Chapter 22: Theft
Su Man's ears were originally hot, but now her face was also hot.
She glared at him angrily.
He held her in his arms and walked inside. Su Man felt that as a secretary, she shouldn't be so close to him in public, so she pulled Xiao Beisheng's hand away and moved half a step away from his arms.
Xiao Beisheng thought she was shy, so he let her do what she wanted.
Everything here was within the sight of Wang Yuqing on the second-floor balcony.
Wang Yuqing curled the corners of her lips in hatred and said to the women around her, "Sisters, Secretary Su is here."
"Come on, let's go. I want to see what this vixen who steals other people's men can do."
"We have to treat her well later. It would be a shame for her to dress so beautifully today if we don't let her make a fool of herself."
Several elegantly dressed women came downstairs together, smiling happily.
Su Man stayed with Xiao Beisheng, oblivious to what was happening upstairs. Wherever Xiao Beisheng went, many people would come forward to greet him. At such times, Su Man didn't really need to show up. She just needed to stand by and take the business cards.
But today, Xiao Beisheng didn't know what was wrong with him. He would turn around and ask her from time to time: "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll go eat with you."
Or ask her: "Are you tired of standing? Go over there and take a rest for a while?"
Or like now, ignoring those shareholders and partners, turning around and asking her: "Are you bored here?"
Su Man was flattered, but at the same time she had to endure the inquiring gazes of people around her.
Normally she wouldn't care, but now she is Xiao Beisheng's secretary and is being taken care of by a boss like this. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
"You don't have to always take care of me. I'm going to get some fresh air, and you continue talking to the bosses." She was worried that if she didn't leave, Xiao Beisheng would always take care of her, and she would be shot through with holes by other people's eyes.
Xiao Beisheng raised his eyebrows, "Okay, call me if you have anything."
Su Man nodded and walked away. Her quiet and beautiful back gave people wonderful imaginations.
Su Man went to the outdoor courtyard, where there was an open-air swimming pool, but no one went into the water. After all, it was a formal occasion, and everyone was dressed in suits and dresses to discuss cooperation.
"Secretary Su, why are you here alone? Why aren't you with Bei Sheng?"
A sudden voice sounded beside me.
Su Man turned her head and saw Wang Yuqing walking towards her with three women.
Su Man's heart was alarmed, but because she didn't understand the other party's intention, she maintained basic etiquette and nodded politely to the other party.
As long as I keep my distance from them, they shouldn't do anything to her in public.
"Come over there and chat with us for a while?" One of the women in a pink dress invited Suman.
Su Man smiled and politely declined: "No, I have to go back. It would be bad if Mr. Xiao couldn't find me later."
"Oh, just a moment, it won't take much time." Another woman in a black dress reached out to pull Suman.
She was very strong, almost to the point of being brutal. The extended nails on her hands scratched Su Man's arm and it hurt. Su Man's skin was delicate. When she looked down, she saw a bloody mark.
Su Man narrowed her beautiful eyes. This was no longer just a friendly invitation.
These women were probably here to make things difficult for her.
Su Man grabbed the hand of the woman in the black dress, pulled her hand off with force and shook it off.
Somehow, the girl in the black dress suddenly fell backwards and hit the ground. At that moment, everyone present was stunned. The girl in the black dress reacted and yelled, "You pushed me! Why did you push me for no reason?"
The women in pink and green dresses next to them also accused Suman: "Yes, we came here to invite you, and it would be fine if you didn't go, but why did you hit me?"
"How uneducated! Is Dingsheng's secretary so arrogant? Those who know you would say you work for Xiao Beisheng, while those who don't would think you work in bed!"
The foul language and insults attracted people nearby.
However, there was some distance between indoors and outdoors, and the people at the banquet could not hear the sounds in the courtyard, so Xiao Beisheng had no idea what was happening outside.
The people who came were already outside, people Su Man didn't know.
But from their discussion, Su Man could tell that these people probably had connections with the Wang family, and they were all speaking up for Wang Yuqing and her best friends:
"Whose secretary is this? She's so arrogant that she even dares to offend Yuqing's friends."
"Xiao Beisheng's secretary was involved in a scandal a while ago, which caused quite a stir!"
"No wonder, she's dressed so formally, is she trying to show off to the main character?"
Su Man stood there, neither humble nor arrogant: "I don't know Miss Wang's friends. They invited me to a place for no reason. After I refused, they all started to pull me away. I don't know where they wanted to take me."
She spoke very cleverly, and gave very crucial information:
The other party was the first to attack; there were several people on the other side, and Su Man was weak alone; the other party wanted to take Su Man somewhere.
And she intentionally or unintentionally revealed the bloodstains on her arm.
The bright lights by the swimming pool made the marks on her arms very obvious, with broken skin and blood spots.
Su Man finally said steadily: "Just check the surveillance and you will know."
She was so calm that the people around her began to doubt her.
There were whispers of discussion, overflowing from the crowd:
"That's true. If I were the mistress, I wouldn't even have time to hide, so why would I run to the main man and act wildly? Besides, there are three or four people on Miss Wang's side. Even if you are stupid, you wouldn't take on four of them alone!"
"The daughter of the Wang family is indeed a bit arrogant. Although she hasn't explicitly stated that she's dating Xiao Beisheng, she's probably going to be hard to swallow after hearing this news. It's unclear who will bully whom..."
"Are they going to take people away to do something?"
The situation was easily reversed by Su Man, and the women on Wang Yuqing's side all looked unhappy.
Su Man thought the matter was over, but she saw Wang Yuqing's mouth twitch, a hint of contempt: "Secretary Su is really a man of his word. When did we invite you?"
Su Man frowned.
Wang Yuqing said, "Because you stole my ring, we came to question you. You wanted to leave, so we grabbed you. Secretary Su wants to check the surveillance footage, so go ahead. I want to see how President Xiao will face me when he sees his secretary stealing something with his own eyes."
There was only one surveillance camera in the swimming pool, and it was far away. Not only could it not record what they were saying at the time, but the picture was also blurry.
If you really check the surveillance footage for a small item like a ring, you might not even be able to see it, not to mention that Su Man didn't steal it at all, so what can you find by checking the surveillance footage?
At times like this, whoever has a higher status, more power and more money has the final say.
If Wang Yuqing, a rich girl from a wealthy family, said that Su Man stole something, then it was Su Man who stole it.
Su Man just fabricated facts and made up a story that everyone was bullying her.
It's really abominable and hateful!
