Chapter 380: Chapter 380

Though the girl was angry, she also knew that continuing to argue about this matter wouldn’t be meaningful.

It was her own foolishness to blame, having been used as a pawn.

She glared fiercely at Meng Qiao and scornfully said, "Heh, I don’t even know what kind of ’green tea’ you are, but your flavor is quite strong."

Meng Qiao just pretended not to understand and kept a smiling face without getting annoyed.

The former felt like hitting cotton with her punch and, fuming, returned to her seat.

Others who originally wanted to blame Meng Qiao, seeking to confront her, also lowered their flags and drums upon seeing this scene. They just felt that Meng Qiao was thick-skinned and scheming, silently reminding themselves to keep a distance from her in the future.

After the engagement party ended, Shen Weiyi took a day off to rest.

Firstly, the engagement party had been exhausting; secondly, after the banquet, she knew that many colleagues would learn of her status. Delaying her return by a day also allowed everyone to adjust their mindset.

The next day, she went back to the company as usual.

Upon entering, she found everyone’s attitudes towards her had completely changed.

Everyone looked at her with cautious eyes, mixed with a hint of ingratiating behavior, a stark contrast to their previous attitudes.

Shen Weiyi had anticipated this behavior.

After all, they had treated Meng Qiao similarly before.

Now it was just a switch in the target.

However, the treatment towards Meng Qiao was more placating than cautious, while now it leaned more towards caution perhaps fearing retribution from Shen Weiyi after the previous incidents.

Shen Weiyi didn’t plan to pursue the matter afterwards; after all, elevating or demeaning others is human nature.

Every company had such people; she couldn’t just let them lose their jobs because she disliked them.

In the end, whether they could stay in the company still depended on their capabilities.

After a week of nervousness, seeing that the company hadn’t informed them of their dismissal or made other arrangements, and everything remained as before, they finally confirmed that Shen Weiyi hadn’t planned to make things difficult for them.

The anxiety they had been carrying was finally put to rest slightly.

After all, the treatment at Shen Technology was among the top in the entire industry; otherwise, it wouldn’t have attracted so many people desperately wanting to join the company.

Even going so far as to please the "Princess" by sidelining newcomers.

Though they had kept their jobs for the moment, having offended the "Princess," their future promotions and salary increases would likely be challenging.

Chen Rong looked in Shen Weiyi’s direction, hesitating for a long while before finally mustering the courage to approach her. She placed a cup of coffee on the table in front of her and said, "This is for you. I was wrong about before, and I’m sorry."

Shen Weiyi glanced at her, then at the coffee on the table, and said, "Thanks!"

Chen Rong had been prepared to be rejected, but was taken aback when Shen Weiyi accepted it. Looking somewhat uncomfortable, she asked, "You’re not angry with me?"

"What would I be angry about?"

Chen Rong sheepishly said, "I deliberately made things difficult for you before..."

In the past few days, she had been very scared, fearing that Shen Weiyi would seek retribution. But after waiting so many days, without receiving any notice from the HR department, it had felt like a sword was hanging over her head, not knowing when it might drop.

After much thought, Chen Rong decided to take the initiative and clear things up with Shen Weiyi, to know definitively if she would stay or go.

Shen Weiyi indifferently said, "Isn’t it normal for newcomers to be oppressed in the workplace? Besides, I wasn’t really affected." Chen Rong had indeed made things difficult for her, but she hadn’t suffered any loss.

Chen Rong finally returned to her seat, somewhat sheepishly, but at least her heart had settled back into her stomach.

Meanwhile, Meng Qiao watched the two women, her eyes flashing slightly, then walked towards Shen Weiyi’s direction as well...
