Chapter 52.1 “Lest you scold me behind my back again.”

Although she didn’t make a move herself, because of the unexpected off-field assistance of Qitian Dasheng, for the first time in her life, Bai Duanduan actually enjoyed a lie-in win.

Not only did Dai Qin and herself have their names right, but it also triggered a discussion on the institutional protection of pregnant women in the workplace. Guifeng Communication’s disgusting pregnancy scheduling system was also criticised and attacked by public opinion, and Du Xinyi, who was acting as Guifeng Communication’s lawyer, was subjected to a wave of abuse for her behavior of deliberately finding a marketing account to lead the rhythm of public opinion.

Wang Fangfang felt particularly relieved after reading this, “This Du Xinyi is the one who used to put you in small shoes and squeeze you at ZhaoHui, right? I have found that the more incompetent people are, the more they want to crowd out the competent ones, because she is worried that when the competent ones stand next to her, it will be clear who is a phoenix and who is a chicken. Just like in a harem, where they are not good looking but want to fight for power, so naturally they want to kill the naturally beautiful ones first.”

Yang Fan also echoed, “Now we can be sure that the clouds will open and the moon will shine. But I just don’t understand, if you had fought to the end, although the process was a bit worse and took more time, it’s not like you couldn’t have killed someone like Du Xinyi in return, right? How come you never did it? Is it because of the ‘why should women make things difficult for women’ mentality?”

Because Du Xinyi did not deserve to spend so much time on herself.

It was also because Bai Duanduan did not want to become like her.

If you wrestle with an evil dragon for too long, you will become an evil dragon yourself; if you gaze into the abyss for too long, the abyss will gaze back. Bai Duanduan had always believed in this saying.

Du Xinyi was a person who lacked respect for the law and lacked moral restraint in her heart. Justice was not worth mentioning in her eyes. She only cares about winning cases and gaining reputation and getting money, not willing to improve her own abilities, but likes to gang up on dissidents and achieve her goals by clinging to Lin Hui. She was so hypocritical and pretentious. Her heart was only so small. She was afraid that her position was unstable, so she was desperately trying to exclude Bai DuanDuan who also has a position in Lin Hui’s heart. She was hateful and pathetic.

Du Xinyi treats herself in a nasty way, if she retaliates in the same way, how is it different from her?

Only now did Bai Duanduan realize that when she treated Ji Lin, Ji Lin’s mother, and colleagues around her, she could laugh and scold and try to win with reason, but before that, she often failed to achieve any success with Du Xinyi and could only endure it silently. 

This is not at all the case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong or killing the familiar, but simply because Ji Lin, or Ji Lin’s mother, or these colleagues around herself, were all people of good nature, while Du Xinyi was not.

Bai Duanduan’s way of doing things was effective for a gentleman, but it was useless for a villain.

A person like Du Xinyi has no bottom line and does things without scruples. If one wants to completely overpower her just for the sake of a bit of spite, one might be forced step by step to use tactics that are even more poisonous than hers.

It would not be worth it.

Bai Duanduan was convinced that if she doesn’t teach Du Xinyi to behave, sooner or later life will teach her a lesson, and all this current situation was a reflection of that. If you run roughshod over people for too long, you will always kick the iron.

——

Ji Lin probably learned of this soon afterwards. During the tea break, Bai Duanduan was eating a biscuit when she bumped into Ji Lin, who had come to fetch black tea.

Ji Lin looked at Bai Duanduan. Obviously he was the boss, but for some reason, Bai Duanduan didn’t feel any uncomfortable feelings after seeing him. Instead it was Ji Lin who was a little uncomfortable, he even looked a little nervous, his body movements were a little tense.

However, even though he was uncomfortable, he was the one who took the initiative to greet her.

Ji Lin took the black tea and did not go back to his office immediately as he used to. Instead he stood not far away from Bai Duanduan. He took a few sips of the black tea and then slightly raised his eyelids, “You should be in a good mood today.”

“Eh?”

This man was standing in front of the glass window at the moment. His eyes were focused on the forested skyscrapers outside. If not for the fact that there was only Bai Duanduan there besides him, Bai Duanduan would have thought that Ji Lin was talking to someone else……

This time, Ji Lin finally turned his head to look at Bai Duanduan, “I saw what happened to Du Xinyi.”

Bai Duanduan finally reacted this time. It was just that she hated Du Xinyi, but she still had one thing to say after many things, and she looked to Ji Lin, “Actually, to be honest, I’m not much happier that Du Xinyi is in this position now, and I don’t feel good.”

Bai Duanduan pursed her lips, “Although she should be scolded for two points which are- leading public opinion in a vain attempt to force Dai Qin to leave her job and for buying hot searches to disgust me by disclosing my information after her skills were not as good as me. However, the claim for invalidation and the subsequent transfer are in fact within the scope of the lawyer’s work and it is out of a professional perspective to help the client to think of countermeasures, which is also a normal solution that a lawyer would think of. But you see, many netizens are now scolding her, mainly from a moral standpoint, for even representing such a disgusting company as Guifeng Communications and for coming up with such an underhanded response, but she was doing what a lawyer should have done.”

At this moment, a bird flew outside the window and rested on the edge of the window. Bai Duanduan unconsciously looked towards the bird, and therefore did not realise that Ji Lin was actually looking at herself very intently while she was talking.
