The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

Chapter 439: Being clever but being misled by cleverness

Assistant Shi looked at Lin Qingran in astonishment, never expecting that Lin Qingran would distance herself from this matter.

Gu Moxuan's face was now very ugly, and his cold and sharp eyes were staring at him coldly.

Assistant Shi took a deep breath, barely daring to look at Gu Moxuan.

"Mr. Gu... I..."

A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his expression was one of helplessness.

If Lu Xueqi were still here, she might be able to say a few good words for me.

But Lu Xueqi isn't here now, so she can't help with his work scheduling at all.

Assistant Shi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his heart was pounding wildly.

Finally, somewhat exasperated, he looked at Gu Moxuan and decided to give up entirely.

"President Gu, I don't know what I did wrong. Over the years, you have never been willing to give me a chance, but I have remained loyal to you. I have never done anything to betray you or Emperor Group."

"I really don't know why they replaced me so suddenly."

Gu Moxuan looked at Assistant Shi with a cold and sharp gaze.

Assistant Shi looked at him blankly, as if she really didn't know what she had done wrong, her eyes filled with confusion.

Lin Qingran listened to Assistant Shi's words, glanced at Assistant Shi indifferently, then looked away and continued to look at the notebook in front of her.

Seeing Lin Qingran's calm demeanor, Assistant Shi felt displeased.

Even though Lin Qingran and Gu Moxuan had no relationship left, and he had chosen to stand on Lu Xueqi's side, Lin Qingran seemed to have risen from the ashes and returned to Gu Moxuan's side, squeezing out Lu Xueqi.

Now it's even threatening his own job.

Assistant Shi clenched his fists tightly, his expression one of resentment.

Gu Moxuan looked at Assistant Shi's expression, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He stared intently at Assistant Shi, his tone cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Are you unhappy with my arrangements?"

As Assistant Shi listened to Gu Moxuan's words, he swallowed hard and then nodded seriously.

"Yes, I am very dissatisfied with President Gu's arrangements."

Anyway, Gu Moxuan is a man of his word. Since Gu Moxuan has chosen to transfer him, he will have no status in the company in the future.

Before long, he will also face the disdain of his colleagues and choose to resign.

So he might as well just vent his frustrations about being by Gu Moxuan's side all these years now.

Assistant Shi is now completely adopting a "what's the use" attitude towards Gu Moxuan.

In the past, Assistant Shi would never have dared to speak to Gu Moxuan in such a tone.

At this moment, Assistant Shi looked at Gu Moxuan, his expression tense, yet with a strange courage.

Gu Moxuan gave Assistant Shi a cold, sharp glance, put down the documents in his hand, and said in a cold voice.

"Assistant Shi, do you dare ask yourself, what real achievements have you made in this position over the years?"

Assistant Shi was taken aback when he heard Gu Moxuan's words.

He reflected on his contributions to the company over the years. Whenever Gu Moxuan asked him to do something, he never refused, and he always stayed until the very end to work overtime.

He dares to say that he has never neglected his duties.

But as for how much benefit it brings to the company...

He himself did not have the same abilities as Yan Sui, and did not bring much benefit to the company.

He looked at Gu Moxuan, his eyes full of confusion.

At this moment, Gu Moxuan merely glanced at him indifferently, then spoke in a deep voice.

"Hasn't Assistant Shi's heart always been with Miss Lu? Now that I'm transferring you to Miss Lu's side to help her studio get started, isn't that what you wanted?"

Upon hearing Gu Moxuan's words, Assistant Shi's expression suddenly turned fearful.

He then realized that this was the reason Gu Moxuan had asked him to leave the company.

He thought that by helping Lu Xueqi, he would have found a powerful backer in the company, but he never expected that it would be because of Lu Xueqi that he would lose this respectable job.

He took a deep breath and immediately defended himself.

"Mr. Gu, there's really nothing between Ms. Lu and me. We're completely innocent. I..."

Gu Moxuan frowned upon hearing this.

Lin Qingran's lips curled slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

In Assistant Shi's mind, Lu Xueqi was always a very important person to Gu Moxuan. So even now, Assistant Shi still thought that Gu Moxuan had misunderstood the problem between him and Lu Xueqi because of his male possessiveness.

However, what Gu Moxuan was more concerned about was that the people around him were revealing company secrets to outsiders.

In this respect, Assistant Shi has never done as well as Yan Sui in his entire life.

Regardless of whether she and Yan Sui were once alumni or in a superior-subordinate relationship.

Because of these relationships, Yan Sui never revealed much about the internal affairs of the Emperor Group to her.

Yan Sui was almost always able to be extremely concise in his words when they didn't involve him.

This is why Yan Sui, who had already been assigned to manage the internal affairs of the Lin Group, still came to the Emperor Hotel to help Gu Moxuan with his affairs.

Over the years, Assistant Shi has stayed by Gu Moxuan's side, but all he has is ambition. He wants to consolidate his position by currying favor with people, but that will never work.

Someone like Gu Moxuan, who is ruthless when it comes to work, is almost impossible to retain any people because of personal relationships.

Gu Moxuan coldly withdrew his gaze from Assistant Shi, his eyes indifferent, and said in a deep voice.

"I was originally planning to give you a week to hand over your work to me, but it seems that's not necessary now. You can pack your things and leave tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Assistant Shi's expression changed drastically.

His gaze fell on Gu Moxuan, his eyes filled with deep resentment.

"Mr. Gu, our employment contract..."

Assistant Shi suddenly remembered that the labor contract between Gu Moxuan and him had expired, and the labor contract that was signed later was more like a temporary worker's contract.

He felt puzzled at the time.

However, during that period, his salary and bonuses were not affected in any way, so Assistant Shi did not ask Gu Moxuan what was going on.

Thinking back on these things now, Assistant Shi felt a chill run down his spine.

In fact, this man had already planned this a year ago, and could fire him at any time.

Gu Moxuan glanced indifferently at Assistant Shi, his expression unchanged, his gaze cold.

Seeing that Assistant Shi looked unsure of what to do next, Lin Qingran said in a low voice.

"Miss Lu's studio is now also affiliated with 'Starry Sky' Entertainment. So, Mo Xuan's decision to have you work at Miss Lu's studio is just a transfer. As for whether you stay or leave, it's entirely up to Assistant Shi."

Upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, Assistant Shi frowned, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

No matter what, he's currently the president's special assistant at a major company, and suddenly he's been demoted to be an assistant to a minor celebrity.

How will other people in this industry view him in the future?

He clenched his fists tightly at his sides, looked at Lin Qingran, and said with some resentment.

“Ms. Lin, that’s too much to ask of me. No matter what, Ms. Lu is just a minor celebrity, while before I came to Emperor, I was a top assistant at some of my superior companies. We’re on completely different levels.”

Lin Qingran smiled faintly and said softly.

"If Assistant Shi had realized his position earlier, things might have been different."

As the special assistant to the president of a large corporation, the thing Assistant Shi has done most over the years is to be subservient to Lu Xueqi.

If he had even a little bit of backbone, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Gu Moxuan sent him to "Starry Sky" Entertainment as a warning.

Upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, Assistant Shi's face turned pale instantly. It seemed that only at this moment did he realize the reason why Gu Moxuan had fired him.

"Mr. Gu, I..."

Assistant Shi suddenly realized what was going on and immediately tried to explain to Gu Moxuan, but Gu Moxuan simply waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

Assistant Shi's words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

His current situation perfectly illustrates what it means to be too clever for one's own good.
