Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 268 Regarding Gu Qingxin (3)

Gu Qingxin is capable, but she's too eager for quick success and not very honest. Even when Steven called, he didn't intend to keep him. If she thought that bringing Steven over would make him stay, she's seriously underestimating Fisher!

He took a leisurely sip of coffee, picked up the landline on the table, and dialed a number. "Call Miss Gu Qingxin in."

Not long after, Gu Qingxin came in. Seeing Fisher, she finally felt relieved. She knew very well that Steven had already called her, and it was a sure thing that she would stay.

“Sit down,” Fisher said.

"Thank you." Gu Qingxin tossed her glamorous, wavy hair and said alluringly, "I wonder what brings the director here?"

"Miss Gu, you've been with Fan Hua Design for about two months now, haven't you?"

"Yes, it's been exactly two months."

How is work here?

Seeing that Fisher had gotten to the point, Gu Qingxin's eyes lit up. "I think Fan Hua Design is a great platform, very suitable for long-term development. It is an honor for me to work here, and I love this job very much. I hope to continue working here."

Fisher nodded: "I heard you and Miss Yan don't get along well?"

Gu Qingxin was taken aback: "It's because I haven't been out and about enough, and I don't understand social etiquette. I offended Miss Yan, so..."

"As your team leader, Miss Yan is responsible for overseeing the entire operation. She is the central figure, and as team members, we must unite closely around her to get the job done. In other words, the collective strength is paramount, while individual ability is secondary. As subordinates, respecting your superiors is the bare minimum requirement, understand?"

Gu Qingxin pursed her lips: "I understand, it was my fault, and I will pay attention in the future. But I really want to stay at Fan Hua Design, and I hope the director can put in a good word for me."

Fisher raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by that?"

“I offended Miss Yan, so she wrote a letter of recommendation hoping I would leave this team. But according to the hiring principles of Fan Hua Design, if Miss Yan is unwilling to accept me, no other team will take me in either. Director, I know I was wrong this time, but I really don’t want to leave Fan Hua Design. Please, please let me stay.”

"How did you offend Miss Yan?" Fisher asked calmly, taking a sip of coffee.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingxin paused, realizing that if she spoke up, Fisher might not help her anymore. But if she didn't, he would be even less likely to help her. She hesitated.

“In the time I’ve spent with Miss Yan, I’ve found her to be a good boss and a good assistant. If nothing had happened, I believe she wouldn’t have fired anyone so easily.” Fisher raised an eyebrow at Gu Qingxin. “Miss Gu, it’s best to tell the truth.”

Gu Qingxin wasn't stupid. Fisher's words were clearly biased towards Yan Zuozuo. But whatever, Stephen had already called Fisher, so she didn't believe he wouldn't give her face. She was going to risk it!

"As I just said, Miss Yan is a favorite of the director."

Fisher raised an eyebrow: "No wonder, Miss Gu. Forgive my bluntness, but aren't you just making trouble out of nothing?"

"Director, I really know I was wrong. I hope you can give me a chance. I really don't want to leave Fan Hua Design."

"Actually, there's nothing special about Fan Hua Design. It's a small company with nothing to offer. It's better to leave. Maybe a better job is waiting for you, Miss Gu. You should think about it."

Gu Qingxin froze. Fisher was actually trying to kick her out too?

"Director, I really know I was wrong. I don't want to leave Fan Hua Design. I can apologize to Ms. Yan. I promise to listen to her in everything from now on. Please give me another chance!"

Stephen had already called him, so why would he still ask her to leave? Did Fisher disregard Stephen's feelings just to help Yan Zuozuo?

“Ms. Gu, let’s put it this way. Ms. Yan has just returned, and this is a matter for her team. If I interfere at this time, I’m afraid it will be difficult for Ms. Yan to carry out her work. You should find another job.” He paused, then said with a half-smile, “Actually, the situation in the United States is also good. With President Stephen there, I believe no one will dare to offend Ms. Gu.”

Gu Qingxin froze. Did Fisher already know about her affair with Stephen? Shouldn't he be the one trying to curry favor with her? Why was he insisting that she leave?

"Director..."

Fisher smiled faintly: "Does Miss Gu know why Deputy Director Qin, who was doing well in the United States, suddenly returned to China?" After saying that, he opened the documents and began to work, without saying another word.

Gu Qingxin stiffened. This was a blatant warning. If she didn't know what was good for her, she might end up like Qin Yun. She clenched her fists; no matter how unwilling she was, she couldn't stay here any longer!

"I heard that Stephen and his wife will be coming to China soon. If I were Miss Gu, I definitely wouldn't want to stay here any longer, don't you think?"

Gu Qingxin glanced at Fisher, gritted her teeth, and said, "I understand. If the director has nothing else, I'll head out now."

"Take care, don't bother seeing me out." Fisher called Yan Zuozuo the moment Gu Qingxin closed the door, saying casually, "I just received a call from the president of MB, it's about Gu Qingxin."

Yan Zuozuo was stunned. So the big fish behind Gu Qingxin was the president of MB. Wasn't that the same sugar daddy as Qin Yun? What a coincidence.

"So the director means..."

"Process Gu Qingxin's resignation immediately, don't keep her for even a minute longer!"

