002
Jiang Yuchen was like a traveler who had been walking in the desert for a long time and finally found an oasis. He finally found an opportunity to express his inner resentment and injustice.
"Mother, you misunderstood. Everything that just happened was..." His eyes turned around and finally chose Su Zhao, "Yes, it's all Su Zhao's fault. This woman is so vicious that she actually wanted to do something to Zhenxin." He seemed to have found the best shield for his actions, and he swore more and more firmly, "If I hadn't rushed over, I don't know what kind of inhuman torture Zhenxin would have suffered. Mother, please kick her out quickly. Our Jiang family cannot tolerate such a vicious woman."
Facing Jiang Yuchen's slander and accusations, Su Zhao always stood beside Jiang Yanyi, like a jade sculpture, silent and neither sad nor happy.
What Jiang Yuchen couldn't stand the most was Su Zhao's look, as if she wouldn't frown even if the sky fell. Seeing Jiang Yanyi's brows slowly furrowing, he thought his words had worked, so he worked harder to criticize Su Zhao.
"Mother, you don't know, this woman is always good at acting. She has two faces in front of people and behind their backs. She is always obedient in front of you, but in front of us, she always looks down on us with her nose in the air and her chin down. Countless employees have complained to me privately that she is unkind and like a devil. If you keep her around, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others, so please think twice."
"President..." Gu Zhenxin slowly put down his hands, his eyes wide open.
Jiang Yuchen thought she was moved by his stand up for her, so he gave her a comforting smile, "Don't be afraid, I said I will protect you."
"No, President, you're talking nonsense..." Gu Zhenxin hurriedly said "Puh, Puh, Puh" three times, "Puh, President, please don't say anything that has no factual basis."
Jiang Yuchen had planned everything, but he had never expected Gu Zhenxin to jump out and refute him: "Zhenxin, you..."
Gu Zhenxin was no longer afraid. She walked around Jiang Yuchen and came to Su Zhao. She looked up at Su Zhao with admiration in her eyes. "President, who told you that Manager Su is unkind and a devil? That's nonsense. Manager Su is a very good person. She cares about us, especially the female employees. Many of the company's benefits, such as the free sanitary napkins in the toilets and the newly opened women's lunch break room, were proposed and promoted by her after field research. Manager Su is beautiful and capable, but she is slow to warm up. We all like her. It's not like what you said."
Gu Zhenxin became increasingly agitated as she spoke. "And President, you've completely misunderstood. Manager Su and his wife didn't try to embarrass me at all. Manager Su just called me here because she wanted to help me after understanding my family situation. I'm being narrow-minded. Manager Su would take stray cats home and feed them if she saw one on the street. How could she be the vicious woman you're talking about?"
Finally, she concluded righteously, "So, President, you are simply wrongly accusing Manager Su based on hearsay. You should apologize to Manager Su."
Jiang Yuchen was completely dumbfounded. This was completely different from what he had expected.
"No, that's not the case..."
Without waiting for Jiang Yuchen to refute, Gu Zhenxin opened her big round eyes and asked, "My father taught me since I was a child that no one is perfect. President, don't you even have the courage to apologize to Manager Su for doing something wrong?"
Being asked so bluntly by the woman he liked, Jiang Yuchen was completely embarrassed. His face was as gloomy as water, and he was about to explode. Gu Zhenxin was like discovering a new continent. She unconsciously took a step back, with the momentum of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger: "President, you are so angry that you even want to hit me, right? No wonder my wife said you can't control your temper. But President, I have to remind you that I have decided to resign from the company. If you dare to hit me, I will definitely sue you."
Jiang Yanyi didn't expect that he didn't even have to do anything, the heroine would make the hero mad to death, it turned out that the heroine was the hero's nemesis.
But she knew with just a little effort that the hero would never do anything to the heroine. After all, the hero was attracted by the heroine's straightforward, natural, simple and innocent nature. He felt that she was different from anyone he had come into contact with since childhood. After getting along with her, he found that she was really a very simple and unpretentious girl. In the end, he fell deeply in love with her and couldn't help himself.
Jiang Yuchen really didn't plan to do anything to Gu Zhenxin. In her opinion, it was normal for Gu Zhenxin, a young girl who had just graduated from school, to be deceived by Su Zhao. After all, he had almost been deceived by her before.
Not only that, he felt that Gu Zhenxin was even more adorable, brave and kind.
"I don't agree." Jiang Yuchen pressed his lips into a line, "I really don't agree with you resigning."
Gu Zhenxin looked at him suspiciously, as if he were an idiot. "President, are you okay?" She had completely let herself go and was fearless at this moment, so she didn't give Jiang Yuchen any face at all. "Jiang Group is a formal company. I signed a contract with your company, and I also resigned according to the formal procedures. Why do you say you don't agree? Do you want to be a legal expert and give a legal lecture?"
"Enough." Jiang Yuchen gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Zhenxin, only you, only you can put my heart on the ground and trample on it again and again."
Gu Zhenxin was as frightened as if she had seen a flood or a beast when she heard this. She quickly shook her head and waved her hands: "No, no, no, President, you think too highly of me. You have Manager Su, and I have a boyfriend. There's no need to be like this."
"Huh, boyfriend? I order you to break up with him right now!"
Jiang Yanyi, who had been watching the show for a long time, finally understood. It was indeed a domineering president novel. Jiang Yuchen's style was obviously different from theirs. He had always been diligently following the domineering president's plot.
"Okay, Jiang Yuchen, shut up. Your noise is giving me a headache!" Jiang Yan pretended to rub his forehead.
Jiang Yuchen looked at her:?
Once again, it’s unbelievable that I only said a few words?
