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

"President Gu is here!"

Upon seeing Gu Yannian, someone called out, and the previously noisy office area suddenly fell silent.

Cui Xiu'e glanced at Zhou Yi and his group, who were standing in the middle of the office area with red faces and thick necks, and spoke first: "Zhou Yi, Li Xiang, what are you doing? This is an office, what kind of behavior is this?"

"Cui Xiu'e, shut up! Who do you think you are, pointing fingers here?"

“Zhou Yi is right! Cui Xiue, no matter what, we were colleagues before. We weren't too bad to you, were we? And now? You took the benefits, so you're helping this pretty boy to go against us, right?”

Cui Xiu'e's face turned pale and then red as she was being criticized by Zhou Yi and Li Xiang in front of so many people: "Zhou Yi, Li Xiang, what you said is too awful!"

"If you think our words are harsh, then don't do things so poorly!"

Zhou Yi snorted coldly, looked Gu Yannian up and down, who had been standing there without saying a word, and said in a mean tone, "You gigolo who climbed the social ladder by relying on women, what else can you do besides live off women?"

"He can do a lot more, like whispering sweet nothings in someone's ear to eliminate dissidents. Well, he's a gigolo, what else can he do besides that?"

Li Xiang echoed Zhou Yi, saying whatever was most offensive.

"You, you..."

Cui Xiu'e truly didn't expect Zhou Yi and the others to say such harsh things, to the point that even she, who was usually sharp-tongued, didn't know how to refute them.

"Are you finished?"

Gu Yannian, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, drawing everyone's attention to him.

Gu Yannian is usually good-tempered at the company, and often has a smile on her face. But now, her cold expression is actually quite frightening.

"We're not finished yet! We have so much more to say! What, are you scared?"

Zhou Yi stepped forward, his imposing manner clearly indicating that he was the leader.

“If you want to resolve this, come with me to the meeting room. If you don’t want to resolve this, then you can continue arguing here.”

After saying that, Gu Yannian didn't wait for Zhou Yi and the others to reply, and turned to walk towards the conference room.

"Brother Zhou, what should we do?"

Li Xiang and the others surrounded Zhou Yi, wanting him to make a decision.

"Fine, I'll go. Do you think I'm afraid of that pretty boy?"

Zhou Yi didn't take Gu Yannian seriously at all; in his mind, Gu Yannian was just a freeloader. Since Zhou Yi had said that, Li Xiang and the others no longer hesitated and followed Zhou Yi to the conference room.

As soon as Zhou Yi and his group left, the office area erupted in a flurry of discussion.

Cui Xiu'e took a deep breath and shouted, "What's all this commotion? Don't you want to work anymore? Go back to work!"

Seeing that Cui Xiu'e was angry, the office area finally quieted down. Cui Xiu'e glared at everyone and walked towards the conference room.

In the conference room.

Zhou Yi, Li Xiang, and the other two sat opposite Gu Yannian, each more defiant than the last, their eyes filled with contempt as they looked at her.

Cui Xiu'e closed the meeting room door, then walked over and sat down next to Gu Yannian.

Gu Yannian glanced at the four people in front of her and spoke first: "You weren't satisfied with causing trouble at the head office yesterday, and now you want to cause trouble here today? Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

"Gu Yannian, stop putting on airs. You know how you got to your position, and we know it too. You think you can fire us for no reason? Let me tell you, that's not allowed!"

Zhou Yi slammed his fist on the table and replied fiercely, "If you can't give us a reasonable explanation, then we'll sue you!"

"Zhou Yi, I already told you the reason for your dismissal yesterday, what are you still making a fuss about?" Cui Xiu'e retorted, dissatisfied with Zhou Yi's attitude.

"You old woman, shut up!" Zhou Yi pointed at Cui Xiu'e and cursed, "Is passive resistance an excuse?"

"you……"

Gu Yannian pulled Cui Xiu'e back, telling her to stop arguing with Zhou Yi and the others.

No matter how skilled Cui Xiu'e is, she can't gain any advantage against four opponents.

“I understand that being suddenly fired is hard to accept, but that’s not a reason for you to cause trouble.” After calming Cui Xiu’e down, Gu Yannian slowly added, “Also, is it appropriate for a bunch of grown men to talk to a woman like that?”

Li Xiang had worked with Gu Yannian for a period of time, and what he disliked most about Gu Yannian was this way of being.

“Gu Yannian, others may not know what kind of person you are, but I know very well. You don’t need to give us any nonsense here. If you don’t give us an explanation today, we’re not leaving! Moreover, we’re going to show everyone your true colors, Gu Yannian, and let everyone see what kind of person you really are!”

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Zhang Xiao walked in with the documents.

Zhang Xiao handed the document to Gu Yannian, who took it and glanced at it a few times, already understanding the situation.

Putting the file aside, Gu Yannian looked up at Li Xiang with a cold expression.

When he worked with Li Xiang, he was tricked by Li Xiang quite a few times. Li Xiang is the epitome of a two-faced person!

"Li Xiang, you keep saying you're going to expose my true colors, so go ahead and do it if you dare! I, Gu Yannian, am a graduate of a prestigious university, and my work ability is evident to everyone. Do you really think you can fool me with just a few words?"

Gu Yannian spoke coldly, utterly unafraid of Li Xiang's threat: "As for you, a graduate of a lousy school, you got into the company through connections. You haven't even done anything yet, and you're already complaining. You even have to delegate your own work to others. And you, a married man, are trying to flirt with unmarried young women in the office during work hours. Speaking of shame, I'd like to see who's more shameful between the two of us!"

Li Xiang opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute it. He could only shout and curse to cover up his guilty conscience.

Zhou Yi pulled Li Xiang aside and said to Gu Yannian, "Gu Yannian, stop talking nonsense. If you don't give us an explanation, we'll sue you!"

"An explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?"

Gu Yannian's expression was cold, and she saw through Zhou Yi and the others' thoughts at a glance: "You went to the head office to make trouble yesterday because you knew that the notice of your dismissal was issued by the head office, and you wanted to plead for leniency. When the head office ignored you, you came to me to make trouble again."

I think the reason you're causing this scene today isn't to get an explanation from me, but rather to get compensation, right? If you hadn't pulled this stunt, I might have considered your demands. But now, I'm telling you the truth: you won't get a single penny of compensation. Even if you sue me, it won't do you any good!
