Xing Yixin felt that the way people in the company were looking at her lately was strange.

As Xing Yixin stepped out of the elevator, she ran into two colleagues she knew. After greeting them, Xing Yixin prepared to return to her seat.

But Xing Yixin felt that their gazes just now were strange, so she slowed down.

"No way, I don't think she's that kind of person."

"What do you mean it's impossible? They even called the company."

"Oh? She's so pretty, I was thinking of making friends with her before."

"Don't associate with that kind of person, tsk tsk tsk..."

Xing Yixin didn't hear the rest of the message before the elevator doors closed.

Xing Yixin slung her bag over her shoulder and walked towards her desk.

Xing Yixin is not talkative, so she doesn't have any close friends at the company.

The only female colleague sitting next to Xing Yixin was Ding Jiaxin, with whom Xing Yixin was closest.

But she could tell today that people around her were glancing at her from time to time.

Xing Yixin focused her attention on her work. She had just received a task to design a new plan, which was crucial for her promotion.

"If the moon hasn't risen yet..."

Xing Yixin's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of her phone, and she picked up the phone to look at the screen.

166××××1774

It has no name, only a string of numbers.

Xing Yixin answered the phone.

Hello.

"Hello, this is Mrs. Zhangqiu..."

The person on the other end of the line wasn't very friendly, and in the unusually quiet office, Xing Yixin's voice on the phone was amplified infinitely.

Everyone in the office secretly focused their attention on Xing Yixin's phone.

It was as if they were trying to find something out through the phone, because the Zhangqiu mentioned by the woman on the phone was their department head.

Xing Yixin is the person Zhang Qiu dislikes the most in this department.

However, there are recent rumors that Xing Yixin was able to get into this company and achieve her current success because she slept with Zhang Qiu.

Zhang Qiu's usual act of disliking her was just a performance by the two of them to avoid arousing suspicion.

Does the fact that Mrs. Zhangqiu is calling now really prove that the rumor is true?

Since ancient times, the most interesting drama has always been the one where the protagonist fights the mistress, and everyone is secretly watching.

Xing Yixin is beautiful, and she attracted a lot of attention on her first day at the company.

Many men have privately confessed their feelings to Xing Yixin, but she has rejected them all.

Some people enjoy seeing these usually aloof people fall from grace, to see what right they have to pretend to be innocent.

Xing Yixin listened expressionlessly as the person on the phone finished recounting the events, hurling insults and profanities.

After the voice on the other end of the phone gradually subsided, Xing Yixin spoke up: "Please wait a moment."

Xing Yixin didn't get angry, resentful, or lash out when she was insulted; her calmness was astonishing to those around her.

What kind of mental fortitude is that?!

Even after the person in question called, he remained calm and didn't even offer an apology.

Is she just too thick-skinned, or is there no one left in this world she cares about, making her fearless?

Xing Yixin hung up the phone and walked to Zhang Qiu's desk.

She walked steadily, without the burden of having her previous work rejected, and then taking her newly completed work to her supervisor, only to have it rejected again.

Xing Yixin found the name she hated most in her WeChat contacts and made a voice call.

Zhang Qiu looked at Xing Yixin walking towards him. Her fat, greasy face was covered with large pores that could be clearly seen from more than a meter away.

Zhang Qiu's malicious gaze slid from Xing Yixin's legs, which were completely covered by suit pants, to her slender waist, which could not be concealed even though she was wearing a loose shirt.

Looking up at that exceptionally handsome face, the person in front of you is the best-looking person in the office.

But she was so ungrateful; he took the initiative to be nice to her, and this woman actually dared to reject him.

From that moment on, Zhangqiu was determined to make this woman pay the price.

Xing Yixin naturally saw the look in Zhang Qiu's eyes. For the first time, she thought, "He's just a scumbag, what's there to be afraid of?"

It's just a job. If it falls through, just find another one. As long as you can support yourself, that's fine.

Why worry so much about whether he's your boss or not, or whether you should maintain a good relationship with your colleague...

Xing Yixin looked at the phone Zhang Qiu had placed on the table. The WeChat caller ID showed "Xing Yixin (1)".

Zhang Qiu followed Xing Yixin's gaze to his phone, looking somewhat flustered, as if some truth was about to be discovered.

Xing Yixin hung up the phone, a call that was destined to go unanswered.

He dialed the number without a contact name and walked towards his desk.

"My contact name on Zhangqiu's phone is Xing Yixin, followed by a parenthesis 1..."

The colleagues looked at each other, they understood.

The person who cheated on Zhangqiu may not be Xing Yixin, but someone else entirely.

They overheard what Mrs. Zhangqiu said: she discovered a contact named Xing Yixin in Zhangqiu's WeChat contacts.

His words were ambiguous; it was obvious that Zhang Qiu had cheated on his wife, and with someone from their company no less.

Now that they have witnessed Xing Yixin making the phone call, it proves that the person was not Xing Yixin, but someone whose name was saved by Zhang Qiu.

So who is it?

She's from their company, and they really dislike Xing Yixin...

...

In the tea room.

Before long, the news spread throughout the company.

Almost everyone knows that Zhang Qiu cheated on his wife, but the other woman wasn't Xing Yixin.

But the contact name he actually cheated with was Xing Yixin.

"Yixin, who exactly hates you so much that they saved their name as yours on Zhangqiu's phone?" Xiao Li, who works in the same department as Xing Yixin, asked.

Xing Yixin looked at the coffee in her cup, her fingers unconsciously stroking the rim of the cup.

Upon hearing Xiao Li's words, Xing Yixin raised her head, revealing her signature polite smile, and gently shook her head to indicate that she did not know.

Looking at Xing Yixin's expression, Xiao Li felt a surge of anger.

She's just too soft-hearted, which is why she's so easily manipulated.

Anyone with eyes could see that Zhang Qiu was deliberately making things difficult for Xing Yixin. Xing Yixin had done her job very well, but Zhang Qiu still wanted to find fault with her.

"You're just going to let it go like this..." Xiao Li was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

A commotion arose at the entrance to the tea room, and Ding Jiaxin, her high heels clattering, rushed into the tea room.

Her hair was disheveled, and her shirt had popped out from under her pencil skirt from running. She, who always paid attention to her appearance, looked disheveled at this moment.

She saw Xing Yixin holding a coffee cup, quietly leaning against the table and watching her.

Ding Jiaxin seemed to have her secret exposed, so she tidied her hair and managed the guilty expression on her face.

"Yixin, how are you?"

Ding Jiaxin was out on fieldwork in the morning, and was not present when Mrs. Zhangqiu called.

"Hmm." Xing Yixin gave a faint "hmm," indicating that she was fine.

Seeing that Xing Yixin's expression was no different from usual, Ding Jiaxin breathed a sigh of relief, resumed her usual posture, and affectionately took Xing Yixin's arm.

"You haven't eaten yet, Yixin? Let's go out for lunch together. It's on me, to calm you down."
