She was focused, about to finish her task, when an unwelcome visitor entered the shop. From the moment they saw her, they started trying to persuade her with all sorts of arguments, driving her to a headache.
Her initially good mood was affected, and she pushed herself out from under the car. Standing up, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, took off her gloves and tossed them aside, unscrewed the cap of a bottle of mineral water, and took a sip before turning around to look at the young woman dressed head to toe in Chanel with exquisite makeup. "I just like fixing cars, and my fixing cars has nothing to do with your family."
"Move, you’re blocking my way!"
Gu Xue was pushed aside by her, nearly twisting her ankle on her high heels. After managing to stabilize herself, her pale face showed a look of anger and embarrassment.
Gu Linxi found her usual towel to wipe off the sweat and dirt from grease on her body, as if Gu Xue didn’t exist.
Gu Xue had never seen such an indifferent and rebellious person before. She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and said, "I know you still think my dad didn’t save your uncle and that it led to his death, but you know the situation at that time. Your uncle’s company was already failing. If our family had helped, we would have been dragged down too. Who knew your uncle would take it so hard..."
Gu Linxi suddenly threw the towel onto the table, her cold eyes staring at her, and coldly commanded, "Shut up!"
Gu Xue was momentarily intimidated by her but quickly remembered why she should be afraid of her, and continued, "Sister. Uncle only left you, his daughter, and my dad wants to make it up to you. Grandma feels the same way. She’s old now and hasn’t seen you in a long time. She even mentioned you during her birthday, saying you weren’t there. The family arranged a position for you this time because of both Grandma’s and my dad’s wishes. The PR department manager has been working for ten years, and despite not having made major contributions to the company, she’s worked hard. We can’t just fire her to make room for you. You’ll start as a team leader, and after a while, we’ll find an opportunity to promote you."
The company’s PR department is essentially a group of attractive, eloquent women who accompany bosses at business dinners.
Of course, there are also professionals responsible for crisis PR and marketing planning.
The Gu Family made its fortune in industry, with solid quality, and rarely had issues. The company placed the least importance on PR.
Besides connections, the PR department consisted of women who drank with clients. The Gu Family offering her a team leader position there was indeed looking up to her!
"Not going!" Gu Linxi straightforwardly refused and turned her head to work on something else.
Gu Xue, repeatedly given the cold shoulder, couldn’t help losing her temper. Seeing that Linxi remained unmoved by her offer for a position back home, she felt disdain in her heart, but said, "Since you don’t want to, sister, there’s nothing I can do. I will go back and tell Grandma honestly."
"Whatever." Gu Linxi had long lost any affection for the Gu Family; if anything remained, it was only resentment. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥
She hadn’t made the Gu Family’s life difficult over these years solely because their blood ran in her veins—but just barely.
She didn’t want any more entanglements with the Gu Family!
Gu Xue saw her stubbornness, stood there for a while, realized she had no intention of acknowledging her, angrily picked up her bag, and turned to leave.
As she reached the door, she bumped into someone unexpected. "Doctor Cui? What are you doing here?"
She had been on a blind date with Cui Jiangjing before. On the surface, Cui Jiangjing was the youngest thoracic surgeon at Kangfei Hospital, but she knew a bit about the Cui Family background behind him.
The Gu Family being able to matchmake with the Cui Family was quite an accomplishment for them.
