“Don’t you know? Mr. Gu is laying off a lot of staff, many of whom were our men. I suspect it was deliberately targeted at us.” Xiaolu whispered, afraid to be overheard by someone with bad intentions.
Wen Shuyue really didn’t know these things at first. She became sullen immediately after hearing what Xiaolu said.
The only reason Gu Ning did this was to crack down on her. Wen Shuyue now had to take every step cautiously in this company. Otherwise, she would hit rock bottom.
“Miss Wen, what shall we do now? Mr. Gu must have thought we were developing our own power, so he deliberately laid off staff to crack down on us.” Xiaolu whispered.
Xiaolu actually saw a lot of things very clearly, but that it didn’t make any difference if she said it or not due to her poor capability.
This incident caused a great blow to Wen Shuyue in some way. Gu Ning had made it clear that he wanted her to be a spy in Mannis.
In her current relationship with He Siming, she couldn’t do such a shameful thing. No matter how hard Gu Ning tried to suppress her this time, she just ignored it.
For the rest of the day, Wen Shuyue went on working as before, not taking any of the trifles to heart. Perhaps that was why Gu Ning deliberately called Wen Shuyue back to his office.
“Aren’t you angry that I made so many of your employees redundant?” Gu Ning said slowly, with a faint smile on his face throughout, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.
“This is your company,” Wen Shuyue shrugged. “You can do whatever you want. I’m not qualified to interfere.”
“You’ve got all these great people, and I’m letting them go. You don’t want justice for them?” Gu Ning raised an eyebrow, apparently not expecting Wen Shuyue to be so patient.
“What if I want justice? Am I capable enough to get it?”
Wen Shuyue sighed inwardly, lowered her head, and pondered for a long time. Then she smiled politely rather than awkwardly, “Capable people can get rich anywhere. Even if they don’t follow me, they will definitely have a bright future.”
Gu Ning didn’t expect her to say that. He opened his mouth but finally stopped talking. He obviously didn’t know how to respond.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.” Wen Shuyue didn’t want to continue entangling. Now she no longer had respect for Gu Ning. She only wanted to stay away and didn’t want to have any contact with him.
Her words infuriated Gu Ning, who suddenly slapped the table and stood up. He stared at her coldly, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burn her out.
“Wen Shuyue, you take me less and less seriously. Do you really think you’d be where you are without me?”
That was it again.
That was what he would say to her almost every time they had a fight. It was true that she relied on him to make her career path so smooth, but it was also because she had enough ability.
Wen Shuyue took a deep breath and finally spoke up.
“If I upset you so much right now, I’d rather resign.”
“Resign? How dare you resign? ” Gu Ning was furious and shouted at Wen Shuyue.
The quarrel between them was heard outside, and many people knew that Wen Shuyue quarreled with Gu Ning. The news of the disagreement between the two presidents of the company traveled fast.
Wen Shuyue did not speak again. She stood still, letting Gu Ning point at her.
“Come and see what it is! I was wondering why you didn’t go to Mannis. It turned out you’ve hooked up with their president. Do you know who He Siming is? Do you really think he likes you? ”
After a long silence, Gu Ning suddenly put his phone in front of Wen Shuyue, and the video on the phone showed her kissing He Siming.
Wen Shuyue’s face sank. She hesitated for a moment, then said in a calm voice, “So what? You shouldn’t be in charge of our affairs, should you?”
“You don’t want me in charge of your affair? Do you know I…” Gu Ning was so angry that he spoke without thinking at all. But in the end, luckily, he reacted in time and stopped.
His eyes kept flashing as if he had not thought that he would say such words. Before, he had never cared what Wen Shuyue did, or even what she said.
But he didn’t know why he was so worried that she would come into contact with men since He Siming appeared. At first, he only thought he was worried about her, but later he found out it was not.
“Well, don’t even think about resigning. Get back to work.” Gu Ning sighed deeply and finally gave in.
He knew Wen Shuyue’s personality too well. If she really didn’t want to do it, she wouldn’t do it no matter what he said, even if he put a knife to her neck.
It was a little hard for Wen Shuyue to digest. She stared at Gu Ning for a while, then nodded and left.
“You and him…”
Just as Wen Shuyue reached the door, Gu Ning’s voice came again behind her. His voice sounded mournful as if something painful had happened.
This question caught Wen Shuyue by surprise, and a wry smile came over the corners of her lips. Now she had no idea what the relationship was between her and He Siming, or even whether He Siming liked her.
“What exactly is your relationship?”
Gu Ning finally forced himself to ask the question because he could not be quiet until he got it straight.
“There’s nothing between us, believe it or not. I don’t want to explain anything more.” “Wen Shuyue said slowly. Her calm words made it hard to make out what she meant.
“I believe it.” Gu Ning blurted it out without thinking. A faint smile finally appeared on his pale and sullen face.
Wen Shuyue said no more, pushed the door, and left. Gu Ning was so sophisticated that she could not understand what he meant.
Once she thought she knew something about him and that Gu Ning had a crush on her, but it turned out to be just her wishful thinking.
What Wen Shuyue feared now was that the relationship between her and He Siming was also her wishful thinking.
“He Siming… I really don’t know what to do.” Wen Shuyue murmured bitterly to herself, with a touch of sadness in her eyes.
