To escape being sold for betrothal gifts, Song Mai chooses to have a flash marriage with a stranger, Chu Xing, on the same day. After getting their marriage certificate, she still doesn't know ...
When Bai Wan'er arrived at Yunxing Group to discuss the plan, she suddenly noticed that many people were staring at her.
From the moment I stepped into the building, countless probing eyes, filled with malice, stared intently at me.
This feeling made her very uncomfortable, and she subconsciously looked back.
Lin Ran hurried downstairs, a smile on her face, and looked at her: "The project team is already waiting for you in the conference room."
"Did anything happen at the company today?"
Bai Wan'er couldn't help but feel strange, and subconsciously frowned.
Lin Ran awkwardly turned her gaze away, seemingly unwilling to meet her eyes.
"No."
Her expression immediately made Bai Wanren feel that something must have happened, and he said in a low voice, "Since we are sincerely cooperating, don't hide it from me."
Her serious expression was very similar to Song Mai's, and Lin Ran was momentarily dazed.
She sighed heavily and said reluctantly, "Recently, a photo of you has been circulating in the company, a picture of you interacting with an elderly person. Now many people are speculating that your current success is because..."
Lin Ran couldn't bear to say what she was going to say next, and looked at Bai Wan'er with a troubled expression.
"My current achievements are all due to a close relationship with an older person." She said calmly, as if she were an outsider and not talking about herself.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that there are so many rumors going around, which is bound to disturb your mood." Lin Ran naturally took her hand and walked directly into the elevator.
"Su He and I both trust you. If there's anything we can do to help, we'll do our best."
Song Mai also went through something similar back then. She remained calm in the face of danger and quickly dealt with the negative information about herself.
Bai Wan'er is just as calm now, and you can always see Song Mai's shadow in her.
"We won't let this upset us."
Bai Wan'er straightened her back and walked into the conference room with an aura of confidence. She looked around and calmly sat down: "Since everyone is ready, let's begin immediately."
Although the other members of the group were very curious about her, they couldn't help but feel impressed by her dedication.
The fact that she could still concentrate on her work despite such an incident shows that her professional skills are truly remarkable.
Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but steal glances at her.
Throughout the entire meeting, everyone else present was completely detached from their work.
Bai Wan'er could naturally sense everyone's distraction, and her tone became more serious: "If everyone continues with this attitude, our project will not be able to move forward."
"Why should we listen to you?" one of the men asked, looking her up and down with a hint of disdain in his voice.
Bai Wan'er felt extremely uncomfortable under such scrutinizing gazes. She took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Since you don't believe me, you can leave this project team now. I never ask anyone to stay; after all, cooperation is a matter of mutual consent."
"What good things could a woman like you with such a dirty private life possibly design? The reason you're standing here now is probably because of how many men you've relied on to get to where you are."
The man became increasingly excited as he spoke, and his insolent remarks caused many of the women present to unconsciously frown.
The insult in his tone was almost palpable, and it was unbearable to hear.
"If this is your opinion of me, then I have no problem with it. After all, you and I are just strangers who met by chance. It is understandable that you would be prejudiced against me because of a photo."
Bai Wan'er paused, staring intently at the man.
"But if your prejudice against me deepens because of your prejudice against women, then I will naturally not let you off easily."
Upon hearing this, all the girls present instinctively looked at her.
Bai Wan'er exudes a unique charm that makes every girl subconsciously want to trust her.
Such a girl is not only outstanding, but also able to protect others; she is the kind of person every girl aspires to be.
Seeing that he had completely lost face, the man stammered, "Everyone has seen your photos. You were so intimate with that old man in broad daylight. Who knows what you two might do in private?"
"You start to imagine things based on just one photo. Your imagination is so rich. You must be no ordinary person."
After saying that, Bai Wan'er pretended to be surprised and added, "Sorry, I don't even know if you're human."
"you!"
Enraged, the man slammed his hand on the table and stood up, pointing angrily at Bai Wan'er.
"You shameless woman, do you know what you're saying?!"
After saying that, he rushed forward, ready to continue teaching Bai Wan'er a lesson.
"The reason I didn't say anything harsh just now was because I wanted to save you face. Now it seems I was overthinking it. A man like you who starts imagining lewd things based on just one picture doesn't even deserve to be called a human being. Since your mind is full of filth and disgust, you might as well go live in the sewers with rats; that would be a perfect match."
Bai Wan'er gave the man no chance to retaliate, coldly finishing her sentence.
Enraged, the man raised his hand, ready to strike.
Others at the scene stood up, worried that he might do something rude.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Bai Wan'er firmly grasped his wrist without breaking a sweat.
She looked at the man with disdain and said calmly, "You get angry so easily? I really despise you. I thought you had some other tricks up your sleeve, but it turns out you're nothing special."
She forcefully shook off the man's hand, causing him to stumble. She was incredulous.
"You're a woman, yet you're so strong."
"This is none of your business. My project doesn't need disgusting people like you." Bai Wan'er pointed to the door. "Get out."
"This is Yunxing Group. When did it become your place to arrange my whereabouts?" The man said smugly. "Do you know who I am? Do you know how good my relationship with Master Yun is? If he knew what happened today, he would definitely not let this go easily."
Hearing this, Lin Ran couldn't help but feel worried for her.
Bai Wan'er was personally invited by Master Yun, how could she be compared to a mere employee like him?
If Master Yun really comes, he won't let the man off easily.
Sure enough, the next second Chu Yunxing's voice came: "When did it become your place to point fingers here? Doesn't the world know what it's supposed to do?"
Everyone present instinctively turned to look.
