Xia Jin arrived at the jewelry store early on Friday, which was also the last working day. She felt several lines of sight fall on her before she could even put down her bag.
“As expected, she relies on selling her body to stay by Mr. Huo’s side…”
“Look at that dignified look she usually puts on, she really thinks she’s so dignified…”
“She was got dumped by someone. Serves her right!”
…
The whispering voices did not shun her, and Xia Jin could even hear quite a few insulting words.
Slam!
A few salespeople who were gossiping were shocked by the sudden sound and looked up at once.
Xia Jin slammed her hand on the table and looked at the crowd coldly. “What are you guys talking about?”
After the crowd came back to their senses, a bold salesperson rolled her eyes and crossed her arms in defiance. She said unwillingly, “What’s wrong with us talking? What, are you in charge of minding what other people say?”
“Do you really think that you can be so arrogant and bold just because you’re number one in sales this month?” Another salesman joined in. “Also, the rumors surrounding you have been going around for many days. The inspection team from the main store is coming soon, maybe you’ll be fired soon!”
A few salesmen looked at Xia Jin with disdain and triumph in their eyes, as if Xia Jin was a pitiful soul who was about to be kicked out soon.
“She’s leaving anyway, what’s the point of arguing with her? Hmph, let’s go.” Lin Li glared at Xia Jin, clearly still holding a grudge against her for what happened to Wang Ran.
Xia Jin looked at the receding figures of the crowd leaving and frowned.
What happened?
Xia Jin’s eyes moved and landed on Liu Hui, who had been leaning against the wall and using her phone.
Liu Hui was almost thirty years old, and she was considered to have a more stable and honest personality among the salespeople. She was usually not mean to Xia Jin. Xia Jin thought for a moment and walked towards Liu Hui, she asked straightforwardly, “Sister Hui, what happened? Why did they say that about me?”
Liu Hui glanced at Xia Jin subtly and then looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she whispered to Xia Jin, “How did the news of your past leak out? This is going to be troublesome!”
Xia Jin frowned, still a little confused, when Liu Hui’s phone stretched in front of her.
“Look.” Liu Hui’s tone was a little helpless. “A lot of people forwarded your news.”
On the phone was a long screenshot of some chat logs–
“Oh my god, is what happened to Xia Jin true?”
“It’s absolutely true! She’s been sleeping with Mr. Huo for years! On the surface, she is Huo Jue’s secretary, but in reality, she’s just a mistress! Tsk tsk, no wonder the competition in the Huo Corporation is so fierce, yet she’s been sitting in the position of chief secretary for so many years. As expected of her top-notch skills in bed…”
“What other gossip is there?”
“Didn’t she leave the Huo Corporation a while ago? She said she resigned of her own accord, but in fact, she was dumped! Huo Jue was bored with her. However, she didn’t give up. Not only did Xia Jin use tricks to get rid of the new secretaries by Huo Jue’s side, but she also shamelessly begged Huo Jue to let her come back. Tell me, how can she be so cheap…”
…
The avatars of those two were censored. Although the chat transcript was not long, it was full of gossip.
Xia Jin’s face turned pale. Liu Hui’s phone was on the verge of being scratched by her sharp nails.
“You…” Liu Hui sighed and took her phone away. Not knowing what to say, she just shook her head.
Xia Jin took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
“Sister Hui, please send me the screenshots, thanks.” Xia Jin did not defend herself, which made Liu Hui feel a little suspicious. Was Xia Jin really such a shameless and wild woman?
Liu Hui sent Xia Jin all the pictures of the chat records, and Xia Jin looked at her phone and began to ponder.
The person who leaked the information knew a lot about her and revealed a lot of information about the Huo Corporation and Huo Jue that was accurate. She must have been an employee of the company.
Or must have worked in the company before.
At first, Xia Jin suspected that Huo Jue had instructed people to taint her reputation, but she soon dismissed her suspicion.
Although Huo Jue was a despicable person, he would never do such a brazen thing. Even if he held any grievances against her, he would have come directly at her and would not give her a stab in the back.
Then, the person who broke the story must be the one who held a grudge against her.
That person had mentioned one line–”Xia Jin used tricks to get rid of the new secretaries by Huo Jue’s side.”
Although this sentence was not obvious in the pile of insulting and belittling words, and its tone was not strong, Xia Jin was like a cat that had caught a mouse, revealing a cold and sinister smile.
The new secretary who was chased away because of Xia Jin?
Jian Yan?
Or Annie?
Xia Jin put away her phone. Her eyes had already calmed down.
No matter who it was, she would not let these two people who slandered her off.
However, the most important thing now was to stabilize her job first.
Lin Li and the others were right. The inspectors from the main store would be coming over in the afternoon..
