Gu Yan saw that he had revealed his true colors so quickly and knew he wasn't just there to apologize.
She frowned slightly, "What do you want?"
"You must accept my apology and forgive me today! Then say good things about the company in front of Director Ye!" Supervisor Zhao ordered arrogantly.
Gu Yan frowned, "What if I don't?"
"If you refuse, don't blame me for not approving your resignation. You won't even get last month's salary and bonus!" Supervisor Zhao threatened.
He knew Gu Yan cared a lot about money and seemed to be in desperate need of it.
Even after getting close to Director Ye, she was still so short of money, which indicated that Director Ye wasn't treating her particularly well. Therefore, he wasn't worried.
"You!" Gu Yan was so angry her whole body trembled, her fists clenched. She couldn't believe such a shameless person existed in the world.
"Hmph, what are you talking about? Do you really think I can't do anything to you?" Supervisor Zhao boasted.
"Zhao Lie, have you eaten the heart of a leopard and the gall of a bear to dare provoke women outside for this old lady of mine!" At this moment, a furious roar came from the hospital room door, followed by the door being kicked open roughly.
A plump, imposing woman, with flesh all over her body, stood at the doorway with her hands on her hips.
"W-Wife, why are you here?" Supervisor Zhao trembled all over when he saw her. The smugness from before had vanished, and he was as timid as a dog with its tail tucked.
Anyone familiar with Supervisor Zhao knew he was a henpecked husband who feared his wife. The only reason he could establish himself in the capital was because he had married a local resident of the capital.
And this wife was particularly fierce, notorious on their street as a shrew. She hated men cheating and philandering the most.
Her first marriage ended because her ex-husband was caught with a mistress, and she immediately divorced him, taking nothing with her. She later married Zhao Lie, whom she met through a blind date.
They had been married for seven or eight years, and Zhao Lie had always appeared loyal in front of her. Who knew that just now she suddenly received a message saying her husband was philandering outside, and what's more, he was messing with someone they couldn't afford to offend. The message also included the hospital's address.
She happened to be shopping at a nearby mall, so she rushed over immediately, only to find it was true!
"If I hadn't come, you would have rebelled and taken over the heavens, wouldn't you! Who gave you the courage of a leopard and the gall of a bear to philander outside behind my back." Madam Zhao said, stepping forward and kicking Supervisor Zhao in the backside.
Supervisor Zhao didn't dare to dodge and took the kick squarely. He clutched his rear and quickly explained, "Wife, you've misunderstood. I didn't! I am absolutely loyal to you!"
"Loyal my foot! Wait until I deal with you when we get home!" Madam Zhao said, raising her hand and punching him again.
Then, she smiled and apologized to Gu Yan, who was sitting by the hospital bed, "Miss Gu, I'm sorry for disturbing you. Don't worry, I'll castrate him when I get home, and see if he dares to provoke women outside again!"
After speaking, she twisted Zhao Lie's ear and dragged him out of the ward, attracting curious glances from many passersby.
This made Zhao Lie feel very embarrassed. "Ouch, ouch, ouch, wife, be gentle! We're outside, can you give me some face?"
Madam Zhao: "You know about face now? What were you doing earlier?"
Their voices faded into the distance, and the ward finally became quiet. Gu Yan had just breathed a sigh of relief when Ye Qichen walked in.
"Everything has been resolved. Later, their HR will come to process your resignation and settle your salary."
With that one sentence, Gu Yan knew that Ye Qichen had orchestrated all of this behind the scenes, including Madam Zhao's arrival.
Her heart warmed. He always appeared when she was most vulnerable, like an angel.
"Thank you, Qichen. I'm always troubling you to help me," Gu Yan said sincerely.
"You're welcome. The sooner this is resolved, the sooner our accounting firm can start operating," Ye Qichen said.
Hearing this, Gu Yan was slightly stunned. "You're helping me just to get the company running as soon as possible?"
"Uh-huh," Ye Qichen replied.
This response made Gu Yan feel a little disappointed. Did he have no other intentions towards her? Even though they had been intimate last night, was his help now purely a matter of business interest?
Her lips moved, wanting to say something, but afraid that further questioning would displease him.
"You should rest first. I have things to do and need to leave. When you're rested and convenient, we can start registering the company. If you need anything, contact me on WeChat," Ye Qichen said, glancing at his watch.
"Okay." Gu Yan nodded and watched him leave the ward. Her heart instantly felt empty.
Last night, hadn't he accepted her confession?
Were they not in a relationship now?
Or was she just overthinking everything?
Gu Yan felt increasingly uncertain about Ye Qichen's feelings for her. Sometimes, she felt he liked her, but other times, she felt they were very distant.
For the next three months, Gu Yan had no time to dwell on this issue.
The company's HR soon found her, processed her resignation, paid her salary and bonus, and even gave her a subsidy as compensation.
Gu Yan was in dire need of money and accepted it all without any politeness. The next day, she began the process of registering an accounting firm. Da Feng Novel Network.
She named the company "Chen Yan Accounting Services Co., Ltd.," a homophone of their names. Ye Qichen had no objections and left the entire process to her.
Afterward, selecting the company location, renting office space, decorating, and hiring staff were all handled by Gu Yan alone. Ye Qichen only provided the funds and didn't even show his face. Da Feng Novel.
Gu En hadn't seen Ye Qichen since they met at the dinner party that day.
He found it strange. Didn't Duoduo say that after they drank the tonic, their relationship would improve?
Why did it seem like there was no effect at all? Moreover, Uncle Ye didn't come to their house anymore.
And Mother seemed to be busier than before.
"Mom, Uncle Ye hasn't been to our house in a while."
This evening, Gu Yan, rarely finishing her work early, returned to have dinner with her son.
At the dinner table, Gu En asked.
Hearing this, Gu Yan calculated the time. Although she and Ye Qichen contacted each other on WeChat daily, they hadn't seen each other for nearly three months. The last time they met was on the day she resigned.
"Uncle Ye is usually very busy and doesn't have time to visit, but he will come when Mom and Uncle Ye's company opens," Gu Yan explained.
She said this to comfort her son, and also to comfort herself.
Because she missed Ye Qichen too.
Gu En frowned upon hearing this, looking unconvinced. Duoduo had said that her uncle took them to an amusement park for a whole day last weekend.
It didn't seem like he was very busy.
Could it be that the tonic last time wasn't enough?
After dinner, Gu En returned to his room and picked up his phone to message Duoduo. [Duoduo, do you still have the tonic you asked your mom for last time?]
