After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

“How shameless.”

"Hey, you can't resort to personal attacks just because you can't beat me."

"Screw you."

The neighbor chatted and laughed with Gu Yannian for a few moments before they both went back to their rooms.

After the whole ordeal with Zhang Yaodong today, Gu Yannian was exhausted. He slumped on the sofa, looking at the honey water he had just made for Su Yanxi, feeling a mix of emotions.

If he could, he really didn't want to have any further entanglement with Su Yanxi.

Because without him, Su Yanxi can live a better life!

Meanwhile, Su Yanxi, who had already left, had been standing downstairs for quite some time. She didn't know why she was standing there; did she still hope that Gu Yannian would come after her and try to stop her?

No, no, if Gu Yannian wanted to keep her, she would have done so before she left.

Thinking back to the question she had just asked Gu Yannian, Su Yanxi felt like a joke.

She felt sorry for Gu Yannian's suffering, but she never expected that Gu Yannian was living a very carefree life.

That's true. Even a broken ship has three thousand nails. Even if the Gu family goes bankrupt, they will still leave other assets to their only son, Gu Yannian.

Her feeling of pity was purely wishful thinking!

Just then, my phone rang.

Su Yanxi snapped out of her reverie and answered the phone. Zhao Xu's voice came through the phone: "President Su, those people who were fired today are causing trouble at the company. Do you think we need the legal department to get involved?"

"Let the person in charge of the subsidiary handle the subsidiary's affairs."

"Then I'll talk to the HR department of the subsidiary."

"Also, tell them that if this matter is not resolved properly, everyone from the person in charge to the HR department will have three months' performance bonus deducted, and their year-end bonus will be canceled."

"Yes."

Su Yanxi hung up the phone, took one last look at Gu Yannian's room, and turned to leave.

The next day.

Gu Yannian had just entered the office and hadn't even had a chance to sit down when Cui Xiue rushed in, saying, "President Gu."

"So early? Is there something you need?"

Gu Yannian was unaware of what had happened at the company yesterday, and after sitting down, she asked a question in a calm and unhurried manner.

“Yesterday, several people from the planning department and the advertising department went to the head office and made a scene. Assistant Zhao said that this matter should be handled by General Manager Gu. If it is not handled properly, General Manager Gu and everyone in our HR department will have three months' performance bonus deducted and their year-end bonuses will be canceled.”

Cui Xiu'e received a call from Zhao Xu last night and was so anxious that she couldn't sleep all night.

When Zhao Xu came to the personnel department yesterday to inform her that Zhou Yi and a few others were going to be fired, she knew that Zhou Yi and the others would definitely cause trouble.

I originally thought that even if there was a fuss, it would only go to the head office, where there is a legal department that would handle it.

Unexpectedly, the matter was pushed back to their side.

If this isn't handled properly, not only will three months' performance bonus be deducted, but her year-end bonus will also be canceled. Wouldn't that be the death of her?

"What are they causing trouble at headquarters for?"

Gu Yannian was completely confused. He had spent the entire afternoon and evening with Su Yanxi and Zhao Xu yesterday, but he hadn't heard Zhao Xu say anything to him.

Cui Xiu'e was somewhat surprised to see that Gu Yannian was unaware of the situation. She had seen Gu Yannian and Su Yanxi leave together yesterday and assumed that Gu Yannian knew as well.

"President Gu, didn't you know? Yesterday, Assistant Zhao came to our HR department and told us to fire Zhou Yi and Li Xiang from the Planning Department, as well as Zhao Fan and Li Jian from the Advertising Department. We notified them before leaving get off work yesterday!"

"What's the reason?"

"I don't know. Assistant Zhao only said it was the chairman's order. Mr. Gu, what should we do now?"

Cui Xiu'e was extremely anxious and could only place her hopes on Gu Yannian.

Upon hearing that this was Su Yanxi's arrangement, Gu Yannian became even more puzzled.

Why would Su Yanxi fire these people for no reason?

On second thought, Gu Yannian seemed to have realized something.

Were these the people who were talking about him behind his back in the break room yesterday?

Did Su Yanxi fire them to vent her anger?

Seeing that Gu Yannian remained silent, Cui Xiu'e urged, "President Gu, do you have a solution?"

"Wait a minute, let me ask."

Gu Yannian gestured for Cui Xiue to calm down, then took out her phone and made a call. The call was quickly answered, and Gu Yannian immediately said, "President Su, I..."

"Mr. Gu."

The person who answered the phone was not Su Yanxi, but Zhao Xu.

Gu Yannian paused for a moment, then asked, "Assistant Zhao, where is President Su?"

On the other side, Zhao Xu glanced at Su Yanxi, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window deep in thought, and could only lower his voice to answer, "President Su is in a meeting. Is there anything you need, President Gu?"

"I'd like to ask President Su about Zhou Yi and the others."

"President Gu, President Su has said that this matter is entirely in your hands. President Su means that those people absolutely cannot stay in the company anymore."

"What's the reason for the dismissal? You can't dismiss someone without a cause, can you?"

"Mr. Gu, your job is to get them to leave and stop causing trouble. Mr. Su, I have other matters to attend to. Goodbye."

Zhao Xu hung up the phone and looked at Su Yanxi: "President Su, I have replied as you instructed. However, are you really not going to let the legal team go? Zhou Yi and his group are not easy to deal with. If things get out of hand, I'm worried that President Gu will suffer."

"He'll eat anything, but he'll never suffer hardship or be taken advantage of!"

Su Yanxi gazed at the distant scenery, determined to ignore the matter.

On the other end of the line, Cui Xiu'e saw Gu Yannian put down the phone and asked, "President Gu, what did President Su say?"

"President Su was in a meeting, so Assistant Zhao answered the phone. Assistant Zhao said that this matter would be entirely handled by me!"

Before Gu Yannian could finish speaking and before Cui Xiue could even open her mouth, Zhang Xiao from the Human Resources Department knocked on the door and came in: "President Gu, Sister Cui, something terrible has happened! Zhou Yi and his group are here again, and they're causing a ruckus in the office area right now."

Upon hearing this, Cui Xiu'e immediately looked at Gu Yannian.

Gu Yannian originally wanted Su Yanxi to retract her order, but now it seems unlikely. He could only bite the bullet and deal with it: "I'll go take a look."

"Mr. Gu, should we call security up?"

"Don't call out yet, lest things get out of hand."

Gu Yannian rejected Cui Xiue's suggestion, saying that calling security at this time would only escalate the conflict.

Cui Xiu'e was nervous, but she could only do as Gu Yannian asked.

The three of them rushed towards the office area. Before they even entered, they heard Zhou Yi and the others cursing loudly inside. Li Xiang blamed everything on Gu Yannian.

"Gu Yannian is a pretty boy who climbed the social ladder by relying on women. Just because we know how he got there, he wants to fire us. He's shameless."

"That's right, he's a gigolo. He can fire us today for this reason, and he can fire you tomorrow."

Hearing the shouting and cursing inside, Cui Xiu'e asked softly, "President Gu, what should we do?"

Gu Yannian listened for a while, then turned her head and instructed, "Go and find all their attendance and expense reports, and bring them to the conference room."

Cui Xiu'e responded and instructed Zhang Xiao to take care of it. After Zhang Xiao left, Gu Yannian led Cui Xiu'e into the office area.
