Chapter 652: 140:Regret_2

Gu Shufen sighed, "Gui Mei, under the current situation, it’s no longer within my control."

With those words, Gu Shufen grasped Lin Guimei’s hand, "Gui Mei, let’s go downstairs to talk."

The eighth-floor office area was crowded with people, and Lin Guimei’s noisy scene was really causing a disturbance.

Despite being on the verge of collapse, Lin Guimei was still rational and followed Gu Shufen down the stairs.

In Qing City, even during the twelfth lunar month, the sunshine was still remarkably strong.

Without a winter season, there was no need for down jackets; a long-sleeve T-shirt would suffice. But standing in the sunlight, Lin Guimei felt unbearably cold.

She even felt a little unsteady on her feet.

Now that all the relatives back home knew she was about to start working at Beauty Chant, and with this sudden turn of events...

How could she face those relatives with any dignity?

No.

It was unacceptable.

She could lose anything but not her position as manager of Beauty Chant.

With this in mind, Lin Guimei held tightly onto Gu Shufen’s hand, "Shufen, please think of a way for me, I really can’t afford to lose this job."

Gu Shufen’s face was a picture of helplessness, "Gui Mei, I’m just a small district manager after all."

At her words, Lin Guimei burst into tears.

Gu Shufen sighed and continued to comfort her, "Don’t cry, Gui Mei. You are so capable, wherever you work, you’ll be valued. There’s no need to fixate on Beauty Chant."

Gu Shufen spoke as if it were easy.

Other companies?

Could any of them compare with Beauty Chant?

She wanted to work at Beauty Chant!

She wanted to be the manager of Beauty Chant.

"Shufen, I’m begging you, I know you must have a way, right?" Lin Guimei cried as she looked at Gu Shufen.

Gu Shufen sighed again, "Gui Mei, you’re my best friend, and of course, I hope you can stay and work at Beauty Chant, that we can be colleagues, but I’m powerless, I really am! It’s all a decision made by the higher-ups!"

Lin Guimei kept crying.

Besides crying.

She couldn’t think of any other solution.

Gu Shufen went on, "Gui Mei, let me take you back, give me your car keys."

Given Lin Guimei’s current state, Gu Shufen was worried that she might have an accident if she drove.

Go back?

Upon hearing these words, Lin Guimei shook her head vehemently, "I’m not going back! I don’t want to go back! I’m going to Beauty Chant to complete the hiring process."

Right now, she truly had no face to go back home.

If she just went back like this, her mother-in-law would certainly make fun of her.

Those relatives would surely laugh at her too.

With no other choice, Gu Shufen had to contact Sun Dingbang to come and pick up Lin Guimei.

Sun Dingbang proved himself a good husband. After receiving the call from Gu Shufen, he rushed over without hesitation.

Seeing Sun Dingbang arrive, Gu Shufen finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Dingbang, it’s good that you’re here."

Lin Guimei had cried to the point of nearly fainting.

Sun Dingbang asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Gu Shufen briefly explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, Sun Dingbang’s brow furrowed slightly, "How could this happen? Didn’t Gui Mei tell me that the contract was signed?"

Since a contract had already been signed and now they were going back on their word, they ought to compensate Lin Guimei.

Sun Dingbang didn’t want his wife to be bullied for nothing.

Gu Shufen explained, "Dingbang, it’s not like what you’re thinking. Our company hasn’t officially signed a contract with Gui Mei, so there’s no question of breach of contract."

The contract only bore Lin Guimei’s signature.

It had no legal effect.

Supporting Lin Guimei, Sun Dingbang didn’t understand how things had taken such a sudden turn, but he knew that this wasn’t the time to discuss it, "You’ve been a great help today, Shufen. I’ll take Gui Mei home now."

Gu Shufen nodded, "You should head back. Be careful on the road."

"Yeah."

Sun Dingbang helped Lin Guimei into the car.

Even as she got into the car, Lin Guimei was still not reconciled.

Watching Sun Dingbang’s car slowly disappear into the distance, Gu Shufen heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed that...

She would have to keep her distance from Lin Guimei in the future.

After all, her future was at stake.

Gu Shufen was a person who understood priorities.

**

Sun Dingbang soon brought Lin Guimei back home.

Today was an important day for Lin Guimei to complete her hiring process at Beauty Chant, and to celebrate, Mother Sun had prepared a table full of delicious food.

Hearing the door open, Mother Sun immediately went to greet them.

"Gui Mei is back."

As she looked up at her son, Mother Sun asked in surprise, "Dingbang? Why are you back? Don’t you have to work today?"

Following behind Sun Dingbang, Lin Guimei’s features no longer had the arrogance they used to, and upon seeing Mother Sun, she tried her best to muster a smile, "Mom."
