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

Chapter 37: Trouble Comes Knocking

When they arrived in the city, Gu Ziy carried Lele off the bus. This time, she didn't intend to visit the Gu family. The Gu family had become strangers to her. Her main purpose in coming to the city was to deal with her work as a radio broadcaster.

As she walked into the building of the radio station, heading towards the office of her supervisor, she heard an annoyed voice behind her.

"Gu Ziy?"

Hearing her name, Gu Ziy turned her head instinctively.

The girl who called her had short hair and was wearing a blue business suit. She looked energetic.

When the young woman saw Gu Ziy, she raised an eyebrow and appraised her from head to toe. Her eyes were filled with disdain. "Gu Ziy, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you've had enough of the Lin family in the countryside and you've come running to try to reenter the Gu family's doors?

"Or is it that life in the countryside is too tough for you, and you can't handle it anymore?"

Gu Ziy squinted her eyes slightly. She found this young woman somewhat familiar and, after a moment of thought, it hit her.

This young woman was Gong Xin, the younger sister of Gong Zhan, the original host's fiancé.

The original host and Gong Xin were about the same age, but they had always had a rocky relationship, constantly arguing and fighting since childhood.

Gong Xin was the daughter of a high-ranking official in the military district, but both her looks and academic achievements were not as impressive as the original host's.

Gong Xin also had a volatile temper, which made her dislike the original host even more.

She couldn't have imagined that the original host would eventually marry her brother, which deepened their conflict.

In order to marry her military officer fiancé, the original host dropped out of school to work as a broadcaster. Coincidentally, she ended up competing with Gong Xin.

Gong Xin wasn't in a hurry to get married; she simply hated studying, so she took advantage of her father's inattention and applied for the radio broadcaster position herself.

Since there were very few openings for radio broadcasters, the two of them became competitors.

The original host was selected as a radio host, but Gong Xin didn't make the cut. However, the organization offered Gong Xin a logistics role, with the possibility of becoming a radio host in the future.

Gong Xin stayed in the city for work, but every time she saw the original host hosting a radio show, she couldn't help but feel a sense of discomfort.

When Gong Xin discovered that Gu Ziy was actually a country girl, her sense of superiority surged once again. She thought that Gu Ziy was no longer a threat and was eager to see how Gu Ziy was faring in the countryside.

To see the person she hated standing in front of her right now, it could be said she was being polite by not raising her hand at Gu Zi.

Gu Ziy glanced at Gong Xin and then turned to walk towards her supervisor's office.

"Gu Ziy, where are you going? I haven't finished speaking!" Gong Xin hurriedly walked up to Gu Ziy and blocked her path. She frowned and said, "Is there something wrong with your ears now? I was talking to you, but it seems like you can't hear me."

Gu Ziy looked at the shorter girl in front of her with an expressionless face.

Gong Xin hated her short stature the most. She always felt that others looked down on her because of her height. So, she placed her hand on her hip and tried to boost her own confidence.

Despite being the daughter of a high-ranking official, she couldn't stand the fact that someone better than her had appeared in the military district compound.

It was infuriating.

"Why should I have to answer your questions?" Gu Ziy asked coldly.

Hearing Gu Ziy's response, Gong Xin's expression froze for a moment. She immediately raised her chin and put on an arrogant demeanor. "You are no longer part of this organization. This is my workplace, and you are a stranger. I have every right to inquire."

Gu Ziy furrowed her brows slightly, carefully recalling the original host's situation. It seemed that the original host had only arranged for someone to cover her shifts and hadn't officially resigned.

Moreover, without her personally written resignation letter, why would the organization claim that she had quit?

Gu Ziy's gaze focused on Gong Xin's face as she calmly replied, "There were some recent complications, and I had someone cover my shifts for a few days. I didn't resign."

Gong Xin's expression froze, and she straightened her posture, looking at Gu Ziy with surprise. "That's not right. Lin Miao came to the organization, saying that you handed over your work to her!"

Gong Xin had her own pride. Although she was annoyed that Gu Ziy was more attractive and academically superior, she couldn't deny Gu Ziy's competence.

But Lin Miao was a different story!

Lin Miao had come to the organization, claiming that Gu Ziy had transferred her responsibilities to Lin Miao.

Due to this, Gong Xin had to assist Lin Miao with various tasks daily. Gu Ziy had never treated her this way when she was still around.

What was even more infuriating was Lin Miao's non-standard Mandarin, which was quite unpleasant to listen to!
