Chapter 164: Chapter 164: General Manager Summons
"Heh, don’t forget it was you who came to me willingly back then."
Tang Yuxiu said as he continued to knead her softness without any restraint.
Gu Yan furrowed her brows tightly, trying hard to endure.
She loathed the comfort she was feeling under his touch, it shouldn’t be like this, she shouldn’t be feeling anything!
Tang Yuxiu looked at her and let out a cold laugh, then leaned in to kiss her lips, sucking on them forcefully. She felt a hint of pain but still held back without making a sound.
Tang Yuxiu gradually got thoroughly irritated by her behavior, giving a harsh suck on her lips.
This time, Gu Yan truly experienced the sensation of both pleasure and pain, her brows tightly knit together.
Occasionally, a car passed outside, and hearing the sound of cars driving by made Gu Yan unconsciously tense up, fearing someone might stop their car curiously to take a peek.
Tang Yuxiu pressed his forehead against hers, laughing mockingly, "How’s that, exciting?"
Gu Yan turned her head away in embarrassment, "If you’re going to do it, hurry up. You don’t want to be late for work, do you?"
Tang Yuxiu’s eyes darkened, "You still want to go to work normally after we’re done? I could take it as you questioning my capability."
Gu Yan let out a cold laugh, "Think whatever you like."
"Gu Yan, stop testing my limits!" Tang Yuxiu warned her with a threatening tone.
Gu Yan turned back to him and mocked, "Annoyed by my attitude? Tang Yuxiu, isn’t this what you asked for? You want me, yet you’re not allowing me to show any attitude? As long as you get me, I won’t resist or decline. Do you still expect me to smile happily and brightly at you?"
To Gu Yan, at this moment, Tang Yuxiu was just a man trying to force himself on her, who would show a nice face to such a person?
Really, don’t be ridiculous.
She thought it was even more unrealistic than daydreaming.
"Gu Yan, do you really think I don’t dare to do anything to you!" Tang Yuxiu said cruelly.
"How could I be so self-delusional to think that way? Aren’t you doing it to me now?"
Tang Yuxiu glared at her darkly, then suddenly shoved her away fiercely. Gu Yan was caught off guard and crashed into the car window beside the passenger seat, leaving her dizzy and disoriented for a while.
Tang Yuxiu’s heart suddenly felt like it was punched by something, a dull, aching pain.
He yelled angrily, "Get out of the car! Stop blocking my sight!"
Gu Yan looked back at him, "This time you’re the one telling me to get out, not me going out on my own, so don’t kill my chances."
Hearing her words, Tang Yuxiu became even angrier, "Get out!"
Gu Yan decisively grabbed her backpack from the back seat, opened the car door, and got out.
She didn’t want to stay in this suffocating car for a moment longer.
As soon as she got out of the car, she slammed the door shut forcefully. The car shook a few times, and as she stepped back a couple of steps, Tang Yuxiu swiftly started the engine and quickly drove out of her line of sight.
Gu Yan watched as Tang Yuxiu’s Bugatti disappeared into the distance, blinking away the bitterness in her heart.
If she could, who wouldn’t want to stay by the side of someone they liked? But knowing it’s just her one-sided wish, why would she subject herself to such humiliation?
Yet, Gu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief as Tang Yuxiu ultimately didn’t do anything to her in the car!
Gu Yan picked up her backpack and slowly walked towards the bus stop.
This area was sparsely populated, and there was only Gu Yan at the bus stop.
Around the corner, a black Bugatti was parked. The window rolled down, and the man in the car gazed intensely in this direction, unbeknownst to Gu Yan.
Tang Yuxiu irritably patted the steering wheel. Seeing the bus arriving and stopping in front of Gu Yan, he immediately started the engine and quickly left.
Gu Yan, feeling something, looked in the direction where the Bugatti had been but saw nothing.
It was the rush hour for work; once in the city, the bus moved very slowly. Fortunately, she managed to reach the office before the 8:30 am work start time.
Gu Yan was grateful she had adjusted to accompany Tang Yuxiu’s habit of starting work half an hour early by also rising half an hour earlier to leave with him.
Tang Yuxiu arrived at the company slightly before Gu Yan, and You Shuyang arrived even earlier than he did, following him into the office.
"General Manager, we found out who did it," You Shuyang said, placing the notebook he brought on the desk in front of him.
It was a surveillance video, taken from a relatively hidden camera outside the music room.
In the footage, Yao Xue and Qin Juan were seen glancing around nervously as they approached the music room door, turning the key on the door to lock it from the outside.
Then it was quitting time; Lin Fei passed by, exchanged a few words with the two, and then left. These two stayed outside the door, preventing anyone from approaching.
They left only after everyone from the entertainment department had gone.
Tang Yuxiu watched the video, his expression cold.
"General Manager, how should we handle this?"
