The sudden display of assertiveness caught Ye Meiqi a little off guard.
She frowned at Lu An'nan, a fire burning in her eyes.
"So you don't want to work here anymore, and you say it with such conviction? Lu An'nan, do you really think if you make a big enough fuss, I'll just let you terminate your contract? Or do you think I won't make you pay the penalty for breach of contract?"
"Where did I breach the contract?" An'nan asked curiously, not with a hint of anger, just a calm composure. But the calmer and more indifferent she appeared, the more a burning rage welled up in Ye Meiqi, unable to be unleashed.
Damn it, she just hated Lu An'nan's listless, half-hearted demeanor. She's clearly part of this industry, yet she insists on maintaining this pure, unworldly facade. Who is she trying to impress?
Ye Meiqi clearly held An'nan in contempt, a fact An'nan was well aware of. Ye Meiqi had inexplicably disliked her even before, but it only intensified after Xiao Ruoyu entered the picture. So, since they mutually despised each other, An'nan decided to be utterly shameless.
An'nan stared back at Ye Meiqi with unwavering assertiveness, not flinching in the slightest. An'nan's defiant stance only fueled Ye Meiqi's anger further.
"If I say you breached the contract, then you breached it! Don't forget, the contract was drafted by the company. What do you think the company employs so many legal teams for every year? They're precisely for bringing people like you, who refuse to comply with company management, to heel!"
"When did I ever disobey? Did I take on outside work behind the company's back? Or are you suggesting I breached the contract because I'm resentful that you stole my boyfriend?"
The moment An'nan's words left her lips, everyone around them immediately understood. Ah, so that was the real issue.
Ye Meiqi had set her sights on Lu An'nan's boyfriend, and as a love rival, it was hardly surprising that she'd tried to blacklist An'nan. When it came to love rivals, nothing they did seemed particularly new or shocking. Furthermore, Ye Meiqi held a high position and possessed the power to do so. Involuntarily, their gazes shifted to Lu An'nan, tinged with a hint of sympathy. Of all the people to fight over a man with, why did it have to be Ye Meiqi?
A collective sigh rippled through the onlookers as they shook their heads, while not far away, Di Ming was utterly dumbfounded. Good heavens, he was so bombarded by explosive news today that he didn't even know how to react. First, the big boss suddenly announced he had a girlfriend—no, wait, his *actual* wife, the boss's wife. And hot on the heels of that came the revelation that the boss's wife apparently had an ex-boyfriend!
Should this be reported to the boss? If reporting it led to a marital spat between them, he'd be eternally damned. But what if he *didn't* report it, and the boss never found out? This... What a dilemma!
Di Ming stood there, phone in hand, utterly torn.
Meanwhile, Ye Meiqi was so flustered by An'nan's questioning that she couldn't utter a word.
Damn that Lu An'nan! When did she get so sharp-tongued?
"Don't act like you're the victim here! Can you or can't you play this part? If you can, then carry on. If not, then we'll treat it as a breach of contract, and you'll compensate the company for its losses!"
"I'll pay the money, just terminate the contract!" An'nan snapped, a fiery defiance in her voice. This was clearly just a blatant attempt to bully her. But today, she was done tolerating it.
An'nan straightened her back, puffing out her chest. Shuosuo, standing nearby, couldn't help but tug on her arm and whisper in her ear, "Nuan Nuan, you haven't gone crazy, have you? If you keep carrying on like this, what will you do if they really make you pay up?"
"The more debts, the less you worry."
Nuan Nuan declared defiantly. Lan Shuosuo stared at her in terror, as if she'd just seen a ghost. She instinctively reached out and felt An'nan's forehead, finding her temperature perfectly normal. *No fever,* she thought to herself. *Then why is she talking such nonsense?*
"An'nan, don't forget your mother. You can't afford that kind of compensation. You've endured all this for so long here, wasn't it because..."
