Yang Sijie, however, really wanted to accompany her, saying, "I have nothing to do today, I'll go with you..."
Gu Susu had already hailed a taxi and turned to him, saying, "Brother Sijie, I told you I still need time, I still need time, okay?"
Yang Sijie didn't follow her closely. He spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I was presumptuous again." He could only watch her get into the taxi and leave.
However, he felt he still had hope. At least Gu Susu hadn't said they were absolutely impossible, always saying she needed time to consider.
This meant she had him in her heart too, just hadn't made up her mind yet.
It seemed he had to do something to make Susu willingly accept him.
Sitting in the taxi, Gu Susu kept staring at the bouquet in her hand.
She had also asked Wei Yanan how to completely escape the shadow of her previous marriage.
Originally, she didn't expect Wei Yanan to answer this question; she was just venting to Yanan.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yanan immediately said, "Isn't that simple? Find another man you like. Once you have someone new, you'll quickly forget the old one. New comes, old goes. How about it, want me to introduce you to some studs?"
Gu Susu laughed and waved her hand, "Keep them for yourself, I'll pass. Not interested."
They burst into laughter.
Gu Susu initially thought Wei Yanan was joking to cheer her up, but now she thought about it, it made sense. To forget the love-hate entanglement with Qin Tianyi, should she accept Yang Sijie and make up for their years of regret?
"Miss, we've arrived," the taxi driver reminded her.
She came back to her senses, paid the fare, and met the agent at the agreed-upon location.
As soon as she saw the house Chang Qingchuan had found for her, she was very satisfied. Both in terms of the house's structure and price, she was very pleased and decided on the spot.
She planned to move into the newly rented house in the next two days. This house had everything, and she could move in directly. The only thing was how she would explain it to Xiaomei when she returned to the apartment.
...
Two days later, in the hospital room, Qin Tianyi was on the phone with Chang Qingchuan.
In the past two days, he had thoroughly investigated Yang Sijie through the internet and other means.
It turned out that this Yang Sijie was the big boss who acquired Yimei Company, the rival company of Mishang. It was clear he intended to confront their Aoxiang Group head-on.
"Mr. Chang, do you know that Gu Susu attended the fashion gala and won an award?"
Chang Qingchuan replied truthfully, "Mr. Qin, I only found out about this from the news. What's wrong, is there a problem?"
"You're asking me? She's a designer for Mishang, yet she accompanied the boss of Yimei to such an event. What does that make her? Does she represent Mishang or Yimei? She has no professional ethics at all..."
"Mr. Qin, she has already resigned. She definitely can't represent Mishang Company anymore. As for whether she represents Yimei, I don't know."
"Resigned?" Qin Tianyi asked in surprise.
Chang Qingchuan, hearing his tone as if he knew nothing, said strangely, "I submitted her resignation letter to the HR department. The HR department also said it was approved by you, so Susu has officially left."
"I never signed it!" Qin Tianyi stated with certainty.
Chang Qingchuan said inexplicably, "The HR department replied to me that it was approved by headquarters, and there's official documentation from headquarters..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Tianyi had already hung up.
Chang Qingchuan still felt bewildered, but he had acted according to procedure, so he had done nothing wrong.
Qin Tianyi thought of Xiao Anjing. During his time in the hospital, only Xiao Anjing could make decisions for him.
That guy hadn't even told him about Gu Susu's resignation and had approved it directly.
Angrily about to call Xiao Anjing to question him about this,
Xiao Anjing pushed open the hospital room door and appeared before him.
Qin Tianyi threw his phone at him, "How many more things are you hiding from me!"
Xiao Anjing, who was usually grinning, saw Qin Tianyi's displeased expression and quickly caught his phone. "What's going on? You don't want your phone? What are you angry about now?"
"Was it you who approved Gu Susu's resignation?"
Xiao Anjing nodded and said, "Of course. If not me, can you go to the group to handle business now?"
"You approved her resignation without telling me or getting my consent!" Qin Tianyi was so angry he wanted to hit someone.
Xiao Anjing didn't dare to approach him for the moment and said seriously, "If she continued to stay at Mishang, wouldn't you be afraid that Shu Yan would cause trouble for her? I think she's quite sensible. Leaving Mishang is a good thing for both her and you. If I told you, would you have approved it?"
Qin Tianyi knew he was right, but he was still indignant. "She's no longer a designer for Mishang, and she's so close to the new boss of Yimei. Is she going to Yimei? For Mishang, Yimei will become the strongest competitor."
"There's nothing we can do about that," Xiao Anjing said. "Now is not the time for us to worry about whether Yimei will become a strong competitor to Mishang. We should be worried about how to resolve the crisis of the entire group."
Only then did Xiao Anjing dare to slowly walk up to Qin Tianyi, return his phone, and hand him a document he had brought. Now it was time for him to know what kind of crisis Aoxiang was facing.
Qin Tianyi took the document and looked at it. It was the group's financial statements.
He opened it and saw that there was a deficit, and the deficit was not small, approaching one hundred million.
Qin Tianyi had expected the group to face a severe situation, but he hadn't expected it to be this severe.
Xiao Anjing glanced at him and said, "I've found out who is dealing with us behind the scenes. It's that new boss of Yimei. I don't know what grudge we have with him, but he came to Lancheng from abroad, and it seems he came specifically to deal with us."
Qin Tianyi's expression turned serious, and he couldn't help but worry about Gu Susu. "Then is this person intentionally approaching Susu? Because he knows Susu's relationship with me, he let her win the award at the gala, deliberately trying to please her and get close to her. What is his ultimate goal?"
"I'm not sure either," Xiao Anjing said worriedly. "All I know now is that this Yang Sijie is very powerful. He is the executive president of a large overseas multinational group. Currently, we can only join forces with the Shu family to confront him."
Qin Tianyi finally nodded and said, "Shu Zhongze will not tolerate Yang Sijie, who returned from overseas, becoming so powerful."
"Yes, but you should still pay attention to your attitude towards Shu Yan. Although our cooperation with Shu Group is imperative, Shu Zhongze dotes on his youngest daughter, Shu Yan, the most. We cannot afford any missteps because of this matter. This concerns Aoxiang Group, and whether you can fulfill your grandfather's last wish."
"I have a sense of proportion," Qin Tianyi still worried about Gu Susu and said, "I need to remind Susu not to get too close to Yang Sijie."
Xiao Anjing knew he was still worried about Gu Susu and could only agree, "You rest assured and continue your rehabilitation training. I will go and remind her."
"You must remember this, don't forget it." Qin Tianyi felt he couldn't stay in the hospital any longer. He wished he could recover immediately, as there were too many things outside that he needed to handle personally.
