Chapter 24: Judging from her demeanor, she certainly doesn't seem like a bad woman.
On the other side.
Pan Yujia said indignantly, puzzled, "Uncle, why did you tell everyone to disperse? I haven't made that woman pay the price yet."
Wang Minghua gave her a speechless look. "This is the Li Group. If you make a big scene, the higher-ups won't care who's right or wrong; none of you will get away with it. It's best to end things now. Do you really want her to check the surveillance footage?"
Based on his understanding of Jiajia and the pleading look in her eyes when she saw him, he knew she was definitely not in the right, and continuing like this would not be good for her.
Pan Yujia gave an awkward twitch of her lips, "She got off easy."
"I haven't asked you yet, what exactly happened today?"
Upon hearing this, Pan Yujia glared at the man who had been silently following beside her, not daring to say a word. "It's all his fault, he can't control his eyes. That woman is shameless too, how can she dress herself and not allow others to see?"
The man felt extremely embarrassed after his secret was exposed. He clenched his teeth and lowered his head awkwardly. "I just happened to glance over there, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood."
Wang Minghua gave him a disapproving look. A misunderstanding?
If it were someone else, he might be more willing to believe them.
But they didn't even look at the person on the other side—a woman, and a very charming one at that!
As a man myself, how could he not understand him?
If you're going to say he didn't watch it, just write his name backwards: Hua Ming Wang!
Pan Yujia was still bothered by the surveillance footage, so she went up to Wang Minghua and hugged his arm, saying ingratiatingly, "By the way, Uncle, aren't you familiar with the head of the surveillance department? Could you ask him to delete that footage?"
Wang Minghua tried to pull his hand away, but couldn't. He frowned and said unhappily, "You think you can just delete it like that? Do you think the company is your home?"
He has put in a lot of effort since his niece came to work here.
His sister was worried that if her daughter continued to play around, things would go wrong. In addition, her own company wasn't prestigious enough, and she didn't want to work there. So, his sister had to beg and bribe him before he reluctantly took on this troublesome job.
"Oh, Uncle, it's all thanks to you. I'm always uneasy with those surveillance cameras around." Pan Yujia herself was arranged to get in by her uncle, so he must have a way. And judging from her uncle's tone, she knew there was hope. She hugged his arm and shook it.
Wang Minghua irritably shook off her hand, but did not refuse.
...
Rush hour.
The person queuing outside the elevator suddenly turned around and waved their phone at a familiar colleague, "See? It was posted in the group chat."
A colleague, unaware of the situation, immediately pressed for details, asking gossip-filled questions, "What group? What are you looking at?"
"It's been posted in several groups. It's big gossip in our company. Look, it was posted this morning. This very beautiful woman falsely accused this man of taking pictures of her without her consent. Then the man's girlfriend got angry and got into a fight with this beautiful woman. In the end, this woman even tried to call the police and accuse him of something else."
"Holy crap, how shameless! What pretty woman, pretty woman, let me see... Holy crap, this woman is so pretty!"
"...I'm showing you the contents, don't judge a book by its cover."
The two didn't try to keep their voices down. They were surrounded by people from the company, and when they heard there was some gossip, they all fell silent and started listening intently to the juicy tale, while also checking the long-silent group chat.
Xu Xiangying also opened her various groups and found none.
What gossip is this? How beautiful is she? Is she even prettier than Bo Wei?
Fortunately, she was standing next to the two of them, leaning slightly forward to look at them, her pupils slowly dilating.
The person in the video is easy to recognize: a white shirt, a suit skirt, and long black hair—it's none other than Bo Wei.
She immediately moved even closer, and the two men gave the beautiful woman a strange look, then silently moved their phones closer together so the three of them could look at the screen together.
After watching the video, Xu Xiangying had mixed feelings. She said seriously to the two of them, "Don't believe it. I know this very beautiful woman. She's a very nice person and easy to get along with. She would never frame someone like that. Look, the video is heavily edited, with the beginning and end cut off. Someone must have deliberately misled everyone."
