Chapter 181 Being Utterly Discredited

Without replying to Victor's message, Melinda did her job conscientiously as usual, but she paid more
attention to the management of documents.

She also needed to know why the draft was the same.

There was an unscheduled meeting in the afternoon of the department, and it was Victor who was in
charge. Everyone knew that the temporary meeting was held because of Melinda. As for the reason, it
was hard to figure out.

Melinda was the latest one to walk into the meeting room. There were still three minutes before the
meeting time. Victor sat at the head of the conference table and looked at the crowd. Melinda lowered
her head with a disheveled look.

Three minutes later, the meeting began. Victor stated the opening remarks as usual. Melinda took a
signature pen and scribbled on the paper.

"I believe that many people have heard the rumor recently, but I believe in Melinda. As her colleague, I
also hope that everyone can give her trust. In addition, if I find that someone is discussing something
related to the company during work time, I will just fire him or her!"

His tone was as gentle as the peacemaker in the front, but his following words sounded serious.

Victor's attitude remained the same as before to see if anyone dared to challenge him.

Melinda was also shocked to see that the man who had just said serious words now smile to her gently.

After a while, the meeting had come to an end and there was no need for the meeting to go on. Victor
directly asked his assistant to dismiss the meeting. After he left, the meeting room was in an uproar.

But all of them were talking wildly on wechat.



After packing her personal belongings, Melinda looked down at the A4 paper on the table. She didn't
know when, a person's name was wrote on the paper.

She crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can in a guilty conscience. Then Melinda
became the third person to walk out of the meeting room after Victor and his assistant.

"I've long felt that something must have happened between them. Now it seems to be true, otherwise,
Mr. Cheng would not still defend her like this at this time. Doesn't he worry that his behavior will break
the hearts of other employees?"

one of the employees said angrily, while the others echoed her words, firmly believing that the
relationship between Melinda and Victor was shameful.

However, they all ignored one thing that Melinda was also in this group, where there were a lot of
worse comments than before.

Looking at the messages in the wechat group, Melinda gave a weird smile.

After thinking for a while, Melinda came to the end of the corridor, where there was an office that had
occupied half of the floor, which was Victor's office.

The door was opened, and Melinda walked in, only to see several assistants busy with their work. They
had the same attitude as before, and they were still the same.

"Mel, are you here for Mr. Cheng? Let me help you tell him."

While saying, the secretary dialed a number. As soon as the door was opened, Melinda walked into the
office. Immediately, she saw Victor still sitting on the sofa, on which there were a lot of food.

Melinda was not like his subordinate, but a friend.



"Mr. Cheng."

Melinda didn't sit down on the sofa. She just stood at 1.5 meters away from the sofa and said politely.
Obviously, Victor was a little unhappy with her attitude, but he didn't say anything more. He pointed to
the seat beside him and said, "Have a seat."

"No, I just want to say something," Melinda refused with a smile, her bright eyes full of alienation.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Cheng," Melinda said as she took a slight bow. She was grateful to Victor
for his trust and protection, but it didn't mean that she was unwilling to accept his kind offer.

Raising his eyebrows, Victor looked at her, wondering what she was going to do. He wasn't stupid
enough to think that Melinda came here for this.

"I just thanked you as a friend. Now as a subordinate, I don't think Mr. Cheng should do this for me."
Melinda seemed to be smiling, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Her tone was still neither hasty nor slow, as if the person sitting opposite to her was only an old friend.
They were not discussing something important, but ordinary greetings.

"Mr. Cheng, you are the superior of our company. Your choice depends on your mood, but have you
ever thought that it will only make things worse, and... It will have an opposite result."

Instantly, Melinda became harsh and her tone was with a touch of seriousness. She had no qualms of
guilt, but such an announcement made by Victor made those people more righteous to criticize her,
And this behavior would make people felt that she was guilty.

"Who the hell dare continue to discuss this thing? I'll fire him immediately. I am not joking." All of a
sudden, Victor stood up and clapped his hands against the coffee table, making a loud noise. The staff
outside looked at each other, confused.



