Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Tearing Off the Mask (2)

Married so quickly, then, does the man who just dumped Gu Nuan know about this?

Sister Yao suddenly had an epiphany, and looking at the young woman before her, she truly felt this woman was utterly unfathomable.

Her gaze upon Gu Nuan changed once again.

Gu Nuan could feel it, the look from the other party had shifted from that of a senior guiding a junior, to now evidently treating her, Gu Nuan, as a colleague of equal standing.

"There are some things, I must tell you. You know I have a pretty good relationship with Manager Fang, but it’s only in private, you understand?"

"I understand." Gu Nuan had only come to know this after Fang Yongxing was hospitalized.

Sister Yao said, "People in the same company, even though they are from two departments, why do they need to keep such a secretive relationship, do you know why?"

"Because the leaders of the two departments don’t get along?"

Sister Yao tapped her on the nose: "Smart."

The Investment Department and the Design Department were clearly two different cliques, each supporting different factions within the company.

Gu Nuan could imagine, the head of the Design Department was Zhan Dapeng, and Zhan Dapeng was one of her husband’s men. The Investment Department didn’t belong to her husband, so who were they supporting?

"You were assigned to Fang Yongxing’s team by a twist of fate," Sister Yao said. "Ultimately, I know you’re smart and a bit ambitious, but Manager Fang is too impulsive, and you should at least not follow him in that."

"Thank you, Sister Yao."

"What’s there to thank? The help I can offer is limited; I’m afraid I might not be of much assistance to you all."

Hiding in the small warehouse was not a solution. After a phone call with Tang Qingzhong, Sister Yao decided to send Gu Nuan out to buy some items, which would allow her to continue avoiding those from Team One.

Gu Nuan went directly from upstairs to the parking garage, then exited through the parking entrance, completely avoiding Team One’s surveillance.

Sister Yao asked her to go buy a set of design brushes, which she might find at an art supplies store near the fine arts college.

Gu Nuan checked the route on her phone and took the subway line.

Sister Yao told her she could head straight home after buying the brushes in the afternoon, and there was no need to return to the company to clock in.

Gu Nuan thought, you can dodge some days but not forever. This issue had to be resolved eventually.

Meanwhile, at MN, a Fortune 500 investment company.

In Wa Zicong’s office

Someone suddenly burst through the door without even knocking.

Xiaoliu looked at the woman who rushed in with surprise, and upon recognizing it was Su Yixia, he turned to look at Wa Zicong.

Wa Zicong asked him to leave and close the door, not allowing anyone else to enter.

Su Yixia walked furiously up to his desk, tossed a termination letter onto it, and demanded, "What do you mean by having HR send me this?"

"Do I even need to explain?" Wa Zicong said, "I hired you thinking you might be of some use to me. But now, the fact has been proven, you’re not useful to me, on the contrary, you’re a stumbling block."

Su Yixia let out a cold laugh: "Manager Wa, you’re quite shameless, using me all up and then wanting to discard me like trash after you’ve gotten what you wanted?"

"If you actually gave me something useful, how could I consider you trash?"

"What about the business secrets I just told you I got from Changda, weren’t you happy then? Do you dare say you didn’t want to use that as personal achievement for a promotion?" Su Yixia was livid, pointing at him and cursing, "I could have sold this information to others in the company, but thinking of how you were the one who got me into this company, I gave you that favor, and now you’re so ungrateful! Don’t expect any sympathy from now on—"
