Chapter 264 Theme Competition: The President's Sunny Day (4)
No one cared whether Qin Ruo went to work or not.
Although she was very capable and had a much easier time since returning to work, Shi Qi felt it was better for her not to work, considering her purpose.
Qin Ruo's original plan was to let the president get used to her handling various matters by his side, so that he would feel very uncomfortable if she suddenly disappeared.
However, it was clear that Shi Qi did not care about her more because of this.
Qin Ruo found it strange that there was another girl; this was different from the script she had received.
Gu Shijiu spent a few days eating and sleeping, occasionally acting as a voyeur, which was quite pleasant.
Gong Ye seemed to have forgotten about his fiancée, spending his days playing the "I love you but I can't love you" game with An Zhi, thoroughly enjoying himself.
The Fu family probably had no idea that their daughter had run off to another city, and no one had contacted her.
Gu Shijiu sometimes accompanied Shi Qi to work, and sometimes wandered around, gaining a full two pounds.
That day, after shopping in the morning, she went to Fu's Group to pick up Shi Qi from get off work in the afternoon. As soon as she got off the elevator, she was stopped by someone when she passed the control room.
"What exactly is your relationship with President Fu?" Qin Ruo looked at Gu Shijiu thoughtfully, her burning gaze seeming to poke a hole in her face.
Gu Shijiu didn't know how to answer, so she chose to give up: "I won't tell you."
"Do you know Xia Qingtian?" Qin Ruo tried to shift the blame, "President Fu treats her very differently."
“I know you two are both seriously mentally ill.” Gu Shijiu nodded and emphasized, “President Fu said so.”
Qin Ruo was taken aback, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she affectionately wrapped her arm around Gu Shijiu's and led her forward.
Gu Shijiu wasn't used to such close social distance and tried to pull her hand back, but she couldn't.
Although she didn't use much force, with her strength, she should have been able to pull it out easily.
Gu Shijiu was not surprised; just as Shi Qi had said, this person was no ordinary person.
Thinking this, the two of them had already reached the top-floor office area. The outermost area consisted of semi-open cubicles where the president's secretary and assistants worked, the middle area contained the offices of several department-level employees, and the innermost area was the president's office.
Suddenly Qin Ruo screamed and fell to the ground.
Gu Shijiu's arm was still outstretched in mid-air, somewhat embarrassed: "Um... what am I doing?"
When Qin Ruo looked up, her face had changed to one of tearful, pitiful expression: "Miss Fu, I know you don't like me. I'll just stay away from you from now on. Why did you have to resort to violence?"
Huh? Gu Shijiu looked around and saw that all around him were stares of onlookers, disapproval, and disdain.
If this were Xia Qingtian, she would probably be so ashamed and indignant that she would die.
Unfortunately, Gu Shijiu was unaware of this; she only knew that she had been framed: "I didn't hit you, but of course, if you need it, I can satisfy you."
Upon hearing the noise, Shi Qi opened the door and came out. Qin Ruo sat diagonally on the ground, lowered her head, revealing her long, fair neck: "If Miss Fu says no, then no."
Suddenly, Gu Shijiu felt a surge of irritation, as if she wanted to tear the person in front of her to pieces. However, she quickly suppressed this inexplicable anger and pulled Qin Ruo up.
Shi Qi also inexplicably wanted to believe Qin Ruo. Fortunately, he was already used to the strong energy that the other person occasionally emitted, which had a strong influence on others, and he was not disturbed at the moment.
Looking at Shi Qi, who remained silent, Qin Ruo appeared even more delicate and unyielding: "I know Miss Fu doesn't like me, but if it makes her happy, I don't mind suffering a little grievance."
Shi Qi: Today she's playing the innocent, pure female lead. I really want to tell her that's not how you act.
Gu Shijiu: I really want to hit this person.
She thought it was her idea and did it, punching Qin Ruo in the jawbone, knocking her to the ground.
Everyone was shocked, not expecting her to actually make a move.
Gu Shijiu threw a vicious punch this time. Before, when she hit Gong Ye, she had only slapped him, because she could sense that the person in front of her was quite powerful.
Qin Ruo covered her face, her eyes filled with disbelief, and then she began to sob.
Shi Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud; the scene was truly amusing: "Alright, stop pretending. This farce ends here. Everyone, disperse."
After saying that, he led Gu Shijiu into the office.
Qin Ruo glared fiercely at Gu Shijiu's back, her mind racing with several thoughts.
Everyone in the crowd saw it, but since Qin Ruo was also a young lady from a prominent family, they didn't dare to make fun of her as directly as they did to Xia Qingtian. They just exchanged glances.
Xia Qingtian, hiding in the control room, witnessed the whole scene and felt a little envious.
But now was not the time to think about that. She bit her lip and made a decision in her heart.
When Shi Qi and Gu Shijiu were waiting for the elevator after get off work, someone rushed over.
"Miss Fu, please save me." Xia Qingtian knelt down with a thud and hugged Gu Shijiu's leg, sobbing.
Upon closer inspection, Shi Qi noticed that her face was pale, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked pitiful.
Is the plot about to cause trouble again?
"What's wrong with you again?" Shi Qi's voice was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, but Gu Shijiu knew him too well and knew he was angry as soon as she heard it.
"Please help me, please, Miss Fu, you are a kind and noble rich lady, I am willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of my life."
Xia Qingtian kept pleading, but Gu Shijiu didn't say anything; she was lost in thought.
What is this person saying? Why can't she understand?
Seeing that she remained silent, Xia Qingtian continued to plead, crying, "Please..."
Shi Qi couldn't stand it anymore: "So what exactly do you want?"
It's completely inexplicable.
"Miss Fu, could you lend me a million? I know this request is abrupt, but you two are the only wealthy people I know..."
Xia Qingtian became increasingly guilty as she spoke: "I know it's very inappropriate, but I really have no other choice, please."
Gu Shijiu: The more I listen, the more confused I get.
"You want to borrow money?" Gu Shijiu asked hesitantly, as if that was the gist of it.
"If you can lend it to me, I will definitely repay you in the future," Xia Qingtian swore to the heavens.
"Why not repay him with her body?" Gu Shijiu thought of the TV series she had watched.
Shi Qi suddenly burst out laughing. It seems the plot is going to involve selling herself to pay off debts.
Unfortunately, her attitude toward Xia Qingtian made her afraid to speak, so she turned to Gu Shijiu, who seemed easier to talk to.
But Gu Shijiu is a woman, so this promise of marriage becomes a vow of loyalty and devotion.
Sure enough, Xia Qingtian stammered and couldn't say anything for a long time.
Gu Shijiu looked at Shi Qi: "Do you want to borrow it?"
"They borrowed it from you." Shi Qi shrugged, not intending to get involved.
He was curious to know what would have happened to Xia Qingtian if she hadn't been able to borrow the money.
As for Gu Shijiu—of course she wouldn't lend money, she shook her head like a rattle drum.
"I don't even know you, why should I lend you the money? I won't lend it to you."
Xia Qingtian was extremely disappointed, and she didn't even remember that she hadn't mentioned that the reason she was borrowing money was because her younger brother urgently needed heart surgery.
Feeling sorry for her own background, she thought these rich people were really cold and heartless, and ran away crying.
