The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 319 Prelude to a Magnificent Performance

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"

November, Sinan Mansion, Gu Li’s home.

In the afternoon, as soon as Gu Li got home, she angrily threw her latest Hermès Verrou bag on the sofa. Gu Zhun, who was making tea, saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sulking, Gu Li leaned on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling, muttering, "I don't want to answer this question for now."

Gu Zhun had no choice but to turn his attention to Lin Xiao, who came back with his sister, his eyes full of inquiry.

Lin Xiao looked at her best friend on the sofa, with some hesitation in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she uttered a few words: "Because of Gong Ming."

"Don't mention that bastard's name in front of me. I feel physically nauseous when I hear these two words now!"

As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, Gu Li shouted excitedly and punched the air above her head a few times, which showed how bad her mood was.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to shut up and sit next to her best friend to help her massage her legs. Upon hearing this, Gu Zhun felt helpless but also found it not surprising. Isn't it normal that his sister would be so angry with his boss Gong Ming?

Anyway, my sister has suffered from the other party's hands more than once.

But at this time, Nan Xiang, who followed the two of them into the room, also heard what Gu Li said. For a moment, her expression looked a little strange. A year ago, she had the same attitude towards Jian Xi. The other party really made her feel sick.

However, a year later...I no longer feel nauseous, it's almost reaching my stomach.

"Okay Gu Li, it's normal to have an abnormal boss at work, don't get angry."

Nan Xiang sat down on the other side of Gu Li to comfort her, and then helped her massage her other leg.

Gu Li didn't say anything when she heard this. Lin Xiao nodded in agreement. She had always felt that Kitty and Gong Ming were not normal, but she soon realized something and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't Jian Xi normal in the company?"

"That's not the case. Jian Xi is quite normal. It's just that he is completely different in the company and outside the company. I am a little afraid of him when I see him in the company." Nan Xiang blinked and said to Lin Xiao with a guilty look.

Well, my boss is too serious when he treats me in the company, and I just fall for it. Now if something happens in the office again, my strip show has become a regular program. Every time I see my boss's serious expression at that time, I feel particularly excited...

Lin Xiao didn't know what her best friend was thinking at the moment, so she could only laugh dryly and said, "Really? I didn't know Jian Xi had this face!"

I have unlocked many tricks for your man!
Nan Xiang also laughed, her smile even brighter than that of her best friend.

Gu Li still kept looking at the ceiling, but he sighed deeply.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao and Nan Xiang retracted their smiles, looked at each other, and immediately reached a consensus.

Lin Xiao left the sofa and knelt on one knee next to Gu Li, raising his palms upward above his head as if holding up something. Nan Xiang then stood up and circled her index fingers and thumbs on Lin Xiao's palms, as if making a pancake. However, this was not a pancake. Nan Xiang carefully picked up the "crown", her movements were slow but her expression was serious.

Gu Zhun, who was standing by, was stunned by what they did and couldn't react to what it meant.

After being pushed by Lin Xiao, Gu Li immediately sat up straight when she saw this scene, so that Nan Xiang could put the "crown" on her head smoothly.

After the ceremony, Nan Xiang smiled and said, "Well, Queen, it's time to regain your confidence. Your people still need you!"

Gu Li enjoyed the sense of ceremony given by her besties. Even though she was still a little angry, she would not show it at this moment. So Gu Li nodded rather reservedly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."

Now Gu Zhun finally understood what they meant. He was so speechless that he almost laughed.

"By the way, where is Tang Wanru?"

At this time, Lin Xiao suddenly asked, their coronation process for Gu Li usually requires the participation of Tang Wanru. Today she was not there, so there was no one behind Queen Gu to help fan her when she was crowned.

The three of them returned home later, so they looked at Gu Zhun, who shrugged and said, "A hen."

The air was silent for a moment. After a slight hesitation, Lin Xiao spoke again, "By the way, do you feel that there is something wrong with Tang Wanru recently?"

"Need I say more? Something is wrong with Tang Wanru, it's already written on her face." Gu Li habitually picked up the "Current Monthly Scripture" on the coffee table and flipped through it, and continued, "Tang Wanru's appetite has even decreased. Isn't this enough to prove the problem?"

"Then...we..." Lin Xiao wanted to say something, but didn't say it in the end.

But Gu Li understood what she meant. He looked at the magazine in his hand and said calmly, "Tang Wanru can't keep secrets. I want to see how long she can hold it in this time."

Nan Xiang nodded in agreement and said, "And Wanru never told us. If we force her, it might backfire."

