Gu Hecheng tapped the armrest of his chair with his slender fingers. After a while, he retracted his hand and leaned forward slightly.
"Well done, you've learned your lesson. You've come to your senses so quickly." Gu Hecheng's lips curled into an unnatural sneer.
Shen Qianqian and Gu Hecheng's eyes met. Time seemed to stop at that moment, but the atmosphere was frighteningly tense.
Gu Hecheng gritted his teeth and angrily fished out a cheque from his pocket. He quickly picked up a pen from the table and scribbled a string of numbers on the cheque.
"Here you go!" Gu Hecheng suddenly stood up and threw the cheque on the table in front of Shen Qianqian. "You're right. I'm here to humiliate you today. Take this money. Just like you said, since our relationship is over, we should settle the accounts."
"Even if I went to prostitute myself for the past five years, I still had to pay, right?" Gu Hecheng gritted his teeth and sneered. "If you don't want this money, does it mean that you still want to be with me? Do you want me to feel indebted to you? "
Shen Qianqian trembled all over as she lowered her head. She looked at the cheque in front of her with hatred and unconsciously clenched her hands together.
He really spared no effort in humiliating her.
"What's wrong? Is it that hard to make a choice?" Gu Hecheng saw that Shen Qianqian did not move for a long time. He leaned over the coffee table and leaned closer to her. "Why don't you ask your new lover to back you up?"
"I'll tell you one more time. I don't have a new lover." Shen Qianqian could not take it anymore. She suddenly grabbed the cheque and stood up.
Gu Hecheng leaned back slightly. He seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "You don't have one? Then you'd better accept the money obediently."
Shen Qianqian clenched the cheque in her hand. She suddenly understood that no matter what she did now, her image in Gu Hecheng's eyes would never change. She might as well worsen her image and end their dispute as soon as possible.
"Although I don't know why I have to explain to you that I don't have a new lover, I want to tell you that I will accept this money," Shen Qianqian said firmly. Gu Hecheng nodded his head in satisfaction. "You will have a new lover in the future."
"You …" The smile on Gu Hecheng's face disappeared in an instant. He gritted his teeth like a beast that had spotted its prey.
"What's wrong? Why is your reaction so big?" Shen Qianqian leaned closer to Gu Hecheng and sneered, "Did you really think that I would only like you for the rest of my life? It's enough to be foolish once. I can't be foolish forever."
Shen Qianqian skillfully clipped the cheque into the file. She took a step back and said respectfully, "Mr. Gu, since you are not satisfied with our apartment, our conversation is over. Take care. I won't see you out."
The gloomy look on Gu Hecheng's face made Shen Qianqian feel good, but she was not happy.
Shen Qianqian returned to the front desk. She looked up and saw Gu Hecheng walking out of the door with a gloomy look on his face.
This time, Shen Qianqian did not see him out respectfully. However, the standard fake smile on her face was very considerate.
After Gu Hecheng left, Shen Qianqian had an ordinary morning. She received a few clients and made a deal. Other than that, there were no other disturbances.
During lunch, Shen Qianqian was alone. However, she did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.
When she was halfway through the food on her plate, a shadow suddenly blocked her view.
Shen Qianqian was stunned. She looked up and saw a handsome but slightly haggard face under the sunlight.
"Manager Jiang?" Shen Qianqian's hand paused in mid-air. She put down her chopsticks.
Jiang Di glanced at Shen Qianqian and naturally sat down opposite her.
"Eat. Why are you in a daze?" Jiang Di's smile was as warm as ever.
Shen Qianqian came back to her senses and continued eating.
"I heard that you made a deal today." Jiang Di's voice was very gentle.
Shen Qianqian smiled and said, "Yes. A single aristocrat bought it. It seems that he transferred here for work. He wants to settle down here."
Jiang Di nodded approvingly. After eating two mouthfuls, he suddenly put down his chopsticks and said, "Qianqian, did a man come to see you this morning?"
"Yes?" Shen Qianqian's hand paused. She lowered her head and said, "Yes. I'm sorry. I've caused trouble for the company again."
Shen Qianqian's drooping hair covered her eyes. Jiang Di paused and said, "It's okay. I'm just a little worried about you."
Shen Qianqian did not need to think about it. She guessed that Jiang Di must have heard the staff gossiping again.
"It's okay." Shen Qianqian smiled awkwardly.
"In the future, if you have such a difficult customer, leave it to me. It's too much to affect your work in public." Jiang Di said seriously.
Shen Qianqian smiled and shook her head. "I won't come again."
Shen Qianqian's words made Jiang Di stunned. He suddenly remembered the scene outside that day.
"You were in a bad mood before. Was it because of this man?" Jiang Di asked with concern.
