Chapter 244 Tong Shili Treats Everyone (1)
She knocked on Fisher's office door and asked him what to do about the documents that Meng Xinyu had locked up.
Fisher handed her a few more copies: "I'll tell Meng Xinyu to come and pack her things this afternoon. As for your assistant, do you have a suitable candidate?"
Yan Zuozuo thought about it and felt that Cai Keren was a good candidate. However, Cai Keren was also a designer, and having her as her assistant would be a waste of her talent, and she might not even be willing. After a pause, she said, "Let me think about it, and I'll talk to the director when I think of someone suitable."
Fisher nodded, her gaze intense. "After you went back last night, did President Chi give you any trouble?"
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. She felt that Fisher was paying too much attention to her private life and that his attitude was too...strange. This was very different from the Fisher she knew before.
Although she had warned him repeatedly, Fisher continued to do as he pleased. Various rumors circulated in the company, but Fisher seemed not to care at all, and even seemed to want those rumors to spread widely.
She had never been a good communicator, and Fisher's actions had put her in the spotlight, leaving her unsure how to explain things to her colleagues.
After taking the documents, she walked irritably toward the office. When she was almost at the door, she saw Qin Yun standing there, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time. His lips were upturned, and he had a half-smile on his face, which made Yan Zuozuo very uncomfortable.
"Did the deputy director want to see me?" Yan Zuozuo walked up to her and asked.
Qin Yun smiled, her eyes full of mockery as she looked at Yan Zuozuo. "Are you sure you want me to say this here?"
Sensing the unfriendly aura emanating from Qin Yun, Yan Zuozuo lowered her eyes and opened the office door. "Come in."
Cai Keren happened to have something to discuss with Yan Zuozuo when she saw Qin Yun enter Yan Zuozuo's office with ill intentions. She frowned slightly, knowing that Qin Yun and Meng Xinyu had a good relationship. Could it be that Qin Yun was looking for Yan Zuozuo to avenge Meng Xinyu?
Unfortunately, the office door was closed, and she couldn't hear what they were saying.
In the office, Qin Yun looked at Yan Zuozuo with a mocking smile on his lips. "Miss Yan was quite the star last night. Not only did she ruin Xinyu, but she also made countless women extremely jealous."
Yan Zuozuo glanced at her coldly: "Deputy Director, just say what you want to say directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Since she had already sent the recording to her phone, she didn't believe that the person who came in was there to discuss business or just to chat.
"Miss Yan is really straightforward. Speaking of which, I'm very curious about Miss Yan. What charm does she have that makes men fall head over heels for her?" Qin Yun's face revealed a hint of jealousy.
"You flatter me, Deputy Director. You didn't come all this way just to praise me, did you?"
"Praise you?" Qin Yun sneered. "Miss Yan really thinks too highly of herself. You hurt Xinyu so badly, and you expect me to praise you?"
Yan Zuozuo's eyes darkened: "What does the deputy director mean?"
"What do I mean?" Qin Yun took out his phone and waved it in front of her. "Yan Zuozuo, you should know what's on my phone, right? This is a huge secret you can't let anyone see. I suppose President Chi doesn't know yet?"
Yan Zuozuo's heart clenched, and she clenched her fists. It seemed that Qin Yun had come to declare war on her.
"Tell me your purpose," she said coldly.
"Yan Zuozuo, you should know very well that once this recording is leaked, not only will your reputation be ruined, but President Chi and Young Master Ou will also be implicated. Don't you care at all?"
Yan Zuozuo sneered: "What does this have to do with the deputy director?"
"It has nothing to do with me, but it is related to Xinyu and the director, so of course I have to take care of it."
Yan Zuozuo remained silent for a long while before slowly saying, "So, what do you mean?"
Qin Yun smiled smugly: "Two months, divorce President Chi, and completely disappear from this city. Neither Fischer nor President Chi are allowed to contact them again!"
As expected, this person came with ill intentions. This way, she could both fulfill her relationship with Fisher and help Meng Xinyu get Chi Moqing, making Meng Xinyu owe her a huge favor. It has to be said, this woman is truly cunning!
Yan Zuozuo felt a pang of pain in her heart: "What if I don't agree?"
Qin Yun raised an eyebrow: "Then don't blame me for giving the recording to President Chi. Besides, neither President Chi nor Young Master Ou has anything to do with me. I'll hand it over to the media later, Miss Yan. Guess what the result will be?"
That's a really vicious trick!
Qin Yun is different from Meng Xinyu. Meng Xinyu is related to Chi Moqing, so she naturally wouldn't dare to publish the photos. But Qin Yun has no connection with either of them. All she wants is to get Fisher, and she doesn't even care about ruining others. As for her, now that someone has leverage over her, it seems she can only let herself be manipulated.
Yan Zuozuo clenched her fist, suppressing her anger. "Are you threatening me?"
"It's not a threat, I just hope you can think it through. I believe Miss Yan is a sensible person."
Yan Zuozuo stared intently at Qin Yun. This woman was more cunning and ruthless than Meng Xinyu. She believed that Qin Yun was a woman of her word, and if Yan Zuozuo did not agree, she might actually release the recording.
She pursed her lips, just about to speak, when her phone rang. It was a text message from Chi Moqing: Let's have lunch together.
Yan Zuozuo unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth slightly and quickly replied: Okay.
Seeing her expression, Qin Yun sneered, "President Chi?"
