Chapter 8: After being chased by the male protagonist, I passed the civil service exam.
"Who was following up on and supervising this project before?" Gu Moyuan suppressed his anger.
"It's Assistant Ji."
It's him again.
Gu Moyuan felt a lump in his throat, unable to let go of the feelings he had for his wife.
For a moment, no one else in the office dared to continue speaking.
Gu Moyuan's gaze darkened; he hadn't expected that the Gu family really couldn't function without Ji Huaizhi.
He tossed the documents he was about to throw onto the table and leaned back in his chair: "Does anyone here have any contact with Ji Huaizhi right now?"
At this point, everyone fell completely silent.
Without Assistant Ji, it seems like everyone has lost their backbone.
Gu Moyuan took out his personal phone and dialed the number, but no one answered.
After hanging up the phone, someone spoke up weakly: "Assistant Ji's work phone is in his office. I saw it when I went in today, so I can't contact him at all now."
Gu Moyuan suddenly laughed in anger.
He never imagined that the company could do without him, but not without Ji Huaizhi.
If you didn't know better, you'd think this company's surname was Ji.
I realized that I seemed to have his private phone number, just so I could contact him easily.
After calling again, it rang a few times before a deep male voice came from the phone: "Hello?"
"Ji Huaizhi, why didn't you hand over your work to the other employees when you left? Can you take responsibility for the impact on the company's operations?"
Gu Moyuan finally found a place to vent his anger:
"Now! Immediately! Back to the company!"
"I underestimated you." His tone was sarcastic. "Because you didn't hand over the work, do you know how many clients are still waiting? Do you even care about the company's affairs?"
"I hired you to do things, not to throw tantrums!"
"You're an orphan with no parents. If I hadn't made you who you are today, would you be where you are today?"
"I'm telling you, I can give you money, or I can make you lose everything."
"Don't test my limits."
The other employees saw that he spoke so directly, showing no respect whatsoever to Assistant Ji!
Once Assistant Ji returns to the company, what authority will she have?
Isn't this just like tearing off a layer of skin?
What kind of life did Assistant Ji lead before?
Judging from President Gu's ferocious appearance, if Assistant Ji were here, he would definitely have made a move again. Isn't this blatant bullying?
Assistant Ji has worked tirelessly for the company and for President Gu. It's unclear what Assistant Ji did wrong. Is it because President Gu disapproved of her that she ended up like this?
Suddenly, everyone felt a sense of "the rabbit is killed once the hunt is over, the hound is cooked."
Gu Moyuan felt much better after venting his frustrations.
It was discovered that the person on the phone hadn't uttered a sound since the first time they spoke.
He repeated, "Go back to the company right now, don't delay my important business."
"President Gu."
To protect his ears, Ji Huaizhi had just placed his phone on the table while drinking coffee and enjoying the scenery.
Seeing that there were no other noises on the other end of the phone, she picked up the phone and spoke to Gu Moyuan:
"You're too late. I'm traveling right now."
"You? Traveling?" Gu Moyuan didn't expect this answer.
"Well, after you criticized me that day, I realized that I haven't had a holiday in all these years. Just like you said, I'm an orphan without parents, and I'm working at the company during the Spring Festival."
"It's time to be kinder to myself."
Why should I, a lonely person, work so hard?
"You agree, right?"
Gu Moyuan was speechless after hearing his words.
In the past, if he said just one word, the other party would rush over without stopping, so Gu Moyuan was very dissatisfied with his answer this time.
The expressions of the others changed when they heard what Assistant Ji said.
Assistant Ji is having a tough time; she had to work even during the Chinese New Year holiday.
If this assistant doesn't come back, they'll be the ones in big trouble.
"What's wrong with traveling? Fly back right now!" Gu Moyuan ordered.
"I'm afraid it won't work."
Ji Huaizhi calmly said, "The place I'm traveling to is so remote that there's practically no signal. I'm standing under a cell tower right now to answer your call."
"If you rush back, you probably won't have time to deal with things at the company. I suggest you send someone else, Mr. Gu."
"Why not?" Gu Moyuan wouldn't allow anyone to disobey him.
"I'll arrange a private jet for you, you'd better fly back to me!"
Ji Huaizhi: "I'm in this remote mountain area, Mr. Gu, it should be hard for you to find me. After all, I first took a plane, then a high-speed train, then a slow train, and then a bus. I was planning to rest at a farmhouse here for a while."
"Although it is isolated from the world, I feel that it has allowed me to calm down after so many years of being busy."
Gu Moyuan: "Are you in a primeval forest?"
He didn't understand how such a place could exist.
They might be going on an adventure in a primeval forest; other rich kids have done similar extreme sports before.
But I didn't expect Assistant Ji to go too.
Others: "......"
"Anyway, it will take a long time to get back, and I will lose signal again. I believe the company can still operate without me."
"I won't bother you any longer, goodbye Mr. Gu."
After I finished speaking, I heard a "beep beep beep" sound from the other end.
Gu Moyuan saw that the call had dropped, so he dialed it again.
When I called back, all I got was a message that the phone was out of service.
He rubbed his temples while holding his phone, and no one else dared to make a sound.
Gu Moyuan was annoyed: "Why are you looking at me? Do you think watching me will help you get the job done?!"
"Get to work! Try to salvage the situation! If you can't do it right, you can forget about staying at Gu's!"
Upon hearing his words, the others quickly left the office.
Gu Moyuan tossed his phone aside, leaned back in his work chair, and turned around. His mouth was dry, so he loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt, only to realize that he hadn't even had a sip of water in all this time.
Previously, tea would be prepared as soon as he entered the office.
"Ji Huaizhi, oh Ji Huaizhi!"
He now deeply regrets giving him so much power.
Without him at the company, Gu Moyuan was extremely busy and overwhelmed.
He has to make decisions on even the smallest things.
