Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 327 The mysterious gift prepared by Yuan Xudong
The next day, Jiang Xiaoguo came to work at Pulin Capital. Seeing her carrying a Gucci bag and looking very happy, her colleagues looked at her strangely and talked about her privately. Just when Jiang Xiaoguo was confused and wanted to find someone she knew to ask what was going on, Judy pulled her into the tea room and whispered:
"Xiao Guo, do you know how much trouble you have brought to the company?"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that everyone knew, but he was the only one who didn't know what happened, Jiang Xiaoguo said nervously:
"Everyone is like this. They act as if they've seen a ghost when they see me. Did I do something wrong?"
"Did you meet Mr. Lei from Mosaic Company last Friday?"
"Yes, we had a good chat, didn't we?"
"But you pretended to be Sister Xiaorong to contact him, right?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo didn't say anything, Judy continued:
"They have already discovered that Mosaic has clearly rejected our investment intention. Of course they will be angry about such impolite business behavior. Now Mr. Zhou is apologizing to Mr. Lei. When he comes back, you should think about how to explain it to him!"
"Xiao Guo, come here!"
Yang Xiaorong shouted at the door of the tea room, glanced at Judy, and pulled Jiang Xiaoguo out of the tea room, saying nervously:
"Xiao Guo, think about it again. What went wrong when you were negotiating with Mr. Lei that day?"
"It shouldn't be like that, everything is going well!"
Unable to figure out what went wrong, Jiang Xiaoguo looked up at Yang Xiaorong and said in a depressed mood:
"Sister Xiaorong, I'm sorry, I really can't figure out what went wrong!"
"It's okay. It's too late to say anything now!"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't figure out what went wrong, Yang Xiaorong held her shoulders and comforted her:
"I'll figure out a way to deal with this matter, don't worry, okay?"
"Okay, thank you Sister Xiaorong!"
"Well, go back to work first, I'll call you if there's anything else!"
"Okay, I'll go back first. Sister Xiaorong, bye!"
"Well, bye!"
Watching Jiang Xiaoguo turn and leave, the smile on Yang Xiaorong's face gradually faded. She stood there for a while, and then walked towards Zhou Xun's president's office. She was responsible for this matter, and when Zhou Xun came back from Mosaic Company, he would definitely hold her accountable as soon as possible. At this point, she could only try to save herself. As for Jiang Xiaoguo, she was just an intern at Pulin Capital. There was nothing to regret even if she lost this job. She was still young, and she could just find another similar job.
About an hour later, Zhou Xun came back from Mosaic Company and chatted with Yang Xiaorong in the office for a while. Then he asked someone to call Jiang Xiaoguo in. Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo and Yang Xiaorong standing side by side in front of his desk, Zhou Xun twirled his pen and said:
"Explain, what's wrong with you?"
"Boss Zhou, this matter is mainly my fault. At that time, I..."
"Boss Zhou, I have to take responsibility for this matter!"
Without waiting for Jiang Xiaoguo to finish her words, Yang Xiaorong interrupted her and said:
"That day, I was not feeling well, so I wanted Xiaoguo to reschedule with Mr. Lei. However, I didn't expect Xiaoguo to impersonate me on her own initiative. I was not thorough enough in this matter!"
"Sister Xiaorong!"
Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaorong would explain to Mr. Zhou in this way, putting all the responsibility on herself. Jiang Xiaoguo looked at her in disbelief. Sister Xiaorong, who was so amiable before, suddenly became so mean and strange.
Glancing at Jiang Xiaoguo, as if afraid that she would expose him, Yang Xiaorong quickly explained to Zhou Xun:
"Boss Zhou, Xiaoguo has no ill intentions. She just wants to do this job well. She was like this when she checked her emails before, and she was also like this when she was doing the onboarding presentation. She is just anxious to be seen by others. I think..."
"That's enough. What does the investment circle value most?"
