Chapter 740: Chapter 724: I Am Not a Slut 35
Xiao Tiantian was fired.
She couldnât accept it and wanted to confront Gu Kai about it, but she couldnât get into the company at all.
With no other options, Xiao Tiantian waited outside the company every early morning.
Finally, when Gu Kai arrived, she rushed over without any concerns.
Gu Kaiâs assistant tried to stop her, but Xiao Tiantian jumped up and attempted to grab someone.
Someone quickly called for security.
Gu Kai waved his hand: "Let her come over."
Xiao Tiantian approached him in just a few steps, and in front of Gu Kai, she seemed particularly righteous.
She believed that her dismissal was solely Secretary Zhaoâs idea and that Gu Kai must be unaware of it.
Moreover, she had taken care of Gu Kai for so many days with great effort; she had done him a favor, which surely Gu Kai should repay.
"President Gu, I was dismissed without cause, and I would like to know why. Secretary Zhao controls the secretariat, favors cronies, and treats us like..."
Gu Kai looked at Xiao Tiantian distorting the truth and couldnât help but let out a laugh, of course, with a strong sense of mockery in it.
"It was I who instructed Secretary Zhao to fire you."
"What?"
Xiao Tiantian hadnât finished complaining when she heard this, and she was stunned: "Why?"
Gu Kai said coldly: "You did personal business on company time, your abilities are limited, youâre not capable of doing the job, and you lack integrityâtell me, why would I not fire you? My company, Gu family, does not keep idlers. My employees must earn their salary with their capabilities, but you obviously canât."
He looked at Xiao Tiantian coldly: "If it wasnât for confirmation from East University, I would even doubt that your academic credentials are fake. I really donât understand how such an incompetent graduate could come out of the school."
After finishing his words, Gu Kai said to the security guards: "Get her out of here."
He didnât look back and entered the building with a group of assistants and bodyguards.
Xiao Tiantian watched Gu Kaiâs retreating figure dumbfounded: "Itâs not like that."
A few young and beautiful white-collar beauties passed by and looked at Xiao Tiantian with snickers: "If itâs not like that, then what is it? Canât you see that President Gu simply doesnât care about you?"
A woman with an incredibly good figure looked Xiao Tiantian up and down: "Aye, with your bean-sprout look, you still want to hook up with President Gu, how could that be possible?"
"And isnât that true, with neither the looks nor the figure and lacking work capabilities as well. I really wonder how you got your degree, whether you bribed someone to make a fake one, or maybe you cheated during the exams."
"Acting all high and mighty usually, but now youâre dumbstruck, huh? Really thought you were some Miss, doing no work and still getting wages. President Gu isnât running a charity, why would he support an idler like you?"
Those words struck into Xiao Tiantianâs heart, making her eyes redden.
"You donât know anything, on what grounds can you say such things about me, I saved..."
Xiao Tiantian ultimately didnât finish her sentence.
She was beginning to doubt whether Gu Kai had lost his memory, whether he had forgotten about their time together since leaving her home, otherwise, why would he be so cold and ruthless towards her.
Anning took Mrs. Jiang out for a stroll, watched a movie with her, brought Mrs. Jiang to get a beauty treatment, and bought two sets of clothes, only then did Mrs. Jiangâs mood improve.
When the two returned, Jiang Anan just happened to be coming home.
The three met at the doorway, and Jiang Anan called out guiltily: "Mom."
Mrs. Jiang sighed: "Letâs go in, weâll talk inside."
Once inside the house, Jiang Anan wanted to go to the kitchen to cook.
Mrs. Jiang stopped her: "Sit down, we need to talk properly."
Anning went to change her clothes: "Mom, let me cook."
She put on an apron and went into the kitchen to cook. Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Anan sat on the sofa chatting.
Mrs. Jiang asked Jiang Anan, "What are you planning to do about that matter? If youâre set on ending it, donât drag your feet. If you donât want to see him, break up over the phone. If youâre still angry, go to their school and beat him up, then make sure everyone knows about his cheating."
Jiang Ananâs eyes flickered indecisively for a while before she said, "Iâm still angry. Iâll go to their school tomorrow. I need everyone there to know what kind of person he is."
