“At that time, Ye Meng hit her to the extent that her nose bled. That’s why she couldn’t stop me. I’m willing to take
full responsibility,” Ning Ran defended her friend.
“Now we’re talking about how to pull through this crisis, so whoever takes the blame doesn’t really matter. The
company will evaluate the losses caused by this incident. We’ll consider whether to terminate Ms. Ding’s contract as
well. Ms. Ding, you may leave now, as we’re going to have an internal discussion,” the CEO said.
Letting out a sigh, Ning Ran nodded. “Alright, I’ll take my leave now.”
Cheng Xiangyun and Wang Xiaoou came out of the meeting room after her. The three appeared dispirited.
“From my personal point of view, knowing Ye Meng’s character, this isn’t your fault. I support you,” Wang Xiaoou
consoled her.
“Thanks, Ou. I’m sorry. I’ve made things difficult for you in front of the management.”
Wang Xiaoou smiled warmly. “No worries, they won’t fire me, since I’m the top talent agent.”
Hearing that, Cheng Xiangyun heaved a sigh.
Unlike Wang Xiaoou, she was a new talent agent. Thus, she would probably be the first to get fired.
Wang Xiaoou seemed to have read her thoughts and worries. “Don’t worry, you won’t be fired too, because it
doesn’t make any difference. Ever since you joined the company, the management has put in a lot of resources to
train you. And you have yet to contribute to the company, so the bosses certainly won’t fire you.”
Wang Xiaoou’s words lifted her mood instantly.
Right then, the elevator door opened.
Nervousness spiked in their hearts the second they saw the two men stepping out of the elevator.
It was Nan Chen, and Jiang Zhe trailed behind him.
“Mr. Chen,” Wang Xiaoou greeted him in panic.
Ignoring her, the man turned to Jiang Zhe and said, “Go ahead and join the meeting.”
With that, Jiang Zhe walked away to the meeting room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis is interesting. The big boss is here, but he’s not joining the meeting and asks his assistant to attend it instead.
Why did he come over then?
Wang Xiaoou was fidgeting anxiously.
Is the big boss here to pick on me?
The man walked over to Ning Ran. “Did you slap someone?”
Looking down with guilt, Ning Ran nodded slightly.
“Actually, this incident...”
Before Cheng Xiangyun could finish talking, Nan Chen shot her a piercing stare. She cringed and bit her tongue
right away.
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault,” Ning Ran mumbled, looking like a kid who was caught red-handed.
“Did she bully you?” he asked again.
“Not only did she humiliate me, but she slapped Xiangyun until her nose bled too. Yet, she refused to stop and tried
to slap her again. I couldn’t help but slap her in a fit of anger. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have done that,” Ning Ran
replied.
“Did she hit you?” the man questioned.
“She didn’t hit me. Yes, I did slap her, but she slapped Xiangyun first!” The woman defended herself.
“What have you done wrong?” Nan Chen asked her.
“I should’ve called the police instead of getting physical with her,” Ning Ran said conclusively.
“Do you still remember what I told you before?” he asked.
How can you expect me to know what you’re referring to when you’ve said so much to me?
“What are you talking about?”
“What did I tell you to do when you get bullied?” The man reminded her.
“An eye for an eye. You said this, not me,” the woman answered in an aggrieved tone.
“Yes, an eye for an eye. If anyone bullies you, get even with her. What have you done wrong then?” Nan Chen said.
I don’t understand. What does Poker Face mean? What have I done wrong then? What answer does he expect from
me?
“I...” Ning Ran was tongue-tied.
“Why didn’t you slap her earlier instead of letting her keep bullying you? Why did you apologize to her when you’ve
done nothing wrong?” Nan Chen asked coldly.
Wang Xiaoou’s jaw dropped at his words.
The big boss doesn’t blame Ning Ran at all. What’s with all the interrogation then? I thought this would be the end
of me, but it isn’t!
Lifting her head, Ning Ran stared blankly at the man in front of her.
Hold on. Did he mean what he said? Is he really not blaming me? Or did he say that to test me?
“What are you looking at? Don’t you agree with what I said?” Nan Chen scolded.
“No, no, no... I totally agree,” Ning Ran answered hurriedly.
“Were you there at that time?” The man turned his head to look at Cheng Xiangyun all of a sudden.
She quickly answered him, “Yes, I was there. In the beginning, Ye Meng mocked Ran that she’s a janitor and
humiliated her. After that, she started scolding Ran. I couldn’t stand it anymore and talked back to her. Then she
slapped me. Ran saw it and slapped her back. I’m sorry, Mr. Chen. My nose was bleeding at that time, that’s why I
couldn’t stop Ran. I know I was wrong, but I just couldn’t bear to see Ran get bullied.”
“What should you do if this kind a situation happens again?” Nan Chen asked in a frigid tone.
“I’ll stop Ran immediately, so she won’t get into trouble,” Cheng Xiangyun promptly answered.
“No.” The man’s voice grew colder.
Cheng Xiangyun was dumbfounded.
I’m not Jiang Zhe. I can’t read the big boss’ mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNan Chen’s denial rendered her speechless.
“Mr. Chen, what should I do then? Please tell me,” she asked timidly.
“You should help her hit the bully back. Do your best to help her win the fight. Never allow her to suffer.”
Hearing her boss’ answer, Cheng Xiangyun stared at him with her mouth hanging open.
Did he just say that? Or am I hallucinating?
Wang Xiaoou was secretly laughing on the inside. What an eye-opening experience. Even the godlike big boss would
say such ridiculous words. As the top talent agent, I’m certain that this scandal Ye Meng created will not have much
impact on Ning Ran. The big boss absolutely dotes on her.
“Yes, I got it,” Cheng Xiangyun replied swiftly.
“I’ll double your salary. Keep it up,” Nan Chen declared.
Am I hallucinating again?
Not only can I keep my job, but my salary will double too? Is this what people call a blessing in disguise?
Wang Xiaoou felt a pang of regret in her heart. If I had known that the big boss is so unprincipled and doting, I
wouldn’t have gone on a business trip. If I’ve helped Ning Ran in the fight, he’ll probably triple my salary. I’ve made
a mistake.
Isn’t Sir Chen being too unscrupulous? Will it affect the company negatively? On second thought, he has the final
say. It is whatever he says it is, so I don’t need to worry about the aftermath. Even more so, Sir Chen doesn’t give a
damn.
“Thank you, Sir Chen. Thank you, thank you so much...”
Elated, Cheng Xiangyun couldn’t stop thanking her boss.
I thought I would lose my job. I can’t believe that I can actually keep my job with a pay raise. Oh my God! This is too
good to be true!
“Let’s go,” Nan Chen said while turning around. After taking a few steps, he looked back and found Ning Ran
standing rooted to the spot. With an icy expression, the man urged her, “What are you waiting for?”
“I...” Ning Ran immediately trailed after him.
