Chapter 1150 You Will Be The Next One
Once the image was tarnished, it took a long time to subside the ripple effect it had on business,
clients, rtionships, and life as a whole. I had been dealing with this both inside and outside the
office ever since the debacle took ce at the wine party. This morning was no different. The woman
said to I, "I, we all know that you have a good rtionship with Ms. Xia, but you have to learn to
think about your own good. We really appreciate your unflinching support towards Ms. Xia. But after
what happened, it is extremely embarrassing to stay with her. Even Ms. Xia would be ashamed of
herself throughout her life. It is not an intelligent thing to move on for your own betterment, is it?"
I preferred silence than an argument in this case. It had been quite some time that she had been
dealing with this now. She had been addressing the employees time and again, counseling them to
have faith in Sheryl. But what she encountered every time was some argument or advice for her to stay
away from Sheryl.
The woman stopped for a while and then added, "I, even if you don''t think about yourself, you
should think about your daughter Amanda. She is still a girl. If you continue to support and be with
Sheryl, Amanda will beughed at by her ssmates. You never know what repercussions that may
have on her tender mind." I just passed a quick nce at her and heaved a sigh, speaking nothing
at all.
I''s silence gave the women more courage to speak. She thought I was paying attention to her
words. As she found I submerged in her thoughts, a sly smile appeared on her face. Thinking it to be
the right time, she ced the trump card very slowly and tactfully. After remaining quiet for a moment
or two, she said, "I, let me share the good news with you. The boss of the newpany that I have
joined said that he would double your annual sry if you agreed to join them! And he also said..."
Before she could finish her words, a tight pnded on her cheek.
Smack!
The sound was very crisp and loud, reverberating through the office, astounding not only that woman
but each and every employee. After this p, the bustling office gradually became quiet.
"Now I understand, Ellie Sun. This is your current job. Your new boss asked you to join back to our
narrowed her eyes to focus her gaze on Ellie Sun as if she would burn her into ashes if she could with
her gaze.
"I... I, I was only speaking for your own good!" Ellie Sun braved I''s wrath after oveing the
initial shock. This kind of a vtile reaction was thest thing that she had expected from I who was
otherwise known to be an extremely considerate manager. She could not understand what she had
done to make her be so vicious towards her.
Ellie Sun looked back at I with a bbergasted look. Going by her logic, there was nothing wrong in
what she said. After the debacle at the Tarsan Group wine party, Cloud Advertising Company was no
better than a sinking ship. What she had suggested to I would be mutually rewarding for her as well
as the newpany. And even if she did not wish to take the offer, she could have turned it down
politely. What was there in it to be so ferocious?
Ellie Sun creased her brows and stared back at I while touching her just-pped cheek tenderly.
I''s eyes were literally popping out at this point as she said, "If you really want to be good for me,
please don''t say these things in Cloud Advertising Company. What thispany means to me and
more importantly, what Sheryl means to me are not unknown to you or anyone else in this office. Yet
you choose to nder Sher in front of me? Even in public? Do you think I will spare you for doing that?"
I was fuming in anger as she spoke.
There was pin-drop silence in the entire office with only I''s voice echoing in each and every corner.
All the employees dug their eyes into their respectiveputer screens; not a single person dared to
even move his or her eyes. I''s voice echoed in their minds as well. Her stand was clear. And
everybody who felt otherwise could see their fate. It would be no better than Ellie Sun if not worse.
"I, don''t take my goodwill for ill intent. Actually, even I don''t want toe back and poach you. It''s
just because the boss of thepany I have joined wants you to work there..." Ellie Sun was usually
an adroit person; she never got into any confrontation with her colleagues.
Obviously, she had never dared to offend I who had a good rtionship with the boss.
But today, Ellie Sun really felt very shameful. And she really thought what she said was not a bad thing
for I. After all, Sheryl was moving towards a downfall now. Did I really want to follow Sheryl for a
lifetime?
But I failed to understand the point. She even pped Ellie Sun in front of so many people. It was
the first time for Ellie Sun to suffer this kind of humiliation.
