Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Arrogant and Boastful Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Arrogant and Boastful “You–!”
Wu Xinxin was livid, and Su Yunjin continued, “Miss Wu, I might as well tell you, I indeed disapprove of my husband continuing to keep the books for Hongyun Building after resigning. However, my husband is a decent man. Once he has promised to do something for Hongyun Building, he will do it. As for why my husband said today he will no longer help at Fuman Building, I do not know. Perhaps it’s related to your father, Shopkeeper Wu.”
The words Su Yunjin spoke without much thought truly had something to do with Wu Xinxin’s father, of course, Su Yunjin came to know of it only after Gu Ya returned.
“Su Yunjin, stop spouting nonsense in front of me; my father would never do such a thing.” Her father also greatly admired Brother Gu’s bookkeeping skills.
How could her father refuse to allow Brother Gu to keep books at Hongyun Building anymore? This was simply Su Yunjin talking nonsense. She hadn’t forgotten why she came here.
Wu Xinxin looked around at Su Yunjin’s establishment, such a tiny shop, truly shabby, “Su Yunjin, look at this place of yours. So small, so what if you’ve opened it? It’s just another losing venture. Brother Gu has such great skills in bookkeeping, letting him manage a tavern , it’s simply ruining Brother Gu’s prospects.”
Only if Brother Gu were to manage a place like their tavern could he have a good future and a respectable position. Only their Hongyun Building could make Brother Gu even better.
The tavern was Su Yunjin’s hard work, she absolutely wouldn’t allow others to speak a word ill of it in front of her.
“Miss Wu, how my tavern fares is my business, and it’s not your place to point fingers!” Su Yunjin said with a cold smile, her face dripping with irony.
“As for my man, he certainly doesn’t need Miss Wu worrying over him!”
Wu Xinxin was taken aback by Su Yunjin’s retort, her face turning rather unsightly.
Of course, Wu Xinxin’s words had an implication, “I was merely considering what’s best for Brother Gu out of kindness, not wanting someone to obstruct his future.”
Su Yunjin was even more amused.
She really didn’t know where Wu Xinxin got the nerve to say such things. Hongyun Building was just an ordinary tavern. Not to mention being an Accountant at Hongyun Building, even being the manager of the entire Hongyun Building wasn’t necessarily promising, was it?
“Su Yunjin, as a countrywoman, it’s no wonder you lack discernment. But listen well, I’ll tell you, a grand tavern like ours is the place for Brother Gu. For Brother Gu to keep the books at Hongyun Building, now that’s honorable.”
Wu Xinxin wore a face of pride and satisfaction.
In town, there were few who had not heard of their Hongyun Building. She thought Su Yunjin, after hearing her words, would be shamed into letting Brother Gu work for their Hongyun Building.
She hadn’t expected that after hearing her words, Su Yunjin would burst into laughter, “Am I not right? What are you laughing at, Su Yunjin? Do you really want Brother Gu to waste his life away in your little tavern?”
Wu Xinxin’s tone was increasingly arrogant and proud.
“Su Yunjin, if you truly have Brother Gu’s best interests at heart, for the sake of his future prospects, I advise you to let Brother Gu continue to be an Accountant at our Hongyun Building.”
Wu Xinxin was smug, but she didn’t expect Gu Ya’s voice to suddenly come from behind, “Miss Wu, how my future fares is hardly your concern, isn’t it?”
Turning instinctively, Wu Xinxin saw Gu Ya, who had arrived without her noticing.
“Gu… Brother Gu?” Upon seeing Gu Ya, Wu Xinxin’s previously arrogant demeanor weakened by more than half.
