Liang Doukou looked down without saying anything, hurt by all her grievances.
Old Master Guâs heart softened when he saw her expression. He sighed and said gently, âXiaokou, you can tell me directly what you want to say. Why are you beating around the bush like this?â
âGrandpa,â Liang Doukou said piteously, her eyes getting red. âIâm not exactly sure, which is why I asked you to come here with me today. As you can see, sheâs not capable of even serving tea. The school sheâs graduating from is not the best and her grades are no better. But here she is, Yushengâs secretary...â
âAll right, all right.â Old Master Gu gently comforted her and turned to Xiaowang. âWhatâs her salary?â
Qin Zhiâaiâs salary was not low, and Xiaowang dared not to let him know. He quoted only half of the salary she actually made.
Thereâs no evidence here, but it is unusual for a college student who hasnât even graduated yet to be Gu Yushengâs secretary.
But the Gu Family is close to the Liang Family, and Liang Doukou has always respected me and been a loving daughter to me.
She could have married a better man, but she loves my son. Marrying Gu Yusheng was her only wish. And I will always take care of her for that. She will always treat Gu Yusheng well.
Iâve never known Liang Doukou to be petty with anyone, certainly not like Yushengâs mother.
After meditating for a few moments, despite Qin Zhiâaiâs presence, he finally said, âDriver Wang, go to the Finance Department, have them get six monthsâ worth of Miss Qinâs salary, and dismiss her.â
Qin Zhiâai pursed her lips. She had been silent the entire time and finally said, âI have nothing to do with Master Gu. I came to this company to...â
âMiss Qin, I didnât mean that,â Old Master Gu interrupted and then looked at Xiaowang. âDriver Wang, do I need to repeat what I just said?â
Xiaowang shook his head and stood still. After a moment, he said, âOld Master Gu, Miss Qin is Master Guâs secretary. I think we should inform him if you want to dismiss her.â
âDriver Wang, what do you mean? You want me, an old man, to go to the Finance Department in person?â Old Master Guâs tone was not harsh but very serious.
Xiaowang lowered his head and said, âOf course not.â
âThen just do what I said!â
Xiaowang hesitated for a moment, but he did not have the courage to counter Old Master Gu. He went to his desk and dialed the manager of the Finance Department.
Shortly afterward, the finance manager rushed over and handed Xiaowang a heavy envelope.
Xiaowang didnât hand it to Qin Zhiâai directly but gave it to Old Master Gu.
Old Master Gu glanced at the envelop and said, âGive me a pen and a piece of paper.â
Xiaowang sighed slightly, took a pen and paper from Gu Yushengâs desk, and handed them to Old Master Gu, who looked at Qin Zhiâai and said, âMiss Qin, write your resignation.â
Anticipating Qin Zhiâai was going to say something, he quickly added, âMiss Qin, youâd better resign, or I will fire you.â
