Gu Jinxiu cursed her, "You damned ugly freak, let go right now! Or else, I'll have my bodyguards take revenge on you!"
An Junxi made a few exaggerated cries of "oh no, oh no," and said, "My dear Mr. Gu, if you keep babbling nonsense, I'll leave. You can wait for soone else to rescue you. They'd probably be thrilled to see you like this!"
Gu Jinxiu pressed his lips tightly together, still refusing to apologize.
Fine, he's got so backbone.
An Junxi packed up her things, looking as though she was about to leave.
Gu Jinxiu finally started to panic, "Aren't you worried I'll take revenge? I'm the young master of the Gu Family!"
This little brat, so young and already using his status to oppress people. If it weren't the wrong ti, she'd really like to teach him a lesson on behalf of his father.
An Junxi finished packing her stuff, threw her used cup into the trash can, and walked towards the door.
Behind her ca a muffled voice, "I'm sorry."
An Junxi turned back. The little master had his head down, not looking at her, his face flushed red. Clearly, submitting to An Junxi's force felt like a great humiliation to him.
An Junxi held back her laughter and asked earnestly, "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
The little master clenched his tiny fists and said loudly, "I'm sorry!"
Only then was An Junxi satisfied. She went back and untied Gu Jinxiu. Gu Jinxiu moved his hands and feet a bit, and An Junxi imdiately warned him, "Don't even think about hitting . You know how strong I am."
Gu Jinxiu snorted at her with his nose and asked, "What's your na?"
This kid, did he really plan on taking revenge?
An Junxi didn't think much of it, "I wouldn't change my na just because of you. It's An Junxi."
She didn't do anything wrong. As the president of a large corporation, Gu Yikun wouldn't be that protective, would he? Besides, if she had to swallow her pride just because the opponent was wealthy and powerful, that wasn't her principle.
After leaving Blue Cup Art Center, An Junxi went to confess to her senior, "Boss, I didn't complete the task. Please give another week!"
Gong Xiaoyu, looking at the contract covered in paint, felt a dull ache in her temples. She knew An Junxi wouldn't ss up so badly without reason, so she asked, "What exactly happened?"
An Junxi recounted the entire process with tears and snot, finally summarizing, "That Mr. Gu is truly a devil reincarnate. None of the teachers at the art center can handle him. I'm so unlucky!"
Gong Xiaoyu focused on the main point, "You said you tied him up and made him apologize?"
An Junxi nodded.
Gong Xiaoyu leaned back in her chair in despair, "My dear junior, the Gu Family is really not soone we can afford to offend!"
An Junxi panicked, "Senior, I just made him apologize. That's fair, isn't it? I didn't even hit him!"
Gong Xiaoyu said helplessly, "True, but he is the young master of the Gu Family. This..."
An Junxi looked at Gong Xiaoyu with unfamiliarity, "Senior, I rember when your paper didn't get an A, you stood up to the professor during the lecture. It was so impressive! You taught that as long as you're right, you should fight for your rights no matter who the opponent is. Isn't that right?"
Gong Xiaoyu was montarily speechless.
If it weren't for An Junxi's reminder, she would have forgotten that fearless version of herself from back then.
Ever since she stepped into society, she had experienced too much and beca increasingly distant from her old self.
Gong Xiaoyu looked at An Junxi, feeling a bit envious. She was just like her younger self.
Fine, if the Gu Family really ca for trouble, she would face it head-on.
Gong Xiaoyu sighed, "Junior, you've been in charge of the marketing departnt for so long. Haven't you understood the aning of power yet?"
How could An Junxi not understand? Their years of hard work could completely disappear with just one word from Gu Yikun.
"Senior, I'm really sorry for the trouble."
Gong Xiaoyu couldn't bear to see her feel guilty, so she comforted her, "It's fine, it's not your fault. Like you said, if the Gu Family wants to pursue this, it's because they're petty. We'll deal with it as it cos."
An Junxi felt a bit relieved, "Speaking of which, what kind of person is Gu Yikun?"
Gong Xiaoyu shook her head, "Not sure, his news is too scarce. But from the current dia reports, he doesn't seem easy to get along with."
An Junxi felt a bit anxious but quickly reassured herself, "A big CEO is busy with many things; he shouldn't notice such a trivial matter."
Gong Xiaoyu could only comfort herself the sa way.
An Junxi started preparing the plan for the next negotiation with Blue Cup.
She spent several days completing the plan. Just as she was considering the best ti to visit, she received a court summons.
Yes, a court summons, in the na of the Gu Group.
The entire Si Yuan exploded. Everyone was in panic, "Oh my gosh, did Si Yuan Education really get sued by the Gu Group?"
"What are our chances of winning? This is like a fight between a mosquito and a whale!"
An Junxi first cald herself. She stood up to clear the air, "Why are you panicking? The Gu Group is only targeting ! Don't worry, if there's any problem, I'll take responsibility and won't involve you all."
Everyone fell silent for a mont, then gathered around to ask for details. An Junxi found it hard to cope, so Gong Xiaoyu ca to her rescue, "This is Jun Xi's private matter. As long as it doesn't affect work, everyone should focus on their own tasks instead of gossiping. Jun Xi, co into my office."
An Junxi slipped into her senior's office. Once the door closed, she started jumping in panic, "What do I do, Senior? I really got sued by the Gu Group! Suing for child abuse? What's going on? I'm a good citizen who wouldn't even litter, and now I'm getting a court summons, it's a stain on my life! If my parents find out, they'd be scared to death... Stop! What am I even saying?"
Gong Xiaoyu, still calr, took the summons and read it, "The court requires you to attend a hearing next Friday. They're accusing you of child abuse. Think back, did you leave any evidence that the other lawyer could use against you?"
An Junxi carefully recalled, then confidently said, "No, I even checked for surveillance caras before tying up the young master, and I was very careful with the force. There shouldn't be any marks."
Gong Xiaoyu pondered, "The initiative is now with the Gu Group. We can only wait for next Friday to et their lawyer in court and see if we can settle out of court... Honestly, if the Gu Group wanted to deal with you, they wouldn't need to go through the hassle of legal procedures. I find it a bit puzzling."
