Chapter 82 is her overacting

  "Your face is worthless now, do you understand?" Jiang Xiaoxun said, then picked up a bottle of wine and walked over to a nearby card table to chat with others.

  Xiao Qian was still sitting alone on this side of the card table, and the people next to him were nervous.

  But then Xiao Qian sat there, staring in Jiang Xiaoxuan's direction for a long time before finally getting up and leaving alone.

  Just out of the bar, Zhang Yali called and said that the company had received a court summons, which was just sent over, saying that Jiang Xiaoxun has sued Qi.

  "Director Xiao, the company's high-level executives have organized a meeting. Let me ask if Director Xiao has time to come back and attend..."

  Xiao Qian gritted his teeth, these careless...

  "Who allowed them to hold a meeting? Whose company is this? They have nothing better to do than hold meetings. Wait, I'll go back and say something." Xiao Qian said irritably.

  He hung up the phone, got in the car and drove back to the company.

  Entered the company and took the executive elevator directly past the high-level executives who were discussing a meeting, to Gu Y's office floor.

  "Director Xiao..." The secretaries outside Gu Yans office, who were working, saw Xiao Qianfeng rushing in and quickly got up to greet him.

  Xiao Qian casually waved his hand and rushed directly into Gu Yu's office.

  Gu Yu was indeed in the office, and when she saw Xiao Qian come in, she merely raised her eyes from behind the files and said lightly, "What's up?"

  Xiao Qian directly asked, "How is it? Is there any progress?"

  Gu Yu shook her head, "Except for Gu Jun Rong's, no one else has any issues."

  "What about the assistants of the management team? They also have a lot of contact with the management team, so they should be able to access the security system easily." Xiao Qian asked quickly.

  She looked at him, "I've checked, whether it's from his background or current financial situation, living situation, there isn't a clear motive. It's possible to continue investigating further, but for now, this mole might be hard to find in a short amount of time, we need to investigate slowly, after all, too many people are involved."

  Xiao Qian took a deep breath and cursed, "Who was it that messed with the security system in the first place? Why didn't they resolve these problems earlier?"

  She gazed at him indifferently, "You're the one who did this."

  “……”

  Xiao Qian's body slid down, and he sat on the chair, bowing his head in thought, closing his eyes, feeling annoyed, and then looked up at Gu Yai, "Gu Yai, if you can't find out, I'll have to listen to Jiang Xiaoxun's threats. Don't blame me for not giving you face later. I gave you the opportunity, it's you who didn't cherish it."

  Gu Yan's eyes fixed on something, and her hands stopped flipping through the documents.

  Looking at Xiao Qian, she paused for a moment, then slowly smiled and said, "I didn't say earlier that if you want to go, just go. Since this method is the simplest, let's do it according to Jiang Xiaoxuan's request. I didn't say that if you dare to kiss me, I'll die. Investigating this is my duty. If I made you misunderstand and think I'm still being stubborn, trying to solve this matter with other methods, then I apologize. It's not like that. You go ahead and do it your way."

  The more Xiao Qian heard Gu Yu say this, the more he felt a burning fire in his heart that had been suppressed for so long slowly rising up.

  "This isn't you throwing a tantrum, what's with the tone? I said it wasn't that I didn't give you a chance, I did give you a chance, but it didn't work out, so there's nothing to be done..."

  "What's wrong, do I have to happily tell you to go and make a show with someone else, go and pretend to be a couple with another woman? Great, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. Do I have to do it like this?" Gu Yu also raised his head and said sternly.

  "When did I say let you be happy, just don't be so weird, okay?"

  "The point is, I think this is normal. You're about to go and cooperate with others on a hype, I need to consider how to explain it to my family, I need to consider how to face the upcoming rumors, so I'm feeling down, isn't that okay?"

  "Gu Yan!" Xiao Qian slammed his hand on the table, "Why don't you just go to jail and be done with it."

  Gu Yan's desk shook, Gu Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the desktop, standing behind the desk. "Alright, I got myself into this mess, I'll get myself out of it. I don't need you to sacrifice for me, nor do I need you to sit on a high pedestal, thinking that by cooperating with others in a publicity stunt, you've become my benefactor..."

  In fact, isn't this what she hated the most?

