Her words were akin to adding oil to the fire and caused even more heated discussion among the crowd. All of them were from the sales department and didn’t get along well with Chen Ying. In the past, when Lin Chuchu was in the company, they stood aside and happily watched as Lin Chuchu dealt with Chen Ying. But now, Lin Chuchu had resigned. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. They took on the duty of smearing her. When they saw that Chen Ying was beautiful, they ridiculed her, saying she went under the knife; when they noticed that Chen Ying was doing her work well and had bagged many accomplishments, they taunted her by saying that she had used her messy private life to do her job well.
Qian Jing stood at the front of the crowd and disdainfully said, "A person like you is the least qualified to judge others."
“Why am I not qualified? In the past half month alone, I've earned more just from the last project than your annual salary plus dividends. All of the salaries that your sales department gets are due to the hard work of our design department. How dare you guys have the nerve to gossip about others? Aren’t you afraid that the boss will fire you?"
She had despised them for long. But, she didn’t want to stoop low to their level, so she didn’t bother herself to argue with them. But now they were pushing it too far!
When everyone in the room heard her words, their face became ugly. Qian Jing went ballistic when she listened to her domineering words and pointed at Yuexis's nose, "You have a sugar daddy, so naturally you aren’t afraid of being fired. You home wrecker! Who knows whether it is truly your salary or not? A woman like you should be careful of infectious diseases!"
Yuexi curled up the corners of her mouth, and retorted "How are you so sure that Master Li has contracted some infectious disease? Have you investigated him? No wonder after your multiple visits to Li’s consortium for serval times, he was banned from getting into the Hilton Tower. You really have harbored some evil intentions!"
"You ...".Qian Jing saw red and her chest heaved up and down in rage. She rushed to beat Yuexi.

Few onlookers quickly tried to "persuade" both of them when they saw that fight was about to break. Just then, Liu Chen happened to come out of the boss' office. When he saw this scene, he sneered, "Don’t you have work to do? It seems that work is too easy for you guys!" As soon as they heard his voice, everyone stopped what they were doing and quickly returned to their stations lest they angered him more. Only Qian Jian and Bai Yuexi were left standing there.
As if she saw her savior, Qian Jing pouted and looked at him pitifully, as if she was unfairly treated. She looked to him tearfully and complained, "Manager, Bai Yuexi said that her half-month salary is more than our annual salary plus dividends. I think it's unfair! Other colleagues in the company also feel the same! I won’t complain about how her design department robs our jobs. But she is too arrogant!"
Besides Lin Chuchu, Liu Chen also had an ambiguous relationship with Qian Jing in the sales department. He frowned coldly and criticized, "Bai Yuexi, how can you spread these rumors? Now you’ve caused too many complaints. You should take responsibility for your actions and quickly apologize to Qian Jing!" He could never get over with the fact that Lin Chuchu had public sex with Xu Tianyun. Ever since he knew that Yuexi had something to do with it, he bore a grudge against her but he couldn’t find an opportunity to teach her a lesson. Now that he finally had the chance. How could he easily let go of it?
"Why should I apologize when I'm speaking the truth. Also, Manager Liu Chen, it would be better if you rephrase your words and speak to me more politely.. After all, all those words you said at the banquet are all recorded in this recording pen." Yuexi said as she took out a pen from her bag and waved it in front of them. When Liu Chen saw the pen, his face paled and he stuttered, "What ... what are you talking about?"
Qian Jing also pulled his clothes nervously, panic on her face. "Do you need me to help you to recall it? At the banquet, I seemed to hear two people discuss how to drug Lin Chuchu and plan to get a room to have three do some..."

"Stop it!" Qian Jing quickly interrupted Yuexi with pale face.
"Oh."Yuexi shrugged, now that she was successful in silencing them, she turned around to leave. .
"How much do you want? I will buy that recording pen." She had only two steps when Liu Chen's voice rang from behind. Yuexi curled up her lips and coldly replied without turning back, "One hundred thousand. If you can pay me that amount, I will destroy the pen in front of you and I can assure you that this is the only copy. Believe it or not."
What a rip off! Liu Chen wanted to retort but, when he remembered the recordings, he gritted his teeth and accepted the deal. Instantly, he transferred the amount without delay.. When Yuexi looked at her bank balance, which now had additional 100,000 yuan, her anger simmered down. She happily turned around, went to the storage room to grab the hammer, and smashed the recording pen in front of them. Then, she patted the non-existent dirt on her hands, and turned around elegantly to leave. When he saw that the only evidence was destroyed, Liu Chen quickly left with tail in between his legs.
"Sister Yuexi." A timid voice comes from the stairway.
The moment Bai Yuexi turned her head around, she saw Xu Ziqi standing not far away. Yuexi frowned, while Qian Jing, who wass standing behind her, had an amusing look. "Sister Yuexi, can I talk to you?" Xu Ziqi said with a tinge of tenderness in her voice. When talking to Yuexi, she didn’t dare to look directly at her. Somehow her actions made Yuexi feel very uncomfortable, as if she was bullying a child.
She coldly replied, "I need to work. Do you think it is appropriate for you to come here?"
"Then I will go out and wait for you." She immediately compromised.
"As you wish." Yuexi replied and walked to her office desk. However, Qian Jing smiled and stepped forward, asking politely, "Are you the young miss of the Xu family, Master Li’s fiancée?"
“Hm.” Xu Ziqi unconsciously nodded Seeing her nod, Qian Jing immediately put on her best smile on her face, "How about you wait in our meeting office? I'll prepare some tea for you." Xu Ziqi wanted to agree. However, then she glanced in the direction of Yuexi, and her expression became uncomfortable.She meekly replied “There is no need. I'll go out and wait.”
Then, she immediately ran down the stairs. "Some people are really shameless. I have never seen such a shameless brazen home wrecker, who even dares to openly bully the fiancée." Qian Jing stared fiercely at Yuexi before returning to her seat..Yuexi anxiously thought, does Xu Ziqi really lack consideration? She actually came to the company. Does she think that everything now is not troublesome enough?
Sure enough, everyone in company started to enthusiastically gossip about it for the entire morning. Yuexi felt countless looks secretly drilling into her head from behind. If these looks could kill someone, she would have died hundred times by now.
When it’s time for her to finally get off work, she hurriedly packed her bag to leave. But, she didn’t expect to see Xu Ziqi just after she got to the first floor. She had thought that Xu Ziqi would become impatient and leave.
Yuexi sighed and followed her to a coffee shop. As soon as they sat in the cafe, she straightforwardly asked, "Why are you looking for me?"Xu Ziqi nervously tugged her fingers and bite her lower lip,, "Sister Yuexi, since you are both beautiful and smart, you can have any man you want. But I only have Brother Jue, can you spare him to me?"
She said pitifully with tears in her eyes.Xu Ziqi tugged her fingers and bite her lower lip, "What do you think of him? Can someone just give away his love?"
"Brother Jue and I are childhood sweethearts and we were supposed to get engaged this month. If it weren’t for you… " She says as she started sobbing quietly.
Yuexi hurriedly looked around. Fortunately, there were not many customers in the store. There was only a tall and thin man sitting beside them. From an outsider perspective, it looked like Yuexi was bullying her.. "Even if it weren’t for me, there would have been others. You know very well that Li Fengjue doesn't love you so, you should stop deluding yourself.." Yuexi didn’tt want to entangle with her anymore, so she picked up her bag to leave. But suddenly, the tall man sitting beside them stood up and slapped Yuexi in the face.
