It suddenly occurred to Tang Ling that the data seemed rather familiar?! He was just about to take a closer look.
“Where are you, Tang Ling? You went too far this time!” Simultaneously, however, a woman’s voice suddenly filled the entire room.
“Big Boss, the tyrant is here.” Lil Hu trembled visibly.
There was only one person in the world who dared to reproach his boss in this way.
This person who came from an outstanding background also had a volcanic temper.
Tang Ling twitched his eyebrows and threw a nonchalant glance at Lil Hu. He stopped looking at the data in his hands and put it away in the drawer instead.
Then, a woman stormed into the room with dynamic energy.
Lil Hu quickly excused himself from the situation.
“Tang Ling, what’s the meaning of this? Why aren’t we included in this mission?” Gu Nan glared at him murderously. There was also a strange emotion hiding between her brows.
The man refused to reply but lifted his eyes to meet hers. His indifferent gaze was cold and distant as usual.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Say something.” Gu Nan suddenly felt uncomfortable under his calm gaze. Her voice came out weaker than she intended.
She was afraid of Tang Ling. Terrified, to be honest. However, she came today to challenge him thus she would stand her ground.
“Why didn’t you assign a mission to us this time?” She inquired once more. This was the reason for her visit today, and it also made the best excuse.
“Different requirements,” the reply escaped his slightly parted lips. Then, he lowered his gaze to read the documents laid in front of him on the desk.
“What do you mean different requirements? I know you look down on us because we’re women.” A surge of frustration rocked through the enraged woman, but she knew better than to lash out at this moment.
The man ignored her completely as if she was not even there.
“Tang Ling, this is not fair.” She had never been treated like this before. Her voice was laced with a hint of grievance.
“You can file a report against me if you have any opinions.” Still, he did not raise his head but his voice now reeked with indifference.
“You…” This caught Gu Nan by surprise. A range of emotions chased over her features within seconds. She noticed the man occupied with his work did not even look her in the eyes.
The woman lowered her gaze to the ground bitterly. She knew he was upset with her.
She wished he would scold her or punish her instead of treating her indifferently like this.
“Tang Ling, can you trust me, for once?” The arrogant woman was willing to lower her ego in front of the man.
He still did not look up from the documents. A heavy silence fell upon the room.
“Tang Ling, why don’t you trust me? You’re definitely discriminating against women.” She balled her fists as she threw a hateful glance at him.
A hint of surprise flashed across the man’s eyes. He never discriminated against women. Never once did he think women could not perform better than men.
Chu Wuyou for instance could perfectly do numerous things than even most men were unable to.
The spot between his eyebrows softened at the thought of that woman. He had been procrastinating. Perhaps it was time to get her back to his side again.
