Chapter 135 - I Won’t Bully You, But I’ll Watch My Man Do That To You, What Can You Do? (2/2)
Then, Yang Yunshu stood up immediately and stormed out of the office with a gloomy expression.
Song Yu and Ruan Danchen exchanged glances.
Ruan Danchen scooted over quietly again and said, “Do you think this is Qi Chengzhi’s doing?”
“What has it got to do with him?” Song Yu was confused.
“You didn’t see it with your own eyes. It was so obvious that Yang Yunshu tried to seduce him yesterday. If there had been no one in the office, I’m guessing she would have even stripped and thrown herself at him. Qi Chengzhi didn’t even utter a word and kept ignoring her. I suppose he had nothing to do with this, but Qi Chengzhi did seem displeased with that cold expression he had given yesterday.
“Also, Yang Yunshu seduced Qi Chengzhi yesterday and she got transferred today. I can’t think of any other possible reason except for this,” Ruan Danchen said with a lowered voice.
Song Yu blinked a few times. She was not really affected by this outcome. Even if it was Qi Chengzhi’s doing, she would not interfere if he wanted to give a lesson to an ignorant woman who tried to intrude on their relationship.
Even if Qi Chengzhi had orchestrated this, she would not go to him and plead on her behalf. She would not do such a thing for a woman as conniving as Yang Yunshu.
She was not so forgiving towards a woman who had intentions of seducing her man.
Regardless of the reason, it felt pretty good without Yang Yunshu around the office. At the very least, she would feel at ease.
…
…
It was as if Director Zhao’s secretary was expecting Yang Yunshu, she stood up when she arrived. “Xiao Yang, you’re looking for Director Zhao?”
Yang Yunshu tried to stay calm and managed to force a smile. “Yes, is Director Zhao available?”
The secretary nodded and said, “Director Zhao knew that you’ll be looking for him. He’s waiting inside, please enter.”
Yang Yunshu knocked and opened the door. Director Zhao pointed at the chair opposite him and said, “Please have a seat, Xiao Yang.”
“Director Zhao, I think you know why I’m here. I want to know why I’m being transferred to the engineering department to be an office clerk without any prior notice? You know that I’m an Architect by profession. Don’t you think my talents will be wasted on a desk job in the engineering department?”
“Xiao Yang, you’ve performed quite well since joining the company. However, you can’t blend in well with your colleagues. Furthermore, there are certain matters that can’t be overlooked, such as a man that is in a relationship with someone else…” Director Zhao thought for a moment before saying, “I’ll just go straight to the point!
“You really shouldn’t have involved yourself with a man like Qi Chengzhi.” Director Zhao saw a change in Yang Yunshu’s expression, her face had turned pale. He continued, “Qi Chengzhi told me what you did to him yesterday. He was not happy with your behavior. Do you really think that Qi Chengzhi would fall for your tricks?
“Xiao Yang, I know that you’re ambitious. However, we all have our own fate. You may not be able to get what others might have. If you hadn’t come on too strong, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.”
Yang Yunshu sprung up to her feet. It was unclear whether she turned red out of embarrassment or rage. She said, “Just because of such a trivial matter, he wants to destroy my career? I didn’t force him to respond, I just wanted to try my luck. Don’t I have the right to pursue someone?”
“You do, but he also has the right to reprimand you. He’s a valuable customer to our company. You knew that he already has a girlfriend, why would you still pursue further?” Director Zhao said in a disgruntled manner. What if Qi Chengzhi put the blame on Chengshi for what you did?
“Why can Song Yu do it, but not me!” Yang Yunshu asked stubbornly.
Director Zhao scoffed, “What makes you think that Song Yu made the first move on Qi Chengzhi? That’s why I just told you that we all have our own fate. It’s Qi Chengzhi who chose Song Yu. Do you really think that Chengshi has the ability to handle a massive project like Qilin’s hotel? Qi Chengzhi just wanted Song Yu to have it. Qilin’s project would be given to any company if only Song Yu was working for them.
“Qi Chengzhi almost destroyed Chengshi just because of Song Yu. Do you think you can afford to be involved with a man like him?” Director Zhao scorned and said, “If I hadn’t begged on your behalf, you wouldn’t even be able to keep your job. With Qi Chengzhi’s connections, do you think you’ll be able to survive in this field if he’s really pissed off and decided to keep you away from him? If he wanted to penalize you for making inappropriate advancements, he would have made sure that no company would ever hire you again, cutting off any possible career paths in this field.
“I’ll temporarily transfer you to the engineering department. After some time, you may be able to return to your original post if Qi Chengzhi forgets about this. As for now, you can only be an office clerk. If you’re not happy with this decision, it’s fine for you to resign.” After Director Zhao was done, he ignored her and returned to his monitor and clicked on the mouse. Yang Yunshu had no idea what he was looking at.
Yang Yunshu was so angry that she gasped for breath. It took her some effort to calm herself down.
She did not know whether Director Zhao was telling the truth, but she could still give it a try.
Of course, she would not be contented, being an insignificant clerk in Chengshi. Who knew how long would Director Zhao make her wait? He was probably just telling her that to get her off his tail.
