The door to Huo Yeshuo's office was made of some unknown material, with dark gray metallic lines running across it, like forged steel, and it gleamed with a cold light even in the sunlight.
But it feels very soft to the touch, like some kind of wood.
Most importantly, the sound insulation is quite good.
Having failed to eavesdrop, Lin Zhenzhen straightened up, intending to return to Zhang Minglang's office and lie down for a while.
But just as she turned around, the door opened.
Luo Meng came out of the house.
She seemed like a completely different person after just one day apart. Her once elegant and smooth hair was now tied up rather haphazardly.
Her face was sallow with prominent brown spots, and the foundation couldn't cover her prominent eye bags, making her look much older.
Lin Zhenzhen had initially wondered if Luo Meng had feelings for Huo Yeshuo, which was why she was making things difficult for her.
But now it seems the age difference between the two is at least ten years. If she had eaten two peanuts, she wouldn't have such a daydream.
"Lingzhen! You finally dared to show your face." Luo Meng's eyes blazed with fury. "Come with me!"
Lin Zhenzhen let Luo Meng pull her to the end of the corridor.
The entire interior walls of the 56th floor are fitted with huge floor-to-ceiling windows with a special frosted texture. When viewed from the outside in, it is a blurry mess, but when viewed from the inside out, it is very clear.
[System, is Huo Yeshuo looking this way?]
[Yes, he's here! And he even stood up from his seat!]
Lin Zhenzhen subtly moved a step to the right, slightly shifting her face away from Luo Meng's.
"Lingzhen, how dare you complain to President Huo?"
Luo Meng clasped her hands together, and despite her disheveled appearance, she still maintained her superior demeanor.
"Hmm?" Lin Zhenzhen looked up, her brows furrowing slightly. "I didn't, Director Luo. Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?" Luo Meng sneered. "Who else could it be but you? At such a young age, you already possess such shrewdness and skill. It seems I truly underestimated you."
"But I really didn't tell Mr. Huo anything." Lin Zhenzhen lowered her head, her fingers gripping the hem of her skirt tightly. "Why won't you believe me?"
"Ha, don't try to play the victim in front of me. I'm not that easy to fool."
"Huh?" Lin Zhenzhen looked up, her eyes innocent and clear. She raised her hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear. "Alright then."
Lin Zhenzhen slowly raised her eyebrows. Although the corners of her mouth were still drooping, there was a hint of a smile in her eyes.
Of course, only Luo Meng, who was in front of him, could see these micro-expressions.
"It's true that you deliberately made things difficult for me, but does it really matter who told you?"
Her change of expression was so natural and swift that Luo Meng was momentarily caught off guard: "You..."
"Are you going to try to argue that you were just fulfilling your duties as a leader?"
Lin Zhenzhen pouted: "Teaching a clumsy intern so patiently is simply an act of kindness. How can it be considered difficult?"
"That sounds reasonable. But let me guess." Lin Zhenzhen's smile slowly widened. "President Huo didn't listen to your nonsense, did he?"
Lin Zhenzhen's every provocation hit Luo Meng's sore spot precisely. Luo Meng clenched her teeth so tightly that it looked like her back teeth were about to break.
"Lingzhen, don't be too smug. President Huo is just gathering information; nothing has been decided yet. Don't think that everyone else is a fool and will listen to your side of the story."
"An investigation? That's such a coincidence." Lin Zhenzhen held up her phone, her eyes wide. "I happen to have a recording!"
Luo Meng was taken aback, and after a few seconds she realized that the recording she was talking about came from the phone call that night.
It turns out that this brat had been plotting against her all along.
Luo Meng stepped forward and grabbed Lin Zhenzhen's arm, her face contorted with rage: "You think you can bring me down with these little tricks?"
“I’ve been with Kangkong Pharmaceutical for over a decade. So what if I make things difficult for a little intern like you? Would President Huo fire me?”
"I have accumulated a network of contacts and experience in the workplace over the past ten years, which is far beyond your imagination."
"On the contrary, even if you leave Kang Kong, no matter which company you go to, as long as you stay in Haicheng, I will find a way to make things difficult for you."
Luo Meng said, word by word, "Ling Zhen, what makes you think you can fight me?"
Lin Zhenzhen stared at her, her eyes shifting almost imperceptibly, and her body suddenly trembled like a leaf.
Her lips trembled slightly: "I didn't mean to fight with you, Director Luo, but I'm scared by your behavior."
