675: Chapter 675: The Feeling of Being Protected by Husband 1 More (1)_1 675: Chapter 675: The Feeling of Being Protected by Husband 1 More (1)_1 Jian Ran was most deft at…not acting affected in any way.
But…it did depend on the person.
Now that she finally had an opportunity to crush Dong Qin, naturally, she couldn’t miss it.
So…now, she had to act affected, wronged.
How could she not demand an apology from the other party?
If it were anyone else on any regular day, Jian Ran would normally turn a blind eye.
But the person in question was Dong Qin, and she simply couldn’t tolerate it…she wouldn’t tolerate it.
If it came to shedding tears…it wasn’t like she couldn’t do it.
Witnessing Dong Qin’s obviously unapologetic and haughty attitude, Jian Ran stretched out her small hand and fiercely pinched the back of her own hand, immediately bringing pain and her beautiful eyes to redden.
I know that I’ve only been at the Gu Family for a few months and am not a long-standing employee…an old staff member.
But since coming to the Gu Family, I’ve not belittled myself; I’ve been exceedingly humble in doing every task.
I landed the design project for Dongheng International, I landed the new building design project for the Han Family, and I landed the design project for the Bon Group as well.
I treat the Gu Family with dedication and loyalty to the utmost.”
Okay…Jian Ran wouldn’t tell the complete truth; although she loved her job in design, well…providing for the family was also very important.
Indeed, the most important reason she valued the Gu Family was for the generous salary and bonuses.
Except when it came to Gu Mochen, that skinflint, any increases in salary or bonuses were by paltry amounts like five or twenty yuan.
Dong Qin, seeing Jian Ran’s eyes reddening on the spot, had her expression change…it was too late to intervene.
Because Jian Ran looked so pitiable, it was quite heartrending.
Compared to her usual aloof demeanor, Jian Ran’s current appearance clearly showed she had been greatly wronged.
The other staff members in the design department who were present in the conference room immediately sided with Jian Ran after witnessing this turn of events.
“Sigh, it really isn’t easy for Jian Ran.
Look at those tear-filled eyes; it’s so heartbreaking.”
“Isn’t that the truth?
The last time it was Mrs.
Dong and Lan Xing who were making a fuss together…Jian Ran couldn’t defend herself at all.”
“What do you know…bullying by virtue of power, that’s what matters the most.”
What’s happening here.
Dong Qin’s mouth twitched slightly before she retorted, “Jian Ran, what are you trying to say?”
Dong, if you don’t like me, just say it…
My sincere affection for the Gu Family has started to cool down, it’s indeed very disheartening.”
After finishing, Jian Ran feigned a sniffle, her voice husky.
“If Lan Xing didn’t have your backing, would she blatantly tell such lies?
Now…there’s idle gossip within Dongheng, and I…I’m afraid I truly don’t belong at the Gu Family’s design department…”
Jian Ran’s words were like needles, causing Dong Qin’s expression to sour.
Then, Jian Ran, with meaningful eyes, looked at Dong Qin right in front of her and paused…
before she continued.
“So, I need some justice, Mrs.
I am not a person who covets fame and wealth…
I don’t need any compensation money or anything of that sort.
It’s just that I feel a due apology is needed…
If I can’t hold my head high in the Gu Family from now on, that would be one thing…
What worries me more is that other new staff members joining the Gu Family might start to think that this is a place where newbies are bullied and the old guard sticks together.
I’m afraid that if this continues for the long term, the reputation will suffer, and the Gu Family might fall into disrepute in Yuncheng City, which I imagine isn’t something you would want to see, right?”
