[R18] Provoke (1V1H) – “Provocation (1V1H)” Chapter 182: Angry from Humiliation (3500+) [English]

Qin Qing took Tian Xin out of Lin Feng’s office. In fact, she wanted to create opportunities for Lin Feng to let Tian Xin stay, but Tian Xin refused, saying that he could not work during working hours and was lazy, and insisted on returning to work, leaving Qin Qing at a loss.

Although Lin Feng was a little regretful that he could not be alone with Tian Xin, he had no objection. On the contrary, he admired Tian Xin’s idea. After all, he was also a person who valued work, and he naturally liked Tian Xin’s motivation and self-consciousness.

After saying goodbye to the two of them, Qin Qing took a deep breath, then knocked on the door of the CEO’s office and walked in slowly.

What she saw was Gu Shaoming sitting at the table with a dark face, staring at her intently. What surprised her was that Yang Xinyi didn’t seem to be in a good mood, with her nostrils turned up in the air as if she didn’t want to see her.

Yang Xinyi was naturally in a bad mood. She thought that if Qin Qing left her wisely, she could spend time alone with Gu Shaoming to develop a relationship. Who knew that after she left, Gu Shaoming became even more cold and indifferent to her, and now he even called Qin Qing back.

Gu Shaoming’s actions gave Yang Xinyi a subconscious sense of crisis. She looked at Qin Qing as if she were a vixen, fearing that she would hook up with Gu Shaoming if she didn’t notice Qin Qing.

Qin Qing was too lazy to pay attention to Yang Xinyi, looked at Gu Shaoming and asked meekly: “President, do you have anything to do with me?”

“Where did you go just now?” Gu Shaoming did not answer directly, but asked in a deep voice.

Qin Qing was a little confused that he would be curious about this, but he still answered honestly: “I didn’t go anywhere, I just walked around the company to get familiar with the environment again.”

Qin Qing subconsciously concealed her visit to Lin Feng’s office. After all, he didn’t tell Gu Shaoming that she was there when Gu Shaoming called Lin Feng. Now if she told him, wouldn’t it make Gu Shaoming think that Lin Feng was hiding it from him on purpose.

Gu Shaoming sneered when he heard this, “How long have you been in the company and you are still not familiar with the environment? Are you working hard in the company these days?”

Qin Qing: “…” When I first came to the company, I just wanted to work for a living.

She didn’t forget that at first, Gu Shaoming just let her stay in the office, just sit there with the air conditioner on, drink coffee, and then make eye contact with him. This also aroused the hostility of countless people in the company, and caused a lot of hatred for her. Isn’t that just a job?

But what’s wrong with Gu Shaoming? Why is he so angry? He gets angry at him even after a disagreement.

“President, although we were familiar with each other before, I usually stay in this office and rarely go out, so now I just want to get familiar with you more deeply.” Qin Qing frowned secretly, but still explained seriously.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she didn’t know what kind of thunder she stepped on Yang Xinyi. This time it was her turn to feel unhappy. She snorted coldly and glared at Qin Qing with dissatisfaction, secretly cursing that she was indeed a vixen who stayed in the office all day long trying to seduce Gu Shaoming.

Qin Qing had no idea that her unintentional words had made the jealous Yang Xinyi unhappy again. He glanced at her inexplicably, as if she was crazy, and his face changed for no reason. It seemed that she really hated herself.

Yang Xinyi believed that she and Qin Qing were not on the same level, so she glared at her with disdain, then turned her head and said to Gu Shaoming with a smile: “Shao Ming, since she is not familiar with it yet, let her go, so as not to upset people here.”

Seeing that she took the opportunity to put her hand on Gu Shaoming’s shoulder, Qin Qing couldn’t help but curl her lips and prepared to go out like this. Yang Xinyi saw that she was upset, and she was still upset seeing the two of them like this.

Gu Shaoming didn’t refuse Yang Xinyi’s approach. He didn’t speak when she asked Qin Qing to go out. He secretly kept observing her reaction and found that not only was she indifferent to Yang Xinyi’s closeness to him, but she even really wanted to go out like this. A hint of deep anger flashed in his eyes.

“Qin Qing, I want to remind you that it is work time now. Don’t think that just because you are Mrs. Gu, you can be lazy. Go back to your place.”

Qin Qing was stunned, frowning at he’s rude attitude, pursed his lips, and finally returned to his seat without saying anything.

She was unhappy, but Yang Xinyi was even more angry than she.

Yang Xinyi couldn’t believe her ears. What did she hear? Don’t be lazy just because you think it’s Mrs. Gu. This sounded like a reprimand, but it was also a disguised admission that Qin Qing was Mrs. Gu.

It was clear that Gu Shaoming had an indifferent attitude towards this woman before. What happened during this period of time made him take the initiative to admit Qin Qing’s identity.

“Shao Ming, you…” Yang Xinyi hesitated and wanted to ask why he said that, but was interrupted by Gu Shaoming before she could finish speaking.

“I’m very busy. If you have nothing to do, you can go and sit next to me. Just ask someone to bring you something to drink.” He had a cold face. He didn’t even look at her when he spoke, but focused on the documents in his hand.

Yang Xinyi bit her lip unwillingly, but she didn’t dare to really disobey him. She was afraid of annoying him, so she could only sit on the sofa aside in frustration.

