When Qin Zhiâai returned to the office, the secretaries crowded around her immediately and started gossiping.
âXiaoâai, what happened in Master Guâs office?â
âYeah, whereâd you go with the royal family?â
Qin Zhiâai would never reveal anything about Liang Doukouâs or Gu Yushengâs private affairs. During the onslaught of questions, she deliberated over her words before replying, âIâm not sure about the specifics but, after Master Gu returned, Chauffeur Wang and I had other matters to deal with.â
âOh, we seeâ¦â
Surprisingly, the group believed her.
Moments later, another secretary said, âThatâs the first time in my life to be terrified by a manâs rage. I didnât see it up close, but through the doorway, and I was scared out of my wits.â
âYeah, I know, right? I was too scared to let out a breath. I didnât want to be on the receiving end of any of that.â
âIn the heat of it, Master Zhang call me to his office, and when I passed Master Guâs office he was yelling that this was his company and heâll do as he pleases and that heâd appoint an intern as a general manager if he wanted to!â
When Qin Zhiâai heard âinternâ she knew this referred to her, even if the others thought he was just using an extreme example while arguing.
The words that Gu Yusheng had said before she left came back to her: âToday, I am telling you that I will protect her now and forever. No one can fire her without my permission!â
So, after I left, did he really stand up to Old Master Gu and Liang Doukou for me?
Before her thoughts settled, Qin Zhiâaiâs heard another secretary say, âWell, Master Guâs temper may have been terrifying, but heâs still handsome! Especially the way he carried himself when he called for security to come throw Liang Doukou out of the office. That was too hot to handle!â
Throw Liang Doukou out of the office?
Qin Zhiâai felt a jolt, and her heart trembled.
âHeâs beyond handsome!â Because business hours were coming to a close and management had left for the day, the gossip was getting louder.
Master Zhangâs secretary took on a domineering pose and began to mimic Gu Yusheng. âLet me make this clear. From now on, whoever lets Liang Doukou into the office will be fired!â
âGYAAAAA, stop it! My hormones canât take it!â
âI wouldâve never imagined that there would be a day when Iâd get to see the glamourous superstar so flustered!â
âAnd to think weâd thought Master Gu was completely uninterested in every woman heâd ever met because he was married to the beautiful Miss Celebrity. Wow, we sure were wrong.â
âOld Master Gu was furious. He grabbed that porcelain vase and slammed it toward Master Guâs head. If Master Gu hadnât blocked it with his arm, it couldâve cracked his skull!â
Porcelain?
Qin Zhiâai, who had been silently listening to the conversation, turned her head and glanced at the shelf.
