When they saw Su Qingwen again, they looked at each other, embarrassment written all over their faces.
"What were you talking about?" Su Qingwen tightened her fingers and stared fearlessly into their eyes. She had a clear conscience and had never done anything wrong. Why should she be described with such offensive words?
The leader was Vivian, an old-timer in the company. She often took advantage of her seniority to bully new employees. She was extremely dissatisfied that Su Qingwen had climbed up so fast. Now, Su Qingwen actually dared to stand up to them? How ridiculous!
Vivian stepped forward, sneering at Su Qingwen. "What? Are you ashamed of your own shameless deeds? Su Qingwen, look at yourself. You've got no curves. How dare you try to cling to others? Do you think you can snag a rich man just because you rode in a Maserati?"
Hearing this, Su Qingwen felt her anger about to burst out of her chest. She gritted her teeth and stared back at Vivian. "You need evidence when you spout nonsense! You say I'm a gold digger. Where's the evidence?"
"Of course there's evidence!" Vivian raised her eyes and pretended to be serious. "This morning, wasn't there a man who drove a luxury car and dropped you off downstairs of the company? Su Qingwen, do you think everyone else is blind? Can't they see your dirty deeds? And you got promoted right after you came back. It can't be just a coincidence, can it?"
What was actually a very normal thing seemed extremely disgusting in their eyes. Su Qingwen took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She clenched her fists and looked at the woman in front of her. "I'll only say this once. I can tell you clearly that I got promoted because I personally tested the company's game."
"As for being driven by a luxury car, it's my personal freedom and has nothing to do with others. I've never used my body to get ahead." Su Qingwen hated it most when others maliciously speculated about her with such disgusting thoughts. She tightened her fingers and said to Vivian.
"Come on, I don't believe it. Su Qingwen, your words can only fool kids." Vivian sneered disdainfully.
"Whatever. You're such a vicious person that whatever you think is bound to be vicious." Su Qingwen rolled her eyes at her and then gave Vivian a push.
Vivian never expected that, with her "status" in the company, someone would dare to treat her like this. She turned pale with anger. Then she saw a cup of coffee on the table. Without thinking, she picked it up and threw it at Su Qingwen.
"Damn it!" Su Qingwen was quick - witted and dodged, taking a step back just in time to avoid the attack.
But Vivian wasn't so lucky. She had used too much force, and her body fell to the ground uncontrollably. All the coffee spilled on herself.
Unfortunately, she was wearing a white shirt today. It was stained with coffee, looking all patchy and really funny.
Su Qingwen blinked. She didn't react at first, but then she couldn't help holding her stomach and laughing. "Vivian, you're really a joke! You're just like the saying 'try to steal a chicken but end up losing your rice'!"
"Ah!" Vivian was like a ruffled chicken. She let out a scream, got up from the ground, and then rushed madly towards Su Qingwen. She grabbed Su Qingwen's clothes without a word. "Su Qingwen, you bitch! You're the one who made me look bad!"
"Hey, are you crazy?" Su Qingwen rolled her eyes so hard it seemed they'd turn to the sky. She had done nothing, so why should she be blamed?
"You're the one who spilled the coffee on me!" Vivian snarled, with a hint of coldness in her eyes. She just wanted to pin all the blame on Su Qingwen and see how she could still stay in the company.
Soon, the department supervisor rushed over. Looking at the chaotic tea - room, he sneered and asked, "Su Qingwen, what on earth are you trying to do?"
"This has nothing to do with me." Su Qingwen's mouth twitched constantly, and there was confusion in her eyes. She felt like she was being wrongly accused.
"Supervisor, look at her. She's just a new employee who became the president's assistant, and now she acts all high - and - mighty." Vivian stared at Su Qingwen gritted her teeth.
"Su Qingwen, you've been too arrogant lately. Go back and reflect on yourself!" The supervisor had always been nice to Vivian. He would believe whatever Vivian said.
Su Qingwen felt extremely wronged. She clenched her fists, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Who did you just say should reflect?" At this moment, Hua Yueye's voice came from outside.
Su Qingwen was startled and looked back.
She saw him descend into her world like a god. The man had handsome features, and his dark eyes were like stars in winter, looking extremely charming.
When he walked in, everyone's eyes turned to him. Vivian blinked, not knowing who he was. She nervously tightened her fingers.
"Who are you?" Even the supervisor had never seen Hua Yueye before. He squinted his eyes and took a step back, asking suspiciously.
Hua Yueye sneered and gave him a sharp look. "You're probably too low - ranked to have seen me. But judging from your work efficiency and your attitude towards employees, you've probably made no contribution to the company. Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come anymore."
"What?" The supervisor stared at him in shock, his eyes full of disbelief. Then he suddenly realized that Hua Yueye must be their boss.
"Are you the president?" Vivian's heart was pounding. She looked at Hua Yueye nervously, took a step towards him, and said, "It's all a misunderstanding. It was just a joke between me and Su Qingwen. I didn't do anything to her."
"Really?" Hua Yueye curled his lips into a sneer. He pulled Su Qingwen into his arms and said domineeringly, "I've heard recently that Su Qingwen is being kept by someone. Well, I'm the one who dropped her off this morning. Does anyone have a problem with that?"
"Ah?" Vivian's face turned ashen. Her expression froze, and she stared at them embarrassedly, her body trembling slightly. How could this be? Her boss wasn't an old man but a handsome man like a model, and he even took a fancy to Su Qingwen?
"It's not like that." Vivian lowered her head, not knowing how to explain.
