Chapter 248 This time the misunderstanding is huge (1)
She sighed softly, "I'm afraid the director's refusal is useless. This young lady has plenty of ways to get in, so why should the director have to be unhappy with her over this?" If she wasn't mistaken, as long as Meng Xinyu apologized to Chi's mother, admitted her mistake, and cried a few words, Chi's mother would soften her heart and let her come back to work.
"Zuo Zuo, although Fan Hua Design belongs to the Chi family, I own half of the shares here. If I refuse, no one can get in."
Yan Zuozuo lowered her head and thought for a moment. That made sense. Fisher was the major shareholder here. She asked, "I suppose Meng Xinyu's spoiled princess temper has flared up again?"
“A little.” Fisher gave a sarcastic smile, paused, and said, “She looks like she’s coming for you. I’m here to tell you that no matter what, be careful of this woman. Even if she’s not very bright, it’s still best to be cautious.”
Insufficient intelligence...
Yan Zuozuo shared the same sentiment; anyone with a modicum of common sense wouldn't have pulled off something like that yesterday. She nodded, "I understand, thank you for the reminder, Director."
“I’ll say it again: as long as you ask, I can handle things perfectly without alerting President Chi. Zuo Zuo, do you need my help?” Fisher asked.
Yan Zuozuo naturally hoped to handle everything without alerting Chi Moqing. However, if she really let Fisher help her, she feared it would be impossible for her to keep her distance from him in the future.
Meng Xinyu and Qin Yun only framed her over the recording, but if she offended Fischer, she would be completely betraying Chi Moqing. She couldn't do that; even if she was framed, she couldn't truly let her husband down.
She smiled slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, Director, but I think it's unnecessary." She took a sip of coffee, put down the cup, and said, "The coffee you brewed is very delicious. I think the woman who marries you in the future will be very happy. I wish you find that person soon."
Yan Zuozuo's words are clear; I hope Fisher will think twice before acting.
Fisher's eyes flickered, and he chuckled, "Like President Chi, I'm selective about who I choose from among many options. If it's not that one person, then no one else's appearance will make a difference."
Yan Zuozuo met Fischer's affectionate eyes, and her expression changed slightly. However, she still smiled and said, "Then I wish the director all the best in finding that perfect match. Does the director have anything else to say? If not, I need to get back to work."
Fisher stood up: "Since you like my coffee, I'll make it for you every day from now on. I won't disturb your work any longer, I'll go out now."
Yan Zuozuo was immediately petrified. What did he mean by cooking for her every day? Fisher had become increasingly blatant lately. She was conflicted. What was he doing? Was he determined to never give up until he was completely cornered?
"Wait!" she suddenly said, and Fisher turned around, raising an eyebrow and smiling. "What's wrong?"
Yan Zuozuo took a deep breath: "Director, I may be impolite to say something, but I still want to make it clear to you. My relationship with you is just that of a superior and subordinate, nothing more. So there are some things that you shouldn't say to me. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I still think it's better to make things clear."
Fisher remained unfazed, a faint smile on his face. "Is there anything else? If not, I must head back."
What does it mean when someone twitches their left cheek?
As soon as Fisher left, Qin Yun came in, looking at her with a gloomy expression. "What did the director want with you?" Seeing the coffee in Yan Zuozuo's hand, Qin Yun's face contorted with jealousy.
"Do I need to report my affairs to the deputy director one by one?" Yan Zuozuo looked up at her and said indifferently.
"How dare you talk to me like that? Don't forget, I still have something on you!"
"Deputy Director, let me remind you, I have two months. During these two months, I am free to do whatever I want. Even if you want to threaten me, you should wait until two months later, shouldn't you?" Yan Zuozuo glanced at her indifferently.
Qin Yun's face turned ashen with anger. Yan Zuozuo calmly took a sip of coffee and continued, "Deputy Director Qin had better know when to stop. After all, I don't necessarily want to be threatened by you. I have many choices. In the end, I'm afraid it will be Deputy Director Qin who will be living in fear. So don't push me too far, otherwise it won't benefit anyone."
"you!"
"If the deputy director has nothing else to say, please leave. I need to get back to work."
Qin Yun was furious. He stared intently at Yan Zuozuo and said, "Let you be smug for two months. We'll settle the score then!"
She turned and walked away, the force of her high heels conveying her anger.
Yan Zuozuo sighed helplessly, her face full of bitterness.
In the president's office of the Chi Group.
Chi Moqing had been staring at the document for a long time, but he couldn't absorb a single word. What was his little wife thinking? He had already made his point very clear, yet she was still continuing to hide it.
The reason he hasn't taken action against anyone who dared to bully his wife is because he's waiting for her to confess. If he acts rashly and his wife finds out, she definitely won't be able to accept it, and it might even cause her more negative emotions.
It's clear that his wife doesn't intend to tell him. Why? Or does she have another solution?
Fisher... O'Neal...
Did his wife plan to ask them for help without his knowledge?
He shook his head, knowing full well that she would never do that. So what was she planning to do?
