Fang Yanming noticed that Shi Junjie was insecure. He felt that he was not good enough for Gao Shengnan, so he did not dare to confess his feelings. It was no wonder that he was insecure. Gao Shengnan graduated from a prestigious university, owned a house and a car, earned millions a year, and was young and beautiful. She was superior to Shi Junjie in every way.

"If you like someone, be brave and go after her. Don't miss out, because good girls won't stand still and wait for you."

Fang Yanming stopped there and changed the subject, leaving it to this silly boy's abilities to see if he could succeed.

However, Fang Yanming did not expect that someone in the company would stir things up. The man who lost his car told him that he had seen Gao Shengnan at the police station.

For the past few days, rumors have been circulating in the company that Gao Shengnan was bullied by thugs and her innocence was in jeopardy. Moreover, there was more than one thug. The rumors were quite detailed and became increasingly outrageous. Some even said that Gao Shengnan had seduced a client, and the client's wife had hired thugs to retaliate against Gao Shengnan.

The rumors spread more and more wildly. Gao Shengnan was often accused of climbing the social ladder by sleeping around because of her outstanding performance. There was already a lot of gossip, but now it has become even more outrageous and the rumors are particularly excessive.

Gao Shengnan went back to work after only a few days of rest and did not go on any business trips. She dealt with some backlogged matters. Her colleagues did not dare to say anything in front of her, but as soon as they turned around, they pointed and whispered, not bothering to lower their voices, as if they wanted Gao Shengnan to hear them.

The gossip could be heard everywhere—in the restroom, the tea room, the office, the corridor… Although Gao Shengnan was already used to being criticized, she still felt very uncomfortable. She really didn’t understand why it was always other women who made things difficult for women.

Shi Junjie naturally heard it too. Male colleagues also love gossip, especially this kind of gossipy gossip. Some gossipy men are even more annoying than gossipy women, and they will use some very excessive and disgusting words.

"Gao Shengnan has suffered a huge loss this time. She let a hooligan play with her for a whole night. In the past, every time she slept with someone, she would get orders worth millions. This time, she didn't get a penny. No wonder she was so angry that she didn't go to work for several days."

"You can't say that. Maybe she's just in a bad mood. After all, women need to adjust their mindset when they encounter this kind of thing."

"Tch, other women would definitely need to be adjusted, but Gao Shengnan? The men she's slept with could form a platoon, and she's not picky. Otherwise, how could she have stolen away the big client I worked so hard to get back then?"

The man speaking sounded indignant. Shi Junjie recognized him as Lao Zhang from the same department. Lao Zhang had joined the company earlier than Gao Shengnan, but his performance was far inferior. He usually tried to please Gao Shengnan, but he never expected that Lao Zhang would be like this behind her back.

Shi Junjie suppressed his anger and didn't push the door open to go out. He was taking a dump and had heard everything the men outside were saying. They all believed that Gao Shengnan had been bullied and were all gloating. Bah! They were all so attentive to Gao Shengnan in front of her.

“You all should say less. Gao Shengnan is our colleague and a victim. No matter what she is like in the past, she was really bullied this time. Don’t add fuel to the fire.”

"Hmph, how do you know she was victimized? Maybe she was enjoying it. A woman like Gao Shengnan is naturally promiscuous; one or two men can't satisfy her." Old Zhang spoke with utter contempt, portraying Gao Shengnan as a woman who would sleep with anyone.

The others laughed and chimed in with a few words, though they were somewhat tactful, they didn't refute Old Zhang's words and clearly agreed with him.

Shi Junjie was furious and could no longer stand it. He slammed the door open, startling the men outside who stared at him in astonishment.
