Chapter 46 Gu Xiangsi, what are you doing?
Zhao Group President's Office.
Li Xiaoyao handed over a termination contract and liquidated damages document, "Mr. Zhao, this is from our Mr. Fu. Please take a look."
Zhao Niesen was knocked unconscious last night, so his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he looked listless.
He glanced at Li Xiaoyao and said coldly, "If I remember correctly, it was you who knocked me out yesterday, right?"
"Mr. Zhao, you must have remembered it wrongly." Li Xiaoyao denied it seriously, "No one of us knocked you out yesterday."
"Hmph, is that so?" Zhao Niesen sneered, obviously not believing it.
Li Xiaoyao nodded, his tone calm, "Boss Fu and I were indeed in that bar yesterday, but we were with a few partners."
Just don't admit it.
Zhao Niesen looked down at the termination agreement, then raised his eyes and asked, "Are you here for Gu Xiangsi?"
"Yes." Li Xiaoyao said frankly, "Our President Fu values talents very much and thinks that President Zhao should not be short of this designer, so..."
"No room for negotiation?"
Zhao Niesen clenched the contract tightly, the paper was wrinkled, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
Li Xiaoyao had a decent smile on his face.
"Boss Zhao, you also know that our Boss Fu always keeps his word."
He said slowly, "Moreover, Manager Gu owes our President Fu too much money. There is no other way, I can only keep her by my side and let her slowly pay back double."
"Humph, it turns out to be Fu Sinian's trick."
Zhao Niesen sneered, loosened his grip on the contract, smoothed the paper, picked up a pen and signed, "Then I have to thank Mr. Fu for being so generous and giving such a large amount of liquidated damages."
"You're welcome."
Li Xiaoyao took the document, nodded slightly, turned and walked out of the president's office.
In the office, Zhao Niesen suddenly raised his hand and swept all the documents and miscellaneous items on the table to the ground.
With a loud "boom", he slammed the table again, his chest heaving violently.
"I underestimated Gu Xiangsi."
He didn't expect Fu Sinian to do this for Gu Xiangsi.
In the contract, Gu Xiangsi signed a non-compete agreement.
Fu Sinian not only helped her pay the limited penalty, so that she had no worries, but also allowed her to continue designing.
Gu Xiangsi felt very complicated, and somewhere deep in her heart she felt gently touched.
Zhao Niesen sat back in his chair angrily, reached out and grabbed the phone cord on the corner of the table, pressed the internal call button, and said in a deep voice into the microphone: "Come into the office."
The assistant knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing the mess on the floor, he lowered his head slightly and asked, "What's going on, Mr. Zhao?"
"Help me check the hotel's surveillance to see if Fu Sinian and Li Xiaoyao entered my room last night." Zhao Niesen ordered.
"Yes." The assistant responded.
Zhao Niesen asked again: "And that princess, did she say anything later?"
The assistant shook her head: "She only said that she helped you go to the hotel yesterday, but you kept calling the wrong person, calling her..."
He stole a glance at Zhao Niesen before continuing, "Call him Manager Gu."
"Okay, get out now." Zhao Niesen interrupted him.
After the assistant left, Zhao Niesen frowned.
I just can’t figure out why last night was really an illusion?
Or was he drugged?
But he clearly remembered that Gu Xiangsi followed him into the room.
…
Gu Xiangsi had some free time, so she bought some nutritional supplements and food for Lin Xiu and went to the sanatorium.
As soon as I arrived, I saw grandma and Aunt Li walking in the garden.
"Xiangsi, how come you have time to come here?" Lin Xiu immediately smiled when he saw her.
Gu Xiangsi walked over, greeted Aunt Li first, and asked, "Aunt Li, how is my grandma doing recently?"
"The old man has been in a better mood recently and his condition has improved a lot." Aunt Li said with a smile.
Gu Xiangsi handed the things in her hand to Aunt Li, then stepped forward to support Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu was puzzled, "Don't you have to go to work recently?"
