Chapter 16 : Shifting Blame

  • What Ji You said was already indirect enough. She didn't want to shift blame, but since she was here, she had to speak up.
  • And she had just stepped on a photo, and the man in the photo looked at her as if he wanted to devour her.
  • She didn't even know who the person in the photo was, and Ji You felt extremely unhappy.
  • "Am I the director or are you the director? She is your subordinate. How to arrange things should be your decision, not something you come and ask me about. Why do I give you a salary every month? Is it for you to come and ask me whenever you have something?"
  • Huo Ciyi was already angry, and now he understood that Ji You was trying to shift blame. This made him even more furious.
  • After all, he intentionally had Mu Yuyan join Ji You's team.
  • Ji You's scalp went numb for a moment. Huo Ciyi was truly cunning!
  • Not only did he criticize her directly, but he also didn't give any positive response to her question.
  • "I understand, then I'll go busy myself." Ji You hurriedly wanted to leave.
  • But she was suddenly stopped by Huo Ciyi. "Wait."
  • Ji You's footsteps came to a halt, her back tensed up, and she stiffly turned around to face Huo Ciyi, smiling awkwardly. "I wonder what Mr. Huo wants to talk to me about..."
  • "Do you have a husband?"
  • "No." Ji You furrowed her brows tightly, not understanding why Huo Ciyi would ask such a question.
  • "It's nothing, you can go now." Huo Ciyi waved his hand at her, signaling for her to leave.
  • He had previously sent someone to investigate whether Ji You had any children, but there was still no news. The person he sent couldn't find any information, either because Ji You was being heavily protected and kept her personal life hidden, or because she was too ordinary and no one paid attention to her. Moreover, she had just returned from outside, so there was no information to find.
  • But just now, when he asked Ji You if she had children or was married, it seemed like she didn't have any children...
  • After leaving the CEO's office, Ji You patted her chest busily, trying to calm herself down. Huo Ciyi was truly unpredictable. He just asked her if she had been married?
  • He's really neurotic...
  • Ji You didn't think too much about it and left.
  • She spent the whole day familiarizing herself with the company's rules and regulations, as well as the floors where each leader's office was located, to facilitate communication. She also finished reading the information about the upcoming major projects from Su Yun.
  • Finally, it was time to get off work.
  • Ji You stretched lazily, planning to leave, but she saw Su Yun deliberately passing by her and saying, "Don't get too cocky. Let's see what you'll do tomorrow."
  • After saying that, Su Yun snorted and left.
  • "No need for you to worry." Ji You replied with a smile and left.
  • ...
  • The next morning, Ji You arrived at the company. As soon as she entered the office, she heard Su Yun, who had already arrived, say, "Mr. Huo wants you to go to his office. Miss Ning has already arrived, so he probably wants you to bring her along."
  • Su Yun sat in her office chair, occasionally kicking the table with her legs, watching Ji You as if she was watching a joke.
  • Ji You didn't put down her bag and went straight to the CEO's office.
  • What had to happen would always happen.
  • As soon as she entered the office, she saw Mu Yuyan, who had already arrived. She was wearing a pink chiffon dress, carrying the latest limited edition Chanel bag, and the bracelet on her wrist had also been featured on magazine covers.
  • Mu Yuyan's entire outfit was worth a fortune. Obviously, she came today to impress everyone present.
  • "Mu Yuyan, from now on, Ji You will be your supervisor. You'll follow her." Huo Ciyi had a completely indifferent expression towards Mu Yuyan, who had dressed up carefully today.
