13. Chu Yanhui, kneeling down to beg me
Liu Qu, with his slicked-back hair, sneered, "How come I haven't seen this guy before? Is he from our company? Come in?"
This smug and condescending look was just like an emperor seeing a slave.
“…I am Chu Yanhui.”
The girl lowered her voice in shame, her eyes almost begging him to let her pass.
But the other party was still blocking the elevator.
He pretended to be shocked, raised one eyebrow, and shouted exaggeratedly: "Chu Yanhui! You're back? You're not an employee of the magazine anymore, what's going on? Could it be that your sponsor got tired of you and abandoned you, and you want to return to the magazine?"
"puff……"
Everyone else in the hall covered their mouths and snickered.
Their eyes were focused on the girl, full of malice.
Chu Yanhui's face turned red and pale at the laughter and disgusted looks from the whole room. She froze in place, her fingers trembling slightly. At that moment, she felt she would rather die.
If I die, I won’t be ridiculed and humiliated like this.
His teeth chattered together, and he spoke word by word in a trembling voice: "I'm here to look for someone... Liu Qu, please move aside..."
The man's eyes widened comically as if he had seen an alien, and he made an exaggerated expression: "What, what did you say? Are you looking for someone? Oh my god, am I hallucinating? Your financial sponsor is not here!"
He laughed out loud in an artificial manner, sarcastically saying, "Oh no! I should say it's the sponsor...hahahaha!"
The laughter spread throughout the lobby, deafening.
Chu Yanhui clenched his hands into fists, his eyes reddened, and he gritted his teeth, "Don't go too far!"
When she first joined the company as an intern, Liu Qu pursued her, and she told him she had a boyfriend. However, he kept pestering her and even offered her flowers in public, but she ruthlessly rejected him. This petty man became angry and embarrassed.
The two of them fell out.
During her tenure, she was known for her outstanding professional skills, and her interviews were once on the front page of the newspapers. He could only curse her behind her back and dared not confront her directly. This time, he found an opportunity to humiliate her severely.
"Am I overdoing it?"
He pointed at his face and looked at everyone jokingly. After a quick glance, he looked away with satisfaction.
"How did I go too far? You're the one who's on the list of flirting with older men! If you can do something like that, why shouldn't I say anything?"
"I used to think you were a chaste and virtuous woman, but it turns out you're just someone who needs a man!"
Chu Yanhui felt extremely angry after being humiliated like a slut in public, and tried hard to resist the urge to punch him in the face.
Every deep breath was trembling.
Seeing that she was extremely angry due to the insult, he felt very happy. He sneered and said:
"You said you were here to look for someone. Who are you looking for? Call him and ask him to come over. Otherwise, we wouldn't dare let an unknown outsider in! Who knows what you're up to?"
The mocking expression was vicious and sarcastic.
"good."
Chu Yanhui suppressed her anger. She couldn't fight with such scum here. She didn't forget her purpose of coming here.
He took out his cell phone, dialed the number, answered the call, and handed the phone to him.
Everyone's curious and playful eyes swept back and forth between the two people until they hung up the phone.
The quiet atmosphere was broken by Liu Qu's mocking words:
"So you're the distinguished guest 'invited' by Editor-in-Chief Wang! Oh, it's my fault! I didn't expect Editor-in-Chief Wang to still be obsessed with you even after all this!"
In an instant, the whispers of the crowd became louder, and the laughter that rose and fell seemed to crawl into her ears like insects.
It made her feel uncomfortable all over.
"Hurry up and go up, I dare not stop the people invited by our editor-in-chief Wang——"
Liu Qu moved away lazily and arrogantly, making clicking sounds as he walked.
Chu Yanhui forced herself to stay calm and not bother with him.
After the elevator door closed, everyone started talking.
Liu Qu stared at the closing elevator door, the sneer on his face faded, and he cursed condescendingly: "You stinky woman, you always go up to lick any powerful man you see. How disgusting!"
He turned around and called the editor-in-chief's wife, a sinister smile on his face.
"Hmph, you'll be in trouble!"
The elevator stops on the seventh floor.
The editor-in-chief's office is at the end of the corridor.
Chu Yanhui pushed open the door and saw Wang Cheng sitting in the armchair with his legs crossed.
Seeing her coming, he stood up, took two steps towards her with his fat body, walked around the desk, and was about to touch her waist with his greasy hands.
"Xiao Chu, I see you've been quite popular these days. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
She dodged without leaving a trace.
"Don't touch me!" He stepped aside and lowered his voice. "Those four photos online accusing me of being the sponsor of the list were posted by you, weren't they?"
The man lifted his belt, and his belly pushed the belt down very low, with a difference of five centimeters between the front and the back.
In response to her question, he replied lightly, "Oh, so it's about this. So what if I did it?"
He turned around, his smile smug and disdainful: "You checked pretty quickly."
"Wang Cheng, I have no grudge against you, why are you doing this!" She was extremely angry at his nonchalant look.
He was slandered, framed, insulted, and plunged into an extremely painful situation, but he remained unmoved, not even a trace of uneasiness or guilt. Unfair! Unfair!
"That's just the kind of person you are. You dare to do things but not take responsibility for them?" He squinted his eyes again and approached her with a lewd expression. "Let me guess, you want me to remove that blog post and clear your name, right? How about this, stay with me for one night and I'll help you."
Chu Yanhui stared at him intently and didn't answer for a long time.
After a long while, he said word by word: "Those photos were not taken by you."
Wang Cheng froze for a moment, then tried to save face in a sly voice, "Yes, so what? The account is mine, and I can control public opinion with just one word!"
"It's not too late to kneel down and beg me!"
"Who gave you the photo?" she demanded.
"You have no right to negotiate with me. Know your place, Chu Yanhui, you are begging for help!"
She took a deep breath: "What do you want me to do to tell you?"
"Stay with me all night."
His hand was almost touching her arm. Chu Yanhui got goosebumps all over her body and raised her hand to slap it away.
But the other party grabbed her wrist and held it tightly.
"What are you hiding for!"
She gritted her teeth and struggled hard: "Let me go! You are molesting me!"
"You came up here just to get into bed? Why are you pretending? You're acting like a bitch and a virgin at the same time!"
She raised her leg and kicked him in the knee. The man was completely enraged by her, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her arm hard, walking into the inner office.
"I tell you, there's no woman in this world that I, Wang Cheng, can't handle!"
"Bang!"
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, bringing with it an angry wind.
A deep female voice rang out: "Wang Cheng, what are you doing!"
