Chapter 156: Chapter 0156 She’s Been Poisoned

What else could be done? They reported the HR manager’s misdeeds and even brought it to the attention of the chairman!

"Place your resignation letters on my desk tomorrow morning." Losing any desire to tease them further, Chu Ge spoke indifferently, then quickly finished the remaining food in his bowl.

Zhang Chengsheng opened his mouth but ultimately didn’t utter a word. He just looked at the two of them woodenly, then turned and left the interview room, walking out like a soulless specter.

The two interviewers felt somehow guilty, so instead of leaving after Zhang Chengsheng entered, they secretly pressed their ears against the door crack to eavesdrop. Seeing Zhang Chengsheng come out looking utterly devastated, they exchanged a glance but said nothing.

Zhang Cheng didn’t feel like speaking at the moment, while Zhang Zhiyuan was slightly better off, his eyes glazed over as he acknowledged the interviewers with a nod as if to say hello.

Soon after Zhang Chengsheng departed, Chu Ge and Mu Bingtong also emerged from the room. The two interviewers quickly greeted them: "President Mu, Manager Chu!"

"It’s you two?" Chu Ge glanced at them and chuckled, "Didn’t you leave already? Why have you come back?"

"Oh, we forgot something in the interview room." One of the interviewers hastily replied, signaling to his colleague with a look, and the two quietly entered the interview room.

Given Chu Ge’s abilities, he was naturally aware of their eavesdropping but chose not to point it out, as it was a harmless little matter. After watching them go, he left the building with Mu Bingtong.

They walked in silence.

Having eaten dinner at the company, they returned home a bit late. By the time they arrived at the villa, the evening lights had just begun to shine.

Shen Yaoyao, that girl, had already had dinner outside after receiving a call from Mu Bingtong. She was now lying on the sofa clutching a giant plush toy and watching TV.

Seeing Chu Ge return, Shen Yaoyao jumped up: "Brother-in-law, come clean with me, do you have another woman outside?"

Mu Bingtong paused in her movements, putting on an indifferent expression, but the tightly clenched hand and her pale knuckles betrayed the turmoil inside her.

"Another woman?" Chu Ge was stunned by Shen Yaoyao’s question, looking bewildered as he said, "How should I put it? I’m still a damn virgin!"

Hearing Chu Ge’s words, Mu Bingtong blushed, letting out a light spit, yet she suddenly felt much more at ease.

Shen Yaoyao, observing Chu Ge’s genuine appearance, scratched her head and muttered doubtfully, "Strange, could I have misunderstood?"

"What exactly happened?" Finally, Mu Bingtong glared and directly asked.

Shen Yaoyao scrutinized Chu Ge from head to toe with a judging gaze before saying, "Just now, a beautiful woman named Ouyang Die came looking for you, brother-in-law. She seemed desperate, and when I told her you weren’t here, she said she would go directly to Jinxiu Group. She knew so much about you; there must be something going on between you two!"

"Ouyang Die?" Chu Ge ignored Shen Yaoyao’s wild guesses, frowned slightly, and murmured a few sentences.

She was no ordinary woman. Her background alone ensured that her actions must have some special reasons behind them—perhaps it wasn’t personal at all but related to the entire Ouyang family!

Mu Bingtong’s face also flashed a thoughtful look. Little Shen Yaoyao might not know, but she understood crystal clear that Ouyang Die was Mr. Ouyang’s granddaughter, a true lady of the family!

"Right."

Chu Ge suddenly took out his phone, which he had turned off during the interview for convenience. As soon as he turned it on, dozens of missed calls appeared on the screen, all from Ouyang Die!

Just as Chu Ge was about to return the call, Ouyang Die’s phone call came through once again.

"Is it an emergency?" Chu Ge made a "shush" gesture to Shen Yaoyao, then pressed the answer button.

"Mr. Chu, you finally answered the phone!" There was a sob-like tone in Ouyang Die’s voice from the other end, which caught Chu Ge off guard.

This girl had always struck him as cheerful and optimistic, and after several encounters, he knew that though Ouyang Die seemed like an ordinary sunny girl on the surface, she possessed a resilience far beyond her peers.

"There’s no time to explain. Where are you right now?" Ouyang Die’s voice sounded very anxious, and at the same time, Chu Ge noticed that there seemed to be a lack of breath in her tone, giving a sense of weakness.

Chu Ge glanced at Mu Bingtong and said, "I’m at the villa."

"Please wait, I’ll be right there!" Ouyang Die hung up directly after speaking, which seemed somewhat impolite, but it also confirmed that she must be in dire straits.

Mu Bingtong stood by until Chu Ge hung up, then tentatively asked, "What happened?"

"I have a premonition that something bad might happen." Chu Ge frowned slightly, shook his head, and said softly, "I can’t guess what it is just yet, but I suspect it involves the entire Ouyang family. Otherwise, Ouyang Die wouldn’t seem so anxious."

"The entire Ouyang family..."

Mu Bingtong’s heart tightened. As a member of Shanghai’s upper class, she naturally understood what the surname represented.

"Yaoyao, you should go upstairs to sleep. You have to get up early for school tomorrow." Mu Bingtong was indeed a considerate woman; after contemplating for just a second or two, she turned to Shen Yaoyao, who was sitting on the sofa ready to enjoy the drama, and issued the sleeping order.

"Huh?" Shen Yaoyao pouted unhappily, looking at Mu Bingtong and saying, "Sister Mu, I’m quite curious about what it could be. Besides, Ouyang Die said she’d be here soon, let me see!"

Ignoring Shen Yaoyao’s plea, Mu Bingtong said nothing but just looked at her, then extended her hand toward the direction of the staircase.

"Okay, fine, I’ll go to sleep!" Shen Yaoyao sighed, hugged her plush toy, and walked upstairs.

"Do you need any help?" After seeing Shen Yaoyao go up, Mu Bingtong looked at Chu Ge and asked softly.

"It’s okay, you should rest." Chu Ge gave her a reassuring smile and then stood at the doorway, staring into the darkness beyond.

Mu Bingtong had a look like she wanted to say more, but in the end, she said nothing. However, as she went upstairs, she suddenly said, "Don’t overdo it!"

"Hmm?" A warm surge suddenly rose in Chu Ge’s heart; perhaps, this was also the cleverness of Mu Bingtong.
