"Who wants to be controlled, really?" Li Meng thought it was hard to believe that anyone actually enjoyed being managed, at least not her.
It was just Zhang Baofeng and Tian Luo! Bai Juan continued talking, worried that Li Meng wouldn't know who they were, and specifically brought Zhang Baofeng and Tian Luo over to her.
Li Meng looked at the two in front of her, her brows twitching slightly. Those two? Forget it! If they listened to me, I would be grateful!
"Hahaha, did you hear that? Everyone knows what you two are like! Stop pretending!"
Li Meng shook her head with a smile at their monkey-like antics and walked into the office.
The others were busy working diligently, but Lan Ruo Yi felt that Li Meng seemed to be forcing a smile today. She wondered what could be bothering her.
"Ru Yi, Yan, can you both come here for a moment?" The two working suddenly heard someone calling their names. They exchanged puzzled glances before heading towards Li Meng's office.
The remaining crowd looked thoughtful.
"What’s up, Meng Jie?" Lan Ruo Yi asked, pretending not to understand. Li Meng poured them both a glass of water and motioned for them to sit down before slowly speaking.
"I know why you two came to the company that night. You don’t need to ask anyone else; I’ll tell you directly." Li Meng's words sounded quite authoritative.
Liu Ru Yan and Lan Ruo Yi exchanged glances. "What did we come here for again?"
"Oh, you mentioned feeling something was off when you saw the blood on Ling Jie’s shoes. Then we encountered the ghostly Li Meng, and you even said you saw someone in her office," Lan Ruo Yi replied expressionlessly.
Lan Ruo Yi remembered that every time this happened, she wished she had a good brain. She hoped she could think clearly in critical moments.
"Huh? Meng Jie, what are you talking about? We really just came to get our notebooks," Liu Ru Yan feigned innocence as she looked at Li Meng.
Li Meng smiled lightly. "You might genuinely want your notebook, but Ru Yi probably doesn’t."
Lan Ruo Yi and Liu Ru Yan exchanged glances.
Liu Ru Yan said, "That’s quite harsh."
Lan Ruo Yi added, "Let me speak! You stay quiet!"
Liu Ru Yan replied, "Get revenge for me!"
"Meng Jie, as you said, we indeed didn’t come for our notebooks. How can you be sure that what you're talking about is the same thing we’re discussing?"
You better act innocent and pretend you don’t understand! Lan Ruo Yi thought to herself as she faced off against Li Meng, while also urging Liu Ru Yan in her mind to act more convincingly.
Huh? What are you guys saying? Liu Ru Yan, not wanting to disappoint Lan Ruo Yi’s expectations, put on a very convincing act. Seeing this, Li Meng became even more certain of her thoughts. Among the two, only Lan Ruo Yi had any brains and could actually hold a conversation with her; Liu Ru Yan was just too naive.
If Liu Ru Yan heard this, she would say: Someone who plays mind games is feeling superior? Does she really think this is a palace?
Well, I won’t beat around the bush anymore. Since I’m leaving here anyway, you two are new employees, so don’t mention this to anyone else.
After Li Meng spoke, she watched the reactions of the two. Lan Ruo Yi frowned with some concern, while Liu Ru Yan looked serious.
Li Meng said, “It’s not like I’m telling you specifically; you don’t need to take it so seriously.”
Liu Ru Yan looked at Li Meng and nodded earnestly. “Meng Jie, don’t worry. I’ll zip my lips right up.”
Just listen to what I’m saying—this matter should not be shared with anyone else. I’ve already decided who I’ll tell.
Liu Ru Yan readily agreed verbally but was already planning in her heart whom she would share this news with.
This concerns both of us; you better keep your mouth shut! Lan Ruo Yi felt frustrated but couldn’t say much.
So, what if I do? Li Meng suddenly wondered if it was right to have spoken so directly to the two of them. Reality had left no room for retreat.
Regardless of whether it was sensible or not, she had to say it; there might not be another chance later.
I’m resigning. Li Meng dropped a bombshell and didn’t even care about the reactions of the two; their eyes widened in shock.
Did I hear that right? No way!
You didn’t; just keep quiet for now.
You both should have seen me bringing someone into the company that night, right? Right when you were about to get off work! Li Meng continued speaking to herself.
Those two wanted the company to kick you both out for them! Play! Play! As soon as Li Meng finished speaking...
Liu Ru Yan jumped up and reached out to stop Li Meng. “Wait a minute!”
Li Meng was taken aback; she hadn’t expected such a strong reaction from her and stared at Liu Ru Yan in surprise.
Are you saying “play” in the way I think you mean? Liu Ru Yan couldn’t believe how bold people had become nowadays, wanting to kick them out just for fun!
What do you mean by play? Play with your head?
Oh, it’s not the time for that kind of game; then are we playing with your... Ah!!!
Wang Yang felt a sudden chill in his lower body, but he didn't pay it much attention.
Upon returning, Li Meng blinked in disbelief at the two of them and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Li Meng sensed that something was off, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what it was. She just felt that the two of them seemed to be speaking different languages.