"That's right." Lin Xiao sighed, her tone suddenly dropped, but then she seemed to have thought of something and said mysteriously, "Do you think that this is because she confessed to Wei Hai and was rejected?"

When Nan Xiang heard the name Wei Hai, her eyes looked a little strange. The scene of the other party and Xi Cheng fighting in front of her was still vivid in her mind.

Since she knew that Wei Hai's real intention was towards her, then as Lin Xiao said, it was normal for Tang Wanru to be rejected by Wei Hai when she confessed her love to him.

So Nan Xiang said, "That makes sense. It seems that something was wrong when Wanru sat next to Wei Hai at Gu Li's birthday party."

"Yes, yes, Wanru neither behaved in a reserved manner nor pestered Wei Hai. Instead, she was fidgeting. This is totally inconsistent with her personality!"

Lin Xiao also echoed at this time, and the two of them talked back and forth, as if they had really figured out the reason why Tang Wanru had been behaving strangely recently.

Just when they had almost come to their conclusion, Lin Xiao turned to look at Gu Li and asked, "Gu Li, what do you think?"

"What can I think? Didn't you guys do a good job of analyzing it? I have other things to think about now." Gu Li put down the "Monthly Sutra", took out her mobile phone from her bag and looked at it, then a mysterious and confident smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Gu Li, what are you thinking about? You look like Tang Wanru after shaving her armpit hair." Lin Xiao, a professional saboteurer of Gu Li, said worriedly.

"..."

After being dismantled, Gu Li glared at her, then smiled and said, "I've figured out how to take Sheng Gu back!"

After the words fell, several people fell silent instantly. After a few seconds, Gu Zhun, who cared the most about this matter, asked: "Sister, what do you mean? You didn't have any solution for this year, how come you thought of it now? What solution?"

Lin Xiao said again: "Gu Li, we know that you have been losing your appetite because of this matter, but please don't get carried away!"

"..."

Gu Li glared at her again, then after a bit of awkwardness, he said softly, "Champagne should be served here."

"..."

After the three of them looked at each other, they had to disperse in silence and go to get wine and a glass for Gu Li.

After all the pretentious supplies were ready, Gu Li picked up the wine that Nan Xiang had poured for her and took a sip, then slowly spoke:

"Actually, I didn't think of this idea today. I've thought of it before, but there wasn't a suitable opportunity, so I just put it aside. But now, the opportunity has come." Having said this, Gu Li took another sip of wine in self-indulgent manner. However, her mysterious attitude made Lin and the others anxious, and they couldn't help but urge her, "Hey, Gu Li, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly."

Queen Gu glanced at her with contempt, as if to say, "Although you are my best friend, you are not my soulmate."

But she didn't drag it out any further and continued, "Ever since I felt that something might be wrong with ME, I've been thinking about investigating it financially, but unfortunately there has been no progress in the past year."

At this point, seeing the contempt in the eyes of several people including his brother, Gu Li coughed and explained: "Of course, this is not because I am incompetent, but because the enemy is too cunning. You don't know how difficult it is for me as a financial director. As for the investigation of "ME", there is an invisible resistance from top to bottom that prevents me from doing this."

At this point, Gu Li's tone began to get angry. She said bitterly, "Like today, my assistant was transferred to an overseas branch by Gong Ming in the name of 'expanding overseas markets'. When did ME have an overseas branch?"

"..."

Hearing this, several people looked at each other, and Lin Xiao suddenly realized: "So... you slammed the table in Gong Ming's office today because of this? What did he say?"

"He said that because there was no overseas branch yet, he transferred my assistant to help with the establishment, and the overseas branch is in Africa!" Gu Li became more and more angry as he spoke, and suddenly drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. "I specially recruited that assistant this year because I didn't trust the original group of people. Now, he has gone directly to the African grasslands to sell magazines to gorillas!"

"Gorillas live in the forest, there are no gorillas on the grassland..." Lin Xiao subconsciously said something sarcastic, but after seeing Gu Li's murderous look, he immediately changed his tone and said, "Well, at least Gong Ming didn't fire your assistant just because he stepped into the company with his left foot, hehe..."

"If he could really do such a thing, I would admire him. At least it shows that he doesn't even want to act anymore. Now he has found such a ridiculous and serious excuse, isn't it just to disgust me?"

Gu Li slammed her wine glass down on the coffee table. Now that she had opened her mouth to complain, she no longer hid it and continued, "Also, I wanted to see the company's financial data before, but when I entered the system, I found that it was a mirror account book. I had to apply for permission to see more data!"

