I stood quietly outside the door.

I listened to the gossiping conversation between the two women in the tea room stop and pushed open the door.

Six eyes met.

Awkwardness filled the air.

I know this woman. She is a well-known loudmouth in the department.

Anything that happens to her will spread throughout the company in less than half a day.

The loud speaker glanced at me and unexpectedly took the initiative to attack. "Is there something wrong with you? Why are you eavesdropping on other people's conversations?"

"First of all, this is a public place. If you're chatting here, be prepared to be overheard."

I watched coldly as the two women's expressions changed.

"Secondly, as the person you're discussing, don't I have the right to listen?"

The loud speaker argued, "Okay, even if you heard it, what are you going to do now? Are you going to cause trouble for us?"

"I demand an apology from you."

"Why should I apologize to you?" Loudspeaker sneered, "Is any of what we said false?"

The woman next to her couldn't stop her. The loud speaker became more and more excited and assertive as she spoke, and her voice became louder and louder.

Before I knew it, I attracted a lot of colleagues.

She continued, "If you don't want people to talk about you, then don't do it. How many men have you been around since you joined the company? The new interns are always following you around, and even our company's top executives have become your team leaders out of nowhere. And that's not enough!"

"You're even trying to seduce the company's directors, and now you're not even letting our president go. You're so good, you can't even handle a bus."

She spoke a lot like a machine gun.

I said calmly, "Are you envious?"

The loud speaker instantly broke down. "Stop daydreaming. I envy you, but what do I envy you for? Do I envy you for flirting with men everywhere? I'm telling you, I despise you. We women should work hard to build our careers, not get entangled with men!"

"shameless!"

She spat bitterly.

I said coldly, "Do you have solid evidence for what you said? Otherwise, it's just a rumor, and I can sue you."

The loud speaker said disdainfully, "Everyone knows about the shit you did. We are all witnesses. I don't know who you are, but there's no need to scare me with this. I wasn't raised to be scared."

"Really? You're quite brave."

Maybe my reaction was too calm, which made her think that I was afraid of her.

She began to feel smug.

"I told you what to do. If you don't want others to talk about you, keep yourself clean and don't make people laugh at you!"

I slowly raised the corners of my mouth, but a voice sounded before me.

"Don't go too far, Big Trumpet!"

Cancan came over angrily, like a warrior full of fighting spirit.

Without saying a word, he stood in front of me.

"How did Sister Yanyan offend you? You're saying these nonsense and ruining her reputation. Sister Yanyan has always been very kind to her colleagues and even helped you with your work several times. You're being ungrateful by saying this now!"

"What does this have to do with you? Why are you so anxious to stand up and speak for her? She is your mother!"

Cancan was so angry that he reached out and pushed her hard.

"Talk about people instead of mom, you have no manners!"

"Who are you calling uncultured? You shameless thing!"

Da Loudspeaker raised his hand and slapped him back.

Cancan turned his face to the side after being hit, and he was a little confused. "Why did you hit me? My mother never hit me!"

"Who asked you to push me? You were the one who was trying to move first!" Loudspeaker shook his hand, and you felt a little numb in your palm.

"How shameless!"

Cancan's eyes were red with grievance. I pulled her hand down and saw the red marks on her face.

Cancan was born fair, and the red mark on her face was particularly obvious.

I took a deep breath, "Are you okay?"

Cancan pouted and shook his head.

No matter what, Cancan suffered an unprovoked disaster because he was speaking up for me, so I must not sit idly by.

When he met my gaze, Da Loudspeaker was very confident.

"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I'll slap you in the face too!"

I turned and left.

A triumphant roar came from a loud speaker behind me.

"See, this is a coward. No matter what you do in front of her, she doesn't dare to resist!"

I took a glass of water and walked back again, and poured the water directly on her face!

Big Trumpet Mouth was still talking when half of the water splashed into her mouth. She choked and her face was covered with water stains. She couldn't open her eyes.

"Oh, I'm going to kill you!"

She was wiping her face in a hurry, and when she looked up and saw me, she was about to rush over. I immediately raised my water glass.

Pretend to hit it.

"Try."

The loud speaker was frightened by me. His eyes were watery and he kept blinking. His face was distorted. "How dare you do this to me, you bitch, you shameless vixen! A bus with thousands of people riding on it and thousands of people sleeping on it!"

The sound was sharp and piercing.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and some muttered, "This is a bit too much..."

"It's not like that..."

"What do you know?" Loudspeaker had lost his mind and was firing indiscriminately. "It's because of your childish and superficial ideas that you can't get the person you like!"

The girl who spoke blushed immediately.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Do you think I don't know that you like Han Qi? Do you think you're pretending well? Everyone knows that you like him, but Han Qi doesn't like you!"

The girl's eyes gradually turned red, and her red face began to turn white.

"You, are talking nonsense!"

Loudspeaker sneered, "Look at the kind of people in our department!"

She pointed at me first.

"A vixen who flirts with men everywhere and only spreads her legs to beg for resources!"

He pointed at the girl again.

"A suitor who only knows how to secretly love someone and doesn't even dare to say a few words to her."

The girl was so angry that she cried.

No one would be able to bear it if such a secret was brought out and spoken in public.

I raised my phone and tapped the screen.

The loud speaker looked at me and said, "What's going on? Are you planning to complain to your mistresses? Why don't you give it a try? Everyone knows you have a strong backer anyway."

If I actually called any man today, it would confirm her accusations against me.

This is also the reason why she is fearless.

My finger tapped the phone screen again.

A recording plays.

That’s exactly what the loud speaker just said.

"Maybe the police won't bother with this little thing, but if I take this recording to the team leader, to the president... how do you think they'll deal with the person who spread the rumor?"

"Are you looking for them to support you?"

Da Loudspeaker's face turned pale, but he still pretended to be calm.

I clutched my phone tightly. "Company regulations, Article 15: To maintain a positive working atmosphere, employees are prohibited from insulting or assaulting each other. Violators will be fined, and those who fail to change after repeated warnings will be dismissed."
