Chapter 185 Decisive Action
After finishing the current affairs, Gao Jinsong walked up to Gao Xilin, nodded slightly at her, and said in a low voice: "Fourth Miss, are you planning to fire Shen Yan?"
But Gao Xilin wanted far more than just a punishment of "dismissal".
What she really wanted to do was not only to vent her anger, but more importantly, to make Chen Yan leave the manor immediately. She didn't want to keep her here for a moment longer.
"That's right," she said coldly, "just find an excuse, make things decent, and send her away."
After listening to this, Gao Jinsong thought for a moment, then nodded and responded: "Chen Yan is currently on leave. When she returns to work, we will handle it according to the relevant rules and regulations of the company and the manor."
However, Gao Xilin was obviously not satisfied with this answer.
Her expression suddenly became even colder, and her tone lowered a few degrees, but with an unquestionable attitude: "I want her out immediately. As for the compensation, send her away at N+1."
Faced with the Fourth Young Lady's tough attitude, Gao Jinsong sighed, his tone remaining steady: "We will take your opinions into consideration and handle this matter strictly in accordance with the relevant regulations and procedures within the manor."
After a brief pause, Gao Jinsong added, "I'm here for an important matter, and I need to discuss it with you in person."
Gao Xilin frowned and asked with a slightly doubtful tone, "What's the important thing?"
Gao Jinsong stood aside, his face serious, and said slowly, "Madam, it was my cousin who had a problem in the kindergarten. He was bumped into and got a bump on his forehead."
"What!"
Gao Xilin suddenly stood up from her chair, her face full of panic, "My son is injured?"
Gao Jinsong nodded and continued calmly, "The principal of the kindergarten just called to inform us that our cousin was bullied at school and was very emotional and kept crying."
Hearing this, Gao Xilin could no longer sit still. She asked in a reproachful tone, "Why did you just tell me now? How is my son now? Is he seriously injured?"
Gao Jinsong responded calmly, "Madam, I just received the news as well. I immediately sent staff and doctors to the kindergarten to deal with it. I just finished and came to tell you."
He then added, "The specific extent of the injury is still unknown, but the young master has been crying non-stop, so he must be seriously injured."
Hearing this, Gao Xilin immediately stood up, quickly packed her belongings, and said firmly, "Hurry up and arrange a driver. I need to go to the kindergarten right away! There's no time to lose!"
As she spoke, she walked forward, anger and worry intertwined. "Let me see who is so bold as to bully my son! I will never let him go, and he will pay the price!"
Before she hurried away, she didn't even glance at Shen Yan.
Because in her heart, no one and nothing is more important than her son.
As soon as Gao Xilin left, her trusted assistant suddenly lost her support and her voice in the room.
At this time, the atmosphere in the room changed, and Gao Jinsong's status naturally rose, becoming the person with the most say.
Afterwards, Chen Yan was also taken away from the yard where Gao Xilin lived by people arranged by Gao Jinsong.
But her condition still looked extremely miserable.
She sat in a wheelchair, looking tired and fragile.
Downstairs, Song Weiwei was stopped by Gao's staff and was kept outside the lobby on the first floor, unable to get close to the rooms upstairs.
When she saw Shen Yan being pushed down the stairs in a mess from a distance, she couldn't help but clench her fists, with suppressed anger in her eyes, but because of her identity and situation, she didn't dare to say a word.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Gao Family Courtyard in front of her, Shen Yan slowly spoke to Gao Jinsong, "Thank you, Mr. Gao, for helping me out just now. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be even more embarrassed today."
Her tone was calm and her eyes were firm, and there seemed to be something more in her eyes, as if she had figured out something important.
After what happened just now, Shen Yan finally made up her mind: she must leave this place.
As for when she can actually leave the manor, it is still impossible to predict, but she is determined to take this step.
Since making this decision, she no longer seemed to have any illusions about anyone in the manor.
No matter if it was the high and mighty master or the powerful steward, in her heart, they were just “people”.
She no longer viewed these people in terms of status, position or power.
In fact, there is no distinction between high and low among people.
The rest depends on each person's own ability and efforts.
She is also qualified to compete with the people of the manor owner's family.
These words echoed in her heart, as if they were a rebuttal to her past weakness.
She had always been regarded by the people in the manor as a small character with no background who dared not argue, but today, facing Gao Xilin's aggressiveness, she did not back down and was even able to remain calm, which was impossible before.
The senior executive seemed to notice that something was different about Shen Yan.
His eyes stayed on her for a moment, as if he was examining her, or as if he was recalling something.
He remembered that the last time he saw Shen Yan, she stood in front of him, not even daring to raise her head, at a loss, her voice trembling.
But today, although her expression was calm, she did not deliberately dodge, her eyes became firm, and she even revealed an aura that should not be underestimated.
In the past, whenever she saw herself, she was always extremely nervous and couldn't even stand steadily.
Gao Jinsong has experienced this personally.
Whenever he walked past Shen Yan, she would subconsciously take a step back, as if she was afraid of being noticed and afraid of accidentally offending someone.
At that time, she was like a cat that didn't dare to cry even when its tail was stepped on, and she had no power to resist.
I'm much calmer now.
He narrowed his eyes, feeling a little doubtful, but he didn't dare to ask directly.
He knew that Shen Yan's background was not simple, but she always kept a low profile and almost never argued with others.
Today's actions made him realize that perhaps her change was not just emotional growth, but more like a complete transformation.
Gao Jinsong said calmly: "No need to thank me."
He spoke slowly, as if afraid she would misunderstand him. "I did this because Gao Moli asked me to."
He paused and continued, "If you want to thank someone, go thank Assistant Gao."
Gao Moli?
When this name came out of his mouth, Shen Yan was stunned for a moment.
She was the manor's assistant, a shrewd, capable and decisive woman.
She usually has no close relationship with the senior executive, and is even a little distant from him. Why should she help her?
She could see that Gao Jinsong was actually helping her divert her attention.
His approach was obvious, which was to use another matter to divert Gao Xilin's attention.
He mentioned Gao Moli's name in public in order to divert everyone's attention from Shen Yan and direct the focus in a new direction.
