Then, she looked back at ye zhiqiao, her tone full of sarcasm: "Okay, now that you've made it clear, do you still have the face to stay here? Better pack up and get out of here!"
"Speaking of leaving the gu family, I think of another thing..."
Gu chengyan dragged the long note meaningfully, attracting everyone's attention, including ye zhiqiao. Then he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Yesterday at the restaurant, I seemed to hear president gu telling manager li that... He wanted to fire you, but why haven't you left yet? Is it..."
She smiled vaguely and continued, "Is it the backer behind you who helped you put in a good word and put everything in order?"
The words "Fired" and "Backer" came out of gu chengyan's mouth and were blatantly in front of so many people that Li Ruonan's face could not hold on for a moment. The previously forced calm could no longer be maintained, and the panic was written all over his face.
Yesterday's farce was indeed taken care of, so she could now stand here safely, but she had just scolded ye zhiqiao in front of her for selling her body. Although she was not selling herself, the essence of going through the back door was the same. If her colleagues knew, wouldn't she have slapped herself in the face?
Gu chengyan took a good look at her bewildered look, curled his lips in amusement and continued relentlessly, "If you don't have a backer, then at this moment, the person who should leave the company should be you. Hmm? Miss li?"
Gu chengyan continued to provoke and ridicule her. Li Ruonan was so angry that her teeth itched but she could not find a word to refute it. She could only glare at her fiercely and said in a stern voice, "I won't leave! You can rest assured that even if I leave the gu family one day, it will only be because I have done enough to resign. Otherwise, the gu family will never take the initiative to dismiss me. Anyone of you can be fired, and I will never!"
Behind her was mother gu, who was even more influential than Mohan gu. At any time, gu mohan would not dare to disrespect her, so she had mother gu's protection and was not afraid of anyone in the company!
Since gu chengyan insisted on making her background known to the world, she decided to go along with gu chengyan's wishes. Anyway, she had the power of a gu mother. Even if others felt unfair, no one would dare to go against her. In the end, she was not going to work so hard to curry favor with her.
As long as she had the upper hand, what did the true thoughts of those insignificant people have to do with her?
Li Ruonan's words were an indirect acknowledgment of her backer, but gu chengyan and others still did not know who her backer was, but ye zhiqiao could guess one or two.
The person who tried to persuade ye zhiqiao to come to gu's work was gu's mother, and Li Ruonan, who was always looking down on her when she came, also followed her. Manager li, who treated her like a class enemy, always smiled like a spring breeze when facing Li Ruonan. Even gu mohan's stern order to expel Li Ruonan last night was easily ignored...
Besides mother gu, ye zhiqiao couldn't think of anyone else who could do this.
If it was really mother gu, then neither she nor the imposing gu chengyan in front of her could compete with her power. If they continued to entangle, it would only hurt themselves.
Ye zhiqiao did not know whether gu chengyan was sincere or fake in helping her this time, but since she had helped, she had reason to say something.
So, she turned to gu chengyan, who was eyeing Li Ruonan, and said, "Chengyan, I forgot where I put the report yesterday. Can you print another one for me?"
"Hmm?!" Gu chengyan was stunned and did not understand what she meant.
Li Ruonan was also stunned, surprised that ye zhiqiao suddenly stopped.
Ye zhiqiao did not go to see Li Ruonan and continued to say to gu chengyan, "Because I have to tidy up and hand it in at ten o' clock. If I can't finish it on time, I might get scolded. Can you help me?"
As she spoke, she smiled gratefully at gu chengyan.
Gu chengyan still did not understand the situation, but since ye zhiqiao opened her mouth, she naturally could not refute ye zhiqiao's face, so she nodded happily and agreed, rubbing Li Ruonan's shoulder and leaving the office.
After she left, ye zhiqiao lowered her head and continued her previous work, completely treating Li Ruonan as air.
This kind of disregard, in Li Ruonan's eyes, was already a sign of compromise. She seriously thought about the reason why ye zhiqiao pushed gu chengyan away and gave in. After a while, she came to a conclusion that ye zhiqiao was frightened by her background.
That's right, it must be like this. After she said she would never be fired, ye zhiqiao's face didn't look very good. Then she immediately dismissed gu chengyan and put out the war unilaterally. Apart from deliberately holding back for fear of her revenge, she couldn't find any other explanation.
Thinking of this, Li Ruonan could not help but laugh at ye zhiqiao's weakness in her heart. At first, ye zhiqiao dared to confront her face to face, and even offered to compete. She thought ye zhiqiao was a hard bone. Now, it seems that ye zhiqiao was also a lump of pus. She knew that if she could not fight, she would immediately withdraw her army. It was a smart performance, but it could not change the fact that people looked down on her.
Li Ruonan shook his head and looked disappointed, intentionally or unintentionally.
But ye zhiqiao didn't even look at her from the corner of her eye, so naturally she wouldn't see the mocking expression she made on purpose.
After the war between the two of them ended, the rest of the colleagues turned their eyes back to work. Ye zhiqiao thought that Li Ruonan would leave immediately if he felt bored. At best, she said some harsh words to disgust people.
But instead of leaving, Li Ruonan pulled a chair and walked over to her.
Hearing the movements around her, ye zhiqiao couldn't help but turn around and take a look. She was so shocked that her eyes almost fell off.
She actually saw... Li Ruonan smiling at her...
And it was a smile, a kind smile, no disdain, no ridicule, no hostility at all like the kind of smile between friends!
Ye zhiqiao thought she was dazed and blinked hard to look at it again. The result was the same. The smile on Li Ruonan's face was the same as the one painted on it. There was no change at all.
"You... What are you doing?" After a long time, she shrank back and stuttered.
"Ah, it's like this..." Li Ruonan rubbed his finger against the tip of his nose and said softly, "I was a little excited just now. You know, I'm just impatient. I can't hide anything in my heart. Maybe there's something wrong with you. I hope you can bear it."
