Su Meimei gulped visibly.

Qiao Lian slowly walked to the picture on the ground, bent over and picked it up from the pulp.

The roses had already left their mark and soiled her precious memory.

Qiao Lian stared at the picture and attempted to clean it with her sleeve. Soon, the brim of her eyes were filled with hot tears, but she held her eyes wide open so that the tears would not fall.

Once, twice…

The rose pulp stain was lighter, but there was still a pink tint on the picture.

She didn’t dare use any force to rub off the tint, fearing that it would damage the print.

She bit her lip with strength, staring intently at the picture, and then she slowly looked up at Su Meimei.

Su Meimei was terrified and didn’t dare utter a word, even though her lips were quivering. She managed to stammer a few rude and unreasonable remarks, trying to hide her own guilt. “You, what are you staring at? So what if I destroyed your belongings? What can you do to me?”

In a flash, Qiao Lian’s expression turned sharp and penetrating.

Su Meimei wished to swallow the last few words she had said.

She gulped again and when she saw the picture Qiao Lian was holding, she sneered, “An old tattered photograph, is it even worth anything?”

Qiao Lian’s expression turned even uglier.

Although she had not said a word, the office was icy cold.

The members of Team One stood at the door, holding their breaths, not even daring to exhale.

Qiao Lian had never been a softie, everyone knew that. Although the chief editor of Team One and Su Meimei had opposed her for a long time, they had not really been successful in derailing her and had even watched her climb, one step at a time, into the position of chief editor for Team Two.

Hence now… Qiao Lian would surely not let Su Meimei go easily.

So was she going to hit someone now?

At this point, they heard Qiao Lian speak, “Get out.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Su Meimei, on the other hand, suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

Qiao Lian’s expression a moment ago had made her think for a moment that Qiao Lian would really hit her.

Since Qiao Lian was only asking her to get out, it proved that Qiao Lian wouldn’t dare do anything to her.

She had destroyed Qiao Lian’s office, but all Qiao Lian could do was to ask her to get out.

Su Meimei snorted coldly.

Qiao Lian, this is reality. You can’t do much without power and authority. With the managing editor behind me, what are you?

At this point, she even raised her hand and gave Qiao Lian a push before she walked out haughtily.

Shi Nianyao glanced at Qiao Lian and then quickly told the crowd, “Back to work, back to work, what are you guys looking at?”

The members of Team One immediately scattered like birds, although rumours and gossips had already begun to surface in the news agency.

Shi Nianyao shut the office door behind them and turned around again. She found Qiao Lian standing there with great despair, looking at the photograph in her hands.

She quickly walked over and saw that Qiao Lian’s face was wet with tears.

Taken aback, she called out, “Chief Editor Lian Lian.”

Qiao Lian looked up with a firm and unwavering expression. “I will not let her go.”

Shi Nianyao nodded. “This person doesn’t know her limits. We definitely can’t let her go! Chief Editor Lian Lian, tell me, what are you going to do?”

When Qiao Lian had held back and refrained from hitting Su Meimei, Shi Nianyao knew at that very moment that this hatred was no small matter.

Qiao Lian was a person who made a clear distinction between love and hatred. If she had made an immediate counter-attack, it would mean evening the score, making it water under the bridge.

The fact that she hadn’t… well, Su Meimei was in deep trouble.

Shi Nianyao rubbed her palms together, saying, “From my very first day of work here I’ve disliked her. Now let’s show her what we’ve got! Chief Editor Lian Lian, I’ll help you!”
