When Gu Xi entered the company, the workers in the lobby greeted her, but Gu Xi could still tell the uneasiness in their expressions.
She expressionlessly walked into a private lift and when she was already inside, she saw Tang Xinru walking towards where she was.
The atmosphere seemed a little tense and everyone pretended to mind their own business as they lowered their heads.
Gu Xi pressed the lift button. As the lift doors closed, she saw Tang Xinru's stiff face.
Her heart had a strange feeling of pleasure, but that pleasure quickly diminished when she entered her office.
"Manager Gu, do you need a cup of coffee?" Her secretary, Lin Yun, asked and smiled at her.
Gu Xi had not eaten her breakfast yet and her stomach was in slight discomfort; however, she still nodded her head.
Lin Yun smiled. "With two blocks of sugar?"
Gu Xi sent her away and opened up a document file…
At the entrance, a slender figure stood there. Gu Xi did not raise her head and merely softly said, "Put the coffee here and you may go out!"
There was no movement, thus Gu Xi lifted her eyes up and saw Tang Xinru standing at the entrance.
Today, Tang Xinru wore a pink dress and looked quite… charming!
Gu Xi's lips curled up into a smile, but it had a hint of mockery. "Manager Tang, is there a matter?"
Tang Xinru had stood there for quite a while before she walked in. She stood right in front of Gu Xi with a hurt expression. "Gu Xi, I didn't do it on purpose!"
As Gu Xi looked at her best friend, she played with her pen and could only hear the sarcasm in her voice.
Her finger pointed down to a chair. 'Sit down and talk!' She did not like others to look down at her as they talked to her… especially this woman!
Tang Xinru softened her brows and pursed her lips as she sat down. "Gu Xi, can you forgive me and Qin Mo?"
"What are you going to say next?" Gu Xi seriously asked, "Are you going to tell me that you didn't want to betray me and ruin my happiness? And… Qin Mo was the one who liked you and seduced you?"
Tang Xinru's face looked shocked. As she stared at Gu Xi's expressionless look, she seemed as though she had suffered a great blow. "Gu Xi, how could you say that!"
Gu Xi heartlessly said, "Please call me Manager Gu. Also… Tang Xinru, so what if I forgave you? Are you going to continue to cheat with Qin Mo again after I get married to him? Or prove to the world once again that Qin Mo liked your body on my wedding day?"
"Manager… Gu!" Tang Xinru's eyes were brimming with tears. "Gu Xi… I'm sorry… I'm sorry. I didn't want to break both of you up on purpose… I just couldn't control my love for him!"
Gu Xi stared at her tear-streaked face, yet she felt like she was a stranger.
Her lips curled slightly up. "Miss Tang, I have a very good suggestion for you…"
She had never addressed Tang Xinru that way before and at that moment, Tang Xinru was rather shocked. "What…"
Gu Xi looked into her eyes. "I will be very thankful to you if you continue to love him!"
Tang Xinru could not believe her ears. "Both of you…"
"Weren't you waiting for such a day when you climbed on Qin Mo's bed?" Gu Xi smirked with a sarcasm laced in her words. "Also, I have another matter to notify Miss Tang. From now onwards, you are fired!"
Tang Xinru's face paled, and she stood up almost immediately. "Gu Xi… you can't do this!"
"Why can't I…" Gu Xi stared straight into her eyes as she said it syllable by syllable. "Get out now!"
Her tone was laced with the dignity and intolerance of a superior.
At that moment, the hatred Tang Xinru had for Gu Xi leveled up.
Gu Xi was Heaven's favorite and had both beauty and a good family background…
Even after suffering such an unbearable matter, she could still use her authority to dismiss this disgraceful woman.
Yes! This was how she was, Gu Xi!
Tang Xinru retracted her weak expression and looked at Gu Xi. She flashed her a strange smile. "Gu Xi, then I will work at Qin Mo's company!"
"Is that so? Then, I will congratulate you… Oh yes, don't forget to send me your wedding invitation card when both of you are to get married," Gu Xi coldly said. She leaned against the chair.
Tang Xinru felt a surge of embarrassment gushing through her. Qin Mo did not even like her and even if he was willing, Qin Song would never agree.
When she left, her legs were a little shaky.
On the other hand, Lin Yun stood at the entrance with a cup of coffee in her hands. She looked a little uneasy.
In front of Tang Xinru, Gu Xi told Lin Yun, "Go and tell the human resource department that Manager Tang has resigned and let them look for a new public relations manager."
Lin Yun reverted to her normal self and placed the coffee on Gu Xi's office table. She nodded her head. "Yes!"
Only after everything reverted to normal did Gu Xi look at her documents. And yet, she was still staring into space.
Did she win against Tang Xinru? No, she faced a crushing defeat!
Her work efficiency that day was obviously poor, but she had no plans to change it because she wanted to let herself relax.
She stood before the French window and stared into space. Lin Yun entered with soft footsteps. "Manager Gu, there are two dinner parties tonight, are you still going?"
"If it's not important, then push it back." Gu Xi turned her head back and said, "All of you can knock off now!"
Before Lin Yun left, she held the door and suddenly said, "Manager Gu, have a good weekend!"
Gu Xi looked at her trusted secretary and after a long while, she pulled a faint smile. "I will."
She packed her things up and took the private lift down from the twenty-second floor. When she reached the lobby, Gu Xi tensed up the moment she saw that person.
She was already tired. She had just finished dealing with Tang Xinru in the afternoon, and now, Qin Mo came to question her?
Since it was also time for others to knock off from work, there were people already gossiping around in the periphery…
Gu Xi was never one to back down, thus she walked towards the entrance without stopping.
Qin Mo chased after her and wanted to pull her back when Gu Xin suddenly tilted her head to glance at him. He then quickly retracted his hand. "Gu Xi…"
"Are you here to question me? Yes, I have fired your darling!" Gu Xi stood up straight and crossed her arms. She was calmly looking at him.
Qin Mo froze momentarily.
Tang Xinru called him. She said that Gu Xi was not in a good mood and suggested reconciling with her by fetching her after work.
Gu Xi looked at his expression and scoffed…
At that moment, Tang Xinru walked closer to them carrying a box on her arms… she also looked like she went through such a tragedy.
If Gu Xi still did not understand what was happening at that moment, she must really be too dumb!
She looked at Qin Mo. "Just like what you are seeing today. Yes, I fired her!"
Qin Mo moved his lips and seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he kept quiet and changed his words. "Gu Xi, I have something to tell you…"
"Keep your words for later when you sleep with Miss Tang." Gu Xi stared coldly at him. "Qin Mo and Miss Tang, please do not appear in my face again because I am still disgusted with both of you."
