Chapter 37

The next day, the weather was nice.

When she walked toward the Gu Corporation, there was sunlight on her face; the spring sunshine always carried a hint of warmth.

But sensing the strange gazes all around, her good mood was instantly shattered.

Pairs of eyes stared at her, making her feel like a monkey being watched, which was annoying.

She pulled up her hood, strode into the Gu Corporation, and walked into the Planning Department.

Sitting down at her office and opening her computer, the assistant saw her and was a bit surprised, asking hesitantly, "Minister Qin, you, why are you here?"

Qin Yan was even more puzzled than her. "During work hours, shouldn't I be here?"

The assistant coughed lightly and explained awkwardly, "Didn't you see the announcement? You've been fired."

"... Why wasn't I notified?" Qin Yan felt awkward and stood up to walk out. She noticed all the employees in the Planning Department were staring at her; some were gloating, some were watching the drama, and some were whispering that she wouldn't be proud for long and had been kicked out anyway.

She furrowed her brows, straightened her back, and strode out of the Planning Department, where she ran into Xu Lan.

Xu Lan waved at her with a smile, "Miss Qin, good morning. Now that you are no longer a minister, it's really a pity. Sometimes, handsome and rich men can't be relied on either. Look, they fire you just like that, very cold-blooded!"

Qin Yan took a breath, also raised a smile, walked to Xu Lan's side, and whispered, "There are many rich and handsome men. If they can't be relied on, I'll just change. Can you do that?"

"You... shameless, you really aren't pretending at all." Xu Lan gritted her teeth in anger.

Qin Yan said coquettishly, "I'm not pretending, I'm telling the truth. Besides, it's just a Minister of the Planning Department at the Gu Corporation; it doesn't earn much money."

She tapped her own earrings. "Working for several years, you couldn't even buy one of my earrings. Oh my, I accidentally showed off my wealth."

The earrings on her ears were given to her by Lu Qianchuan, to compensate for the earrings she had chosen that he had previously pushed onto Lin Yan.

"..." Xu Lan's face flushed red with anger.

Qin Yan laughed lightly, raised her hand, and patted Xu Lan on the shoulder. "Work hard, Minister Xu, don't miss me too much."

"Bitch, so arrogant, let's see how long you can be proud!" Xu Lan cursed in a low voice.

Qin Yan heard it, didn't stop her pace, and walked toward the Personnel Department.

She asked the Personnel Department why she was fired without being notified.

The Minister of the Personnel Department apologized, saying it was an emergency and they were just about to notify her.

"Who made the decision? What is the reason for firing me? I haven't done anything, there shouldn't be any mistakes in my work, right?"

The Minister of the Personnel Department lowered his head, unable to withstand the pressure of her gaze, and could only say, "This was the CEO's decision."

"Heh." Qin Yan laughed, turned around, and went upstairs to find Gu He'an.

Arriving at the CEO's office, she saw Gu He'an and Lin Yan talking. She pushed the door open and entered, saying with a smile, "He'an, I just saw the announcement that I'm being fired. Why wasn't I notified in advance?"

Gu He'an saw her smile and felt a bit guilty for a moment.

"This matter blew up, and it has too much impact on the Gu Corporation. I was worried that the new product launch would be affected, so I had the Public Relations Department issue a notice."

Listening to his high-sounding reasons, Qin Yan asked in confusion, "Have you seen the comments online?"

"I..." Gu He'an hesitated; he didn't know much.

Qin Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud. You have time to handle Miss Lin's affairs, but you are indifferent to her affairs.

Because you don't care, you can discard her easily.

"Then you fired me, will it be good for the Gu Corporation?" she questioned.

"Xiaoyan, I know you will be sad about this result, but I am not just your husband," Gu He'an stood up, walked to her side, held her hand, and said, "As the CEO, I must consider the big picture. For the sake of the company's interests, I have no choice but to do this. After the storm of this matter passes, I will clarify things for you."

The storm has passed, clarifying has no use!

