Chapter 22 - 22 Are you ordering me to do something for you?

“Mm!” She nodded because she had to retrieve her belongings, “Do you have it?”

“Yes.”

With that, Li Yuan took out his mobile phone and flipped to Qin Sijue’s number.

“Dial it yourself.”

Taking the phone, Gu Qiangwei gave him a polite smile, “Thank you.”

Looking at the contacts list on the screen, with just a single word ‘Jue’ as the label, she still didn’t know the man’s full name.

How would she address him in a moment?

Meanwhile, in the executive conference room of Dijue Group.

A low pressure pervaded the strict atmosphere, silence reigned in the meeting room, and no one dared to look at the man seated at the head of the table.

Just at this nerve-wracking moment, the sudden ring of a phone shattered the eerily quiet meeting room, causing everyone’s heart to nearly leap out of their chests!

Qin Sijue, seated at the main chair, looked slightly down at the black phone in front of him, the display reading ‘Li Yuan.’

After a two-second silence, he picked up the phone and put it to his ear, his voice sounding frighteningly low!

“Speak!”

The deep and rich voice clearly conveyed his unhappiness, causing Gu Qiangwei on the other end to pause and swallow nervously.

“It’s… It’s me.”

From the earpiece came a woman’s voice, Qin Sijue’s brows furrowed tightly, taking a moment to recognize it was Gu Qiangwei.

“Gu Qiangwei,” she added.

Qin Sijue felt a pang in his chest, surprised by this voice.

He lifted his gaze, sweeping it across the shareholders in front of the conference table, then stood and walked over to the window.

The voice was still as cold as ever, void of any warmth, “What is it.”

“I wanted to ask if my mobile phone and luggage might be with you?”

Qin Sijue was silent for a few seconds, doing nothing.

Gu Qiangwei continued, “If they are, could you please bring them to me?”

“Are you ordering me to do things for you?”

Gu Qiangwei paused, sensing that the man was indeed very unhappy at the moment.

“That’s not what I meant, I—”

“Beep beep beep…”

Staring at the phone, Gu Qiangwei was stunned.

He had hung up?

This man’s mood swings were too unpredictable!

“How did it go?” Watching her, Li Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Qiangwei looked up, handing the phone back to him, “He hung up on me!”

“Then what about calling back later?”

Gu Qiangwei thought for a moment, but wouldn’t the result be the same if she called again?

“Forget it, I’ll figure it out myself.”

Li Yuan glanced at her, “Is it urgent?”

Gu Qiangwei managed a weak smile, “Not really, just have something to do tomorrow.”

“With your current condition, you shouldn’t be discharged tomorrow.”

Looking at Li Yuan, Gu Qiangwei didn’t speak again.

She just felt a severe pain all over her body, but it wasn’t anything serious.

Tomorrow was a very important client meeting, and if she didn’t attend, she could lose her job, which was not an option.

After leaving the Li family, the things she needed most were money and a stable job, plus finding a place to rent.

She wondered if there was enough money in her card to rent a place.

“I understand,” she said with a smile, then remembered the hospital fees.

She felt utterly destitute.

She, the former miss of the Gu Family, had fallen to the point of having nowhere to go.

“You should rest for now, and if there’s anything, you can ask the nurse to call me. By the way, my name is Li Yuan.”

Gu Qiangwei smiled, her impression of Li Yuan was quite good.

“My name is Gu Qiangwei.”

“Then we’re acquainted!”
