After reading the letter, Gu Yusheng’s expression became cold and even frightening. The atmosphere in the room was charged with anger.
Although it was only one page, he spent 10 minutes reading and rereading the letter. Finally, he turned slowly toward Qin Zhi’ai. “You’re writing a resignation letter?”
Qin Zhi’ai didn’t say a word and looked down.
Gu Yusheng began to breathe heavily. He raised the paper up in his hand as though he would rebuke Qin Zhi’ai, but finally he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He lowered his arm and swallowed his words. He tore the paper into pieces and threw them in the trash can. “I don’t approve!” he said.
Then he glared at Xiaowang. “What the hell have you done? Do you still remember who’s the boss? How dare you fire my secretary without telling me!”
“I, I…” Xiaowang opened his mouth, but he could not speak. It was impossible for him to not offend either Old Master Gu or Master Gu.
Things could be easier if Gu Yusheng wasn’t so angry, but he stood there glaring at Xiaowang with his hands on his hips.
When Gu Yusheng saw Qin Zhi’ai’s wrist, though, he became concerned seeing how red and swollen it was, and then he grabbed her hand.
Seeing now that her clothes were wet and stained with tea, Gu Yusheng was now boiling with rage.
He turned his head and scolded Xiaowang again. “Didn’t you notice that she’s injured? Did you notice her clothes? Are you a fool? Why didn’t you take her to the hospital?”
“I, I…” Xiaowang wanted to fall on his knees. Of course he wanted to take her to the hospital, but he couldn’t go against Old Master Gu either.
“Why are you shouting at Driver Wang? It’s me who wanted to fire her!” Old Master Gu reached out his hand and banged on the table.
Gu Yusheng looked down and saw an envelope there. He let loose of Qin Zhi’ai’s wrist and walked to the table.
He picked up the envelope and, as he expected, it was stuffed full of cash. He raised his hand and threw the envelope at Liang Doukou’s face. “Are you crazy? Do you have anything else to do except to let grandpa fool with you every day?”
“Gu Yusheng!” Old Master Gu stood up swiftly, grabbed a magazine on the table, and threw it at Gu Yusheng. “Who do you think you’re talking to? How dare you treat Xiaokou like this?”
Gu Yusheng slightly moved his head to dodge the magazine. After glowering at Liang Doukou, he turned his head to Xiaowang standing helplessly beside him and shouted, “Didn’t you hear what I just said? Why are you standing there? Take her to the hospital!”
Without replying, Xiaowang rapidly ran to Qin Zhi’ai, pulled her arm, and took her out of the office.
When Xiaowang closed the door, Qin Zhi’ai heard Gu Yusheng angrily say, “Today, I am telling you that I will protect her now and forever. No one can fire her without my permission!”
