Jack was not in the mood to chat with Sister Pan any longer. He only wished to leave the place as soon as possible. The reason why he was there that day was that he didn’t want to wait until Monday when all the trainees were back. He didn’t want anyone to see him packing up and leaving.
When she saw that Jack was leaving, Sister Pan grabbed his arm. “Where’s Tingmei? Where’s my niece?”
Jack pushed her away, “Why are you asking me about your own niece? By the way, you should be prepared. The big boss is very angry this time! You barely got away with it when you were giving Guan Meiyi trouble the last time. Ling Tianya was pregnant then, and she let you off, but I don’t think you will be so lucky this time. If I were you, I would resign and find myself another job someplace else. If you end up getting fired, you’ll end up like me. This would be the end of your career in this industry!”
Jack picked up his box and walked over to the elevator.
Sister Pan was in shock as she froze. Why had things turned out this way? How could Yu Luoluo be the big boss’s cousin?
On Monday, news about what had happened at the baby shower quickly spread all around the company. All the trainees were busy talking and discussing what they had heard about the incident.
“Did you know that Pan Tingmei was fired!”
“It’s true! I didn’t go home over the weekend, so I stayed behind in the dormitory. Pan Tingmei came back on Saturday sobbing, and the security officers followed behind her as she packed up her things. All her pleading and sobbing were futile. In the end, the security guards got so impatient that they wrapped up all her stuff in a blanket and threw it out.”
“Oh god, what happened! What happened over the weekend?”
“You haven’t heard? Yu Luoluo is the big boss’s cousin! She had been concealing her identity and pretended to be a normal trainee all along.”
“Are you serious?! This is shocking news!”
“Exactly! Pan Tingmei had been bullying Yu Luoluo all this time. I heard that she colluded with Jack to win first place this time round as well. If not, Yu Luoluo would have come out in top place. And the one who was having an affair with Instructor Jack was not Yu Luoluo, it was Pan Tingmei! Instructor Jack tried to force himself on Yu Luoluo, but she beat him up and he has been trying to exact his revenge ever since. Hence, he teamed up with Pan Tingmei!”
“That’s right! When the big boss heard about it during the banquet, she fired Pan Tingmei and Jack on the spot. Both of them have gone now.”
“Instructor Jack has been fired as well?”
“That’s not all! I heard that Pan Tingmei’s aunt tendered her resignation this morning!”
“Oh my goodness! Yu Luoluo really hid her identity well. What are we going to do? We were pretty mean to her as well, and we played along with Pan Tingmei’s tricks. Will we be in trouble too?”
“I don’t know… but if we’re getting chased away, Lin Lin will be the first of us to go anyway. She has always been Pan Tingmei’s little sidekick. We were just cold to Yu Luoluo. We never actually bullied her, did we?”
“That’s true… let’s explain things to Yu Luoluo when she comes in later.”
“Right, we were just following Pan Tingmei and Lin Ling’s lead…”
At this moment, Lin Lin’s face was pale with fear as she sat in the corner of the studio. The trainees’ discussion made her even more anxious. Pan Tingmei had been fired. Was she going to be next?
Yu Luoluo didn’t return to the dormitory on Sunday; she had overslept that morning. She rushed over to the studio from her place. She was wearing a simple coat and was carrying all the things that Yu Chenshi had asked her to bring.
