Gu Chen flicked the invisible dust off his sleeve and glanced at Shen Xian indifferently, saying coolly,
"You speak."
Shen Xian met his gaze, seeing an aloofness in his eyes that she had never encountered before.
"This was originally just a personal dispute between us, completely unrelated to work. If she's fired just because of this, it's unreasonable."
At the moment, Ma Qi did not know if it was out of anger or because of Gu Chen's unreasonable decision, but she found herself unsteady on her feet, her hands trembling slightly as they braced against the tabletop.
Hearing Shen Xian speak on her behalf, she always felt an inexplicable sense of superiority from her. In a fit of irritation, Ma Qi lost all regard for anything else.
"Do I need you to plead for me? You think too highly of yourself!"
"Ma Qi!" Tang Yin gripped her shoulders, his eyes flashing a stern warning, "Cut it out."
Gu Chen was also aggravated by Ma Qi. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Xian beat him to it.
