Before Meng Ning could say
anything, Gu Changmning hung up
the phone.
Calling her early in the morning just
to throw down harsh words?
Meng Ning frowned,not
understanding why Gu Changming
was so furious.
Clearly, it was Gu Changming's
shamelessness that got Fu Tingshu
taken away by the police, so why was
Gu Changming even angrier?
As Meng Ning pondered this, Qin
Huan called and said over the phone,
"Ning Bao, Gu Changming's law firm
has been investigated, their factory
has gone bankrupt, and they're deep
in debt. This news is all over our class group."
"How could this happen?" Meng Ning was very surprised.
Overnight, it felt like the whole world
had changed.
"He brought it on himself," Qin Huan
said angrily."Gu Changming is a
sanctimonious hypocriite. Even | was
almost fooled by him. Luckily, you got
married, otherwise I would have been the one to commit a sin by
matchmaking you two. That would
have harmed you. Gu Changming will do anything for money, driving
clients to jump off buiildings or
overdose on sleeping pills. The
families are causing ascene at his
firm."
Hearing this, Meng Ninig felt an
indescribable emotion.
It was fear.
Gu Changming, for the sake of fame
and fortune, disregarded the truth
and drove victims to suicide. Now
that he was at odds with her, he
certainly wouldn't let it go easily.
Thinking of Gu Changming's
threatening phone call just now,
Meng Ning felt a wave of panic.
Meng Ning asked, "Who exposed
these things?
She had just clashed with Gu
Changming, and his scandals were
exposed. He would definitely target
her.
What if Gu Changming went after Fu
Tingshu again?
"Wrongdoers will meet their end.
Maybe someone couldn't stand it and exposed him. Gu Changming
returned to the country because he
couldn't stay abroad anymore,Qin
Huan said, knowing full well who did
it, but she couldn't reveal it.
Some things had to be kept from
Meng Ning for now.
For now, Fu Tingshu seemed to
protect Meng Ning well, so she didn't
have to worry, as long as Meng Ning's secret didn't get exposed and ruin her relationship with Fu Tingshu.
Until Meng Ning secuired her position as the young mistress of the Fu family, Qin Huan had to keep that
secret and help Meng NJing and Fu
Tingshu stay together.
Although Gu Changming got his
comeuppance, Meng Ning still felt
uneasy.
After chatting a bit with Qin Huan,
Meng Ning went to the company to
report in, but ran into Ye Su, who had
interviewed with heer before.
Ye Su was also surprised to see MengNing,"Meng Ning, you got hired too? That's great, we'll be collleagues from now on."
Seeing a familiar face inan
unfamiliar environment made Meng
Ning feel a bit more at ease.
Meng Ning asked, "Have you already
checked in?"
"Yes, I have," Ye Su said cheerfully as
always. "It's a pity you were right last
time; we can't work at headquarters,
only at this subsidiary, far away from
my idol."
Meng Ning laughed,"Take it slow, it's
easy for a girl to pursule a guy. You're
so pretty, you'll definitely win him
over."
Hearing this, Ye Su was happy and
linked arms with Meng Nling. "When I
win over President Fu and become
the boss's wife of Shengyu Group, I'll
promote you to chief designer."
Meng Ning smiled and said, "Alright, I'll remember that."
The two of them hit it off and soon became friends. Ye Su, recalling the interview, said, "By the way, the interviewer with the surname Li from the last interview was fired. I don't know why, but I heard it happened right after your interview. Do you know what happened?"
"I have no idea," Meng Ning replied, unaware that the interviewer had been fired.
"Oh," Ye Su didn't press further. She said, "You should go check in quickly. The chief designer, Selina, will be here today. If all goes well, we'll be assigned to work as her assistants."
Being an assistant to the chief designer was a dream for many, as it was just one step away from becoming a real designer.
Meng Ning went to the HR department to check in first. The HR staff glanced at Meng Ning's file and immediately became very respectful, swiftly processing her onboarding paperwork.
"Ms. Meng, welcome aboard. We're colleagues now."
"Thank you," Meng Ning replied, wondering why the HR staff were so courteous to her. It seemed that people in large companies had high standards and didn't look down on her for only having a high school diploma.
The company's salary offer was also very high, much to Meng Ning's surprise: fifteen thousand per month, with a three-month probation period.
Large companies really didn't lack money, offering such a high salary even during the probation period.
Ye Su was waiting outside. When she saw Meng Ning come out, the two of them headed to the design department to check in together.
Meanwhile, in the president's office at Shengyu Group.
Fu Tingshu was reviewing documents when Fu Boxuan entered. "Brother, you're just giving sister-in-law an assistant position and transferring her to the branch office? Isn't that too much of a grievance for her?"
Fu Tingshu calmly replied, "A towering building rises from the ground up. Let her take it step by step and get familiar with the jewelry sector of the company, so it will be easier for her to take over in the future."
Fu Boxuan suddenly understood. "Brother, you're paving the way for sister-in-law."
Fu Tingshu put down his documents and said, "She will be a qualified mistress of the Fu family."
Fu Boxuan felt he had flattered the right person. If he could win over his sister-in-law, wouldn't he gain another powerful ally?
With a smile, Fu Boxuan leaned on the desk with both hands. "Brother, how was the movie with sister-in-law last night? Did things heat up? Any heart-fluttering moments? Holding hands, maybe a kiss?"
Recalling the movie, Fu Tingshu looked at Fu Boxuan with a deep gaze. "Your pocket money for the first half of next year is gone too."
"What? Why?" Fu Boxuan exclaimed, grabbing Fu Tingshu's arm. "Brother, I'm so poor I can hardly make ends meet. You've already cut off my allowance for this year, and now next year's too? I'll have to beg on the streets! We're brothers; why are you so ruthless?"
Fu Boxuan's exaggerated acting was so over the top that he was just short of squeezing out a few tears.
