Bai Ruoqi hadn't known about the situation below; it was only because the receptionist had messaged her that she had hurried down.
Upon seeing her, Wan Sicong's arrogant demeanor immediately deflated.
He then said sheepishly, "Miss Bai, you're here."
Bai Ruoqi completely ignored Wan Sicong and walked directly to Wu Tian, asking, "Wu Tian, I heard someone below had a conflict with you. What's going on?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "You don't need to ask me. Why don't you ask him?"
Hearing this, Bai Ruoqi immediately turned a cold gaze towards Wan Sicong.
She said, "Who are you? This is Tianbao Group. How dare you cause trouble here?"
Although Bai Ruoqi always maintained a demure image in front of Wu Tian, she was, after all, the eldest daughter of Tianbao Group. Years of upbringing meant she couldn't possibly be just a meek girl.
As she questioned Wan Sicong at that moment, her aura was incredibly powerful, like a queen descending, making all the bosses present feel a sense of dread.
Under such an imposing presence, Wan Sicong also shivered in fear.
He stammered, "Miss Bai... you... you actually know him?"
Bai Ruoqi said coldly, "Wu Tian is my best friend. Do you think I don't know him?"
"If you dare to cause trouble with him here today, then you are causing trouble with our Tianbao Group. Who do you belong to, to be so bold?"
As Bai Ruoqi spoke, her expression was utterly devoid of emotion, which made Wu Tian marvel, feeling as if Bai Ruoqi had transformed into someone else.
Wan Sicong felt as if his soul was about to depart his body.
It was one thing for this pauper to be Bai Ruoqi's friend, but her *best* friend? How could such a thing happen?
He found it utterly unreasonable.
There must be something amiss, so he cleverly said to Bai Ruoqi, "Miss Bai, there's something I must say today!"
"There's something wrong with this person. Look at his attire, his demeanor; he's clearly from the lower class!"
"And who are you? You are of noble birth!"
"How can someone as noble as you associate with such a pauper?"
"So I advise you to reconsider. You must have been deceived by him!"
Bai Ruoqi hadn't been that angry initially, but after Wan Sicong uttered these words, her expression immediately turned even colder and sharper.
A chilling frost seemed to cloud her eyes as she said to Wan Sicong, "Do you even know what you're saying? I think you truly don't want to continue your business, daring to say such things to me."
"Do you know Wu Tian's identity? He is the other boss of this company, on equal footing with me."
"If you call him lower class, does that mean you also look down on me?"
"Huh?!" Bai Ruoqi's words struck Wan Sicong's mind like a thunderclap.
At this moment, even Wu Tian was taken aback, then couldn't help but click his tongue.
Seriously, Bai Ruoqi's ability to spin lies was too strong. She could say he was a boss of Tianbao Group without batting an eye.
Wasn't this going a bit too far?
While this news was merely a sigh for Wu Tian, it was no different from a bolt from the blue for Wan Sicong!
He trembled and said, "Miss Bai, what are you saying?"
"He's the boss of Tianbao Group? You're not joking with me, are you?"
"Someone like him, how could he possibly be the boss of Tianbao Group? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Bai Ruoqi said coldly, "What do you mean? Are you planning to question me?"
"Or do you think you are now qualified to dictate the power structure of our Tianbao Group?"
Wan Sicong shivered again, then quickly shook his head, "No, no!"
"Miss Bai, how would I dare to do such a thing? Even if I were qualified, I wouldn't have the guts!"
With the situation as it was, he dared not say anything more. He quickly changed his tune, "A misunderstanding. It seems this was all a misunderstanding today. How about we just let this matter go?"
At this moment, Wu Tian smiled and said, "Let it go? How can we just let it go?"
"Now that Miss Bai is here, given your relationship with Miss Bai, shouldn't you be teaching me a severe lesson?"
"My relationship with him?" Bai Ruoqi looked at Wu Tian with some confusion.
She looked at Wu Tian and said, "Wu Tian, what are you talking about? I don't know him at all, so how could I have a relationship with him?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Ah? You don't know him?"
"But he's been saying everywhere that you are his fiancée. Could this matter be false?"
Wan Sicong felt his heart stop beating.
He never imagined that a casual boast he made would be known to Bai Ruoqi. Wasn't this suicidal!
He looked at Bai Ruoqi fearfully and indeed found that Bai Ruoqi's face had turned dark.
Bai Ruoqi said angrily, "You really have the audacity of a leopard to dare to spread such rumors."
"Look at me now, and answer me properly. When did I become your fiancée?"
Under Bai Ruoqi's intense gaze, Wan Sicong completely broke down.
He quickly fell to his knees before Bai Ruoqi, his face filled with terror, and said, "This... this... Miss Bai, you've misunderstood."
"I was just playing a small joke with him. Someone like me, how could I possibly climb to your high branch!"
"I know I was wrong. I'll never dare to do it again!"
Bai Ruoqi said indifferently, "Just a small joke? So, in your eyes, my reputation is just a small joke? In that case, I'm really not worth much."
Wan Sicong knew he had said the wrong thing.
He wanted to fix it, but his mind was racing, and he couldn't think of anything to say.
Therefore, he could only repeatedly say "I was wrong, I was wrong," trembling like a dog.
But how could Bai Ruoqi let him off so easily?
Bai Ruoqi said coldly, "First you had a conflict with Wu Tian, and then you slandered my reputation. Therefore, I will not let you off."
"Where did this person come from? Does anyone want to answer me?"
The receptionist had already disliked Wan Sicong, so at this moment, she immediately said, "Miss Bai, he is Wan Sicong from Wanshi Group."
"Wanshi Group, is it? I understand."
After speaking, Bai Ruoqi took out her phone and walked aside to make a call.
When she returned, less than half a minute later, Wan Sicong's phone rang.
