Chapter 596: Got Tricked
"Ugh..." Xiao Chen wanted to comfort her, but didn’t know what to say, scratching his head in frustration.
"I’m fine now." Mu Yiliang calmed down shortly after, smiled, and said, "My eyes just hurt a bit."
Yes, that must be it!
Otherwise, why would she cry for no reason? Just for a man who has nothing to do with her? Ridiculous!
She increasingly felt that her energy didn’t align with Yan Sijue’s, it’s just a pity that news about this man is everywhere, avoiding him really is a big problem!
She thought in annoyance.
With this delay, ten minutes of work time had already passed, and Gu Qingqian walked into the office. Everyone returned to their seats if they had left, turned off their videos if they were on, and immediately the place turned into a bustling scene of busy activity.
Gu Qingqian glanced around, his gaze locking onto a figure, raising his eyebrows in displeasure.
It’s that woman again! Spacing out early in the morning!
"Mu Yiliang!" he called in a low voice.
The woman who was called snapped out of her daze in surprise, her eyes landing on him with confusion: "What is it?"
She dared to ask him back? It’s work time now, and not only was she daydreaming, but she still dared to ask him what is it??
Even if she was a talent, she can’t be allowed to get away with it!
Gu Qingqian gritted his teeth: "Come with me!"
Mu Yiliang, baffled, once again stepped into this man’s office.
Gu Qingqian surveyed the room, pointed to a corner: "In a bit, I’ll have someone set up a desk for you there, move your stuff over, and from now on, you’ll work here!"
"What!" Mu Yiliang was dumbfounded.
"I’ll supervise you personally! See if you still dare to slack off! Daydream, zone out, snack, shop on Taobao, you’re quite accomplished!" The man’s voice was ominous.
"...Is that necessary? I’ve completed all the work you assigned to me!" Mu Yiliang felt this man was simply unreasonable.
"I tripled your salary, you have a lot more work to do!" He sneered, "Having me personally supervise you is your privilege!"
"...Then I don’t want a raise, my original salary is enough for me." She didn’t want to work herself to death for money, besides, she wasn’t lacking. Work, for her, was more about enjoyment. But if it took up all her time, she didn’t want it.
She and Xiaoze, despite having washed their hands of everything, still had quite a bit of savings, enough to buy a house and a car with some balance left over.
"Do you have any ambition at all!" Gu Qingqian glared at her.
The Gu Family wouldn’t want a pretty face only! Plus, placing her in his office was also to give her an opportunity, shouldn’t this woman seize this opportunity to gain his favor? Yet she dared to complain!
Mu Yiliang was so frustrated she could die, ever since she switched department managers, she hadn’t had a single peaceful day. Before Gu Qingqian came, life was so good; their manager was an elderly man, always smiling kindly, even more accommodating than Ms. Zhao...
"...But won’t being in your office disturb your work?" She reluctantly posed a halfway decent argument.
Gu Qingqian raised an eyebrow: "I don’t mind!"
Fine, he’s just a kid in his early twenties... she wouldn’t stoop to his level...
She consoled herself inwardly, tacitly accepting this arrangement. If she couldn’t bear it one day, she’d consider resigning...
Seeing this, Gu Qingqian’s mood improved greatly, and he immediately called someone to bring in a desk. An hour later, all of Mu Yiliang’s belongings were moved over.
Recalling the looks from her colleagues upon learning she was going to share an office with Gu Qingqian, she deeply felt she was being set up...
