She left almost as if she had fled.

The first thing I did when I returned to the hotel was to pack up all the things I should take with me, and put all those things that were related to Gu Jinchi at the hotel's front desk to be mailed on his behalf.

What ring bracelet bank card these things, she does not want one, and no longer want to see.

Gu Jinchi, and anything related to Gu Jinchi and the past, was destined to get out of her world through and through.

Even to prevent Xiao Ze from bringing Gu Jin Chi over, she checked out and changed hotels at the first opportunity.

By the time the toss was done, it was late at night.

Only when she was physically and mentally exhausted and lying on her bed did she realize that there were countless calls from Xiao Ze and Gu Jin Chi on her muted cell phone.

Interspersed with this were a couple of calls from the Lords of Ren and a text message.

The text message went something like this.

'An executive has left and I need your help, the position cannot be left vacant, I hope to hear from you tonight.'

That time limit was approaching tonight, and perhaps it really was something worth his anxiety to have so many calls coming in.

She didn't say yes before because she had concerns, and she still had a piece of Gu Jinchi in her heart.

Perhaps it was also because he wasn't completely indifferent that she still had illusions about him.

Now, that one fantasy is completely extinguished.

She sniffled, maybe having a new life would make forget everything about what that man had done to bring her back from the dead.

'Good.'

I don't know if it was because he had been waiting for her to reply to the message, but Ren Lord replied to her the first time. ''Why are you so late?''

''It's fine, I'll go to Feng Yue tomorrow, so I'll trouble you with the rest of the formalities.''

She sniffled and casually wiped the tears from her face as she lay back on the bed and took a deep breath.

Almost immediately again, he returned, 'Don't worry, everything is ready, rest early.'

She didn't reply, and just once again, she felt like she was splitting hairs.

Ren Lord still knew that if he couldn't get through to her, he could simply contact her by text message, but Gu Jinchi didn't.

After thinking about it, she sent Zee a voice message.

She had to leave a little lesson for the little guy who betrayed her.

In the past, he was worried that Xiao Ze might not be having a very happy time with Gu Jin Chi indeed, and trying to find ways to stay with her.

But now it seems like it's totally father and son working together to make a fool out of her!

"Ze, about you betraying mommy this matter makes mommy very angry, mommy is going to cut you off for half a month, I hope you reflect on yourself."

...

When she met Vivian at the headquarters of Feng Yue Group, her state had been completely regulated, her long hair was pulled back sharply, and she had the flavor of an elite white-collar worker when she raised her hand.

The shadow left in her heart by the previous incident seemed to have receded, and the whole person had returned to the posture of a strong woman, even if she was alone to deal with things in Feng Yue, she was still fluent and organized.

This time her induction was picked up by Vivian herself.

"I've always owed you a doxology for what happened before, if it wasn't for your thoughtfulness at that time, I'm afraid that Ren would have been caught in the middle of a crisis, thank you, regardless of the previous suspicion."

"So I hope you'll give it a chance, or at least let me buy you dinner."

Today's Su Qinglan was also a different person from last night's disheveled appearance, she curved her eyes and smiled, agreeing, "Then choose a day, just tonight."

Instead of being polite, the smile on Vivian's face became a little more natural, and she led her straight to an empty, tidy office.

"This is here especially for you now, I heard you have the customary assistant, so if there's anything, you can just order him."

As her words fell, Qishen slowly walked over and bowed slightly to her.

She was a bit surprised, but she did not expect Ren Lord to prepare so comprehensively, and also directly transferred Qichen, who was in the branch.

After casting a thank you look at Vivian, the office was soon left with just her and Kishen cleaning up together.

"My real name is Su Qinglan, there's no need to hide it now, Mila that name or so I'm not very used to, so I'll trouble you to get used to it."

She instructed as she adjusted the table setting to her own habits.

"I also think it's a much better name than Mila." Kishen humorously teased, re-wiping everything in the chamber with a clean towel.

There was a lot of noise throughout the company about her arrival and sudden replacement.

But it was nothing more than a few dissatisfied voices, especially after the name Su Qinglan saw the light of day again.

Those who had been expected to be promoted cursed her parachuting in to cut off their path to promotion.

And those at the top, faced with the additional uncontrollable risk of having an uncontrollable risk under their command, or possibly the eyes of Ren Lords, were cold.

Other than that it's the people who don't have their interests shaken, but gossip.

Just the effort of getting off work and having a meal at noon alone, the people walking past her were talking somewhat openly, and hard words entered her ears without any concealment.

