Yuan Li seed guilty while she spoke, but Ye ngyan was determinedly supportive.
However, Ye ngyan could have never imagined in her wildest dreams.
That Yuan Li had already betrayed her trust.
Gu Yuanzhou did not say much more, directly gesturing to the security guard who nodded and walked out, soon returning with two uniford officers.
Upon seeing these officers, Yuan Li imdiately panicked.
“President Gu, what is the aning of this?”
“I gave you a chance earlier. If you chose not to admit your deeds, let the law deal with you. Bribery is a cri, and the punishnt is up to the court to decide.”
Hearing Gu Yuanzhou’s words, Yuan Li knew he ant business; she no longer dared to argue and imdiately crumpled.
“President Gu, I was wrong. Please grant another chance; I will confess everything.”
Yuan Li’s attitude changed drastically, pleading with Gu Yuanzhou, but he dismissed her impatiently.
One of the officers imdiately handcuffed Yu Li and took her away.
Ye ngyan, having never witnessed such a situation before, was stunned.
It took her a while to regain her composure.
Only after everyone had left, she approached Gu Yuanzhou.
“President Gu, could soone be trying to fra her? I can’t believe she would do such a thing.”
Seeing Ye ngyan’s persistence, Gu Yuanzhou showed her the video clip of Yuan Li in her dirty transaction with the supplier.
After seeing the video, Ye ngyan was shocked. She couldn’t defend Yuan Li anymore and imdiately tried to distance herself from the scandal.
“Ah, I never imagined she was capable of such a thing. I judged her incorrectly. I apologize President Gu, I thought she was a decent person.”
As for Ye ngyan’s explanation, in my opinion, seed rather insincere.
A case of too little too late.
However, Gu Yuanzhou decided to believe her.
“It’s alright, it’s best to avoid relatives like her in the future.”
“President Gu, are you upset with ?”
At this point, I couldn’t help but chi in,
“The company has already suffered a large loss. If this continues, the company will face serious financial losses.”
“Song Xiaoyun, are you intentionally acting against ? I had good intentions, nobody could have anticipated this.”
I chuckled lightly,
“What good would acting against you do?”
“All you want is for President Gu to punish , right? Fine, co at . I’m willing to accept any punishnt; I won’t run away.”
I ignored her, instead turned to Gu Yuanzhou,
“President Gu, this situation indeed her responsibility. I suggest we make her responsible for recovering the losses! Let her rectify her own mistakes.”
Listeing to my suggestion, Gu Yuanzhou turned to Ye ngyan,
“If you can recover the losses, then this matter will no longer be related to you.”
“I…”
Despite her initial hesitation, Ye ngyan eventually put her pride aside, agreeing on the spot,
“Deal, I’ll take responsibility for recovering the losses!”
“Well done, Miss Ye, I’ve recorded your words. I hope you live up to them.”
I took out my phone and waved the recorded conversation in front of her.
During my interaction with Ye ngyan, Gu Yuanzhou studied attentively all the while.
When Ye ngyan left, Gu Yuanzhou got up and walked to my side.
“President Gu, did I do sothing wrong?”
“Why aren’t you eager to punish her?”
“Can President Gu bear to do so?”
“If you hadn’t made any suggestion, how would you know that I couldn’t bear to do so?”
As Gu Yuanzhou said this, he began gradually closing the distance between us.
Without thinking, I took a step back, at the sa ti continuing to explain,
“Punishing her is aningless since she isn’t an employee of the company. As a shareholder of Zhenyi Company, I am more interested in recovering the company’s losses.”
My last words ca out without thinking and seed to shock Gu Yuanzhou.
He stepped forward, pushing back against the wall.
“What did you just say? Repeat that!”
I realized I had misspoken.
Since Zhenyi Company was sothing we founded together, I naturally wanted to protect it as I would my own child.
Having let my guard down, I had inadvertently let that slip. Now faced with Gu Yuanzhou’s questioning, I quickly reacted,
“President Gu, what I ant is, if I were to look at this situation as a shareholder, I would certainly want to recover all the losses…”
“You certainly think on your feet!”
He looked at intensely, then finally pulled back his hand.
Then, he handed a stack of docunts.
“What is this?”
“You’ve expressed a desire to be part of the managent team, right? These are your appointnt docunts as the Deputy General Manager!”
I took the docunts and saw that it indeed was my appointnt as the Deputy General Manager.
Back in the day, when Zhenyi Company was on a steady upward trajectory, I had desired to occupy this position.
But then I got pregnant!
My love for Gu Yuanzhou led to give up my ambition.
I chose instead to focus on family, giving birth and raising our child…
Receiving this appointnt letter now, my emotions were mixed.
This was a position I ca to hold after figuratively dying once.
“Do you like it?”
Gu Yuanzhou’s voice echoed near my ear.
Only then did I realize, we were extrely close, our breaths mingling.
His warm breath seed to encase my neck.
Perhaps it was due to the many years spent with this man, I had beco accustod to his intimacy.
Every ti he ca close, my natural instinct was to embrace him.
Our intimate married life had dissolved all boundaries between us.
Although there was resentnt in my heart towards him, the sense of intimacy was sothing I seldom did take notice of.
Ordinarily, I could only remind myself to maintain an appropriate distance with him, the kind any normal man and woman would keep.
“I don’t care whether I like it or not… I only want to contribute as best I can in improving Zhenyi.”
Gu Yuanzhou nodded, and pulled back his chair to sit.
“I can give you everything you want, but can you give what I want?”
“What does President Gu want?”
“You don’t understand?”
His words left speechless.
Doesn’t he want Ye ngyan? He already has her, so what else could he possibly desire?
“I don’t understand!”
“Then think about it, and tell once you’ve figured it out.”
His words settled in the silence, leaving their implicit aning hanging in the air.
“Alright!”
I didn’t ponder much over Gu Yuanzhou’s words.
With my appointnt letter in hand, stamped and signed by him, I was excited to get to work.
First, I reinstated the forr senior accountant.
Then, I started inspecting the new managent team recently appointed in the company, watching out for any shady activities. If I found any, they would be sacked on the spot.
I had to formulate so new strategies and plans as well.
As my workday ended, Gu Yuanzhou gave a call.
“et at the ngle Restaurant at nine tonight. There’s a birthday celebration, and your presence is required!”
I was busy at the mont and didn’t pay much attention, but I agreed nonetheless.
What I hadn’t expected was that this birthday celebration would lead to my complete and utter downfall.
