Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 267 Regarding Gu Qingxin (2)

In Yan Zuozuo's office, Cai Keren sat angrily opposite her, unable to help but curse, "That guy surnamed Gu is really awful, he's infuriating!"

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "It is indeed despicable."

Cai Keren was taken aback and looked at her in surprise. "I thought you would advise me to let it go. It seems you are really angry this time."

"Gu Qingxin is clearly in cahoots with Qin Yun. I'm afraid they're planning to get rid of me and take this position for themselves."

Cai Keren frowned slightly, recalling how Gu Qingxin and Qin Yun often whispered in the office. "Ah, right, that's it. I overheard Gu Qingxin and Qin Yun plotting about becoming the director's assistant when I passed by the break room once. I hadn't remembered until you mentioned it. Yes, yes, that must be their purpose!"

"Is there anyone else in the company who has a good relationship with them?" Yan Zuozuo asked.

Cai Keren thought for a moment: "Others haven't paid much attention, but you know, most designers are proud and disdainful of forming cliques."

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "That's true." After a moment of contemplation, she took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to Cai Keren, "Give this to Gu Qingxin and tell her that she can come to me anytime if she has any questions."

Cai Keren glanced at the letter curiously, then turned and left. Not long after she left, there was another knock on the office door. This time, Tong Shili came in, holding a file in her hand. "This is what I organized when Director Song and I went out."

Yan Zuozuo took it and looked at it: "Thank you for your hard work on this trip."

"Not at all, I've actually learned quite a bit," Tong Shili smiled. "By the way, I heard some gossip outside as soon as I entered the company. Did something happen?"

Yan Zuozuo smiled helplessly: "It's nothing, there was just a little accident during the meeting."

"I knew it, I was telling you..." Before Tong Shili could finish speaking, there was a loud, rude knocking on the door, clearly indicating that the visitor was up to no good.

Tong Shili glanced at Yan Zuozuo and said, "Who is this? So ill-mannered."

Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow and smiled, then called out towards the door, "Come in."

The door was pushed open forcefully, and Gu Qingxin walked in in high heels, glaring angrily at Yan Zuozuo, "I have something to tell you!"

"Go ahead."

Gu Qingxin glanced at Tong Shili and said, "Miss Tong, could you please step out for a moment?"

Tong Shili smiled and said, "Miss Gu is coming in with such a fierce attitude, I think I should stay. In case anything happens, I can be a witness."

"What do you mean?"

"Miss Gu, you can interpret it however you want. If you have something to say, then say it." Tong Shili turned around, poured herself a cup of coffee, and sat on the sofa, giving off an impression that she didn't care about anyone's presence.

Gu Qingxin glanced at her, then turned to look at Yan Zuozuo. "You tacitly allowed her to leave this, so don't blame me for not giving you face." With that, she slammed the letter Cai Keren had just given her onto the table. "What does this mean?"

Yan Zuozuo glanced at the letter indifferently: "Didn't I write it very clearly? Miss Gu is exceptionally talented and is really not suitable to stay in our group, so is there anything wrong with recommending her to another group?"

"Since we've come this far, I won't beat around the bush. I'm currently an intern. If you don't keep me in your group, it means you'll kick me out of Fan Hua Design. Where will I get other groups? You're clearly using this to settle personal scores!"

Yan Zuozuo smiled slightly: "Miss Gu is so talented, I believe other groups would be vying for her, how can you say she's being kicked out?"

"Yan Zuozuo!" Gu Qingxin gritted her teeth and glared at her. "If you're unhappy because I said something wrong in the meeting, I'll apologize. But I won't stand for this personal vendetta!"

"Settling personal scores?" Yan Zuozuo smiled faintly. "Several interns who came in at the same time as Miss Gu have already submitted their design drafts twice, but where are Miss Gu's design drafts? I haven't seen anything for so long. The only thing I've seen is that Miss Gu has excellent speaking skills. Actually, I think the public relations department might be more suitable for Miss Gu."

Gu Qingxin's eyes darkened: "Yan Zuozuo, are you trying to purge people and act like you're above everyone else? Let me tell you, you have no right to purge me. Believe me, I can not only make you take back this letter, but I can also make you apologize to me!"

Yan Zuozuo had anticipated Gu Qingxin's response, so she smiled and said, "Miss Gu can go now. I remember you have connections. Since you're not satisfied, it's perfectly acceptable for you to use your connections. I'll wait for you."

Gu Qingxin was taken aback: "You, Yan Zuozuo, aren't you afraid? Then let's wait and see. If I lose, I'll admit it!"

She stared intently at Yan Zuozuo. She had originally thought that with this woman gone, the position of director's assistant would be hers. Therefore, knowing that Qin Yun and Yan Zuozuo didn't get along, she had often conspired with Qin Yun to sabotage things behind the scenes, and Yan Zuozuo had never said anything. She just hadn't expected that this woman would leave and then actually come back, and with such a ruthless move right away—truly insidious! She had underestimated her!

"Yan Zuozuo, don't think you can act recklessly just because someone is backing you up. You'll regret it one day!"

"I don't know if she regrets it or not, but I am very clear that Miss Gu still doesn't know where she went wrong, and she doesn't know how to reflect on herself. Even if you are a talented person, my temple is too small to accommodate such a great god as you."