Mr. Cheng hadn't lost his temper for a long time. What did Melinda do to make him so angry?

Melinda was also shocked by his anger, but she reacted quickly and said, "I'm just talking about it. Mr.
Cheng, you have to think about it from different angles. I remember that you always say that."

Victor was so angry that Melinda's pacifying words and her formulaic smile on her face made him
uncomfortable.

He did all these for the woman in front of him, but she refused him.

"Who is talking behind my back?" He looked at Melinda with a judge's eyes, as if he would not give up
until he found a name from her mouth.

"No one."

Of course, Melinda had no doubt that Victor would really do that. She just didn't want to make the
situation worse so that she came to find him.

The thing went on. Melinda felt hard to explain it. After pondering for a while, she left in silence.

Several assistants who were gossiping outside the door which was suddenly opened. They were all
embarrassed, but Melinda left indifferently.

Melinda's mood was somewhat affected by the rumor. She was unable to deal with the blank papers all
day long.

Although this matter was only wildly spread in the literary circle, it still had a big impact on the Internet
for everyone to gossip with their relatives and friends.

As soon as Emily knew about this, she immediately found out Sandy.



Sandy was very popular with the literary circle. After this matter, she had got a lot of fans. She felt very
pleased for a while.

Sandy looked inconspicuous in the street. She wore a pair of black framed glasses and thick bangs,
with her hair scattered on both sides, blocking most of her face.

She was a little chubby. The loose overcoat covered her lack of confidence in herself.

The way she dressed showed the huge difference between her and Emily in front of her.

Emily was dressed in a white suit together with a beige coat. Her curly hair was smoothed meticulously
and her delicate makeup made Sandy look a little ashamed.

The woman in front of her was so beautiful that people would feel ashamed of themselves. She could
not help but lift her hair to cover up her embarrassment.

"Hello," Emily said with a gentle smile, but in her heart, she looked down upon Sandy.

"Hello." Sandy didn't expect that Emily would be so kind and nice to her. She was flattered and
stretched out her hand hesitantly, feeling that everything was not real.

It felt like when she got an invitation from Emily on the phone.

"Don't be nervous. I just want to have a talk with you. You know Melinda, right?" Emily giggled, and
then said to Sandy, without missing the disgust and jealousy in her eyes.

Sandy's style of literary work was similar to that of Melinda. Therefore, they often be compared by
others. It had been many years before Sandy finally got her current position. Now that Melinda's status
was as high as hers just in one year, she was more annoyed.



What was more, recently, she had a very complicated relationship with Melinda. It would be very
strange if she said she didn't know her, so she nodded directly. "Of course."

"I've heard about things between you two. I don't like that woman, just like you!" Emily never hid her
hatred for Melinda. At this moment, the hatred in her eyes was quite similar to Sandy's resentment in
her eyes.

They seemed to have found something in common, and did not hide the dirty thoughts in their hearts at
once. They began to talk about the damage they had suffered because of Melinda.

By this way, Emily had a feeling that Sandy was a person she could make use of.

"In fact, there is another thing that I want to tell you."

After a while, Emily finally showed what she wanted. To Sandy's surprise, she took out an envelope
from her bag.

The yellow paper envelope was thick. Anyone who knew something about business would know that it
was a large sum of money.

"Miss Bai, what do you mean?"

A writer loved self-esteem, and Sandy was no exception. In her eyes, Emily's behavior was an insult to
her.

"Don't be so excited. I just think we get along very well. Please, I just want you to help me do
something. The thing is just a simple thing for you to do."

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Emily used the word "please" to make Sandy's expression a
little better.



"Neither you nor I like Melinda. I hope you will keep your mouth shut about this, and make Melinda be
questioned more. It is better that she does not survive in this circle!"

What Emily wanted to say more was that being utterly discredited, she finally held it back. As soon as
Sandy heard the words, her eyes lit up. Making Melinda unable to survive in the literary circle, wasn't
that what she wanted to see?

In this case, there was no conflict between the two, so she accepted Emily's money happily.

"I won't give up easily. Such a person doesn't deserve to stay in this circle," Sandy said ruthlessly.
