ll off the wooden board bed.Rong Zhaonan was quick-witted and agile. With a stride, he rushed forward, steadying Ning Yuan, and also helping her hold onto the tattered bedding that almost slipped from...Ruan Bai glanced at Xu Lei's photos on her phone.
She suddenly smiled: "I thought it was something important, but it's just a few photos. Director Xu, the investigation isn't over yet, so what makes you think the people in the photos are me With how advanced photo editing technology is now, it's easy to just photoshop someone's head onto another person's body. Besides, all the so-called evidence in this article is full of holes. Do you really believe that Are you a three-year-old"
Xu Lei stared at her phone, unable to react. Before she could retort, Ruan Bai said again, "Director Xu, haven't you noticed something All the public accounts that reposted this article have been shut down. Can you still click on the article link now No! Do you think why this is happening It's because this article is spreading rumors and defamation. Our President Mu has already ordered a strict investigation. All authors who spread this false article will be held legally responsible."
Li Ni glared fiercely at Xu Lei, her eyes like knives also glancing at the male colleague.
As soon as Li Ni finished speaking, Xu Lei felt a jolt in her heart, and she felt a little uneasy.
She heard from Director Xia that at the engagement banquet, Ruan Bai publicly broke off the engagement, making Mu's family a laughingstock. She thought that with Mu always being so cold and ruthless, Ruan Bai would soon be out of the picture, and Director Xia would take her place. Therefore, she shamelessly humiliated her.
Xu Lei had never thought that Mu Zong would have such a deep obsession with this Ruan Bai. Even after such a scandal, he still defended her. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have come to humiliate her.
My male colleague was also sweating profusely.
He is somewhat handsome and quite talented in design, winning the admiration of several female colleagues. However, he looks down on women who are too forward.
He always thought Ruan Bai was the kind of woman who was pure and innocent. He never expected that this woman he once idolized as a goddess would be such a disgrace in private. This huge contrast made him feel like he could take advantage of Ruan Bai at will. He even wanted to go back and give her some money, just to taste what she had to offer.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Bai had fallen so low, yet Mr. Mu was still backing her up behind the scenes. This gave the male colleagues a bad feeling and made them regret speaking out of turn.
After all the hard work to get here, I can't let a few words ruin everything!
The other colleagues who were watching the scene with amusement now felt a sense of relief, thankful that they hadn't spoken up.
Regardless, Mu Zong is still Ruan Bai's golden master. Before things are clear, they should keep their mouths shut properly.
Otherwise, disaster will strike, and you won't even know how you die.
Although Xu Lei was scared inside, she was still somewhat unwilling to accept defeat. The sarcastic and insulting voices had obviously lessened: "Hmph, putting on a show! I heard your family is poor, so it's understandable that you would do such things abroad. Ruan Bai, have you ever thought about continuing your part-time job I can introduce some wealthy clients to you later!"
After finishing her words, Xu Lei's gaze shifted to the male colleagues in the office who were watching the commotion. "In the future, if you have any needs, you don't need to look for takeout outside. Our department has someone who does that kind of work. They are good-looking and well-proportioned, definitely cleaner and more affordable than ordering takeout!"
After Xu Lei finished speaking, the office was filled with laughter, naturally from a few female colleagues who were jealous of Ruan Bai.
Some of them arrived before Ruan Bai, and in terms of both appearance and work ability, Ruan Bai surpassed them all. This newcomer posed a formidable challenge to their career advancement. Now that they see their rival in such a humiliating and embarrassing situation, they naturally take pleasure in her misfortune.
Male colleagues stared at Ruan Bai ambiguously, but dared not speak much, fearing that speaking too much would bring trouble.
Only Li Tao stood up and retorted to Xu Lei with conviction: "Director Xu, do you really think that report is factual If it were true, why would it be censored As for Ruan Bai's character, I believe the colleagues present here, even if they don't know everything about her, can get a general idea. Besides, to judge someone based on a few PS photos seems childish, don't you think"
Xu Lei, hearing Li Tao defend Ruan Bai, became even angrier. Her mockery grew colder: "Li Tao, you're defending Ruan Bai so much You wouldn't normally seem to be that close to her. Could it be that you're also..."
Ruan Bai heavily slammed the design draft onto the table, his face expressionless: "Enough! Xu Lei, don't push it too far! You have no idea what others have experienced, so you recklessly spread rumors. Don't you know that defamation is a legal responsibility According to Article 246 of the Criminal Law, publicly insulting others or fabricating facts to defame others, in serious cases, shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than three years, detention, restriction, or deprivation of political rights... Minister Xu, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, please bring it up directly instead of using this way to slander me. It's working hours now, and I don't want to waste time discussing pointless things with you. If you continue to make trouble, I will personally contact a lawyer, and we'll see you in court!"
Ruan Bai spoke each word with power and clarity, her voice ringing through the room. Her chilling aura was even comparable to Mu Shaoling's, successfully silencing Xu Lei.
"Hmph, these words weren't said by me at all. It was Rita who said them. What does that have to do with me!" Xu Lei glared resentfully at Ruan Bai and, looking at the employees watching the spectacle, she roared: "What are you all staring at You're all dead people! Get back to your desks and get some work done!"
Then, she slunk back to her office.
After Xu Lei left, no other employee dared to whisper again and began working.
Although Ruan Bai was so angry her head ached, she knew that as a pregnant woman, she couldn't get angry, as it could easily have a negative impact on the fetus.
In addition to Zhou Xiaosu and Li Ni's consolation, Ruan Bai's mood quickly calmed down, and she began to look over the architectural design examination materials.
Prior to this, she did not apply for a contractor's license because she had been studying continuously for her undergraduate and master's degrees. Although she obtained a master's degree in engineering economics, she had not worked for two years and had not been involved in architectural project construction management for a year, which did not meet the application requirements at all.
Now, she has been working at T Group for almost a year. Although her main role is in architectural design, her work also involves construction project execution. In a couple of months, she will be eligible to become a Level 1 Construction Engineer.
This certificate is highly valued and not easy to obtain. Out of millions of architectural designers nationwide, only over four hundred thousand hold a registered architect license.
To advance her career at the T Group, she must obtain a Level 1 Construction License.
……
After work.
Mu Shao Ling sent Ruan Bai back home and gently kissed her cheek: "I'm sorry, I have to go out for a while. You and the children eat dinner first, I'll be back soon."
Ruǎnbái knew she was going on a "date" with Lín Níng. Even though her heart ached unbearably, she still straightened his suit and forced a smile: "Okay, come back early." do something”The little agent is going to use beauty as a ploy, making a big sacrifice.How could Ning Yuan possibly know that she was being treated as a sinister 'little spy'She raised her eyes and s...
