My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 842: Calm in the Face of Danger

Employees began to complain bitterly.

"To speak the truth, it’s all Ye Lu’s fault, quite the harbinger of doom she is. Since she appeared, she’s brought scandal after scandal to the Jun Family, and now, with the plagiarism scandal, she’s even implicated a huge project worth hundreds of billions. I’ve never seen such a disaster magnet."

The moment someone mentioned Ye Lu, it immediately triggered collective fury, with the volume of mocking and derogatory comments increasing.

"Exactly. She has never brought anything good, just constantly causing trouble. The Jun Family really hit a streak of bad luck having her as a daughter-in-law."

"What else can you expect from a woman with no background or status, who climbed up the ranks by means of the child in her belly? Trouble is to be expected. That’s why in wealthy families, you should marry within your social class."

"This time she’s made such a big mess. She’s done for. Hey, do you think Third Young Master will sever ties with her to appease the public’s anger and kick her out?"

"Shh, she’s here, she’s watching us," an employee hastily shushed with a whisper.

The other employees turned around and saw Ye Lu entering the lobby with a group of people, her gaze sweeping coldly over them. Despite being just an ordinary woman, her stare carried an oppressive force that was unexpectedly commanding, more so than even the Old Chairman’s authoritative presence, suffocating them.

They choked internally, frustrated beyond measure, and let out disdainful snorts.

"What’s there to be afraid of? She’s not even a high-level executive in our company. Besides, she’s like a Bodhisattva trying to cross a river—she can hardly save herself now."

"Exactly. What use is glaring at us? Just wait and see how she gets drowned in the executives’ and shareholders’ scolding and anger. She’s definitely going to be their scapegoat."

Ye Lu dismissively withdrew her gaze and turned to Feiyu, tilting her chin up slightly.

"Later, have someone send the surveillance footage from the lobby to the administrative department. Idling away during work hours, gossiping, and violating the company’s rules and regulations. Do they not want their bonuses or even their positions anymore?"

Feiyu immediately called over the lobby manager and ordered sternly.

That group of employees instantly turned pale, embarrassed and angry. This woman was ruthless, actually using those threats against them, but they were caught red-handed and completely speechless, hastily dispersing.

Ye Lu snorted in disdain and walked briskly into the elevator, heading straight to the high floor where the meeting was held.

She was early, with fifteen minutes still to go before the meeting started.

"Feiyu, find a small conference room and call over the Tian Kun executives who are attending the meeting. I have some questions for them!" Ye Lu was unruffled in the face of danger, immediately making arrangements as soon as she arrived, not wasting a single minute.

Although she didn’t know what other leverage Jun Shi had to attack her in the meeting,

the more she could understand the ins and outs and the situation with Tian Kun now, the more confident she would be to confront Jun Shi head-on during the meeting.

Feiyu immediately hurried off to find people.

Ye Lu sat in the chair, exhaled deeply, and emptied her mind to let her tense spirit relax slightly.

Because soon, it would undoubtedly be an intense battle, and she needed to be fully prepared, keeping her mind and thoughts highly focused.

She clenched her fists in secret, determined to hold up Tian Kun!

"Where is he? Why are you the one to come?" asked Gu Yan, his voice filled with confusion and anger as he walked in with an icy expression. "Is he just going to be a coward, letting you, a woman, bear the brunt of the storm? Truly shameless."

Ye Lu frowned. "He’s still not well, and I volunteered to attend in his place. Gu Yan, watch your language."

Third Young Master Jun might not be exceptional, but when it came to major issues, he was certainly not irresponsible. She couldn’t stand to hear Gu Yan insult him like that.
