After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

Manager Zhou didn't expect Su Li to dare to contradict him in public. He was immediately furious and pointed at Su Li's nose and cursed: "Who do you think you are? You are just a vase who got in through connections, and you dare to challenge me?!"

"Whether I am a vase or not is not up to you." Su Li met Manager Zhou's gaze without fear, "I will use my strength to prove that I am not anyone's appendage!"

After saying that, Su Li no longer paid attention to Manager Zhou and turned back to her seat.

Manager Zhou was furious, but helpless.

He knew that Su Li was Gu Jinyan's wife and he couldn't do anything to her.

He could only glare at Su Li fiercely, then left the office in shame.

Su Li returned to her seat and tried hard to calm her excitement.

She knew that what happened today was just the beginning, and there were still many people in the company who were prejudiced against her.

But she will not give up. She will use her own efforts to change everyone's opinion of her.

In the next few days, Su Li worked and studied harder.

She humbly asked for advice from her colleagues and completed every task conscientiously, and soon won the recognition and respect of her colleagues.

Manager Zhou targeted Su Li everywhere, assigned her the heaviest work, and often embarrassed her in public.

But Su Li endured it silently.

That day, Su Li finally completed the preliminary plan for the new project.

She confidently took the plan to Gu Jinyan's office, wanting to report her results to him.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Come in."

Su Li pushed the door open and saw Gu Jinyan sitting at his desk with a frown on his face, seemingly thinking about some difficult problem.

"Boss Gu, this is what I did..."

Before Su Li finished speaking, she was interrupted impatiently by Gu Jinyan: "I'm busy now, please put it aside for now."

Su Li was stunned for a moment, feeling a little disappointed.

But she still walked to the desk and gently placed the plan on the table.

"Then I'll go out first, you go ahead and do your work."

Su Li turned around and prepared to leave, but heard Gu Jinyan's cold voice coming from behind:

"Why, you can't wait for me to see your 'results'?"

Su Li paused, feeling a sense of bitterness rising in her heart.

These days she has been working overtime day and night, looking up information, asking colleagues for advice, and even revising the plan in her dreams, all in order to get his approval.

In his eyes, are my efforts just to show off in front of him?

"No, Mr. Gu, I just..." Su Li tried to explain, but was startled by Gu Jinyan's sudden standing up.

His tall figure loomed over her, his tone as cold as ice: "Su Li, I originally thought you would be different from them, but now it seems that I overestimated you."

"They?" Su Li looked up in confusion, but met a pair of bottomless eyes. There were emotions rolling in there that she couldn't understand, but there was not a trace of warmth.

"Get out!" Gu Jinyan didn't give her any chance to explain. He just slammed the documents in his hand heavily on the table, his tone full of undisguised disgust.

Su Li's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

She didn't understand why Gu Jinyan's attitude towards her had changed so much in just a few days.

Is it just because she comes from the Su family, so no matter what she does, she has ulterior motives in his eyes?

She took a deep breath, suppressed the grievance and sadness in her heart, turned around and walked out of the office.

The next day, at the company's regular meeting.

Gu Jinyan sat at the head seat at the conference table, his sharp eyes sweeping over everyone present, finally stopping on Su Li.

"I've looked at the new project plan and found a lot of problems." He spoke in a stern tone, without mentioning anyone by name, but everyone knew who he was talking about.

Su Li looked up suddenly and her face turned pale in an instant.

"Some people," Gu Jinyan sneered, his tone full of sarcasm, "relying on their cleverness, they don't do their job properly and think about taking shortcuts all day long. I tell you, it won't work with me!"

Every word he said was like a sharp knife, stabbing Su Li mercilessly and leaving her nowhere to hide.

The conference room was completely silent. Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

Manager Zhou sat aside with a gloating smile on his face.

He had long disliked Su Li. How could an adopted daughter be worthy of being on equal footing with them?

"Su Li, tell me, how did you come up with the proposal you submitted?" Gu Jinyan's voice sounded again, icy cold.

Su Li took a deep breath and tried to control her trembling voice: "Boss Gu, this plan I..."

"What, you have nothing to say?" Gu Jinyan interrupted her impatiently before she could finish, "Su Li, I'll say it one last time, don't try to challenge my bottom line!"

Su Li bit her lips tightly, her eyes were red, but she stubbornly refused to shed tears.

She wanted to explain, but when she saw Gu Jinyan's cold eyes, all her explanations became pale and powerless.

"Mr. Gu, did you misunderstand something?" Secretary Lin couldn't help but speak. She had been with Gu Jinyan for many years, but this was the first time she saw him being so ruthless to a woman.

"Misunderstanding?" Gu Jinyan sneered and threw a document in front of Su Li. "Take a look for yourself. Is this what you call achievement?"

The documents were scattered on the ground. Su Li recognized them at a glance. They were the market research data that she had worked on for several nights. However, they were torn up and maliciously altered into a mess, which was shocking.

"This..." Su Li widened her eyes in disbelief and wanted to explain, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Gu Jinyan.

"What? Still want to quibble?" His tone was icy, without a trace of warmth. "Su Li, I really misjudged you. I thought you were different from other women. I didn't expect that you would resort to such despicable means to achieve your goal!"

"I didn't!" Su Li's heart seemed to be torn apart, and it hurt so much that she could hardly breathe.

She never thought that in Gu Jinyan's eyes, she would be such a person.

"You still dare to say no?" Gu Jinyan stood up suddenly, his tall figure looming over her like a shadow, "Don't you know what you did?"

He had never spoken to her in this tone before. His cold eyes and disgusted tone were like sharp knives, stabbing her heart hard.

Su Li opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but when she saw Gu Jinyan's cold eyes, all the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"I……"

"That's enough!" Gu Jinyan interrupted her impatiently, "Su Li, I'll say it one last time, don't challenge my bottom line!"

After saying that, he didn't even look at Su Li anymore, turned around and strode out of the meeting room.
