"Keep working?"
"Mr. Gu, this..."
Wang Ming was stunned by Gu Chenan's words.
He wasn't surprised that Gu Chenan would speak up for him, but rather that Gu Chenan was just Su Qianmo's boyfriend - what right did he have to say such things?
Miss Su has already fired me, how could I stay at the company just because of your word?
That's impossible, right?
Wang Ming looked confusedly between Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo, unsure of what to do.
Su Qianmo's face remained dark. She was determined to fire Wang Ming.
These people had repeatedly invaded her privacy, and even though their intentions might have been good, this alone was enough reason to fire them.
Moreover, Su Qianmo had already warned them twice not to pry into Gu Chenan's private life, but these people not only didn't stop but became even more excessive by resorting to stalking.
Therefore, Su Qianmo had to make an example of someone to warn the others.
But Gu Chenan knew nothing about all this.
He had no idea that these employees had already approached Su Qianmo twice about these matters before this incident. He even thought that employees caring about Su Qianmo's welfare showed their loyalty.
At this moment, Gu Chenan suddenly felt Su Qianmo gently poking his back.
He turned around with a smile and said, "These employees are just concerned about you. Give them a chance."
Su Qianmo frowned and whispered, "By concern, do you mean how they keep focusing on our private lives instead of their work, despite my repeated warnings?"
Hearing this, Gu Chenan was stunned.
"This isn't the first time?"
Su Qianmo replied with displeasure, "They've approached me twice already. Each time I severely warned them, but they ignored it. Including this time, it's the third occurrence. If we don't fire such employees, similar incidents will continue endlessly."
"I understand."
Gu Chenan nodded.
If this had been the first time, Gu Chenan might have still considered it a show of loyalty, but Su Qianmo had already spoken to them several times, yet they showed no change.
How could this be called loyalty?
We pay you to work, not to constantly monitor your boss's private life!
"I've changed my mind."
Gu Chenan turned around, his expression turning grim.
He nodded to the group before him and said, "All of you, go to HR tomorrow to process your resignation."
"What?"
"Why?"
Several people were shocked upon hearing this.
Even now, they hadn't realized what they had done wrong. If they didn't make an example of someone, as Su Qianmo said, such incidents would continue endlessly!
"You ask why?"
Gu Chenan frowned and said, "Are we paying you to obsess over my and Qianmo's private life every day? If you're so interested in fortune-telling, why don't you go study the I Ching?"
When Su Qianmo, as Caiying's CEO, had spoken to fire Wang Ming, he naturally had nothing to say, even though Gu Chenan had first said to let Wang Ming keep working before changing his mind.
However, Su Qianmo hadn't mentioned firing the others, so when they heard Gu Chenan's words, they all had the same thought.
Who the hell are you?
You're just Su's boyfriend. Su is Caiying's CEO. She hasn't said anything about firing us, so who are you to make such demands?
They completely ignored Gu Chenan's words, instead all looking at Su Qianmo, as if only her words mattered.
Seeing this, Gu Chenan smiled and repeated his previous statement.
"Everyone, didn't you hear what I said? You're all fired."
The group exchanged glances, and someone couldn't help but speak up: "Mr. Gu, we are Caiying's employees, and Miss Su is our CEO. Only her word counts regarding dismissals, not yours."
With these words, everyone seemed to gain confidence and started speaking up.
"That's right, you're just Miss Su's boyfriend, what right do you have to fire us?"
"Miss Su is Caiying's CEO, not you!"
"Heh."
Gu Chenan laughed playfully.
The group immediately turned to Su Qianmo and said, "Miss Su, we were rash in this matter. We definitely won't do anything like this again."
Seeing how they completely disregarded Gu Chenan, Su Qianmo's already displeased expression darkened further.
She narrowed her eyes, her usually charming gaze turning fierce.
"Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear what Mr. Gu said?"
Pointing at the group before her, Su Qianmo emphasized each word: "You! Are! All! Fired!"
Upon hearing this, their expressions changed dramatically, filled with disbelief.
Miss Su fired us just because of Mr. Gu's words?
How is this possible?
Has Mr. Gu somehow gotten control over Miss Su?
We're all longtime employees of Caiying!
"Miss Su, we know we were wrong, but you can't fire us just because of Mr. Gu's words!"
"Yes, Miss Su, we've been at Caiying for so long and have always been loyal. We didn't leave even when Caiying was struggling. You can't fire us like this!"
"Miss Su, please give us another chance!"
Hearing their pleas, Su Qianmo took a deep breath and said sternly, "I'm not the one firing you - Mr. Gu is. Get that straight!"
Huh?
Everyone was even more confused.
Mr. Gu fired us? What right does he have to fire us?
"But Miss Su, what authority does Mr. Gu have to fire us?"
"Yes, Miss Su, on what grounds can Mr. Gu fire us?"
"On what grounds?" Su Qianmo smiled before saying seriously, "On the grounds that Mr. Gu is Caiying's actual controlling shareholder. Is that ground enough for you?"
Upon hearing this, the group staggered as if struck by lightning.
Mr. Gu is the company's actual controlling shareholder?
That means Mr. Gu is Caiying's owner?!
How... how is this possible?!
Hasn't Mr. Gu always been just Miss Su's boyfriend?
Suddenly, everyone had another realization.
Could it be that Caiying had been Mr. Gu's business all along, and he had appointed his girlfriend, Su Qianmo, as the company's CEO!
Thinking of this, they felt the world spinning, their entire worldview crumbling.
"Mr... Mr. Gu."
They immediately turned to Gu Chenan with pleading looks: "Mr. Gu, we were blind. Please give us another chance."
"Heh."
Gu Chenan spread his hands and smiled, "Hasn't Miss Su already given you two chances? Yet you ignored her orders. Your dismissal is entirely your own doing."
"That's enough talk. Report to HR tomorrow."
Having said this, ignoring the group's shock, Gu Chenan put his arm around Su Qianmo and walked past them toward the deep end.

Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
