TTPAC [QT] Chapter 4.3

It was no wonder, seeing Shen Shutong up close, everyone found her even more stunning than in photos!

Who doesn’t like to look at beautiful women?

They had no grudges against each other in normal times, but now they were trying to pick on her. How petty! 

Not to mention gossiping in front of her.

Shutong went to the Human Resources Department, which was on the 17th floor, but the Human Resources Department told her to get the signatures of the Planning Department and Mr. Qu first.

Shutong didn’t care what they were thinking. After returning to the department, she took the elevator straight to the top floor.

The entire secretariat was bustling with activity. 

Chen Zhuo, just as he was emerging from Qu Yiming’s office, stopped when he saw Shutong approaching.

Shen Shutong had always been a nice vase. If she had a fresh and energetic look yesterday, then today she was completely reborn.

Chen Zhuo was simply curious about what she’d been through in the past two days.

Marriage changes? 

Mr. Qu’s excitement?

“Special Assistant Chen.” Shen Shutong called out symbolically.

“Can I go in and see Mr. Qu?”

“Come in.” Chen Zhuo nodded, pushing the office door open for her.

Shutong nodded and walked in, leaving behind a light but refreshing scent of orange blossom.

Chen Zhuo was in a trance. He glanced at Qu Yiming, whose handsome face was gloomy, sitting in front of the desk. 

He felt complicated. She had stepped on Mr. Qu’s sore spot, so she couldn’t expect to get away with it.

“Mr. Qu, please sign it.” 

Shutong placed a document on the desk and pushed it in front of Qu Yiming.

“Shen Shutong, are you seducing me just for the money?” 

Qu Yiming rested his elbows on the table, not even reading the document.

“Mr. Qu, please don’t talk nonsense. I have always wanted to be a designer, but I couldn’t adapt to the Planning Department, so I asked to resign.” Shutong replied.

“You confessed your feelings to me, gave me gifts, and even dined with me. Isn’t that seduction?” Qu Yiming glared at her, his lips curled coldly. 

If he’d only suspected it yesterday, today he was certain Shen Shutong had no interest in him!

All her previous contrived behavior was just an act! 

She pretended to like him and wanted to divorce her husband for him, but in fact, she was just treating him as a tool!

“Mr. Qu, I was just returning the favor.” 

Shutong forced a smile and then looked toward the silver ball ornament. 

“Also, I want to apologize for my rudeness yesterday. You and Miss Gu are a perfect match, and I just wanted to help you resolve your conflict.”

Qu Yiming’s expression became a little fierce. Very good, she even discovered the camera.

So, don’t try to get any more information out of her today.

“You are using me to provoke your husband to divorce you, right?” 

Qu Yiming felt that this was the only possibility!

“…I don’t understand what you mean.” 

Shutong didn’t care where he came to this conclusion. She kept smiling and politely cursed ‘rubbish’ in her heart.

What kind of mean-spirited behavior did the hero, a big CEO, resort to? 

What else was he trying to get out of her?

“Very good.” 

This was the first time in his life that Qu Yiming was used like this. How could he not feel aggrieved?

But he didn’t explode. He stared at her face, as if he saw her clearly for the first time. She was smiling, but it was so fake.

How come he hadn’t noticed it before?

After a while, he grabbed a pen and signed casually.

“Okay, you can go.”

He didn’t even force her to delete the video.

After all, he knew that if she wanted to keep the video, he wouldn’t be able to delete it completely.

Shutong saw the meaningful curve at the corner of his lips and turned to walk out.

Just as she was wondering if the other party would be so cruel as to kill her to silence her witness, she heard—

[Destiny modification progress 3%!]

Huh?

When Shutong walked out of the office building, Ji Chu, on the other side, received a call.

Ji Chu knew Qu Yiming and had heard countless words of praise for him from Shutong. The moment he answered the phone, his whole heart seemed to have thousands of vines spreading out, with blood-red claws on the top, trying to destroy something.

“Ji Chu, right? I’m Qu Yiming.” 

Qu Yiming stood in front of the French window, looking down at the ant-like figure below, and continued, “You and Shen Shutong haven’t finalized the divorce yet, right? I have evidence of her infidelity. Do you need it?”

There was a moment of silence over there before Ji Chu’s low voice came, “What do you mean?”

“I’ll have my assistant send you the information. Also, let me clarify, I have nothing to do with her. She just asked me to cooperate with her to force you to divorce.”

There was no sound from the other end. He seemed to be a very cold person.

After Qu Yiming hung up the phone, he asked Chen Zhuo to send something to Ji Chu.

However, after calming down, Qu Yiming felt that his previous behavior was unnecessary and childish.

She was just a vase, completely insignificant, yet he still invested his time and energy in her! 

With his abilities, it would only take a flick of his finger to prevent her from ever entering the fashion world or even becoming a designer.

He looked at Chen Zhuo, and in a daze, he ordered, “Don’t mention anything about Shen Shutong again.”

Chen Zhuo nodded.

He had never mentioned it before.

According to Mr. Qu, when Mr. Qu was using Shen Shutong, he was also used by her.

So, Mr. Qu had just contacted Ji Chu so that Shen Shutong would get nothing in the event of a divorce.

Chen Zhuo could already foresee how miserable Shen Shutong would be in the near future. She would have no hope of finding a job, and she would get nothing when she divorced.