Looking at Yang Xiaorong and Jiang Xiaoguo who were trying to shirk responsibility, Zhou Xun said coldly:
"Reputation, either be down to earth or do something shabby , be clean and neat. If you are reported and exposed, you will not only lose face for yourself, but also for the entire Pulin. I like smart people and hate stupid people, but there is one kind of people that I hate more than stupid people, and that is people who like to be smart. All right, all of you go out and close the door!"
"Okay, Mr. Zhou!"
…
After leaving the CEO's office, Jiang Xiaoguo walked in front and waited for Yang Xiaorong. When Yang Xiaorong came to her side, Jiang Xiaoguo stopped her and said:
"Why do you want to do this?"
"Because, I can't lose this job. I told you, a mother is willing to do anything for her children!"
Glancing at Jiang Xiaoguo, Yang Xiaorong directly played the emotional card and said:
"Xiao Guo, you are still young and you will have plenty of opportunities in the future, but it's different for me. I am already in my thirties and I am pregnant. I finally got the position of investment director and I can't lose it because I can't afford it. Can you understand me?"
"I can't understand. True motherly love is great and selfless, and it doesn't burn people. You are just using the guise of motherly love to cover up yourself!"
Looking at Yang Xiaorong, who is completely different from her mother, one speaks vulgarly, has no culture, is greedy for vanity, petty, likes to show off to others, but sets an example and teaches her daughter from an early age that she can be careless about small matters, but must uphold the big principles; the other one looks bright and beautiful on the outside and has received higher education, but is hypocritical and uses her unborn child as a shield and amulet. It is obvious which one is superior and which one is inferior. Naturally, Jiang Xiaoguo does not agree with Yang Xiaorong's motherly love that is shrouded in selfishness and ugliness.
"Xiaoguo, you are still very young. When you have your own children in the future, you will truly understand me now. Write it down on paper. Of course, mother's love is great and selfless. Just like you said, it only makes people feel warm, not burn. But is it really so?"
Smiling, Yang Xiaorong looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and shook his head slightly:
"In my opinion, maternal love is great, but also selfish. As I said, mothers are willing to do anything for their children. To give an inappropriate example, if their children commit crimes, how many mothers in the world are willing to send their children to prison or even sentence them to death?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo stopped talking, Yang Xiaorong also stopped talking. The two separated and went to their respective workstations. An hour ago, they were good friends who were in the same boat, but an hour later, they were strangers. The relationship between people, from momentary touching to betrayal, is often difficult even for the parties themselves to predict.
…
As night fell and a day's work was over, Jiang Xiaoguo returned to the dormitory dejectedly and pushed open the door weakly:
"I'm back!"
"Xiao Guo, you're back!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo coming back, Duan Jiabao leaned back in his chair and said with a smile:
"My mom's WeChat name is no longer Pingchangxin, she changed it to Xinghua. What's your mom's WeChat name now? She's still called Juanjie. Has she changed it?"
"No!"
Looking at Duan Jiabao and shaking his head slightly, Jiang Xiaoguo sat in her seat and began to daydream. The Mosaic project was messed up, and Yang Xiaorong pushed all the main responsibilities onto her. Plus, she was just an insignificant intern. Jiang Xiaoguo felt that she was finished and there was no way to escape this time!
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo sitting there in a daze, Duan Jiabao approached Luo Yan and said:
"Shitou, what's your mom's WeChat name?"
"Hello, Lawyer Wei, she has never changed her WeChat name and has used it for many years!"
"sharp!"
The whole dormitory asked this question, except for Liang Shuang. Duan Jiabao looked at her and said:
"Liang Shuang, your mother..."
"Good luck in opening the door!"
"What?"
"Good luck! She has never changed her WeChat name!"
Turning around and looking at Duan Jiabao, Liang Shuang said directly:
"Isn't that what you wanted to ask?"
"Yes, you are awesome!"
The dormitory was quiet for a while. Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo sitting there doing nothing and saying nothing, she looked like she had lost her soul. Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan looked at each other in surprise, then surrounded her and asked with concern:
"Xiao Guo, what's wrong with you?"
