Chapter 638: The One Who Plays with Fire Will Get Burnt (2)

“Misjudged me? He never expected me to be such a person?” Xu Weilai thought.

These were obviously accusatory claims and if it could drive the gentle and polite Assistant Lin to say such a thing to her, it was obvious how awkward her current status as a secretary was.

However, Xu Weilai was completely clueless about the office politics in Gu Corporation, the relationship between Zuo Si, Zuo An and Gu Yu as well as the true extent of Zuo An’s influence in the company.

Xu Weilai had intended to ask Xiao Chun after work today, but since Assistant Lin had initiated this conversation, she decided to sound out some information from him first.

Xu Weilai blinked a few times before she asked innocently, “Assistant Lin, did I say something wrong? You’ve been with the company for so long and you’re so experienced. As a newbie who is working as a secretary for the first time, I don’t see anything wrong with wanting to learn more from you.”

Assistant Lin became even more infuriated when he saw how calm she was and quickly turned and strode over to Xu Weilai. Frowning hard, he replied with great dissatisfaction, “Miss Xu, forgive me for being blunt but why did you leave your job as a reporter to work as a secretary? It’s fine if you want to be a secretary, but why do you have to be Zuo An’s secretary? Wouldn’t you… Wouldn’t you be opposing CEO Gu then?”

“Even though you divorced CEO Gu, but wasn’t it a peaceful separation? If that’s the case, then let’s all put the past behind us and start afresh. Even if… Even if you couldn’t care less about CEO Gu, you should at least take into account how well Mr. Gu Sr. had treated you back then. Do you know how many people are laughing at the Gu Family now that you had taken our opponent’s side?”

Assistant Lin became increasingly agitated as he spoke and his face flushed red.

The expression in Xu Weilai’s eyes changed several times as she listened on.

She could roughly tell from what Assistant Lin had said that Zuo An and Gu Yu were on opposing teams while Zuo Si and Gu Yu were on the same side. Now that Zuo An had become the Vice President, there would inevitably be a big clash between them in future.

As Xu Weilai was Gu Yu’s ex-wife and had now become Zuo An’s secretary, it was no wonder that all the directors had appeared as if they were anticipating a good show earlier on.

From their perspective, Xu Weilai’s love had evolved into hatred, which she was using against Gu Yu.

However, as far as Xu Weilai knew, Grandpa Gu and Gu Yu had the controlling interest in Gu Corporation and this was also why Gu Xiong’s faction had failed to stir up anything big despite their multiple attempts at wreaking havoc.

However, Grandpa Gu suddenly fell down and landed himself in a coma and subsequently, the document that Gu Xue mentioned surfaced. Rumors about Gu Yu and Zuo Si then began to make their rounds and eventually, Gu Yu decided to divorce Xu Weilai.

The management team of the Gu Corporation was constantly changing during the time when Xu Weilai was abroad. The internet was also flooded with false, negative rumours about Gu Yu, which brought about an endless tide of criticisms from the public and today, Gu Yu’s opponent was named the Vice President of the company.

Xu Weilai quickly connected the dots in her mind clearly but continued to maintain a pokerface. Pretending as if she couldn’t understand what Assistant Lin had said, she asked weakly, “Assistant Lin, how could you say this? My boss is the Vice President of the company and his achievements would benefit the company as well. Since Gu Yu also works in the best interest of the company and they’re both so competent, this would be a strong alliance. I don’t see why you would think of them as opponents.”

Assistant Lin stared at Xu Weilai in disbelief when he heard what she said and asked, “Miss Xu, do you really not understand or are you simply playing dumb?”
