Stop There, Daddy

Wen Shuyue heard the deep voice on the phone, “Give it a try.” He sounded that Wen Shuyue would be fired if she refused the take the task.

Wen Shuyue said inwardly, “I need to make a living. If I give it a try, I’m a fool.”

There was silence on the phone. In the end, Mr. Gu said, “If you don’t go, get the projects that have been put on hold for the past few days.”

He sounded indifferent as if getting the projects was a piece of cake.

Under such pressure, Wen Shuyue had to agree to take on the task. She couldn’t help cursing inwardly, “Evil capitalism!”

Even though Wen Shuyue was reluctant, she asked in detail about the plan to discuss cooperation with Mannis.

“Well, you’re talking to the president of Mannis, so you have to pay attention to your words and your manners. We made the appointment. You need to arrive there at nine tomorrow morning.” The cooperation project with Mannis was the top priority, and Mr. Gu unusually gave more instructions.

Seeing that Mr. Gu attached so much importance to this task, Wen Shuyue’s embarrassment towards meeting He Siming was eased.

Wen Shuyue got off work early today. She quickly tidied up her desk and took the files that she needed for the next day. She was going to think about how to discuss the cooperation with He Siming.

She hadn’t expected that she would be the one who gave in first.

It was night. The gentle moonlight shone through the darkness on the bed.

At this time, Wen Shuyue had just sorted out the documents and was about to sleep. After a while, she couldn’t sleep. She tossed and turned, feeling irritated.

After a long time, she drifted to sleep. The sun rose, and orange sunlight shone on the world.

The alarm clock went off, and Wen Shuyue woke up from the daze. She saw that it was eight o’clock. She was not late.

She quickly washed up and got dressed, taking the files and going out.

By the time Wen Shuyue arrived, it was almost nine o’clock. She went to the reception gracefully, and the receptionist paid close attention to her as she had an elegant air. The receptionist recognized Wen Shuyue and smiled. “Miss Wen, do you come to see Mr. He?”

“Yes.”

“Do you have an appointment?”

“Yes.”

Wen Shuyue explained her purpose in detail with a distant, cold look on her face.

After the receptionist made a call, she respectfully asked Wen Shuyue to go inside.

Wen Shuyue knew the way well, and she went to He Siming’s office. When Guan Yue saw Wen Shuyue, he was surprised. When he knew why she came, he lowered his head.

He wore a black suit, and his face was composed. He said in a business-like manner, “Please wait a moment.”

He entered the office.

There was a knock on the door.

“Come in.” He Siming was wearing a blue suit, which flattered his fair skin. His face was gorgeous, and he had an imposing presence.

“What is it?” He looked up at Guan Yue and asked in a low voice.

“It’s Miss Wen from MK. She…”

He Siming interrupted him coldly, “I won’t see her. Ask her to go back.”

“Yes.” Guan Yue sighed and left.

The moment the door was closed, He Siming’s eyes darkened. He extended his big hand and fondled a pen, frowning.

Wen Shuyue was not surprised when Guan Yue told her that He Siming wouldn’t see her. Instead, she was relieved. At least, it saved her the embarrassment.

Since he wouldn’t see her, Wen Shuyue left naturally and went straight to the company. On the way, she received a call from Mr. Gu. When she told him honestly what had happened, Mr. Gu was helpless.

Qin Weiwei accidentally overheard the conversation and sneered. She thought, “Wen Shuyue, what’s the taste of failure? You are a clown who has no self-knowledge. Do you think you are capable? I’ll let you see I’m better than you.”

Qin Weiwei smoothed her immaculate hair and gave a charming smile that no man could resist before she went to Mannis.

In the car, Qin Weiwei took out a small mirror and put on lipstick. Looking at her red and seductive lips, she smiled.

She was certain He Siming would be charmed by her. At the thought, the smile on her face deepened.

After arriving at the Mannis, Qin Weiwei walked gracefully in her high heels.

“Madam, please wait a moment. Do you have an appointment?” A security guard blocked Qin Weiwei. Before she lost her temper, he said, “Please go to the reception to make the appointment.”

“Okay,” said Qin Weiwei sulkily. In order to maintain her image, she suppressed her anger.

“Miss, may I ask for your appointment number and the details?” the receptionist asked with a smile.

Qin Weiwei could only gather rough information from Wen Shuyue’s conversation with Mr. Gu on the phone, so she said vaguely, “I made the appointment. Didn’t Wen Shuyue come today? I’m her colleague.”

The receptionist believed her, but she called the Secretary’s Office for safety’s sake.

“Yes, yes, a lady. Ah? Okay.” When the receptionist got the order, she smiled and refused, “I’m sorry, but Mr. He is busy. He can’t see you.”

“How could it be? We have an appointment.” Qin Weiwei’s tone was aggressive, and the receptionist could hardly keep her smile. “Miss, it’s true. Please leave.”

A hint of ferocious came across Qin Weiwei’s pretty face. She decided to barge into the office. Suddenly, she bumped into a strong chest, and she smelled a wooden fragrance. She looked up and met a pair of emotionless eyes.

“Mr. He, I come to…”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

He Siming interrupted her with a grim look on his face, “Not everyone can enter Mannis.”

Qin Weiwei was escorted out under the mocking gazes. She wished she could find a hole to hide.

She thought, “It’s all Wen Shuyue’s fault.”

“Wen Shuyue, I’ll make you pay for it.”

Qin Weiwei looked down, her eyes vicious.

Either by design or accident, the news of Qin Weiwei being chased out after she tried to barge into Mannis and discuss cooperation with He Siming spread far and wide in the industry. She became a laughing stock.

Some said that she attempted to kick away Wen Shuyue because she wanted to get promoted. Some said she went to seduce He Siming because she wanted to climb up the social ladder with her pretty face.

The allegations were all against her.

After work, Qin Weiwei went back home. When she opened the door and saw the affectionate face of Mother Wen, she held the latter and sobbed.

Mother Wen patted Qin Weiwei’s back with concern. “Weiwei, why do you cry so hard?”

Qin Weiwei raised her head, her nose red, and her eyes filled with tears. “Auntie, it’s Wen Shuyue. Now that I’m working under her, she’s trying to harm me and make things difficult for me. She even ruined my reputation.”