Gu Qingxin pursed her lips, staring intently at Yan Zuozuo. She felt a surge of resentment, realizing all her efforts had been in vain and she had been inexplicably expelled. She had initially thought Yan Zuozuo was easy to bully, and that even if she caused trouble, she would only receive a warning at most. However, she hadn't expected this woman to return with such a domineering attitude, giving her no chance to even process her actions.

No! She can't just be kicked out like this. Leaving Fan Hua Design is the same as leaving that person. She absolutely can't let go of the big fish she's caught!

Taking a deep breath, Gu Qingxin lowered her stance and said, "Team leader, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance."

Yan Zuozuo looked at her with a half-smile: "I said I was just recommending you to another group. I believe Miss Gu will have a better future if you leave my half-dead group. By the way, you can also go to Deputy Director Qin's group. I heard the two of you have a good relationship."

“Team leader, you should be well aware of the hiring principles of Fan Hua Design. If I don’t get recognition from you and can’t be officially hired, other teams won’t accept me. Please give me another chance. I’ll do anything for you,” Gu Qingxin said calmly.

Faced with her humble attitude, the old Yan Zuozuo might have actually agreed to let her stay. But now, she would never be soft-hearted again. After everything that had happened, she clearly understood one principle: to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself!

And she will never do such an idiot again!

“Ms. Gu, instead of wasting your breath on me, you should go find Deputy Director Qin. Maybe she can help you. If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”

"Yan Zuozuo, are you really going to go this far?"

Yan Zuozuo took a sip of coffee indifferently: "Everyone makes their own way. You reap what you sow. You can't blame others."

"Very well, then we'll see!" With that, Gu Qingxin slammed the door and left.

The office door slammed shut, startling Tong Shili, who was drinking coffee. She nearly choked. "What a temper and what a tone!"

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "I've seen her design drawings when she applied for the job. She's actually quite capable. If she works hard, she'll be a permanent employee sooner or later. But unfortunately, I can't keep her here, so I had to ask her to leave in order to seek better opportunities."

Tong Shili chuckled softly: "I admire your way of handling things. That's how a person should be—decisive when necessary. No wonder President Chi is so captivated by you."

Yan Zuozuo smiled and called Cai Keren, "Keep an eye on Deputy Director Qin's movements for me."

Looking at the seemingly transformed Yan Zuozuo, a glint of light flashed in Tong Shili's eyes. This kind of woman was more challenging. To be honest, if she were still the same Yan Zuozuo, she wouldn't be interested in competing with her for a man.

However, she was determined to have Chi Moqing!

Gu Qingxin returned to her office, angrily sweeping all the documents off the table. She clenched her fists so tightly that her lips almost bled from biting them. Not only had she been kicked out by Yan Zuozuo, but when she went to find Qin Yun, she was also severely humiliated by her. And now, she couldn't even expect Yan Zuozuo to help her.

She slammed her fist on the table. After much deliberation, she realized she had no choice but to call that person. Although her relationship with him was purely based on money and sex, now, no one else could help her.

With a determined look, she dialed the number. After much pleading and nearly twenty minutes of talking, the other person finally agreed to help. Hanging up, she took a deep breath, looked at the bustling crowd outside, and suddenly felt a chill run through her.

In Fisher's office.

"Yes, the women's clothing department had a meeting this morning. According to people in the women's clothing department, there were a lot of conflicts during the meeting, and it ended on bad terms."

"I understand." Fisher hung up and leaned back in his seat. He knew Qin Yun wouldn't let Yan Zuozuo off easily this time. It seemed those photos hadn't taught her a lesson; she was now openly causing trouble for Yan Zuozuo.

He sneered. Years ago, this woman was already so self-righteous; he hadn't expected her to remain so arrogant. It seemed it was time to teach her a lesson, or she'd never learn!

Fisher got up and poured himself a cup of coffee when his phone rang. He glanced at the number and was clearly taken aback. The CEO of MB—since leaving the company, he and Qin Yun had rarely been in contact because of Qin Yun. Why was he calling now?

"President Steven, hello... Yes, yes, it's been a long time. What are your instructions?"

After some pleasantries, Steven said, "Director Fisher, I just wanted to ask if you have someone named Gu Qingxin?"

"Gu Qingxin? Ah, I remember now, she's an intern designer. I wonder why President Steven would ask about her?"

"It's like this, I encountered some difficulties when I went out to do some business two years ago, and fortunately I was saved by this Miss Gu. I haven't been able to find an opportunity to repay her, and now that I heard she works for you, I thought I should help her if I could. I'll have to trouble Director Fisher to give her more opportunities so that she can develop well."

Fisher raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding. "Gu Qingxin, right? Good, good, I've got it. Don't worry, President Steven. Oh, by the way, I heard you're coming to China soon. I'll have Qin Yun accompany you around. She's also at Fan Hua Design now, and happens to be Gu's superior."

Steven's face stiffened, and after saying a few brief words to Fisher, he quickly ended the call.

Damn it, what a coincidence!

Fisher hung up and stared at his phone for a long time. No wonder Gu Qingxin was so arrogant; it turned out the big fish behind her was Steven. This was interesting. What would Qin Yun think if he knew that she was abandoned by Steven and left America in such a dishonorable way because of this Gu Qingxin?

He took a leisurely sip of coffee, a cold smile flashing in his eyes.
