Chapter 160 Terrible Acting

She had never seen this person before, but his tone of voice was frighteningly arrogant.

However, there was no record of her appointment in the company's system.

If we rashly send people up there, we can't afford to take responsibility if problems arise.

They were caught in a dilemma: they had to stick to the rules, but they were also worried that he might really be an important guest of President Sheng.

Xu Xiaoting tugged at Song Zhiwei's sleeve and subconsciously took a half step back.

"Is this guy crazy? Why is he arguing with the receptionist? Sheng Tingzhou isn't some roadside vendor that anyone can just see whenever they want."

Chen Yun heard it all clearly.

She turned around abruptly, her gaze landing squarely on Song Zhiwei's face.

With just one glance, her expression changed, and her eyes turned cold.

"Song Zhiwei?"

Song Zhiwei's heart skipped a beat, and her steps faltered slightly.

I should have known better than to stand here and watch the show; now it's too late to hide.

She straightened up without making a sound, and calmly met Chen Yun's gaze.

Chen Yun rushed over, her high heels clicking on the floor.

She stood in front of Song Zhiwei.

I want to see Sheng Tingzhou.

She went to his apartment yesterday.

I waited from dusk until late at night, knocking on the door for half the night, but no one answered.

She made countless calls, but the other party's phone was always switched off or could not be reached.

Song Zhiwei didn't look up; her gaze remained fixed on the folder in her hand.

"If you want to see him, you can make an appointment. Company policy states that no one is allowed to enter the office area without an appointment."

Chen Yun crossed her arms and straightened her chest.

"Aren't you his assistant? Shouldn't you be the one handling this? Running errands and making calls is a piece of cake for you, isn't it? Don't you know what kind of relationship we have? You're deliberately blocking me from seeing him, are you scared? Afraid that I'll expose your past in front of him?"

Song Zhiwei didn't want to cause a commotion here.

With people coming and going in the lobby, the law firm's image and order must be maintained.

To be publicly humiliated like that, with someone pointing fingers at her, implies that she is guilty and afraid of trouble.

She turned slightly to the side, facing the small circle at the front desk.

"Xiao Yuan, call security."

Xiao Yuan was taken aback and immediately realized that the situation had escalated. She quickly nodded, turned around and ran towards the internal phone line, her steps hurried.

Chen Yun froze, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She actually dared to call security?

When did Song Zhiwei become so bold?

A surge of anger rushed to her head; she turned purple with rage and her breathing became rapid.

Without saying a word, he raised his hand to slap Song Zhiwei across the face.

Song Zhiwei stood still, not even blinking, staring straight at Chen Yun.

“Ms. Chen, this is not your living room, this is a law firm. If you lay a hand on me again, we will pursue legal action against you.”

“If you lay a hand on me, all the security cameras in the building are on, and there are tons of witnesses. I’ll sue you until you’re bankrupt and jail time isn’t enough.”

Her mother, Xie Lingling, is someone she can tolerate.

Can Chen Yun?

Who do you think you are?

The hand froze in mid-air, and Chen Yun gritted her teeth.

Her eyes were bloodshot, blazing with rage, as if she wanted to pounce on her and tear her apart.

Xu Xiaoting couldn't hold back any longer, so she took a step forward and raised her voice.

"Hey, lady, Zhiwei didn't do anything to you. Why are you taking it out on us working people? If you really know him well, go find him yourself! Why are you bullying people here? She's just a receptionist; she's probably only met President Sheng a few times. Is she worth you getting so worked up about?"

Chen Yun slowly lowered her hand.

She sneered, a mocking sneer playing on her lips.

"Who do you think you are? Song Zhiwei's pet dog? You dare to talk to me like that? You should take a look in the mirror and see how much you're worth."

She had barely finished speaking when a cold, accusatory voice boomed from behind her.

What are you making a scene about here?

Chen Yun was startled and subconsciously turned around, her neck stiffening for a moment.

The moment she saw that the person who came was Sheng Tingzhou, her heart tightened and her expression changed drastically, but she immediately suppressed her panic.

"Tingzhou, I really have something urgent to tell you."

She spoke rapidly, her tone aggrieved and anxious.

"Where are your company's receptionist and assistant's eyes? I've come back three times, but they still won't let me in. They won't answer my phone or reply to my WeChat messages. What am I supposed to do? I don't necessarily want to block this place, but I really... really have no other choice."

Sheng Tingzhou didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Aren't your eyes perfectly fine? If you can't see clearly, don't interfere. The hospital hasn't given you your discharge notice yet? Go back to your bed."

Chen Yun's face stiffened, all color drained from her face, and her lips trembled slightly.

"Tingzhou..."

Her voice trembled, and she tried her best to sound weak.

"Can we talk somewhere else? I really have something important to say! It concerns you, and it concerns me too... I don't want to argue here, but you won't even give me a chance to hear a word..."

She couldn't let him actually sue her.

Once the trial begins, regardless of the outcome, her life will be ruined.

His reputation, status, and connections all vanished into thin air.

Those unpleasant past experiences will be dug up.

She was no longer the glamorous socialite.

Instead, she's a crazy woman who gains attention through lies and framing.

Sheng Tingzhou pursed his lips and frowned slightly.

He didn't look at her, but slowly glanced at the two security guards standing not far away.

"Are you still standing there like a block of wood? Kick her out. If she comes again, don't bother asking, just call the police."

Two security guards immediately stepped forward.

One person grabbed her left arm, and the other held her right arm, giving her no room to resist.

Chen Yun had never been pulled like this before.

She was a pampered young lady, always chauffeured around, and no one dared to contradict her.

But now it's being dragged away like trash.

She completely lost control and screamed.

"Don't touch me! You dare touch me and see what happens? Do you know who I am?! My father is Chen Guodong! Even the Sheng family has to give me some face! This is illegal detention! I'm going to sue you! I'm going to kick you all out!"

She kicked and thrashed, and one of her high heels flew off.

But nobody cared.

The security guard looked at her as if she were a mentally unstable patient.

As soon as the person left, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Watching their departing figures, Song Zhiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Xiaoting curled her lip, her tone full of sarcasm.

"Just now he was acting like he was on the same level as President Sheng, speaking and acting so intimately and naturally, but the moment he turned around, he was dragged away by security guards like a piece of trash. His acting was so bad, who would believe it?"

Song Zhiwei was about to say something in her defense.

Before he could finish speaking, a deep, cold male voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Attorney Song, come to my office."

Her heart skipped a beat, and she froze for a moment.

I subconsciously looked up and my gaze met those unfathomable eyes.

Did he... figure something out?

Fortunately, Sheng Tingzhou didn't ask any more questions or say a word; he simply turned away calmly.

She quickly turned around and forced a slightly awkward smile at Xu Xiaoting.

"Xiaoting, I can't eat now. President Sheng suddenly summoned me, and I have to go to work overtime."

Xu Xiaoting reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

"Fine, forcing you to work in the middle of the day, President Sheng is truly heartless, showing no mercy whatsoever."

Song Zhiwei lowered her head, not daring to say anything more or to argue further, and could only nod slightly.
