Gu Susu thought helplessly that Xiao Yongmei's life must have been a case of misdirected devotion.
But she felt content to be able to stay in such a place, whether alive or after death. She asked Qin Tianyi, "If I die, can I be buried by this sea?"
Qin Tianyi was slightly taken aback, and replied irritably, "As long as you are my wife, I will bury you here."
After saying that, his expression worsened, and he turned and walked towards the car first. Gu Susu followed behind, continuously wiping her mouth, spitting and spitting, wondering what inauspicious things she was saying.
Damn, why was she cursing herself? She still wanted to live to a hundred, to watch Xiao Xingxing grow up, get married, and establish her own family.
Sitting in the passenger seat of the car, as she fastened her seatbelt, she saw Qin Tianyi glancing at her askance.
She also realized she had said the wrong thing just now, and said with an awkward smile, "I was just speaking casually. If I die, I can be buried anywhere, how could I be in such a good place..."
Qin Tianyi turned sideways and covered her mouth, "Do you have any taboos when you speak? Is this word something to be said lightly? If you say this word again, believe it or not, I'll throw you directly into the sea!"
"Wuwu~" Gu Susu whimpered a few times and broke free from his hand, "Won't it be enough if I don't say it? Don't worry, I'm not afraid of anything, I wo...n't die."
She realized she had accidentally uttered the word Qin Tianyi most disliked and immediately covered her own mouth.
Qin Tianyi's gaze seemed to suggest he really wanted to throw her into the sea, and he started the car directly.
But why did she faintly feel that Qin Tianyi was afraid she would die?
Would anyone care if she lived or died? She covered her mouth and couldn't help but smile secretly.
As the car left the cliff, she saw the wild sea breeze scattering the handful of light purple daisies, and the blown petals flying freely towards the sea.
After returning from the seaside villa, her life with Qin Tianyi returned to normal.
They both tried their best to play their roles. To outsiders, after the change of personnel at Mishang Company, it was not affected at all. The profit growth in just one month was all thanks to her contribution and ability.
In reality, only she knew in her heart that Qin Tianyi was the true genius in managing the company. The decisions she made were all Qin Tianyi's intentions; she was merely carrying them out.
She already had inspiration for the theme to be displayed at Fashion Week: a collection with traditional floral and bird patterns and landscape paintings as themes, incorporating Hanfu elements to design a fashion line with Mishang's unique brand effect. It would surely create a sensation.
Now, she practically faced her brand-new laptop every day, using specialized design software, working overtime to produce designs.
This brand-new pink laptop was a reward from the company on her first day back at work after returning from the seaside villa.
When Fan Zhihua handed her this laptop, she couldn't believe the company would reward her with something so practical.
Originally, she had been calculating how to save money to buy a second-hand laptop.
Happily, she installed the system and, when the office was empty, checked her online studio. There were a few messages from a month ago, all from online store owners who wanted her to design small icons.
She tried to reply to them one by one, to see if she could still do these small businesses.
Designing small icons wasn't too difficult for her, and it could bring in a small income, so she wouldn't give up her online design studio.
Gu Susu felt a bit tired from designing. She closed the software and casually browsed other web pages to relax. She saw a report about the police cracking down on a factory that produced and sold counterfeit luxury fashion, seizing a large batch of fake products.
There was a video of the police destroying this batch of counterfeit goods. Gu Susu stared at the laptop screen, watching the counterfeit fashions go up in flames, and wondered if Zhang Gaoyuan and his wife had been sentenced.
Zhang Gaoyuan's crimes should be serious, first assault, and now counterfeiting.
Gu Susu curiously searched all the news online about this matter, but none of it mentioned Qin Yaxuan; it was all Zhang Gaoyuan's responsibility.
Zhang Gaoyuan's assault was described as him being discovered by the brand representative while producing counterfeit goods for a certain well-known brand and wanting to hold him accountable, so he retaliated with violence.
That Qin Yaxuan was completely cleared, which suggested the Qin family had done a lot behind the scenes.
Even though Old Mrs. Qin knew what was going on, she still let Huang Xiuli and her daughter off the hook, only asking them to return the embezzled money. But to this day, out of the two million yuan Huang Xiuli said she would return first, only fifty thousand had arrived.
Was this dismissing her like a beggar? Did she and Qin Tianyi have to send people to chase her for the debt?
The actions of Huang Xiuli and her daughter, which constituted commercial crimes, were considered mere internal issues by the Qin family, to be resolved internally. Nothing was more important than the reputation of the entire Qin family.
She thought Qin Tianyi probably felt the same way, as he was also a member of the Qin family. If the Qin family had any problems or went bankrupt, it would be of no benefit to him.
Gu Susu sighed and closed the laptop, feeling that things could only be this way. Although she felt a bit indignant, she couldn't think of a better solution.
She stood up to stretch and glanced at the documents on Qin Tianyi's desk. One was about the company's personnel adjustments. She casually picked it up and flipped through it, only to be startled.
Why was the company going to dismiss over twenty people at once? Was the economy in crisis and they were laying off staff?
But she hadn't heard of any major losses for the company recently.
As she was wondering, Qin Tianyi entered the room. Seeing her staring blankly at a document, he said, "When did you become interested in company management?"
Gu Susu quickly put down the document and smiled, "I was tired from designing and stood up to walk around, just looking casually."
Qin Tianyi said "Oh," and sat down at his desk, then tossed the document to her, saying, "Call the head of the human resources department and have her dismiss these people according to the list on this document."
Gu Susu took the document and asked, "Are you going to dismiss so many people at once? Has the company's cash flow been cut off? If you don't dismiss them, will you not be able to pay their salaries?"
Qin Tianyi gave her a speechless look and said, "Do you still want something like what happened with Zhang Gaoyuan and his wife to happen?"
Gu Susu shook her head vigorously.
"Then it's settled. If we dismiss all these people, we won't be constantly watched, and things will be quieter."
Gu Susu understood. These people were all planted in the company by Qin Yaxuan. To think there were so many made her scalp tingle. "But what reason will you use to dismiss them? Will there really be so many?"
Qin Tianyi: "Better to kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. As for the reasons, the human resources department will figure them out. Things like employees failing performance reviews, you don't need to worry about that. Otherwise, why would the company have a human resources department."
