Don't Insult Me, Miss Mei

"What?"

"You're saying Xiao Lin refuses to go out?"

Shen Wan'er's face flushed with anger as she listened to the report.

What was going on with this new security guard?

Hadn't he been talking normally just yesterday? How did this situation arise today?

Damn it, men really couldn't be trusted after all.

Shen Wan'er's expression darkened.

"Ms. Shen! Quick, look!"

At that moment, Zhang Qing seemed to have spotted something from the floor-to-ceiling window, her voice suddenly panicked as she called out.

Shen Wan'er had a bad feeling in her heart and quickly walked over to look down.

Instantly, the color drained from her face.

She saw that the protesters who had only been holding up protest signs outside the company building had now broken through the barriers and were surging in.

The few security guards were no match for them at all.

By the looks of it, it wouldn't be long before they reached the upper floors of the company.

"Ms. Shen, what should we do?"

Zhang Qing was just a secretary; she had never encountered a situation like this before.

Shen Wan'er took a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure. She shook her head, a determined look flashing in her eyes: "At this point..."

She clenched her fists tightly.

Shen Wan'er's heart was filled with conflict and resistance.

She had been fantasizing that Gu Yan was only acting that way towards her to attract her attention.

So she hadn't gone to find him since that day.

But now it seemed that if she didn't go to him, she...

might not know what these enraged protesters would do to her.

It was so frustrating... so very frustrating...

To think that Gu Yan, of all people...

Shen Wan'er clenched her fists, her eyes revealing intense unwillingness.

She had thought that relying on that capable security guard could buy them some time.

But now it seemed that these security guards really couldn't be depended on!

"Ms. Shen..."

Zhang Qing looked at Shen Wan'er with concern in her eyes, sensing that her boss was about to do something she found extremely distasteful.

On Shen Wan'er's side, having finished her deliberation, she spoke seriously: "Zhang Qing, let's go down."

"Huh? Ms. Shen? Go down?"

Zhang Qing was dumbfounded. Down there was a mob of people who hadn't been paid for two months and had just learned the company was about to go bankrupt.

Going down like this would...

"It's fine. If things go smoothly, the company will be back to normal tomorrow."

Shen Wan'er shook her head and sighed lightly.

Zhang Qing didn't understand these things, but she trusted her boss. Suddenly, her mood wasn't as oppressive anymore.

She smiled and said: "Alright!"

...

...

"Give us back our money!"

"Tianye Pharmaceuticals is inhuman!"

"Shen Wan'er is a big liar!"

Inside the security room.

Xiao Lin lowered his head, pondering how to expose Gu Yan's true face in front of the beautiful big sister.

At this moment, he had no mind to deal with the voices outside.

But just then.

"Everyone! Please listen to me! I am Shen Wan'er!"

"The company has encountered some problems! So it has caused some negative impacts!"

"This has also given some villains the opportunity to stir up trouble!"

"But don't worry! Please trust me! By the end of this month at the latest, the company will resume normal operations!"

"And the wages owed to everyone will be repaid!!"

A voice that made Xiao Lin's heart skip a beat came from outside.

This voice was...

Ms. Shen?!

Xiao Lin's face lit up with joy, and he excitedly ran to the security room to look outside.

The plan he had been thinking about earlier - how to expose Gu Yan's true face in front of the beautiful big sister - completely vanished from his mind.

Shen Wan'er also saw the new security guard, Xiao Lin, coming out of the security room.

She mentally rolled her eyes.

These useless men, hiding away at the first sign of trouble, and in the end, she had to come out and face it herself!

The crowd, who only wanted their wages and didn't want to make a big fuss, looked at each other uncertainly when they heard this.

They were ordinary people, and in their eyes,

Tianye Pharmaceuticals was one of the larger companies in Jianghai City in terms of scale and output value.

It couldn't just go bankrupt or run away overnight.

It was just because the person in charge hadn't come out to face them that they felt unsure.

And now that Shen Wan'er, the boss of Tianye Pharmaceuticals, had come out to address them, they naturally put aside their anxieties and concerns.

In an instant, the tense atmosphere of confrontation began to dissipate.

They all lowered their protest signs one by one.

"Ms. Shen! It's not that we don't believe you! But you must keep your word!"

"That's right, we have elderly parents and young children to support!"

"The company isn't really going bankrupt, is it?"

Hearing these questions, Shen Wan'er patiently explained with a gentle expression: "Everyone, since I'm standing here, everything I've said is true."

"You can all go home and wait for your wages to be paid without worry."

At this point, Shen Wan'er also made a small joke to lighten the mood: "In the meantime, consider it a vacation."

With these words, the crowd put aside their doubts, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Xiao Lin watched this scene, the admiration in his eyes growing even stronger.

Hehe... my boss is so cool...

I really like this kind of city woman...

Meanwhile.

Under a large tree in the distance, with a full view of the scene.

Mei Xue frowned as she saw the situation about to resolve itself: "Gu Yan, aren't you going to let me make a move?"

Seeing this, Gu Yan shook his head and said in a mysterious tone: "You will make your move, but not now."

"When night falls, you'll have your chance to act."

"But for now, it's not a bad idea to let you see Xiao Lin's capabilities."

As he spoke, Gu Yan slightly turned his gaze and said: "Have your shadow servants attack Shen Wan'er."

Thump!

Mei Xue's expression remained unchanged, but her heart skipped a beat.

Gu Yan really did know about her ability?!

However...

Mei Xue suppressed the shock in her heart and asked in confusion: "Attack Shen Wan'er? But isn't she your—"

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a cold sweat break out all over her body.

She saw Gu Yan looking at her with a calm and indifferent gaze.

But just this look was enough to fill her with intense fear and panic.

She quickly lowered her head, shocked.

Mei Xue could hardly believe it, but she seemed to have seen in Gu Yan the same aura her master had when he wanted to kill someone.

But soon this cold intent disappeared, and Gu Yan once again put on a smiling face: "Don't insult me, Miss Mei~"

"I am... pure love, after all."

Pure love?

Mei Xue didn't understand what pure love meant, but she knew that Gu Yan was definitely dangerous.

Suppressing the inexplicable sense of panic in her heart, Mei Xue removed the blindfold covering her eyes.

Revealing a pair of completely black eyes, she looked in Shen Wan'er's direction: "So I just need to attack her, right?"

Gu Yan nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, Mei Xue's eyes focused, and a faint black aura appeared from her eyes.

I won't be responsible for whatever happens...

As her ability activated.

The next second.

Hum!

Several people with strange expressions in the crowd suddenly froze.

The next moment.

"Argh! Who would believe such nonsense?!"

"Go to hell!"

A man with a scarred face suddenly pulled out a switchblade from his pocket and lunged at Shen Wan'er with a fierce look in his eyes.

"!! Ah!"

Shen Wan'er's face turned pale with fright, and she let out a loud scream.

The others also cried out in panic.

They only wanted to get their wages back; they never intended for anyone to get killed!
