"What are you all discussing? What's there to gossip about with tabloid news? Hurry up and prepare for the meeting! Otherwise, if someone can manage their affairs with a lover while you all are still at work and can't get things done, that would be embarrassing!"
"Vice President Liu, I see that Director Gu seems completely unfazed by everything happening outside. While the situation is chaotic, Director Gu remains so calm; it seems like the good show won't happen after all!"
The Junior Designer, who usually had a good relationship with Liu Xinran, eagerly spread the gossip.
"Whether there's a good show to watch or not, we'll find out soon enough. Now go prepare!"
With so many voices around, Liu Xinran didn't bother to engage with them much. If she guessed correctly, the man whose face was blurred was likely the President!
She hadn't expected that Gu Lvq Qi and the President would have such a close relationship, which exceeded her expectations. She initially thought the President was just indulging in a fleeting whim, but now it seemed more complicated than that.
Fortunately, Yue Qingchen was about to return. By then, the President would likely settle down again. She was just waiting to see Gu Lvq Qi's miserable outcome!
········································
After more than an hour, the meeting finally concluded. Many department personnel who had come expecting to see a spectacle thought that Gu Lvq Qi would be distracted by the scandal and unable to focus on work. However, they were surprised to find her meeting materials so comprehensive.
She even provided detailed explanations on aspects they hadn't considered and had prepared plans for Bright Business City, along with arrangements for the Design Competition scheduled for early next month. This truly caught them off guard!
"Director Gu, may I ask if you will also participate in this architectural design competition?" Dave, the creative director, casually asked as he flipped through his materials. His narrow peach blossom eyes fell on her with a hint of appreciation.
From the day the President appointed her as Design Director, he knew this woman was extraordinary. Regardless of the President's judgment, just the confidence she exuded was not something an ordinary person could possess.
Even though she appeared calm and casual, there was an inexplicable charm about her that made people comply with her wishes, similar to that of the President.
It was precisely because she was a woman that it made her feel admiration!
"I will also present my work; the list of participating designers will be announced at the next meeting, so please give it your all!"
"Sure!"
"If there are no issues, then let's adjourn the meeting!"
After leaving the conference room, Liu Xinran stopped Green Qi in the hallway. "Director Gu, I need to talk to you!"
"Alright! Come to my office!"
In the quiet office, a faint scent of perfume lingered in the air. Green Qi raised an eyebrow at the woman sitting across from her, who seemed to have a tone of accusation.
She probably knew what Liu Xinran wanted to discuss—most likely about yesterday's gossip. It seemed she had figured out who the male lead in the rumors was.
Ever since she had exposed Liu Xinran's intentions last time, Liu had not caused her much trouble, even though she still felt unconvinced inside; she hadn't shown it overtly.
"Vice President Liu, just say what you need to say!" Leaning back in her chair, Green Qi lazily curled her lips into a smile, clearly disliking Liu's meddlesome attitude.
Liu Xinran did not hold back and got straight to the point: "You've been on a business trip with the President these past few days, right? The man blurred out in the newspaper is the President, isn't it?"
"You guessed it right! I wonder what Liu Vice President is going to say?"
"I just wanted to remind you that Yue Qingchen is coming back soon. If you know what's good for you, it's best to cut ties with President early. You might as well resign to avoid being fired later, which would be quite embarrassing!"
