Guo Xiaorong fiddled with the camera, her lips twitching slightly, her smile becoming even more mocking: "Only fools are easy to manipulate."
"We should thank Ni An; it's all thanks to her that things went so smoothly." Guo Xiaorong's smile held a deeper meaning.
An hour later, Ni An anonymously broke the news to reporters online, along with photos of Ming Yao, Pei Zhao, and Pei Siyu.
Because the revelation was made late at night, Ni An's post went unnoticed.
Guo Xiaorong started using connections and leveraging Pei Siyu's name to promote the post as much as possible.
Within just half an hour, the internet was flooded with rumors about Pei Siyu, Pei Zhao, and Ming Yao.
After a night of fermentation, public opinion exploded at 8:00 AM, and Weibo was completely paralyzed.
Mingyao, on her way to work, was completely unaware of the online discussions, only noticing that the taxi driver was acting strangely today.
During the drive, the taxi driver kept glancing at Mingyao through the rearview mirror.
Furthermore, there was a hint of intrigue and mockery in the driver's eyes.
Mingyao felt uncomfortable being stared at by the driver. She glared at him coldly and asked in a chilling voice, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
The driver grinned lewdly. "You really can't judge a book by its cover."
"Some people may seem aloof, but they are actually vixens."
Mingyao understood the underlying meaning in the driver's words. She forced a smile, took out her phone, pointed the camera at the driver, and said with a forced smile, "Driver, you're so eloquent, continue."
The driver glared at Mingyao, his contempt growing even stronger.
Perhaps deterred by the surveillance cameras, the driver stopped making sarcastic remarks about Mingyao.
When she arrived at the company, Mingyao got out of the taxi.
She had just taken a step when she heard a "click" sound behind her.
Mingyao turned around and saw the driver taking pictures of her back with his phone, his smile particularly lewd and greasy.
"What are you doing!"
Mingyao's anger flared up, and she reached out to snatch the driver's phone.
The driver reacted quickly, stepping on the gas and speeding away before Mingyao could make a move.
Mingyao stared coldly at the taxi that disappeared at the end of the road, recalling everything that had happened after she got in the car, and felt only strangeness.
She silently noted down the license plate number, planning to call the police after get off work.
When she arrived at the company, Mingyao tidied her work clothes as usual.
When her colleagues arrived at the company, they looked at Mingyao with all sorts of different eyes.
Noticing her colleagues' gazes, Mingyao felt very strange.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and leaned close to Mingyao, whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Su Xueya, tell the truth, did something happen between you and President Pei, or even the young President Pei?"
"ah?"
Mingyao frowned, looking at her colleague with a puzzled expression: "Why do you say that?"
My colleague's eyes widened in surprise. "Haven't you seen the rumors online about you, President Pei, and Little President Pei?"
Mingyao's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling welled up inside her. "What kind of scandal?"
Seeing her confused look, her colleague took out his phone and showed her posts on Weibo.
#Su Xueya's Back View# Boiling
#Details about Su Xueya, Pei Zhao, and Pei Siyu#
#ProfessionalDaji#
The moment Mingyao saw these terms, she gasped for breath, her pupils constricting.
What is all this about?
She randomly clicked on a topic, and the comments inside were extremely offensive.
A quick glance revealed nothing but insults directed at her.
Seeing Mingyao's face gradually turn pale, her colleague asked, "Is this... really fake?"
Mingyao said firmly, "It's fake."
"What unscrupulous media outlets! They actually spread rumors about our Haichang branch employees!"
"Su Xueya, don't worry, the company will protect you."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sharp voice rang out: "Su Xueya, come out!"
Mingyao and her colleagues were taken aback, and they all turned to look at the woman who had rushed into the company, following the sound.
Meng Yan strode over menacingly, her eyes flashing with a cold light like knives, as if she wanted to scrape the flesh off Ming Yao's face.
After her eyes locked onto Mingyao, she strode over aggressively, her fierce and menacing appearance seemingly capable of devouring everything.
"Madam Meng, there might be a misunderstanding here."
When her colleagues tried to speak up for Mingyao, Meng Yan couldn't possibly listen.
After pushing her colleague away, she grabbed Mingyao's hair and pulled hard.
Meng Yan's rough behavior caught Ming Yao off guard. She cried out "Ah!" and had no choice but to come out from behind the front desk.
"You shameless woman, how dare you seduce my son!"
"Don't you even know your own limitations?"
After learning about the news online, Meng Yan immediately went to the Haichang branch to confront Ming Yao.
Meng Yan's actions quickly attracted the attention of her colleagues. Everyone sympathized with Ming Yao's rumors, but no one dared to provoke Meng Yan.
More and more colleagues gathered around to watch the commotion, at a loss for what to do.
Mingyao took a deep breath, grasped Meng Yan's wrist, and patiently explained, "Madam, you've really misunderstood."
"I have no relationship with President Pei."
Meng Yan didn't believe Ming Yao's explanation at all, and retorted sarcastically: "There's no smoke without fire, and it takes two to tango."
"If you really have nothing to do with my son, how did the rumors about you two spread online?"
"Hmph, a mere receptionist dares to try and seduce my son, let alone save him, and she even has an ambiguous relationship with Pei Siyu!"
"Hehehe, since you enjoy seducing men so much, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Meng Yan tightened her grip and said through gritted teeth.
Mingyao was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, and her scalp ached from Meng Yan's pulling.
“Mrs. Meng, I am already married, and Mr. Pei knows that.”
Even if you don't believe me, don't you believe in your son's character?
She suppressed her anger and explained in a tearful voice, "Mrs. Meng, no matter what kind of person I am, you should at least believe in Mr. Pei's character."
"Although President Pei is not a professional, he would never do anything that violates basic moral principles."
Mingyao looked at Meng Yan with tears in her eyes, trying to use Pei Zhao to bring her back to her senses.
Meng Yan composed herself and carefully considered Ming Yao's words.
No matter how much Pei Zhao enjoys having fun, he would never cheat on her with a married woman.
Seeing Meng Yan waver, Ming Yao pressed her advantage, explaining with tears streaming down her face, "Madam Meng, now is the time for the Haichang branch to develop."
"The sudden online exposure of rumors about me, Xiao Pei, and Pei himself has had a significant impact on the Haichang branch."
"Moreover, it has a great impact on President Pei's reputation."
"Even if Madam Meng doesn't care about the company, she can't afford to disregard Young Master Pei's reputation."
Madam Meng was stunned, completely convinced by Mingyao.
However, she didn't completely trust Mingyao yet.
She glanced at Mingyao sideways, asking with a hint of disbelief, "Is everything you're saying true?"
"Mrs. Meng, I am just an ordinary receptionist. How could I possibly be worthy of Mr. Pei's attention?"
"Besides, I'm a married woman?"
Meng Yan narrowed her eyes, slowly loosened her grip, and still retorted, "Flies don't land on eggs without cracks."
