Chapter 15: Confrontation
Han's back stiffened and he stood there not daring to move.
Gu Ningwei walked slowly with his hands behind his back, frowning as if he was thinking about something, and did not say a word for a long time.
Han stood there, in a dilemma, waiting silently on the side.
After a while, she saw that Gu Ningwei still didn't speak, and she became a little impatient. She took a deep breath and asked slowly, "Mr. Gu, if there is nothing else, can I go down first? I have other things to do..."
It was already time to get off work, and she had two yoga classes in the evening, so she didn't want to be late.
She is never late.
She has good results with Zhou Hongbin not only because she is beautiful and attractive, otherwise she would not have so many female clients, but mainly because she teaches seriously and never slacks off.
Liu Suping's influence on her education since childhood still exists.
Liu Suping once said that women need real abilities to survive in this world.
Beauty can attract men for a while, but once you get old and lose your looks, men will kick you away.
It is better to rely on yourself than on men.
So she always cherishes every opportunity to make money.
Han looked at Gu Ningwei expectantly: "Mr. Gu, I think..."
"Oh..." Gu Ningwei was about to say something when the phone in his hand rang. He looked at the caller ID, made a "wait a moment" gesture to Han, frowned and started to answer the call.
Han was helpless and could only wait in boredom.
Next to them, Gu Ningli was holding Jiang Jin and whispering to each other at the other end of the reception room, with an intimate attitude.
Han stayed away from them, not wanting to look.
Gu Ningwei's call lasted a surprisingly long time. Most of the time, he listened quietly, occasionally interjecting with a few words, concise and to the point, using only precious words: "Okay," or "Let me verify," or "This is a period of adjustment, there's no need to rush. Let's observe for a while."
Han was bored and lost interest after listening to a few sentences. He would secretly look at the time on his mobile phone screen from time to time.
While Gu Ningwei was on the phone, he glanced at her and saw her impatient and helpless expression clearly.
He pursed his lips slightly, a faint smile appeared on his face, then paused and took the initiative to ask about several other official matters.
Those official matters were obviously more troublesome. The other party reported incessantly, so loudly that even Han could hear a few words. They were all complicated issues related to R&D and investment.
Gu Ningwei listened quietly to what others were saying, but when the other person was about to finish, he asked a question, which sparked the other person's conversation again.
After several attempts, twenty minutes passed, and Han looked at the time and sighed helplessly.
It seems that I can only ask Zhou Hongbin for leave and ask him to find someone else to take over the class temporarily.
After Han Que finished sending the message and Gu Ningwei finished his call, he put away his phone and looked at Han Que quietly.
A navy blue suit jacket and jeans, a white shirt, and light makeup.
The setting sun shone in through the glass window, coating her beautiful face with a layer of gold. Compared to last night, there was a bit more calmness between her eyebrows.
Gu Ningli leaned her soft body against Jiang Jin's, whispering to him with a smile, "My brother wasn't like this before. He wasn't so curious about girls, but when he saw Miss Han, he lost his mind and became completely bewildered. He even kept saying he was going to buy a company for her. Is he serious about this?"
Jiang Jin didn't answer and his face remained expressionless.
Gu Ningli continued, "I think Miss Han is really beautiful. Even a woman like me can't take my eyes off her." She nudged Jiang Jin again, "Jiang Jin, what do you think, is she beautiful?"
Jiang Jin glanced at Han Que and mumbled a few words.
Gu Ningli didn't hear clearly and continued to pester him, acting like a little child and insisting that Jiang Jin give a clear answer.
Jiang Jin's expression was awkward. He moved away from her without leaving any trace, and then he hugged and pulled Gu Ningli to a corner. He tapped her forehead and lowered his voice in a doting tone, "Stop being naughty. This is the company office, not a place for you to play around. Be obedient and don't embarrass me."
Gu Ningli shook him off, snorted a laugh, lowered her head to play with the ends of her hair that had drifted down to her chest, and then looked at Han Que a few more times, with a half-smile on her face, "I was just praising Miss Han for her beauty and hot body. How could I embarrass her? I'm not as petty as you, am I? Miss Han?"
