Chapter 379: Chapter 379 Son, Don’t Think About Surpassing Your Father (8)

Gu Nuan modestly said, "Guessing, about seventy to eighty percent. Over at Director Chen’s side, I really didn’t help him much. Director Chen’s own capabilities are outstanding, and for us subordinates, merely following his orders is challenging enough, afraid we can’t keep up with his pace."

"Hahaha." Qi Rumin burst into hearty laughter, laughing as if he was almost crying, "So on the first day of the interview, didn’t I tell them, Director Chen and the others—’I see potential in you!’"

The suddenly offered olive branch seemed as though it should catch one off guard. Yet Gu Nuan just coldly pursed her lips, seemingly unwilling to even utter a polite thank you.

Watching her expression, Qi Rumin’s gaze gradually deepened, and his sudden silence became awkward, which he certainly didn’t anticipate, and he had to cough twice, frown, and said softly, "Do you not understand what I’m saying?"

"I understand very clearly, Director Qi. It was the director who transferred me to the Investment Promotion Team Three."

"Right!" Qi Rumin heard her response and seemed to understand her dissatisfaction, so he crossed his legs and said with a hint of pride, "You don’t understand, you’re a newbie after all. I saw it during the interview that day, you are like a wild weed. People like you, if put in a smooth-sailing environment, won’t grow. On the contrary, placed in adversity, you would grow rapidly. Investment Promotion Team Three is the most suitable soil for your growth. The fact proves that I was not wrong."

With that said, she, Gu Nuan, should have been very grateful.

However, Gu Nuan coldly parted her lips: "I really can’t feel any bit of goodwill from Director Qi himself; instead, I can perceive, completely, Director Qi’s full of malicious intent toward me."

Qi Rumin was stunned, "You?"

"Let’s speak the truth. Director Fang and I, we both felt certain that Director Qi would come looking for me. Now, just yesterday, I had just left Director Fang, and today, you came to find me, which can only prove one thing."

"What thing?" A flicker of light passed through Qi Rumin’s eyes.

"Director Qi, you must have known what Director Fang had in hand long ago. To force Director Fang to hand it over, you created such a situation, transferring me to his team. Because I displayed a sense of justice during the interview, and Director Fang, who has a spirit of chivalry, would certainly get along with me like a house on fire. Sooner or later, Director Fang would trust me and give the thing to me."

The color of Qi Rumin’s face gradually changed.

Gu Nuan took a breath and continued:

"Similarly, you arranged people in the hospital, forcing Director Fang to realize the dangerous situation he was in, making him hand over the thing quickly. At that moment you would appear, turning into a figure like a benefactor to me. In reality, even if you hadn’t done so, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that I would have been transferred to Investment Promotion Team Three. I’m a newcomer with a disability, with no family backing—where else could I be sent if not to Investment Promotion Team Three?"

After she finished speaking, an absolute, death-like silence fell over the entire office.

Qi Rumin’s gaze sharpened, carving into her face like a knife. Then, he suddenly slapped his thigh and split his lips in a grin: "Indeed, you are not to be underestimated, but are you clear about what you are refusing? You are refusing a big tree that could have supported you and your peers in this company. You have no backing in this company. As for that husband of yours you’re registered with, he holds no substantial power in this company at all. I guess you didn’t know that?"

Gu Nuan waited coldly for him to finish speaking.

After all, that Mr. Bai at her home had long been underestimated by many people outside; in this respect, he was actually doing even worse than her, Gu Nuan. At least she was seen as a promising newcomer.
