Here. Su Qi received a call from Gu Tangxue, and they arranged to meet downstairs from the office building. Gu Tangxue gave Su Qi a big hug as soon as they met. In just a few days, Gu Tangxue's demeanor had changed; she was even picked up by an Alpha nanny van and had an assistant by her side.
"Wait for me in the car. I have something to do," Gu Tangxue, wearing sunglasses, instructed her assistant before taking Su Qi's hand. "How is it? Did you get the office building back?"
"Of course," Su Qi replied, showing the lease contract in her hand. "It went very smoothly."
"That's great!" Gu Tangxue almost couldn't resist kissing Su Qi. "Xiao Su, if I take advantage of you, will Mr. Huo be angry? Will my brother be angry?"
Such a drama queen.
"Alright, let's go in and take a look." Su Qi and Gu Tangxue entered the office building together. As the elevator doors opened, the spacious and bright office building was revealed.
"Wow! This is where our dream begins from now on!"
Gu Tangxue's eyes sparkled as if filled with stars. She spread her arms, rushed forward to hug the air, and then spun around, her hair and skirt flying. She looked like a butterfly.
"I love you, Xiao Su, I love you, I love you. I've finally waited for this day. You've always been by my side. I promise you, no matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side, never leaving!"
"Mm!"
Gu Tangxue didn't have much time; after starring as the female lead, she had many other engagements. After enjoying a moment of future dreams in the office building, they went downstairs.
As the Alpha car door opened, Su Qi saw a familiar man sitting inside.
It was Song Heqing.
Su Qi hadn't seen Song Heqing for a long time. After Su Qi resigned from the crew and the female lead was changed, she received a call from Song Heqing, but there was no news from him afterward. Su Qi had almost forgotten about him.
"Miss Su, congratulations. Or should I call you Chairman?"
Song Heqing sat in the car, a profound smile playing on his mature face.
Su Qi nodded politely, "Thank you, Director Song. I'll be entrusting Tangxue to your care from now on."
"Don't worry, Tangxue is a promising talent, and I will take good care of her. You should also take good care of yourself."
Song Heqing's gaze fell on Su Qi's stomach.
Su Qi frowned and instinctively raised her hand to protect her stomach.
"I'm leaving now, Xiao Su!"
Gu Tangxue blew Su Qi a kiss before getting into the car.
Su Qi watched the car drive away before returning to her own car.
She had been busy with the company's opening these past few days, and Su Qi was exhausted. As soon as she lay down on her pillow, she fell asleep. Huo Tingyun hadn't returned for several days, but every night, Su Qi would dream of being held, only to wake up to an empty bedside.
Su Qi rubbed her sore neck, likely having slept awkwardly last night.
If Huo Tingyun were here, he wouldn't be so well-behaved.
She had purchased office equipment these past two days and planned to hire staff. Su Qi posted a recruitment announcement online and contacted Yang Tianhao. Yang Tianhao was interested upon hearing about it, and they met at a coffee shop downstairs. "Are you really planning to resign and work with me?" Su Qi asked, surprised, pausing her stirring of milk.
"Of course. I've learned quite a bit over the years at Zhuiguang. I can lighten your burden considerably. Feel free to entrust it to me. I guarantee you'll be satisfied... Boss Su!" Yang Tianhao chuckled foolishly.
Su Qi felt reassured. With Yang Tianhao, she could indeed reduce a lot of pressure. "Alright, then I'll hire you first, Manager Yang!"
Yang Tianhao was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed. He stood up and firmly shook Su Qi's hand, "Thank you for your recognition, Boss Su!"
"What about Sister Huang Ying, though..."
"I'll explain it clearly to Sister Huang Ying."
Yang Tianhao was quick. He resigned that day and started the next, helping to purchase office equipment and interviewing several batches of candidates, selecting a few experienced employees. Everything went smoother than imagined.
On the day of the company's opening reception, many people attended, including Huang Ying and Song Heqing. Su Qi felt as if she were dreaming; everything was almost impossibly unreal.
Suddenly, the sound of high heels echoed, and a woman in high heels approached Gu Tangxue. She held a glass of red wine. After standing still, before Su Qi could clearly see who it was, the woman splashed the red wine in her hand onto Gu Tangxue's face.
The surrounding people gasped, all caught off guard.
Su Qi, standing next to Gu Tangxue, was the first to react. She shielded Gu Tangxue, blocking the woman with her body, and stopped her advance. "What are you doing!"
"Gu Tangxue! You vixen! You seduced my husband!"
Su Qi thought it was Xu Linyun, but the woman's voice was unfamiliar. She looked up and saw the woman's face, which she had never seen before.
In just a second, Su Qi had figured it out.
This must have been someone deliberately sent to frame Gu Tangxue!
Gu Tangxue was now a popular rising star, with many engagements. Any slight misstep could lead to widespread online criticism and abuse.
Although the company opening reception wasn't particularly grand, many people attended. Song Heqing, a renowned director, and Huang Ying, Zhuiguang's most outstanding agent, were present, as were some media reporters. While it looked more like a gathering of friends and family, any negative news could easily spread.
Su Qi immediately pulled Yang Tianhao aside and whispered a few words. Yang Tianhao understood immediately, sent people to secure the venue, and activated signal jamming equipment, cutting off the internet to ensure no information leaked out.
Gu Tangxue's face was as pale as paper; she was clearly facing such a situation for the first time and didn't know what to do. Song Heqing protected Gu Tangxue and handed her a towel to wipe her face clean.
After handling the situation, Su Qi frowned and looked at the strange woman. "You claim Gu Tangxue seduced your husband. What evidence do you have? If you have no evidence, I will call the police and sue you for slander and defamation. You won't be out of prison for at least three to five years!"
Su Qi's threat was clearly effective. A hint of fear appeared on the woman's face, but she swallowed and pretended to be calm, "It's this vixen who seduced my husband! Gu Tangxue! It's you!"
A middle-aged man with a large belly rushed out of the elevator, grabbed the woman, and tried to drag her away. "What are you doing!"
"Let me go! What? Are you afraid I'll kill your little darling, and you're feeling protective?! I'm telling you, you have to give me an explanation today!"
If Su Qi hadn't known Gu Tangxue so well, she might have been moved by this scene and almost believed it.
