How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 117 Can’t afford it

The weekend passed quickly and Monday came in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Wen arrived at the company early and sat in the lobby waiting for Gu Chunyan's arrival. His mind was now full of the image of her being labeled "I am a good-for-nothing", which must be very appropriate.

As the working hours get closer, more and more employees come in from outside.

Zhang Wen's eyes were like high-definition cameras, tracking Gu Chunyan's figure in the crowd.

"Teacher Xiao Zhang?"

After Xu Qingyu walked into the company gate and saw Zhang Wen sitting in the waiting area, he immediately walked over quickly with a bright smile on his face.

"Good morning, Director." Zhang Wen quickly stood up and greeted him after seeing him.

"Teacher Xiao Zhang, congratulations on your great victory in World War II." Xu Qingyu said with a smile.

In less than a month after Tang Yi was first introduced, she has become a hot new singer and now has work lined up for three months later.

He joined the team to participate in the "Super Trainee" selection competition for the second time. Not only did all five of the people he recommended pass the competition, they also achieved excellent results in the competition, adding color to Tianxi Media.

Which employee can achieve such brilliant results in less than two months after joining the company?

No!

"I have to thank you for your trust and support, Director. If it weren't for your perseverance, how could I have achieved such results?" Zhang Wen said modestly.

It's not that he doesn't want to be proud, but now is not the time.

It's just a trial competition, not the final competition. No matter how good the results are, it will not bring anything to the individual or the company. If Zhao Tong and others can rank in the top 9 in the final competition and become members of the group, he will definitely be very proud and let the whole department know about his results.

When Xu Qingyu heard this, he laughed even more happily, secretly admiring himself for having good vision and not misjudging the person.

"By the way, what are you doing here? Waiting for someone?"

"Yes, Director. I'm waiting for Teacher Gu Chunyan."

"Why are you waiting for her?" Xu Qingyu frowned slightly. When he heard the name, his mood immediately turned bad.

She was originally very dissatisfied with Gu Chunyan's behavior of taking advantage of her seniority and repeatedly opposing her. When she heard that she had spread dirty rumors about her and Teacher Xiao Zhang in the film and television town, the little affection she had left for Gu Chunyan disappeared without a trace.

Now that the trials are over, she doesn't need to continue to be patient for the sake of the overall situation.

Fired, people like this must be fired.

Otherwise, what prestige will she have in the company in the future?

"Director, Teacher Gu and I made a bet. The loser would have to work for a week with the label of 'I'm a glutton' on his shoulders. In the end, she lost," Zhang Wen explained.

Xu Qingyu remembered that Assistant Wang had indeed told him about this.

"Don't wait, Teacher Gu won't be coming today."

"Huh? Why?"

"Didn't she faint at the audition site of 'Super Trainee' last Saturday? She is still in the hospital and asked me for a week's leave." Xu Qingyu explained.

"What?" Zhang Wen frowned, his heart filled with disappointment.

He has been waiting here for half an hour, and now he is told that Teacher Gu is on leave for a week and can't come. Isn't this just a waste of his time?
Wait, is Teacher Gu trying to cheat?
No, we must not let the other party get away with it.

"Director, I think that as Mr. Gu is the backbone of the training department, we should organize our employees to visit him. I'll sign up." Zhang Wen said.

Xu Qingyu was stunned.

visit?

What's the point of visiting that kind of person?
She was about to ask why, but after seeing the suspicion and unwillingness in Teacher Zhang's eyes, and thinking about the bet mentioned earlier, she instantly understood what the other party meant.

This is to suspect that Gu Chunyan is faking illness.

That’s right, of course I have to find a reason to avoid such an embarrassing thing.

If the purpose is to cause trouble for Gu Chunyan, this visit can be arranged.

"can!"

Xu Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. Find a few more people, including me, and we'll go at noon. However, Teacher Gu is ill, so the number of visitors shouldn't be too large. Four or five will be enough."

"Okay, Director. I'll make sure the task is completed."

Zhang Wen returned to the training department and first found Jiang Yijing. She used to be a die-hard fan of Teacher Gu, so how could he miss a visit?
"Good morning, Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Yijing was stunned for a moment when she saw the young man standing in front of her, then she said, "Good morning, Teacher Zhang."

"Teacher Jiang, did you know that Teacher Gu is sick?" Zhang Wen asked.

"Ah? Sick? I didn't know." Jiang Yijing was surprised at first, then shook her head.

"It's like this. Teacher Gu is also a veteran employee of our training department. The director is planning to organize a visit to the hospital this afternoon. Teacher Jiang, are you free?"

"..."

Jiang Yijing's brows twitched slightly. Recently, her relationship with Teacher Gu had gradually become distant. In order to avoid embarrassment, she even had to avoid each other after get off work.

To be honest, she really didn't want to go to the hospital to visit, but she had been asked in person, and it was Director Xu who organized it, so how could she refuse?
No!

So, she nodded, forced a smile and said, "I'll go if I have time."

"Okay, let's meet at Director Xu's office at noon." Zhang Wen said and left quickly.

Jiang Yijing looked at the newcomer's back, a bitter smile unconsciously appeared on her face, and she began to think about what she should say when she saw Teacher Gu.

Zhang Wen’s second stop was the practice room, where he found Cao Qing who was taking vocal lessons.

The teacher in charge of the class was Sun Chengcheng, so she easily allowed Cao Qing to leave the classroom.

