A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 159 I Am Not Going to Take This Lying Down

"Get out of my way!"

Naturally, Qiu Mu-Cheng turned a deaf ear to Wang Xiu-E's ridicule.

She gave a cold retort, pushed the latter aside and walked toward her office.

However, when Qiu Mu-Cheng pushed open the door, she discovered that the decor had changed

completely.

There was a new set of sofa and the room had been laid with a brand new carpet. Her old office desk

and chair were also gone. Standing in their place were a handcrafted redwood table and an expensive

ergonomic chair.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was shocked by the extravagance in front of her.

As for the place where she had used to sit, it had already been occupied.

By a couple! A man and woman!

"Are you blind?"

"Do you not know how to knock?"

"Do you still want this job? If you want to quit, you can get lost right now!"

At this moment, Qiu Mu-Ying was in the throes of rage. Her husband, Chu Wen-Fei, was looking

unhappy as he adjusted his clothes that had fallen into disarray.

Earlier, Qiu Mu-Ying and her husband had been making out in the office. But she had not imagined that

she would be so rudely interrupted. She had only just sat down on Chu Wen-Fei's thigh and their lips

had only just barely touched, when the door was rudely thrust open.

Naturally, Qiu Mu-Ying was angry after her fun time had been interrupted. She did not feel the slightest

bit of shame about using work hours to make out.

"Qiu Mu-Ying, the office is not your home!"

"Let me give you a word of advice. Don't push your luck too far." "Otherwise, I shall ignore the fact that

we are cousins and report to grandfather."

Qiu Mu-Cheng had a cold expression on her pretty face as she lashed out at the shameless couple

who were indecently dressed.

Clearly, Qiu Mu-Cheng had not imagined that Qiu Mu-Ying and her husband would be so bold as to

make out with each other at her desk during work hours.

"Heh?"

"Oh, so it is you?"

"Qiu Mu-Cheng, I didn't think you would have the nerve to come back here?"

Qiu Mu-Ying burst out laughing the moment she saw her cousin. Meanwhile, her eyes were filled with

disdain and mockery.

"Get out of my way!" "Go home if you want to make out! Don't bother me when I am working!"

"Zhang Heng! Get them out of my office now!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng could not be bothered to argue any more with the shameless couple.

She knew that it would be useless to say anything more. Right now, Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei

were Master Qiu's favorites and, since they had the old man's backing, there was nothing Qiu Mu-

Cheng could do to them.

She could only call for Zhang Heng to throw them out of her office. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

However, a whole ten seconds passed by but, still, nobody answered her summon.

"Mm?"

"Zhang Heng, did you not hear me? I am calling for you!”

Qiu Mu-Cheng was upset and, once again, she called for Zhang Heng with a frown on her face.

As one of Qiu Mu-Cheng's trusted subordinates, his office was just right next to hers. Usually, he would

answer her summons without delay.

But today, he had failed to appear after such a long wait. Naturally, Qiu Mu-Cheng was upset by this.

And when Qiu Mu-Ying saw this, she broke out in a smile.

She crossed her arms, sat down behind the desk and smiled at her cousin.

"Zhang Heng? Oh, you mean the head of department who used to occupy the office next door? That

Zhang Heng? He is standing guard outside the building right now. Did you not see him when you

came?"

What?

Qiu Mu-Ying's words shocked her cousin. And Qiu Mu-Cheng's expression turned even colder.

"Qiu Mu-Ying, do you think I will believe your nonsense?"

"Zhang Heng is a veteran of our company. There is no way Uncle Guang will make him work as a

security guard."

Personnel placement is fundamental to the development of a company. And at Qiushui Logistics, Qiu

Mu-Cheng's uncle, Qiu Guang, was the person in charge of human resources.

"You don't believe me?"

"If you don't believe me, you can go ask your trusted lackey, Du Juan."

"I may lie to you, but Du Juan would not lie to you, right? She is like a sister to you after all."

Qiu Mu-Ying continued to speak sarcastically to her cousin.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng simply ignored her and started calling out for Du Juan.