"I'm going after the New Year. It's almost the New Year, so I gave myself a holiday and rested for a few months in advance." Gu Xiangsi replied.
The two chatted all the way to the inpatient department.
Lin Xiu was already a little tired, so she lay down to rest.
Gu Xiangsi went to the bathroom to wash the fruit, and Aunt Li came over.
Gu Xiangsi looked up and asked, "Aunt Li, are you going to continue taking care of my grandma here during the New Year, or are you going home?"
Aunt Li smiled and said, "I don't really have any family. I'm alone."
Gu Xiangsi was stunned and said quickly, "I'm sorry, Aunt Li..."
"It's okay." Aunt Li said softly, "My family and children died in a car accident a while ago, so I'm the only one left."
"Miss Gu, I'll stay here with the old man. We have something to talk about."
Gu Xiangsi replied "OK" and took out a wad of money from her bag and handed it over: "It's the New Year, buy yourself some food, clothes, and daily necessities that you like."
"No, no, no, Miss Gu, the salary you give is already very high, enough for me alone." Aunt Li declined.
"I have to take this, otherwise I won't feel at ease." Gu Xiangsi insisted, "My grandma still needs your care."
Aunt Li had no choice but to accept it.
Gu Xiangsi lowered her voice and asked, "Have my uncle and aunt and their family come over recently?"
"I have been here. I visited him once two days ago and bought some fruits. He seemed quite generous," said Aunt Li.
"What didn't they say?"
Aunt Li: "I think the old man is very happy. He even gave them a card."
"Ka..." Gu Xiangsi's voice became deeper and his brows furrowed slightly.
Gu Xiangsi had lunch with Lin Xiu in the sanatorium and chatted about some trivial matters, which made Lin Xiu laugh continuously.
After her lunch break, she gave a few more instructions before getting up and leaving the sanatorium.
As I walked down the stairs, my cell phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and her eyes grew colder.
He didn't answer the phone until he reached the gate.
"Hello."
A woman's sharp voice immediately came from the other end of the line: "Gu Xiangsi, what are you doing? You still think you're a young lady? It took you so long to answer my call!"
The person who called was Gu Xianglian, her uncle's daughter.
Xiangsi Gu thought that she had been back for so long, and it was impossible that the Gu family had no news at all, but left her alone outside and watched them occupy the villa that belonged to her father.
Now he came to accuse her with righteous words. Her eyes turned completely cold and there was no warmth in her voice.
"Gu Xianglian, what grounds do you have to accuse me like this?"
Gu Xiangsi held the phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
"I don't want to waste any more time talking to you. Grandma's 70th birthday is in two days, and all the Gu family relatives will be there. Grandma is very proud, so you must be there. I'm just letting you know."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up with a "click".
Gu Xiangsi's brows furrowed more and more as he listened to the busy tone coming from the receiver.
Good face? Yes.
Grandma wants face, and uncle wants respectability, so they need her, the forgotten granddaughter, to complete the appearance of a large family?
She curled the corners of her mouth in self-mockery.
But when something happened to their family, how did their uncle Gu Dong and grandmother treat them?
He completely cut off all ties with their family and refused to have any relationship with them at all. He even wrote a letter of severing ties and drew a clear line between them.
What's happening now?
I suddenly thought of her, the granddaughter who had been kicked out of the house a long time ago.
"Lovesickness?"
Gu Xiangsi looked up when she heard the voice and saw Chen Fang and her family coming towards her with things in their hands.
Her eyes fell on the gifts and fruits.
"Aunt, are you here to see grandma?"
"What else?" Chen Fang raised the things in her hand, "Why did I buy so many things?"
Gu Xiangsi felt something was wrong, and thinking of the previous card incident, she asked, "How is your work going?"
"Okay, everything is fine." Chen Fang responded quickly, "I have a stable job and I'm making good money now."
She paused and then asked, "Are you going up to see Grandma?"
"I've seen it, grandma is sleeping."
"Okay, then I won't say any more to you. Let's go up first. Hurry up!"
Chen Fang called out behind him, "He Fan, let's go."
