Her colleagues teased her with laughter, but she quickly composed herself and gave a faint smile.
"No, just browsing."
——
She chose the name "Chuyang" specifically for the convenience of her work.
When Jingmin heard her choose those two words, his face immediately darkened, and he insisted that she change it to "Chu Wu".
But she casually brushed it off, completely ignoring his request.
——
"Don't just look at your phone, we're discussing the company's new 'Brand Artist Promotion Officer'!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I heard it's a big shot, personally contacted by the head of headquarters, and the secrecy is extremely tight!"
"Is it going to be another popular celebrity?"
“Our company is positioned as a high-end brand, so we should look for artists with more sophisticated qualities.”
"By the way... do you know the dancer Lin Yuebai?"
Lin Yuebai?
Chu Wuyang's fingertips tightened slightly, her mind momentarily blank. It had been so long since she'd heard that name…
The new colleague shook his head blankly, while the veteran employee chimed in with great interest:
"Of course I know! But she's not in the entertainment industry, is she? And her background is mysterious; rumors say she's actually the fifth young lady of the Chu family..."
Chu Wuyang lowered her head and did not look at the crowd.
Lin Yuebai's background is common knowledge within the industry, and the Chu family has also acknowledged it. However, very few outside the circle actually know about it. But that's understandable; since they aren't entirely public figures, it's inevitable that some people won't pay much attention.
"Miss Chu?"
Someone interrupted in surprise,
"Isn't that our big boss's wife?"
"That's even more impossible. Why would a wealthy woman personally show her face in public? However, her low-key identity as a dancer does suit her quite well."
A senior employee couldn't help but laugh:
"Your information is way behind the times. At the beginning of the year, Lin Yuebai was rumored to be having an affair with the big boss, but it was quickly clarified that she was actually the big boss's sister-in-law."
People sighed, and some joked:
"The lives of the wealthy are truly chaotic; even the eldest sister-in-law can have her own stories to tell."
Chu Wuyang felt a surge of irritation.
She was about to get up and leave when someone suddenly called her out by name—
"By the way, there have never been any photos of the big boss's wife online, but I remember her name is... Chu Wuyang."
"Hey? Chuyang, your name is only one character off!"
The air stagnated.
Everyone looked at her meaningfully, their eyes filled with inquiry and curiosity.
Chu Wuyang stiffened for a moment, then smiled faintly.
—She actually managed to witness such a dramatic scene: eating the gossip of the person in front of them.
She couldn't discern much from her colleagues' professional abilities, but their gossip skills were exceptional; it was hard for her to pretend she didn't hear them.
Just as she was about to completely distance herself from the topic, someone suddenly brought it up again—
"Do you know Yun Yang, the actress who recently starred in a blockbuster movie? I heard she might be our brand's first choice for spokesperson."
"Huh? Why her?"
"Tsk, you guys just don't understand."
The man spoke in a meaningful tone, lowering his voice.
"The affair between our big boss and his sister-in-law may not be true, but there's definitely something going on between him and Yun Yang."
"How so?"
"Yun Yang has been blacklisted twice before, but she always managed to make a quick comeback. The financial backer behind her is definitely not simple. And who else can you think of besides the big boss who can control everything in Haicheng?"
He spoke with such conviction that even Chu Wuyang couldn't help but admire him.
These people are indeed top figures in the gossip world.
Feeling annoyed, she got up and walked to the break room, thinking of getting a cup of coffee to calm down.
But just as she turned the corner, her shoulder bumped into someone.
She nearly spilled her coffee, and instinctively frowned and looked up.
The two looked at each other and were both taken aback.
A moment later, they spoke in unison—
"It's you?"
"What a coincidence?"
