Chapter 357 Warning 1
Yan Zuozuo felt a warmth in her heart, reached out and hugged Chi Moqing, pressed her face against his chest, and listened to his steady heartbeat. "Husband, you have done so much for me, and it seems like I have done nothing for you. Promise me that I will do something for you, and you are not allowed to refuse."
Chi Moqing met her bright, sparkling eyes, the tenderness in them almost sickening. He gently placed his large hand on her small one and said softly, "Okay."
"Then let's pinky swear, so you won't go back on your word." As she spoke, she extended her little finger and smiled mischievously at him.
Although Chi Moqing smiled helplessly, he still pinky-swore with her, his heart filled with warmth and happiness. Seeing that Yan Zuozuo's mouth was covered in food, he took a tissue to wipe it for her and said affectionately, "Eat slowly."
After dinner, Chi Moqing returned to his study to handle some matters. Sitting in his seat, he tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. Soon after, his phone rang. It was Lu Yaoyuan calling. "Are you sure you only want me to give you a warning?"
"Just do as I say." After saying that, Chi Moqing reeled in the line. Mi Xuer was just bait; he wanted to catch the bigger fish behind her and wipe it out in one fell swoop!
Lu Yaoyuan felt like he had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have met Chi Moqing. Every time he piqued Chi Moqing's interest, Chi Moqing would fall silent. He slammed the phone down on the table and muttered in frustration, "Damn it!"
Not long after, Mi Xuer walked nervously into the director's office. Not seeing Lu Yaoyuan, she felt a pang of anxiety. Lu Yaoyuan had just called her on the internal line, but she was in the women's clothing department, completely unrelated to their men's clothing division. What did Lu Yaoyuan want with her?
She clenched her fist, sat down across the desk, and waited quietly. But after a while, Lu Yuanyao still hadn't appeared, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. What did he want to see her about?
She nervously fidgeted with her fingers, wondering whether she should leave, when she saw Lu Yaoyuan come in from outside. "Excuse me, something happened just now, I went to take care of it. What would you like to drink, coffee?"
Mi Xuer quickly stood up and smiled, "No need to trouble yourself." To be honest, she was quite flattered to receive a call from Lu Yuanyao, after all, he was a senior executive of the entire company, and she had been excited for quite a while.
Lu Yaoyuan nodded: "Sit down."
Upon seeing Shang Luyao's handsome face, Mi Xuer blushed instantly. Marrying a rich and handsome man had always been her dream. She considered herself good-looking, but fate had played a cruel trick on her.
Lu Yaoyuan made coffee for the two of them and placed a cup in front of her. Mi Xuer lowered her eyes shyly, and Lu Yaoyuan didn't say anything, just quietly looked at her, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
It has to be said that there are just too many foolish people in this world. They have great opportunities but don't know how to seize them, instead choosing to take crooked and dishonest paths, only to end up losing more than they gain.
Lu Yaoyuan grew increasingly angry with Mi Xuer. He took a sip of coffee and calmed himself before saying, "Ms. Mi, you're new to Fan Hua Design, so you might not be familiar with some of the company rules. I'd like to take this opportunity to have a brief chat with you about them."
In truth, Lu Yaoyuan had no idea why Chi Moqing had repeatedly told him to speak politely, given that Mi Xuer was a traitor who betrayed her sister-in-law. If it were up to him, he would have told her to pack her bags and get out long ago, to go home and eat his own food.
Mi Xuer was taken aback, not quite understanding what Lu Yaoyuan meant. "What rules and regulations?"
"For example, Fan Hua Design is like a family. In this big family, everyone is a brother or sister, and we should love and care for each other. If any disharmonious factors arise, there is only one outcome: you have to find another job!"
Mi Xuer stiffened, a sense of unease creeping into her heart, but she still feigned innocence, "I don't understand what Director Lu means."
Playing dumb?
Lu Yuanyao sneered: "I heard that Miss Mi and Gu Yunxi are old acquaintances, and they've been in frequent contact lately."
Mi Xuer looked at Lu Yaoyuan with a strange expression, unsure whether it was a warning or... jealousy?
Judging from the distance, it didn't seem like a warning. Could he really be jealous?!
The thought of this possibility made Mi Xuer blush even more, and she lowered her head, feeling even more embarrassed. "Director, how do you know these things, and why are you asking this?"
Seeing Mi Xuer like this, Lu Yaoyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes. She's really narcissistic.
"How I know is not important; what's important is what Miss Mi has been doing lately."
Mi Xuer finally realized something was wrong, and her hand on her lap suddenly tightened. "I don't know what Director Lu is trying to say."
"If I were to be too blunt today, it would be the day Miss Mi packs her bags and goes home. I believe Miss Mi is a sensible person and knows what to do, so I don't need to tell her, do I?"
Mi Xuer's heart skipped a beat as she stared at Lu Yaoyuan in disbelief.
Did he make her resign on her own initiative?
No, she absolutely couldn't do it!
She stood up angrily: "Why should I leave Fan Hua Design? I know Director Lu and the deputy director have a good relationship, but I haven't done anything wrong. You have no right to make me leave!"
No rights?
