"It's okay, Jie. No need…" Huo Mian smiled, she didn't seem angered by Zhang Manlin's provocation.
"How could you? If you don't go off on her, she's going to step all over you. If you don't show her what you're capable of, she'll treat you like a sandbag… You're our vice director, you've never been afraid. You took care of Song Yishi so well…" Chen Jie was a gentlewoman but even she couldn't take the abuse anymore.
She was telling Ni Yang this yesterday, and he almost came to South Side to yell at Zhang Manlin.
"Jie, it's not about fear… If a dog barks at a lion, the lion would never look back… A warrior would never use a sword to kill a fly… If I keep sinking to their level, it means that I am no better. I really have no time to deal with people like Zhang Manlin."
"But Sister Mian, what if she poses a threat to you?" Chen Jie was a little worried.
