Chapter 428 I am innocent.
Gu Zhou's condescending gaze was extremely intimidating.
An Zhu's heart skipped a beat.
Stand up hurriedly.
"Mr. Gu... may I ask what instructions you have?"
Gu Zhou's lips curled up in a playful manner: "Please make an appointment for me."
Anzhu was confused: "What do you want to make an appointment for?"
Gu Zhou pursed his lips: "Of course I made an appointment to see your President Ling."
An Zhu complained in his heart: You have done whatever you want so many times, and now you are being polite.
Although I don't understand, I respect it.
"Okay, what time would you like to meet Mr. Gu?"
"One month from now, at 12:20 noon."
Anzhu was silent.
Who can make an appointment directly for a whole month?
After Gu Zhou finished giving the order, he ignored the disbelief on An Zhu's face and said, "Thank you for your hard work." Then he left in a carefree manner.
Gu Zhou leisurely took the elevator to the underground parking lot.
The casual smile on his face came to an abrupt end after he received an unfamiliar text message.
[Brother Zhou, I saw the news that Chen Yi is holding an engagement party on Wednesday. Let's talk about it.]
His dark eyes darkened as he clicked on the message and was about to block it.
The next message came in.
[If you ignore me, I'll have no choice but to go find Chen Yi.]
Gu Zhou's face tightened, and there was a murderous look in his eyes.
-
There is a lot to do in the afternoon.
After Wang Yuanling finished his work, he glanced out the window at the sky which was no longer as bright as the midday sun.
I realized I forgot to check the time.
He hurriedly flipped through his phone.
I looked at the time. Fortunately, there was still half an hour until 5:30, so I was not overtime.
Just finished rejoicing.
Her eyes froze.
What is she expecting...
Suddenly there was a sound of the doorknob being opened.
He opened the door without even knocking.
It definitely wasn't Anzhu.
Her watery eyes suddenly focused.
The door was opened roughly and the doorknob hit the wall, making a noise.
It turned out that the person who came in was not Anzhu.
But it was Zhou Zhenghai.
Menacing.
"Mr. Zhou, you can't just rush in like that!" An Zhu, who was behind him, hurried over at this time.
Judging from Zhou Zhenghai's posture, he seemed to have rushed here in a rage just now.
Yasuko was too late to stop him.
Zhou Zhenghai shouted angrily: "What a joke! Is there any place in the Wang family that I can't enter?!"
An Zhu: "Mr. Zhou, that's not what I meant."
Wang Yuanling stood up and looked directly into Zhou Zhenghai's punishing glare.
The smile was still gentle: "Uncle Zhou, Xiao An didn't mean that. Xiao An, please go out first. I want to chat with Uncle Zhou."
Yasuke hesitated.
Wang Yuanling gave him a reassuring look.
An Zhu then glanced at Zhou Zhenghai fearfully and slowly closed the door.
Wang Yuanling extended his hand towards the sofa: "Uncle Zhou, please sit down."
Zhou Zhenghai snorted disdainfully and pointed his finger at her angrily, "Don't be so hypocritical. I really underestimated you. You usually act humble, but you stab us in the back."
Wang Yuanling stepped lightly on the blanket with her high heels, brushing her skirt, and sat down opposite him gracefully and calmly.
"Uncle Zhou, you misunderstood me. This scandal was really not caused by me."
Zhou Zhenghai's eyes widened. "Stop pretending! Who else could it be if not you?! All of us executives are in trouble, and the one who benefits the most is you, Wang Yuanling."
Wang Yuanling rested her slender white hand lightly on her leg, calmly saying, "Uncle Zhou, think about it calmly. We share a common interest and represent the Wang Group brand. A scandal involving the senior management is a devastating blow to the Wang Group's brand reputation. It will damage Wang's reputation, shake market confidence, hinder financing, and stall projects... These chain reactions will ultimately undermine the foundation of the entire group, including the business line I'm responsible for. Attracting investment and negotiating cooperation will only become more difficult. How can you say that I'm the one who benefits the most?"
