After getting her files ready Yuerui went to the main building to report to Xianwang. She thought there might occur something interesting in front of her. She might hear Xianwang saying something to Si ying about her yesterday. But nothing happened. She reported to Xianwang like her usual self. And in return Xianwang rewarded her with huge pile of work.
'Thanks for all these work you are giving me, weirdo.' Yuerui thought.
She greeted Xianwang and returned to the marketing department. She has to complete these by the day and also submit to him.
After Yuerui left the place Si ying entered the room for gossiping.
"You again messed with that girl, didn't you?" Si ying was feeling sorry for Yuerui.
"No. I gave her the work that she deserves." Xianwang replied while working on his computer.
"Can't you be a little easy on her today? She really had a rough day yesterday, you know." Si ying said.
"You think she didn't have any idea of Ruo's plan?" Xianwang said while looking at him from the corner of his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Si ying was surprised.
"The whole drama at the auditorium yesterday, was conducted by her." Xianwang announced it to his friend.
Si ying, who was sitting leisurely on the chair in front of the table lost his balance after hearing Xianwang. He grabbed the glass of water and drank some of it.
"Dude, are you serious? How can that be possible?" Si ying said in between drinking water.
"I have seen her expression when she saw Ruo showing Yuerui's work to Zongguan as her work. The second her eyes fell on the foil, she knew it was hers. But...." Xianwang was telling his theory as in telling a story.
"But! She didn't say anything then. Not even argued with her. She kept her mind cool and waited for the great show." Xianwang said.
"Whoa.... I didn't know she has such a shrewd and clever mind. She can be really dangerous." Si ying said while being surprised.
"Actually I really admire her even more now." Xianwang said.
Hearing his friend praising someone for something like this Si ying fell from his chair.
"Dude, you? You are praising her?" Si ying couldn't believe his ears.
"You don't get it. The way she tackled the situation was praiseworthy. By doing so she not only made the guilty to be found out, but also maintained her relationship with her."
He added," If she started to argue with her over the file, then Ruo might have already become an enemy of her. And this my friend is not in her benefit. After all she is her colleague, and she has to work with her."
"Your explanation actually makes sense." Si ying nodded.
Xianwang continued, "She also made a great achievement by this drama. I heard she was being bullied by Ran Ruo and other female colleagues. So this will make everyone shut their mouth and make them to be humane with her."
What he said was actually true. Now the female colleagues were not as hostile as they were before to Yuerui.
He again said, " This whole drama also made Ruo feel guilty. So she will not adapt such scheme again. And to make her say sorry to her, I helped her a little bit." Saying so Xianwang winked at his friend.
"So the whole raging thing yesterday, was your acting! Whoa! You are such a great actor. But not as good as Mai Yuerui. She just did such a great job. And after hearing your thoughts I also admire her. She handled the situation well." Si ying said while swinging his chair.
"Did you come here to gossip only" Xianwang's sudden ask made Si ying unprepared.
"Oh that... I was just about to leave. I have a lot of work you know..." Saying so Si ying ran off from the office.
Xianwang only gave a light chuckle over his friend and went back to his work.

After lunch Xianwang didn't had much work to do. He was strolling in his own office. Feeling bored he went next to the forbidden door and pressed the pass code of the door. He entered the room to pass some of his time. But he was interrupted in his playtime by a sudden call.
He took his phone and found that it was his mom. He came at the egde of the room while leaning on the forbidden door. The room was still open.
"What it is mom? You are calling me suddenly?" He asked.
"Xia... Xian.... Your dad.... I don't know what.... What happened. Please come quickly. Hurry!" His mom said from the other side of the phone. She was sounding really anxious and serious.
Xianwang didn't feel any good about the call and became tense. In his anxiousness, he lost his balance a little and fell some of the files from the adjoining shelf. He didn't even bother to get his coat and ran off from the office. He didn't see that the files fell at the edge of the forbidden room and had blocked the door from locking. Thus the room remained unlocked.
