Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Hatred for Him_1
Translator: 549690339
Perhaps it was because of Gu Yuanzhou’s betrayal over the past four years or his years of exploiting me. So, when I found out he was the one who drugged my uncle’s family, my hatred for him peaked.
I poured all my hatred into his cup of coffee.
I want to see him dead.
Dead, right here, right now.
Gu Yuanzhou, however, doesn’t rush to drink the coffee and instead watches me.
“Where were you last night?”
“Oh, I was out to dinner with a friend!”
“Where did you eat?”
“That… doesn’t matter, I was with my friend, it doesn’t matter if we were here or there!”
Perhaps due to nervousness, I can’t remember the name of the restaurant I dined at last night.
“Who was that man last night?”
“President Gu, What are you talking about?”
“Who was it that claimed I killed someone… which man was that?”
I could tell, Gu Yuanzhou was furious.
“It was a friend of mine, he’d had a bit too much to drink, he was just rambling. Don’t take it to heart!”
“It was Ding Yinuo, wasn’t it?”
Gu Yuanzhou reacts swiftly.
I wasn’t expecting the few words Ding Yinuo had uttered during his drunken rant to be heard so clearly by Gu Yuanzhou.
And he even figured it out rather quick.
I acknowledged outright as I realized there was no way to hide it anymore.
“Yes!”
Upon hearing my answer, Gu Yuanzhou slammed his hand on the desk.
His anger rattled the desk, causing the coffee to splash off the surface. Some of it spilled over, staining the papers on the desk.
I quickly grabbed some tissues to clean up, but to my surprise, Gu Yuanzhou used a remote to shut the office’s automatic door.
He stood up, grabbed my wrist, and dragged me inside.
He then locked me in a small space.
Gu Yuanzhou loosened his tie and sat on the desk, facing me.
“The questions I’m going to ask you, you’d better answer truthfully, don’t conceal anything. Because the choices you make will determine whether you can continue to work in the company.”
The last sentence shocked me.
Is he trying to fire me?
“I understand, President Gu, go ahead!”
Gu Yuanzhou searches for a picture on his phone and hands it over to me,
“This was him last night, right?”
The image shows a young man giving a speech at the Tianjiao Company’s annual meeting, it was Ding Yinuo.
I glanced at it and nodded,
“It’s him!”
“When did you meet him?”
Gu Yuanzhou lights up a cigarette, takes a puff, and is eyeing me with his chilly gaze.
By looking at the numerous messages he sent me last night, I can guess he’s suffering inside.
“Hmm, not long, just a few months I guess.”
“Before joining the company or after?”
He questioned me like I was a suspect.
I decided to stick to the details of Song Xiaoyun’s life while answering ‘honestly’
Don’t give Gu Yuanzhou any chance to poke holes in my lies.
“After joining the company!”
“So you do know that Tianjiao Company is our competitor, don’t you?”
“I am not aware! Nobody told me!”
“No told you?”
Gu Yuanzhou scoffs,
“How many times do you meet up in a week?”
“We don’t meet often, very rarely…overall not more than thrice!”
“When you meet, does he ask you to do anything? Such as stealing company secrets? Or working against me?”