Tang Yuxiu was already fuming after the incident with Gu Yan. If it weren’t for those two locking Gu Yan up, the subsequent happenings probably wouldn’t have occurred. Just when things were starting to improve between them, it was ruined like this, leaving their relationship nearly at freezing point after this morning, which utterly displeased Tang Yuxiu. After seeing this video, he blamed this mess entirely on those two ungrateful women!
"Bring these two to me! As for the other person, let their manager and team leader know; if there’s even a small issue, make it a big deal and handle it!"
"Yes." You Shuyang left the room. Tang Yuxiu continued to stare at the video, and each time he thought of Gu Yan’s embarrassed and fearful look when he found her last night, he couldn’t control his anger.
Fifteenth floor, Entertainment Department.
Gu Yan arrived at the office door and, unexpectedly, saw Yao Xue and Qin Juan sneaking peeks in her direction from not far away.
When the two of them saw her, a hint of panic flashed across their faces, and Yao Xue immediately pushed Qin Juan away.
Gu Yan felt a bit baffled.
"Hey Gu Yan, what are you doing standing at the door?" Wang Qi called out to her.
Gu Yan walked to her desk, put down her backpack, and casually replied, "Nothing."
Lin Fei was puzzled to see Gu Yan showing up normally for work; weren’t those two saying she’d be locked up overnight?
She should have come out of the music room in the morning, so how could this be?
Gu Yan casually glanced at Lin Fei, her expression calm, but she was pondering; yesterday in the music room, she seemed to have vaguely heard Lin Fei’s name but wasn’t sure.
The music room’s soundproofing was too good; even talking at the door, it wasn’t necessarily audible.
Lin Fei noticed Gu Yan looking her way and felt a pang of guilt, hurriedly lowering her head and pretending to focus intently on the sheet music.
Gu Yan withdrew her gaze and said nothing.
Taking the sheet music, Gu Yan headed to the music room. Passing the model team’s office, she saw Yao Xue and Qin Juan peeking outside again, quickly lowering their heads and pretending to be busy when they saw her pass by.
Gu Yan felt something was off.
After she walked past, Qin Juan hurriedly shook Yao Xue’s arm, "What do we do? How did she get out? Does she know it was us who locked her up?"
Yao Xue irritably shook off her hand, "How should I know!"
Today, both of them had come in earlier than the rest of the department just to secretly unlock the music room door. Who knew they would find it already open and Gu Yan gone!
They began to panic. How did she get out? Did someone find out? Or did she know?
The two of them had been waiting outside the music team to see if Gu Yan would come to work today, and unexpectedly, she did, appearing perfectly fine.
Yao Xue confirmed that this wasn’t an escape from this morning, but rather sometime after they left last night.
But who would know Gu Yan was locked in there and release her?
Their first thought was Lin Fei.
Yao Xue was furious, thinking this woman said nothing but released her after they left!
Isn’t she supposed to hate the rich, dislike people like them, especially someone like Gu Yan who seemed to have connections?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and Yao Xue immediately said to Qin Juan, "Let’s go find that woman Lin Fei; it must have been her!"
Qin Juan heard this and agreed, "Only she knows what we did, yes, it must be her, let’s go."
They must shut her mouth, not let her spread this.
Suppressing their anger, the two were about to go find Lin Fei when their team leader suddenly came out of the office and specifically called them.
"Yao Xue, Qin Juan, the general manager wants to see you in his office, don’t dawdle, head up quickly."
The general manager wants to see them?
Hearing this, everyone in the office couldn’t help but look over.
Yao Xue and Qin Juan stood there stunned, did they hear right, the general manager summoned them?
Yao Xue instantly forgot about being angry, forgot about Gu Yan and Lin Fei; she just felt like she was floating.
Could it be the general manager suddenly noticed her, taken an interest in her?
Qin Juan dumbly shook Yao Xue’s arm, "Did I hear right? The general manager wants to see us?"
Yao Xue finally realized that Qin Juan was supposed to go up with her as well.
She couldn’t help but feel dissatisfied, why call her too? She was so timid, not as outstanding as she was, what gave her the right to be summoned by the general manager.
She disdainfully shook off her hand, "Look at yourself, such a lack of ambition."
Qin Juan was displeased hearing her words, maybe Tang Yuxiu’s charisma was too strong, giving her some courage to retort against Yao Xue, "You’re the only one with ambition, but the general manager still called me."
Yao Xue gave a heavy snort, turned around, raised her chin, and haughtily walked out of the office.
Everyone’s eyes were on her, and she felt an extreme sense of satisfaction with her vanity.
Yao Xue walked past the crowd in high heels, resembling a proud peacock looking down on insignificant sparrows.
Qin Juan also proudly held her head high, feeling immensely dignified.
Wang Qi poked his head out from the office, asking the colleagues outside, "What’s the matter? Why is everyone staring at those two? Did something miraculous happen?"