"No." Shen Qianqian obviously did not want to talk about Gu Hecheng. She looked away.
Jiang Di was also a discerning person. When he saw Shen Qianqian deliberately trying to hide it, he guessed that it was most likely the truth.
But since Shen Qianqian did not want to talk about it, Jiang Di did not continue to ask.
"Okay, as long as you're okay." Jiang Di comforted her. Just then, the staff in the exhibition hall passed by.
In the staff cafeteria, they looked at them with gossipy eyes. Jiang Di put down his chopsticks and said, "Wait a minute."
"Manager Jiang …"
The staff were more or less afraid of their superiors. So when Jiang Di stood up and walked towards them, they all bowed their heads and retreated.
Shen Qianqian put down her chopsticks. She did not know what he was going to do.
"Please remember that this is the company. It's not a place for you to gossip. If there's anything you don't understand, go back and read the employee code of conduct. If I see you gossiping about others behind their backs again and affecting their normal working mood, I will deduct your performance evaluation."
Jiang Di's words made the staff look at each other. They nodded and left immediately.
"Is this really okay?" Shen Qianqian stood up slowly and looked at Jiang Di. "Although I don't like them gossiping behind their backs, Manager Jiang, you're taking care of me. Won't you …"
Jiang Di knew very well what Shen Qianqian wanted to say. Instead, he smiled calmly and said, "I know what you're worried about. These things can't be explained clearly. You may think that I'm protecting you and giving the other party more excuses. But in fact, if I don't say anything, will the situation get better?"
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips. She knew that the answer was definitely no.
Seeing that Shen Qianqian did not speak, Jiang Di smiled slightly. "I know that you're worried about causing trouble for me, but I'm the manager of the department. It's my responsibility to help the staff, isn't it?"
Shen Qianqian looked up and saw that Jiang Di did not seem to care at all. She smiled brightly and said, "That's true."
Jiang Di reached out his hand and patted Shen Qianqian's shoulder naturally. He said encouragingly, "Don't worry about these things, and don't worry about me. Things should be as they are. You don't have to worry about anything else."
Shen Qianqian nodded gratefully. When Jiang Di turned around, she suddenly remembered. "Manager Jiang."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Di turned around. "Is there anything else?"
Shen Qianqian stepped forward hesitantly. "Manager Jiang, there's one more thing. I don't know if the company can accommodate me."
Jiang Di nodded. "Tell me about it. If it's possible to help you, I'll help you."
"Can I get off work half an hour earlier?" Shen Qianqian asked without much confidence. "If it's possible, I can reduce my monthly base salary a little."
Jiang Di looked thoughtfully at Shen Qianqian, who lowered her head. He felt that she must have some difficulties.
"Forget about the base salary. How about leaving one day a week as normal?" Jiang Di also knew that this was not in line with the regulations, but he felt that Shen Qianqian was in such a difficult position that she must have no other choice.
Shen Qianqian looked up in surprise and said gratefully, "Really? Manager Jiang, I think it's better to deduct some of my base salary. Otherwise, I'll feel uneasy. "
Jiang Di smiled and shook his head. "It's okay. You don't have to feel sorry. I'll arrange for you to go out for field work in the future. In this way, you can use the excuse that you're going out for field work. I'll help you with the attendance test. Don't worry."
"Thank you, Manager Jiang." Shen Qianqian said happily to Jiang Di's back as he left.
"That's great." Shen Qianqian was secretly happy. She picked up the tray and walked towards the door.
That night, Shen Qianqian told the good news to Xiao Kong while eating happily.
Shen Qianqian smiled and looked at Xiao Kong, who was wolfing down the food, and said, "Xiao Kong, eat slowly."
"Xiao Kong, Mom asked the company today. Mom can pick you up normally four days a week, but there's one day later. Can you wait for Mom in the security room?"
"Yes, you can." When he heard Shen Qianqian say that she could pick him up normally, he was very happy and raised his voice. He even saluted Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian touched Xiao Kong's head. She suddenly remembered that she could not accompany him for one day a week. She frowned in annoyance. How could she forget about Saturday?
Shen Qianqian thought about it, put down her chopsticks and said to Xiao Kong, "Xiao Kong, Mom just remembered something. Mom has to go to work on Saturday. Why don't I ask Master Wuchen if you can let your senior from Jing Yuan come and accompany you?"
"Mom can't take you to work, and I can't bear to let you be alone at home." Shen Qianqian touched Xiao Kong's head helplessly.
Xiao Kong thought about it and said considerately, "Yes, you can."
"Okay." Shen Qianqian cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, walked to the kitchen and took the initiative to call Mother Liu.
