Chapter 5: Praising to kill, then suppressing first

Si Nian was now covered in dust. Although his face was not bruised, he had been hit several times on the shoulders and abdomen.

It was one person against four people. I'm not a 1.80-meter-tall and 160-pound strong man, so it was good enough that I could hold out for that long.

The shared bicycles were also returned to their original positions. Si Nian planned to get off when she reached a place on the main road where she could get a taxi, but the other party was kind enough to take her all the way to a pharmacy near her home.

She bought some medicine for her injuries and said goodbye to them.

She was alone under the street light.

Si Nian sniffed and finally decided to send him a message.

[Mr. Feng, I did not post that photo on the Internet privately. I am very sorry for the impact on your reputation. I am sorry.]

She looked up at the moon in the sky. It was covered by clouds and the light was dim.

After a while, Si Nian sent another message: [Boss Feng, thank you for what happened tonight. ]

[To express my apology and gratitude, I would like to invite you to dinner. Please choose the location and time, Mr. Feng.]

She didn't expect him to reply, but just when she was about to turn off the screen, the message came.

Feng Sichen: [Don’t feel sorry, I know it’s not you. ]

The moment the message came, Si Nian's heart became heavy again.

She would rather he didn't reply.

He added: [Instead of treating me to a meal, why not help me solve a problem?]

[There is an event this weekend, and I need a female companion]

Si Nian typed a string of words on the typing board. When she was about to click send, she hesitated. Her fingers moved quickly again, and the content of the words was changed.

[Okay, I will prepare well]

Opposite: [Yeah. ]

At this point, they didn't say anything else. Si Nian stared at the screen for a long time, and finally broke through the control in his heart and typed:

[It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb Mr. Feng from resting.]

【Good night, good dreams. 】

After sending two messages in a row, she put the phone in her pocket and walked home.

After asking the pharmacist, she was told that it was just a simple abrasion, no broken bones, and that she could just buy some medicine. After taking a shower, she sat on the sofa and applied medicine to herself.

In the following time, no one followed her anymore, but Si Nian knew that the game was not over yet.

There are two ways to break this situation: please Zhang Tiancheng, admit your mistakes humbly, solve the problem with a smile, and let him deal with it; the other way is to leave City A quickly, hide from the limelight, and come back after a few months.

I have worked so hard to build up a reputation. If I leave now, my career will return to the situation when I first arrived in City A. I will not accept this, nor will I resign myself to my fate, nor will I give in.

There is no other way, right? There is another way, which is to find someone with a stronger background than the Haohan Group to borrow Dongfeng.

There were still three days until the weekend event, and during these three days, she was invited to attend the banquet. As expected, her status would be different after winning the award. Si Nian attended the banquet as a guest rather than an accompanying companion.

In City A, every banquet, no matter how big or small, depends on the attendee's status and background.

The organizer of this banquet was a middle-class man, which was not as good as the banquet Shen Qinlan took her to last time. In this way, she met Zhang Tiancheng from Haohan Group again, and he participated as the main guest.

After all, there was a grudge between the two of them. Zhang Tiancheng pretended to greet Si Nian, and then forced her into his circle.

"Let me tell you, Lawyer Si is no ordinary person. She is the winner of this year's Legal Rising Star Award!" Zhang Tiancheng introduced her to the people around him in an exaggerated manner.

"Really? Lawyer Si looks quite young, which means he has achieved great success at a young age!" With Zhang Tiancheng as the middleman, the group of people followed his words.

Praises like these came pouring in. Logically, one should be happy to be praised, but Si Nian was not.

Have you heard of "praising first and then criticizing"? I don't believe Zhang Tiancheng is really sincere about this.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your praise. I just got it by luck. I don't have any real talent or hard work." Si Nian said humbly.

Zhang Tiancheng's tone suddenly became louder at this time: "Don't be modest, I have experienced your power in person, I don't know how powerful you are?" He looked at the people around him, "She is the one who ruined a 100 million project between Mr. Feng and me. Lawyer Si, Lawyer Si Nian, she is quite powerful!"

The expressions of the people around him at this moment showed colorful and strange changes, and Si Nian saw their expressions one by one.

"Lawyer Si, I heard that you took on Mr. Han's case. Mr. Han, don't worry, once she takes action, she will definitely bring you immediate success!" Zhang Tiancheng patted Han Wen's shoulder with a kind smile on his face.

Han Wen was her first serious big client after she won the award.

No matter how Si Nian felt inside, she would remain calm and composed, and she would still have a decent smile on her face, even when the other person was making undisguised sarcastic remarks.

"Hey, Lawyer Si, I heard that you have someone close to you, right?" Zhang Tiancheng said this without any scruples in front of so many people. "Otherwise, how could you have achieved your current status and won awards in just two years? Tsk, Lawyer Si, you are really good at this!"

"Is that person Shen Qinlan? Well, I can understand that you are with him. After all, you work in the same unit, and the organizer of this year's Rising Star Award is the Shen Group." What he said was extremely innuendo.

Now, Si Nian could no longer remain calm.

Her face turned red and white.

"Mr. Zhang, we must have evidence for everything. You framed someone without any reason and spread obscene rumors about a girl. Do you also talk to the opposite sex like this at work or in your daily life?" Si Nian's tone fluctuated.

This disgusting feeling reminded her of what happened in the past, and at that moment, an indescribable anger surged in her heart.

Si Nian directly refuted Zhang Tiancheng in public, and his face froze instantly. After a while, he said, "I was just joking. Why can't you take a joke?" He said it in a relaxed tone.

"Joke? Did you make me laugh? A joke is only a joke if everyone thinks it's funny. Mr. Zhang, your joke only makes me feel that you are a disgusting person!"

Si Nian couldn't help it after all.

Shen Qinlan was the one who brought her into this work circle. He was her teacher and also her friend, but he didn't have any other miscellaneous identities.

She clenched her fists tightly, and told herself again and again in her heart that she must keep the peace, to be patient, and must be patient. However, when she saw the strange looks of those people and Zhang Tiancheng's greasy eyes, her reason was washed away by emotions.

"Lawyer Si, please think twice before you speak."

Zhang Tiancheng showed his original expression, with a gloomy face and a sarcastic tone.
