Chapter 388 - 395: In a Dilemma
This afternoon, Li Yifei faced quite a few cold looks at the company. Since Su Mengxin wasn’t hired, the blame naturally fell on him as the Human Resources Manager. In no time, accusations of Li Yifei being a pervert and having abnormal sexual orientation were everywhere, as a tide of slanderous words seemed to pour down on him.
Li Yifei had not expected that his offhand remark would stir up so much trouble, but he was too lazy to pay attention to those jerks. Once Su Mengxin arrived at the office tomorrow, they would naturally stop cursing.
At this moment, Michelle came into Li Yifei’s office. Li Yifei gestured for Michelle to take a seat, and she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Li Yifei laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "You’re not here to scold me as well, are you?"
Recently, Michelle’s face seemed thinner, a bit more fragile, somewhat resembling the delicateness of Su Yiyi.
"What would I scold you for? I just came to see how you are holding up against the slander from all the male colleagues. Besides... people in the company still think I’m your... well, it wouldn’t be nice if I didn’t come to see you," Michelle said, seeming a bit downcast.
Last time the police came to arrest Li Yifei, Michelle had boldly confessed her feelings, which became a popular story. Li Yifei, for the sake of Michelle’s pride, had never denied it, so everyone believed that the two were a couple.
But now, Li Yifei found it tough to explain himself. He gave a dry laugh and said, "It’s okay, if it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind. Whatever they say, I pretend not to hear."
Michelle didn’t dwell on this topic any further and instead smiled saying, "Then just keep her. That will boost the company’s morale."
Li Yifei lit a cigarette and responded, "It’s not that I didn’t keep her, it’s that President Xu assigned her to be my secretary. Now I’m going to become the target of those brutes again."
