Besides anger, I was mostly surprised.
When did this young lady become so ruthless?
Now she’s even able to fabricate stories about me poisoning her.
Impressive!
It seems that I had underestimated her before.
I didn’t bother explaining anymore, because she had solid evidence. No matter how much I explained, it would be of no use, and she’s still Gu Yuanzhou’s beloved.
Gu Yuanzhou was still at her mercy regarding right and wrong.
“Miss Ye, are you implying that I wanted to harm you?”
Ye Mengyan was still sobbing.
“I also didn’t wish for this to happen, Xiaoyun. I’ve always treated you as a sister…”
I took a deep breath.
“So let’s do this, to prove my innocence, let’s call the police! Let them investigate who exactly is trying to harm you.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Mengyan’s face instantly changed.
“I think it’s best not to. After all, we are all family. On top of that, Brother Gu’s business isn’t doing too well right now. Any negative publicity would do more harm than good.”
“Oh, how do you think this matter should be handled then?”
As I asked, Ye Mengyan stopped crying.
She sat up straight and looked at me,
“Xiaoyun! I don’t want us to become enemies either. To avoid similar conflicts and surprises in the future, why don’t you resign?”
She said this directly in front of Gu Yuanzhou.
I remained silent.
Turning my head to look at Gu Yuanzhou.
“What does President Gu think?”
Ye Mengyan also turned to look at Gu Yuanzhou,
“Brother Gu! Regardless of whether Xiaoyun did it or not, I find this incident very suspicious and it makes me feel unsafe. If Xiaoyun resigns, this kind of thing will never happen again, don’t you think?”
Ha, her intention is to have me resign to prove my innocence.
Gu Yuanzhou did not answer her, but instead looked at me deeply.
“What do you want to do?”
“I have not done this, of course, I hope that President Gu will restore my innocence.”
“Do you have evidence to prove your innocence?”
“No evidence!”
It’s funny to think about it. Spreading rumors is easy, but refuting them is exhausting.
Meeting Gu Yuanzhou’s scrutinizing gaze, I straightened my back and stood my ground. There was even a barely noticeable smile at the corner of my mouth.
Of course, the smile was a mockery of Gu Yuanzhou.
Mocking his blindness. Could he not see that Ye Mengyan’s acting was terrible?
“Without evidence, why should I clear you?”
“Oh, then President Gu can just fire me!”
“What’s your attitude?”
I knew I was angry. I was somewhat distressed, so my tone towards Gu Yuanzhou was a bit tough.
It seemed to have offended him, and he was not pleased.
“This is my attitude! If President Gu doesn’t like me, just fire me!”
Seeing that I was arguing with Gu Yuanzhou.
Ye Mengyan sitting on the side, surprisingly revealed a satisfied smile.
I knew she was waiting for Gu Yuanzhou to fire me.
“Do you think I dare not fire you?”
Gu Yuanzhou’s tone was also very harsh.
This attitude did not surprise me, as he was indeed blindly spoiling Ye Mengyan.
“Dare, President Gu is the decision-maker of the company. There’s nothing you can’t do! However, if you fire me, I’m afraid you would suffer significant losses.”
Gu Yuanzhou assumed a very business-like demeanor and immediately asked me,
“Tell me, what losses will the company suffer?”
“Ah, I recently received reports that some employees in the company are taking personal favors at work, engaging in illegal activities, and trying to seize company resources. This matter may appear trivial, but if it’s not addressed in time, the consequences could be terrible.”
Gu Yuanzhou is very concerned about the company. After hearing what I said, he became interested.
“Then tell me, which job position has the problem?”
Of course, I wouldn’t tell him,
“President Gu, if you’re going to fire me. I am sorry, I better not say.”
“You!!!”
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t expect me to refuse him.
On the spot, he dragged me into the room and closed the door.
He lit a cigarette, then turned and looked at me,
“If you don’t feel comfortable saying it in front of Ye Mengyan, you can say it now.”
“What?”
“I said before, I can give you the position of Mrs. Gu, you don’t need to undermine Ye Mengyan.”
“It seems that President Gu still doesn’t trust me at all!”
Gu Yuanzhou glanced at me, his voice deep.
“I’ve known her for many years, and you, for less than half a year. Who do you think I would trust?”
I chuckled lightly,
“President Gu’s trust might have been misplaced!”
“Oh really?”
“If I could prove that Miss Ye is manipulating President Gu, could President Gu give me more trust?”
“More trust, what do you mean by that? Are you referring to the title of Mrs. Gu?”
Of course, I had more plans in mind.
Just by the fact that Gu Yuanzhou called me into the room, I knew that he had already been mesmerized by Ye Mengyan and lost his original intentions.
Without me, without our two children, he was no longer Gu Yuanzhou.
So, I slowly tried to take control of the Zhenyi Company from his hands.
“Oh, didn’t President Gu say before that I had high management talent and business acumen? I hope to become the deputy manager.”
“Not satisfied with being a secretary?”
“As I have said, with my talents, I can do so much more. Isn’t it better to make full use of resources for the Zhenyi Company?”
“Fine!”
Gu Yuanzhou was persuaded by me.
Only then did I take out my phone and show him the video.
“This new accounting department head, Miss Yuan Li, is pulling strings for her own interest, she has an affair with the fabric merchant.”
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t believe it initially, but when he saw the video footage of Yuan Li accepting a cash bribe from the fabric merchant, his face instantly turned gloomy.
When Gu Yuanzhou and I walked out of the room.
Ye Mengyan was waiting outside the door.
Seeing Gu Yuanzhou’s unhappy face, she thought her scheme succeeded.
So she took the opportunity to advise him,
“Brother Gu, Xiaoyun seems quite pitiful. Are you really going to fire her? Even if you do fire her, could you consider giving her a two-month compensation on my behalf?”
I could see her tactics, she was purposefully showing her kind side to Gu Yuanzhou.
But Gu Yuanzhou just glanced at her lightly,
“Don’t worry, I don’t plan to fire her.”
“Then you…”
“We’re heading to the company!”
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t say much and took me out.
Ye Mengyan stood at the door, looking at us with a puzzled expression.
After a few minutes, when the car hadn’t started yet, Ye Mengyan rushed over. She knocked on the car window and asked Gu Yuanzhou,
“Brother Gu, I want to go with you.”
“Get in the car!”
Ye Mengyan was about to get in, but she saw me sitting in the passenger seat next to Gu Yuanzhou.
Instantly, a hint of jealousy appeared in her eyes. Holding onto the car door, she said to me,
“Xiaoyun, you sit in the back! I want to sit with Brother Gu, I have something to tell him!”
