The door slammed shut once again in front of Xing Yujun, her lips trembling with anger.

"This is too much, it's really too much." Xing Yujun's hands, hanging at her sides, clenched into tight fists, her body shaking with rage. She wanted to angrily kick the door, but ultimately held onto some hope, not wanting to completely close this final crack.

Xing Yujun's hard work and hustle did not bring the company any chances of revival. The company still collapsed under Xing Yujun's watch.

"You liar, we trusted you so much, yet you deceived us. You promised that within a week the company would be revived, and what happened?"

Under the company building, former high-level executives surrounded Xing Yujun, each normally posing as a gentleman now revealing a frenzied and foolish side.

"We believed your nonsense, and now we've lost everything, going bankrupt one after another. We want to settle this account clearly with you; you must shoulder our losses."

"Why? Is the company's current downfall solely because of me? Isn't it because of everyone? When the company was giving out dividends before, I didn't hear any of you saying to give that money to me, but now that the company is bankrupt, you're putting all the blame on me. Don't you think you're being too shameless and excessive?"

Upon hearing their plans, Xing Yujun's eyes widened in shock, "In the company, you all relied on your seniority to act superior in front of me, undermining my authority, trying to seize power from me. Now things have gone wrong, you want to push me out and make me the scapegoat. I'm telling you, that's impossible! Give up on that idea, I'm not some pushover for you to manipulate."

Xing Yujun shot a sideways glare with a hostile look at the crowd surrounding her, her eyes sending a warning.

"Your words are off the mark. Don't think that just because we're older and don't frequent the internet, we don't know about your filthy affairs."

"My filthy affairs? What filthy affairs do I have? I'm upright and straightforward; what filthy matters do I have for you to bring up?" Xing Yujun sneered, asking confidently and disdainfully.

"Xing Yujun, you better think it through. If I reveal your dirt in front of everyone today, you'll never have a chance to turn it around again," someone from the crowd surrounding Xing Yujun shouted with their head held high.

"I'm also curious about what filthy things I supposedly did that you can bring up in such a public setting. Go ahead, say it in front of everyone today, let me see and learn. Tell me what mistake I supposedly made," Xing Yujun retorted, refusing to show weakness.

"Alright, you said it yourself, don't regret it."

"I won't regret it. Whoever regrets it is a bastard," Xing Yujun snorted, fully confident that they wouldn't find any dirt on her. Her words carried such certainty that she seemed free from guilt, causing others' eyes to dart between the two sides, unsure of whom to believe.

"You asked for this," the person sneered at Xing Yujun, then turned his gaze to the others.

"You probably don't know, but the reason our company got into such a mess, offending such an untouchable figure, leading our company to its demise, making all our years of hard work come to nothing—shouldn't this woman compensate us?"

Their words dug up a secret Xing Yujun most wanted to bury, making her expression falter.

"What? Is there really such a thing?" Others, unaware of the inside story, were struck by the suddenness and reality of the news on their faces.

They exchanged looks, each reading a similar message from the others' faces, then redirected their gaze onto Xing Yujun.

This time, their gaze on Xing Yujun carried a lot of murderous intent.

If not for living in a law-abiding society, and with their years of effort destroyed by Xing Yujun, perhaps they would have lunged at her by now, skinning her alive.

"Do you know why she brought disaster to our company?" Someone asked, staring at Xing Yujun's face with a look that could have skinned her alive.

"What else could it be, of course, because of her lustful tendencies. Of all the people to fancy, she had to fancy the one not to be offended, even chasing and trying to keep him. The person aware of the insider information mocked Xing Yujun, using a derisive tone.

"Does she even consider who he is and who she is? Ha, would that person care for her money? In the end, she didn't secure the person, but got herself involved instead. She wants to drag us down too, truly lacking all sense of propriety."

The person who exposed this matter grew increasingly furious and sorrowful as they spoke, finally throwing caution to the wind and, despite their age, tearing up in front of everyone, about to cry out loud.

"Xing Yujun, aren't the male models and male stars in the company enough for you? Why did you have to look outside? Are you that damn thirsty for a man? Were you a damn whore in your past life?"

Someone with a fiery temper, inflamed by the revelation, no longer concerned whether Xing Yujun was male or female, raised their hand and slapped her.

The loud slap made everyone else hold their breath; for a moment, no one spoke, and the scene fell silent.

"You hit me? On what grounds do you hit me? We're all the same; what makes you pretend to be noble here? Yes, I, Xing Yujun, am involved with men, but can you honestly say you've never been involved with women? How many female stars, female models, female trainees in the company haven't you touched? Some even went as far as threatening to commit suicide, right? Back then, if not for the company's timely crisis management, it might have already been bankrupt."

Xing Yujun said while wiping the blood from her mouth, speaking with the same mocking tone.

"Do you know the difference between you and me? It's that your crisis management was timely, while mine wasn't. So you don't have any ground to criticize me. The company reaching this point is a responsibility we all share, no one can escape it, hahaha."

Xing Yujun's ominous eyes swept over each person surrounding her, her gaze cold like a southern winter, chilling to the bone, impossible to entirely shield from, no matter how many layers were worn.