Yan Zuozuo was dumbfounded. Before she could react, Fisher had already hung up the call. She stood there stunned for a long time, unable to understand what this meant. If the MB president had already called Fisher, why did he say Gu Qingxin couldn't stay a minute longer? Was this a grudge over having his wife stolen, and Fisher still holding a grudge against Qin Yun, hence his disrespect towards Stephen?

She thought it was very likely; otherwise, she couldn't think of any other reason. She called the HR department and asked them to process Gu Qingxin's resignation, then went back to her own work.

Not long after, there was a knock on the office door. Thinking it was a colleague, she looked up and smiled, "What... Husband?"

She stared in astonishment, only to see Chi Moqing, dressed in a white tracksuit, standing before her. Tall, handsome, and imposing, he was simply perfect.

She immediately stood up: "Honey, what brings you here?"

Chi Moqing smiled indulgently, "Of course I'm here to pick up my wife from get off work." He kept giving Yan Zuozuo his charming eyes, making her dizzy with admiration.

"Wife, what do you want to eat tonight?" Chi Moqing asked, taking the opportunity to steal a kiss.

Yan Zuozuo blushed and glared at him playfully, "I haven't gotten off work yet, um, probably another half hour, tonight..."

Before she could finish speaking, the office door was suddenly pushed open. Behind Gu Qingxin followed a helpless-looking Cai Keren, "Zuo Zuo, Miss Gu, she..."

"I understand, it's okay, you can go home now," Yan Zuozuo nodded.

When Cai Keren saw Chi Moqing there, she knew nothing would happen, so she nodded and left.

"Yan Zuozuo, I'll ask you one last time, are you really not going to keep me here?" Gu Qingxin said arrogantly, sitting down opposite Yan Zuozuo without any politeness as she walked in her high heels.

Yan Zuozuo gestured for Chi Moqing to sit on the sofa and wait for her, then smiled and said, "I thought I had made myself clear enough."

Gu Qingxin took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, "Did Director Fisher call you just now?"

"Yes, we just hung up."

"So what does he mean?"

“Miss Gu, we’re all in the same circle, we see each other all the time, why do you insist that I make things so clear?”

"It's because you, Yan Zuozuo, went too far!" Gu Qingxin snorted coldly.

Yan Zuozuo frowned: "Even so, this is my final decision. I hope Miss Gu can have a good future. It's better not to be too persistent."

"No need for nice words. I'm telling you, Yan Zuozuo, you really don't know how to behave." Gu Qingxin said disdainfully.

Yan Zuozuo smiled faintly: "Oh? Please enlighten me, Miss Gu."

"There are some things that are better left unsaid between the two of us, otherwise, you'll be the one who loses face."

Yan Zuozuo glanced at Chi Moqing, who showed no sign of leaving. If President Chi wasn't going to leave, nothing anyone said would change that. She shrugged helplessly, "It's alright, I'm sure this handsome guy knows far more embarrassing stories about me than Miss Gu does."

Gu Qingxin hadn't looked directly at Chi Moqing until now, when she turned her head to look at him, her heart suddenly raced, her face flushed, and she was instantly captivated. In her twenty-seven or twenty-eight years of life, she had never seen such a handsome and charming man; her heart pounded, and her mind was racing.

However, Yan Zuozuo was displeased. In response to Gu Qingxin's insolence, she coughed twice and said, "Miss Gu, if you have nothing to say, you can leave!"

Gu Qingxin had no choice but to look away, inwardly cursing Yan Zuozuo several times. "Isn't it simple? Everyone knows I have connections, and Director Fisher has also spoken to that person on the phone. He's talked to me and you, to put it bluntly, he hopes to change his mind through you. He's saving face for you without offending anyone else. If Miss Yan still doesn't understand this, she's really too stupid. Offending people from all sides, her future days won't be easy."

Yan Zuozuo stared wide-eyed in astonishment. Is that so? Then why is Fisher so eager for her to leave?

“Since Miss Gu has made things clear, I won’t hold back anymore. Miss Gu has powerful connections and a strong background, so why should she confine herself to our small-scale Fan Hua Design? The outside world is vast, and I believe that with Miss Gu’s talent, her future will be even brighter. It’s not appropriate for me to keep Miss Gu here, as that would be ruining her future, and it’s not a good thing to do.”

Yan Zuozuo's words left Gu Qingxin speechless, and for a moment she could only glare at her, wishing she could tear her to pieces.

Yes, she was indeed Stephen's bed partner, whom he met in the United States. She originally wanted to stay in the US and maintain this relationship with him long-term, perhaps even becoming his official wife. However, after witnessing Qin Yun's fate, she completely changed her mind. Stephen's wife had a powerful background, and Stephen had made his fortune thanks to her. No matter how much he doted on a woman, he could never separate from his wife.

So she returned to China partly to keep Stephen's interest fresh and exciting; and partly to find a rich and handsome man to marry back home. Her family was poor, even destitute, so she would seize any opportunity to climb the social ladder in order to change her impoverished life.

She chose Fan Hua Design because Fisher was the director, and with Qin Yun, Tong Shili, and Song Yutong there, many wealthy people came from far and wide, increasing her chances of meeting truly rich people. She had finally set her sights on a few, but Yan Zuozuo ruined it all.

She was unwilling, very unwilling!
