Chapter 192 - Fired! 3

Chapter 192: Fired! 3

Chu Cimo wore a gray suit. His face, which shared a resemblance with Chu Cichen, was filled with the radiance of sunshine.

The worst turmoil the Chu Corporation had been through this time around was caused by Chu Cimo beating up someone to their death. Therefore, everyone knew about his relationship with Bai Shanshan very well.

Everyone knew that Chu Cimo had gone to the victim’s house to beat him up over a fat celebrity… As a result, everyone discussed this fat celebrity a lot during this period.

Therefore, the moment Chu Cimo appeared, everyone turned to look behind him in unison. Everyone wanted to see the female celebrity’s appearance.

Everyone had secretly searched for the fat celebrity’s photos and videos in private.

This brought [Masked Singers] a wave of views, and it benefited Shen Qianhui a lot.

People tended to appear 10 kilograms fatter when they were on screen. Hence, even if Bai Shanshan had slimmed down back then, she’d still appear fat on television.

However, she was fair and tender, so no one detested her for being fat.

Even so, an overweight woman really had nothing to do with the word ‘beautiful’, so everyone looked at her with a mocking attitude, wanting to watch a show.

However!

They only saw a slightly plump girl in a white dress walking out from behind Chu Cimo with a shy expression.

The girl had fair skin, and her palm-sized small face was slightly chubby. From afar, her pair of almond eyes appeared extremely docile and quiet. Her shy look didn’t make her appear unpresentable, but instead gave others an impulse to treat her tenderly.

Shen Ruojing was also astonished when she saw Bai Shanshan.

Bai Shanshan reported her weight to Shen Ruojing daily, and she had slimmed down to 60 kilograms recently. However, Shen Ruojing didn’t expect Bai Shanshan’s condition to be so good.

She had clearly gone to exercise. Her long and slender figure made her look like she was around 50 kilograms although she was around 60 kilograms. Moreover, her chest was still well-embodied despite her waist having gotten a lot slimmer. Although she was still far from being slim, her figure was well-balanced.

Her face was chubby, but she clearly looked like she was meant for the screens!

Having slimmed down, Bai Shanshan looked as innocent as a piece of white paper. Her unaggressive beauty gave most of the people present—men and women alike—a feeling of wanting to protect her.

Matriarch Chu’s eyes widened in surprise.

Bai Shanshan wasn’t this slim when she came over the other time… It had only been a few days since then, but why had she undergone such a huge change?!

Next to Matriarch Chu, Chu Cichen’s second aunt gasped. “Who is this? It’s not that female celebrity, right? Did Cimo change his partner again?”

Matriarch Chu said proudly, “This is Miss Bai. The reason she was fat in the past was because she was ill. Now that she has recovered, she’ll naturally slowly slim down!”

However, Xiao Na could tell the identity of Bai Shanshan through her features.

It was a coincidence that both of them wore white gowns, but Bai Shanshan clearly looked better between the two. Seeing this, Xiao Na was so angry that her eyes turned red. She glared at Chu Cichen’s second aunt and then covered her face before running out of the back door, crying.

“…” Chu Cichen’s second aunt said angrily, “Eldest Sister-in-law, even though she has slimmed down, she is still not presentable. She doesn’t have a good family background and can’t win against my niece! That aside, this will also be her second marriage! Won’t you find that embarrassing when you tell others about it? You should put more thought into this!”

After saying that, she went to chase after her niece.

Matriarch Chu didn’t care about what Chu Cichen’s second aunt said. She went up to Chu Cimo and glared at him before looking at the shy Bai Shanshan, saying, “Aren’t you worried that she might hurt her body if she slims down so fast?”

Chu Cimo. “??”

Why was he always the one to get hurt?!

–

Chu Cimo and Bai Shanshan’s appearance brought another wave of commotion to the VIP room upstairs.

Chu Cichen and a few other upper-echelons from the company were in the room, and they could see the first floor through the big floor-to-ceiling windows. The few shareholders in the room were all those on Chu Cichen’s side.