Lu Yaoyuan sneered: "I've already said that once I tell the truth, it will be the time when Miss Mi packs her bags and leaves. Are you sure you want me to say it?" This suited him perfectly. He didn't agree with Chi Moqing's gentle approach at all.
"Director Lu, don't try to scare me. Just say what you have to say. If you want me to leave Fan Hua Design, you need to give me a reason that I can accept." She finally managed to escape from that old man and had the opportunity to pursue happiness. Now you want her to give it up? Why should she?!
What a confident and assertive question!
"Why should I?" Lu Yaoyuan narrowed his eyes, asking with amusement, "I used to sympathize with you, but now it seems that a woman like you doesn't deserve any sympathy at all. You think everything is justified. You betrayed your family, abandoned your husband and children, and sold out your friends. A woman like you deserves to be unhappy."
"You!" Mi Xuer was furious that Lu Yaoyuan would be so sharp-tongued. Her face turned red with anger.
Lu Yaoyuan gave her a disdainful look and placed the recorder directly on the table. Perhaps feeling guilty, Mi Xuer didn't dare to open it and listen; intuitively, she felt that this recording file was not good.
Lu Yaoyuan raised an eyebrow: "Why don't you open it?"
Mi Xuer gritted her teeth, glared at Lu Yaoyuan, and then resolutely opened the door.
"Yunxi, I'm so scared, I'm really scared. Yan Zuozuo's husband is back..." The audio was long, but Mi Xuer only listened to a few sentences before hurriedly cutting it off, her face pale.
Oh my god, how could her call with Gu Yunxi have been recorded? She was completely panicked and didn't know what to do. "You, you... how could you have these..."
Lu Yuanyao gave a cold laugh: "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place!"
She thinks she can compete with Chi Moqing? She's overestimating herself.
Everyone only knows that Chi Moqing is the president of Chi Corporation, but they don't know that he also has the title of God of War. If he doesn't take action, fine, but once he does, the enemy will not have a chance to fight back!
"You're following me?" Mi Xuer retreated in terror, staring at Lu Yaoyuan in disbelief.
Lu Yaoyuan didn't even bother to roll his eyes. She was just an insignificant nobody; why would he need to follow her? She really didn't know her place!
“You’re not worthy of being followed. Since we’ve come this far, I still hope Miss Mi can save face and leave Fan Hua Design on her own initiative, otherwise…” Lu Yaoyuan’s meaning was very clear.
Actually, he wasn't unaware of Chi Moqing's intentions. Yan Zuozuo had treated Mi Xuer well, and if Yan Zuozuo knew that Mi Xuer had secretly betrayed her and intended to harm her, she would definitely be upset. Chi Moqing was merely minimizing the harm to Yan Zuozuo, but he had also let this selfish woman off easy.
Mi Xuer's eyes were filled with panic: "I don't know anything, I didn't do anything... You're framing me..."
"If Ms. Mi insists on thinking this way, we can take this document to the relevant department for authentication. However, once this matter is made public, it will not be as simple as Ms. Mi leaving Fan Hua Design."
Mi Xuer was struck dumb, trembling and unable to utter a word. Suddenly, as if she had gone mad, she grabbed the recording file from the table and threw it violently to the ground, stomping on it repeatedly.
Lu Yuan stared in disbelief. He'd seen plenty of crazy women, but rarely one this idiotic. Did she really think that just because she'd damaged the document, they had no backup?
One word: Stupid!
Mi Xuer stomped on the ground for a full five minutes, then suddenly looked up and roared, "Now there's nothing left, let's see how you'll frame me now!"
Lu Yaoyuan thought this woman was simply insane. He curled his lips slightly and said sarcastically, "This is just a backup. Miss Mi can step on as many as she wants."
Upon hearing this, Mi Xuer was stunned and looked at Lu Yaoyuan in panic.
Lu Yaoyuan shrugged, glanced at the recorder on the ground, and shook his head with a sigh, "Don't underestimate this little thing, it's quite expensive. It seems Miss Mi won't be able to collect her salary this month."
There's absolutely no need for gentlemanly manners with this kind of woman.
"I hope you've thought this through. I've given you face out of consideration for our past as colleagues. If you don't know what's good for you..." He tapped the table and seemingly wrote two words: Call the police.
Mi Xuer was so frightened that she felt weak all over, as if she had lost her soul, and walked outside in a daze.
Just leave like this?
But the thought of going back to face that old man, facing everyone's accusations and condemnations, and having a penniless home...
If she goes back like this, she may never have the chance to come out again.
No, she can't go back! She can't give up like this! All her dreams are here; she absolutely cannot let them all go to waste!
She still has Gu Yunxi, and she still has a bright future ahead of her.
As soon as Mi Xuer left, Lu Yaoyuan called Chi Moqing, "Things have been done as you instructed, but that woman is quite ungrateful. She even broke my recording pen, which was very valuable..."
The implication is: Shouldn't you give me some compensation?
"I understand, you go ahead with your work." Chi Moqing hung up the phone after saying that, leaving Lu Yaoyuan dumbfounded. Was he really that stingy? Who was he working so hard for?