Her plan was to stay put at Chengshi at the moment, just in case what was told by Director Zhao was true. Qi Chengzhi could cut her off from this field. In the meantime, she would search for suitable architecture jobs and resign once she has found one.
Yang Yunshu suppressed her anger as she returned to the office to pack her things. She saw Song Yu, with a cool and emotionless expression.
Just because Song Yu had such a strong support, she could not even care less about her job. She could come and go as she pleased. Even Director Zhao dared not say a word and had to treat her with care. Yang Yunshu really wanted to have a taste of the power to toy with one’s fate.
Yang Yunshu could not hold in her anger and stormed towards Song Yu’s desk with a distorted expression. “Song Yu, you’re so evil! You plotted revenge for such a minor incident. How petty can you be!”
Song Yu was baffled by Yang Yunshu’s scolding for no valid reason. She raised her head to look at Yang Yunshu oddly and frowned. Even though she had a good personality, she did not have to endure Yang Yunshu’s humiliation.
Judging from Yang Yunshu’s words, it was most likely Qi Chengzhi’s doing.
Song Yu put away the file that she was organizing and said, “You’ll need to explain the whole thing if you want to scold someone. Yang Yunshu, we’re colleagues. I tolerated you in the past and tried not to argue with you. However, it doesn’t mean that I will endure your audacious remarks and let you berate me like this.”
“I’m being audacious? Song Yu, who are you to toy with someone else’s job. It must feel pretty good to have the power to decide on one’s survival, huh! Why did you put up a facade and act so noble all the time? Who are you trying to impress? We’re colleagues, don’t you think I can see through you? Underneath that virtuous mien, you have no respect for others and look down on them. I did my job perfectly, what rights do you have to transfer me away!”
Yang Yunshu became more agitated as she spoke. Both her shoulders started trembling and tear droplets started falling out of her eyes.
Song Yu stood up and said indifferently, “Yang Yunshu, let’s make this clear. What do you mean when you said I transferred you away? This is not my company, I don’t have the rights to do that. I only saw the email from the human resources regarding your job transfer this morning. You just joined the company not too long ago. You and I don’t really know each other and I don’t know where all your hostility towards me stems from but don’t accuse me of such things!”
Yang Yunshu choked sadly and said, “How is it not your fault? Director Zhao personally admitted that he was forced by Qi Chengzhi to do so! Why would Young Master Cheng make life difficult for a nobody like me? It must be that the both of us are not getting along, and you pestered him to do this. Song Yu, you have such solid support but I don’t have any. Since you already have everything, why do you still want to agonize and bully me like that?”
“Yang Yunshu, I’m talking to you nicely, stop accusing me! I did not request Qi Chengzhi to do anything. If he was the one who caused your transfer, that was entirely his own decision. “You and I barely have any interaction, I don’t have to waste my effort on you. You are right about one thing, you’re just a nobody, why should I care for you?
“Even if I want to bully you, you’re not worthy enough! You are not worthy of my effort.” Song Yu looked at her coldly and continued, “You said that Qi Chengzhi forced Director Zhao to transfer you. You don’t need to use me as an excuse. You and I both know the real reason that caused this.
“Although it was entirely Qi Chengzhi’s intention and I was not made aware of this, I will not give you sympathy. Why should I sympathize a woman who tried to seduce my man shamelessly in the office? I won’t bully you, but I’ll watch my man do that to you. What can you do?
“You said that I have strong support, I agree with that. I am very satisfied with my support. It’s my fate to be chosen by Qi Chengzhi. However, it doesn’t mean that you can come and snatch him shamelessly. I did not compete with anyone. I just happen to have him in my life. I won’t demand it if he’s not meant to be mine. It also doesn’t signify that you can just push me over like that. If you have the audacity to seduce my man, you should be able to bear the consequences. Also, this is to let you know that not all men can be seduced by you. He had shown you mercy by not sealing your fate in this field.
“Since you’re capable of something so absurd, what grounds do you have to accuse me of bullying you? However, it seems only right that you can be so thick-skinned and throw all these accusations at me since you’re already so shameless, to begin with.” Song Yu did not hold back and scoffed coldly.
“You…” Yang Yunshu’s face turned pale. She thought about all her colleagues who were present in the office while she was berated by Song Yu. She had even used such crass words to scold her. How was she going to continue staying in the company? She would be the laughing stock of the whole office!
Yang Yunshu was so furious. It was like she could hear her mind explode and lost her senses. She raised her hand, aiming directly at Song Yu’s face.
“Yang Yunshu, what are you doing!” Director Zhao appeared at the entrance right before her hand landed on Song Yu’s face. He was so shocked and ran over hurriedly with an ashen face.
He dared not imagine what would happen if Song Yu was slapped in his company!
Director Zhao was so startled that his entire body was sweating. He ran over and grabbed Yang Yunshu’s hand and flung it aside. “This is the office, not a place for you to throw tantrums! Go and report yourself to the engineering department. You can work if you want to keep this job, if not, just resign!”
Feeling insulted, Yang Yunshu held her breath in. She wished that she could give Director Zhao a tough slap and shout, “I quit!”
However, she had no courage to do that. She did not have Song Yu’s fate to have a boyfriend like Qi Chengzhi.
