In fact, she showed up without any disguise, and seemed unfazed by the possibility of being recognized.

For a moment, when they saw her come in, they thought she was the Xiao Man from before, overwhelmed by her presence, and instinctively stepped aside. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

However, after a while, many people reacted, and their disgust for her was openly displayed.

Although they didn’t say anything to her face, after she walked past, a few of them gathered together and whispered:

"How dare she show up?"

"Right, isn’t she afraid of being drowned in spit?"

"If I were her... I would just stay indoors, isn’t she ashamed? Ah, I used to think despite being so brutally slandered, she still seemed to live so splendidly, a truly good person, so strong. Turns out it was all true, I mistakenly idolized her!"

"Looks like there’s no smoke without fire. Didn’t rumors last month claim she was seen aborting at a hospital? It might also be true!"

"They also said she has some kind of disease... often seen going to the hospital. I think so too, look at her chaotic personal life, catching some disease is possible."

When one or two incidents turn out to be true, other related rumors that seem plausible also become true—without any evidence—at least, that’s what the public believes.

Xiao Man walked to the director’s room, and the staff busy outside saw her and widened their eyes, "Man... Man... Sister Man!"

Though such an incident occurred, Xiao Man, after all, has her reputation, and has been famous for many years; most people wouldn’t dare to mess with her in person. Plus, with the suddenness of the event, most people’s first reaction upon seeing her was still awe.

Xiao Man smiled as if nothing had happened, "Am I a monster? To scare you like this."

"No... no..." The young girl thought, could this incident really be true? How can she be so composed...

Xiao Man took a step forward, and the young girl stepped back, "Man, Sister Man! You can’t go in! The directors are having a meeting..."

"A meeting?" Xiao Man smiled, "A meeting at this time?"

What’s important is what the meeting is about.

"Sister Man! You really can’t go in!"

The young girl blocking the way was pushed aside by Xiao Man, who went straight up, her hand already on the doorknob.

By then, you could vaguely hear what they were discussing inside.

"The show is about to start, who can we find to save the show at this time! Someone like Xiao Man, without prior arrangement, who would be free to come? If we have a gap today, our entire department will suffer!"

"Who knew we would encounter such bad luck! Think I’m not worried?"

Suddenly, someone probably received a call, "Director! They said Xiao Man has arrived, she’s coming this way."

"Stop her! Just say we’re not here!" After speaking, still muttering angrily, "At this critical moment, she still comes! Want more chaos? Doesn’t she know she’s now a street rat, daring to come here! Don’t let me see her! If I see her, I will—"

"Director..."

Xiao Man opened the door, standing before them, smiled, "Director, I am here, you can tell me to my face. Now you’ve seen me, Director, what would you like to do?"

Xiao Man’s arrival froze the entire meeting room, and silence ensued.
