A Legendary Gossip Moment

Shen Jingmo wiped the coffee off his clothes with a tissue.

"Ayan, do we really not need to go take another look? I have a feeling something isn't right." Shen Jingmo signaled to Li Yiyan with his eyes.

"Oh, okay. Then let's go take a look together." Li Yiyan snapped back to his senses and nodded.

Zhu Yu looked at the two of them in confusion. What was going on? How had these two figured out something was wrong?

Zhu Yu followed the two of them to Tang Zhong's office door.

How could Zhu Yu possibly let two big bosses knock themselves? He stepped forward and knocked lightly, but there was no response from inside.

"Should I go in and take a look?" Zhu Yu turned to the two behind him.

"Mm." Li Yiyan nodded.

After receiving permission, Zhu Yu cautiously opened the door. The office was pitch-black, with the curtains drawn tightly shut.

Faint sounds came from the lounge inside.

Zhu Yu felt along the wall to his left and found a row of switches. Instinctively, he turned them all on.

The moment the lights came on, Zhu Yu saw a complete mess before him—clothes, shoes, and ties scattered all over the floor.

[Oh my god, this is way too explosive. No wonder they couldn't even hear the knocking.]

Outside the door, Shen Jingmo and Li Yiyan could already hear nothing but stared intently at the scene before them.

The glass door that had initially been foggy gradually became clear.

Tang Zhong and Shen Ke, who were in the lounge, appeared before everyone.

The two were embracing.

"Oh my god!" An older employee whose desk was near the office door covered her mouth in shock.

"Is that Manager Tang? What are those two doing? It's working hours!"

"Mommy, my eyes are dirty."

"Guards! Hurry and cover this emperor's eyes!"

"I can barely save myself. How can I help you? Why don't you help me instead? You've already seen it all anyway."

Inside the lounge.

Tang Zhong held Shen Ke and looked up, only to see Li Yiyan standing outside his office. He smugly raised a brow at him.

"Ah Zhong, Li Yiyan is here. Hurry up and go out."

Shen Ke jumped in fright and quickly let go of the person in front of her.

"What's the big deal? The glass can't be seen through from outside anyway. Only those of us inside can see through it. Doesn't that make it more interesting?"

Outside the lounge, in the office.

Zhu Yu carefully avoided the clutter on the floor and walked up to the lounge door, then knocked.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Manager Tang? Are you in there?"

Tang Zhong finally panicked when he saw someone knocking on his lounge door. He hurriedly put on his jacket and went out.

Zhu Yu wanted to sneak a curious look, but before he could see anything for even a second, the door was shut tight.

"Assistant Zhu, is something the matter? Let's talk outside."

"President Li wants to see you."

"Okay."

Tang Zhong followed Zhu Yu out of the office and had just arrived before Li Yiyan and Shen Jingmo.

"Little Li."

Tang Zhong still wore his usual honest smile.

But this time, there was no smile on Li Yiyan's face.

The moment Zhu Yu left the office, he noticed something was off. Why was this whole group staring this way? Their expressions looked especially familiar, like he had seen them somewhere before.

What was so interesting about a few large panes of glass?

Zhu Yu subconsciously turned his head to the left and took a look. Shen Ke lying on the bed immediately came into view, and she seemed to be painting her nails.

[Aaaah! A live broadcast!!!]

Only after seeing this did Zhu Yu remember why everyone's expressions had seemed so familiar. Weren't those the exclusive looks of people watching gossip unfold?

When Tang Zhong saw that the two before him were ignoring him, their eyes fixed on his office, a bad premonition flashed through his heart. He slowly turned his head and glanced at his office.

With that one look, Tang Zhong felt like his entire world had gone wrong. His breathing turned uneven, and everything before his eyes went black as he could no longer hear a thing.

"Uncle Tang, you really kept me in the dark." Li Yiyan tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Little Li, since you've already found out, I can only be honest with you. Your Aunt Shen and I have long been in love with each other. We just didn't know how to tell you." Tang Zhong's expression shifted as he frantically searched for a way out.

Shen Ke was still useful for now. He couldn't discard her yet.

"In love with each other? I remember Aunt Shen saying just last week that she loved my father so much that she could never forget him, and that was why she was in such pain. This week, she fell in love with you?"

"Which one of you am I supposed to believe? Do I need to record everything you say in advance from now on?"

Li Yiyan looked coldly at Tang Zhong. He wasn't blind either. That smug look in Tang Zhong's eyes just now had clearly been mocking and ridiculing him.

Zhu Yu silently moved behind Shen Jingmo. Behind him were the employees who had just been watching the gossip.

"Today really was a great show. You really can't tell with Manager Tang."

"Tch, I figured it out long ago. You could tell at a glance he wasn't a good person. Every day, he used President Li's respect for him to pressure us."

"He pressured you too?" Zhu Yu was immediately interested.

Seeing that Zhu Yu was a new face, the employees assumed he was a new hire and didn't treat him like an outsider.

They grabbed him and introduced him to a wave of Li Corporation gossip. In less than two minutes, they had pulled him into the company gossip group.

"What? The Shen Corporation HR manager is together with the captain of the Li Corporation Security Team?"

"Isn't that an old cow eating young grass?"

Zhu Yu listened with a flushed face. Sure enough, big companies never lacked gossip—especially such juicy gossip. There was no end to it. He simply couldn't get enough.

Shen Jingmo looked speechlessly at Zhu Yu behind him, who had blended into the Li Corporation employees like a fish in water. He really could jump into any conversation, no matter whose turf it was.

(KK has something to say: KK is submitting a leave request. I'm truly very sorry. There's a plot point later on that needs a slight adjustment, so I may only be able to update one chapter tomorrow. But don't worry, everyone—KK will only make changes for one day, and things will return to normal the day after tomorrow. [KK clasps fists])
