"Take a look for yourself." General Manager Wang threw down a stack of documents. "If someone hadn't put these on my desk, I wouldn't have known you'd become a celebrity."
General Manager Wang turned around and left.
Gu Sisi lifted the documents left by General Manager Wang with a gloomy look on her face. Obviously, someone had prepared them meticulously. They even copied and printed out stuff from the internet.
What a waste of time!
Gu Sisi silently complained. But soon, she was stunned.
There were actually the photos she'd always wanted to delete. A chill ran down her spine. Her whole body shivered, and the pores all over her body stood up.
She quickly flipped through the pages, her fingers trembling slightly. She turned on the computer, and sure enough, there were discussions on the internet.
"I knew a woman like this would attract two men. It turns out she has her own 'tricks'."
"Come on, you don't even have any tricks yourself!"
"Get out of here. You must have been seduced by this woman. Tsk tsk tsk."
...
Gu Sisi randomly clicked on a comment, and it was insinuating about her.
The photos on the internet, when put together with the ones that made the news yesterday, looked extremely ironic.
"The woman caught in a love rivalry turns out to be such a person." Then there were several blurry photos of her looking like she was actively flirting with men.
Similar headlines, similar comments, almost all of them were insults to her.
Gu Sisi trembled, not knowing what to do.
She couldn't focus on her work. She flipped through the pages one by one, looking at them like a masochist, crazily reading the insults about herself.
The phone rang, but Gu Sisi didn't answer.
She continued looking, her eyes never leaving the computer.
Her personal information started to be dug out by some internet celebrities. Even the fact that she'd confessed her love to Wen Xuanyang in college was unearthed.
More and more onlookers joined in, and it became the hottest topic.
Those photos were like a virus, constantly appearing in front of Gu Sisi's eyes.
At first, Gu Sisi felt ashamed, but gradually, she became a bit numb.
"Sister Sisi, why don't you answer the phone?" Yang Qian slipped in from outside.
As soon as she saw Gu Sisi, she froze, then quickly ran to her side. "Sister Sisi, why are you so pale? Are you sick?"
Yang Qian put her hand on Gu Sisi's forehead and then on her own.
"Sister Sisi, your forehead is a bit cold. Are you feeling cold?"
Gu Sisi's back was indeed cold. Hearing Yang Qian's question, she shook her head, her eyes still fixed on the computer screen.
Yang Qian also glanced at it, then quickly blocked the computer.
"Sister Sisi, these are all nonsense. Don't look anymore."
"Get out of the way!" Gu Sisi pulled her aside and stared blankly ahead.
"Sister Sisi!" Yang Qian ran back, only to be pulled aside again by Gu Sisi.
Yang Qian thought this wasn't going to work, so she simply unplugged the computer.
Everything seemed to go quiet.
Gu Sisi had no thoughts in her mind.
"Sister Sisi, don't take their words to heart. I know what kind of person you are." Yang Qian squatted in front of Gu Sisi, with obvious worry on her face.
She didn't expect Sister Sisi to be so affected. She originally thought Sister Sisi would just laugh it off.
"It's all gone. It's good that it's all gone." Gu Sisi murmured softly.
Yang Qian didn't hear clearly. "What? Sister Sisi, what did you say?"
She looked at Gu Sisi with bright eyes.
Gu Sisi seemed to have just woken up from a dream. She stood up and said to Yang Qian, "Yang Qian, go back to work first."
"I came here because I was worried about you." Yang Qian couldn't rest easy.
"I'm fine. Don't worry." Gu Sisi muttered.
Yang Qian nodded. "Yes, you're fine. You must be fine. Don't look at those things anymore. It'll affect your mood."
After Yang Qian's persuasion, Gu Sisi seemed to feel better.
But when the two of them went to the cafeteria, they still heard quite a few whispers.
"This is the protagonist on the internet."
"Sure is. She's supposed to be our future boss's wife."
"That's not certain. Who knows which man she'll end up with? Maybe the men won't even want her."
"Shh, keep your voice down."
...
Whispers kept reaching Gu Sisi and Yang Qian's ears.
Yang Qian rolled her eyes. Could you be any louder? It's like you're afraid others won't hear!
Looking at Gu Sisi with her head down, saying nothing, Yang Qian's eyes were full of tension.
"Don't take their words to heart. They're just talking nonsense. They don't know anything. They're just barking like dogs. Once it's clarified, they'll be smiling and greeting you, maybe even trying to curry favor with you. Just ignore them."
Yang Qian tried her best to persuade.
But Gu Sisi just replied with a faint "um" without even raising her head.
This really worried Yang Qian. She grabbed her hair, not knowing what to do.
"Can I sit here?" A haughty voice sounded.
Yang Qian looked over and was stunned. Isn't this her former superior?
She said coldly, "Sure, sit down."
It's not like the seat has her name on it. Why does she even ask?
"I heard something really interesting today. You must know about it too." Peng Die said familiarly, as if she was among a group of friends, sharing what she'd seen and heard.
"I don't know."
"Hey, the internet says there's someone who can date two men at the same time without getting caught. Isn't that funny?"
"Not funny." Yang Qian stuffed a peanut into her mouth.
Yang Qian's confrontational attitude couldn't be ignored by Peng Die. She immediately frowned.
"Then what do you think is funny?" She raised her eyebrows, exuding an aura as if trying to suppress Yang Qian. But times had changed.
Yang Qian rolled her eyes. "I think the most ridiculous thing is a fly that buzzes around all day."
"You..." Peng Die got a new impression of the person in front of her. She looked at Gu Sisi and gradually understood.
Yang Qian must have been influenced by Gu Sisi, which was why she'd changed so quickly. Before long, she might even dare to ride roughshod over her.
Peng Die's mouth was full of sarcasm. "Sure enough, you're a bunch of like-minded friends, colluding with each other!"
"Bang!" Yang Qian slammed down her bowl. "Who are you talking about?"
"Whoever it is, they know it in their heart."
"Oh, it seems you're quite self - aware." Yang Qian's smile turned strange. "There's actually someone who scolds themselves. Amazing, amazing. I'm really impressed."
"You!" Peng Die stood up and pointed at Yang Qian.
Yang Qian also stood up, holding her head high. "What about me? Do you want to hit me?"
Peng Die looked at the little smart - aleck in front of her and laughed. She said harshly, "I won't lower myself to your level, you internet celebrity with a messy private life!"
The last sentence was directed at Gu Sisi.
"You can't say anything nice!" Yang Qian retorted.
Everyone in the cafeteria turned to look. Peng Die, who originally wanted to scold back, scanned the crowd, then swayed her body, crossed her arms, and said arrogantly, "I'm sure everyone knows what's going on. Do you still want to play dumb?"
