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.
However, after a while, many people reacted, and their disgust for her was openly displayed.
Although they didnāt say anything to her face, after she walked past, a few of them gathered together and whispered:
"How dare she show up?"
"Right, isnāt she afraid of being drowned in spit?"
"If I were her... I would just stay indoors, isnāt 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 thereās no smoke without fire. Didnāt 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 trueāwithout any evidenceāat least, thatās what the public believes.
Xiao Man walked to the directorās 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 wouldnāt dare to mess with her in person. Plus, with the suddenness of the event, most peopleās 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 canāt go in! The directors are having a meeting..."
"A meeting?" Xiao Man smiled, "A meeting at this time?"
Whatās important is what the meeting is about.
"Sister Man! You really canāt 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 Iām not worried?"
Suddenly, someone probably received a call, "Director! They said Xiao Man has arrived, sheās coming this way."
"Stop her! Just say weāre not here!" After speaking, still muttering angrily, "At this critical moment, she still comes! Want more chaos? Doesnāt she know sheās now a street rat, daring to come here! Donāt let me see her! If I see her, I willā"
"Director..."
Xiao Man opened the door, standing before them, smiled, "Director, I am here, you can tell me to my face. Now youāve seen me, Director, what would you like to do?"
Xiao Manās arrival froze the entire meeting room, and silence ensued.
