Chapter 1135: Conflict Escalates
There is also a way out.”
There didn't sound anything wrong with his words, and Gu Jingxiu couldn't find any clues that he had any special relationship with Zhang Lin, but she just felt very uncomfortable.
Why is she not open-minded?
What's wrong with her mentality?
It was obviously Zhang Lin who was causing trouble for her all day long.
Because she is the store manager and she is broad-minded, I have been tolerating her these days.
Besides, her sister-in-law has already said that she will not sign a contract with Zhang Lin, so why should she endure the anger of a holiday worker?
What made her most heartbroken was that Jin Zhengtai still asked her to accommodate her.
She won't do it!
Gu Jingxiu looked at Jin Zhengtai coldly and said in a strong tone, "My second brother and his wife gave me enough confidence to let me handle the affairs of my store. Don't use the fact that she is a student of the drama academy and a friend of Miss Chen Qian as an excuse to seek personal gain. I'm not that stupid."
She spoke word by word, "I know you have known her for a long time, and you admire her very much. You think she is a top student and is not on the same level as a migrant worker like me from the countryside. So, why do you want me to give in to her and accommodate her in everything?"
Gu Jingxiu stood up and looked at Jin Zhengtai with a tense face and a strong attitude. "I have never targeted her. If you believe her and listen to her trying to sow discord, I have nothing to say."
Jin Zhengtai realized that Gu Jingxiu had misunderstood the relationship between him and Zhang Lin, and he hurriedly explained, "Jingxiu, I've already said that she didn't sow discord, and I'm not familiar with her. We're both workers, and it's not easy. We were also poor children, and you should be able to understand the helplessness of a young employee. That's why I talked to you, hoping that we can stay true to our original aspirations and treat every employee with integrity. Why are you so impulsive?"
Gu Jingxiu listened to his words and felt that they were just high-sounding words. She sneered, "You know exactly what you are thinking. Don't forget, you brought Zhang Lin to the store yourself."
Jin Zhengtai said that he felt wronged, "Didn't I send her to your store because you said that your store was short of people?"
"Oh, it's all my fault. I asked for it."
The thing Gu Jingxiu regretted most was that he had brought a disaster to his store.
She has been accused of being harsh on employees even before she has fired her. If she is really fired, won't people think she is deliberately targeting Zhang Lin?
What would his second brother think when he comes back?
Gu Jingxiu was an honest and decent person, and had never experienced anything like this before. She just felt more tired than ever before.
At this time, the phone in Gu Jingxiu's bag rang.
She picked up the phone and heard Gu Jingqi's excited voice. She replied, "I'll go back and discuss it in the evening."
"You and Brother Jinzi should come back together. My second sister-in-law and I bought some clothes for my parents. You can come back and see them."
"He's not going back. He has something to do."
Gu Jingxiu didn't even look at Jin Zhengtai. The beef noodles in the bowl remained untouched. After hanging up the phone, she picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
"Jingxiu, don't be so ignorant, okay?"
Jin Zhengtai was speechless. Jingxiu was so sensible in the past, so why couldn't he communicate with her recently?
He chased out, and Gu Jingxiu looked at him with a cold expression, "Don't follow me, I don't want to see you now, and please don't come to our house tonight."
After saying that, she left quickly.
Jin Zhengtai was so angry that he just spun around, "This is really unreasonable, why can't you make sense?"
When Gu Jingxiu returned to the store, Zhang Linte greeted him warmly, "Jingxiu, you're back?"
In order to show her affection for Gu Jingxiu, she always called her by her name.
She noticed that Gu Jingxiu looked a little strange, so she asked with concern, "Jingxiu, what's wrong with you?
Who made you unhappy? "
Gu Jingxiu looked at her meaningfully and ignored her.
Zhang Lin ignored Gu Jingxiu's indifference towards her and said indignantly, "Did Mr. Jin provoke you?
How about I give him a call?
You are his partner, how could he make you angry?
I really don’t know how to cherish you.”
Her tone was just like that of a close friend.
Gu Jingxiu put down her bag and looked over coldly, "Do you know each other well?"
Zhang Lin's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he looked flustered and even a little incoherent, "I... no, no, didn't I explain it?
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong between me and Mr. Jin, I'm just standing up for you, how could he make you angry, a girl like you?"
Gu Jingxiu listened to her sincere words, and he really didn't know which one was true and which one was false.
She didn't know what her relationship with Jin Zhengtai was in the past, but in the past year since she came to Bincheng, Jin Zhengtai had been hanging around her except for work, and he also stayed in the alley at night. She knew all his friends, but she had never heard of the name Zhang Lin.
Gu Jingxiu thought that even if they were familiar with each other, it only started when Zhang Lin came to her shop.
Jin Zhengtai would not lie, he said he was not familiar with Zhang Lin.
Then, it must be this Zhang Lin who deliberately said bad things about her in front of Jin Zhengtai.
Destroy their relationship.
So what is she trying to do?
Gu Jingxiu thought about some possibilities, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Lin became more and more complicated.
Jin Zhengtai is such a smart man, he would not be able to detect this woman's intention.
But he actually found fault with her.
This made her feel not only a sense of crisis, but also more of a sense of hope.
Seeing that Gu Jingxiu didn't say anything, Zhang Lin thought that her words touched her heart, so she worked harder, "Actually, I think that men who are too handsome are sometimes really unreliable. Unless you are also beautiful to the point that no one can compare to you, otherwise, it will be really hard."
When she said this, she looked at Gu Jingxiu, and her tone was filled with deep regret.
Xiao Li, a clerk who was arranging the shelves, heard Zhang Lin's words and interrupted her unhappily, "Xiao Zhang, don't talk nonsense in front of the store manager. Her relationship with President Jin is very good. What's reliable or unreliable? Some people are ugly and still unreliable. Haven't you heard that ugly people are more likely to do bad things?
Besides, what’s wrong with our store manager?
She is beautiful and capable, much better than those pretty girls who are just pretty faces.”
After being scolded by Xiao Li, Zhang Lin curled her lips and said, "I just stand up for the store manager. I think Mr. Jin is going too far."
Seeing that Gu Jingxiu looked unhappy, Xiao Li came over curiously and asked, "Manager, did you really have a fight with Mr. Jin?"
Gu Jingxiu adjusted his mood and shook his head, "No, no, we are still close. There are no customers now, so you guys should clean up the garbage. It's almost time to get off work."
After she finished speaking, she went behind the cashier counter to calculate today's sales.
Hearing about cleaning up, Zhang Lin's eyes turned and he looked at Gu Jingxiu with embarrassment, asking her for leave. "Um... Jingxiu, I have something very important to do at school today. Can I leave work early?"
Gu Jingxiu didn't embarrass her. He just lowered his head and pressed the calculator, nodding, "Okay."
Gu Jingxiu has been slow to propose firing Zhang Lin.
She waited.
Wait for Jin Zhengtai to make a choice.
