Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Hatred for Him_1
Translator: 549690339
Perhaps it was because of Gu Yuanzhouâs betrayal over the past four years or his years of exploiting me. So, when I found out he was the one who drugged my uncleâs family, my hatred for him peaked.
I poured all my hatred into his cup of coffee.
I want to see him dead.
Dead, right here, right now.
Gu Yuanzhou, however, doesnât rush to drink the coffee and instead watches me.
âWhere were you last night?â
âOh, I was out to dinner with a friend!â
âWhere did you eat?â
âThat⊠doesnât matter, I was with my friend, it doesnât matter if we were here or there!â
Perhaps due to nervousness, I canât remember the name of the restaurant I dined at last night.
âWho was that man last night?â
âPresident Gu, What are you talking about?â
âWho was it that claimed I killed someone⊠which man was that?â freewebnÏvel.cŃłm
I could tell, Gu Yuanzhou was furious.
âIt was a friend of mine, heâd had a bit too much to drink, he was just rambling. Donât take it to heart!â
âIt was Ding Yinuo, wasnât it?â
Gu Yuanzhou reacts swiftly.
I wasnât 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.
âYes!â
Upon hearing my answer, Gu Yuanzhou slammed his hand on the desk. ÆreeÏebnovel.Æom
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 officeâs 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.
âThe questions Iâm going to ask you, youâd better answer truthfully, donât conceal anything. Because the choices you make will determine whether you can continue to work in the company.â
The last sentence shocked me.
Is he trying to fire me?
âI understand, President Gu, go ahead!â
Gu Yuanzhou searches for a picture on his phone and hands it over to me,
âThis was him last night, right?â
The image shows a young man giving a speech at the Tianjiao Companyâs annual meeting, it was Ding Yinuo.
I glanced at it and nodded,
âItâs him!â
âWhen did you meet him?â
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 heâs suffering inside.
âHmm, not long, just a few months I guess.â
âBefore joining the company or after?â
He questioned me like I was a suspect.
I decided to stick to the details of Song Xiaoyunâs life while answering âhonestlyâ
Donât give Gu Yuanzhou any chance to poke holes in my lies.
âAfter joining the company!â
âSo you do know that Tianjiao Company is our competitor, donât you?â
âI am not aware! Nobody told me!â
âNo told you?â
Gu Yuanzhou scoffs,
âHow many times do you meet up in a week?â
âWe donât meet often, very rarelyâŠoverall not more than thrice!â
âWhen you meet, does he ask you to do anything? Such as stealing company secrets? Or working against me?â
Gu Yuanzhou looked at me with complete distrust.
Of course, I deny, âNo! Not at all! To be precise, I didnât meet Mr. Ding individually. I got to know Mr. Ding when I was with Wenya. The dinner last night was hosted by Miss Wen.â
Upon hearing Wenyaâs name, Gu Yuanzhou immediately frowned,
âAre you close with Wenya?â
âOhâŠit was Mrs. Gu who introduced us when she was alive.â
âSo do you really have nothing with him?â
âNo, we do not have a private relationship!â
I answered fluently.
Gu Yuanzhou watched me for several seconds, his gaze as cunning as a fox, then suddenly spoke,
âCan I see your phone?â
âOkay!â
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 didnât look at my WeChat messages but immediately dialed Ding Yinuoâs phone number from my phone.
Before could react, Ding Yinuo answered.
He basically picked up instantly.
âAyun, whatâs up? Is Gu Yuanzhou giving you a hard time? Tell me where you are, Iâll come get you! If he dares to mess with you, I wonât let him off.â
Heard Ding Yinuoâs words; I could feel my face burning in embarrassment.
Then, Gu Yuanzhou ended the call.
He smirked at me,
âThis is just a friend youâve met a few times?â
âPresident Gu, I refuse to answer your questions.â
âExplain yourself! Whatâs going on between you two? And, did he give you a task! This is your last chance!â
âIâm sorry, President Gu, although Iâm working in this company, my personal affairs shouldnât be your concern. Itâs my right to make friends, I donât believe I have to explain it to you.â
I think itâs 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.
âI valued you, thatâs why I gave you everything! If I didnât, youâd be nothing!â
His voice was cold.
With my back turned to him, I smirked.
If I hadnât 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.
âIâll ask you one more time, tell me everything about you and Ding Yinuo!â
âIâm sorry!â
I declined him once again,
Only then did he press the speakerphone button on the desk phone.
The Human Resources Manager answered, âPresident Gu, what can I do for you?â
âSong Xiaoyun, give her, her final paycheck!â
âPresident Gu, are you sayingâŠMiss Song will be resigning?â
The HR Manager questioned in bewilderment.
Indeed, anyone would find it hard to believe that the newly promoted vice president of the company, who hadnât even served a full month, was getting fired.
In fact, I couldnât believe that Gu Yuanzhou would be so decisive in my dismissal, showing no mercy.
âYes!â
âIs there any compensation?â
âNo, she resigned voluntarily!â
Then, Gu Yuanzhou hung up the phone, looking at me with defiant eyes.
Perhaps heâs waiting for my surrender or compromise.
But I donât want to, I just push the coffee cup back in front of him,
âPresident Gu, this is the last cup of coffee Iâve made for you!â
Iâm uncertain whether heâll drink it or not, but I canât waste the coffee since Iâve added something to it already.
