Chapter 283: Chapter 256: Not Accompanying Me?
"Fake, it’s all fake!" An Zhiyi suddenly shouted, "It’s all fake, fake! There’s no surveillance at Yu Jin! The recording is fake too, I never said such things, never!"
His sudden outburst startled quite a few people.
An Zhiyi was drenched in sweat, his face pale, looking like a ghost, with a dazed expression. His whole body kept trembling as he kept shouting loudly.
Even Nole started to claim the surveillance was fake.
Qiao Yuxian sat leisurely in her chair, watching the two of them. She waited until they quieted down a bit before she said, "You can take the recording to a specialist to verify whether it’s real or fake. As for the surveillance... you can verify it too. But anyone with a brain wouldn’t doubt the surveillance, right? Such surveillance, people, location, time, who can synthesize it so quickly?"
An Zhiyi seemed not to hear, staring blankly, mumbling to himself: "Fake, fake, fake..."
"You two are so sure that the surveillance is gone," Qiao Yuxian said softly, "Why? Did you tamper with the surveillance?"
An Zhiyi kept mumbling.
Nole suddenly fell silent.
Qiao Yuxian chuckled and said, "You are vile yourself, can’t control yourselves, and when you can’t get it, you turn the tables. Saying you are shameless is an insult to the word ’shameless’."
"Qiao Yuxian, watch your words," Nole said, "After all, I am a client of the Gu Group, traveling all the way from M Continent, show some respect."
Gu Yanjing looked up at him.
Qiao Yuxian said, "Oh? Now that you know you have no way out, you start to bring up your family to protect yourself?"
Nole stood up and straightened his clothes.
"I said it before, if Gu Yanjing values you, you are a guest, otherwise, you are nothing," Qiao Yuxian said calmly, "I gave you a chance last night, it’s you who didn’t take it. Do you think your family can protect you?"
Everyone looked at Qiao Yuxian.
Looking at the usually gentle little girl suddenly turn assertive and imposing.
It’s like she suddenly transformed from a little white rabbit into a wolf.
Making people feel a sudden distance from her.
They used to regard her as a little sister, but now they feel she’s someone they are not qualified to converse with.
This feeling wasn’t there even when they found out she was Miss Gu.
Now, this feeling is very strong.
Qiao Yuxian said, "You should think about how you will account when you go back. You should also think about whether your family will protect you or push you out to protect the whole family."
"Do you think the Miller Family will be afraid of you?" Nole said, unwilling to give up.
"You’ll know when you go back," Qiao Yuxian said softly, "Oh, and remember to tell your family to compensate our translation department for the lost work this morning."
"You..." Nole couldn’t speak, trying hard to suppress his panicked emotions, but his facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, exposing him.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at him, then looked away, not wanting to look at him one more time.
Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian, and seeing she didn’t want to look at him anymore, he said, "Su Qi, throw him out."
"Yes," Su Qi responded.
Wan Ying, with his scholarly facade, immediately turned into a lackey to help.
Su Qi glanced at him.
Wan Ying gave him a very friendly and flattering smile.
Su Qi ignored him, grabbed An Zhiyi by the back of his collar, and dragged him out.
Wan Ying caught hold of Nole and dragged him out too.
But Nole suddenly struggled, "You can’t do this to me, I’m a guest, do you not want to discuss our cooperation?!"
Wan Ying saw him struggling and shouting.
He frowned irritably, stripped off his jacket, and tied Nole’s hands.
This was something he learned from Liu Zhou last night at Yu Jin Hotel.
He then grabbed two blank A4 papers from someone’s desk nearby, crumpled them randomly, and stuffed them into Nole’s mouth.
Stuffing Nole so much he gagged, taking the chance to quickly drag him away.
Once they were taken away, the entire office area fell silent.
Everyone was dazed and seemed not to have regained their senses.
After a while of silence, Qiao Yuxian looked at everyone’s stunned expressions, then stood up.
As soon as she stood up, everyone turned to look at her.
A few seconds later, Luo Yin Ning and Qian Huai also stood up.
As the two stood, everyone else gradually followed suit.
Qiao Yuxian was startled by this; had it not been for their stiff expressions, she would have thought they got up to fight her.
She glanced around, then looked to Gu Yanjing who was sitting, and said, "Thanks to Mr. Gu for personally coming down to redress for the employees. Now that the matter is resolved, I’ll not delay your time."
It meant, you can leave now.
But Gu Yanjing watched her without moving.
Qiao Yuxian also looked at him, winking, suggesting he leave first.
Seeing her cute demeanor, Gu Yanjing stood up.
Qiao Yuxian immediately made way for him and prepared to see him off with a smile.
But after Gu Yanjing stood up, upon seeing her standard smile, he paused and asked, "Doesn’t the madam want to come upstairs for a bit?"
Qiao Yuxian immediately performed a disappearing smile act.
Her little face stiffened, then blushed slightly.
He, he, he actually called her madam.
It seemed like the first time.
And in front of so many people.
Everyone watched them.
"I, I..." Qiao Yuxian pointed awkwardly at her workstation, stammering, "I still have a lot of work to do."
"Do you?" Gu Yanjing asked.
"Yes," Qiao Yuxian replied very firmly.
She definitely didn’t want to go up now.
Going up now would surely lead to settling accounts, she didn’t want that!
She planned to run away right after work in the afternoon and hide outside for two days.
According to past experience, the matter of hiding her internship from him would pass.
Qiao Yuxian was calculating perfectly in her mind.
But Gu Yanjing had long seen through her little schemes. So... he said, "Alright, see you after work."
Qiao Yuxian breathed a sigh of relief, secretly delighted, "Okay. I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Yanjing turned to everyone and said, "Sorry for taking up your time. Half a day off this afternoon."
Qiao Yuxian looked at him, "?????"
In an instant, everyone’s eyes lit up.
No one dared to speak, not daring to believe what they just heard.
Gu Yanjing turned to the manager of the medical machinery department and said, "Terminate the cooperation with M Continent, follow-up matters will be handled by Su Qi."
"Yes, yes," the manager of the medical machinery department said, wiping his sweat.
Afterward, Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian again and said, "Off work."
Qiao Yuxian: "......"
She was too naive.
Having just agreed so readily, she should have been more cautious.
Qiao Yuxian’s lips moved, making one last struggle: "Then, since it’s off, I’ll leave."
"Not keeping me company?" Gu Yanjing asked, looking at her.
Clearly, there were no emotions in those three words.
But at this moment, Qiao Yuxian felt that Gu Yanjing was pitiful, very lonely.
It seemed like he was alone, with no one to accompany him.
Plus, with that extremely attractive face.
The words of refusal were stuck in Qiao Yuxian’s throat, unable to come out. Finally, she said, "Accompany."
"Hmm."
Upon receiving a firm answer, Gu Yanjing took her hand and led her toward the elevator.