Anning, listening from the kitchen, poked her head out and asked, "Do you want my classmate to help? He can keep an eye on Zhou Chong. Whenever he sees him with that girl, heâll send you a Flying Messenger, and you can go there and expose Zhou Chong in front of that girl."
Jiang Anan thought for a moment, "Okay, that would be putting your classmate to trouble."
Anning smiled, "Itâs no trouble."
After finishing cooking, Anning went inside to call Xiao Yuan and recounted the whole matter to him, also asking him to have someone watch Zhou Chong.
Xiao Yuan readily agreed.
Even if Anning hadnât told him, he would have figured out a way to take revenge for the Jiang family.
After all, Jiang Anan was going to be his future aunt by marriage. Wanting to please his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, he needed to look out for Jiang Anan a bit.
Xiao Yuan had thought up countless ways to curry favor with his future father-in-law, it just wasnât the right time to implement them; he could only wait patiently.
He had raised a daughter himself and knew exactly what it felt like to be a father-in-law.
Every time he married off a daughter, he felt like giving his son-in-law a good beating. He just couldnât bear to part with his girl, so he really understood Mr. Jiangâs psychology.
Moreover, he was also sympathetic to the Jiang familyâs selective attitude towards Anningâs suitors.
Which family wouldnât pick carefully when it came to marrying off their cherished daughter? When he was looking for a son-in-law for his own daughter, he had been just as picky, almost to the point of holding a beauty contest. Compared to him, the Jiang familyâs scrutiny was nothing.
Hanging up the phone, Xiao Yuan tossed his phone on the bed and chuckled.
Exposing Zhou Chong wouldnât be enough; he wouldnât rest until heâd taken Zhou Chong down a peg.
But there was no rush; Zhou Chong still had a year until graduation. By that time, Xiao Yuan could easily block his job placement after graduation.
Did he really think he could deceive a decent girl and not pay the price? Xiao Yuan wanted to make him realize that the cost was something he couldnât afford.
That evening, when Mr. Jiang came home, Mrs. Jiang was still awake.
Mr. Jiang took a shower and lay on the bed. Mrs. Jiang looked at him, "Do you think our second daughter is dating someone?"
"Impossible?" Mr. Jiang turned over, "It doesnât look like it. Besides, if the second daughter really had a boyfriend, wouldnât she tell us?"
"I just feel sheâs hiding something from us."
Mrs. Jiang turned to face Mr. Jiang, "The second one isnât as stubborn as the eldest. Sheâs cunning, you remember how she tricked you out of the money. We saved for a lifetime, and she deceived you into giving it to her just like that. Now look, weâre short on money, and each of our three daughters has property. How can this girl be so shrewd?"
Mr. Jiang also felt Anning was too crafty, practically impossible to guard against.
"What can we do? We wonât get anything out of her if we ask."
Mr. Jiang didnât dare to ask Anning such a question; he knew he wouldnât get an answer, and he might end up being fooled by Anning again.
Mrs. Jiang was also apprehensive, "Who does our daughter take after?"
She slapped Mr. Jiang lightly, "Our daughters are not getting any younger, none of them have a serious relationship. Iâm really anxious. Today, Mrs. Sun bragged about how wonderful her son-in-law is. It made me feel really uncomfortable."
"Donât overthink it."
Mr. Jiang hugged Mrs. Jiang, "Our daughters are so good, they will definitely find good partners. The other day, Wu Fan brought Liu Fang back, and from the glance I got at him, he didnât look that great. Itâs only Mrs. Sun who thinks heâs good because he has money and property, sheâs blinded by wealth. Just wait, who knows what will happen in the future."
Mrs. Jiang sighed again, "I just canât help but worry. If our daughters pick someone with poor conditions, weâre afraid theyâll suffer. But if they pick someone too good, weâre afraid that person will look down on them and theyâll end up with an unhappy ending. Being a mother is so hard."
Is it not hard being a father?
Mr. Jiang felt it was difficult too. He had three unmarried daughters, and he was also desperately worried. Now, whenever he went out and saw a good young man, he wanted to inquire about his family background.
Mr. Jiang also sighed deeply, "Children have their own fortunes; we canât control so much."
