Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1341 - 1319: Protecting One’s Own

Chu Xinyue couldn’t stand it any longer and frowned in disgust.

It turned out that the other day, the two of them were in the restroom and were seen by Ye Meng.

She turned around and walked out of the break room, heading back to the office area, and stomped over to the edge of Ye Meng’s cubicle:

"I hope you can stop spreading rumors. Don’t talk nonsense!"

Ye Meng was stunned, seeing Chu Xinyue’s angry face and the colleague who had just returned from behind her, immediately understanding what had happened, she regained her composure, a barely noticeable cold smile appeared at the corner of her lips, but her tone was somewhat surprised: "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

"There’s nothing filthy as you imagine between me and the new shareholder. Just by listening outside the door, you can make up so many scenes. You shouldn’t be a deputy editor of the emotional section; you should be a screenwriter. Anyway, I don’t want to hear anyone talking nonsense in the office again."

This remark was both a warning to Ye Meng and a reminder to all colleagues.

She came to work at the magazine to enrich her life, not to suffer grievances, and never planned to endure.

"Are you saying I’ve wronged you? Fabricated facts? I clearly saw you and Mr. Blue going into the restroom alone that day. What good thing could a man and a woman be doing inside? If you don’t believe it, check the surveillance cameras. If I’m lying, strike me with a car, okay? Mr. Blue takes such good care of you and favors you. If you didn’t seduce him with sex, why would he be so nice to you?"

The restroom incident was like yellow mud falling into the crotch; even if it wasn’t shit, it’s become shit.

Even if Chu Xinyue claimed she went in only to help him clean his clothes, nobody would believe it, so she remained silent.

Seeing her not speaking, the crowd also leaned towards Ye Meng’s side, starting to whisper.

Although the voices were not loud, Chu Xinyue heard them clearly, none of which were pleasant.

Fortunately, at this moment, Sister Xu came over and heavily knocked on the table: "Not working?"

Only then did the crowd disperse, pausing the commotion.

...

Because of the office rumors, Chu Xinyue’s work state has not been good these past few days.

This afternoon, she finished her work ahead of time and, lacking the energy that usually drove her to work overtime enthusiastically, clocked out gloomily and left the building.

After a while, she flagged down a car and left.

Not far away on the opposite side of the road, under the neatly dense French plane trees, a low-profile knight exuded an elegant, cool glow.

Inside the car, Ya Chen watched Chu Xinyue’s slender figure from the moment she emerged until she left, frowning: "Is she unhappy?"

The guard beside him was the only person from S Country who came with him to China, and also the only one who knew Chu Xinyue’s identity. Since coming to China, he had been silently keeping an eye on the dynamics of the crown princess in the magazine: "These days, people from the princess’s department seem to have been spreading her rumors, which is probably why the princess is unhappy."

"Rumors?" Ya Chen’s handsome face showed suspicion.

"It has something to do with you."

"Me?"

The guard reported all the rumors at the magazine, including the restroom incident, and couldn’t help but curiously ask: "Your Highness, ... did you really do something with the crown princess in the restroom..."

"Of course not, you idiot." Ya Chen gave him a flick on the head, a bit exasperated.

The guard rubbed his forehead and didn’t dare to speak any further. At this moment, Ya Chen opened the car door and got out, quickly asking, "Where are you going?"

He simply walked into the office building with a solemn face.

Several employees in the Emotional Section Department who hadn’t left work yet were called into the meeting room.

Two employees who had just left the company after work were also phoned back.

As a group of employees entered the meeting room, they saw a familiar long figure sitting in the middle of the horseshoe-shaped conference table, the black suit setting off his already sharply defined face, not needing an air conditioner to fill the room with cold air.

It was Mr. Blue, the newly appointed major shareholder of the group.

Several people were surprised, wondering why the major shareholder summoned them just before clocking out. However, they all had a foreboding sense that it wasn’t for anything good.

"I heard some of you in this department haven’t been focusing on work recently, gossiping, causing trouble, and defaming colleagues, ruining the office atmosphere."

Ya Chen’s opening made a group of employees shudder, realizing what he was referring to.

Could it be that the major shareholder was displeased with his rumors with Chu Xinyue being talked about everywhere?

"Who’s been talking behind our backs, step forward."

Nobody dared to move.

"Not wanting to speak? That’s easy to fix; we’ll just interrogate one by one, and in no time, it’ll all be linked together. But I want you to understand, the difference in punishment between confessing and being caught is huge. You can choose for yourselves."

The employees felt cold sweat trickling down their backs and weighed their options, then one by one those who had spoken behind Chu Xinyue’s back stood up.

Ya Chen, satisfied, tapped his fingers: "Who started spreading it?"

Ye Meng’s back tensed as she felt everyone’s gaze on her; since this was about their jobs, who would dare to cover up, forcing her out.

"Very well. Those who gossiped will all be transferred to the basement warehouse. As for you—" Ya Chen looked at the trembling Ye Meng and then glanced at Sister Xu: "Have HR give her a resignation letter."

Ye Meng’s legs went weak.

The other employees, who had failed to mind their words, were also crestfallen, as they were transferred from the air-conditioned comfort of the office to manage old magazines in a basement warehouse, something none could accept.

Sister Xu was stunned, had the employees support Ye Meng first, and had to say: "There are only about a dozen people in our department; you suddenly transferred seven or eight to the warehouse, and we’re short-staffed. I think these few should be let off, as they also mistakenly believed Ye Meng’s words and should realize their mistake."

"That’s right," a few people hurriedly pleaded.

"Don’t worry about personnel issues, I’ll immediately have a few people transferred from the group to help out until you recruit new ones."

Ya Chen adjusted his cuff links, stood up, arched his eyebrows and walked towards the door.

These people dared to gossip about her just because she was new.

Once the department is filled with people newer than her, she’ll become the most seasoned one, and no one will dare to bully her.

Thinking of that, he felt quite clever.

——————

It was the next day when Chu Xinyue came into work that she discovered the department had undergone a drastic change.

All of a sudden, seven or eight familiar colleagues were gone, including Ye Meng.

After asking around, she learned that Ye Meng had been fired and several other colleagues had been transferred to the basement warehouse to deal with old magazines.

Although no one told her anything, she wasn’t stupid.

All these people were the ones who had spoken about her behind her back.

She was suspicious but unsure.

During the lunch break, she went into the break room to make coffee and saw a colleague making instant noodles, intending to ask about it.

That colleague, upon seeing her, looked as if they had seen a ghost:

"S-sorry, I have something to do..." said the colleague and then rushed out of the break room.

"Hey, you’re just going to leave your instant noodles behind—" Chu Xinyue called out.

But the colleague was already out of sight, as if afraid that saying something wrong in front of her would invite a deadly misfortune.
