Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 266 Regarding Gu Qingxin (1)

He toyed with his incessantly ringing phone, a mocking glint in his eyes. It seemed Qin Yun was a typical woman who wanted more than she had; otherwise, the MB CEO wouldn't have called him over a few photos. However, he was also curious to see just how far the MB CEO would compromise for Qin Yun.

His phone kept ringing, but he didn't answer until the caller lost patience and stopped calling. Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang again—the same number—and it rang for a long time before finally stopping.

Chi Moqing's smile deepened. If he guessed correctly, the MB president would be coming to China soon, and this was going to be a real spectacle. He was really looking forward to it.

Sure enough, not long after, his office door opened, and his assistant came in, saying respectfully, "President, the CEO of MB just called and said he will be coming to China next month. He hopes that you can take some time to meet with him so that you can discuss some important matters."

Hearing this, Chi Moqing's smile grew even colder. "I understand. I'll call him back later."

"Yes, President!" The assistant glanced at the record and added, "Half an hour ago, Miss Meng called to invite the President to lunch."

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow slightly: "Meng Xinyu?"

"Yes, but he sounded very unhappy."

Chi Moqing nodded: "Ignore her. In the future, just say I'm not here when she calls."

He had absolutely no interest in how Ou Luhan planned to retaliate against Meng Xinyu. If it weren't for Ou Luhan, he wouldn't have shown her any mercy. Unhappy and coming to him? How could she possibly think that after how she had bullied his wife, he would still be on her side?

Idiot's dream!

Fu Zixin knew Yan Zuozuo was back, so she came over to treat her to lunch. Yan Zuozuo ate to her heart's content, patting her little belly and saying, "It's so great to eat a free lunch. Darling, I don't mind if you treat me to meals often."

Fu Zixin rolled her eyes: "Hey, you rich little lady, you're so fat you're practically dripping with oil, yet you're swindling a penniless poor guy like me. How can you be so shameless?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Your CEO Su is the one who's rolling in fat. Tell me, how have you been lately?" Yan Zuozuo asked leisurely while sipping her tea.

Fu Zixin raised an eyebrow: "What else can happen? It's just like that. Ever since Su Fei was arrested, her parents have been coming to make trouble every day. Su Kang is also having a headache now, but life goes on as usual. In his words, Su Fei deserved what she got."

Yan Zuozuo reached out and grasped Fu Zixin's hand, saying, "I've caused you trouble..."

"Silly girl, you've saved me from a terrible situation." Fu Zixin flicked her forehead and said, "Sophie has gone completely mad. If we don't arrest her this time, who knows how she'll bully my daughter and me in the future. You've done a good deed. I'll thank you with tea instead of wine." With that, she drank a cup of tea, making Yan Zuozuo both laugh and cry.

"By the way, how are Bao'er's eyes? What did the doctor my husband recommended say?" She'd been so busy lately that she'd forgotten about it.

When this was mentioned, Fu Zixin was taken aback, and then her eyes dimmed considerably. "The doctor said that this kind of congenital condition is the most difficult to treat. Even if we take the patient to the United States for surgery, the success rate is only about 30%. They told us to think about it some more."

Is there any danger if the surgery fails?

Fu Zixin shook her head: "The child is too young, and they are not sure right now."

Yan Zuozuo squeezed her hand and sighed inwardly, "So what do you think?"

“I don’t know either. Su Kang meant that even if she can’t see, we’ll stay with her and won’t let her suffer. But what if there are really side effects from the surgery…” Fu Zixin covered her face and cried, “This must be God’s punishment for me. I ruined Su Fei and Wang Kaijun’s relationship, so God is punishing me… But it would have been better if God had just brought all the misfortunes upon me, why punish Bao’er…”

Yan Zuozuo felt a pang of heartache seeing this and took a tissue to wipe away her tears. "Don't think too much. Bao'er's eyes can definitely be saved. We'll find another doctor to take a look."

Fu Zixin wiped away her tears, her eyes red, and said, "That's the only way to think about it."

Yan Zuozuo felt a pang of sadness seeing her like this.

In the afternoon, the women's clothing department held a meeting. Yan Zuozuo was originally Fisher's assistant, but she was also considered part of the women's clothing department, so she had to attend the meeting. She had a feeling that this meeting was specifically aimed at her.

At 2:00 PM sharp, all attendees were present. Song Yutong had to go on a business trip with Lu Yaoyuan, so the responsibility of chairing the meeting naturally fell to Deputy Director Qin Yun.

The meeting began with work reports from each department and future plans, which proceeded harmoniously. However, as the meeting drew to a close, a pointed remark emerged: "I have something to say, though I'm not sure if I should, but I'm a straightforward person, and I naturally ask questions when I have them. As everyone knows, Fan Hua Design is not what it used to be. We're pursuing an international strategy, and our talent recruitment primarily involves internationally renowned designers, such as Director Song Yutong, Deputy Director Qin Yun, and Director Fischer, needless to say. Even if Ms. Yan and Ms. Tong from your team are international stars, shouldn't we have an explanation for Ms. Yan's sudden departure for over half a month, followed by a raise upon her return without any punishment?"

"Indeed, Ms. Yan's actions are extremely irresponsible and have a serious negative impact. Even if Ms. Yan has a powerful background, shouldn't she explain the reasons for her resignation? Otherwise, we really can't condone your behavior." No sooner had the previous speaker finished than someone else offered a similar opinion.

The others whispered amongst themselves, looking on with anticipation for a good show.

