When Qin Zhi’ai returned to the office, the secretaries crowded around her immediately and started gossiping.
“Xiao’ai, what happened in Master Gu’s office?”
“Yeah, where’d you go with the royal family?”
Qin Zhi’ai would never reveal anything about Liang Doukou’s or Gu Yusheng’s private affairs. During the onslaught of questions, she deliberated over her words before replying, “I’m not sure about the specifics but, after Master Gu returned, Chauffeur Wang and I had other matters to deal with.”
“Oh, we see…”
Surprisingly, the group believed her.
Moments later, another secretary said, “That’s the first time in my life to be terrified by a man’s rage. I didn’t see it up close, but through the doorway, and I was scared out of my wits.”
“Yeah, I know, right? I was too scared to let out a breath. I didn’t want to be on the receiving end of any of that.”
“In the heat of it, Master Zhang call me to his office, and when I passed Master Gu’s office he was yelling that this was his company and he’ll do as he pleases and that he’d appoint an intern as a general manager if he wanted to!”
When Qin Zhi’ai heard “intern” she knew this referred to her, even if the others thought he was just using an extreme example while arguing.
The words that Gu Yusheng had said before she left came back to her: “Today, I am telling you that I will protect her now and forever. No one can fire her without my permission!”
So, after I left, did he really stand up to Old Master Gu and Liang Doukou for me?
Before her thoughts settled, Qin Zhi’ai’s heard another secretary say, “Well, Master Gu’s temper may have been terrifying, but he’s still handsome! Especially the way he carried himself when he called for security to come throw Liang Doukou out of the office. That was too hot to handle!”
Throw Liang Doukou out of the office?
Qin Zhi’ai felt a jolt, and her heart trembled.
“He’s beyond handsome!” Because business hours were coming to a close and management had left for the day, the gossip was getting louder.
Master Zhang’s secretary took on a domineering pose and began to mimic Gu Yusheng. “Let me make this clear. From now on, whoever lets Liang Doukou into the office will be fired!”
“GYAAAAA, stop it! My hormones can’t take it!”
“I would’ve never imagined that there would be a day when I’d get to see the glamourous superstar so flustered!”
“And to think we’d thought Master Gu was completely uninterested in every woman he’d ever met because he was married to the beautiful Miss Celebrity. Wow, we sure were wrong.”
“Old Master Gu was furious. He grabbed that porcelain vase and slammed it toward Master Gu’s head. If Master Gu hadn’t blocked it with his arm, it could’ve cracked his skull!”
Porcelain?
Qin Zhi’ai, who had been silently listening to the conversation, turned her head and glanced at the shelf.
