Fang Chuoqi looked Lu Haiqiao up and down as she walked to her seat under her colleague’s gaze. Her lips curled into a malicious smile.
She stepped forward and placed one hand on the table to stop Lu Haiqiao from sitting down. “You must have spent a lot of effort to please your sugar daddy last night. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come out so quickly.
“Speaking of which, your sugar daddy is really powerful. The assault case isn’t a small crime. Even if someone settles it for you, it doesn’t mean that you’re innocent.
“So let’s wait for the boss to talk to you. He’s such a prideful person. Do you think he’ll keep you at the magazine agency?
“Maybe you have the ability to get your sugar daddy to settle the boss, or if you..
At this point, the whispers in the office suddenly disappeared. The people gathered in twos and threes returned to their seats, not even daring to raise their heads.
However, Fang Chuoqi didn’t feel anything. She still arrogantly stretched out her other hand. When her index finger pointed at Lu Haiqiao, she even moved her finger exaggeratedly.
“You can settle the boss yourself. As for how to do that, I’m sure we all know, right?”
As soon as she finished speaking, a deep voice came from behind. “You’ve made yourself clear. What method is she going to use to deal with me?”
Hearing this, Fang Chuoqi was shocked.
She turned around stiffly and saw the manager standing not far behind her. Her expression immediately changed from sarcasm to flattery.
“Good morning, Mr. Song. Have you had breakfast? If not, what do you want to eat? I’ll prepare it immediately!”
The manager was Mr. Song. He was in his fifties and of average height. He had a middle-aged protruding belly.
He glanced at Fang Chuoqi coldly before his gaze landed on Lu Haiqiao.
“Lu Haiqiao, come to my office.”
“Okay.” Before entering the office, Lu Haiqiao took out her phone and quickly sent a WeChat message.
The office door was slammed shut.
It was obvious that the boss wasn’t in a good mood today.
Some gossipy colleagues tried to eavesdrop. The office had a good soundproofing system, and they could only hear a few incoherent words.
When Mr. Song closed the door and turned around, he saw Lu Haiqiao taking the initiative to sit down at his desk. His expression instantly darkened.
He didn’t let her sit, but she was already seated. Did she take her boss seriously?
Although his emotions were shown on his face, he didn’t say anything. He paced slowly around Lu Haiqiao and said, “I called you in to talk to you about what happened yesterday.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Haiqiao continued indifferently, “Mr. Song, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush.”
Mr. Song was embarrassed.
“Alright, if that’s what you want. So be it.”
Mr. Song returned to his seat, pulled out a chair, and sat down. “Lu Haiqiao, we’re media people. What’s the first element of media people? It’s to be decent and upright. If one’s own actions are wrong, how authentic do you think the things reported are? Can the readers still trust us?”
“I agree with you.” Lu Haiqiao nodded casually. “But I have to point out one thing. Being upright is not the first element of a media person. It’s the first element of being a person. People with bad behavior, whether they are media people or not, can’t survive in society..”
