Chapter 142: 142: Hatred for Him_1
I poured all my hatred into his cup of coffee.
I want to see him dead.
Dead, right here, right now.
Gu Yuanzhou, however, doesn’t rush to drink the coffee and instead watches me.
“Where were you last night?”
“Oh, I was out to dinner with a friend!”
“Where did you eat?”
“That… doesn’t matter, I was with my friend, it doesn’t matter if we were here or there!”
Perhaps due to nervousness, I can’t remember the name of the restaurant I dined at last night.
“Who was that man last night?”
“President Gu, What are you talking about?”
“Who was it that claimed I killed someone… which man was that?”
I could tell, Gu Yuanzhou was furious.
“It was a friend of mine, he’d had a bit too much to drink, he was just rambling. Don’t take it to heart!”
“It was Ding Yinuo, wasn’t it?”
Gu Yuanzhou reacts swiftly.
I wasn’t expecting the few words Ding Yinuo had uttered during his drunken rant to be heard so clearly by Gu Yuanzhou.
And he even figured it out rather quick.
I acknowledged outright as I realized there was no way to hide it anymore.
“Yes!”
Upon hearing my answer, Gu Yuanzhou slammed his hand on the desk.
His anger rattled the desk, causing the coffee to splash off the surface. Some of it spilled over, staining the papers on the desk.
I quickly grabbed some tissues to clean up, but to my surprise, Gu Yuanzhou used a remote to shut the office’s automatic door.
He stood up, grabbed my wrist, and dragged me inside.
He then locked me in a small space.
Gu Yuanzhou loosened his tie and sat on the desk, facing me.
“The questions I’m going to ask you, you’d better answer truthfully, don’t conceal anything. Because the choices you make will determine whether you can continue to work in the company.”
The last sentence shocked me.
Is he trying to fire me?
“I understand, President Gu, go ahead!”
Gu Yuanzhou searches for a picture on his phone and hands it over to me,
“This was him last night, right?”
The image shows a young man giving a speech at the Tianjiao Company’s annual meeting, it was Ding Yinuo.
I glanced at it and nodded,
“It’s him!”
“When did you meet him?”
Gu Yuanzhou lights up a cigarette, takes a puff, and is eyeing me with his chilly gaze.
By looking at the numerous messages he sent me last night, I can guess he’s suffering inside.
“Hmm, not long, just a few months I guess.”
“Before joining the company or after?”
He questioned me like I was a suspect.
I decided to stick to the details of Song Xiaoyun’s life while answering ‘honestly’
Don’t give Gu Yuanzhou any chance to poke holes in my lies.
“After joining the company!”
“So you do know that Tianjiao Company is our competitor, don’t you?”
“I am not aware! Nobody told me!”
“No told you?”
Gu Yuanzhou scoffs,
“How many times do you meet up in a week?”
“We don’t meet often, very rarely…overall not more than thrice!”
“When you meet, does he ask you to do anything? Such as stealing company secrets? Or working against me?”
Gu Yuanzhou looked at me with complete distrust.
Of course, I deny, “No! Not at all! To be precise, I didn’t meet Mr. Ding individually. I got to know Mr. Ding when I was with Wenya. The dinner last night was hosted by Miss Wen.”
Upon hearing Wenya’s name, Gu Yuanzhou immediately frowned,
“Are you close with Wenya?”
“Oh…it was Mrs. Gu who introduced us when she was alive.”
“So do you really have nothing with him?”
“No, we do not have a private relationship!”
I answered fluently.
Gu Yuanzhou watched me for several seconds, his gaze as cunning as a fox, then suddenly spoke,
“Can I see your phone?”
“Okay!”
Luckily, I acted quick. I had blocked him when Ding Yinuo began his drunken rant last night.
So this time, I readily handed my phone to Gu Yuanzhou.
To my surprise,
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t look at my WeChat messages but immediately dialed Ding Yinuo’s phone number from my phone.
Before could react, Ding Yinuo answered.
He basically picked up instantly.
“Ayun, what’s up? Is Gu Yuanzhou giving you a hard time? Tell me where you are, I’ll come get you! If he dares to mess with you, I won’t let him off.”
Heard Ding Yinuo’s words; I could feel my face burning in embarrassment.
Then, Gu Yuanzhou ended the call.
He smirked at me,
“This is just a friend you’ve met a few times?”
“President Gu, I refuse to answer your questions.”
“Explain yourself! What’s going on between you two? And, did he give you a task! This is your last chance!”
“I’m sorry, President Gu, although I’m working in this company, my personal affairs shouldn’t be your concern. It’s my right to make friends, I don’t believe I have to explain it to you.”
I think it’s better to stay silent at this point because the more you speak, the more mistakes you might make.
The main thing is Gu Yuanzhou is a very astute man, he might use some tactics to expose me.
Gu Yuanzhou is in a normal state right now.
He stubbed out the cigarette, stood up, walked to the window, and looked down.
“I valued you, that’s why I gave you everything! If I didn’t, you’d be nothing!”
His voice was cold.
With my back turned to him, I smirked.
If I hadn’t valued him years ago, he would be nothing now!
After a long while, he opened the office door and walked out.
When I walked out of the room,
He had already straightened his tie, his handsome face exuded a chilling vibe. He was staring at me, his dark eyes were devoid of any emotion.
“I’ll ask you one more time, tell me everything about you and Ding Yinuo!”
“I’m sorry!”
I declined him once again,
Only then did he press the speakerphone button on the desk phone.
The Human Resources Manager answered, “President Gu, what can I do for you?”
“Song Xiaoyun, give her, her final paycheck!”
“President Gu, are you saying…Miss Song will be resigning?”
The HR Manager questioned in bewilderment.
Indeed, anyone would find it hard to believe that the newly promoted vice president of the company, who hadn’t even served a full month, was getting fired.
In fact, I couldn’t believe that Gu Yuanzhou would be so decisive in my dismissal, showing no mercy.
“Yes!”
“Is there any compensation?”
“No, she resigned voluntarily!”
Then, Gu Yuanzhou hung up the phone, looking at me with defiant eyes.
Perhaps he’s waiting for my surrender or compromise.
But I don’t want to, I just push the coffee cup back in front of him,
“President Gu, this is the last cup of coffee I’ve made for you!”
I’m uncertain whether he’ll drink it or not, but I can’t waste the coffee since I’ve added something to it already.
