Ch 107: Zhou Xiaofei And Song Xue’s Plan
Song Xue became nervous after listening to Zhou Xiaofei finish speaking.
She works in the Translation Department and of course knows how important the occasion two days from now is. If the negotiations go well, it’s very possible to directly draw closer the relations between the two countries and make progress in establishing diplomatic relations.
Foreigners place great importance on etiquette, including when eating Western food; the knife is a knife, the fork is a fork, and red wine must be served in a stemmed glass. This is their inherent elegance.
Let alone pulling it out in front of them, even letting out a fart would cause them to be disgusted to death.
Zhou Xiaofei’s move was really too ruthless.
Because of what she did, the target is not just Shen Mingyue, but also their workplace.
Such a serious problem arising in such an important meeting is a shame for China’s face.
Zhou Xiaofei, in order to get rid of Shen Mingyue, even disregarded her own second brother’s face. It was truly extremely crazy.
Seeing Song Xue not saying anything, Zhou Xiaofei became anxious. “Shen Mingyue is too bullying. If we don’t deal with her, she’ll be all over us. You don’t know, today my second brother actually scolded me for half a day because of some trivial matters. Since this woman came, haven’t you noticed that my second brother’s attitude towards us has gotten worse and worse? Before this woman, he was still kind to us.”
Song Xue thought carefully; it was indeed this reason. Although before Shen Mingyue came, Gu Yuanzhou wasn’t very enthusiastic towards her, at least he would smile and greet her every time they met, and Gu Yuanzhou would also treat her like a sister.
But ever since he got his marriage certificate with Shen Mingyue, he almost wants to cut ties with her. The most hateful thing is that he even cooperated with that bitch Shen Mingyue to anger her.
Her Older Brother Gu changed, led astray by Shen Mingyue.
But no matter how much Song Xue dislikes Shen Mingyue, she also has her own considerations in her heart. Private grudges are best resolved privately. In such an important occasion, Shen Mingyue losing face is a small matter; causing the nation to lose face is a big matter.
“But do you know how serious the consequences will be if you do this? Shen Mingyue will be disgraced, but our department will also be ashamed, and it might even affect Older Brother Gu’s career.”
Song Xue rarely spoke reasonably. Zhou Xiaofei hadn’t not considered these problems, but she couldn’t care anymore; she just wanted to get Shen Mingyue and the others to leave quickly.
The three of them, mother and daughters, have a poor and shabby air about them. As long as they stay in the Gu Family for a single day, she won’t have a single good day.
“Don’t pull this crap with me. It’s at this critical moment, and you’re still considering so much. My second brother, such an excellent talent, would he be affected in his career because of such a small matter? You underestimate him too much. Besides this opportunity, it won’t be so easy to bring her down again.”
Shen Mingyue is very shrewd and smart; besides this occasion where she can be greatly humiliated, finding another opportunity is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Song Xue’s heart was moved. Zhou Xiaofei was right. Gu Yuanzhou is a talent with an unlimited future. Shen Mingyue might become a stain in his career, but it definitely won’t hinder his promotion.
“Will you help or not? I know few people and can’t buy this medicine. You just need to provide me with the medication; as for the rest, I’ll handle it myself. It’s impossible for this matter to be blamed on you, so rest assured.”
Now Song Xue completely hesitated. To be able to bring down Shen Mingyue at once and give her a good beating is naturally satisfying.
But this matter also has risks.
Forget it, she can’t care so much anymore. Anyway, Zhou Xiaofei will be doing it, so even if things get out of hand later, it’s not her responsibility.
“Okay, I can get it for you tomorrow. I’ll give it to you then, but I’m telling you in advance that this matter has nothing to do with me. It’s your own idea.”
Zhou Xiaofei nodded. “I know, just rest assured. They won’t be able to investigate this matter later. There are many reasons for diarrhea. What if she was gluttonous and ate something she shouldn’t have?”
Then she would deny it to death, and who could pin this pot on her head?
Song Xue thought about it and felt it was reasonable, and the two reached an agreement.
After finishing, Zhou Xiaofei secretly slipped back to the Gu Family.
The next day, Song Xue, like a thief, found Zhou Xiaofei and stuffed a package of medicine into her hand.
“I heard that this medicine is very potent; it will take effect after two or three hours. You take care of it.”
Zhou Xiaofei was also excited, nodded at Song Xue, and turned to leave.
Shen Mingyue will still be teaching at school tomorrow and will only attend the meeting in the afternoon. Gu Yuanzhou will drive to pick her up in advance. At that time, she just needs to find a way to get Shen Mingyue to eat the medicine.
The two of them share an office. She has observed that Shen Mingyue has a special water cup for drinking water, and she has very good living habits and drinks water frequently.
Then she just needs to find a way to get her to leave and put the medicine into her water cup.
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. Shen Mingyue had made thorough preparations. For this meeting, she specially made a dress herself, not buying one from outside, but making it by hand with a sewing machine.
It was a light yellow qipao, simple and elegant in style, and it would be perfect with a pearl necklace.
Tian Shufang and the others saw the clothes she prepared and thought it wasn’t luxurious enough, thinking that for such an important occasion, it’s natural to dress more formally.
However, Shen Mingyue had her own ideas. She was only a supporting role; Gu Yuanzhou was the main character. If it weren’t for Prince William and his wife’s happy marriage and touching love, she wouldn’t have had the chance to attend.
Why dress so beautifully? Isn’t that going to steal the spotlight?
She was already charming and attractive. Dressing up even more would make not only herself uncomfortable but also the wives of the ambassadors and ministers.
Even those with higher positions than Gu Yuanzhou don’t flaunt themselves; why should she be the one who stands out?
After listening to Shen Mingyue’s explanation, Gu Jianjun praised her repeatedly.
“Mingyue thought this through. Don’t listen to your mother; you did the right thing. We Chinese people always value inner substance; we must be low-key.”
Tian Shufang also came to understand. Shen Mingyue was right; in this kind of occasion, one should consider the overall situation.
Zhou Xiaofei, watching from the side, wanted to grind her teeth to pieces.
Shen Mingyue drove to school, filled her water cup, and went into the classroom.
Zhou Xiaofei didn’t get the chance, but she wasn’t in a hurry. While Shen Mingyue went to the toilet during break, she slipped to her seat, opened the lid, and poured the medicine in.
Afraid that Shen Mingyue would notice, she also shook it deliberately.
After doing all this, a layer of sweat formed on her palms.
She hurried back to her seat and pretended to be nothing as she wrote her lesson plan.
After Shen Mingyue returned from the toilet, she didn’t drink the water; Zhou Xiaofei’s eyes were strained.
The bell rang, and Shen Mingyue took the water cup to another classroom.
After finishing class, she felt a little thirsty, and Shen Mingyue opened the lid, intending to drink the water.
When the cup was about to touch her lower lip, her brows wrinkled imperceptibly.