Qin Qing was a little strange about Gu Shaoming’s attitude towards Yang Xinyi. In the past, she always thought that Yang Xinyi was the person Gu Shaoming liked, but looking at his cold attitude towards Yang Xinyi, it didn’t seem like he liked her. However, it might be because he had always been like this, and he was used to being cold to people he liked.

But I have to say that she was quite happy to see Yang Xinyi also being frustrated by Gu Shaoming, and her dissatisfaction with Gu Shaoming’s bad attitude was even more balanced.

There was a strange atmosphere in the silent office. The three of them each occupied a position. Qin Qing was holding his chin in a daze, Gu Shaoming seemed to be focused on handling official duties, and Yang Xinyi looked at Gu Shaoming as if he wanted to speak but didn’t dare.

“Qin Qing, sort out these plans and the copywriting that Lin Feng gave you a few days ago, and give them to me before get off work in the afternoon.”

Qin Qing was thinking about something idle when he was suddenly thrust into a pile of work by Gu Shaoming, and he looked at him in confusion.

“Before get off work in the afternoon?” Qin Qing’s eyes widened, and he finally realized what he was doing and asked with disbelief on his face.

Not to mention that the so-called projects that Gu Shaoming has stuffed into her now are so thick. Even the copywriting that Lin Feng gave her before is definitely not less than this. She has to sort it out before getting off work in the afternoon. Doesn’t this embarrass her, a novice?

“What? Do you have any objections?”

Gu Shaoming raised his eyebrows slightly. Seeing Qin Qing finally focusing on he, he felt secretly happy, but asked forcefully on his face.

Qin Qing couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.Nonsense, of course I have opinions!

However, it was obvious that Qin Qing did not dare to say this so confidently, so he could only phrase it slightly: “It’s just that the workload is a bit heavy, and I have just taken over the secretary’s job, so I am not familiar with some places. It will be difficult to finish it before get off work in the afternoon.”

Qin Qing swore that her tone was very gentle and she explained her situation rationally.

She was telling the truth. Although she had experience helping Gu Shaoming handle some affairs before, it was just for fun after all, and she didn’t know many professional things. Now she is taking over the job of secretary in a serious manner, and what needs to be done is naturally much more formal.

Although she had done similar work before, it was still a little different after all. She still had to take some time to get familiar with it. How could she complete it in one day, not counting the night?

Originally, Qin Qing thought that Gu Shaoming would definitely understand what she said, but unexpectedly, he gave a cold chill.

“How do you know you can’t do it before you do it? Don’t make excuses for your laziness, or are you regretting it? Don’t you want to compensate for the results you created?”

“…”

Qin Qing choked, when did she become lazy… She just tried every means to avoid coming to the company. After all, she had to sell her personal freedom for decades. She would be a ghost if she didn’t hide.

However, even though she came to the company in hiding, as long as Gu Shaoming arranged work for her, she would complete it seriously, which was not considered lazy at all.

As for that damn compensation, she thought about it later and realized that she had been completely deceived by Gu Shaoming. It was just because she had already agreed that she didn’t go to him to argue, because it was useless to argue.

Thinking of this, Qin Qing glared at Gu Shaoming with slightly angry eyes, “President, I don’t think I’m making excuses, I’m just telling the truth.”

She paused, and finally couldn’t help but add, “And I consider myself not a lazy person, and I won’t regret anything I promised!”

Gu Shaoming’s eyes flashed slightly when he heard Qin Qing’s words, and he smiled inadvertently. Before he could say anything, Yang Xinyi next to him had already spoken first.

She sneered disdainfully and said: “I just arranged a job for you, but you refused and refused, and you still claimed that you were not lazy? I have never seen anyone as thick-skinned as you.”

Yang Xinyi took every opportunity to mock Qin Qing, wishing she could be demoted to worthless in front of Gu Shaoming.

Qin Qing was too lazy to pay attention to her and didn’t even look at her. He just stared at Gu Shaoming and waited for her response.

This made Yang Xinyi, who was waiting with disdain for Qin Qing to become angry, look ugly. She glared at Qin Qing with her big eyes, seeming to be very resentful of her neglect of her.

Gu Shaoming glanced at Yang Xinyi lightly, with no emotion in his dark and deep eyes, and then asked Qin Qing crisply: “Are you the president or am I the president?”

“…You are the president.”

“Then do you have any other opinions?”

“…” Qin Qing choked, feeling speechless, and secretly gritted his teeth with hatred.

The president is amazing. Can the president exploit employees at will? Besides, she is not just an employee. This beast has no intention of showing mercy to her, which is really annoying.

Qin Qing sighed dejectedly and could only take over the job and return to his post and work hard.

Gu Shaoming saw that she didn’t refuse anymore, with a slightly satisfied look on his face, and said to Yang Xinyi next to him: “You’ve had enough of staying here, go back first, I have to work, and I don’t have the free time to do it with you.”

This was the second time she had been ordered to be kicked out. Yang Xinyi bit her lip unwillingly, not wanting to leave, not to mention knowing that Qin Qing was working in his office. However, she also knew that Gu Shaoming could tolerate her the first time, but would not tolerate her the second time. Even if she was unwilling to give in, she could not stay anymore, but she would not leave so easily.

“Shao Ming, we haven’t gotten together for a long time, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?”

Yang Xinyi pulled Gu Shaoming’s sleeves to act coquettishly, her voice deliberately softened and became coquettish.

She didn’t deliberately lower her voice. Rather, she deliberately amplified it so that Qin Qing could hear it.
