Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 55: Fixing Qiao Mina

Qiao Mina clicked her high heels towards the elevator.

She was determined to confront Gao Ziming and get some answers!

Tang En’en watched Qiao Mina’s unusual behavior, noting that right after Jiayi left, this "white lotus" followed suit—

Could it be that the "white lotus" harbored ill intentions towards Jiayi?

With a mix of wariness and curiosity, Tang En’en quietly followed behind Qiao Mina.

The secretary was conveniently out, so after Qiao Mina went upstairs, she easily knocked on Gao Ziming’s office door.

Tang En’en hid behind the office’s floor plant and perked up her ears to listen to the movement inside.

Inside the office.

Gao Ziming probably guessed the purpose of Qiao Mina’s visit, frowned, and spoke with a tone unlike his previous one, "What are you doing here during work hours, again?"

Qiao Mina locked the door and pulled down the blinds, then went over and hugged Gao Ziming’s neck, "A few days ago you sent Luo Jiayi to entertain Li Daguo, and that girl got off scot-free. Not only that, but you gave her a few days’ paid leave to rest. I asked you, but you didn’t say. As soon as she came in today, President Gu himself invited her up... What the hell is going on? You said you’d help me deal with that wretched girl! Instead of putting her in her place, it seems like she’s getting more and more cocky. In a few days, will she become my boss or what?"

She’s not your boss, she’s your top-level boss’s woman! Gao Ziming raged inwardly. Remembering the events of that night, still feeling the fright, he pushed Qiao Mina away and yelled, "Shut up! From now on, stop targeting Luo Jiayi! Don’t create problems for me for no reason!"

"What do you mean?" Qiao Mina was startled. Why had Gao Ziming suddenly begun to protect that girl?

She failed to notice the change in Gao Ziming’s expression and kept on whining, going over to hug the man again, "You damn ghost, you promised me. I’ve even been with you in the office, and you put me through all that, how can you not help me now—"

"Enough! Keep babbling, and I’ll be less than kind!" Gao Ziming, furious, slapped her across the face—a "smack" that left a red imprint of his hand on her snow-white cheek.

This woman had nearly gotten him fired from the company and ousted from the industry, and had also been beaten half to death!

The burns from the cigarette stubbed out on his arm hadn’t even faded yet!

"You hit me!?" Qiao Mina was shocked beyond belief; she had never been hit before, especially not by Gao Ziming, who was supplicant to her.

She had a sudden realization and glared at Gao Ziming, sneering, "Could it be that little wretch has taken you as her sugar daddy?"

Otherwise, why would Gao Ziming suddenly turn around and protect that wretched girl, and even slap her on behalf of that wretch?

Qiao Mina, who liked to seduce her superiors and schmooze with rich and handsome men, naturally assumed that other women did the same.

Yes!

Luo Jiayi must have seduced Gao Ziming too!

Gao Ziming wished he could gag the woman’s mouth shut, fearing that walls had ears and someone would overhear and report to the president.

That night, he had witnessed just how anxious the president was about that girl.

He had rushed to the Four Seasons Hotel, red-eyed with fury, and before Li Daguo could lay a finger on the girl, the president had cut off the partnership and it was rumored Li was hospitalized the next day!

He had almost been implicated himself!

Her recklessness couldn’t be allowed to ruin his future!

Thinking this, Gao Ziming’s eyes burned with anger as he covered her mouth, "Don’t talk nonsense! Samuel knows about this too, and you know he thinks highly of Luo Jiayi. He warned me not to let Jiayi entertain at dinner parties or take on external affairs anymore. Just drop the idea of going against that girl. If I see you bullying her again, I’ll be the first to fire you!"

He had been reminded by the president that night to keep the matter to himself and not speak of it to anyone. Thus, Gao Ziming couldn’t explain to Qiao Mina that Luo Jiayi was actually the president’s woman; he could only temporarily bring up Samuel.

Qiao Mina, her mouth and nose covered, was nearly suffocated and began to whimper—

It wasn’t until the woman’s breath failed her, her face flushing with the effort of gasping for air, that Gao Ziming finally released his grip, barking, "Get out!"

Qiao Mina, overwhelmed with panic, turned and ran out the door in dismay.

Outside the office, Tang En’en was both surprised and relieved, thankful that she had taken out her phone in time.

She had managed to capture photos of Qiao Mina coquettishly hugging Gao Ziming.

That night, when Gao Ziming asked Jiayi to work late, it was to accompany the infamous lecher Li Daguo to dinner, all incited by that wretched Qiao Mina!

The most critical bombshell was—

Gao Ziming and Qiao Mina were actually having an affair, and they had even done the deed in the office!

And to think Qiao Mina had the nerve to parade around the office like some innocent flower!

Tang En’en turned and pressed the elevator button, descended to the ground floor, and returned to the marketing department, where she saw that Jiayi had already come back.

"Jiayi, what did Director Gu have you do?" Tang En’en walked over.

As soon as she spoke, the eyes of all the colleagues in the marketing department turned toward Jiayi, filled with envy.

Samuel was still in Paris when he heard about the Four Seasons Hotel incident from Huo Zhenyang’s mouth and was quite shocked. Immediately upon his return to the country, the first thing he did upon reaching the office was to call Gao Ziming to his office for a scolding, and then he summoned Jiayi upstairs to ask her a few questions.

At this moment, Jiayi deflected, "It’s nothing, didn’t I just shoot a new product advertisement? Samuel just asked a few routine questions."

Tang En’en pulled her aside and whispered, "Don’t you regard me as your friend anymore? If you have trouble, don’t hide it from me!"

Jiayi was taken aback, only to hear Tang En’en continue, "That night you worked overtime, did Vice Director Gao ask you to accompany Li Daguo?"

Jiayi had no choice but to spill the beans, naturally omitting the part about Huo Zhenyang; looking at Tang En’en’s expression, Jiayi guessed she was unaware of it, otherwise, she would have already started making a fuss.

Only then did Tang En’en lean in and recount everything she had seen in Gao Ziming’s office, showing her the photos she had just sneakily snapped.

Jiayi was stunned; she had suspected why Vice Director Gao was targeting her without reason!

So it turned out, Qiao Mina was Gao Ziming’s secret lover, and her whispered sweet-nothings had set him against Jiayi!

"Can you believe it? Good thing nothing happened to you that night; otherwise, Qiao Mina’s actions would have caused some real harm!" Tang En’en fumed.

After a long silence, Jiayi’s long lashes fluttered, and the corners of her lips tilted slightly, "En’en, do you think we can find out Vice Director Gao’s wife’s mobile number?"

"Wouldn’t that be easy? The company has an employee contact book, with details of family members as well; I just need to ask HR’s Lily, and we’ll know right away." Tang En’en immediately responded, quickly grasping Jiayi’s intention.

—

Noon.

Qiao Mina, too upset to eat her lunch, had been sulking all morning with a dark expression. At that moment, a junior office assistant approached her, "Mina, Vice Director Gao wants you to go up to the top-floor meeting hall, right now."

The top-floor meeting hall?

It was rarely used, usually deserted.

Why was Gao Ziming suddenly requesting her presence there, especially after he had inexplicably lost his temper with her just a short time ago?

Could it be... he had regrets, wanted to apologize and reconcile?