Yan Zuozuo sneered inwardly. It seemed that the women's clothing department wasn't as peaceful as it appeared on the surface; someone was trying to take advantage of the situation.

“I can explain, but I’m curious, what kind of reason would be acceptable to everyone?” Yan Zuozuo asked in return.

"What do you mean by that, Miss Yan? Whatever your reason for leaving is, that's what it is."

"No matter what my reason is, I'm sure none of you will accept it. Why don't you tell me a reason, so everyone can accept it?" Yan Zuozuo said with a smile. Since someone wanted to embarrass her, no matter what reason she gave, it wouldn't be accepted.

"Yan Zuozuo, what kind of attitude is this? You left without permission, and instead of reflecting on your actions, you come back looking completely indifferent. Is this your work attitude?" Qin Yun said coldly, seizing the opportunity.

Yan Zuozuo looked up at her, just about to speak, when she heard a sweet, coquettish voice, "I say, Deputy Director Qin, you're really getting worse as you get older. Who is Yan Zuozuo? She's a big shot by Director Fisher's side. It's just a matter of her coming and going. You can't even understand this. It's a waste that you're our deputy director."

The speaker was a woman dressed flamboyantly, with heavy makeup, and was very beautiful, but she had a frivolous air about her.

Yan Zuozuo thought for a moment. This person seemed to be a rising star designer recruited by Qin Yun after he joined the company. He had only been with the company for a few months, but Qin Yun had entrusted him with important responsibilities. It was said that this person had connections at higher levels. As for what those connections were, that remained a mystery.

"Gu Qingxin, what do you mean by that?" Cai Keren asked angrily, dissatisfied.

"What could I possibly mean? I'm just stating the facts. To be honest, I really admire Miss Cai's foresight; she always manages to assess the situation and choose the right position. They say it's good to have a strong backer, and Miss Cai has certainly found the right person to rely on." Gu Qingxin covered her mouth and giggled twice.

"Gu Qingxin, if you want to speak, then speak. Stop with your sarcastic remarks. So what if I relied on the right people? It's still better than some people who are blind and can't even rely on the right people. They just point fingers behind people's backs and do things that are beneath them!"

"you!"

"Alright, both of you shut up! This is a conference room, not a market!" Qin Yun glared at Cai Keren. She had disliked Cai Keren for a long time and wished she could get rid of her. But no matter how many tricks she tried, Cai Keren just couldn't leave, which frustrated her greatly.

She glanced at Yan Zuozuo with indifferent eyes: "You still need to give everyone an explanation for this matter, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."

A murmur rippled through the crowd, all echoing Qin Yun's sentiments.

Yan Zuozuo glanced at everyone and said with a faint smile, "To be honest, I'm just Director Fisher's assistant. Even the team I'm in charge of reports directly to Director Fisher. The women's clothing department meeting originally had little to do with me, and if I'm going to give an explanation, it's not to you all. Actually, I don't understand why I should sit here and accept your criticism and accusations?"

Qin Yun's face darkened: "Matching outfits for parents and children also fall under the category of women's clothing!"

Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow: "I'm not quite sure about this ownership. How about I ask Director Fisher first and then we can discuss it?"

"I knew it! Miss Yan is a favorite of Director Fisher. Now you all have seen what it means to be unscrupulous!" Gu Qingxin said sarcastically. "If you ask me, by this afternoon, Miss Yan's team will be directly under Director Fisher's command. Then she won't need to make a fuss with us here."

"Gu Qingxin, are you out of your mind or have mouth ulcers? You talk so sarcastically, and your breath is so foul it's unbearable. If you can't speak properly, then shut up!" Cai Keren glared at her. This woman was just like Qin Yun, neither of them were any good.

"I'm just saying what I want to say, what's it to you! You want to show off in front of certain people, but they need you to do it. You're just trying to win them over, can't you see they're ignoring you?"

"You stinking woman, do you need to be taught a lesson?" Cai Keren rolled up her sleeves, ready to get started.

"Alright!" Qin Yun's face darkened, and he glared fiercely at Cai Keren before turning to Yan Zuozuo. "Whether you're a favorite of Director Fisher or not is none of my business, but until Director Fisher speaks, you're still part of our women's clothing department. Now explain why you're leaving and give everyone an explanation!"

“Yes, unless you bring Director Fisher over right now and have him announce your departure from our women’s clothing department. Being a celebrity is no big deal for you.” Gu Qingxin said with a coquettish smile, looking at her newly done nails.

Cai Ke was furious and was about to punch someone when Yan Zuozuo stopped her. "It's not that I can't explain why, but before I do, shouldn't Miss Gu explain what it means to have Director Fisher brought in, and what 'celebrity' means?"

Since things have already come to this point, we might as well just lay everything out in the open.

Gu Qingxin blinked innocently: "Why are you asking me? This is an open secret in the whole company. I'm young, so I'll admit my mistakes. Miss Yan, please don't hold it against me. You're a big shot, I wouldn't dare offend you."

Yan Zuozuo sneered: "Is this kind of talk about taking care of Miss Gu just a way of saying that whoever Director Fisher favors will be treated the same? If that's the case, who would dare to work hard? Miss Gu is already twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old this year. She's really young. Is she just starting kindergarten?"

Gu Qingxin looked a little embarrassed: "I misspoke, I'll be more careful next time."

Yan Zuozuo smiled faintly. It seemed that the person who was spreading rumors all over the company had been found. If it really was Gu Qingxin, then what was the reason?
