"How dare you open your mouth?!" Manager li interrupted gu chengyan harshly, and his anger spread to her in an instant, "You are more hateful than her, don't you know? You don't want to fight with your colleagues on your first day here, do you?!"
"We didn't, they..."
"All right, all right! Shut your mouth! If something goes wrong and you don't think about your own reasons, you will know to blame your colleagues. The people you hate the most are you. More than 20 people in the family can get along so well, why do you two have to go against each other? It looks like if I don't punish you, you'll have to lift the roof!"
Manager li did not intend to listen to ye zhiqiao's explanation at all. The reason why he left Li Ruonan here was to show her how he punished ye zhiqiao and her so as to flatter her.
Seeing that manager li had made up his mind, gu chengyan understood that it was useless to say anything else at this time, so he had to give up the argument about the right and wrong with Li Ruonan and pleaded with manager li, "Manager... You have no objection to punishing me, but this is all because of me. It has nothing to do with zhiqiao. You can punish me."
"!"
Ye zhiqiao looked at gu chengyan in disbelief. The latter still looked at manager li with a sincere face, as if she really wanted to bear the punishment alone.
Ye zhiqiao was even more surprised. Gu chengyan's sudden appearance had already made her extremely surprised. Now, gu chengyan, who was determined to harm her, actually wanted to take responsibility for her. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it no matter what.
However, although the reason was not clear, gu chengyan's act of protecting her was still uncontrollable and touched her. Ye zhiqiao was moved and decided to put aside all the previous grievances and advance and retreat with gu chengyan.
"Manager li, that's not the case." She pulled gu chengyan behind her and said, "It was me who argued with my colleagues. The whole thing started because of me. If you want to punish me, punish me. It has nothing to do with gu chengyan."
"Bang!"
Manager li slammed the table and shouted, "Shut up! Shut up! I am the manager. You are the manager. Do you listen to me or me? You don't take punishment seriously. You're playing with your best friend here, right? That's great. You'll be punished together and continue to love each other!"
The punishment was decided by manager li, and there was no room to return it. Ye zhiqiao and gu chengyan looked at each other and were both disappointed.
Li Ruonan, who had been watching the show for a long time, was finally satisfied. He greeted manager li with a smile, then left the manager's office with his flattering smile and the glare of gu chengyan and ye zhiqiao.
Gu chengyan and ye zhiqiao did not need to stay, so they calmed down and said to manager li, "Manager, then we will go out first."
Manager li didn't even raise his eyelids and gave an angry "Yes."
The two of them took a deep breath and walked out of the manager's office one after another.
In the office, Li Ruonan had already told his colleagues what happened to them as a joke, so when they returned to their respective seats, disdainful laughter began to spread from all directions.
"Hey, look at him. He doesn't take punishment seriously. He's still in the mood to continue his work." A female colleague who was drinking coffee said sarcastically.
"That's right. What kind of person is he? He's used to all kinds of things. Even if he gets fired, he might be able to find another home!"
"That's not right..." The young girl who was enjoying her manicure with her heavy makeup not far away curled her lips and said, "In this city, with the reputation of being expelled by the gu family, can you still survive?"
Li Ruonan sighed, leaned back against his desk, and raised his eyebrows, "According to you, should we be nicer to others in the future? Otherwise, if we really get fired, they might hate us. Haha..."
As Li Ruonan began, a triumphant laugh resounded through the office, but manager li, who was sitting in the manager's office, seemed to have heard nothing and did not react.
Ye zhiqiao was used to this kind of unfair treatment, and could continue to work without caring about the ridicule of others, but gu chengyan, who had a short temper, could not accept it at all.
She had been furious ever since she was scolded in the manager's office, and now that Li Ruonan and the others were provoking her again and again, she couldn't help but get up and say angrily, "Mind your mouths! Don't gloat too early, let alone laugh at us. We have a long way to go. We don't know who will win or lose!"
"You're about to be fired, and you still have sharp teeth?" A colleague asked.
Gu chengyan sneered and gritted his back teeth, "Haven't you been opened yet? And you should be glad that I didn't get fired. Otherwise, I won't have to be controlled by the gu family. I'll have time to deal with you one by one. See who we... Can use up."
The last four words, as if squeezed out from a crack in one's teeth, inexplicably sent a chill down one's spine.
The coworkers who had gathered and pointed at each other before froze, then found excuses to go back to their positions and start working, as if the episode had not happened. They were not as powerful as Li Ruonan. Naturally, they were afraid that they would really provoke gu chengyan to be punished.
But Li Ruonan did not like this scene. She did not like all the people who did not obey and please her, and she had to deal with them obediently!
So during her lunch break, she teamed up with a few "Obedient" colleagues to get gu chengyan to a place where no one was around to clean him up.
At that time, gu chengyan was discussing going to dinner with ye zhiqiao, and the young girl who appeared behind her suddenly called her, "Gu chengyan, the manager asked me to ask you, did you finish the task he gave you?!"
Gu chengyan was stunned, then turned around and said, "Wasn't that arranged for me at ten o' clock? It's only two hours now. How can it be so fast?"
The young girl rolled her eyes, "How would I know? Anyway, he said you had to go to him before you finished."
"Now? It's lunch break!"
"Aiya, do you want to go or not? If you don't go, you'll be punished again!" The young girl waved her hand impatiently and said as she walked towards the door, "He's in the lounge on the first floor. I've brought him with me, and he has nothing to do with me ever since."
She said so seriously, gu chengyan naturally did not dare not go, a punishment is enough, if she still wants to stay here, she must be careful in words and deeds.
Therefore, the previous plan to have lunch with ye zhiqiao had to be scrapped. Gu chengyan smiled bitterly and shook his head at ye zhiqiao. He went to the execution ground and took the elevator to the first floor.