  She doesn't need him to be superior.

  He has been in high school for six years already, she doesn't need him to make such a sacrificial gesture anymore.

  She... doesn't need him to sacrifice for her!

  What's more, he was reluctant and only did it out of politeness.

  Xiao Qian looked at Gu Yan's hard and cold face, gritted his teeth, he could even feel the blue veins throbbing, felt his head buzzing, had an urge to smash something.

  Before losing control of his emotions, he directly said to Gu Yan, "Suit yourself, if you want to go to jail then go ahead."

  Gu Yan looked at the person leaving, and then sat down again.

  Yes, she's too sensitive.

  She doesn't know what's heavy and what's light.

  She has many things to deal with as a woman.

  Since he chose to sacrifice himself to help her, it means that in his heart, she still has some weight, right? She should be grateful and rush into his arms to thank him.

  Yes, it should be like this normally, she is abnormal, so she doesn't want...

  At the door, Zhang Yali came in to find Xiao Qian, but found that Xiao Qian was no longer there.

  Gu Yu was still sitting inside, her face pale white, but there was no painful expression on her face. She simply raised her head slightly and said, "Xiao Zong has left."

  Zhang Yali nodded hastily and walked over, hesitating for a moment before saying, "General Gu... actually, General Xiao didn't mean it that way. He's just not good at expressing himself to you, and maybe after being together for so long, there are some things he's embarrassed to say out loud. This morning... General Xiao personally went to find Jiang Xiaoxuan because you weren't willing to, and General Xiao discussed it with him, saying he didn't want to go through the motions, that he'd rather go to the Jiang family gate and apologize sincerely, but... Jiang Xiaoxuan didn't agree and even humiliated General Xiao for a while."

  Gu Yu looked at Zhang Ya Li, her pale lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.

  She smiled and said, "It's nothing... isn't this a common occurrence for us? If you have something going on, go find Xiao Zong, I still need to continue looking for materials."

  Zhang Yali nodded and walked out.

  Gu Yu sat there, stroking her hair, propping up her head with one hand, and thought for a long time.

  She picked up her mobile phone and dialed Lin Wan's number.

  "Stinky girl...... how many days has it been and you've only just remembered your old mother?" Lin Wan said over the phone.

  "Been busy these past few days... got time? I want a drink."

  "You're still drinking... aren't you afraid your husband will skin you alive?"

  "He must have been too busy lately."

  After discussing with Lin Wan, they decided to go to a bar together for a drink. Gu Yan picked up her bag and walked out in big strides.

  Xiao Qian rushed out of Gu Yan's office and quickly arrived outside, in the corridor. Zhang Yali walked up hastily, "The whole company knows that Director Xiao is back, so about the meeting..."

  "Open, open, isn't it just an opening? Open." Xiao Qian was getting angry, Zhang Yali could clearly feel it, but didn't dare to retort. She nodded and notified all the management level personnel to go to the top floor management meeting room.

  Xiao Qian arrived at the conference room door and heard people inside discussing heatedly.

  The sound was very loud, and before he even entered, Xiao Qian already felt a headache.

  After pushing open the door and entering, it was as if nothing had happened at all. Everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Qian.

  "Director Xiao, you've finally arrived. How are we going to deal with this? Jiang Xiaoxun withdrawing his investment is one thing, but now he's also suing us - the losses will be huge."

  "That's quite a sum."

  "If it goes to court, we'll definitely need to push out a representative, can't let this thing ruin the reputation of all of us, and ruin Xiao's venture capital firm, right? Investment companies with good reputations are already scarce, and in all these years, we've never had any scandals, but now..."

  "Yes, Director Xiao, for the sake of the overall situation, we have to make some sacrifices."

  Xiao Qian sat in the innermost position, watching as everyone spoke one after another. His eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly, until finally, it seemed that everyone had discovered that he hadn't responded for half a day, and they all lifted their heads to look towards Xiao Qian's position.

  Xiao Qian's sharp eyes scanned each person present, his gloomy voice saying, "How many of you nominated Gu Yu?"

  Everyone present raised their hands.

  There were some who hesitated, but seeing everyone else lifting it up, they also lifted it up together.

  Unanimously passed...

  It's rare for this conference room to have such a concerted effort.
