<h4>Chapter 289: Missing the Taste of Coffee With Milk (1)</h4>


    Gu Yu moved his lips and spoke each word carefully, “Gu Corporation has always conducted its business in line with the regtions, and we will not tolerate any mistreatment of the workers or dishonesty. We have investigated this incident thoroughly and found that one person was abusing his position to suppress his subordinates behind his superiors’ backs and embezzle funds. Thepany has thus been handled severely. Regarding the specific details, the Gu Corporation will hold a press conference tomorrow to provide all of you with an honest exnation of the incident!”


    One truly had to admit that Gu Corporation was formidable! Within the short span of two days, they were able to uncover the truth and provide the results with astonishingly wless efficiency!


    Gu Yu himself possessed a certain charisma that allowed workers to feelforted and mollified.


    However, the next moment had changed that.


    The worker who was leading the protest suddenly shouted, “What a convenient excuse! The Gu Corporation is such a bigpany. Now that something has happened, you’re trying to push the me onto a single person? Do you think we’re stupid enough to be satisfied with such an answer?”


    His extremely seditious words sessfully stirred up the wrath of the workers who had already calmed down.


    Gu Yu remainedposed. He turned his lips up in a sardonic smile and focused his dark eyes intently on the leader’s face. In a leisurely tone, he replied, “Even though the details of the matter have not been announced yet, you are already certain that Gu Corporation intends to shift the me onto one person. Were you involved in the case? Did you personally witness it? If not, then… are you purely fabricating news and using us indiscriminately?”


    Everyone knew that the worker leading the protest was neither involved in the case nor did he personally witness it. Thus, the third option Gu Yu presented was the only possible one!


    As the man’s face reddened with embarrassment, he was unable to defend himself for a while.


    After giving his exnation, Gu Yu turned around and strode off.


    Since Gu Yu had said that he would be holding a press conference to announce the truth the next day, the workers didn’t continue to protest. They slowly dispersed, and the live broadcast ended.


    As Xu Wei put her cell phone down, she leaned back against the couch.


    Gu Yu might have managed to cate the people for now. However, he would still need to prove at the press conference tomorrow that the situation was caused by an individual’s actions and had nothing to do with thepany. If he failed to do so, then dealing with the workers was going to be even tougher than it had been today.


    Without realizing it herself, Xu Wei furrowed her brows tightly.


    She quickly shook her head again to prevent herself from thinking about it. Unable to sit still, she got up and walked around the apartment. Agitated that the ce wasn’t as clean as she had wanted it to be, she swept the ce and tidied it again.


    She prepared her own lunch in the afternoon only to lose her appetite after a few mouthfuls. After washing the dishes, she headed into the bedroom to take a nap.


    Theptop that she had left on the couch sounded with a chime.


    Xu Wei had walked to her bedside, but she turned around upon hearing the sound from herptop and headed over to the couch. She picked up herptop to find a new message from her Big Boss.


    Xu Wei opened it and read its contents: [There’s a smallst-minute assignment. Are you interested?]


    The Big Boss had told her to rest well during the New Year holidays, so he did not assign any tasks to her. Hence, she hadn’t expected to receive this message at such a time.


    However, she knew a smallst-minute assignment it wouldn’t pay much either. Instead of immediately epting it, Xu Wei moved her fingers and typed the following reply: [What’s the assignment?]


    Immediately, the Big Boss sent her the assignment brief. Xu Wei took her time to open it. Her eyes deepened when she was done reading it.


    After hesitating for five minutes, Xu Wei finally replied: [Alright. I’ll take it.]
