Chapter 17 Ridicule

• In Fucheng, every Monday's morning meetings were used to summarize the past week's work. This was also Shi Nuan's first time attending the regular meeting ever since leaving Fucheng a year ago. The company directors were surprised to see Shi Nuan. Some of them didn't know Shi Nuan had returned, while others were rather critical of her because of what had happened a few days ago.
• Shi Nuan chose to ignore their glances. She walked directly towards her seat while carrying her documents, then scanned the audience. Since the chairman and general manager hadn't arrived, everyone was chatting away. Some of the directors were older and naturally had more power than Shi Nuan, so they took advantage of these aspects and openly discussed the engagement dinner from that night.
• Among them was a director who once clashed with Shi Nuan because of work and hated how strong-willed she was, so he looked forward to stirring the pot over this matter. “To think that there are those who still dare show up after bringing themselves so much humiliation.”
