Outside, the sound of colleagues asking questions and talking it over rose up.
Shen Suiwan only froze for a moment, and then she was back to normal.
She did not go out right away, and there was not the slightest panic on her face. She calmly poured another glass of juice and carried it out of the break room.
The colleagues in the president’s office all looked over at her at once, then quickly shifted their eyes away, though their faces carried more or less a hint of curiosity and gossip.
Just now there had been only two people in the break room, Shen Suiwan and Gu Xirou.
Gu Xirou had suddenly screamed, and then rushed out with coffee all over her face…
That scene really did make it impossible not to think further.
Gu Xirou had just taken away the project Secretary Shen had been in charge of all along, so it was reasonable enough for Secretary Shen to be angry, but throwing coffee at someone so openly at the company was a bit too…
Shen Suiwan did not see Gu Xirou anywhere.
Obviously, she was in Gu Tingshen’s office right now, filing her complaint.
She had just finished the thought when the office door opened and Gu Tingshen walked out with anger on his face.
When he saw Shen Suiwan, his anger grew worse, and he said coldly, “Come to my office.”
“There’s no need to go to the office.” Shen Suiwan took a few steps forward, then stood there. “Whatever it is, say it here, in front of everyone.”
“Secretary Shen!” Gu Tingshen practically forced the three words out through his teeth.
Shen Suiwan had really gone too far. She had actually thrown coffee at Gu Xirou!
He wanted to save her some face by having her speak in the office, and she was not even willing?
Gu Xirou came out of the office as well. Wiping her face with a wet wipe, she said aggrievedly, “Brother Ting… President Gu, don’t be angry. I think Secretary Shen probably didn’t do it on purpose. The coffee was very hot, but I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I? It’s all right, let it go.”
“Coffee that hot, and she dared to throw it in your face!” Gu Tingshen’s voice was heavy, and his eyes were full of tender concern as he looked at Gu Xirou.
Gu Xirou kept her head down, but the corners of her mouth secretly curved up.
She had faced off with Shen Suiwan for quite a while, and the coffee’s temperature had long since dropped. She knew that clearly, which was why she had dared to act.
“Secretary Shen, no matter what complaints you have, you shouldn’t lay a hand on anyone at the company,” Gu Tingshen said coldly. “Apologize to Rourou!”
Shen Suiwan walked up in front of them in silence.
Watching her stand there saying nothing, Gu Xirou’s eyes glinted with smugness.
She wanted Shen Suiwan to see just how much Gu Tingshen cared about her!
Even if Shen Suiwan tried to explain, it would be useless. Gu Tingshen would not believe her!
However, what she absolutely did not expect was this.
Shen Suiwan did not explain at all. She even swung her hand up abruptly and threw the whole glass of juice in her face!
This time Gu Xirou was dumbfounded.
And not only her. Everyone else in the president’s office was dumbfounded too, and even Gu Tingshen froze on the spot.
Shen Suiwan had shown no mercy at all when she threw the juice, and since he was standing right beside Gu Xirou, he was naturally caught in it too.
After quite a while, Gu Xirou screamed again.
“Ah… Shen Suiwan, you’re insane!”
“Shen Suiwan!” Gu Tingshen scolded furiously. “Don’t go too far!”
Shen Suiwan glanced at Gu Tingshen, then looked at Gu Xirou and said coolly, “Didn’t you say I threw it at you? Since you insist on pinning this charge on me, then I’ll make the charge stick.”
“What do you mean, I insisted on pinning…” Gu Xirou was trembling all over.
She was almost mad with rage. When she had thrown it on herself she had naturally gone easy, but Shen Suiwan would not go easy! Now there was juice all over her hair and her face, and without even having to think about it she knew how wretched she looked!
“Enough!” Gu Tingshen’s face was black as thunder. He reached out and gripped Shen Suiwan’s wrist, saying harshly, “You, come in with me!”
With that, he pulled Shen Suiwan by force into his office.
Gu Xirou hurriedly lowered her head and followed.
The office door shut with a bang, and everyone in the president’s office instantly erupted.
“What on earth is going on?”
“Secretary Shen really is bold! She dared to throw it at Miss Gu right in front of President Gu!”
“So what actually happened in the break room? Did Secretary Shen really throw coffee at Miss Gu?”
“From the sound of what Secretary Shen said, it seems Miss Gu was slandering her…”
“Shh, keep your voice down.”
Inside the office the air was heavy.
Gu Tingshen sat on the sofa, and the darkness in his eyes was almost enough to swallow Shen Suiwan whole.
But Shen Suiwan met his gaze without the least fear.
Gu Xirou stood to one side, tears falling nonstop.
After a long while, Gu Tingshen finally spoke, and it was to Gu Xirou: “Go clean yourself up in the bathroom first.”
There was a lounge in the office, fitted with a small bathroom.
Gu Xirou gave Shen Suiwan a look before walking into the lounge.
“Wanwan, this time you really…”
“President Gu.” Shen Suiwan cut him off. “This is the company. You’d better call me Secretary Shen.”
Gu Tingshen grew even angrier. “What exactly do you want? I’ve told you, Rourou is my sister, and she’s your sister too. Whatever happens, can’t you just yield to her a little? You used to be so sensible. Have you turned into this now?”
