I knew he would stop me.
After nearly ten years of marriage, I knew Gu Yuanzhou too well.
This man has a hero complex.
He likes to protect the weak.
Particularly when it comes to delicate young girls, it stirs his protective instincts even more.
Next, Gu Yuanzhou stopped Luo Zizhou and reprimanded him on the spot.
"Who gave you permission to fire her?"
"President Gu, she took unauthorized leave for three days and openly defied her superiors. To maintain company order, I had no choice but to fire her."
Gu Yuanzhou glanced at me,
"You speak!"
"I fell ill, I have medical records. Please take a look, President Gu. These are my hospital records... "
Luckily, I had prepared my medical records, spreading them out on his desk.
After looking them over, Gu Yuanzhou's face fell even more.
He walked over to Luo Zizhou with his hands clasped behind his back,
"Does the company have a rule that employees can't get sick?"
Luo Zizhou seemed somewhat scared.
He probably never expected that me, a newly graduated recruit, would dare confront him in front of the president.
"President, her biggest mistake was defying her superior. She openly contradicted me many times in our team."
I calmly took out my phone and played a video.
"President, that's not the case. He's lying! The real situation is like this..."
Turns out, I had a hunch Luo Zizhou was unsatisfied with me during our collaboration a few days ago, and we've clashed several times in the course of our work.
So, when he threatened me just now, I'd secretly recorded our conversation.
In the video, Luo Zizhou's attitude is utterly arrogant...
"Mr. Luo, it's not right to threaten new employees for personal gain!"
"You! You're unmovable, don't you believe that I can have you fired right now!"
"I don't believe you!"
"Just you wait and see!"
Luo Zizhou was originally planning on making excuses.
But after seeing the evidence I presented, he immediately backed down.
Gu Yuanzhou pounded the table in anger,
"I can't believe you would do something like this!"
Luo Zizhou nodded obediently:
"President, I was wrong! I only did it to gain your trust!"
"Enough, get out!"
Luo Zizhou made a sour face, nearly ready to drop to his knees.
"President, please give me another chance for the sake of my years of service with you!"
In fact, I remembered when I was still Mrs. Gu.
Luo Zizhou was always two-faced with me.
Often covering for Gu Yuanzhou.
Whenever Gu Yuanzhou failed to come home at night, he would always find a way to lie for him.
Looking back now, this man is the epitome of hypocrisy.
Outwardly, he treated me with utmost respect, always addressing me as Mrs. Gu.
But behind my back, who knows how much dirt he had done.
I couldn't help but pour salt in the wound, smiling,
"I think we should give Mr. Luo another chance, after all, he is a veteran employee! I heard the security department is understaffed, if Mr. Luo still wants to serve the company, he can give it a try."
Though I merely mentioned it in passing, Gu Yuanzhou actually transferred Luo Zizhou to the security department.
Good, his loyal dog nature is well suited for guarding his master's gate.
After Luo Zizhou was transferred,
The secretary position by Gu Yuanzhou's side became vacant.
At this point, I wrote another letter of self-recommendation, asking to be Gu Yuanzhou's secretary.
This letter of recommendation I wrote was over ten thousand words.
From the company's operations, down to the core competitiveness of the brand, to the direction of development in the clothing market brand...
Along with the most researched information, which I collated and left on Gu Yuanzhou's office desk.
I wonder, is this behavior too proactive from my part?
Gu Yuanzhou has always had a suspicious mind.
Will this make him doubt me?
But I am very clear I have to do this.
On second thought, after having our second child I returned to the family to be a full-time mom.
These past few years, I have had no knowledge of Gu Yuanzhou's social life outside.
And with Luo Zizhou's deceit, he hid Gu Yuanzhou's private life perfectly.
I have only to become his secretary.
To have a chance to understand him completely.
So I can find out if he has a mistress outside.
Whether that fire has anything to do with him at all?
All this, all these mysteries, could be resolved.
However, after submitting the recommendation letter, Gu Yuanzhou did not immediately respond to me, but went on a business trip afterwards, not showing up for several days in a row.
Surprisingly, Wenya actually called me.
After getting off work one day, when I was about to go back to my rented room.
Wenya's call came through to Song Xiaoyun's phone, it was the same phone number I called a few times and got scolded for.
In order to avoid being scolded again, I decided to be more rational, not to mention anything about reincarnation, soul transmigration and such metaphysical events right away.
But Wenya took the initiative to mention the matter of reincarnation...
"It was you who called me last time, wasn't it?"
"It was me!"
"What did you say?"
"I am Song Xiaoyun, I am Song Yun's friend... she mentioned you to me before..."
"Bullshit, not this, you didn't say this that day, you said something about... reincarnation?"
I calmed myself down before muttering,
"Yes... I am Song Yun. My soul was reborn in this body."
"I'll give you a chance, send me your old WeChat's...my birthday..."
"Alright!"
This was easy, I had already logged onto WeChat yesterday.
So, I did the same, logged back into WeChat, found Wenya's profile, and sent her a string of numbers.
We celebrated Wenya's birthday together every year, so of course, I knew it by heart.
After sending the numbers.
Wenya's call came again.
"Okay, I believe you, let's meet tonight. See you at our usual spot!"
Having said that, she hung up the phone.
I thought, perhaps because I changed my WeChat profile picture the day before yesterday, it triggered her curiosity and caused her to call and ask about it.
Relieved, as long as I meet with Wenya, I'll be able to clarify Gu Yuanzhou's infidelity.
She must have seen it with her own eyes, otherwise, she wouldn't have said those things to me without reason.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
I arrived at the place where I promised to meet Wenya, our old spot, the karaoke bar.
We used to gather here when we celebrated birthdays.
We gathered a lot before I got married, after giving birth to my second child, I hardly had time to come out.
I headed straight for room number eight.
As I pushed open the door of the room, it was pitch black inside. Just as I was wondering why, a large sack dropped from the sky and thoroughly wrapped me up.
Then, I was knocked to the ground and my hands were tied up.
What the hell is going on?
"Let me go, you've got the wrong person!"
I shouted loudly.
Then someone poured a glass of cold water on me, "Quiet down, or we'll send you to meet your maker!"
I stopped struggling and remained silent.
A few minutes later, the lights in the room went on and the sack originally covering my head was removed.