"I've heard that she's the mother of Gu's youngest master, and I don't know why, but she's come to our Feng Yue."

"Feng Yue and Gu's used to be incompatible, this woman doesn't know what kind of ecstasy she gave to Mr. Ren, she simply doesn't put Vivian in her eyes."

"Having just left that big tree Gu Jinchi, she's on the list of our Mr. Ren, she really deserves that face of hers."

She didn't know what to say to such compliments on her beauty.

Should I say thank you?

Or should we be silent about it.

Perhaps it was because she felt that she had no backing this time, and Ren Lords were away, even in the elevator now, there were whispers drilling right into her ears.

Plus there's Vivian, and the group's words take on a bit more of a provocative tone.

It wasn't enough for a few of the little girls to just ramble on for a while; after exchanging a look, they gathered around Vivian and squeezed her hard to the side.

Someone even stepped on her deliberately, and it was Kishen who was quick to help her when she nearly stumbled.

Several more contemptuous glances were thrown together from those women.

Seeing that Qi Chen had the intention of opening his mouth, Su Qinglan pulled him back, shook his head, and said softly, "It's okay."

The unspoken rules of the workplace were just like this, and at this point in time, if she took them on, she would look like she had lost. A group of paranoid rabble was just a group of people, not enough for her to take such a small thing to heart.

But the words fell on the ears of those men, and again they changed flavor.

The female employee in the lead snorted coldly and flattered Vivian, "Vivian, why don't we go to lunch together today? I know a very delicious restaurant, I'll pay a bonus, treat you ah."

"Yes, although Su is new to the city, but Assistant Qi is taking such good care of her, she definitely won't be alone."

"And ... it's actually not good to bother the two of them right?"

Perhaps that would have been a very flattering phrase for Vivian in the old days.

But now, especially after the incident where she was kidnapped and threatened, she had completely changed her mind about Su Qinglan.

Vivian snorted meaningfully, "Is today's workload not enough? If it's because you think the work I've scheduled isn't enough, I can give you some additional workload at my discretion."

"That way maybe by the end of the month there's some extra time set aside for project revisions as well."

At that moment, the faces of several employees changed, and they lowered their heads in gray.

But they don't dare to have a problem with Vivian, they just attribute this lesson to Vivian's need to maintain a superficial job, and instead they have a bigger problem with her.

Getting off the elevator, Vivian couldn't help but sigh, "I can understand the difficulty of your position now."

"It's okay, I'm used to it, I might have to trouble you for more in the future."

She didn't need much care at work anymore, but the interpersonal hassles were just too much.

In a situation like this, where almost the entire company sees her as an enemy, it's better to have one more friend than one more rival.

"You can rest assured that the Wind Echoes Group is strict internally, just saying anything may not be able to do anything to deal with them for you, but if it evolves into playing small tricks, we will not be lenient."

Saying that, as if to prove it to her, Vivian pulled out a copy of the company's bylaws from the folder she was carrying and handed it to her.

"... Thanks, it's nice to have rules like that."

She couldn't help but sigh and cry.

Such a feeling frankly made her feel somewhat familiar, just like once when she had just sat down as Gu Jinchi's special assistant.

All of them see her as a thorn in their side.

At that time, she was also stupid, but also simply thought that only one year of service she was able to be transferred up because of her efforts, did not think that it was actually Gu Jinchi's intention.

But anyhow, she had also worked her way up from the grassroots, and she had already learned those people's little tricks, and for her now, it didn't hurt.

It was a bit of an odd scene with the three of them coming together for lunch, and she had to drive Vivian and Kishen to a different restaurant to stagger those people at work.

It was far enough away that it was just the three of them, and easy to talk about things.

After ordering and before she had a chance to eat, Vivian pushed the folder she had brought with her straight over, "These are the ones I've already organized, the ones you need to do and the ones you don't need to bother with."

"Mr. Ren's side has already explained to me that the board of directors might come out to make things difficult, but you just have to be smooth and avoid it, you don't need to have a head-to-head confrontation with them."

After a pause, Vivian sighed softly, "There's one more thing, I think it would be better to say it in Ren's exact words."

She cleared her throat, emulating Ren Lord's careless tone.

"There are a couple of tough old guys on the board for me too, so it's better not to get into open conflict with them."

The words were meant to reveal a bit of coddling, but relayed by Vivian they seemed oddly out of place.

It would seem a little strange to have a mature woman take on the look of a dude for even one sentence.

Su Qinglan wasted a lot of effort to hold in her laughter and agreed, "Okay, you can tell him to rest assured that I have no intention of making a scene here."
