Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Jingze suddenly asked them to come back to work. He even asked them to come to his office and scolded them one by one for the whole morning. The atmosphere was extremely heavy. Everyone was dejected and looked like they had nothing to live for.
"We've been working on this bridge case for five months, and we've only made this much progress. Team Leader Chen, I think you've wasted your third degree at the University of California. Your school is probably feeling ashamed of you right now."
With that, the folder was thrown on the table.
"Manager Liu, the world's economic system is changing so fast, but your old brain is still so slow. Should I consider getting some new blood to move your department? Otherwise, I really can't believe that you made this thing."
Another file was thrown on the table.
"Director Zhang, I want to ask you, did I give you an annual salary of 30 million just to invite you to come back and do this kind of project for me? If that's the case, I might as well spend a few hundred thousand to hire a labor contractor. I don't think he'll be so slow. “
Another file was smashed onto the table.
They all lowered their heads to look at their folders. They didn't dare to look up at Gu Jingze, who was sitting in the big office chair with a gloomy face.
"Why are you still sitting here? Since you know the progress is slow, why don't you hurry up and do it? " Gu Jingze scolded them one last time. They quickly got up, picked up their things, and rushed out.
Qin Hao stood there, not daring to say a word. He stole a glance at Gu Jingze. Seeing that Gu Jingze was engrossed in reading the company's documents, Qin Hao complained in his heart.
It seemed that Gu Jingze would have to be scolded later. Gu Jingze had read a lot of documents and dealt with a lot of work early in the morning. Why did he suddenly come to the company? The president of the company, who had just taken a day off, hurried back to deal with the work urgently.
Gu Jingze read the documents for the whole day. In the end, he asked someone to bring more black coffee.
The black coffee was brought over. It was moderately hot and cold, and it was placed on the table with a bitter aroma.
He walked over, picked it up, held it in his hand, and looked under the French window.
For a moment, he didn't know why, but he suddenly tightened his grip on the thick walls of the coffee cup.
Then, the warm coffee finally soaked the coffee cup.
The coffee spilled all over the floor. Gu Jingze frowned and flung his hand away.
Looking at the employees outside, they looked at him innocently. Their gazes were filled with fear, but there was only a cold glint in his eyes. "Get out of my office. I don't want to see you here anymore."
"President Gu … President Gu, I was wrong. I … please give me a chance." She was so scared that she screamed, which made Gu Jingze even more displeased.
Seeing this, Qin Hao immediately pulled him up and dragged him out.
Gu Jingze just stood there, looking down at the desolate winter sky. "The people here need ability, and luck … is also a kind of ability."
Why did she have to deliver the coffee at this time after the people outside had been pushing it around for so long? This meant that her ability to avoid dangerous situations was not as good as others, and her ability to shirk responsibility was not as good as others. Therefore, she was fired today because of her lack of ability.
He was taken out, and the office returned to silence. His hand was in pain, which made him sober up a little. He took a deep breath and thought to himself.
Since she wanted to draw a clear line between them, then he would just let her be.
She was right. Recently, he had not been able to distinguish between public and private affairs.

At night, Lin Che saw that Gu Jingze had not returned to the Gu Family. He was still there, and she did not know whether she should continue to stay here or go back to the Gu Family.
Gu Jingze did not tell her when he left.
While Lin Che was still hesitating, she heard her phone ring again. She picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, who is this?" Lin Che asked.
"Xiaoche?"
"It's me …" An unfamiliar voice made Lin Che feel a little strange, especially when the person on the other side called her Xiaoche.
"Xiaoche, I'm your grandmother. You don't remember me, do you? You were the one who wrote me this number."
"What? Grandmother? "
Lin Che was shocked and quickly jumped off the bed.
Lin Che's mother had been admitted to a university from a small place and came to B City. If she had not met her father, she would have had a good life. However, she had met Lin Youcai.
Lin Youcai lied to her mother to give birth to her and cut off all ties with her family. They never contacted each other again. It was not until he passed away that he told her that his parents were still in the small mountain village.
Lin Che was still young at that time. She could only send a letter to her grandmother every year. She did not know if her grandmother would see it or if she was still alive.
However, she had never had the chance to go to such a distant place to look for her grandmother, so this matter had been delayed.
Last year, she had just sent a letter to her grandmother, saying that she was living well. She did not know if her grandmother could see the letter and know of her existence. However, she would still send her a letter every year, just as her mother had said before she passed away.
On the letter, she had even attached her address to her grandmother.
She did not expect that today, her grandmother would not only suddenly appear, but also call her. This really surprised Lin Che.
"Grandmother, you … you finally called me. I thought you did not receive my letter."
"I received it, but you are living so well. As an old lady from the countryside, I will only be a burden to you. So, it is better not to let you know."
Lin Che paused bitterly in her heart. She did not tell her that she had been lying to her all those years.
She only said that the Lin family was very good and that she was living a good life in the Lin family. In her letter, she described the Lin family as so beautiful. However, in fact, her life had always been so bad that she was too embarrassed to tell anyone.
"Grandmother, how can that be? You will not be a burden to me. Mother also hopes that you can live well."
"Your letter said that the Lin family is in B City. So, Xiaoche, are you also in B City?"
"Of course," Lin Che said hurriedly. "Why, are you coming?"
"I … I am now in B City, but I am unfamiliar with the people and the place. I was cheated of all my money. Now, I do not know what to do, so I can only call you."
"What?"
Lin Che quickly told Mu Wanqing that he had something to do. He did not wait for Gu Jingze and simply left the Gu Residence.
After thinking for a while, she did not know where Gu Jingze was.
Perhaps he had gone to be entangled with Mo Huiling again. Therefore, she did not call Gu Jingze. Instead, she told Yu Minmin about it and asked him to send her a car first.
Lin Che hurried to the place his grandmother had told him. Soon, he met up with Yu Minmin. He saw that Yu Minmin had also brought Yang Lingxin. He even asked Yang Lingxin curiously, "Why are you still working instead of staying at home to accompany your family during the New Year?"
