Lu Ying had only been here a short time, so she should have been working overtime every day, busy with all sorts of miscellaneous tasks.
But she wasn't a naive young girl just entering society; she did what she was supposed to do, and she didn't bother with things she wasn't supposed to do.
Knowing that some people disliked her and deliberately pushed work onto her, she treated it all as practice, as long as it wasn't too excessive. She allocated her time well, maximizing her efficiency to finish before leaving work.
Even if she couldn't finish, she wouldn't keep herself busy for too long; she still needed to go back and take care of her precious daughter.
Just like today when she suddenly returned, I could hear people inside loudly badmouthing her even while standing at the door.
Such situations were unavoidable, but this was the first time she had encountered one head-on.
She intended to wait until they finished talking before going in, but after five minutes, they seemed to be getting more and more excited.
She revealed everything, including that she hooked up with the general manager, had three abortions, was someone's mistress for seven or eight years, and even had "quick sex" with someone in the bathroom!
Lu Ying laughed as she listened.
That's some serious rant!
She wouldn't dare write something like this in her own novels!
General Manager, my foot!
Is the general manager out of his mind? Why would he hire a divorced woman like her?
People with the means all go after young, beautiful, and virgin girls!
Lu Ying couldn't help but laugh more and more as she listened, and eventually she couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
The people inside the door heard the noise and looked at her, their expressions changing as rapidly as the colorful lights in a nightclub.
One of the bolder ones glared directly at Lu Ying and said, "What are you laughing at? Are you acting crazy because we made you feel guilty?"
The woman was still smiling, but she walked inside, asking with a smile, "Why would I feel guilty?"
The man's face stiffened, and he pointed at her, yelling, "Of course you got your position through underhanded means! Otherwise, how could someone who just graduated from adult education university be sitting directly in the position of project designer!"
Lu Ying stopped laughing, a faint smile playing on her lips, and began to speak slowly and deliberately.
"First of all, I neither accepted nor was I subjected to any underhanded dealings; secondly, while I may not be as good as those of you who went directly to university, I still passed the college entrance examination through proper means; furthermore, I applied for the position of project designer, and if I don't take that position, do you expect me to be an assistant in that position?"
The man's face turned ugly after hearing her words, and he stood there stunned, unsure how to refute them.
Seeing her reaction, Lu Ying couldn't help but laugh again. "There's something else I'm curious about: how did you know I had three miscarriages?"
The woman leaned closer to the young woman who couldn't refute her, her gentle almond-shaped eyes fixed on her. "Could it be... you're the reincarnation of that third child? Otherwise, how do you know so much?"
Despite the tone of doubt and curiosity, the young woman felt a chill run down her spine and her scalp tingle.
Lu Ying straightened up, the smile on her face vanished, and she held a recording pen in her hand, her expression as cold as ice.
“I accidentally recorded everything you said just now. After all, this involves more than just me; it also involves senior company personnel. The other parties involved should also know about it.”
"We're all adults, and we need to be responsible for our words and actions, don't you agree?"
When the woman took out the recording pen, the faces of the people opposite her had already stiffened and turned pale.
Lu Ying smiled sarcastically at their reactions, put away the recorder, picked up her phone, and walked out the door.
The women seemed to suddenly realize what was happening. The youngest woman stepped forward and stopped Lu Ying, glancing at the bag where she kept the recording pen.
Where are you going?
Lu Ying found it amusing, "Where I go is none of your business."
The woman glared at her and shouted, "You're not allowed to leave! Hand over the recording pen!"
Lu Ying looked at her coldly, "On what grounds?"
The woman winked at the other two women and then threatened Lu Ying, "You've only been here a few days! So what if you're a project designer? We veterans who have been here for years are more trusted by the company!"
As soon as she finished speaking, all three women rushed towards Lu Ying, with the younger woman heading straight for the bag in her hand.
One person can't fight against three people with six hands. Lu Ying protected her bag with one hand and resisted the young woman who pounced on her with the other.
Just as one of the women grabbed her hair and she winced in pain, a man suddenly rushed in from outside the door.
"ah--"
The woman who was grabbing Lu Ying's hair was pushed and fell to the ground. The fabric of her bodycon skirt burst open at the back, exposing her red underwear.
Lu Ying recognized the person as Xi Jun.
The man coldly shoved the other two women away as well. One fell to the ground, and the other hit her lower back on the corner of a table, both screaming in pain.
Xi Jun didn't even glance at their miserable state, then turned to Lu Ying with concern in her eyes, "Are you alright? Did they hurt you anywhere?"
Lu Ying didn't answer immediately, so he cupped her face in his hands, looking at it from left to right, and then held her shoulders, turning her around to examine her.
His concerned and worried expression was as if his most cherished treasure had been hurt, filled with anxiety and heartache.
Lu Ying quickly realized what was happening, raised her hand and pushed the person away a little, saying somewhat awkwardly, "I'm fine, stay away from me."
As she spoke, she looked away, avoiding Xi Jun's gaze.
The man was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, his ears instantly turned bright red, and he started stammering again.
"I'm so sorry, I... I was afraid you'd get hurt, and I was just... so anxious..."
Xi Jun stammered as she explained, her eyes darting around in a panic, unsure of where to look.
When he caught up, he saw the three women rushing towards Lu Ying. The woman was all alone and was clearly being deliberately bullied.
Seeing one of them grab the woman's hair, causing her to wince in pain, he went blank for a moment and rushed over without thinking.
Seeing his flustered and helpless expression, completely different from the cold and hard look he had when he pushed away those women earlier, Lu Ying was suddenly amused.
She looked up at Xi Jun and met the man's furtive gaze.
The man lowered his head instantly, as if burned by something, leaving only his bright red ears exposed.
Lu Ying was speechless at his reaction. How could an old man like him be so easily embarrassed like a young man?
Her gaze passed over Xi Jun and fell on the three women who had fallen to the ground. Her usual gentleness and kindness had turned into coldness and ruthlessness.
"You should consider whether you can bear the responsibility the moment you speak. Even if you have been with the company for a long time, I believe no company would tolerate an employee who spreads rumors about their boss!"
After saying that, Lu Ying pulled the stunned Xi Jun out of the company, too lazy to look at how ugly the three women's faces were.
Once inside the elevator, Lu Ying released the man, paused, and then thanked him, "Thank you so much for earlier."
Xi Jun stared blankly at the wrist that the woman had pulled, and it took her a while to react after hearing the words of thanks.
"No, you're welcome."
He stood there somewhat helplessly, then suddenly remembered the work badge he had found. He took it out of his briefcase and handed it to the woman with both hands.
"You, your work badge."