However, half a minute passed by and, still, nobody answered her summon.

"Oh, Mu-Cheng, I nearly forgot. Your good friend, Du Juan, has already been transferred to the

janitorial department. She is now in charge of daily cleaning duties at our company. At this time of the

day, she should be out there scrubbing the bowls in some toilet."

"Hahaha~"

Qiu Mu-Ying spoke in a voice dripping with sarcasm and, beside her, Chu Wen-Fei's face was full of

mocking laughter.

Just then, the husband and wife duo was looking at Qiu Mu-Cheng as if she was an object of ridicule.

They were doing this on purpose; they wanted to embarrass her.

"What rubbish!"

"Du Juan and Zhang Heng are both capable veterans of the company."

"There is no way Uncle Guang would let you do as you please with them!"

Even till the very last moment, Qiu Mu-Cheng was determined not to yield to her opponents.

"Miss Qiu, here are the documents you asked for."

Just then, Li Fei-Fei entered the room.

"Fei-Fei, you came at the right time. I was just talking about your two former colleagues. One of them is

a security guard now and the other is scrubbing toilet bowls. But Miss Qiu does not believe me. Since it

is like that, please tell her if what I said was the truth. Also, please tell your former boss who is running

the project department now. Tell her who is in charge of the partnership with the Hongqi Group. And tell

her who you are working for now."

When she saw Li Fei-Fei, Qiu Mu-Ying broke into a smile. Li Fei-Fei was not only her cousin's former

subordinate, but the person the latter had trusted the most. So hearing the cruel truth from Li Fei-Fei

would definitely crush Qiu Mu-Cheng's spirit. It was too easy.

And just as expected, when Li Fei-Fei told Qiu Mu-Cheng about the personnel transfers that had taken

place over the past couple of days, the latter's peerlessly beautiful face turned pale right away.

"Mu-Cheng, did you hear what she just said?"

"I am now the person in charge of the partnership with Hongqi Group."

"Also, just yesterday, my husband and I invited a manager from Hongqi Group to dinner. Mr. Liu is the

person in charge of the partnership with our company and also a business friend of my father-in-law.

With this connection between us, I will be able to work very well with them.”

"As for you, Qiu Mu-Cheng, there is no longer a place for you at Qiushui Logistics!"

Qiu Mu-Ying spoke smugly and looked mockingly at her cousin with the eyes of a victor.

"Oh yeah, Mu-Cheng. I have to thank you for the proposal that you wrote a while ago. Grandfather was

very pleased with it and even praised me at the family meeting yesterday.”

"You—"

"Shameless!"

While Qiu Mu-Ying was speaking, Qiu Mu-Cheng's face was turning increasingly pale. Finally, when

she heard that Qiu Mu-Ying had stolen the proposal she had worked so hard on for several days and

taken credit for it in front of their grandfather, Qiu Mu-Cheng got so worked up that she trembled all

over and nearly fell over as she staggered on her feet.

"Fei-Fei, well done. Well done indeed."

"Was that your proof of allegiance?"

"Fei-Fei, I don't blame you. I only blame myself for being blind and trusting a backstabber like you~"

Qiu Mu-Cheng looked ready to cry. Just then, she was feeling so angry and aggrieved that her whole

body was trembling.

She had not imagined that the person she had trusted the most would betray her.

Even more so, she had not expected that, within the span of just a few days, her grandfather would

once again remove her from her position and reject all her hard work.

For so many days, she had worked so hard and given so much. But the result of her labor was in Qiu

Mu-Ying's hands now.

At that moment, Qiu Mu-Cheng felt that her life had been a huge failure.

She could not understand, could not figure out, just what had she done wrong?

Why had her grandfather made things difficult for her again and again?

Was it because she was not as good at flattery as Qiu Mu-Ying?

Was it because her husband was a powerless weakling from a poor family?

At this moment, Qiu Mu-Cheng's heart was filled with grievances.

As her eyes reddened with tears, she turned around and ran away.

She was not going to take this lying down. Never! She had to go look for her grandfather and get an

explanation for all this.