Han Que looked up at her and said with a smile, "Boss Gu, please call me Han Que in the company." She pointed to the work badge hanging on her chest and said, "I'm an employee here, not a lady."
Gu Ningli was shocked and full of disbelief when she heard this.
No one had ever dared to talk back to her like this.
What's more, they are his employees.
She put down the hair in her hand and snorted unhappily: "It's beautiful..."
Han Queyi sneered: "Whether or not one has a soul is none of other people's business."
Gu Ningli was stunned for a while, then turned around and left angrily, her high heels stomping on the carpet making a thumping sound.
Jiang Jin frowned and secretly winked at Han Que, reminding her to be careful.
Han ignored him.
She would not tolerate them. One used her to talk about things, and the other kept calling her a lady. Being rich was one thing, but being arrogant was another.
What's more, what kind of manners are you in when you criticize the appearance and figure of female employees?
She knew that Gu Ningli's attitude towards her came from a natural malice towards women of the same age, and also from a desire to intimidate her. If she was timid, she would be a soft persimmon to be bullied in the future.
Why should she care about her mood and tolerate her non-work-related criticism?
She secretly rolled her eyes and turned around to see Gu Ningwei, who was looking at her with great interest, with an expression full of teasing and anticipation.
Han Que was even angrier. She glared at him and said coldly, "Boss Gu, if there's nothing else, I really have to go downstairs to work. I still have a lot of things to do."
After saying that, he left and almost reached the door of the reception room.
Gu Ningwei suppressed his laughter and stepped forward to stop her. "Han Que, don't be angry. My sister is just like that. She likes to test her boyfriend's loyalty. As long as a woman appears in front of her boyfriend, she will be jealous. It's not just you."
Han looked at him and said with a teasing smile: "Thank you for your kind explanation, Mr. Gu. I'm not angry."
Gu Ningwei pursed his lips and smiled, leaning against the door frame with a lazy look on his face. "I'm not usually a very arrogant person. I like to joke around and lighten the working atmosphere. Look, each of you has your own work to do. As a shareholder, I only contributed money, not effort, so I can only provide some emotional value to the employees."
Han thought for a moment and said seriously, "Mr. Gu is too modest. All we ordinary employees care about is how to do our job well and get our salary on time. We don't have any other emotions."
I do my job and you pay your salary, and we owe each other nothing.
It sounds so high-sounding, but who can afford it if the boss dresses up to entertain his parents?
Who expects their masters to provide them with so-called emotional value when they are treated like cattle and horses? It's simply a joke.
Besides, what's the point of providing emotional value? It just makes you willing to be exploited.
It is said that Japanese cattle farms often play symphonies for Wagyu cattle just to get more delicious meat when slaughtering the cattle.
After Han finished speaking, she looked at Gu Ningwei. She thought, even though he still had a smile on his face, he must be furious in his heart. The employees of the company he bought didn't obey him and were even sharp-tongued.
But she underestimated Gu Ningwei. He wasn't angry, but he was always an expert at passing the buck. He turned to Gu Ningli and said, "Gu Ningli, I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming along to see what was going on. Now you must be worried after seeing what you saw. I'm warning you in advance. 70% of the employees in Li Zhekai's company are women, and the marketing team that Lao Jiang is going to manage is 90% women, all young and beautiful. If you're worried, I'll buy a big vat of vinegar and put it here so you can drink as much as you want every time you come."
Gu Ningli's emotions had been soothed by Jiang Jin just now, and now she wanted to vent her anger on her brother. "Brother, please stop trying to sow discord between Jiang Jin and me. I'm not such a petty woman. Besides, Jiang Jin is not you..."
She snorted, "Forget it, I won't expose your shortcomings in front of your employees."
Gu Ningwei frowned, "Stop spreading rumors about me."
He turned to Han Que and said, "Han Que, don't take it to heart. My sister and Jiang Jin have an incredibly sweet relationship. As long as they're female, my sister will consider them her rival in love. They're each other's first love, after all. They've never seen the world."
Each other's first love?
Han was stunned and looked up at Jiang Jin.