"Have you applied?"

“I applied.”

"Has it passed?"

"pass."

"Isn't that enough?"

"Then there are so many levels of authority. How long do you think it will take for me to get permission if I apply for one?"

"..."

Gu Zhun, who took over the conversation, wisely shut up. Some answers were obvious.

Gu Li was still angry and said, "I won't say much about the things that Gong Ming personally did. Those guys under me are not easy to deal with. To say that they are hypocritical is to flatter them. They are simply holding me back, delaying progress, and accidentally deleting data... The worst thing is that there is a jerk who set the air conditioning temperature in the office to over 30 degrees for a week when I went out for lunch at noon, just to make the ink on the bills I collected fade. It was summer, and this guy almost dehydrated himself. When I asked him later, he refused to admit it. He said that he had a cold body since he was a child, and he had to put an electric blanket inside his quilt and bedding when he slept in winter... Why doesn't he just go to work in the crematorium? He must be able to sleep warmly there!"

"Pfft!"

Although Gu Li sounded so angry and mad, several people couldn't help laughing after listening to him.

After Gu Li said so much in one breath, her mouth was almost dry. When she just reached for the wine bottle, Lin Xiao quickly poured her a glass of wine in advance.

Gu Li took a sip before taking a breath and said, "Isn't it funny? I was so angry that I laughed myself, but this is what happened to me in ME this year."

Gu Zhun looked at his elder sister with pitiful eyes and said, "Sister, I didn't expect that you would encounter so many things. From now on, I will never despise you in my heart again."

Gu Li rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "You still dare to look down on me? If it were you, I'd make you want to commit suicide in no time."

Lin Xiao, who had finished laughing, asked in confusion: "Is there anyone like this in the company? Why do I usually feel fine?"

"You make coffee every day, can you feel bad?"

"..."

Workplace idiot Lin Xiao's face froze, and he finally shut up in frustration.

Then Nan Xiang thought for a moment and asked, "Gu Li, you just said there is a way, what do you mean?"

After he finished speaking, Gu Zhun looked at his elder sister with expectant eyes. After a year of devastation, what solution had his elder sister found?
After saying this, Gu Li's face showed a confident smile again. She stood up and walked to the side of the sofa, and the eyes of several people followed her.

Gu Li stopped and turned to look at her younger brother and girlfriends, and said word by word: "Since the company can't do anything, then we can go to Gong Ming's house and steal the account book."

“Steal the account book!!!”

The three of them exclaimed in unison, and the expressions on their faces were even more surprised than when they heard the fantastic things Gu Li had just said.

"That's right, I'm going to steal the account book. Gong Ming's family must have the real account book of ME. As long as I can get it, the secrets of ME will no longer be hidden from me!"

Gu Li's tone was firm and full of confidence, but Lin Xiao and the others had doubts on their faces.

"This... let's not talk about whether your behavior is illegal or not. The question is how can you steal it?" Lin Xiao asked first.

"Not ready yet."

"..."

Gu Li's straightforward answer left everyone speechless, as if it was just the same as saying nothing after talking for so long.

However, facing the speechless looks of the crowd, Gu Li laughed: "Don't worry, although I just thought of it at the last minute, I still have a rough plan, I just didn't have time to perfect it."

"Tell me more about it." Gu Zhun gestured to his elder sister.

Gu Li took a sip of wine and said confidently: "Normally, if you want to go to Gong Ming's house to steal the account book, it is definitely impossible, but——"

Gu Li paused here, and after fully mobilizing everyone's emotions, she slowly continued: "Next month, on Gong Ming's birthday, which is also the anniversary of ME, Gong Ming will definitely hold a birthday party at his house. By then, we can enter Gong Ming's house with good reason, and then - steal the account book!"

"..."

After Gu Li finished speaking, the living room fell into an eerie silence.

After a long while, Nan Xiang asked curiously, "Is this your plan? What happens after we get in? The account book must be well kept by Gong Ming. It won't be easy to find even if we go to his house."

"This is the detail I haven't completed yet." Gu Li spread his hands and said with a relaxed look, "We still have a month, which is enough time for us to plan well."

"and many more!"

At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly raised her hand to signal. Seeing Gu Li looking over, she showed an embarrassed expression on her face and said weakly: "What do you mean by 'we'?"

Gu Li laughed, leaned forward and spoke softly: "It takes a thousand days to raise an army but only a moment to deploy it. Sisters, I have a feeling that this will be a magnificent performance for us!"
