The five of them looked up toward the office door, and the moment they met Sheng Qi's sinister gaze, they all froze solid!
Damn, they hadn't even noticed the door had opened!
Bai Tang stood to the side, grinning as she asked, "Looks like I really wrote something special, otherwise why would you all be so engrossed? You didn't even notice us showing up!"
"Were you moved by my self-criticism letter?"
The entire office's pressure dropped repeatedly as Sheng Qi stepped inside, the danger index skyrocketing!
Chuyi and the other two almost instinctively stepped back, putting distance between themselves and Chuer.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaochu quickly followed suit, stepping back to separate himself from Chuer.
"Boss, it was Chuer!"
Chuyi spoke, raising a finger to point at Chuer, who stood there dumbfounded, still holding the self-criticism letter: "Chuer insisted on coming in. I was trying to warn him, to drag him out, but who knew he'd just start reading the letter!"
Chuer stared at Chuyi: "..."
You're really something, bro!
Is this how you screw me over?
Chuer turned his gaze to You Yu, hoping for a fair word!
You Yu nodded at Sheng Qi: "That's right, we all came to help drag Chuer out, but he absolutely refused and insisted on grabbing the self-criticism letter!"
Chuer: "..."
Before he could look at Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi also nodded in agreement: "Yeah, that's how it was!"
Chuer: "..."
Damn, these three bastards!
Chuer finally looked at Zhang Xiaochu, warning him with his eyes to watch his words.
Zhang Xiaochu ignored him with a smug look and calmly said, "Everything they said is correct!"
Chuer: "..."
I swear, I want to grab a knife and chop these four up!
So much for brothers sharing hardships—the moment trouble hits, they shove me out as cannon fodder. And the worst part? They're so damn coordinated!
Damn!!!
Chuer gritted his teeth: None of you think you're getting away!
"Boss, they forced me to read it!"
The four behind him shook their heads in unison.
Sheng Qi stared at him coldly and said, "Enjoying yourself?"
Chuer was on the verge of tears: "No, Boss, I'm not enjoying it at all!"
"With such passion and emotion, I underestimated you," Sheng Qi smirked, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "You're something else!"
Chuer felt wronged: "Boss, I was wrong!"
The four behind him watched Chuer's pitiful look without a shred of sympathy, silently thinking: Indeed, one person dying is better than the whole group getting wiped out!
"I think you're having a great time!" Bai Tang said with a laugh. "The way you were all animated, it's clear you agree this self-criticism letter of mine is pretty well-written, right?"
Chuer shot Bai Tang a resentful look: Miss, please don't say anything right now!
Aren't you just throwing me into the fire?
Chuer nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, so how was he supposed to answer?
Whether yes or no, it seemed like death either way!
"Sister-in-law, I was wrong!" Chuer forced a smile.
Bai Tang curled her lips into a wicked grin, but her gaze shifted to the four behind him. "I just saw you four listening really intently too, and from your mesmerized expressions, it's clear you're all very interested in my self-criticism letter. Don't you all think it's sincere and exceptionally well-written?"
The four: "..."
Miss, you really should just shut up!
Meeting their resentful stares, Bai Tang grinned roguishly, thinking to herself: Did you really think you could just casually read the love-filled self-criticism letter I wrote for my beauty?
