Staff from several nearby offices watched the police leave, their gossip now louder than a boiling pot.
"Did you see that? The cops are here, she must've been the one who did it!"
"She's as despicable as Sister Xu, I tell you!"
"It's so strange, why hasn't President Leng fired her yet?"
"That shows President Leng still cherishes the old times, truly a peerless good man!"
...
Hearing Xu Pei's high-heeled footsteps, everyone immediately retreated to their own place and continued with their work.
Xu Pei had long since heard everyone's gossip. She walked in slowly and stopped in the large office, clearing her throat slightly, "As your superior, I need to remind you that work time isn't for chit-chat, and as an individual, I also need to remind everyone that slander isn't a groundless accusation!"
No one spoke.
Xu Pei strode into her office, unaware of who whispered behind her.
"The guilty are always afraid, even when no one accuses them!"
Bang!
