Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Tang Yuxiu, What Should I Do If I Fall for You?
"How is it possible? Didn’t the notice just come from the general manager asking those two to go up? Look how smug they are, not even knowing what’s going on yet they’re so excited."
The person spoke with a hint of jealousy. For employees like them, no matter the reason, getting a personal summon from the general manager would feel extremely honorable.
To face the general manager up close is such a rare opportunity. Usually, they could only catch a glimpse from afar.
Wang Qi was also slightly surprised, "Since when did the general manager start concerning himself with the entertainment department’s models?"
Could the general manager also be like those wealthy young masters, starting to indulge in a life of leisure?
But isn’t his taste a bit poor? That Yao Xue, with her eyes always up in the air, constantly wears a disdainful expression.
Why would the general manager find that appealing?
Could the superior’s taste be significantly different from ordinary people’s?
Wang Qi really couldn’t offer any praise.
The person shrugged and replied, "Who knows." then went back to work, carrying their documents.
Wang Qi returned to the office and sighed, "We don’t understand the boss’s world."
Qi Yu smiled, "Just keep working hard. These are matters above us, nothing to do with us."
Wang Qi nodded and continued to focus on revising the sheet music.
At the same time, Gu Yan arrived at the piano room alone, where it was relatively quiet with hardly any noise.
Previously, Gu Yan didn’t think much of it, just enjoying the thought of being able to play the piano, full of joy.
But after last night’s events, she was left with some psychological shadows.
Now it’s broad daylight, she told herself, nothing would happen, and she also brought her phone, fully charged. Even if she gets locked inside again, she can call someone.
Nothing will happen!
After a bit of self-reassurance, Gu Yan stepped into the piano room.
The slightly dim light inside the piano room somewhat soothed her nerves.
Entering the compartment, she sat in front of the piano, placed the sheet music, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed the fear that could rise at any moment.
She placed her hands on the keys, scanned the sheet music, and closed her eyes. Her right hand still couldn’t move vigorously, so she continued to play with her left hand.
Empty herself.
A sudden image appeared in her mind.
In her most lonely, helpless, and fearful dark moment, a ray of light illuminated the path ahead, and Tang Yuxiu’s handsome face appeared before her as if a deity descended, in just a moment, he broke into her heart, deeply imprinted.
If she doesn’t think about what happened later, just reminiscing that moment, all she feels is warmth and moved.
Tang Yuxiu, what do I do with these feelings for you?
After playing the piece once, Gu Yan felt calm.
Only the piano can calm her heart; she enjoys the charm it brings her.
On the twenty-second floor, in the general manager’s office.
Yao Xue and Qin Juan came up filled with excitement, having been informed by You Shuyang for these two to come directly and knock on the office door.
As Yao Xue passed by the secretary, she glanced disdainfully, her manner as if she were Tang Yuxiu’s woman, the mistress here.
The secretary remained silent, just let her have her moment of pride.
Today she noticed, the general manager was in a bad mood and wasn’t happy, calling these two up could definitely not be anything good.
Pretentious individuals, judging by the woman’s contempt for her clothes, she couldn’t even bother to feel sorry for them.
Yao Xue stood at the office door, flicked her hair, cleared her throat, stood straight, and gently knocked on the door.
You Shuyang came to open the door, saw it was them, stepped aside to let them in.
Yao Xue barely gave You Shuyang a glance and strutted into the general manager’s office with what she considered a very charming demeanor.
Qin Juan followed her, maintaining a calm appearance with great effort, her palms sweating with nerves, unsure if the general manager calling them meant anything good.
Once inside, You Shuyang closed the door and headed over to Tang Yuxiu’s desk.
"General Manager, they’re here."
Yao Xue and Qin Juan stopped three feet away from the desk, Yao Xue showing a smile she deemed very enchanting and gentle, spoke softly, "General Manager, did you call me for something?"
Tang Yuxiu kept his head down, only looking up after finishing reading and signing the document, leaning lazily back in his chair.
These two faces are the ones that appeared in the video.
Excellent!
Tang Yuxiu’s lips curled into a meaningful smile.
Yao Xue and Qin Juan were stunned.
The general manager, whom they used to see only from a distance, always cold and stern, was now not only close-up but also smiling!
This was a huge honor!
Yao Xue felt like she was being intoxicated by the general manager’s charm.
```
"Show them the video." Tang Yuxiu spoke coldly, his gaze devoid of warmth.
Yao Xue and Qin Juan’s hearts skipped a beat, feeling a sense of foreboding.
You Shuyang turned the laptop on the desk towards them and pressed play.
They both looked over and immediately saw themselves in the footage.
There they were, sneaking around outside the music room!