"Teacher Zhang, what's going on?" Cao Qing asked, puzzled, after closing the door. "Teacher Gu fainted last Saturday. You saw her there. The director is organizing a visit to the hospital this afternoon. You were once her favorite student. Do you have time?"

"Have!"

Cao Qing answered immediately without thinking.

She wanted to go when Teacher Gu fainted on Saturday, but the ambulance didn't allow so many people to get on, so she had to stay where she was.

She also wanted to go yesterday, but was worried about disturbing Teacher Gu's rest, so she gave up in the end.

Now the department is organizing people to visit Teacher Gu, so of course she has to go.

Zhang Wen glanced at the girl in front of him calmly, then said, "Meet at Director Xu's office at noon. Don't be late."

"Don't worry, Teacher Zhang, I won't be late." Cao Qing said seriously.

Zhang Wen nodded, said nothing more, turned around and left to report to Director Xu.
……

noon.

As soon as lunch break came, Zhang Wen immediately went to Director Xu's office.

Not long after, Jiang Yijing and Cao Qing appeared one after another.

When Xu Qingyu saw that everyone was gathered, he immediately waved his hand and headed to the hospital.

The hospital is not far from Tianxi Media, only a 20-minute drive away.

Xu Qingyu represented the entire training department, Jiang Yijing prepared a bouquet of flowers, Cao Qing prepared a fruit basket, and Zhang Wen prepared a few words of concern.

A group of people came to the hospital.

As soon as I pushed the door and walked into the ward, I saw Gu Chunyan sitting by the bed eating roujiamo. Her mouth was wide open, but she hadn't had time to take a bite.

The middle-aged man standing next to Gu Chunyan was holding a bowl of cold noodles in his hand. The aroma of chili oil mixed with the aroma of braised meat filled the entire ward.

When Gu Chunyan saw the person walking in from outside, she was completely stunned. She opened her teeth but didn't bite for a long time.

"Teacher Gu, Director Xu is here to see you." Zhang Wen reminded.

Gu Chunyan came to her senses at this moment and quickly stuffed the roujiamo into her husband's hands. Then she stood up from the bed and said in a panic, "Director Xu, why are you here?"

"Aren't you sick? I'm here to see you on behalf of the company and the training department." Xu Qingyu said with a smile, "Teacher Gu, please sit down. We're not strangers, so there's no need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Director Xu." Gu Chunyan sat down, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down.

Jiang Yijing stepped forward, handed over the flowers in her hand, and said with a forced smile, "Teacher Gu, I wish you a speedy recovery."

"Thank you." Gu Chunyan took the flowers.

Cao Qing couldn't wait to put the fruit basket on the bedside and asked with concern, "Teacher Gu, are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, much better." Gu Chunyan regretted saying that. Why did she say it so lightly? So she added, "The doctor said I'm weak and need to rest more and keep my emotions stable, so I have to stay here for a few more days."

"Teacher Gu, you must get better soon." Cao Qing said with red eyes.

"Yes, Teacher Gu." Zhang Wen said, "Everyone misses you very much. It feels like something is missing if we don't see you for a day."

The corners of Gu Chunyan's mouth twitched unconsciously. There was nothing wrong with this sentence coming from Cao Qing's mouth, but when it came from this person's mouth, she had ten thousand reasons to believe that the other party was waiting to see her make a fool of herself when she returned to the company.

In fact, her condition was not serious and she could go home to rest, but in order to avoid letting her go back to work, it was decided to keep her in the hospital for a few more days.

If it looks a little heavier, no one will urge you to do it.

In fact, after waking up, she thought a lot. She had offended Director Xu and lost to this newcomer in the selection competition. She was too embarrassed to go back to the company.

"Teacher Gu, take good care of yourself. Everyone is waiting for you to come back." Xu Qingyu said.

"Thank you."

The more Gu Chunyan listened, the more uncomfortable she felt. She simply stopped pretending and took out a piece of paper from her bag. "Director Xu, this is my resignation letter. Please approve it."

"what?"

Xu Qingyu was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit surprised and a bit happy. She thought the other party was sensible, but she showed a look of concern on her face and asked, "Teacher Gu, why?"

Jiang Yijing and Cao Qing were also shocked. They never thought that Teacher Gu would resign on his own initiative.

"Ugh!"

Gu Chunyan sighed and said, "It's nothing, actually. I just want to take this opportunity to rest for a while, recuperate, and spend more time with my family."

Of course, these are just superficial. In reality, she would rather resign than return to the company and be embarrassed by being labeled as a "good-for-nothing".

"Teacher Gu!" Zhang Wen suddenly stepped forward and said seriously, "You're still so young, at the prime of your career. How can you just quit like that?"

Gu Chunyan clenched her fists. The other party said she was old a few days ago, and today he said she was young. Isn’t it obvious that he just wanted to see her make a fool of herself?

They even bullied me all the way to the hospital. It’s so abominable.

"The future belongs to you young people..."

"I think you can do it. Why don't you try it for a week first? If you really can't hold on, you can resign. We young people can't do without you to lead the way." Zhang Wen said.

Gu Chunyan's forehead veins bulged, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to try."

"Teacher Gu, you can't afford to lose, right?" Zhang Wen revealed his cards.

"How could this be? I'm really not feeling well. Oops, I feel dizzy again. I'll lie down for a while. Husband, you stay with Director Xu and the others." After saying this, Gu Chunyan lay on the bed, leaving her back to everyone.
