Zhuang Nainai’s eyes were blood-red. A fire burned fiercely within her, and her body shook with anger.
The door opened again. Manager Wang was shocked to see the strained situation in the room. “Wh-what is going on?”
Xue Rong lifted her head high and crossed her arms. She demanded haughtily, “Manager Wang, is this your principal planner? Who becomes physically abusive when she has disagreements with her customers?”
Manager Wang did not bother to ask for the whole story. He smiled apologetically at Xue Rong and placated, “How is that possible?”
He then turned to Zhuang Nainai and admonished. “Zhuang Nainai, stop it!”
Zhuang Nainai froze in her struggles.
Her face was flushed and a layer of tears formed in her eyes.
The side of her face where she was hit swelled red and her ponytail was also loosened from the impact. She somehow managed to look very beautiful with the fierce look in her eyes and the few strands of loose hair flying about her face.
Shi Haoyu stared at her dumbstruck.
Xue Rong caught his admiring look and was enraged. She shouted at him, “Shi Haoyu, how long are you going to hold her arm for? Do you like her that much?”
Shi Haoyu snapped out of his trance and dropped Zhuang Nainai’s arm immediately.
Xue Rong stared at Manager Wang with wide eyes. “So this is your planner? Who publicly seduces the male customer and becomes physically aggressive towards the female customer? What an eye-opener!”
What a distortion of facts!
Zhuang Nainai was about to object when Manager Wang smiled at Xue Rong appeasingly, ignoring the obvious swell on Zhuang Nainai’s face. “Ms. Xue, it’s all Zhuang Nainai’s fault, how about I get her to apologize to you? Please cool down.”
Apologize?
Zhuang Nainai widened her eyes in shock at Manager Wang.
She had long known that Manager Wang was a bootlicker, but she did not expect him to be so unreasonable.
That was exactly what Xue Rong was waiting for. She sat down and crossed her leg in contentment. “I’m a reasonable person. Since we were classmates, Zhuang Nainai, and I know how important this job is to you, just bow to me and apologize. I will forgive you and let it go this time around. How’s that?”
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed.
Bow to her and apologize? Forgive her?
If she had not returned to the Gu family nor married Si Zhengting, she might have done it.
Mother needed to attend a monthly therapy session and see a psychiatrist regularly. The medical expenses were huge. Zhuang Nainai had no savings even after having worked for almost a year.
She could not afford to lose this job.
But now…
Did they still take her to be the poor Zhuang Nainai who could be pushed easily around?
Zhuang Nainai lowered her head and let her hair fall around her face. No one saw the small tug on her lips.
Manager Wang decidedly announced, “Yes, yes, that will do!”
He placed the coffee in Zhuang Nainai’s hands and ordered, “Zhuang Nainai, hurry, go apologize to Ms. Xue!”
He then lowered his voice and warned, “Ms. Xue’s father is the CEO of the Imperial Group Jiahua Company, we can’t afford to offend them! You better know your place!”
He pushed her forward.
Zhuang Nainai stepped in the direction as prompted and faced Xue Rong.