Qin Yan shook off his hand and sneered, "So, you didn't investigate this matter clearly, but you want to discard my reputation and let me bear the infamy?"

Firing her and distancing himself from the Gu Corporation, letting her face the public opinion alone.

Last night, Lu Qianchuan asked her if Gu He'an would fire her, and she had been hesitant at the time.

Now it seems, she was still stupid.

How could she have had even a shred of expectation for him?

Gu He'an was questioned, and his expression was ugly.

Lin Yan, who was on the side, spoke up, "Miss Qin, those netizens online are indiscriminate, which is very wrong, but if you hadn't poured paint on Sanshan and hit her, this matter wouldn't have fermented so severely.

Calm down this time. After a while, when this matter passes, you can still return to the company."

Qin Yan looked at her coldly. Wasn't everything she said blaming her for blowing this matter up? Such a result was what she deserved.

Gu He'an is not a good thing, and this woman is also annoying.

Knock, knock, knock.

The door to the CEO's office was knocked.

Qin Yan turned her head and saw Xu Lan coming over.

Xu Lan said, "CEO, the signing with Mr. Su has been agreed upon. I have modified the new document, please take a look."

Secretary Lin stepped forward to take the document, "Give the document to me. If there are no problems after checking, we can sign today."

Qin Yan looked at the document and furrowed her brows, "After such a big incident, you still want to find Su Jing as the spokesperson for the new product?"

The initiator of this public opinion was Su Jing, who could demand an endorsement just to raise the price. Collaborating with such a person, aren't you disgusted?

Lin Yan smiled and explained, "Miss Qin, you might not understand these company matters. The selection of this spokesperson was discussed by us together. Signing with him is for the good of the Gu Corporation."

Lin Yan watched her frustrated face and felt happy inside.

This woman made people gossip about her as soon as she entered the company and even kicked Jiang Tong away. It was a rare opportunity, so of course, she had to kick her out.

"Miss Qin, working at the company is not fun, and the CEO is busy and can't accompany you."

Listening to the woman's order to leave, Qin Yan took a deep breath, suppressed her temper, and still spoke nicely to Gu He'an, "Su Jing really isn't suitable for the Gu Corporation. I hope you will consider it carefully."

Gu He'an frowned, and Xu Lan, who was standing by the door, asked with a smile, "Miss Qin, you wouldn't be saying this because Su Jing said a couple of things about you online and you are holding a grudge against him, would you?"

Lin Yan also hooked a cold smile at the corner of her lips, her tone toward her carrying a bit of contempt, saying, "Choosing Su Jing is our careful decision. Miss Qin, don't throw a temper tantrum here and affect our work."

Qin Yan clenched her fists. Originally, she didn't want the Gu Corporation to be implicated. Since he insisted on doing so, if she continued to speak, she would look even more like a bad person.

"Since you want to consider the big picture, I respect your decision. However, Gu He'an, back then, when your life was in danger, I was willing to accompany you. Now, you can't even withstand this little wave and want to discard me. It really makes me sad."

She looked at him sarcastically and turned to walk out of the office.

Gu He'an heard this and felt panicked. He reached out to grab her, but didn't catch her.

He wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Lin Yan.

Lin Yan said, "CEO, there are still many things in the company waiting for you to handle. Miss Qin said those things in a fit of pique. In a few days, she will definitely come back to find you. You are registered for marriage, and she loves you so much, she won't run away."

"But, that share contract..."

"The most important thing now is to handle the current matter. Miss Qin doesn't understand anything about company management, and her parents don't love her. She has no one to rely on, she can only rely on you. Later, we will think of a way, there must be a way to make her sign the contract." Lin Yan persuaded.

Last night, to comfort her, Gu He'an said that as long as Qin Yan transferred all the shares to him, he would give her three percent. That was a not-insignificant amount, how could she miss it?

This Qin Yan couldn't escape her palm either!

Gu He'an looked at the doorway. The look Qin Yan gave him just now made his heart sting.
