Everyone waited with bated breath as Xia Lin made the call.
The call connected quickly, and Xia Lin, who had been so confident earlier, suddenly switched tones.
She now spoke like a pitiful child, saying tearfully, "Daddy, someone bullied me."
She even started crying.
The room fell silent.
Chen Mumu was left speechless.
Manager Wu was left speechless.
The staff were left speechless.
Even the woman stood frozen, her jaw dropping in disbelief.
They all stared at Xia Lin as if she had turned into a completely different person.
Just moments ago, she was authoritative and sharp.
Now, she sounded as though she had been beaten by a thousand strokes of a cane.
Ignoring their stunned gazes, Xia Lin continued crying into the phone.
"Someone bullied me, Daddy, and they even fired me from my job."
She sniffled dramatically.
"Now that I'm jobless, will Daddy take me back to his house today?"