Chu Xu was Chu Cichen’s second granduncle. He had introduced many beneficial policies in the company over the years and even Matriarch Chu held great respect for him.

He never rejected the idea of turning their core business into the pharmaceutical industry and always showed his support.

At this moment, he saw Chu Cimo and Bai Shanshan through the glass window and let out a snort. His gaze then landed on Shen Ruojing, and he furrowed his brows tightly.

Chu Xu looked at Chu Cichen and asked, “Why didn’t you get Miss Shen to come and meet us? She’s going to be the future mistress of the Chu Family.”

Chu Cichen lowered his gaze.

He naturally understood the reason why Shen Ruojing didn’t come to meet them. It was because their status as fiancé and fiancée wouldn’t change. It was impossible for them to get married.

Therefore, Shen Ruojing was very tactful and walked away.

However, he mustn’t say this.

Just as he was contemplating how he should move away from this topic, Fang Panxia, who was pouring tea for a few other members of the high management, spoke up, “Miss Shen might not have met so many people before and appeared to be a little reserved earlier. Therefore, she went to look for Matriarch Chu.”

The moment Fang Panxia said this, Chu Xu’s brows furrowed tightly again.

Chu Xu tensed his chin and thought about it for a very long time. Then, he couldn’t help but say to Chu Cichen, “Cimo won’t inherit the company, so it doesn’t matter who he wants to marry. Cichen, you’re different. Miss Shen comes from a small family, and she will have to get involved with many such situations in the future. You should educate her well.”

Chu Cichen glanced at Fang Panxia and then said in a calm tone, “Second Granduncle, she doesn’t come from a simple small family.”

Outsiders might not know it, but the people in this room knew that the heat dispersal pills were made from Shen Ruojing’s prescription.

Chu Xu’s dissatisfaction toward Shen Ruojing immediately dissipated.

Fang Panxia took a step forward and filled up Chu Xu’s teacup. While smiling, she said, “Director Xu, we have to thank you and everyone here who put effort and helped the Chu Corporation tide through this crisis. Bro Chen and I will remember this well! I had long heard that you’re decisive and have a sharp judgment. It’s hugely because of you that the Chu Corporation could become the greatest influential business in Sea City. I’ll toast to you with tea in place of alcohol!”

After saying that, Fang Panxia finished the tea in her hand.

She then smiled at the others. “I’ll go out for a while.”

After she left, Chu Xu couldn’t help but look at Chu Cichen. “Look at Miss Fang. She’s also a researcher, but she’s so tactful. You should get Miss Shen to learn more from her. The mistress of the Chu Family must be someone like her, dignified and presentable.”

Chu Cichen glanced at Chu Xu. “It is because all of her thoughts are on things like this that she can’t come up with the heat dispersal pills.”

Chu Xu was rendered speechless. “…”

At this moment, Chu Cichen’s phone rang. He took a look and saw that it was a message from Lu Cheng. He was saying that Charles had arrived.

Therefore, Chu Cichen stood up. “Second Granduncle, everyone, please have a seat here first. I’ll come back in a while.”

He tidied his suit and when he went out, he saw Fang Panxia standing not far away. After Fang Panxia saw him, she walked over and said, “Bro Chen, my senior sent me a message earlier saying that Teacher has arrived. Let’s go and welcome him.”

After saying that, she wanted to hook her arm around Chu Cichen’s.

However, Chu Cichen took a step forward and dodged her action. Just as Fang Panxia was about to go after him, she heard the man’s icy-cold voice. “No need. You’re fired.”

The moment Chu Cichen said this, Fang Panxia was stunned.

She was fired? Why? How could that be possible?!

She bit her lips and followed after Chu Cichen. “Bro Chen, I know that you were disappointed that I didn’t complete my mission. I was in the wrong. Can you give me another chance?”

Chu Cichen paused in his footsteps and looked at her. “I did.”

(You were the one who didn’t hold onto it.)

Tears instantly welled up in Fang Panxia’s eyes. She stopped pretending and said outright, “But if my teacher finds out that you fired me, he’ll be angry. Why not ask him for his opinion?”
