Chapter 99: Cooperate with the Enemy
“Miss Wen, here’s a significant project that Mr. Gu wants you to focus on now.”
Xiaolu interrupted Wen Shuyue when Wen Shuyue was about to start working.
“Oh? Another new project again?” Wen Shuyue frowned. Why had Gu Ning given her new projects with no reason lately? Did he find her unqualified to handle the previous projects?
“Yes. Mr. Gu said the project is of such importance that he doesn’t feel rest assured to appoint it to anyone else but you,” Xiaolu said when passing the materials to Wen Shuyue.
Wen Shuyue flipped through the materials and suddenly came across the Lu Group next to Party B.
In an instant, Wen Shuyue pulled a long face. Gu Ning was well-aware of her relationship with Lu Junhan, but Gu Ning still ordered her to complete that project.
Seeing that angry face, Xiaolu couldn’t help but asked, “Miss Wen, are you alright? Mr. Gu said you just need to read these carefully. If you have questions, you can ask him. But if you don’t, then please don’t…”
Bang!
Before Xiaolu finished her words, Wen Shuyue smashed the materials onto the desk and got up to leave the office for Gu Ning’s, apparently.
Wen Shuyue was open to cooperation with any companies, except the Lu Group.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Wen Shuyue gritted her teeth. She rushed in Gu Ning’s office even without knocking, when Gu Ning was flirting with some female staff. They might do something indecent if Wen Shuyue broke in any later.
“Damn it. Don’t you knock?”
No one could control his temper when being disturbed in such a moment. Gu Ning tidied up his clothes and asked the girl to leave.
Before leaving, the girl shot a piercing glare at Wen Shuyue, apparently blaming Wen Shuyue for ruining her moment.
Wen Shuyue struggled to regain her composure with a deep breath before she said calmly, “You should know what happened between Lu Junhan and I. Why did you give me that project? I can accept it if I just compete with him. But cooperate with him? Why do you want me to do that?”
Wen Shuyue wouldn’t have been so mad if Gu Ning had known nothing about her relationship with Lu Junhan. But Gu Ning knew it so well and even had promised to help her out before.
But now, he helped her in this way?
He ordered her to cooperate with her enemy? What on earth was his purpose?
“Chill out. It’s not a big deal. Don’t be so bad. How can you make great achievements with this attitude?” Gu Ning had already regained his composure. He poured himself a cup of tea at ease and then drank it all at one gulp.
He always managed to remain calm whenever Wen Shuyue got anxious. Seeing that, Wen Shuyue could have grabbed his cup and thrown it away. He was being really beyond annoying!
Wen Shuyue gritted her teeth and said, “Not a big deal? It’s pretty much a big deal for me. I won’t take the project. Just order someone else to do that.”
Upon finishing her words, Wen Shuyue was ready to leave before Gu Ning said something.
“I didn’t ask you to leave.” Suddenly, Gu Ning put down the cup heavily. He looked at her coldly with unconcealable anger.
Despite Wen Shuyue was more than angry, she had to obey Gu Ning’s words since he was her superior after all.
“You’ve not been in the mood to work lately. How dare you blame me for ordering you to cooperate with Lu Junhan? Why don’t you give it a thought about why I did that?” Gu Ning ranged in front of her. Then he walked back to the desk, took out a bunch of pictures from the drawer, and threw them to Wen Shuyue.
Those pictures made her realize why Gu Ning suddenly got so pissed off.
It turned out that she was taken pictures during the dates with He Siming and that the news of her staying in He Siming’s house was exposed. But Wen Shuyue wondered why she heard none of this news.
Wen Shuyue asked with a frown, “How did you get these?”
“You shouldn’t have asked this. These pictures were taken long time ago and I was blackmailed with them. I spent a great amount of money buying them. Look what you have done. You have fun and I clear up the mess for you. Good for you, huh.” Gu Ning got even angrier.
However, he was not upset about the money. He just never expected the relationship between Wen Shuyue and He Siming had gone that far. So Gu Ning had been angry with Wen Shuyue these days. Otherwise, he would not give vent to his anger by flirting with that girl.
Wen Shuyue was rendered speechless. After all, all these were truth, so any explanation wouldn’t sound convincing though things were not that simple as they appeared.
“How much did you pay? Let me pay you back.” Wen Shuyue finally said something after pondering for a while.
She had no idea what else she could do to compensate Gu Ning.
To Gu Ning’s surprise, Wen Shuyue offered to pay him back with money after thinking for such a while. Gu Ning turned sullen and shot a horrible glare at her. He then said something quite hurtful.
“I don’t think you’ve realized your mistakes. In that case, you’d better complete Lu Junhan’s project successfully. If you don’t, you’re fired,” Gu Ning said and waved his hands. Obviously, he didn’t want to see her any more.
Wen Shuyue acknowledged that she was culpable for this situation. She squatted down and picked up all the pictures from the floor.
Then she left the office silently.
Soon after she left the office, Gu Ning heaved a sigh heavily and made a phone call.
“Make sure you keep all the scandals about Wen Shuyue and He Siming from anyone else. If I see any news about them, I’ll sue you and have all my money back.”
Gu Ning hang up and took a deep breath again. He had always wished to see Wen Shuyue being together with He Siming.
However, it broke Gu Ning’s heart when they were really together. Jealousy almost drowned him and that kind of feeling tortured him a lot.
And Wen Shuyue was the cause of that.
She had turned him into quite a different person.
After leaving Gu Ning’s office, Wen Shuyue headed to Lu Junhan’s company directly, instead of going back to her office. Since she failed to convince Gu Ning to cancel the cooperation, she had no choice but to talk to Lu Junhan.
