The expression on Xiao Hong’s face immediately broke. She widened her eyes in disbelief and turned to look at Jiang Zi.
The smile on Jiang Zi’s face was something she had never seen before. He held a pile of bags in his hand and handed them to Gu Man.
The last hope in her heart was shattered. All her fantasies became evidence that she was just a clown. At this moment, her self-esteem rose, making her unable to accept this fact at all. Her back was so sorry that she could almost be said to have fled.
Jiang Zi looked at Xiao Hong’s back in confusion. “What’s wrong with that person? 1 saw her kneeling in front of you from afar. Could she be threatening you?”
At the thought of this, the expression on Jiang Zi’s face instantly tensed up as he sized Gu Man up. “You’re not injured anywhere, right?”
“No, let’s go upstairs.” Gu Man looked at the back view and did not intend to fuss about it. However, from today onwards, she would be the one stopped outside the company.
Sitting in the office, Jiang Zi pulled a chair over and sat in front of Gu Man. “Why did you think of coming to the company today?”
However, Jiang Zi’s resentful gaze always gave Gu Man the illusion that she was a scumbag.
Gu Man retracted her gaze and looked at the entire table of breakfast. She picked up her chopsticks and tasted a few of them. They all tasted very good and did not turn cold because of such a long delay.
The only flaw was that there were too many portions. She only took a few bites before she could not eat anymore.
The chopsticks were placed on the table. Jiang Zi seemed to have seen that she was full and skillfully reached out to take the chopsticks. Seeing this, Gu Man reached out and threw the chopsticks into the trash can. Then, she looked up at Jiang Zi.
The veins on Jiang Zi’s forehead throbbed, and he smiled reluctantly. “1 only took a pair of chopsticks.”
“It’s impossible for such a big company to not have a pair of chopsticks. Look again.” Gu Man did not feel guilty at all. She looked at Jiang Zi. Even someone as slow-witted as her sensed that something was wrong.
“I already have a boyfriend, Jiang Zi.” Her tone was exceptionally serious as she stared into Jiang Zi’s eyes.
However, Jiang Zi avoided his gaze and stood up. “1’11 go see if there are any other chopsticks. We can’t waste so much food.”
With that, he walked hurriedly, afraid that Gu Man’s next words would be something he was unwilling to hear.
Gu Man looked at Jiang Zi’s back helplessly.
Not long after Jiang Zi left, there was a knock on the door. Gu Man looked up at the door. Zhang Li pushed open the door and walked in with a careful expression.
“Miss Gu, Xiao Hong…” Zhang Li stood rooted to the ground for a long time, not knowing how to organize her words. In the end, she let out a sigh. “Miss Gu, I’ll handle this matter well. I definitely won’t let you see her again.”
“There’s no need. She already left just now. Handle the subsequent procedures. If you have to follow the procedures, follow them. Don’t let her find any loopholes.” Gu Man looked at the computer screen in front of her and didn’t even look up.
Her attitude also alarmed Zhang Li. Could it be that Gu Man was unwilling to believe her anymore?
Immediately, Zhang Li became even more flustered. She regretted not thinking before she said it.
“Miss Gu, this is my negligence. Can you give me another chance?” Zhang Li’s voice was unstable as she carefully observed Gu Man’s expression.
Gu Man finally stopped what she was doing. She looked at Zhang Li. “You shouldn’t have overflowing sympathy. Besides, the same excuse can take effect again.”
Zhang Li’s face turned pale. Through Gu Man’s reminder just now, she realized that Xiao Hong’s words were almost the same as the words of the man who left that day. However, she was deceived by such a clumsy method. She really thought that Xiao Hong was as miserable as she described.
Wasn’t this the overflowing sympathy that Gu Man had said? As a result, she couldn’t tell right from wrong and even talked back to her superior for an outsider. She was simply stupid.
Zhang Li felt that it was basically hopeless for her to stay here..