Gossip is the best bridge to facilitate communication between strangers.
When the two men heard that she knew her, their eyes lit up.
"Really? I knew this person looked kind and gentle, not like that kind of person."
"Yes, yes, look at her poise; you can't fake that. You really know her? She's so beautiful!"
“I know him! His character is absolutely impeccable, I guarantee it,” she said loudly on purpose.
After she finished speaking, someone in the queue let out a soft gasp.
"I also saw this video in the group. This woman is really beautiful, and she doesn't look like a bad woman at all."
Those who haven't seen it are itching to see what it looks like, and everyone says it's beautiful.
"Hey, someone else has shared this on my page too."
"Me too! Someone recognized her and said she's President Li's secretary..."
Xu Xiangying frowned. In such a short time, so many people had received the mass message. Clearly, someone was deliberately trying to mess with her.
Seeing that everyone else was gossiping while his own group chat was quiet, he asked someone next to him for WeChat and requested the video.
With mixed feelings, I entered the office and glanced at Bo Wei's seat; no one was there.
"Staring blankly so early in the morning, didn't you sleep well?" Zhou Yang glanced at her.
"I'll show you a video." She casually put down her bag, sat down, and moved her chair closer to Zhou Yang.
The two read it in silence and stared at each other for a long time.
Xu Xiangying: "She's here?"
Zhou Yang: Definitely. She's the first one there every day, still cleaning upstairs.
What expression?
"...I said it didn't come down."
"Oh, right. Does she not know about this yet? What do we do now?"
"I don't know, how did you get this video?"
"When I was queuing to get into the elevator, I overheard people gossiping and found out they were talking about her. So I asked for this video. I figured she didn't know yet, since no one in our many groups had posted this, and she hadn't been here long, so it was even less likely she had received it."
"Let's tell her."
"What's wrong? What happened?" Lin Fangfei asked as she passed by, leaning closer.
Wendy walked into the office and naturally came over as well.
When Jiang Chengli entered the office area, he saw a group of people huddled together whispering.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone turned around at the same time, awkwardly greeting, "Good morning, Assistant Jiang."
"What are you looking at?" Jiang Chengli asked, noticing Xu Xiangying putting her phone away.
Everyone remained silent about this matter...
Seeing this, it was clear that something was wrong, but no one said anything. Jiang Chengli simply reminded them, "Let's leave personal matters aside and get to the point about business."
Xu Xiangying pursed her lips. This matter was originally a private one, but now it should be considered a public matter.
"Assistant Jiang, look at this video."
Jiang Chengli took the phone and watched it while everyone waited, his brow furrowing slightly. "Where did this video come from?"
Xu Xiangying explained.
Who sent it to the group?
She shook her head.
Jiang Chengli handed the phone back to her and said, "Everyone, go back to your posts and get on with your work."
Everyone looked disappointed. They had thought that Assistant Jiang might say something, after all, Bo Wei was at least a member of the office, and in the video...
Bo Wei didn't sleep well last night. She's the type of person who tends to overthink things, and last night she went through all the worst possible scenarios, and the more she thought about it, the more she regretted not calling the police.
I couldn't muster the energy to clean this morning. When I finished and went downstairs, I noticed everyone's strange expressions before I even entered the house.
Xu Xiangying felt that she was the most qualified person to know and should tell her in time. As for how to handle it, that was her business. "Weiwei, did you have a conflict with someone downstairs last night?"
One sentence sent a chill down Bo Wei's spine, and she quickly asked, "How did you know? Where did you find out?"
"I'll send you a video, take a look."
video?
Bo Wei quickly walked back to her seat and took her phone out of her bag.
She stared at her phone, and everyone watched her expression. Her face grew increasingly pale, as if it had turned frost over, or as if she had suffered some kind of blow, and she slowly withered away.
Bo Wei smiled bitterly to herself. It turned out that some people were just destined to be plagued by bad luck, and whatever they worried about would inevitably come knocking on their door.
Could this world possibly grant her a little bit of luck, the kind that comes without a price, because it seems she has nothing left to exchange for it?
