Chapter 335 - 308: Establishing the Proper Status
Gu GroupIn the afternoon, after finishing her work, Qiao Yuxian started revising her thesis.
In just one week, the version of her thesis changed from (1.1.1) to (5.6.1).
A little after four, Qiao Yuxian felt her brain go numb, so she got up to make a cup of coffee.
At this exact time, the sunshine in the break room was perfect, so Qiao Yuxian simply sat down to enjoy the sunlight.
The afternoon sun was warm, coming through the glass, comfortably draping over people’s bodies.
Qiao Yuxian sat in the sunlight, watching the green plants basking alongside her.
The irritable and depressed mood was instantly cured.
She touched the leaves of the plant, picked up her coffee, and took a gentle sip.
Just as she was enjoying this pleasant time, she suddenly heard mocking laughter from the direction of the balcony.
The balcony was always a place where people talked.
After all, it’s a public area; it’s normal for people to chat, so Qiao Yuxian didn’t mind initially.
But this laughter was too loud and didn’t sound friendly.
Qiao Yuxian felt that someone might be talking about something.
So she decided to get up and leave.
Just as she stood up, she heard a familiar name being mentioned.
"She even says that Brother Yanjing spoils her. How can someone shamelessly say such things?" Xu Jingjing sneered.
"Mr. Gu doesn’t seem like someone who would spoil others." Someone chimed in.
"She was put on the spot by Jingjing, so she had to say that." Another person added.
"Anyway, Brother Yanjing isn’t here, so she can say whatever she wants." Xu Jingjing continued, "Look at her smug face. She really thinks she’s the lady of the house. What status can she possibly have in the Gu Family?"
"Indeed, compared to Miss Lu, she’s way behind." Someone commented.
"Besides her looks, what else does she have to compare with Miss Lu?" Another person added.
"Lu Mengyi is also very pretty, isn’t she?"o replace the door."
...
Qiao Yuxian’s door-kicking incident quickly spread.
Said she had a bad temper in the morning, and kicked the door in the afternoon.
Everyone was busy, and even though the story spread quickly, not many people had time to chat about it.
It’s just that Qiao Yuxian felt her image might undergo some changes in everyone’s mind.
She didn’t pay much attention; after all, the thing happened, and it was what it was.
She concentrated on revising her thesis until it was time to clock out.
Watching the time change from 29 to 30 on the computer, she quickly turned it off, ready to leave work.
But just after shutting down her computer, she heard people standing up around her.
People standing up at quitting time was normal.
But it was unusual for everyone to be so quiet after standing up.
Curious, she looked up.
Then she saw a familiar figure walking towards her.
Qiao Yuxian’s expression turned blank.
Why did Gu Yanjing come to work here?
Did her door-kicking episode even alarm the upper management?
She looked blankly at Gu Yanjing approaching.
As soon as Gu Yanjing came over, everyone who saw him stood up.
Xu Jingjing also saw him and stood up with the rest, watching as Gu Yanjing walked step by step to Qiao Yuxian’s side.
Gu Yanjing stood by Qiao Yuxian’s workstation, reached out, and gently touched her bewildered face: "Finished working?"
"Huh?" Qiao Yuxian looked up at him, responding with a small "huh."
Qian Huai heard the commotion in the office and hurriedly ran out.
By the time he reached them, his forehead quickly broke out in sweat.
He wiped his sweat and said: "Mr. Gu, you..."
"Don’t mind me, you should all leave if you’re done." Gu Yanjing said, "I’m here to pick up my wife from work."
Qiao Yuxian’s pupils seemed to expand as she looked at Gu Yanjing.
Everyone around them was watching.
All in a state of bewilderment.
"Ah, ah. Oh." Qian Huai uttered a bunch of filler words.
"By the way, to make her status clear." Gu Yanjing said, looking at Qiao Yuxian.
