As Gu Yao's face loomed infinitely close, Zhou Chunhua involuntarily stepped back, and then with a thud, the back of her head hit the wall.
She could only raise her hands to shield herself, trying to push Gu Yao away. However, the man in front of her was like a statue, impossible to budge an inch.
"I... I was just afraid that others would misunderstand you, so I wanted to clarify," she explained.
"Who asked you that?" Gu Yao grabbed her wrist. "What do you mean, 'Today is your last day working at the law firm'? Where are you going?"
“I…we had an agreement.” Zhou Chunhua explained softly, “Gu Yao, I know you gave me this job because I was tricked into joining a pyramid scheme when I was looking for a job before.”
I know that my month at the law firm has caused you a lot of rumors and trouble. Because of this, I am simply not qualified to work at a law firm. Therefore, I have decided to resign.
I left my resignation letter on your desk when I left work. If you don't agree to my resignation, then I'll have to forfeit my salary for this month.
Seeing that Gu Yao wanted to ask more questions, she quickly interrupted, "There's no reason! I just want to give my colleagues a fair chance. They all worked so hard to get into Junhe."
And I... a middle-aged woman who has nothing, just because I'm your friend, makes all their years of hard work seem pale and powerless. This is not only unfair to them, but it also affects your credibility, reputation, and prestige.
At this point, Zhou Chunhua smiled.
"Don't laugh at me. It was only after reading the books you gave me that I realized that a manager is like a scale for a company, but it doesn't weigh profits; it weighs people's hearts."
Once the scales lose their fairness, the company will lose the hearts of its employees and slowly decline. But… I'm resigning not for your sake, but because I need to spend my time on my own things.”
After she finished speaking, she felt Gu Yao's hand slowly loosen, and she grabbed it again.
Looking up, she smiled gratefully and said, "Gu Yao, thank you. Doesn't the book say that there are many people in this world who will add flowers to brocade, but very few who will offer charcoal in the snow? Meeting you when I needed help the most is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me."
After saying that, Zhou Chunhua lowered her head in shame: "If you don't mind, I hope we can be friends for life. But don't worry, once I get the villa in Yunxijian, I will immediately cash it out and pay back the money I borrowed from you."
She's not the kind of person who uses the guise of friendship to take advantage of others.
"good."
Hearing Gu Yao's unhesitating answer, Zhou Chunhua looked up in disbelief, only to see Gu Yao's gaze fixed on her hand. She quickly withdrew her hand.
Having worked with Gu Yao for so long, she naturally knew some of his minor issues.
For example... obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Gu Yao dislikes physical contact with people, especially women.
For example, if a female colleague touches the thermos he uses to drink tea at work, he will throw it away without hesitation, even if he drinks mineral water all day.
When he meets and shakes hands with clients, he wipes them with wet wipes immediately after they leave.
Strangely enough, Gu Yao seemed to forget his germaphobia several times when he held her hand. She didn't want to ask, so she forgot just now and that's why she held his hand.
When she saw Gu Yao staring at the hand she had held, she quickly took out a disinfectant wipe from her pocket and handed it to him.
"sorry."
"It's okay." Gu Yao took the disinfectant wipe, but instead of opening it, he put it in his pocket.
"So what are your plans next? I mean, maybe I can help."
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Chunhua decided to tell him all her plans.
This includes searching for information about the Pujiang Road long-distance bus station.
“If Su Mu took Nini away from Jiang City from there, she would definitely have bought a ticket, and the ticket would record where she took Nini. As long as we figure that out, we will definitely be able to find Nini.”
Gu Yao nodded.
"So where do you plan to start next?"
Without a second thought, Zhou Chunhua told him everything she needed to do next.
As Gu Yao listened, his eyes narrowed slightly, and finally he pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.
"Okay. Remember to let me know if you need any help."
After Zhou Chunhua nodded, the two returned to the barbecue table.
However, when they sat back down, the young people had very strange expressions on their faces.
How should I put it?
She sensed envy in the way they looked at her. But the way they looked at Gu Yao was filled with pity…
Pitiful?
She couldn't understand what they envied about her, a middle-aged woman ruined by love. And what was there about Gu Yao, who could have anything he wanted, that they could pity?
Fortunately, after Minister Wen livened up the atmosphere, everyone had a great time at the gathering.
She also drank a bit too much because of everyone's enthusiasm.
So much so that... she drank herself into oblivion again.
She woke up with a start before dawn, and only felt relieved when she saw that she was in her own room.
I patted my head, which was no longer working, and glanced at the time: 4 a.m.
It seems I should drink less alcohol in the future.
If it weren't for Gu Yao, she'd probably be lying in some corner right now.
Just as I lay down and closed my eyes, wanting to go back to sleep, I suddenly heard another breathing sound in the room…
With a whoosh, Zhou Chunhua sat up.
When it leaned out halfway toward the sound, its eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Gu Yao!
Gu Yao was actually sleeping on the floor next to her bed.
Her first thought was that she must be seeing things.
The next second, Zhou Chunhua felt that she was still drunk, so she lay back down, closed her eyes, and continued to sleep.
...
At 4 a.m., in the Yunxijian Villa.
Su Mu was hysterically pounding on Liao Nanxing's door.
"Liao Nanxing! Come out here! Come out here!"
Unable to speak, Xu Xiuzhen stood at the door of her bedroom, watching.
Let's make a scene, the bigger the better.
The usually gentle and weak Su Mu, like Lin Daiyu uprooting a willow tree, grabbed the floor lamp next to her and smashed it down on Liao Nanxing's door.
With a loud bang, the floor lamp broke in two.
The door was also smashed open, leaving a large hole.
As the door panel wobbled, the lock clicked softly, and the door opened at that moment.
"Liao Nanxing!" Su Mu rushed over, stood on tiptoe, grabbed Liao Nanxing's collar and questioned, "Where did you go last night? Were you at Zhou Chunhua's? Right? You were at Zhou Chunhua's, weren't you?"
Liao Nanxing! Why did you do this to me? Why! If you still love her, why did you divorce her and marry me? I...I..."
Hysterical, Su Mu broke down in tears: "I clearly love you so much, I clearly gave you a son, I clearly gave you everything, why are you treating me like this?"