"Yeah, your phone was stolen?"
"No, there are surveillance cameras everywhere now, who would dare to steal a cell phone?"
Jiang Xiaoguo rolled his eyes at Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan, and said in frustration:
"But it's almost the same. My phone wasn't stolen, but my job is about to be stolen. I may be unemployed!"
"ah?"
"What's going on?"
Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan were shocked to hear Jiang Xiaoguo say that she might lose her job. Liang Shuang also looked over curiously. Jiang Xiaoguo was about to explain when her cell phone rang. It was Jiang Xiaoguo's cell phone. She took it out of her Gucci bag and took a look. It turned out to be a call from Yuan Xudong. Although she was in a bad mood, Jiang Xiaoguo still answered the phone and forced a smile:
"Xiao Dongzi, it's so late, why are you calling me?"
"My wife is so busy at work, how can I find her if I don't call her so late?"
"You are the only one who can speak. I forgive you!"
"Thank you, Lord Xiaoguo, for your magnanimity. I deserve to die. Please grant me the death penalty!"
"Shut up and speak human language!"
Seeing Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan standing around to laugh at her, and unable to drive them away, Jiang Xiaoguo blushed slightly and said angrily:
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"I'm downstairs, come down!"
"what?"
"I have something to say. I'm waiting for you downstairs. Please come down quickly. I'm going to hang up first. Bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After the call ended, Jiang Xiaoguo stood up from the chair, pushed away Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan who were surrounding her, blushed slightly and said shyly:
"Go away, I have to go on a date. It depends on my mood whether I will come back tonight. Bye!"
"sharp!"
"Xiao Guo, good job, keep going, and completely subdue him!"
Amid the teasing of Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan, Jiang Xiaoguo walked to the sink, fixed her hair a little in front of the mirror on the wall, smoothed her bangs, and then ran downstairs with a flushed face.
When she walked out of the girls' dormitory, she didn't see Yuan Xudong's white Maserati, but saw a white Tesla electric car. She immediately had some guesses in her mind. She walked to the electric car lightly and saw Yuan Xudong hiding inside, lying on the seat. Although she was not in a good mood, seeing Yuan Xudong's childish behavior, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help laughing:
"Come out, what are you doing hiding in there? Are you trying to scare me?"
"That's amazing. You discovered all this?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo's voice, Yuan Xudong walked out of the Tesla and said with a smile.
Seeing that he was such a grown man, but was still playing hide-and-seek with her, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said:
"Childish, is that interesting?"
"Don't you like this?"
After getting out of the car and walking to Jiang Xiaoguo's side, Yuan Xudong hugged her and pressed her against the door of the Tesla, jokingly saying:
"A man will only behave like a child in front of a woman he likes. The same principle applies to you women. If you like me, you will also like my childishness like a young and ignorant little girl. Do you think I am right?"
"wrong!"
Being embraced by Yuan Xudong, with the Tesla door behind him, Jiang Xiaoguo had no way to avoid it or retreat. She could only look at Yuan Xudong evasively and said:
"You're not acting like a child, you're just like a child, with an IQ of just over three years old, isn't that right?"
"I hate it most when people insult my intelligence. The last person who said that was beaten to death by me. Do you want to die?"
"I just told you that you have a low IQ, and you hit me?"
"Do you think I won't hit you?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo's provocative eyes, Yuan Xudong raised a wicked smile. Before Jiang Xiaoguo could react, he turned her over and made her lie face down on the body of the Tesla. Then he gently patted her butt twice and said:
"You asked me to beat you, don't be angry!"
"You, you bastard!"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong actually spanked her butt, although it was not very harmful, it was extremely insulting. She felt that the female students walking nearby were laughing at her. Jiang Xiaoguo's face suddenly turned red. She turned around and threw herself into Yuan Xudong's arms, angrily saying:
"You big bad guy, you annoying guy, you really hit me!"
"Angry?"
