Chapter 178

However,

what surprised Lei Mengde was,

these employees who used to scatter like mice at the sight of him,

now not only did not leave immediately, but stared straight into his eyes, whispering among themselves in small groups.

Lei Mengde's face flushed with shame,

so he roared: "What are you all gawking at? Get back to work! Don't you want your bonuses this month?!"

After Lei Mengde roared,

the employees reluctantly scattered,

and several senior staff even directly rolled their eyes at Lei Mengde,

seeing this, Lei Mengde dared not vent his anger further,

and could only force a lifeless expression as he trudged toward his manager's office.

Finally,

this farce ended for now with Lei Mengde's defeat,

and in the office,

Tong Wenjie was both shocked and delighted, as happy as if she'd found gold while walking.

However,

after the brief joy passed,

Tong Wenjie began to seriously consider the matter,

judging from the headquarters' recent responses and Lei Mengde's furious, powerless reaction,

it was clear,

someone at headquarters was protecting her—and someone of very high rank.

But,

Tong Wenjie knew well that she was just a lowly accountant, never having interacted with anyone at headquarters,

so why had someone suddenly come to her defense?

She pressed her temple, thinking hard,

and suddenly remembered what Qin Feng had told her that morning,

and an idea surfaced unbidden,

Could it be Qin Feng?

Probably not—he may be rich and good-looking,

but it's too coincidental that he'd be close to headquarters.

She shook her head with a smile,

dismissing her own suspicion,

then,

the current finance director, Xiao Jin, pushed the door open,

frowned at the file folders scattered on the floor by Tong Wenjie's kick,

and recalled Lei Mengde's earlier humiliation,

so,

she held back,

Qianxun Resource Group 255595300

then forced a smile,

and said to Tong Wenjie: "Sister Tong, what happened? Why are all the folders on the floor? These documents are important—quickly pick them up!"

"?"

Hearing this, Tong Wenjie stared coldly at Xiao Jin.

Originally, when Xiao Jin was Tong Wenjie's assistant,

Tong Wenjie had truly given her everything—taught her many things and cared for her in daily life,

but since Xiao Jin aligned herself with Lei Mengde

and was promoted to finance director by him to suppress Tong Wenjie,

Xiao Jin's attitude toward Tong Wenjie flipped one hundred and eighty degrees,

constantly barking orders at her,

sometimes even assigning her to fetch her takeout or wash her cups,

things Tong Wenjie had never made her do before,

so,

Tong Wenjie was deeply hurt by Xiao Jin.

Now,

seeing Xiao Jin force a smile yet still blame her,

Tong Wenjie gave a cold laugh,

then said: "Yes, these documents are important—Xiao Jin, pick them up yourself!"

Tong Wenjie's tone was cool, leaving no room for argument,

Xiao Jin stared at her in utter shock,

after a moment,

But he could only helplessly bend down and squat.

Then he picked up the folders one by one, brushed off the dust, organized them neatly, and finally placed them back on Tong Wenjie's desk at 5:9.

Only then did Tong Wenjie nod in satisfaction.

She rose and left the office, heading toward the accounting office at the other end of the company.

Seeing Tong Wenjie leave the office,

the employees, who had just fallen quiet, began whispering again.

"Did you see? Did you see?! Our Sister Tong is truly hidden talent!"

"Yeah, who could've guessed? Sister Tong always kept such a low profile, yet her background is even stronger than Lei Mengde's!"

"Impossible? Didn't headquarters reject the dismissal? What does this have to do with Tong Wenjie?"

"Are you an idiot? Didn't you hear HR say that rule was just drafted, specifically targeting our branch? Isn't that clearly meant to back Sister Tong?"

"Now there's going to be a real show. Even though Lei Mengde is powerful, Sister Tong isn't weak either! If this goes to the end, no one knows who'll win!"

"Are you stupid? Of course our Sister Tong will win!"

"Exactly! I'm already a loyal fan of Sister Tong—Sister Tong will triumph!"
