The people who were standing around and chatting were colleagues from the venue design department.

  In the past, when Team Leader Zhang had bullied her, they didn’t react so explosively with their sense of justice!

  Some people were talking animatedly. However, when they suddenly heard the sound of the door creaking open behind them, they turned around and saw Zhuang Nainai. They immediately looked awkward and halted their conversation. Then, they stared at Zhuang Nainai without any sense of embarrassment. Instead, they even looked at her scornfully before turning and walking away.

  Zhuang Nainai stood there insolently, her gaze sharp as she addressed them, “Why are you leaving? Aren’t you going to continue with your conversation?”


  A few women halted their footsteps. One of them turned back and said, “Zhuang Nainai, why are you still being so insolent? That’s right, we were talking behind your back. So what? Did you think that you had the right to plagiarize?”


  Zhuang Nainai sneered. “Me? Plagiarizing? Did you see me do so with your own eyes? Or do you have some kind of proof that I did? Accusing me of plagiarizing without any evidence is something I can sue you for on the grounds of defamation!”


  After Zhuang Nainai brought up defamation, the group of people didn’t dare to speak carelessly any longer. One person in the group was unwilling to let her gain the upper hand in the situation. She said, “We didn’t single you out as the person who plagiarized, why are you getting so worked up?”


  “Wow, you’re denying that you were gossiping behind my back!” Zhuang Nainai reached her hand into her pocket and whipped out her cell phone. “Luckily I had the presence of mind to record your conversation, or else I wouldn’t have any proof!”


  That person grew anxious, “You… how could you do this! How rude of you to do so!”


  “It’s rude for me to record your conversations so as to protect my own reputation? Then what about you people, gossiping behind one’s back and denying that you did so to their faces? Isn’t that utterly shameless?” Zhuang Nainai retorted.

  That person’s body quaked with anger. “Zhuang Nainai, don’t think that you can get away with what you did because you’re eloquent. The truth regarding the design drafts will be uncovered by the company sooner or later! Let’s see if you’ll be just as arrogant as you are then!”


  Another colleague chimed in, “Yes, the Supreme Being is watching your every action! Zhuang Nainai, we’ll wait for your reputation to reach rock bottom — no, your reputation is already at rock bottom. We’ll wait for the day where you pay the price, legally, for what you’ve done!”


  Zhuang Nainai lifted her head. “My conscience is clear. Since you’re so sure that I will face punishment under the law, how about we bet on it?”


  One person within the group was curious enough to ask, “What bet?”


  “Let’s bet on whether I actually plagiarized the drafts! Are you willing to bet $1,000,000 on it?!”


  Everyone’s expressions changed drastically after hearing what she had to say.

  Zhuang Nainai immediately grinned toothily as she said, “I’m afraid you all don’t have $1,000,000 to spare. Let’s reduce the wager. How about $500,000 instead?”


  One of the persons in the group spat, “You’re crazy!”


  “What, didn’t you say that I plagiarized the design drafts? If you don’t have $500,000, how about $100,000?”


  This group of colleagues could not bear to talk to her any longer. They turned and stomped off.

  Zhuang Nainai stood behind them, shouting after them, “Hey, you don’t even have the confidence to believe in yourselves and place your bets against me! You bunch of weaklings! Also, if you want to gossip behind someone’s back, you should check if that person is behind you before you do so!”


  The group of colleagues sped up, as though if they walked any slower, she would prevent them from leaving.

  At the same time, the doors of the elevator burst open with a “Ding!”


  Mi Nuo held her bag, her head lowered and her expression blank as she walked out of the elevator. She suddenly saw something and jerked her head up violently, and she saw… Mr. Si?

  Mi Nuo’s eyes lit up. Her designation was the most senior on the 18th floor, so if Mr. Si was here, he was definitely here to look for her.

  Mi Nuo hurriedly fixed her hair, then smiled as she walked toward Si Zhengting.