Just as Chi Moqing was deep in thought, his phone rang. It was the police station calling, saying that there was sufficient evidence to prosecute Su Fei for Yan Zuozuo's report, and that Meng Xinyu had simply not intervened and was not involved in the case.
Chi Moqing said a few words and then hung up the phone. Su Fei dared to bully his wife while he was away, making his wife still tremble with fear. Wouldn't it be too easy for her to be arrested and sentenced by the police?
He sneered and immediately called his special assistant in, "Send someone to follow Sophie 24 hours a day. You know what to do?"
Meeting Chi Moqing's gloomy eyes, the assistant immediately said, "Yes, President, I'll take care of it right away."
It seems this woman named Sophie has completely enraged the CEO. Tsk, he really can't imagine what will happen to her. Of all people to mess with, she had to provoke their CEO! Does she have a death wish?
Just as Chi Moqing gestured for his assistant to leave, his phone rang again. It was his mother calling, saying that Meng Xinyu knew she was wrong and was crying and trying to apologize to Yan Zuozuo, asking them to forgive her this time and let her go back to work at Fan Hua Design.
Chi Moqing's expression hardened: "Mom, you know how big a fuss this has caused. If you make her go back to work, how do you expect Zuo Zuo to feel?"
"Mom knows it's inappropriate, but you also have to understand that Xinyu is, after all, your aunt's daughter, and we still have to consider family ties. Besides, Xinyu already knows she was wrong, she's just a child, so please forgive her this time."
“This isn’t the first time. If it weren’t for Mom’s sake, do you think she would still be able to stay in the country? Zuo Zuo is about the same age as her, yet she treats her like a child. Isn’t it unfair of Mom to do this?” Chi Moqing said unhappily, her face dark.
Mrs. Chi was speechless for a moment. She knew that Meng Xinyu had gone too far this time, but after all, she was her sister's daughter, her niece whom she had watched grow up. She couldn't bear to just watch her cry and do nothing.
"Why don't you come back for a meal and let her apologize to Zuo Zuo in person?"
"Mom, what do you think Fan Hua Design is? She's ruined her own reputation. If I insist on putting her there, what will the management think? What will others think of Zuo Zuo?"
Chi's mother also felt it was inappropriate, but Meng Xinyu was crying her eyes out, and she couldn't just ignore it, so she said, "How about we find her another place?"
"Mom, do you think any company would dare to hire her now that she has such a bad reputation?" Chi Moqing said without any mercy. "If she really intends to turn over a new leaf, there's a shortage of people in Europe, so she can go there to gain experience. But if she stays in China, I'm afraid no company will want her. Let her think about it herself. This is all I can do."
Chi Moqing hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He hadn't even gone to settle accounts with Meng Xinyu yet, but she had come knocking on his door first. His slender fingers tapped on the table, his face icy cold.
He had already given her one chance, but she didn't know how to seize it and even dared to confront his mother. She's got some nerve! It seems his cousin has always been spoiled rotten; she doesn't even know right from wrong. If he wanted to teach her a lesson, it would be a piece of cake. He's only refraining from doing so because of his mother's reputation.
This time, however, he wouldn't let her off so easily. How dare she bully his wife so blatantly! He'd teach her a lesson she wouldn't forget!
Just before leaving get off work in the afternoon, Yan Zuozuo was packing her things to leave when she received a call from Fisher, "Come out with me later, I have something to talk to you about."
Yan Zuozuo frowned: "What's wrong? I need to go home early today to cook for my husband..."
"I'm sure you're curious about the relationship between Tong Shili and President Chi. I'll be waiting for you in the garage after get off work."
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. Undeniably, she was indeed filled with suspicion about the relationship between Tong Shili and Chi Moqing. Fisher's words struck a nerve, and she unconsciously agreed.
So she sent Chi Moqing a text message saying that something had happened at the company and she had to work overtime, so she would be home later.
Chi Moqing simply replied: Okay.
After getting off work, Yan Zuozuo rushed to the parking lot and saw Fisher already waiting there. When he saw her coming, he gestured for her to go to work, stepped on the gas, and the car sped away.
However, in a corner not far from the parking lot, a pair of eyes glared at them resentfully, as if they wanted to tear Yan Zuozuo to pieces. Then, she got into the car and sped away.
Fisher parked the car in front of a coffee shop, and Yan Zuozuo asked impatiently, "Director, why did you suddenly think of telling me about Miss Tong?"
Fisher followed her into the coffee shop, ordered two coffees, and said, "Tong Shili and I used to work for two different companies. We know each other, and I am naturally aware that she has expressed her special affection for President Chi in public on more than one occasion. I think she came back this time just because she was afraid of President Chi."
Yan Zuozuo was startled, then murmured softly, "She likes Chi Moqing?"
“This is nothing new in the American fashion industry, but that’s not the main point I’m bringing you up today.” Fisher took a sip of coffee and looked at Yan Zuozuo.
Yan Zuozuo was puzzled: "What does the director want to say?"
"Tong Shili's background has always been a mystery. When she was in the United States, her nemesis investigated her background in order to take her down. Strangely, no matter how they investigated, they could not find any clues. In other words, this woman has a strange origin."
