Chapter 767: Chapter 768: Xiao Xia, aren’t you going to toast President Gu?
With no other option, Xia Yangyang had to take the seat next to Gu Qichen.
Lin Yuanyuan’s eyes nearly popped out in disbelief as she glared at Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang moved to sit down, and to her surprise, Gu Qichen didn’t react.
Could it be that Gu Qichen still had interest in his ex-wife?
That’s what Lin Yuanyuan was thinking to herself.
Even if he did, it was only a natural human feeling.
Their relationship must have changed since they divorced otherwise they wouldn’t have ended up divorced in the first place.
Moreover, Gu Qichen was currently well-known for being fickle-hearted.
He essentially treated women as playthings.
Maybe he was just toying with her.
Looking at Xia Yangyang, she didn’t seem to desire more contact with Gu Qichen.
The more Xia Yangyang looked uncomfortable, the more relaxed Lin Yuanyuan felt.
Who would have thought Xia Yangyang would also have a day ?
During the banquet, the director and two department heads were continuously toasting Gu Qichen.
Halfway through, Lin Yuanyuan also stood up.
She walked to Gu Qichen’s side: “President Gu, I used to work as an intern in the secretarial department at Shengyuan due to your guidance, I grew there. This toast is to express my gratitude to you.”
Gu Qichen, being a gentleman, clinked glasses with her: “Zhiwei and I are friends, taking care of Miss Lin was my duty.”
Hearing Gu Qichen say this, Lin Yuanyuan felt a bitterness inside.
Gu Qichen appeared to have completely forgotten about those past incidents.
Back then, she had just argued with Xia Yangyang in the secretarial department.
Gu Qichen had openly asked her to resign in front of everyone.
The reason given was that his wife found her displeasing.
At that moment, she became a laughingstock of the entire secretarial department and even the whole Shengyuan Building.
Lin Yuanyuan had never been so humiliated in her life.
Gu Qichen had the audacity to say he took care of her? Was this his way of doing so?
She gulped down the half glass of wine. It tasted bitter and astringent.
All these years and she still hadn’t been able to put this behind her.
Now that she had a chance to interact with Gu Qichen, she would definitely vent all her past grievances.
She wanted to make Gu Qichen regret choosing Xia Yangyang over her.
She wanted to show Gu Qichen that Xia Yangyang was just a pawn under her command and she was the truly exceptional and charming woman.
Still with a smile on her face, Lin Yuanyuan casually brought up the topic of Shengyuan’s promotional film.
“I am grateful to President Gu for giving our news department such a great opportunity. We will put all our effort into the promotional film for Shengyuan. As for the promotional script, I’ll personally take charge of it. I’ll present it to President Gu for review and will make any adjustments until you’re satisfied.”
Gu Qichen responded with a natural smile, “Director Lin, you’re always busy managing so many things. I shouldn’t bother the department head for such a trivial matter. Didn’t you just praise Miss Xia for being a talented and experienced expatriate? I think giving the script to Miss Xia would suffice.”
Lin Yuanyuan never expected Gu Qichen to pass the script to Xia Yangyang.
For a moment, Lin Yuanyuan couldn’t figure out Gu Qichen’s motive.
But since Gu Qichen already made his decision, she couldn’t insist on taking over without seeming overly eager and losing face.
Lin Yuanyuan pretended to be generous: “If that is President Gu’s decision, we will carry it out accordingly.”
After saying that, she turned to Xia Yangyang: “Xiao Xia, since President Gu values you so much, why don’t you toast President Gu?”
Xia Yangyang sighed inwardly.
Lin Yuanyuan had always held a grudge against her. This would surely escalate the situation.
What was Gu Qichen even doing? This was just setting her up as a target, wasn’t it?
