However, as soon as she raised her hand halfway, she cried out in pain and was fiercely grabbed by the wrist by Gu Lanshan.
She had been exhausted from the torment by Sheng Shi last night, already hadn't gotten enough sleep, and now, because Su Jiaojiao had caused chaos at the company, her day off was completely ruined. Already infuriated, she now wanted to hit her?
Gu Lanshan sneered coldly and then raised her hand to slap Su Jiaojiao twice in the face, swift and ruthless.
After finishing, Gu Lanshan shoved Su Jiaojiao away, letting her fall to the ground disgracefully.
Standing tall, Gu Lanshan looked down at her, her face exquisite, her long dress flowing and her aura sharp, like a queen, "Since you don't want to apologize, consider those slaps my way of making amends for Ye Si!"
"I don't care how arrogant or shameless you are in this circle, but there is a limit to stepping on others! Ye Si works under me, and no one is allowed to touch my people!"
"Otherwise, next time definitely won't end so easily!"
Once Gu Lanshan finished these words, feeling somewhat relieved, she looked up to see everyone staring at her in a daze and snapped sharply, frowning, "Why are you all standing there in a daze? Pick up the clothes on the ground immediately and return them from where you got them!"
The group immediately came to their senses, as if receiving some orders, and quickly and obediently started to work.
Gu Lanshan, on the other hand, swayed her waist dramatically and left, her high heels clicking on the floor.
Her long dress swirled, creating beautiful patterns as she walked.
**************************
On her way home, Gu Lanshan received a call from the chief of SH News Agency.
Seeing the caller ID, Gu Lanshan knew what it was about. She had just slapped Su Jiaojiao twice; the interview was definitely canceled.
Despite her unwillingness, Gu Lanshan answered the call, and just as she expected, she received a torrent of scolding from the chief.
She listened silently as the chief berated her for a full twenty minutes before finally hearing the main point: "Gu Lanshan, you messed up the headline for the next issue of the magazine. Find a way to get me a new headline by the fifteenth of next month, or you can expect my resignation letter!"
Hanging up the phone, Gu Lanshan just happened to drive into the villa yard.
The place where Sheng Shi and Gu Lanshan lived was the top-tier residential villa area in the city, the Royal Villa, nestled by mountains and water, with a beautiful environment. It was the dreamland everybody in the city aspired to, naturally with land prices astronomical and shockingly expensive.
If a woman's success was measured by whom she married, then her husband's success was measured by whether he had a place in the Royal Villa.
This so-called prime location, supposedly unobtainable even with money, had once been acquired by Sheng Shi who bought nearly a hundred acres in one breath, building the villa they now lived in.
The servants in the villa spotted Gu Lanshan's car from afar and hurried to greet her. By the time Gu Lanshan stopped the car, a servant had opened the door for her: "Lady Shan, you're back?"
Gu Lanshan got out of the car, and someone drove the car to the parking lot.
Gu Lanshan walked towards the villa, and the housekeeper had already opened the door for her, with shoes prepared.
