Chapter 501 "Does an Apology Work?"
Chapter 501 "Does an Apology Work?"
Of course, she didn't know how much these bottles and jars were worth. Uncle Li heard the noise and ran over:
"Oh, my dear, how did you break it?"
Qiao Nian stood there in a daze. She knew it must be expensive, but she didn’t know the exact price.
"Uncle Li, what should we do?"
Uncle Li patted his thigh:
"How would I know what to do? This is a priceless treasure. Mr. Gu never lets anyone touch it. There are people specially assigned to take care of it. What are you doing with it?"
Qiao Nian didn't touch it, but accidentally...
"Uncle Li, think of a solution."
What can you think of?
Do you want to buy a fake one and hide it from the public?
"I can't protect you."
Uncle Li has disliked her for a long time and is eager for her to be punished. How can he control her now?
Even if he wanted to manage it, he might not have the ability to do so.
He knew that these things that Gu Jinyan treasured were also left by the old grandfather and could be considered heirlooms.
She didn't dare to touch it when the young lady and the young master were around, let alone she broke it.
Qiao Nian knew that he must have gotten into big trouble this time, and stood there with a pale face.
"Uncle Li, you can't just stand by and watch someone die."
As he spoke, Gu Jinyan walked in from outside:
"What are you doing?"
As soon as I came back, I heard a commotion here, as if something had happened.
As soon as I came in, I saw the broken pieces of cup on the ground, and I felt terrible.
Uncle Li took two steps back in fear, staring at Qiao Nian.
His purpose was very clear, which was to prevent him from being implicated by the trouble she caused.
Gu Jinyan roughly understood what happened and was furious:
"what happened?"
His voice was a little loud, the kind that could make objects around him vibrate.
Qiao Nian was so frightened that he trembled and said tremblingly:
“It’s me…”
"Did you do it?"
Before she finished speaking, Gu Jinyan looked as if he wanted to kill someone, with a murderous look in his eyes, as if he wanted to strangle her to death with his own hands.
Qiao Nian's eyes were a little red, but Gu Jinyan didn't buy it at all.
It’s not that I don’t want to eat it, it’s that I don’t eat hers.
He didn't care, not about the stupid woman in front of him.
What qualifications did she have for him to care about her? In fact, she was just a servant and had no value at all.
"Yes...I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I didn't mean it."
It seemed like she had said this too many times, and she had begged him to let her go like this before.
Gu Jinyan is like an awakened devil, no longer wanting to pretend to be a good person:
"Is your apology useful? Who do you think you are? Is a simple apology enough?"
Gu Jinwei was furious. The woman in front of him drove him crazy.
Qiao Nian did not promise to compensate him because she really had nothing, and even her pitiful salary was paid by him.
So what right does she have to explain and what right does she have to compensate?
Uncle Li kept his head down. It had been a long time since he saw Mr. Gu get so angry.
The last time was when my wife filed for divorce.
Qiao Nian didn't dare to shed tears. She looked both pitiful and hateful.
"roll."
The word "get out" completely extinguished all her thoughts about him.
Their relationship had begun to mend, at least it wasn't as hateful as before.
Now it seems that everything was just her wishful thinking.
Just like Gu Jinyan said, she is nothing.
Afterwards, Qiao Nian was transferred to another position to take care of the garden, water the flowers, apply fertilizers, etc., and his salary was cut in half.
Although it is a punishment, it is indeed a great thing for her.
Finally, she no longer has to face that dead face, and that pervert who finds fault with her every day.
Qiao Nian enjoyed it and insisted that she could leave when her one-year contract was up.
Some money is not earned by humans. She was also curious about how Aunt Rong had served him for more than twenty years?
Now, she can chat with the flowers and plants. This kind of job suits her.
Afterwards, Gu Jinwei did not ask her for compensation, but pretended not to see it and never met her again.
Angry?
Of course, this was left by Grandpa Gu Jinyan and is also a family heirloom of the Gu family.
I heard that a businessman encountered bandits and was almost killed, but it was Gu Jinyan’s grandfather who saved him. This is a generous gift as a reward.
At that time, Gu Jinyan’s grandfather did not know that these were things from the palace, and that the merchant was also a descendant of the royal family. It was only after many years that he found out.
So, his grandfather passed it to his father, and his father passed it to him.
The implication is also very good, which is to be magnanimous and kind to others.
But no matter how angry she was, Gu Jinyan couldn't do anything to her. Even if he killed her, she might not be able to afford the compensation.
So, forget it and just treat it as an experience of meeting the wrong person.
Qiao Nian was transferred outside to take care of the garden as a warning.
But after she left, someone would be needed to take care of him, and that person could only be found among these servants.
To be honest, there are not many people as considerate as Aunt Rong over the years.
Either stupid or slow, nothing goes as planned.
Uncle Li found a girl who looked quite clever. She had worked here for several years and could be considered an old hand.
"Xiaohong, you go."
Xiaohong is about 27 or 28 years old and still has no friends.
She seemed smart, but actually Gu Jinyan didn't want a smart one, and of course he didn't want a stupid one either.
He wants someone who is calculating and knows when to advance and retreat.
In the end, it’s just like Qiao Nian, speaking at the right time and shutting up when it’s time.
You can never guess what she is thinking, and it doesn't involve her privacy.
It's the kind of understanding that doesn't require you to understand everything, but even if you don't understand, you still have to understand it.
"Uncle Li, can I do it? I've changed so many people, I'm afraid I'll be scolded too."
Mr. Gu had a bad temper and the first few people were kicked out by him.
Now we can only try our best, there is no other way:
"If that doesn't work, I'll have to go find him outside."
Gu Jinyan is a typical difficult person to serve, but there is no way he is inhumane. He deserves to be rich.
Xiaohong gritted her teeth, feeling uncertain.
Even someone as good as Qiao Nian was forced to work as a gardener, not to mention that she was just a maid cleaning the first floor before.
How would she know Gu Jinyan's preferences? She had hardly any contact with him before.
Most of the time I would just stand by and watch him eat in the restaurant.
So, she was not mentally prepared at all.
When I first entered Mr. Gu's room, he was losing his temper:
"what is this?"
She looked in the corner, but there was nothing in it:
"Mr. Gu, I..."
"Get out."
Gu Jinyan's temperament changed drastically, as if he was possessed by something.
Xiaohong was so scared that she quickly hid away and went back to the dormitory and started crying.
When Qiao Nian came back to get something, she vaguely heard someone crying. She followed the direction and saw Xiaohong squatting in the corner.
"Sister Xiaohong, what's wrong with you?"
She didn't know what had happened, and now she was living a carefree life.
Xiaohong is a few years older than her, but she doesn't seem to be as mentally sound as her.
She looked at Qiao Nian and said with tears in her eyes:
"I was kicked out by Mr. Gu."
She choked up, and Qiao Nian understood a little.
