章 15: Lady boss

Wu Jinyan then looked at Gu Zichen with a hint of mockery playing on her curved lips. "President Gu... I found that some people you employed are not up to the mark. You better sieve your employees soon... if not I don't know what will happen in the future..."

Gu Zichen stared deep into her eyes. No woman had spoken to him like she did now, but he wasn't offended. He was just doubtful about his position in their relationship.

Did he behave too lenient with her or was it because she wasn't afraid of him?

Either way, he found her intriguing. Although she was standing right before him, he felt she was beyond his reach.

Every single action of hers was like a firework. Dazzling and exciting. He found her so strange at the moment, that he doubted if she was the same silly, innocent woman who married him without knowing his identity.

The employees looked at each other in confusion.

Who exactly was this woman? Moreover, their President was silent as hell and listened to her every word in a submissive manner.

Team leader Su was infuriated. 'Plagiarism?! Who's this ugly woman? She's spouting such nonsense. President Gu, who's this rowdy woman?" Team leader Su asked in an angered tone.

Gu Zichen's eyes turned icy cold as his gaze fell on Team Leader Su. He thought Wu Jinyan was right. Some people under him were not qualified to work for him.

Chen Fei felt like he was watching a suspense thriller movie in the conference room, and goosebumps arose on his skin when he heard Wu Jinyan's words. She looked much scarier, and the way she spoke to him was bone-chilling. In simple words, she was just an unfathomable and tyrannical she-devil.

As Gu Zichen's assistant for more than five years, he instantly sensed the dangerous air being emitted by his boss. He immediately warned the staff member before Gu Zichen could take action. "Team leader Su, watch your words."

"Assistant Chen, look how she casually said I plagiarised someone's ideas with no evidence" Team Leader Su retorted. Although the concept was not hers, she believed her team members would never make such rookie mistakes.

Chen Fei glanced at Gu Zichen and Wu Jinyan before speaking "Team leader Su, I admit there are some unsophisticated people in the world but I will not accept if you say our 'lady boss' belonged to the same category as you"

What?! All the people in the meeting room gaped at each other and then at Wu Jinyan with their jaws dropped.

She was their lady boss. When did their boss get married? They never expected their boss to have such weird tastes but who could question him?

This woman's appearance was extremely eye-piercing and one with a weak heart would die on the spot seeing her horrid look.

Gu Zichen already planned to let the world know that he was married. So, he didn't have any objections to Chen Fei's words. However, as per his wife's request, he wouldn't make her identity public for now.

Wu Jinyan didn't mind Chen Fei revealing her status. She wasn't bothered as her real face was yet to be disclosed.

She said to Chen Fei authoritatively "Assistant Chen, with all that mud in her head, forget it. Just show her Country A's H&J Group advertisements and see if she realizes her mistakes.."

Gu Zichen stared at Wu Jinyan as she spoke confidently, her hands folded across her chest.

H&J group! He knew it was one of those recently rising business groups in the western part of the world.

Team leader Su knew H&J group's products were all focused on health, personal care and hygiene. But what did their advertisement have to do with a regular energy drink commercial?

"H&H group? The concept used for this energy drink advertising was my idea. What do H&H products have in common with our products?" Team leader Su mumbled.

"Exactly...I'm also asking the same. Then, why did you use their impotence medicine commercial to publicize an energy drink?" Wu Jinyan stressed her every word as she peered at Team Leader Su. She gave every detail so clearly, that Chen Fei already found the commercial used by the H&J group online. However, the commercial was from two years ago and not many know of this product's existence as it was immediately removed from the market due to several problems.

Gu Zichen signalled Assistant Chen to display it for everyone to watch. Wu Jinyan sounded so confident, he was sure she was not afraid of losing anything.

Everyone watched the clip played but found both works similar except for the faces of the people in the commercial and the product used.

In the H&J group's ad, A couple was on the bed. The man was too tired while his wife was dissatisfied. The man then takes the medication his doctor prescribed him and his vigour lasts the whole night and he had a child earlier than his peers.

In the energy drink commercial, A couple was on the bed. The man was too tired while his wife was dissatisfied. She then hands him an energy drink to boost his energy. The rest of the clip was the same as the previous one.

After watching both videos, Team Leader Su was speechless. Her face turned pale as that of a ghost's and she looked at her team members who in return lowered their heads in shame. They plagiarised someone's work but hid it from her on purpose...to throw her out of the company.

Were they betraying her by taking credit for their efforts all the while? Do they hate her that much? Her career was going to end just like that?

"Just tell me...who exactly uses a concept like this for a product that would be bought and consumed by every age group?! Are you trying to mislead the public by saying the product has some drug? Do you know how many problems the company would face by publicising an energy drink in such a manner? And you call yourself the best employee!" Wu Jinyan scowled looking at Team Leader Su.

"President Gu, you think this kind of trash is qualified to work in Gu corporation. I don't think so"

Wu Jinyan pointed at Team Leader Su before leaving the room without turning back. She was so frustrated and angered by the team leader's attitude, that she lost control of her emotions and unknowingly raised her voice while speaking to Gu Zichen.

Chen Fei guessed all kinds of wild emotions would cloud Gu Zichen's face but all he found was a faint smile on his boss's lips. His boss smiled like a silly man when his wife yelled at him.

Only god knows what ghost exactly got into his boss!

....

The news of the lady boss scolding an employee and asking the boss to kick her out of the company was spread like wildfire. The company's internal forum was blasting with endless popups.

The fire was spread over such a wide space that everyone in the upper business circle caught the news that Gu Zichen was married... particularly to an ugly woman with a distorted mind.

The elder couple in the Gu residence received continuous phone calls for more details. Gu Cheng and Shen Xuizhen were caught off guard, they immediately summoned Gu Zihao to ask what was happening with his big brother.
