"Ah!"

At the entrance of Empire Company, Cao Nana was roughly thrown to the ground. Forgetting decorum, she lashed out, "Could you be any less gentle? Is this Empire Company's idea of hospitality?"

"Enough already. Nana, are you okay?"

Lin Lele hurried over, her face filled with worry. She and Cao Nana came from the same town, but she had no idea that Cao Nana harbored resentment towards Huo Niannian.

A venomous glint flashed in Cao Nana's eyes as she pushed away Lin Lele's helping hand.

"Don't touch me!"

"Nana," Lin Lele murmured softly, her eyes showing a hint of disdain. Cao Nana had always been domineering, even as a child, and among friends, she was notoriously arrogant. Her marriage to He Feng, a junior executive at a company, and their installment-purchased house in S City only fueled others' jealousy.

"That damn Huo Niannian! She's just a lowlife! He Feng wouldn't even glance her way back then!" Cao Nana struggled to her feet as the security guards had left, with only Lin Lele by her side.

"Is that so? She's the one you've talked about? Nana, do you have a grudge against her?"

Lin Lele craftily took Cao Nana's arm, whispering with a hint of intrigue, "Huo Niannian doesn't seem like good news! She's humiliated you in front of everyone. We can't let her off the hook!"

"You?"

"Yes. Didn't you remember? I told you about that delivery guy who wronged me."

Quickly finding common ground in their grudge, the two women made a silent agreement. Unbeknownst to them, Huo Niannian, who had stepped out with Ding Xuelan, was completely unaware of their scheming. Ding Xuelan had escorted her to the lobby, offering a veiled comment, "Madam, there's really no need for you to bring food every day. We used to take care of these minor tasks ourselves."

Ding Xuelan's insinuation made Huo Niannian's brow crease.

"No problem. I don't have much going on anyway. A little stroll might be nice." Huo Niannian understood Ding Xuelan's implication but wasn't inclined to agree. After bidding Ding Xuelan farewell, she bent down and slipped into the car.

Assistant Zhou immediately instructed the driver to get moving. As Huo Niannian watched the Imperial Group's skyscraper recede, she touched her chin in contemplation.

No wonder Gu Tingshen said he needed her to help ward off his admirers. After observing for half a month, it was clear that there was no shortage of women around him.

They were just employees.

Yet they showed no restraint.

All she wanted was for Gu Tingshen to reveal the truth. Then, she could part ways with him.

"Madam?"

"What is it?"

Lost in her thoughts, Huo Niannian hadn't noticed Assistant Zhou calling her. Turning to face him, she saw his curious look.

Her mouth twitched, "What's up?"

"There's a breaking news story about you," Assistant Zhou said, wiping sweat from his forehead before handing her his phone. Huo Niannian took the phone, puzzled. She wasn't a big star; why would there be news about her?

Then she remembered. She wasn't the star, but Gu Tingshen was the talk of S City!

Reading the news, Huo Niannian's annoyance grew. Who was responsible for this?

"Madam, perhaps the President should handle this matter," Assistant Zhou suggested, his discomfort apparent.