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes frank and filled with just the right amount of confusion: "This is clearly a situation where we'll hurt the enemy by a thousand and ourselves by eight hundred, and we might even be doomed. Would I do such a stupid thing?"
Zhou Zhenghai was silent for two seconds.
As if he was persuaded.
He opened his mouth, as if wanting to refute, but the interests analyzed by Wang Yuanling were too straightforward and realistic, leaving him speechless for a moment.
The only sound in the office was his heavy breathing. The momentum that seemed to have overturned the roof just now was like a balloon that had been punctured, and it deflated visibly.
However, that slight hesitation was soon overshadowed by deeper suspicion and shame.
Zhou Zhenghai's eyes became even more sinister. He stared at Wang Yuanling, as if he wanted to find even the slightest flaw in her disguise on her perfect face.
"What a sharp tongue!" He raged coldly, "You're clearing yourself of all charges? Wang Yuanling, if it wasn't you, then why were all the executives caught in this scandal, and not you? Why are all the accusations directed at us, the few with the final say? There's no such coincidence in this world!"
He suddenly took out a stack of photos from the inside pocket of his suit and threw them on the coffee table in front of Wang Yuanling with a "bang".
Wang Yuanling lowered her eyes and saw that those photos were all of her and Gu Zhou together.
There is a scene where he bends down to polish her shoes on a rainy day.
There is a scene of him helping her put on her coat.
There is also a scene of the two of them walking into the elevator hall side by side at night.
These photos all show an ambiguity and intimacy that outsiders cannot interfere with.
Wang Yuanling's eyelashes paused slightly, and when she raised them again, there was a sharpness in her watery eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Zhenghai grinned. "I was wondering why Gu Zhou kept giving me a hard time when I went to Gu's to report on your behalf. He even deliberately locked me in the elevator. It turns out he was trying to stand up for you. Wang Yuanling, you're really good at persuading me."
Wang Yuanling's fair face was filled with determination. "Uncle Zhou, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Mr. Gu and I are innocent. As for the embarrassment you felt when you reported, it's because you're not familiar with the project. He asked you a question, but you couldn't answer. I'm sure you've heard of Mr. Gu's work style, so I don't need to elaborate. As for the elevator lock, I'm not aware of it."
"Stop pretending. Aren't you tired of pretending? Didn't you win a few projects just by climbing into men's beds? Do you really think you are so capable? You are just climbing from another bed to Gu Zhou's bed. Why are you pretending to be innocent, bitch?"
"Zhou Zhenghai!" Wang Yuanling shouted.
Zhou Zhenghai not only continued to belittle her, but also continued to throw dirty water: "Don't think that just because you're the CEO of Wang Corporation, your status has been elevated. In reality, you're just trash thrown away by your own parents. It's just that the Wang Corporation's name has helped you gain a luster. Wang Corporation is what it is today because of the hard work of us executives day and night. Why should it be taken away from you, a piece of trash that even your own parents don't want?"
Wang Yuanling stood up, the coldness in his eyes was colder than minus 30 degrees Celsius.
She glanced at the time on the screen and suddenly laughed: "You look down on me so much, yet you talk about yourself as so capable, but in the end, I still took the position of CEO. What does this prove?"
Zhou Zhenghai stared at her with a sinister look in his eyes.
Wang Yuanling wasn't afraid at all, and even his smile was tinged with irony: "Even if you don't admit it, the fact is: you are not as good as me. Your hard work day and night is just paving the way for me."
Her tone became slower and slower: "What is this called?" She deliberately lengthened the tone.
He provocatively spouted out words to Zhou Zhenghai, "This is what they call 'drawing water from a bamboo basket, drawing water in vain,' a waste of effort, right?"
Zhou Zhenghai roared, "You bitch, I'm going to kill you." Then he pounced on her and strangled her neck.
