The person who had spoken didn't expect Xu Tingyu to be so aggressive right from the start. He was taken aback by her retort and stared at her blankly.
Xu Tingyu was usually good - tempered, but her mood sometimes influenced her behavior.
For example, she had a backache today, so she was in a bad mood.
So, looking at the person's blank stare, she continued, feigning innocence and concern.
"What, don't you know? Did your parents forget to tell you when they died?"
"Tsk tsk, how pitiful. No wonder you're here trying to get attention."
The person finally came to his senses. His face flushed with anger as he pointed at Xu Tingyu and stammered, "You, you..."
"What about me? If you can't speak properly, think it through before you talk. Didn't your teacher teach you that? You're just a bloated cow."
Xu Tingyu rolled her eyes at him and deliberately mimicked his previous tone, full of contempt.
Just as the person was about to retort, he was held back by someone beside him.
The two whispered to each other. No one knew what bad things they were saying.
At this time, Shen Yan, who still hadn't taken off his mask, leaned over and whispered, "What does 'a bloated cow' mean?"
"Humph, it means a good - for - nothing. I think you're one too."
Xu Tingyu didn't spare him either.
Shen Yan: "..."
Why is she attacking everyone?
It seemed that this woman was really in a bad mood today. He'd better be more cautious so as not to get caught in the cross - fire.
The person who had been retorted to was fuming with anger. But after being persuaded by others, he didn't retort anymore. He just let out a heavy snort and sat down on one side.
The agent, however, suddenly seemed to have a lot more goodwill towards Xu Tingyu and came over.
"Miss Xu, I didn't expect you'd really come. When Yan Zhou called you, I was worried."
There was a flattering smile on his face. Different from the time when he went to apologize, this time it seemed more sincere.
Xu Tingyu was annoyed when she saw him. "What were you worried about? Worried that I wouldn't come? Humph, I didn't want to come, but I had no choice. Your company is 'HR quitting', after all."
The agent was stunned for a moment. It took him a while to realize that she meant their company was "heartless".
"No, there must be some misunderstanding, Miss Xu. When Yan Zhou comes later, please persuade him. The company definitely has his best interests at heart."
"He's in this state now. If he really terminates the contract with the company, he may not be able to guarantee his future life. Please persuade him, okay?"
The agent lowered his voice and almost pleaded with Xu Tingyu.
Xu Tingyu raised her eyebrows.
Oh? Yan Zhou wanted to terminate the contract?
"What's going on? Tell me in detail."
Her eyebrows furrowed and then relaxed. Her cold and clear eyes landed on the agent, making him feel somewhat exposed for no reason.
The agent didn't dare to hide anything. He glanced at the several high - level executives, gritted his teeth, and told the whole story.
It turned out that Yan Zhou's recovery wasn't ideal. He wanted to have surgery to take a chance, but the company disagreed.
The company thought that the risk of surgery was too high. They preferred conservative treatment so that they could gain more fans through his misfortune and increase his popularity.
Most importantly, the company had already spent a huge amount of money since his accident and hadn't recovered their costs yet.
If something went wrong during the surgery, wouldn't they lose both money and their star?
So the company disagreed with the surgery, and Yan Zhou directly proposed to terminate the contract and leave the Try team.
No matter how well he recovered in the future, he would have nothing to do with the company.
The company, of course, also disagreed. They said that he could terminate the contract, but he had to pay an astronomical liquidated damages.
After listening, Xu Tingyu commented, "Your company is not only heartless. You're like a dung beetle wearing a mask, disgustingly shameless."
"You want it all. He's in such a state, and you still want him to make money for you. No matter what, you're like Emperor Qin Shi Huang eating Chinese prickly ash, always coming out on top, right?"
"You're really making me laugh. Are you all like honeycomb briquettes? So full of schemes."
She was really speechless.
Although the company wasn't a charity, this was really too much.
Even an outsider like her couldn't stand it.
After this outburst, Shen Yan immediately gave her a thumbs - up. "Tingyu, you really do love me."
She never used such words to scold him when they bickered.
Xu Tingyu ignored him. It wasn't love. She just feared he wouldn't understand if she scolded him like that.
The agent was numb after being scolded like this.
But he still braved it out and said, "So we're still discussing. My idea is that he shouldn't terminate the contract for now. I'm also worried about his surgery. What if... he's still so young."
Xu Tingyu, who had been playing with the pillow on the sofa, suddenly stood up and threw the pillow at the agent's face.
"You're really like tadpoles pretending to be frogs. What are you pretending for? Even now, you're still pretending to be a good person, right?"
She couldn't help swearing. Her voice was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention in the room.
The several high - level executives who had been whispering and plotting something just now also stopped their conversation and looked over.
"Miss Xu, please watch your mouth. You've been looking for a fight since you came in. We're just not arguing with you for the sake of our past cooperation."
"But it doesn't mean we're afraid of you. Don't think that just because Yan Zhou says he regards you as his elder sister or there's some unclear relationship between you, you can really stand up for him."
"We should all be reasonable. If being loud means being right, then donkeys would have ruled the world long ago."
Those people were talking one after another, all looking very excited.
Seeing them start to fight back, Shen Yan immediately frowned and was about to stand up for her.
Although he didn't know why Xu Tingyu was so aggressive today, he knew she must have her reasons.
But before he could speak, he was held back by Xu Tingyu.
Then, she looked at those people who had spoken and sneered, "What, didn't you hear what I said clearly just now? What are you tadpoles pretending to be frogs for?"
Seeing that she still had this attitude, those people got furious and said whatever came to mind. "Don't be so arrogant. Don't think you're something just because you have some connection with the Qi family."
"You're just a discarded woman who was kicked out of the family. You really think you're important? You come here to act like a big shot."
They had given her some face before, all because of the Qi family.
They didn't know Xu Tingyu's identity before, but this time the news had been all over the place. As high - level executives of the company, they still had some sources of information.
Xu Tingyu laughed. "Humph, a discarded woman? You can even say such things. What, while others were binding their feet, you were binding your brains?"
"Wake up. The Qing Dynasty has been over for many years. You should let your brains see the world."
Her eyes were full of sarcasm. She reacted quickly and scolded accurately, making those people both angry and憋屈.
