Everyone whispered and spoke up for Mingyao, while Xu Sitian's fierce gaze swept across the faces of her colleagues, who all fell silent in fear.
They wanted to stand up for Mingyao, but they didn't dare to provoke Xu Sitian.
"Tch, accepting gifts from other men and still daring to say she likes President Pei?"
Xu Sitian smiled sarcastically, her gaze towards Mingyao filled with mockery.
"Mingyao, does President Pei know that you're shamelessly accepting gifts from other men?"
Mingyao looked at Xu Sitian coldly, secretly laughing to herself.
She really does speak without thinking.
She didn't directly refute Xu Sitian, but instead frowned and looked at her with a wronged expression.
"It seems that in your mind, Miss Xu, only men give me gifts."
“Miss Xu, I know you’re jealous of my looks, but I’m really upset by your malicious speculation about me.”
Mingyao quickly labeled Xu Sitian with accusations of conjecture and slander, to which Xu Sitian retorted sarcastically, "Tsk tsk, you're indirectly insulting me."
“Su Xueya, this is just your true nature.”
She made a mocking tsk-tsk sound: "Everyone is defending you now, but that's only because they haven't seen your true colors yet!"
Mingyao blinked, tears welling up in her eyes: "Miss Xu, how can I explain myself to you before you believe me?"
“An explanation is just a cover-up.” Xu Sitian glanced casually at the luxury goods in the bag. “Sure enough, only an older man would choose such a common style.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Zhong Ruyi’s assertive voice rang out: “So the gift I carefully picked out for Xiao Su is a very common one.”
She walked in one after the other with Hu Haichuan, a smile on her face, but the coldness in her eyes made everyone present tremble.
Everyone present recognized Zhong Ruyi.
Not long ago, Zhong Ruyi was framed by her husband and best friend and had a near-death experience. After being discharged from the hospital, she began to make sweeping changes to the company.
In just a few months, the high-tech company went from being severely damaged by public opinion and a fire to becoming a well-known technology company in Haidu, which shows Zhong Ruyi's ability.
Furthermore, Hu Haichuan, who is close to Zhong Ruyi, is also a big shot in a foreign technology company.
Now that these two people are standing together, everyone present seems to hold their breath.
Zhong Ruyi stood beside Ming Yao, looking at the arrogant Xu Sitian with a forced smile.
"Miss Xu, have any older men given you these gifts?"
Zhong Ruyi exuded an imposing aura, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression from within.
Xu Sitian clenched her fists. "Mrs. Zhong, so these gifts were from you."
"That's right."
Zhong Ruyi's gaze towards Xu Sitian deepened, and she said, word by word, "I am the old man you're talking about."
She clicked her tongue and smiled slightly: "Although I have a partnership with Haichang branch, I rarely come here."
"I never expected to see such a grand spectacle today."
Zhong Ruyi looked at Hu Haichuan with great interest and began to tease him.
"Before meeting Ms. Xu, I had no idea that a company employee would so brazenly slander and defame another person."
"And this person is the boss's wife."
"Miss Xu is the most amazing person I have ever met."
Zhong Ruyi kept smiling, but the words she said sent a chill down Xu Sitian's spine.
The Xu Group is no less powerful than high-tech companies, but these two are not people she can afford to offend.
Who would have thought that the person who gave Mingyao the gift would be Zhong Ruyi?
"Madam Zhong, this is a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstand?"
Zhong Ruyi seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. She looked at Xu Sitian with a smile and said, "So it was a misunderstanding."
"Miss Xu just graduated and returned to China, right?"
Xu Sitian nodded nervously, her face plastered with a fawning smile.
"You joined the Haichang branch right after graduation and were involved in core projects. Your father must have said a lot of good things about you to Mrs. Pei."
"Did you also promise her some shares in the Xu Group?"
As soon as Zhong Ruyi finished speaking, the smile on Xu Sitian's face disappeared.
As soon as she returned to China, she insisted on joining Haichang's branch office, and she was capable of passing the interview.
However, given the relationship between the Xu family and Madam Pei, even with her talent, Pei Siyu would not agree to let her join the company.
So she asked her father to persuade Mrs. Pei to use her connections at the Haichang branch, which helped her pass the interview.
Xu Sitian lowered her head, her expression contorted.
Zhong Ruyi wasn't about to give up: "Miss Xu really went to great lengths to get this position so she could easily seduce President Pei!"
"I really don't know how the Xu family raised you, to produce such a shameless person."
She emphasized the latter part of her sentence, causing everyone present to gasp.
The air around them seemed to freeze, and everyone fell silent, their eyes wide with shock.
Xu Sitian was both angry and annoyed, but she didn't have the courage to refute him.
At this moment, Xu Sitian wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She had always been treated with respect and deference, and no one had ever humiliated her like this.
"I still want to ask President Pei, why do you tolerate an employee like you who has no moral bottom line and can't even tell right from wrong?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Ruyi laughed: "President Pei, I have always believed in your abilities."
"I enjoyed working with you, but why did you allow such a shameless employee to bully your discarded protégé?"
"If this matter cannot be resolved properly, I may have to seriously reconsider our cooperation."
Xu Sitian shuddered and looked at Pei Siyu behind her in horror.
The moment she met Pei Siyu's gaze, her heart sank to the bottom.
Xu Sitian's eyes reddened, and she stammered an apology: "President Pei, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"
Pei Siyu was completely different from usual today; the coldness emanating from him made Xu Sitian feel terrified.
She considered herself fairly familiar with Pei Siyu, but this was the first time she had ever seen him in such a terrifying state.
Xu Sitian knew she was in deep trouble, and Pei Siyu was truly enraged.
"Xu Sitian, you're fired."
"Get out of the company immediately."
His voice was icy cold, like a sharp dagger that pierced Xu Sitian's heart without hesitation.
Xu Sitian panicked and choked back tears as she apologized, "President Pei, I know I was wrong!"
"I will never do it again!"
Zhong Ruyi bluntly exposed her: "So, are you sure you won't dare to do it again? Or are you going to continue bullying Xiao Su when President Pei isn't looking?"
Xu Sitian looked extremely embarrassed and regretted her actions.
She was too arrogant and looked down on Mingyao, which dug a hole for herself.
No matter how much Xu Sitian begged for mercy, Pei Siyu remained unmoved.
"Guards, drag Xu Sitian out!"
Xu Sitian clenched her fists. If she were dragged out by the security guards, the Xu Group would lose all face!
She bit her lower lip hard, tears welling in her eyes: "I'll go out by myself."
As she turned around, she glared at Mingyao with a venomous look in her eyes and clenched her fists tightly.
