"Why are you here?" He Ji asked first, looking at Shen Weiwei.

"What? Can't I come if there's nothing wrong?" Shen Wei raised her bright eyes and looked directly at He Ji. "You have good taste, He Ji."

"If I hadn't come to see you today, I'm afraid I would still be stuck in the mindset that you're a bachelor."

She laughed and said, "You hid it very well! Never mind, I won't disturb Mr. He's enjoyment today. I'll be going now."

Then she turned to look at Li Baobei and continued, "Sister-in-law, you have good taste."

Li Baobei quickly explained, "No, you've got it wrong."

Shen Wei smiled faintly, her tone playful: "I understand~ See you another time."

After saying that, he turned and left, getting into his car with a carefree air and driving away slowly.

“This…” Li Baobei stared at the departing car, unable to recover for a long time.

He Ji continued walking into the house, saying, "Let's eat first."

"..."

"How should I tell He Ji?" Li Baobei pondered to herself as she looked at the food on the table, occasionally glancing at He Ji.

"I'll have to say it sooner or later, I'll say it~"

Li Baobei looked up at He Ji and said, "He Ji, my foot is all better now. Thank you so much for your help recently. I'm about to go home, I can't..."

He Ji paused slightly in his movements and remained silent. Li Baobei felt the air was a little cold.

"Thank you so much for taking care of me lately." She didn't dare look at He You anymore and lowered her head.

"Let's eat first! I'll take you home later." He Ji said slowly, his tone neither cold nor indifferent.

Li Baobei was a little incoherent, and repeated again, "Thank you."

"No need." The air around them seemed to have cooled down a few degrees, and even on a hot day, Li Baobei couldn't help but shiver.

Li Baobei's life returned to normal, with going to work and coming home from get off work being her daily routine.

Because of her outstanding performance, she successfully became the group leader.

Just when she thought everything was going well, rumors started circulating about her within the company, and she had no idea what was going on.

She felt that her former colleagues, who had been so warm to her, had started to distance themselves from her.

Wednesday, 10:35 a.m.

Li Baobei came out of the bathroom and suddenly heard her own name being called; people were talking about her.

It seemed to be Wu Juan from the group. Li Baobei stopped and continued listening to the conversation between the two people by the water dispenser.

Xiaomei: "Ah~ are you serious? I thought she was really outstanding. I never expected..."

Wu Juan: "Heh~ She's just using her looks to climb the social ladder by relying on men."

Xiao Mei: "Not necessarily: Xiao Juan, Li Baobei is a top student who graduated from SS University!"

Wu Juan snorted coldly, her tone filled with disdain: "Who knows if it's fake or not? Sure enough, it's only those who are good-looking who can get ahead faster, isn't it?"

"Look at the two of us, we've been with the company for so long, and we haven't even gotten a team leader position yet, sigh~"

Xiaomei: "Xiaojuan, don't be discouraged. You're pretty too, just not as pretty as Li Baobei..."

Wu Juan's face instantly turned ugly, and she said sarcastically, "At least I'm all-natural, okay? Who knows which beauty salon that person had work done at?"

Xiaomei: "Forget it, no matter what, it's their skill. People like us can only take it one step at a time."

Wu Juan's tone softened as she echoed, "Who says otherwise? Sigh..."

"Let me see what kind of troublemaker is always slandering me all day long?" Li Baobei walked out of the bathroom with a cold smile on her face, staring directly into Wu Juan's eyes with hostility.

The two panicked instantly. Wu Juan broke out in a cold sweat and dared not look Li Baobei in the eye.

Li Baobei's tone was icy, "Spreading rumors is illegal. Should we go to the police station? I've already recorded it, Wu Juan~"

Xiao Mei, who was standing nearby, was terrified by what she saw and quickly said, "Team Leader Li, we didn't mean to, please don't make a big deal out of this."

"Oh~"

"You're not afraid of damaging my reputation by spreading rumors, so why are you afraid that I'll make a big fuss? It's ridiculous." Li Baobei's tone was icy cold.

No wonder everyone at the company seems to be avoiding me lately. I never imagined that something like Huang Yao would happen to me. It's simply intolerable.

Wu Juan slowly came to her senses, looking slightly guilty: "Why are you afraid of what others will say about what you did? I didn't wrong you at all!"

"Oh, really?"

"Hehe, Wu Juan, if you're not happy about me becoming the group leader, just say so to my face. Why are you putting on this show of being stabbed?"

Wu Juan seemed to have been stepped on and quickly retorted, "Li Baobei, don't make false accusations." Her eyes were filled with hatred.

"Funny, haven't you done enough slanderous things yourself? Why are you so agitated? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Li Baobei was equally unyielding, showing no mercy to this kind of despicable person.

Wu Juan was speechless after being choked by Li Baobei, and could only stare at her with wide eyes: "You..."

"Come out with me." Li Baobei stepped forward, took Wu Juan's hand, and led her to the office.

Colleagues outside had already heard the commotion inside and gathered around.

Seeing that the person had come out, he quickly ran back to his seat to continue watching the drama unfold.

"Let go of me." Wu Juan forcefully pulled her hand away from Li Baobei's grasp, and she was somewhat flustered at this moment.

Li Baobei spoke up, raising her voice: "Recently, there might be rumors circulating in the company about me, but I don't know who started them. I hope this ends here. If I hear such rumors again, we'll all be sitting in the police station!"
