Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon-Chapter 39

Faker

Among this year’s rookie broadcasters, Sister Chen valued Gu Zi the most. Not only was Gu Zi good-looking, her Mandarin was impeccable, her voice was gentle, and she was also hardworking.

She was such a good seedling, yet she gave the job to a newbie who knew nothing. She had to keep an eye on that idiot Lin Miao every day, and not a single day went well for her.

Therefore, when Sister Chen saw Gu Zi, her expression turned even more sour.

Gu Zi also noticed Lin Miao’s fearful expression. She calmly retracted her gaze and looked at Sister Chen from the side. She carried Lele and walked to Sister Chen. Her voice was gentle and tactful. “Sister Chen, I’ve settled my personal matters, so I’ve come back to work.”

Hearing Gu Zi’s words, Lin Miao’s face turned even paler. Her body was on the verge of collapse.

When Sister Chen heard Gu Zi’s words, the gloominess on her face gradually dissipated. Her eyes were filled with confusion. She looked at Lin Miao and then at Gu Zi and asked, “Didn’t you already appoint Lin Miao to take over your job?”

Upon hearing Sister Chen’s question, Lin Miao, as if grasping at the last straw, quickly said, “Sister Gu Zi, didn’t you return to the countryside? Since you couldn’t work as a radio broadcaster anymore, my parents had no choice but to send me here to replace you.”

Lin Miao directly shifted the responsibility of filial piety onto Gu Zi.

Gong Xin, who had been growing increasingly resentful of Lin Miao, sneered at her words. “Lin Miao, what nonsense are you spouting? Gu Zi has only been back in the countryside for two days, while you’ve been working here for half a month.”

When Sister Chen heard Gong Xin’s words, she glared daggers at Lin Miao.

Gu Zi looked at Lin Miao indifferently. In the novel, the original owner went to the countryside in a daze and was immersed in the fact that her life was going to be ruined by an old man with three children. She did not think about work at all.

If she hadn’t accidentally chatted with Su Shen last night and thought about work, the job would have stayed comfortably in Lin Miao’s hands.

Gu Zi retracted her thoughts and said calmly, “Please don’t call me sister. We’re not related by blood.”

She paused for a moment and continued, “This job is for the capable. Due to personal matters at home, I had someone fill in for me temporarily. Sister Chen, I already discussed this with you remember? I’d asked Yu-jie to stand in for me.”

Sister Chen nodded in agreement when she heard Gu Zi’s words.

Lin Miao had originally thought that becoming a radio host at the station would earn her some respect from her fiancé’s family, the Gong family. But she hadn’t expected Gu Zi to return.

She absolutely couldn’t let the Gong family know that she had secretly replaced Gu Zi. If they found out, they would surely look down on her.

Thinking this, Lin Miao hastily said, “Sister Gu Zi, my parents would be delighted if they knew you were back in town. They even said they’d like to have dinner together. Let’s go back together now!”

Gu Zi heard Lin Miao’s words and couldn’t help but chuckle, her gaze even colder.

This female lead was just too annoying. She easily pinned the blame of being unfilial on her without any hesitation. She was like a moral manipulator, pretending to be virtuous and righteous, all the while having a deceitful heart.

“I’ve said it before, we have no blood relation. If you call me ‘sister’ again, don’t blame me for being impolite,” Gu Zi didn’t want any connection with Lin Miao. Her eyes turned even colder. “Furthermore, I got this job through a nationwide audition. It has nothing to do with my parents.”

She adjusted Lele in her arms with one hand and continued with an icy tone, “You don’t need to bring my parents into this. If you want to be a radio host, start from the nationwide auditions, go through each level of selection, and earn the position yourself. Don’t… all I know is that I worked hard for this job, and I haven’t transferred it to anyone.”

Seeing Lin Miao nearly collapsing, Gu Zi showed no sympathy. She shifted her gaze to Sister Chen and calmly said, “Sister Chen, I’m a responsible person. Before this, I just had someone temporarily fill in for me. Even if I wanted to transfer the job, I’d find someone with a similar level of competence, not someone who knows nothing.”

When Sister Chen heard Gu Zi say this, the expression on her face became much gentler.

She had not been in contact with Gu Zi for a long time, but she knew Gu Zi’s personality very well, so she nodded in agreement.

Gu Zi continued to say, “Sister Chen, if I remember correctly, even if it’s a transfer of work, it still requires the signature of the person who is transferring the work. But I haven’t signed it. Why would the organization give my work to someone else without my consent? Could this be a new policy?”