Playing is playing, making noise is making noise, seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo was really angry, Yuan Xudong hugged her in his arms and coaxed her:
"Okay, don't be angry. I'll give you this Tesla electric car as an apology. Please forgive me, okay?"
"don't want!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo's red face, Yuan Xudong held her in his arms while opening the car door. He took out a bunch of roses and a long gift box and gave them to her.
" Okay, this is my greatest sincerity. If you still don't forgive me, then I can only..."
Jiang Xiaoguo took the roses and the long gift box from Yuan Xudong, and seeing that he didn't continue, she couldn't help but ask curiously:
"What else can we do?"
"I have no choice but to leave you here. I'm going to walk away by myself. Are you afraid?"
“Don’t be afraid!”
Jiang Xiaoguo rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong, then covered her mouth with the roses and gift box and chuckled:
"I accept the gift with pleasure. You can leave now. I don't want it!"
"Let's go!"
After glaring at Jiang Xiaoguo, Yuan Xudong turned and left. He had prepared another similar gift. If Jiang Xiaoguo asked him to stay, he would stay and eat the food. If Jiang Xiaoguo didn't ask him to stay, he would ask Liang Shuang out for meat. It was perfect!
Seeing Yuan Xudong leave, Jiang Xiaoguo was dumbfounded as she saw him walking further and further away with no intention of turning back. Really, he was just like a child, with a temper that came and went as he pleased. Thinking this in her heart, Jiang Xiaoguo still chased after him with the red roses and the long gift box, hugged Yuan Xudong from behind, and complained with her face against his back:
"Really? Why are you like this? Just leave like that?"
Being persuaded by Jiang Xiaoguo to stay, Yuan Xudong stopped, turned around and looked at her, pretending to be confused:
"Well, the car has been given to you, the flowers have been given to you, and you have taken the gift, so why should I stay?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who was a little confused, Yuan Xudong pretended to be innocent and said:
"It's so late, and I have to go to work tomorrow. I'm going back to sleep. Don't you want to sleep?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong, who suddenly became as white as white cotton, Jiang Xiaoguo knew that he was teasing her again. She gritted her teeth and said viciously:
"Go back to bed, good night!"
After that, without waiting for Yuan Xudong to respond, she turned and left, ready to go back to the dormitory to sleep. However, before she had taken two steps, Yuan Xudong caught up with her from behind, hugged her and walked towards the Tesla electric car, saying with a smile:
"Let's go, let's stay at a hotel, how about Lan Xi Boutique?"
"don't want!"
"That won't do. You've accepted so many gifts from me, so you have to listen to me from now on!"
“I don’t want to listen!”
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo, who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, Yuan Xudong kissed her twice on the cheek, then carried her into the electric car and let her sit in the passenger seat. Yuan Xudong got in from the other side door. Unlike Liang Shuang, when Yuan Xudong got in, Jiang Xiaoguo had already fastened her seat belt by herself, so Yuan Xudong didn't need to help her. Seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong drove towards the Lanxi Boutique Hotel, glanced at Jiang Xiaoguo and said with a smile:
"Xiao Guo, you're pretty quick!"
"What?"
"Seat belt, you don't even need me to help you fasten it, you fastened it yourself, haha!"
"Don't laugh!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong making fun of her, Jiang Xiaoguo glared at him while holding the roses and the long gift box and said angrily:
"You're so annoying!"
"Stop laughing, stop laughing!"
The car was quiet for a while, and Jiang Xiaoguo took out the long gift box and asked curiously:
"What's in it?"
As she spoke, Jiang Xiaoguo was about to pull the bow tied to the gift box and wanted to open it to take a look. Yuan Xudong quickly stopped her and said:
"Don't open it yet, open it when we get to the hotel!"
"So mysterious?"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Jiang Xiaoguo did not continue to open the gift box. She just shook it gently in her hand. Unfortunately, there was no sound, so she naturally could not guess what was inside. She could only look at Yuan Xudong and tentatively said:
"Is that a necklace inside?"
"you guess?"