Yao Xue’s eyes widened instantly, and she couldn’t help but take a step back.
Qin Juan was visibly frightened, her body trembling uncontrollably, her eyes filled with panic and fear.
Watching the video felt like an eternity for both of them.
Yao Xue was horrified. How could such a video exist? It was obviously recorded, but there were no cameras where she had checked!
Could there be hidden cameras?
But whatever the case, the video in front of them was real!
Once the video ended, You Shuyang paused it and faced them with a formal tone, "Do either of you have anything to say about this video?"
Hearing You Shuyang’s words, Yao Xue looked at Tang Yuxiu in panic, "General Manager, this can’t be real. Someone is trying to frame me!"
Qin Juan, already timid by nature, was even more flustered and at a loss. She never imagined that the General Manager called them up for this matter!
She could only follow Yao Xue’s lead in rebuttal, "Yes, yes, this must be fake, someone must have doctored it."
Upon hearing this, You Shuyang’s expression turned cold, "Are you suggesting that you question my efficiency? This video was extracted from the surveillance monitors on the fifteenth floor. If extracting ready-made footage can be doctored, then I don’t deserve the title of Head Assistant."
Qin Juan shivered in fear, biting her lip and not daring to speak.
However, Yao Xue was determined to hold her ground. With You Shuyang’s statement, she continued, "Yes! It must be your incompetence that brought this fake video to incriminate us. We didn’t do such things!"
You Shuyang, being a highly proud and elite professional, was extremely displeased by Yao Xue’s comments.
A little-known woman dared to shamelessly question his professional capabilities!
How could there be such a person, blatantly lying and distorting the truth even when evidence was right in front of her?
Yao Xue looked at Tang Yuxiu, struggling to explain, "General Manager, you must not believe this video, it is fake, it is fake!"
Tang Yuxiu crossed his arms, his elbows resting on the armrests, appearing both lazy and sharp.
He lifted his eyes indifferently, his cold gaze piercing through her, chilling her to the bone.
"Do you think I would employ an assistant who can’t even properly retrieve surveillance footage?"
The implication was that no matter how much she argued, it was futile; he trusted You Shuyang’s capability and had no doubts about the video’s authenticity.
Yao Xue’s face turned pale, knowing that nothing she said now would help.
Qin Juan trembled in fear, her face sorrowful, "General Manager, we didn’t mean to, for our first mistake’s sake, please forgive us!"
"If there’s a first, there will be a second." Tang Yuxiu spoke calmly.
Qin Juan was utterly terrified. She had heard countless times that Tang Yuxiu was difficult to deal with and ruthless.
Now, she didn’t want to get herself into trouble.
"General Manager, this wasn’t my idea; I didn’t want to, it was Yao Xue, she forced me!" Qin Juan pointed at Yao Xue, trying her best to clear her name.
She hoped Tang Yuxiu would show leniency and let her go.
Upon hearing Qin Juan’s words, Yao Xue’s eyes widened, looking at her angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting! How could I force you? You’re free to do whatever you want; how could I possibly force you!"
Qin Juan was also very angry; if it weren’t for falling under her influence, she wouldn’t have followed her in confining Gu Yan.
"It was clearly you. You don’t like Gu Yan, you can’t stand her, constantly targeting her, wanting to teach her a lesson, that’s why you locked her in the music room. I was merely forced by you, I didn’t do anything!"
Yao Xue looked at Tang Yuxiu’s expressionless face, growing angrier at Qin Juan’s words, "Shut up! You’re slandering me just to dissociate yourself!"
"I’m not! Everything I say is true!"
Originally, these two were always together in the model group, forming a small circle, and in others’ eyes, they were the best of friends.
Unexpectedly, over such a small matter, they turned against each other to escape punishment, continuing to argue.
This kind of relationship is really fragile.
Tang Yuxiu was disgusted by this spectacle, signaling to You Shuyang with a glance.
You Shuyang understood and spoke up, "Both of you, there’s no need to shirk responsibility. Both of you are implicated in this matter, no matter how much you deny it, you must face the due punishment for what you’ve done."
"What do you intend to do!" Yao Xue’s voice was sharp, causing Tang Yuxiu to frown slightly.
"Punishment commensurate with your actions against others."
Yao Xue and Qin Juan were perplexed, but instinctively felt it wouldn’t be that simple.
"General Manager, you can’t penalize me! You can’t!" Yao Xue screamed.
Tang Yuxiu looked at her mockingly, "Oh, why can’t I?"
"Because, because..." Yao Xue hesitated but couldn’t speak; if she did, Nie Rong would certainly blame her, and the relationship she’d painstakingly managed with the daughter of a wealthy family would go down the drain!
