Chapter 197: Chapter 198: Daji in the Present World

Gu Qichen had already noticed Xia Yangyang.

He glanced at the smashed teacup on the floor and the reports stained with coffee scattered everywhere, and sternly asked, “What happened?”

Lin Yuanyuan, playing the victim, complained first, “Mr. President, I was about to bring these charts to your office for review when she deliberately bumped into me. I know she is your wife, but she is obliged to apologize to me for this. This is a day’s hard work for me.”

Xia Yangyang was extremely pissed off.

Gu Qichen can’t possibly believe her nonsense, could he?

Xia Yangyang’s face grew red as she looked at Gu Qichen.

But Gu Qichen remained calm and said to Lin Yuanyuan, “You said she intentionally bumped into you. Why would she do that?”

Lin Yuanyuan hesitated before responding, “Maybe she’s jealous, perhaps she misunderstood the relationship between you and me…”

Everyone gasped at her audacity.

Lin Yuanyuan really dares to say anything.

She’s trying to instigate a conflict between Gu Qichen and Xia Yangyang.

Even if there’s nothing going on, saying such things can easily lead to misunderstandings.

Gu Qichen’s voice remained cold and indifferent, “So you mean to say, Yangyang misunderstood that there’s something going on between you and me and therefore was upset and intentionally bumped into you, is that what you’re saying?”

Gu Qichen’s gaze remained on Lin Yuanyuan.

Lin Yuanyuan’s cheeks flushed.

She had never been scrutinized this way by him since she started working at the company.

This sensation…it was beguiling.

Lin Yuanyuan confirmed, “I believe that’s how it happened.”

Will he now understand my feelings by my saying this?

The truth is, she had admired this man for a long time and believed she was better than Xia Yangyang in all aspects.

Even though the Xia Family is rich and prestigious, it couldn’t compare to the Lin Family.

She didn’t understand why Gu Qichen would choose Xia Yangyang when he could choose her, especially since they were both interns at Shengyuan.

Gu Qichen raised an eyebrow.

He casually replied, “Since your presence here can easily lead to misunderstandings with my wife, you can resign yourself to the HR department tomorrow.”

Everyone gasped in shock.

Xia Yangyang stared in surprise.

When Gu Qichen turned to Xia Yangyang, he obviously softened his gaze.

Gu Qichen said, “If you were to come see me, you should have told me in advance. I would have let someone pick you up. Then you would be spared this troublesome experience.”

The audience was in disbelief.

He could not possibly be more protective of his wife.

Jealousy and envy were visibly etched on everyone’s faces.

Lin Yuanyuan, however, was in disbelief and stuttered in response, “Mr. President, what did you say? You want me to resign?”

Gu Qichen, having lost patience with her, replied coldly, “I don’t like to repeat myself.”

Then he led Xia Yangyang away to his office.

Lin Yuanyuan’s body shook with rage, and she slumped into a nearby seat, her fingers whitening from her tight grip.

Everyone was astonished.

The president had just indiscriminately fired someone who displeased Xia Yangyang. This was a power play unlike any other.

Even for a man as astute as the president, doing so seemed hasty without considering the consequences.

Especially given Lin Yuanyuan’s background, some face should be given to the Lin Family.

But the president showed no interest in investigating the truth of the situation.

It seemed to him that if you block my wife’s path, if you upset my wife, you deserve punishment!

Heaven help us, Xia Yangyang is a modern day femme fatale!
