CHAPTER 50

"Do you guys get paid so much for you to come and spend all the time gossiping?" Xu Kai's cold voice came from behind, making them jump in fear.

"Mr. Xu, we didn't mean anything like that." They said in fear.

None of them wanted to lose their jobs. Even the maids in the company were paid more than the normal payment. Where else would they find a job that paid like this, they really wanted to slap themselves in the face. 

Had they not learned that when Cheng Xiao wanted to resign, there had been issues. Even the Head of HR didn't dare to process the resignation, she left but was brought back personally by him. 

"Miss Cheng, please forgive us. We didn't mean what we were saying." They said apologizing with a bow.

"What did you mean by then?" Cheng Xiao asked harshly looking at them waiting for a reply.

Cheng Xiao was in a bad mood due to the events that happened earlier on. How could she control what people said behind her back. It was the same thing that everyone in the company gossiped about, but they made sure she was nowhere in sight when they said it.

They broke into sweats when they saw that she was not joking. Usually even if they said it and she heard, she would just ignore them and walk away. It seemed like she was in a really bad mood. 

"Please forgive us, we promise that it won't happen again." They begged her to forgive them.

Cheng Xiao just stared at them and without saying anything she turned and left. Cheng Xiao walked into the office and anyone that knew her knew that she was in a bad mood judging by her face. Shen Mu saw this and opened her drawer and took out a chocolate bar.

Ever since they were young, Shen Mu knew that whenever Cheng Xiao was in a bad mood, she would crave sweets. Cheng Xiao had a sweet tooth and if she is angry then only sweets would calm her down.

Shen Mu stood up from her place and walked to Cheng Xiao's desk and handed her the chocolate.

"Eat this and calm down." She spoke.

"I-I-I!" Cheng Xiao opened her mouth to say, and Shen Mu just stuffed the chocolate into her mouth.

Cheng Xiao closed her eyes to enjoy the flavor, there were some colleagues that wanted to ask Cheng Xiao a few questions, but Shen Mu signaled them to stop in their tracks.

Cheng Xiao opened her eyes and looked up at Shen Mu. "Thank you!" Cheng Xiao said, and Shen Mu nodded and handed her the rest of the chocolate bar.

"Now you can ask what you want to ask." Shen Mu told the colleagues that had questions and went back to her desk.