Jiang Yanyi ignored him and nodded approvingly at Gu Zhenxin. "Ms. Gu, a little girl knows that she should admit her mistakes. How dare you, a grown man, do something wrong but not take responsibility for it?"
Su Zhao finally made a move: "Madam, it's not necessary. It's all my responsibility."
Jiang Yuchen immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Mother, she said she didn't need it."
Jiang Yan's eyes were sharp. "Just because she said she didn't need it doesn't mean you didn't do anything wrong. If you're a man, then act like a man instead of haggling here. If you behave like this, then I'll have to consider whether you can shoulder the responsibility of the entire group."
Now Jiang Yuchen had no reason to escape anymore. He looked at Su Zhao, whom he had always disliked and said, "I'm sorry. That's enough."
Su Zhao was slightly stunned, as if he had never expected that one day he would hear his apology, although this apology was extremely perfunctory and not sincere.
"But President..." At the critical moment, Gu Zhenxin couldn't help but speak again, "I don't think you are sincerely apologizing to Manager Su. It's so perfunctory."
"Gu Zhenxin, you..."
Jiang Yanyi uttered an ambiguous "hmm".
Jiang Yuchen's rising arrogance immediately subsided.
"Su Zhao, I'm sorry. I wronged you. I shouldn't have said that to you, let alone hit you. I hope you don't take it to heart."
Jiang Yuchen finished speaking with great patience, and without waiting for Su Zhao's response, he said to Jiang Yanyi in a stern voice: "Mother, I still have things to do at the company, I'll leave first." After that, he turned around and left.
Jiang Yan shook his head. As expected, a man remains a boy until he dies!
Gu Zhenxin bowed to Jiang Yanyi and Su Zhao, "Madam, Manager Su, thank you for your care all the time. I am leaving now. I will hand over the work in hand and will not cause any trouble to the company."
Su Zhao frowned: "Don't you really need this job? Why are you leaving?"
"I..." Gu Zhenxin was unable to speak, "I really don't have any feelings for the president, and I have no intention of interfering between you two. But..."
"I know, it's Jiang Yuchen who's been pestering you."
Gu Zhenxin's eyes lit up and she looked up, "Madam, do you know? What did you do just now?" Her eyes involuntarily looked at Su Zhao, and the check was still on Su Zhao.
Without Jiang Yan saying anything, Su Zhao took the initiative to explain: "I mentioned to Madam that your family was in trouble and your father was in urgent need of money. Madam was kind and said that your father had once been kind to her. She had more money than she could spend anyway, so why not put it to good use? After all, nothing is more important than life."
"So that's how it is." Gu Zhenxin murmured to herself. After a moment, the light in her eyes lit up again. "Madam, Manager Su, I will not resign. I will work at Jiang's. I will work at Jiang's for the rest of my life." She made a gesture of encouragement.
Jiang Yan quickly wrote out a new check for her. "Here, take it. Cure your father first. This will be your reward for your hard work today."
Gu Zhenxin took the check and was deeply moved. Her father was finally saved.
"Thank you, Madam, and thank you, Manager Su. I'll go to work now. Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to create value for the company."
Looking at Gu Zhenxin who walked out of the office door happily, Jiang Yanyi had to admit that the heroine was really naive and simple!
The office became quiet again. If it weren't for the slight breathing sound, one wouldn't even be able to detect Su Zhao's presence.
"Su Zhao, thank you for your hard work over the years."
Su Zhao nodded: "Madam, it's not hard, it's all my job."
Jiang Yan waved his hand: "There are only two of us here, you don't have to pretend to be so strong, sit down."
Su Zhao responded and sat down.
As soon as Jiang Yan waited for her to sit down, he asked a question: "What do you think of Jiang Yuchen?"
"The president..."
"I want to hear your truth."
Su Zhao pursed his lips, looked up at Jiang Yanyi, and after confirming that she didn't look fake, he said, "According to employee feedback, the president doesn't seem to be suitable for his current position."
Since Jiang Yuchen assumed the role of group president, he's been plagued by scandals and gossip, often impacting the company's stock price. Internally, he's been known to pursue Gu Zhenxin, completely oblivious to any negative repercussions. He's also known to be dictatorial and insensitive to others' opinions. On several occasions, he's bluntly rejected collaborations that could have greatly benefited the group. If he weren't his wife's biological son, they'd suspect he was a commercial undercover agent sent by a rival.
"I don't want to know what my employees think. I want your opinion. In your eyes, what do you think of Jiang Yuchen?"
What did she think of Jiang Yuchen? Su Zhao's mind was blank for a moment.
She was an orphan who had come to the Jiang family at the age of six. To the outside world, she was the future daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. But to Jiang Yuchen, although his wife had always been kind to her, she was worse than a dog. Jiang Yuchen found her an eyesore, rigid and unromantic, and even more so, a surveillance device placed by his wife by his side.
The irony is that even though he clearly dislikes her so much that he wishes she would die the next second, he still goes to bed with her. He always pinches her viciously and humiliates her with words.
"Don't you want to be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family? I'll satisfy you. That way, you won't have to wag your tail and beg for mercy in front of my mother like a dog."
Su Zhao didn't know why Jiang Yuchen felt that he was fawning in front of the Madam. The Madam was so good to her and gave her the motherly love she had never felt before. In contrast, she had only returned less than one-tenth of her love.
However, she did not care about Jiang Yuchen's words. After all, he was the lady's only son. After all, the lady loved him. After all, she... took away the lady's motherly love.
Thinking of this, Su Zhao came back to his senses: "Madam, in my eyes, he is your son."
Jiang Yanyi understood. In Su Zhao's eyes, Jiang Yuchen was her son, and only her son.
Apart from this identity, he is nothing.
