"That's none of your business!" Old Mrs . Han raised her voice .
"Alright, it's all up to you," Han Zhuoli decided to stop pestering while the odds were still in his favor . Also, tonight's outcome was already not bad, it wasn't that easy to settle everything in one go .
As long as Old Mrs . Han was open and willing to give Lu Man a chance, he was confident that his grandmother would definitely like Lu Man .
He just had that much faith in Lu Man .
Old Mrs . Han squinted at him . "Aren't you leaving?"
"I already have a girlfriend now, why would I still leave," Han Zhuoli said happily, "Get me a glass of fruit juice . "
His heart was brimming over with happiness and sweetness so he wanted to drink something sweet too, was it?
"I still haven't acknowledged it yet!" Old Mrs . Han lashed out .
"As for whether you acknowledge it or not, I still have a girlfriend, so you can't refuse to let me enter anymore . " Han Zhuoli was particularly smug today . Having a girlfriend had boosted his confidence tremendously .
And if his girlfriend were to become his wife, then he would also have someone to depend and rely on in the future!
***
On Monday, when Lu Man entered the company, she noticed people giving her weird looks and whispering to each other while glancing at her .
Lu Man frowned and went to wait for the elevator .
When she stood in front of the elevator, everyone distanced themselves from her and kept glancing at her, giving her a dirty look .
And this even continued during her elevator ride up .
Moreover, when she exited the elevator and entered the Public relations department, she saw all her colleagues huddled together, gossiping fervently .
The moment Sister Li saw her, she quickly hushed, "Stop talking about it . "
"Why can't we talk about it?" As Ye Xiaoxing refused to give in, Xia Mengxuan tugged onto her a little .
Taking a look around, Ye Xiaoxing saw that Lu Man had arrived .
"Aiyo," she gasped instantly . "We should talk about it . It's not as if we did something that went against our conscience . Some people played dirty, and we aren't allowed to talk about it?"
"That's enough!" Sister Li scolded, "It's something without any evidence, what rumors are you spouting blindly?"
"How am I spouting rumors blindly? Besides, I wasn't the one who started the rumor, I only heard it from someone else . " Ye Xiaoxing pursed her lips and sneered, "Looks like the whole company already knows about this unsightly matter of hers . "
"Looking at how excited and agitated you are, now I definitely feel that you were the one who spread it instead . " Chen Shimian had arrived just before Lu Man but he did not join in on the gossip .
However, Ye Xiaoxing spoke so loudly that even Chen Shimian, who was sitting at his desk farther away from them, heard her harsh and mean words very clearly .
"What's the matter?" Lu Man asked coldly .
Ye Xiaoxing huffed, "Do you not have any sense of shame—"
"Shut up!" Sister Li reprimanded fiercely, drowning out Ye Xiaoxing's voice . Then, she walked Lu Man to her seat and said, "Lu Man, you are going to know about these rumors sooner or later, anyway . So, rather than hearing it from that insolent Ye Xiaoxing, it's better that I tell you about those rumors right now . "
"Go ahead, Sister Li," Lu Man was very calm and composed . After placing down her bag, Lu Man pulled over a roller chair for Sister Li .
Sister Li's eye twitched a little . Wasn't Lu Man being too calm about this?
"I don't know who spread this rumor that you… you seduced the boss to climb the ranks," Sister Li put it simply .
As for the other rumors, they had been cooked up by others . Also, the rumors got blown out of proportion and were overly exaggerated as they spread through the grapevine, making everything sound extremely terrible . Hence, Sister Li did not tell Lu Man about them .
"I have complete trust in you, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Chen from our department also believe in you . Having seen your proposal before, we know that even if Du Lin's case was assigned to us, we wouldn't have been able to come up with something that brilliant . To be honest, no matter who was assigned Du Lin's case, it would still be a hot potato for them . There was no cronyism in assigning this case to you, things have not been made easy for you nor have you been favored and given a go-ahead . Instead, that case increased the difficulty of you getting through the probation period . However, you made it and stood out with your own ability and talent . We know it very well . Rumors are just rumors, they will never become the truth . " Sister Li encouraged .