I heaved a sigh and pressed the area between her two eyes in a manner as if she was speaking to a
thick-skulled idiot. Then she released her eyes and said with a disgusted look on her face, "Your boss
wants me to work there, which is his business. Whether I want to go there or not is my business. Does
this have anything to do with you? Ellie Sun, listen to me carefully. In your opinion, Cloud Advertising
Company may copse and you want to quit. I understand that. We won''t force you to stay. But that
doesn''t mean that everyone who is working for thispany would want to find a new job like you. But
why are you suggesting me quit? Who gave you the right to even think that you could advise me or any
other loyal employee to leave thispany? Do you now understand the reason behind my anger?"
After the p, the anger in I''s heart was also dissipated to some extent.
But just as I''s temper cooled down, Ellie Sun turned red out of humiliation. She could feel sweat
appearing on her forehead, and she could hardly hear the words uttered by I. All she could see was
I''s mouth and her limbs moving.
"OK, I, we all know that you just want to perform well in front of Sheryl. Do you think that if you do
so, Charles will treat you differently? Don''t be stupid. Sheryl had cuckolded him. Charles must hate her
so much at the moment. If you still stand by her and help her, you''ll be the next unlucky one!"
Ellie Sun''s voice trembled as she spoke. She sounded somewhat hysterical. Even after speaking so
much, she was still not satisfied. The sound and pain of the p had perhaps shaken her to the core.
Ellie Sun continued, "Moreover, do you think that Sheryl will be grateful to you? She is having a hard
time to protect herself. She has no time to care about you!"
"Stop!" I screamed. She really didn''t want to listen to her words anymore. Someone had ever told
her that never try to wake up someone pretending to be asleep. Now I understood that the ones she
couldn''t wake up were not only those who were pretending to be asleep, but also those who were
daydreaming.
I thought in her mind, ''Does she really think if she jumps to a newpany, her future will be
prosperous?
It takes a lot more than that to seed. You need to be a kind, careful and loyal no matter where you

are or what kind of high position you are holding in thepany. This is what Ellie Sun fails to
understand.
Otherwise, when the real problem arises or you really face the challenge, you will be vulnerable!''
"OK, now that you want to leave, just go out of here now! Anyway, you aren''t the only person who left
Cloud Advertising Company in thest few days!" Since I couldn''t change Ellie Sun''s mind, she felt it
futile to share her opinion with her. If Ellie Sun really wanted to quit her job, just let her do that.
Sheryl had said that nothing forcibly done was going to be agreeable in thispany. Now I thought
Sheryl was right. Even if now they were forced to stay in Cloud Advertising Company at the moment,
they would not put theirplete dedication towards their work.
"Okay, I just don''t want to stay thispany anymore! I''ll leave right now! I Zhao, wait and see. Let''s
see whether you have a promising future in Cloud Advertising Company, or I achieve prosperity in my
newpany!" Ellie Sun nced at I with a re, and then walked towards the door, without
looking back.
At the same time, Sheryl was standing outside the door, listening to the entire conversation between
I and Ellie Sun.
The moment when the door was pushed open, Ellie Sun came face to face with Sheryl. They stared at
each other for a moment, and then Sheryl moved aside making way for Ellie Sun to leave. Sheryl''s face
was calm without a single trace of remorse or regret.
Ellie Sun was startled to see Sheryl and felt a little awkward. She cast a nce at Sheryl, turned her
face and left as quickly as she could.
I stared at Sheryl with astonishment.
"Sher, when did youe here?" I didn''t expect Sheryl would appear in thepany at this time.
She was rather startled to find her in the office. She thought that there was such a serious event just
the day before, Sheryl would have stayed at home for a while!
"Since whatever had to happen has happened already, I can''t always hide myself at home. It''s so
boring." Sheryl looked at I with a pleasant smile and said, "I, thank you."
Sheryl''s spoke right from the core of her heart. She was really sincerely grateful to I. After all, had it
not been for I, Sheryl couldn''t have imagined what kind of a mess Cloud Advertising Company could
have been right now.