"It's none of your business!" Yan Zuozuo's face darkened.
"Are you sure?" Qin Yun raised an eyebrow and said with a sneer, "Yan Zuozuo, don't forget, you're the one who needs my help right now. If you anger me, we'll see who's really in trouble!"
“I don’t know if I’ll be unlucky or not, but if I tell either Fisher or Young Master Ou about your threats to me today, I think the one who will be unlucky will definitely be you, Deputy Director.” Yan Zuozuo narrowed her cold eyes and saw Qin Yun’s expression change. She snorted coldly, “Do you think Meng Xinyu is only afraid to release the photos because she cares about the Chi family’s reputation? Let me tell you the same thing, if you push me too far, I don’t care if we both die!”
"You!" Qin Yun hadn't expected Yan Zuozuo to be so difficult. She narrowed her eyes and said hatefully, "Don't you even care about President Chi's reputation?"
“Of course I have to take care of you. But I’m wondering, if I tell Fisher or Young Master Ou about what happened today, do you think you can spread the news faster, or they can secretly take you out faster?” Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow at her.
Qin Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he stared intently at Yan Zuozuo, "You dare?"
"I've already said, if you push me too far, there's nothing I wouldn't dare to do. So, Deputy Director, you'd better watch yourself. I'm not an ant you can just crush!"
Qin Yun's face turned ashen with anger. She hadn't expected that her threat to Yan Zuozuo would backfire, and she was now being threatened by her instead. She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, saying, "You can make a bet with me. If you don't completely disappear from our sight within two months, then you can expect to destroy everyone!"
Qin Yun spoke through gritted teeth, but Yan Zuozuo merely looked at her indifferently, leaving Qin Yun feeling uncertain. Just like Yan Zuozuo, she was also gambling, betting on who would have the last laugh.
Just as the two were on the verge of a confrontation, there was a knock on the office door, and Cai Keren's voice came from outside, "Team leader, the director is looking for you, could you open the door?"
Fisher is looking for her?
Yan Zuozuo glanced at Qin Yun, got up to open the door, and saw Fisher and Cai Keren walk in.
Fisher glanced at Qin Yun with a cold expression: "What are you doing here?"
"I've come to discuss business with Miss Yan. What, does the director need to come in person to discuss business with Miss Yan? How approachable." Qin Yun said with a hint of envy.
Fisher's eyes flickered: "In my mind, all designers are equal, there's no question of them being approachable. It's the deputy director who has a problem with his thinking. What, in your mind, are you superior to them?"
Qin Yun's expression changed; she hadn't expected Fisher to put her in such an awkward position. She pursed her lips and said, "The director is right; it was my fault."
Fisher didn't speak, but turned to Yan Zuozuo and said, "It's almost time to get off work. When I came up, I saw President Chi was already waiting downstairs. Shili said she's treating everyone today, so why don't we all get together? After all, you missed the last two times."
Tong Shili?
Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat as she recalled the scene of Tong Shili and Chi Moqing together last night. She knew she should refuse, but she also wanted to see Tong Shili, and inexplicably agreed.
Qin Yun stood to the side, pursed his lips, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
As Yan Zuozuo came downstairs, she happened to see Chi Moqing getting out of his car. She quickly walked over, a smile on her face, and asked, "Have you been waiting long?"
Chi Moqing reached out and hugged her, placing a kiss on her forehead. "No, I just arrived." He then led Yan Zuozuo to the car and asked, "What do you want for lunch?"
Yan Zuozuo bit her lip, glancing at Chi Moqing somewhat guiltily, "Honey, um... can we discuss something?"
Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "Go on."
"When I came downstairs just now, the director said that Ms. Tong Shili was treating us to dinner and hoped we could go together. So..."
Upon hearing Tong Shili's name, Chi Moqing's expression darkened, but he quickly reached out and pulled Yan Zuozuo into his arms again, then said, "You agreed?"
"Ms. Tong is an internationally renowned women's fashion designer. I admire her very much, so I wanted to meet her..." Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke. Compared to Tong Shili, she seemed to have nothing to offer, and a bitter feeling welled up inside her.
Where should we meet?
"Chu Fenglou".
Chi Moqing's eyes flickered slightly: "Since my wife wants to meet her idol, I have no choice but to reluctantly agree."
Yan Zuozuo's eyes darkened, and a strange pain welled up in her heart.
Chu Feng Lou is just two streets away from Fan Hua Design, located in the most bustling part of the city center. The overall structure is uniformly simple and rustic, shaped like an ancient ship. The interior decoration is also decorated in the style of an old ship, which is very simple and unique, making people feel like they have returned to an ancient ship.
As soon as they entered, a waiter came to lead the way. After giving their name, Tong Shili, they were quickly taken to a private room.
When Tong Shili saw them arrive, she quickly stood up to greet them, "You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for ages. Latecomers have to drink three cups of wine as a penalty."
Everyone smiled and walked over. Even the chairs and tables were modeled after the interior of a ship's cabin. Small parts of ship structures, such as sails and oars, hung on the walls, which seemed novel to them.
"Ladies first, Mrs. Chi, please order first." After everyone was seated, Tong Shili said with a smile.
Yan Zuozuo harbored resentment towards her, but when faced with Tong Shili's generous and poised smile, she felt that she was being petty. Was it possible that Tong Shili and Chi Moqing were really just friends, and that she was overthinking things?
She lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat inferior in front of Tong Shili, her mind a jumble of emotions.
