Chapter 93

After leaving Bright Wisdom Kindergarten, Chu Tianhe did not go home. Since Yao Yao had insisted on going to see her aunt, he hailed a car and took her to Senmao Group, intending to look for Qin Xiaomeng.

Of course, Chu Tianhe also wanted to see what Senmao Group was really like. After what had happened the night before, he was deeply uneasy about the company’s culture. Qin Xiaomeng had only just stepped out of school and had not yet learned how cruel the world could be. If he could help her avoid a few detours, then so be it.

“Oh? Look who’s here.”

“Qin Xiaomeng, one of the two famed beauties of Jiangzhou.”

“What beauty? In my eyes, she’s just a vase.”

“That’s too polite. To me, she’s nothing but a sly flirt. She pretends to be pure and saintly on the outside, but beneath that she’s shamelessly provocative.”

The moment Qin Xiaomeng appeared at the company, the whispers had already begun. Of course, all of this had been stirred up by the female coworkers who had drunk with her the night before.

Her very existence had long been a source of jealousy for many women. Though most of them had never even met her, they had heard her name more or less. In the past, when she was out of reach, they could only nurse a little sour resentment and move on. But now that they were coworkers, the flame of jealousy burned hotter by the day.

“What are you talking about?”

Qin Xiaomeng would not swallow such slander in silence. Her temperament was nothing like Qin Xiaorou’s; she was not the kind of woman who would meekly endure being bullied. If someone crossed her, she would strike back at once, returning like for like.

She strode up to one of the female coworkers, her brows arched in fury, and snapped, “If you have something to say, then say it openly. How exactly am I a flirt? You’d better make yourself clear!”

Her sharp rebuke immediately drew countless gazes. The men looked at her with naked greed, their eyes roaming over her without restraint.

The women, meanwhile, stared at Qin Xiaomeng with jealousy and venom.

Even though she had done nothing at all, she had already become a thorn in their side.

“So what if we say you are?”

At that very moment, before the female coworker could answer, a woman’s voice suddenly rang out.

Qin Xiaomeng was already choking with anger and had nowhere to vent it. Turning her head, she saw a woman who instantly set her teeth on edge: Li Ruofei.

She was Wu Peng’s personal female secretary. After Wu Peng suddenly died of a heart attack, she had temporarily taken over as general manager of the Wu Family Group.

Li Ruofei had long disliked Qin Xiaomeng. Now that she had come to Senmao Group to discuss business and happened to run into her, how could she possibly pass up the chance to put Qin Xiaomeng down?

“A few days ago, you were still trying to seduce our Young Master Wu. Then he suddenly had a heart attack, and you failed.”

“So what? Now you’ve turned your sights and come to Senmao Group?”

“What a pity. Chairman Wang of Senmao Group has a daughter, so your chances are gone.”

“Could it be that you, little wench, are not picky at all, and pursue both men and women? Or is the real target you set your sights on Chairman Wang himself?”

“Goodness me, if I remember right, Chairman Wang is already over seventy, isn’t he?”

“Qin Xiaomeng, you really don’t discriminate when it comes to men.”

Li Ruofei’s words instantly set off a storm of murmurs. Every eye in the room turned to Qin Xiaomeng.
