Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Still Unaware of the Impending Danger
The atmosphere at Capital City’s 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, “Hey, did anyone discover that woman this morning?”
“Don’t know, some people went to the restroom, so they should have found her, I guess. Anyway, I’m sure no one discovered her last night.”
“Haha, 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 can’t blame us for dealing with her!”
“Exactly, do you remember? She was locked in the toilet yesterday and kept yelling at us to let her out. As if! We’re not fools, why would we let her out? She’s so wild, even daring to hit a man. If she injured us, who would we cry to?”
Every time Wei Ting thought about Chi Enen’s appearance, quietly locked in the toilet yesterday afternoon, she couldn’t help but feel elated. Even though she feigned concern, saying, “Are we going too far with this? What if she retaliates?”
Not a single woman among them felt afraid, all full of bravado as they said, “Let her retaliate if she wants. Does she have any evidence? Besides, we’ve secured way more sponsorship than she has ever done. Fatty Fish isn’t stupid; it knows whose side to stand on. At most, she’ll just come and make a fuss. With so many of us here, are we supposed to be scared of her?”
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, “Alright, let’s hurry up. It’s almost time to punch in.”
“Let’s go, let’s go, after dealing with that woman, I was so excited I couldn’t sleep well last night. I need to catch up on some beauty sleep when we get to the office.”
“Same here, I was excited all night.”
The group boarded the elevator, giggling and making noise.
At that moment, Wei Ting’s mobile phone chimed.
“Who is it?” She pulled out her mobile phone from her bag, looked down, and swiped open the text message—it was from Xiao Li.
——Wei 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 Ting’s mind.
She couldn’t help but feel her heartbeat quicken, automatically ignoring the words “in a bad mood” that Xiao Li had mentioned.
“What’s up? Who sent you that message?” One of them noticed her looking at her phone and asked.
Wei Ting put away her phone, feigning nonchalance, “Nothing much, just my show’s screenwriter director, that Xiao Li. He told me the CEO is now at the company.”
“The CEO? Really?”
“Does that mean we might see the CEO?”
“How lucky!”
Everyone was visibly excited, secretly comparing each other’s outfits through the elevator’s mirror. Those like Wei Ting who had dressed meticulously today felt a secret delight. There were also those who hadn’t slept well last night and hadn’t 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.
