Gu Qiaoqiao’s voice crisply broke the silence, “Deputy Director Gu, please wait.”
Gu Yajing stopped, asking unhappily, “What for?”
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the woman before her. Could this be a member of Gu Cheng’s family?
She couldn’t be sure, but regardless of who it was, no one had the right to withhold an author’s manuscript.
It wasn’t a matter of good or bad.
“I would like to ask, Deputy Director Gu, have you read this manuscript?”
Gu Yajing was startled, then, irate, retorted, “Is that any of your business?”
“Of course, it is my business. This book was written by my father, who spent a great deal of effort on it. I assume Deputy Director Gu took this manuscript for no other purpose than to read it, is that not so?”
“You…” Gu Yajing was somewhat embarrassed and very much wanted to curse out loud, but considering this was Director Yu’s office, she suppressed her rage, “I am very busy, I don’t have time to talk to you…”
Having said that, she hurriedly walked towards the door.
Behind her came Gu Qiaoqiao’s words, “Deputy Director Gu, my father’s manuscript has been in your hands for seventeen days. I hope you can give me an explanation for this.”
Gu Yajing stopped in her tracks, a cold smile on her lips, she said arrogantly, “Do you even know who I am?”
“Who are you?” Gu Qiaoqiao suppressed her heartbeat, calmly pressing on.
“You’re not qualified to know yet.”
“Heh…” Gu Qiaoqiao laughed derisively, what an arrogant woman, “Even if you are the favored daughter of heaven, I still require a reasonable explanation for this matter, otherwise, I will not let it go.”
Gu Yajing’s face darkened, she glared viciously at Gu Qiaoqiao, “You have no idea how high the sky is, or how deep the earth is, huh…”
After a cold snort, she hurried away.
Only then did Gu Qiaoqiao turn to look at Director Yu and realized that he was intently reading the book written by her father.
No wonder there was no reaction from the old man while she had been verbally sparring with Deputy Director Gu earlier on.
Gu Qiaoqiao settled back down in her seat.
Picking up a magazine lying nearby, she began to read leisurely.
Half an hour later, perhaps as the plot reached a calmer transition, Director Yu reluctantly set the manuscript aside.
And then, he noticed Gu Qiaoqiao, who was leisurely enjoying her magazine.
Luckily, this child showed up.
They had almost missed out on a great book at the publishing house.
It almost didn’t need editing and could be serialized directly. He believed it would definitely be loved by readers.
Just like he did.
Once the young lady left, he intended to brew a cup of clear tea, then close his office and properly enjoy the forthcoming plot.
Director Yu knew, a good book was a good book, and that was without mentioning the connection with the Luo Family.
“This book is written excellently. Your father’s writing is good, and his cultural foundation is profound, worthy of being a middle school Chinese teacher. It doesn’t need any editing; we will start serializing it next month.”
“That’s fantastic,” Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes brightened with joy, “Then I thank you on behalf of my father.”
“I will discuss the subsequent matters with your father personally.”
Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a moment, “Director Yu, I hope you can give me an account concerning Deputy Director Gu’s actions. You’ve read the book, and your assessment matches my thoughts. So, what was Deputy Director Gu’s purpose in withholding the manuscript?”
“That…” How would he know?
“Moreover, it was specifically my father’s manuscript that was requested, which seems highly targeted. I hope you handle this matter appropriately, otherwise, I will take the book away. I believe gold will shine wherever it goes.” Gu Qiaoqiao threatened lightly.
“Don’t worry, Miss Gu. Your father’s book is indeed a good one; there’s no doubting that. About Deputy Director Gu’s actions, I will definitely investigate thoroughly, please rest assured.”
“Director Yu, this is not a minor issue. This is abuse of power. If a deputy director at the magazine can arbitrarily suppress manuscripts from all over the country, then who will dare to submit their work to the magazine in the future?”
Sweat began to appear on Director Yu’s face.
He picked up the handkerchief and wiped away, cursing Gu Yajing in his heart, the type who was great at messing things up but not at getting them done, who, riding on her family’s connections, had landed the position of a deputy director at such a young age.
She was quite arrogant here.
Usually, there were not many conflicts of interest, so everyone turned a blind eye, but not today.
Gu Qiaoqiao wasn’t going to let things go.
After all, anyone would be upset if the article they had worked so hard on was inexplicably suppressed.
This matter must be dealt with seriously.
Besides, it was also an opportunity to knock down Gu Yajing’s arrogance a peg or two.
Thinking this, Director Yu nodded eagerly, his expression grave, “Don’t worry, I will definitely give your father a satisfactory explanation.”
“Good, I’ll await your news,” Gu Qiaoqiao stood up, “Then I won’t disturb you any further. Once it’s dealt with, just inform Luo Fan of the outcome.”
Using someone’s influence like wrapping oneself in their banner, she could do it too.
Moreover, she knew it would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Why were Ning Wanru and Gu Chengzhi so arrogant if not for their wealth and power?
If they were just ordinary small traders on East Gate Street, they wouldn’t have had the ability to cause so much trouble.
At the end of the day, it was because they had the capability.
After Gu Qiaoqiao said her piece, she switched tones unexpectedly, smiling sincerely once again as she thanked Director Yu.
Only then did she leave the magazine office.

At the entrance, she ran into Gu Yajing, who was on her way out. That woman glared fiercely at Gu Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s sharp gaze met hers, her dark eyes seemingly carrying a chilling dread.
It made Gu Yajing’s heart thump several times over.
By the time she regained her senses, Gu Qiaoqiao had already leisurely walked towards the bus stop.
Gu Yajing glared fiercely once more at Gu Qiaoqiao’s retreating figure, proudly walking towards her own car.
Hmph, she still had to squeeze onto the bus when going out, yet she was so arrogant. She thought she was the Golden Phoenix of some family but turned out to be nothing but a common sparrow.
She drove away.
Gu Qiaoqiao took the bus home.
By the time she got home, it was already four in the afternoon.
She also bought some vegetables from the nearby market on the way.
It wasn’t until she arrived at the Qin Family’s courtyard that she realized there was a motorcycle parked at the entrance.
It was black, with sleek and smooth lines, apparently a very famous brand from abroad.
It belonged to Chu Chengfeng.
Had he come?
Gu Qiaoqiao quickened her pace and entered the yard.
Sure enough, from afar, she could hear Grandma Qin’s laughter.
Chu Chengfeng and Qin Yize had grown up together and often visited the Qin household, naturally making him very familiar with the Qin family members.
Gu Qiaoqiao entered the house.
After greeting Chu Chengfeng, she picked up the vegetables and headed to the kitchen where Grandma Qin cheerfully said, “Chengfeng, have dinner at our place tonight.”
“Sure, sister-in-law’s cooking is awesome. I had it once over the New Year and I’ve been thinking about it ever since,” Chu Chengfeng replied happily, nodding his head.
