards the door: "I'll be right down."

Ah Chen hung up the phone and quickly went to the lobby. He walked towards Wen Qi and saw that she didn't look well. He asked with concern, "Xiao Qi, what's wrong?"

Wen Qi's eyes were wet and her nose was a little red. She looked up and saw A Chen. Still not fully recovered from the shock, she looked pitiful and said, "I accidentally bumped into the table and twisted my back."

Everyone knew that Ah Chen was someone close to the president, so they quickly greeted him when they saw him coming over.

Knowing that Xiao He would be arriving later, Ah Chen spoke in a deep voice, quickly persuading everyone to leave first.

While it was said to be a suggestion to leave, what was actually said was not to be taken lightly. Ah Chen had been by Xiao He's side for a long time, and in front of outsiders, he was quite similar to him.

Everyone knew that Ah Chen was very capable, so they didn't dare to argue. After saying a few words of concern to Wen Qi and Li Zhibin, they decided to go back first.

Wen Qi and Li Zhibin didn't want to take up any more of everyone's time, so after exchanging a few polite words, they saw everyone off.

Zhou Zhou didn't know A-Chen's identity and didn't think too much about it. She simply wanted to stay and lend a hand: "I'll stay and take care of Wen Qi and my mentor. Anyway, I don't have anything to do later."

Just as Achen was about to speak, Xiao Hefeng appeared in front of Wen Qi like a gust of wind, followed by Tang Chao and Ye Lin.

The three of them, seeing this scene, roughly knew what had happened.

Seeing Xiao standing there motionless, Ah Chen whispered a reminder: "Brother Xiao, Wen Qi twisted her back."

In fact, Xiao had seen the blood on Wen Qi's fair thighs from afar, but he didn't expect her to twist her waist. Without thinking, he took off his coat and covered her legs with it.

Then I looked up at her and saw that her eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked so aggrieved. She must be in a lot of pain.

He wanted to ask her if she could still walk, but his body bent slightly as if out of control, reaching out an arm to wrap around her back and gently embrace her, while his other hand steadily supported her slender legs, letting her lean naturally against his left shoulder.

His movements were gentle and steady, as if he were afraid that any rough movements would hurt her.

Wen Qi's face flushed slightly as she looked at him with fear, nervousness, and shyness, her eyes darting away, clearly embarrassed.

As Xiao He stood up, Wen Qi, feeling insecure, naturally wrapped her arms around his neck.

He held her tightly in his arms, feeling her petite body tremble slightly in his embrace, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
