Chapter 297: Still Unaware of the Impending Danger
The atmosphere at Capital Cityâs BBC Broadcasting Station this morning was eerily quiet.
Normally bustling with noise and activity, the office level was unusually calm today. As soon as anyone arrived and saw the person sitting inside, they became as if tongue-tied, bowing their heads and quietly scurrying back to their own desks.
Wei Ting arrived at the company just in time for clock-in, as usual.
She had dressed herself up especially dazzlingly today, even spritzing on a bit more perfume. She was in a cheerful mood, all smiles as she chatted with her friends about the events of yesterday afternoon, âHey, did anyone discover that woman this morning?â
âDonât know, some people went to the restroom, so they should have found her, I guess. Anyway, Iâm sure no one discovered her last night.â
âHaha, she had it coming! Who told her to be so arrogant? And to openly say bad things about Sister Wei Ting. Hah, so arrogant, she canât blame us for dealing with her!â
âExactly, do you remember? She was locked in the toilet yesterday and kept yelling at us to let her out. As if! Weâre not fools, why would we let her out? Sheâs so wild, even daring to hit a man. If she injured us, who would we cry to?â
Every time Wei Ting thought about Chi Enenâs appearance, quietly locked in the toilet yesterday afternoon, she couldnât help but feel elated. Even though she feigned concern, saying, âAre we going too far with this? What if she retaliates?â
Not a single woman among them felt afraid, all full of bravado as they said, âLet her retaliate if she wants. Does she have any evidence? Besides, weâve secured way more sponsorship than she has ever done. Fatty Fish isnât stupid; it knows whose side to stand on. At most, sheâll just come and make a fuss. With so many of us here, are we supposed to be scared of her?â
Wei Ting had of course thought of everything they mentioned, her red lips curling into an even more charming smile as she changed the subject, âAlright, letâs hurry up. Itâs almost time to punch in.â
âLetâs go, letâs go, after dealing with that woman, I was so excited I couldnât sleep well last night. I need to catch up on some beauty sleep when we get to the office.â
âSame here, I was excited all night.â
The group boarded the elevator, giggling and making noise.
At that moment, Wei Tingâs mobile phone chimed.
âWho is it?â She pulled out her mobile phone from her bag, looked down, and swiped open the text messageâit was from Xiao Li.
ââWei Ting, the CEO is on the office level and seems to be in a bad mood.
The CEO?
An image of a noble and upright figure flashed through Wei Tingâs mind.
She couldnât help but feel her heartbeat quicken, automatically ignoring the words âin a bad moodâ that Xiao Li had mentioned.
âWhatâs up? Who sent you that message?â One of them noticed her looking at her phone and asked.
Wei Ting put away her phone, feigning nonchalance, âNothing much, just my showâs screenwriter director, that Xiao Li. He told me the CEO is now at the company.â
âThe CEO? Really?â
âDoes that mean we might see the CEO?â
âHow lucky!â
Everyone was visibly excited, secretly comparing each otherâs outfits through the elevatorâs mirror. Those like Wei Ting who had dressed meticulously today felt a secret delight. There were also those who hadnât slept well last night and hadnât paid much attention to their appearance, now regretting not getting up earlier to spruce themselves up.
Finally.
The elevator stopped on the third floor.
With unspoken agreement, they straightened up, trying to present their best side. They reached into their bags, pulled out their magnetic cards, and swiped their way into the office.
