With the Gossip Group in Hand, You Have Everything!

Li Yiyan could not be bothered to watch Tang Zhong continue making excuses.

He directly announced Tang Zhong's dismissal.

When Tang Zhong heard the words "dismissal notice," his face filled with disbelief. He had given this company his sincere devotion, and now they were going to kick him out just like that?

As if they could have it that easy.

"Little Li, I advise you to think this through. Do you know how much impact it'll have if you kick me out of the company?"

Tang Zhong stopped pretending and directly threatened Li Yiyan.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Li Yiyan was not afraid. After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

"Cough..."

Shen Jingmo lightly coughed as he looked at Zhu Yu, who was still chatting away.

Zhu Yu quickly straightened up and followed her big boss back, not forgetting to wave goodbye to her newly made sisters before leaving.

We'll gossip again next time. As long as gossip lives in our hearts, our bond will never break.

Shen Jingmo and Zhu Yu returned to Li Yiyan's office. The moment they entered, they saw a gloomy Li Yiyan. He no longer had his earlier refined and gentle demeanor; instead, he radiated dejection and despair.

"Dead yet?" Shen Jingmo calmly kicked Li Yiyan's pant leg.

"Not yet... I'm thinking about who to promote." Li Yiyan shifted slightly, indicating that he was still alive.

"What do you think about promoting Zhuang Ting, one of his subordinates? I watched him get hired. He graduated from a prestigious university, has extensive work experience, and has independently completed several projects."

Li Yiyan sat up.

"As long as you think he'll do." Shen Jingmo walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the street.

Hearing the name Zhuang Ting, Zhu Yu frowned. Had she heard that name somewhere before?

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yu suddenly remembered. Wasn't that a name the girls had mentioned in the gossip group just now?

Zhu Yu excitedly opened the Li Corporation Gossip Group.

Zhu Yu: Brothers and sisters, does anyone know any gossip about Zhuang Ting?

Employee A: Who???

Employee B: You came to the right group for that.

Employee C: We actually do know a little.

Employee B: Everyone, do me a favor. I absolutely have to answer this one. If anyone tries to steal it from me, I'm seriously going to throw a fit.

Zhu Yu: I'm all ears. [gossiping]

Employee B: This Zhuang Ting is Manager Tang's future brother-in-law. Zhuang Ting and Manager Tang's younger sister have already reached the stage of discussing marriage.

Employee B: When he first joined the company, he was so meek and shy, always rushing to do everything. But ever since he latched onto Manager Tang's sister, it was like he became a different person. He immediately went from a pitiful little nobody to someone high and mighty who looked down on everyone.

Employee C: Exactly, exactly. We even wondered back then whether Manager Tang's personality was contagious.

Zhu Yu: So the two of them are practically becoming one Household? [horrified]

Employee A: It's already set in stone. They've flaunted it in front of us and in the group who knows how many times. Before, they even made us post congratulatory pictures on our social feeds. Later, they said that wasn't enough and asked us to tell our friends and relatives too, saying it would help. They insisted on making a whole congratulations wall. All this pointless nonsense—it was insane.

Employee B: I just checked. The congratulations wall is still short two or three posts. Little Fish, you can post one too. I'll send you the picture later. (And send him a "heh heh" while you're at it.)

Zhu Yu looked at the messages in the group, then put down her phone and looked at Li Yiyan, who was drafting a promotion notice. Her face was full of sympathy. Just how unlucky was this poor guy?

Should I remind Li Yiyan that this Zhuang Ting is about to become Tang Zhong's brother-in-law? Promoting him would be like bringing another wolf into the fold, wouldn't it?

Shen Jingmo, who had just sat down, straightened slightly.

Li Yiyan deleted every word he had typed. How had he not known that the two were about to become relatives?

"I suddenly remembered that Zhang Yi is pretty good too. Let's pick him instead." Li Yiyan promptly changed his choice.

Upon hearing the name, Zhu Yu curiously sent it to the gossip group as well.

Employee D: This time, let me handle it. I have the authority to speak on this.

Employee D: I sit at the workstation next to his. You might not believe this, but he's been coveting the boss for a long time. I saw with my own eyes that his phone screen was full of photoshopped pictures of him and the boss together.

Employee D: What's even more outrageous is that he knows I'm better at taking photos and editing them than he is, so he asked me to edit them for him. How does he even have the nerve to ask?

Zhu Yu: Is he really that bold?

Employee D: That's just the tip of the iceberg. I'm afraid you'll all throw up if I tell you everything.

Zhu Yu typed furiously on her phone.

Li Yiyan had just finished typing and was still hesitating over whether to send it.

Li Yiyan! I hereby declare him the unluckiest guy in the world. Zhang Yi actually covets him, and his phone wallpaper is full of photoshopped pictures of just the two of them. That's way too terrifying.

By the way, isn't this gossip group ridiculously efficient? It has practically every piece of gossip there is. With one group in hand, you have everything!

Li Yiyan nearly coughed up blood when he heard that. What kind of employees did he even have under him?

The corners of Shen Jingmo's lips lifted. He was extremely grateful that he had not been drinking coffee at that moment, or history might have repeated itself.
