A slow, icy smile curled Mrs. Hu's lips. Her eyes gleamed with cold amusement as she crossed her arms. "Li Xinran," she said coldly. "This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable. I refuse to let an employee like you drag this company's reputation through the mud. Do yourself a favor—resign and leave before I make things worse for you."
Li Xinran's heart pounded, but she forced herself to remain calm. At this moment, she understood. Mrs. Hu wasn't here for explanations. She wasn't here to listen. She had already decided. The woman wanted her gone.
But Li Xinran wasn't afraid. She knew the final decision lay with Hu Chengyu, and he—he would never let her go. Not when she had him wrapped so tightly around her fingers.
However, she couldn't lose face in front of her colleagues. Unlike Mrs. Hu who usually acted like a shrew, screaming and roaring, she had a reputation here. More than that, she hadn't even sent those damn carrots.
