Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Wow, why are so many pretty girls coming in these days?

Is the boss planning a matchmaking event?

This Shen Yu is no ordinary person. Just heard from HR that Manager Tao is even considering replacing Jiang Minmin with Shen Yu as the manager at the culture company.

Seriously? Jiang Minmin just arrived a day ago, if she gets replaced, wouldn't that be humiliating on a grand scale?

And isn't Jiang Minmin supposed to be the boss's lover?

Yeah, yesterday she was boasting to people in her department about some scandalous story involving her and the boss.

Just listen to her bragging.

The current situation is clear; the boss's current girlfriend is Li Shiqi, but no one knows about Shen Yu yet. Anyway, her position is definitely higher than Jiang Minmin's.

As for that Jiang Minmin, she obviously isn't much different from those other crazy girls in our company. She just wants to cling to the boss, but he certainly doesn't fancy her.

"I heard she used to be Manager Tao's roommate, maybe Manager Tao just helped her get a position here."

Where there are people, there is gossip, especially in a company full of young people like Zhou Yuwen's. Zhou Yuwen himself is a great hot topic, and the endless stream of women provides ample material for gossip.

The main thing is, although Jiang Minmin has been in the company for just a day, she's a very ambitious girl and has already started claiming to be Zhou Yuwen's woman.

While chatting with colleagues, she even ambiguously suggested that Zhou Yuwen pursued her first when he was a freshman, but she wasn't keen on a cougar-cub relationship, so she didn't pay him any mind. Later, unexpectedly, Zhou Yuwen rose to prominence quickly.

Then a colleague asked, "What happened later? Was there a story between you two?"

At that point, Jiang Minmin seemed a bit embarrassed and said, "Well, if there wasn't a story, do you think I'd be here?"

Wow~!

Hearing Jiang Minmin say that, everyone immediately understood.

Now, with the gossip from the HR side spreading, people instantly started to doubt Jiang Minmin's claims. If there was really something between her and Zhou Yuwen, how could Manager Tao replace her so easily?

"Besides, our boss is a billionaire, how could he let his woman wear knock-offs?"

"What, do you mean Jiang Minmin wears knock-offs?"

"Didn't you notice?"

"Uh, I didn't notice, which piece are you talking about?"

"All of them!"

The more they talked, the clearer the perception of Jiang Minmin became, and the happier they were chatting.

Until a cold voice sounded behind them: "Does the company pay you to chat?"

That voice, even though it had just started, made the gathered colleagues jump in surprise.

The speaker was none other than Qu Jing, known as the cold-faced beauty of the company. Everyone knew she was dubbed Zhou Yuwen's fiercest hound. Sometimes she cares about things even Zhou Yuwen doesn't mind, fiercely protecting his interests.

Colleagues were really terrified of Qu Jing. Now seeing her coming over, they scattered like birds and insects, but surprisingly, Qu Jing called them back.

"Stop! Anyone who runs will lose three months of full attendance bonuses."

"Uh!"

With those words, everyone stopped, not daring to run anymore.

Qu Jing walked coldly past them, examining each one like she was memorizing their appearance, before asking, "What were you chatting about?"

Everyone glanced at each other, a cold sweat running down their backs, yet no one dared to speak. They all knew the relation between Jiang Minmin and Tao Tian, which meant Tao Tian's roommate was Qu Jing's roommate.

Even if Jiang Minmin wasn't Zhou Yuwen's woman, with Tao Tian and Qu Jing, two of the company's higher-ups supporting her, it's not our business to gossip.

"I asked what you were talking about!" Qu Jing asked loudly.

Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore and blurted, "Manager, we're sorry, we didn't intend to gossip about your friend; we were just chatting idly."

"My friend?" Qu Jing asked curiously.

"Yeah, the new girl, Jiang Minmin. At first, we thought she was the boss's..." As the words reached his lips, he saw Qu Jing frowning and quickly corrected, "No, no, she's your and Manager Tao's roommate, we won't talk nonsense anymore."

The subordinate employees dropped the topic, but Qu Jing understood what they meant, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "You thought she had something with the boss?"

"No, absolutely not."

Qu Jing snorted coldly, "Don't let your imagination run wild, she has nothing to do with the boss."

"Yes, yes, we understand!"

Qu Jing always maintained a stern face in the company. She only intended to clarify that Minmin had nothing with Zhou Yuwen, but seeing their expressions, she added, "Also, she's not my good friend."

"I dislike her the most."

As Qu Jing said this, she did not hide her disdain for Jiang Minmin. She left after speaking.

Leaving a group of employees glancing at each other, after a while, they finally reacted.

Could it be that Manager Qu wasn't lying?

Does she really dislike Jiang Minmin?

How did this Jiang Minmin get into the company then!?

Goodness, turns out she's just a random employee with no background, here to muddle around!

This sparked even more gossip among the employees.

Forget the surging gossip in the company.

Over in Zhou Yuwen's office, a prime-time emotional drama was underway, with Li Shiqi tearfully wiping her eyes.

Zhou Yuwen stood nearby, awkward beyond measure, wanting to comfort Li Shiqi but unsure of what role he should take to do so.

He thought, sigh, it's best to cut through the mess with a swift decision.

Just earlier, Zhou Yuwen had told Li Shiqi everything that had happened with Shen Yu last night.

He could have not mentioned it, keeping both sides in the dark, but Zhou Yuwen was never the type to abandon things once started; he felt he had to explain it clearly.

It was just a night when Shen Yu stayed over at his place, then as you know, Linlin and Yanyan have been living at his place.

He honestly hadn't planned to have anything happen with Shen Yu.

But due to some unexpected events.

So...

Zhou Yuwen, known for his logical precision, seemed somewhat muddled while recounting the incident.

Fortunately, a suddenly awakened Li Shiqi understood right after Zhou Yuwen finished speaking, her eyes turning red quickly, "So, about last night..."

Zhou Yuwen sighed, saying, "Shiqi, please don't cry yet."

"I didn't want it to be like this, but the accident happened too fast, I know this is very unfair to you, but I need to be responsible for Shen Yu; I can't just deny it after it's happened..."

Li Shiqi, feeling aggrieved, asked Zhou Yuwen, "So, does this mean you can just break up with me?"

Zhou Yuwen quickly said, "We aren't exactly breaking up."

"Nothing actually happened between us..."

"But if I'd gone out with you last night, wouldn't something have happened?" Li Shiqi asked, her voice angry and changed.

Zhou Yuwen said, "But the point is, there are no 'ifs'. Shiqi, I also don't want this, but there's no way around it. I don't want to wrong you, nor do I want to wrong Shen Yu, so this is the only way."

While saying these things, Zhou Yuwen didn't dare to meet Li Shiqi's eyes.

But Li Shiqi kept looking at Zhou Yuwen with reddened eyes, and even after he finished speaking, her eyes were still filled with tears. After a long time, she shuffled her lips and finally said, "Then, if I don't compete with Shen Yu, wouldn't it be solved?"
