"I heard that Jiang Xinyue has a husband and children."
"Huh? Really?"
"I heard that her husband is Bo Jingcheng, the president of the Bo Group."
"A wealthy woman has actually started working at our company, and she's so close to President Fu."
"Who knows if she came to our company to seduce our CEO, Mr. Fu?"
The whispers of my colleagues were cut off the moment the elevator doors slowly closed.
In the CEO's office, Fu Heng received a phone call from his mother.
"Son, you ruined that blind date last time, and your dad's still furious. Tell me, when did you get a girlfriend?"
"Mom, don't worry about it. Lin Wei and I aren't a good match. I won't go on a blind date with her," Fu Heng emphasized over the phone. He didn't like blind dates and would never date her.
Fu's mother sighed, "Son, your father and I both know that you only found a woman to pretend to be your girlfriend to appease us, right? You can't stay single forever, can you?"
Fu Heng rubbed his temples helplessly and said to his mother on the other end of the phone, "Mom, I'm really not just saying this to appease you. My mind is all on my career right now, and I don't want to think about relationships for the time being. Besides, I want to make my own decisions about my own marriage."
Fu's mother was extremely anxious on the phone: "You child, we're only doing this for your own good. Look at you, you're not young anymore, and you don't even have anyone to take care of you. You say you don't like blind dates, then why don't you find one yourself?"
Fu Heng was about to retort when he suddenly thought of Jiang Xinyue, and swallowed his words. At this moment, Fu's mother seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and her tone changed: "Son, do you have someone you like? Tell me, whose girl is she?"
Fu Heng hesitated for a moment, but decided not to tell his mother about Jiang Xinyue for the time being. He was afraid that his mother might do something that would embarrass Jiang Xinyue if she got agitated.
So he replied evasively, "Mom, really, no, don't make wild guesses. I have to hang up now, I have things to do at the company."
After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xinyue returned to her workstation, feeling uneasy under the strange looks from her colleagues.
She pulled her colleague Lin Yue aside and asked in a low voice, "Yueyue, what's going on? Lately, everyone's been looking at me strangely."
Lin Yue looked troubled and hesitated for a while before leaning closer to Jiang Xinyue and whispering, "Xinyue, it's all over the company. They're saying you're the wife of Bo Jingcheng, the president of the Bo Group, and they're also saying that you..."
Lin Yue paused, seemingly considering her words, "saying that you and President Fu are too close and have an unusual relationship."
Jiang Xinyue's heart sank. She knew that the truth would eventually come out, but she didn't expect the rumors to spread so quickly.
Seeing that Jiang Xinyue's expression was not good, Lin Yue misunderstood her and quickly waved her hand, saying innocently, "Sister Xinyue, it really wasn't me who said that, you have to believe me."
She shook her head with a wry smile: "I know it's not you. Mr. Fu and I are really just ordinary friends. I come to work at the company simply because I want to have my own career and live a good life."
Lin Yue patted Jiang Xinyue's hand and comforted her, "I believe you, but as for the others... especially that Li Na, I suspect that she's the one who spread the rumors about you and President Fu at the company."
Last time, Li Na targeted Jiang Xinyue and was punished by Fu Heng. In addition, she also had a crush on her boss, so it is estimated that she was dissatisfied and spread rumors about her.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyue frowned slightly, feeling disgusted by Li Na's behavior. However, at this moment, she was more concerned about how to quell the storm so as not to affect Fu Heng and the normal operation of the company.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said to Lin Yue, "Yueyue, don't make a fuss yet. I don't want to escalate things. I'll find a suitable time to explain things clearly."
Lin Yue looked at her worriedly: "Sister Xinyue, don't be too kind. Li Na doesn't seem to have good intentions, and she might do something even more outrageous."
Jiang Xinyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't give her that chance."
After the meeting in the afternoon, Jiang Xinyue came out of the conference room. Li Na, who was behind her, deliberately bumped into her arm, almost causing her to fall and drop the documents in her hand to the ground.
Jiang Xinyue steadied herself, her brows furrowed, and a surge of anger welled up inside her. She turned around and looked coldly at Li Na.
Li Na, however, feigned innocence and said sarcastically, "Oh, Xinyue, I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you. Did you fall?"
There was not a trace of apology in his tone.
Jiang Xinyue suppressed her anger and bent down to pick up the scattered documents on the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Yue rushed over to help, picking up the pieces while scolding Li Na: "Li Na, what's wrong with you? Can't you watch where you're going? If you really make Sister Xinyue fall, can you take responsibility?"
Li Na rolled her eyes and snorted dismissively, "I didn't do it on purpose, why are you all making such a fuss? Besides, she's just a lowly employee in the company, acting like she's some kind of high and mighty person."
Jiang Xinyue stood up, tidied up the documents, stared straight at Li Na, and said, word by word, "Li Na, we're all colleagues, we'll see each other all the time. I hope you'll be more careful in the future."
Li Na, however, showed no fear and instead glared back defiantly: "What? You want to hit me?"
Hearing the commotion, the surrounding colleagues gathered around, whispering among themselves.
"What happened?"
"I don't know! It seems Jiang Xinyue and Li Na had another argument."
"I don't hit people, but I won't offend others unless they offend me." Jiang Xinyue smiled contemptuously. "Do you think I wouldn't know about your underhanded tactics and spreading rumors about me behind my back?"
Li Na's heart skipped a beat, but she still pretended to be nonchalant: "Don't make false accusations. What underhanded tricks could I possibly pull? It's you who, after being dumped by President Bo, came to our company to seduce President Fu, and you won't even let others talk about it?"
Jiang Xinyue was so angry that she trembled all over. She never expected that Li Na would be so shameless and distort the truth.
Before she could even retort, Lin Yue couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Li Na, don't lie through your teeth! Sister Xin Yue and President Fu have a normal working relationship. You've targeted Sister Xin Yue time and time again out of jealousy. You're the one with ulterior motives!"
The whispers among her colleagues grew louder, and some began to express their dissatisfaction with Li Na's behavior: "Li Na, you targeted Jiang Xinyue before, and now you're saying this again. Isn't that going too far?"
"That's right, you can't just make things up without evidence." But some people were skeptical, muttering under their breath, "However, Jiang Xinyue and President Fu are indeed close. Who knows what's really going on?"
Seeing that someone was speaking up for her, Li Na not only didn't back down, but became even more arrogant: "Hmph, don't be fooled by her pitiful act. She just wants to get into President Fu's bed and find herself a new backer."
