CHAPTER 411: CHAPTER 411: 50000000 (PART 1)

The winter nights always come earlier. Tang Yanqi returned to the office with a chill in her hands from drinking cold air. To avoid affecting her work efficiency, she turned to the break room, intending to brew herself a hot cup of tea to warm her hands.

As she reached the corner, she heard a commotion coming from the staircase.

"Guo Jingtian, what do you mean?"

"Literal meaning, Sasha. I’ve made it clear to you, there’s no way between us, and I don’t like you. Stop bullying the new colleague because of me."

"I don’t believe it. You like me; you clearly did before..."

"We were all newcomers then, and it was normal to help each other out. If any of my past actions misled you, I’m sorry, but Sasha, there’s someone in my heart, and it’s not you. I hope we can still work well together."

Tang Yanqi listened to the argument inside and sighed, deciding that she couldn’t go to the break room and turned to head back to the office.

In TV shows, whenever someone eavesdrops on gossip and tries to leave, there’s always some unforeseen event that makes a noise.

Tang Yanqi always thought that was just a TV effect. But today, as she was about to leave, her phone suddenly rang in her pocket.

Although she had turned off the sound, it was set to vibrate, and in the quiet environment, the buzzing was extremely loud.

Sure enough, the people in the stairwell heard the noise and stopped their argument, both coming out.

Tang Yanqi appeared calm on the surface, though she felt slightly embarrassed inside. She gestured towards the break room: "Sorry, just passing by."

Yu Shasha, eyes red, looked at Tang Yanqi as if she wanted to rush over and start a fight.

Tang Yanqi ignored her anger, smiled at Guo Jingtian as a greeting, and then turned to leave.

"Stop there."

Yu Shasha’s voice came from behind, and the next second, her hair was grabbed: "You shameless vixen."

Tang Yanqi frowned. Had she gone mad? How could an adult be so impulsive?

She reached for Yu Shasha’s wrist, applied force, and made her let go of her hair.

Next, Tang Yanqi stepped back, turned around, and pushed Yu Shasha three to four meters away: "Miss Yu, I respect you as a senior, but that doesn’t mean I’m beneath you. Please show some respect."

"Hmph, respect?"

Yu Shasha sneered, ignoring her own embarrassment, and shouted: "Guo Jingtian, do you think she’s just a newcomer? Do you think she’s just an ordinary intern? Look at her shoes, look at her phone, and look at her bag. Which of them costs less than a year’s salary for us both? Can’t you see such an obvious thing? A beautiful woman pretending to be aloof; what good could she be?"

Tang Yanqi frowned. Her shoes were the simplest and plainest ones she picked from the ones Sheng Jianan had prepared for her, the bag too, and the phone was from Sheng Jianan. She hadn’t thought much about it.

Yet now it was being pointed out, with Yu Shasha almost outright saying the words "kept woman."

Tang Yanqi looked at her coldly and suddenly laughed: "Miss Yu seems quite experienced, must have been through a lot."

"You... you nonsense..."

"I know if I’m talking nonsense, do you know if you are? As a junior, I’ll give a senior four words: Disasters arise from careless talk."
