The Bai Group was in a state of panic.
Ever since the President returned from outside yesterday afternoon, the entire atmosphere felt like a thousand miles of ice, freezing everything in its path.
In the past, the President always wore a cold expression, keeping strangers at a distance.
But it was never as fearso and intimidating as this ti.
"Did you hear? During the eting this afternoon, the President directly fired a departnt manager."
"Of course I heard, and he didn’t even let that manager say half a word before having him escorted out."
"Ugh, escort out? You should’ve seen the scene. I happened to be outside and saw Assistant Li dragging that departnt manager out."
"Huh?"
"What the hell happened?"
"Who knows? Apparently, that departnt manager brought the wrong docunts to the eting today."
"Oh co on, that’s not what I was asking. Who cares if it was the wrong docunts or what, didn’t you notice that the President was in an exceptionally bad mood today?"
"When is the President ever in a good mood?"
"But has the President ever been so domineering and forceful as to have Assistant Li drag soone out?"
"That’s true!"
"So, sothing must have happened!"
Soone slapped their forehead, eyes lighting up.
"Oh, I know! I’ve heard that the President is getting engaged!"
"What?"
"Well... actually, it doesn’t really count as an engagent, turns out they were engaged long ago, and the fiancée has returned to the country!"
"What? How co I didn’t hear any news about this?"
"Hey, not everyone knows these private gossips, right?"
"Then how do you know?"
"Well... I have a relative who works at the Kangyun Group under the Mu Family, and they’ve welcod a female heir, rumored to be the President’s fiancée!"
"No way, really?"
"Why not? What would I gain from lying to you?"
"True!"
Colleagues passing by quickly joined in the gossip circle upon hearing the news.
"Fiancée? Is it true?"
"True, as real as gold!"
"If it’s about the fiancée, shouldn’t the President be happy?"
Soone nodded in agreent, lowering their voice.
"Yeah, wasn’t the President dating soone before? Now that girlfriend has beco the fiancée, that’s a joyous occasion, but the scene in the eting this afternoon clearly wasn’t like that."
"Oh my gosh! Use your brain, will you?"
"How am I not using my brain?"
"Damn it! What I an is, the President’s fiancée and the previous girlfriend aren’t the sa person, so the President is very upset!"
"Huh?"
"Think about it, if the President’s fiancée and the previous girlfriend were the sa person, the President could’ve broken the rule before by taking a call from his girlfriend during a eting. Turning into a fiancée should make him extrely happy, right? But that’s not the case, so there must be sothing fishy going on! And that sothing must involve a woman!"
Everyone showed a look of realization, then quickly returned to their workstations as if they’d seen sothing terrifying, diligently typing away, flipping through docunts and signing, researching plans, and so forth.
As for the corners of their eyes, they constantly monitored that tall figure.
After the Cold President left, everyone felt a layer of cold sweat on their backs.
Just now, when the Cold President glanced over, they had the illusion that a dagger was about to pierce their throats.
Truly... damn terrifying!
