Chapter 1340: Chapter 1340: This Is What It Means to Harm Others Only to Harm Yourself
Guo Gaiping saw Xinyan return to the office looking as if nothing had happened, her face full of incredulity.
Seeing the disdain in Xinyan’s eyes as she looked at her, she immediately panicked.
Before she could say anything, she heard someone at the door say, "Teacher Guo Gaiping, the director of the institute wants you to come over now."
Guo Gaiping stood up, looked at Xinyan and asked, "Me?"
Xinyan ignored her, tidying up her desk. Tomorrow the school would officially start the holiday, and shortly He Jinxuan would come to pick her up; she did not want to dawdle.
Guo Gaiping saw Xinyan ignore her, "Teacher Han, I’m asking you a question."
Xinyan continued her actions without pause, and replied casually, "You know very well what you’ve done, why bother pretending to ask me."
The people in the office immediately sensed something was amiss and all turned to watch.
Guo Gaiping was even more flustered upon hearing Xinyan’s words, trying to remain calm, "What do you mean by that?"
Xinyan sneered inwardly; since she was being targeted, she would naturally not be a saint: "Do I need to spell out exactly what you did when you went to the institute leaders?"
No sooner had Xinyan said this, than Guo Gaiping left her desk, hastily fleeing the office.
At this moment, Ji Yuerong came over: "Xinyan, could it be that she’s gone to report you because of what happened before?"
Xinyan would not play the good person, she spoke bluntly, "Well, it seems you know her better."
This statement confirmed Guo Gaiping’s act of reporting to the higher-ups, and everyone in the office looked at each other; someone spoke up, "How could she...?"
The rest of the words were hard to continue; grown adults playing these games, isn’t this destroying someone’s career?
Who would dare to associate with someone like her in the future?
Almost at the end of the work day, Guo Gaiping returned with red eyes, accompanied by a group of institute leaders.
Under the supervision of the leaders, Guo Gaiping faced the teachers in the office, "Teacher Han, I’m sorry for judging you with a petty heart and running to report. Please forgive me for being young and ignorant."
Upon hearing her latter words, Xinyan looked down on her even more: "Teacher Guo, if I remember correctly, you are three years older than me. You should apologize to me because you started the trouble, but that doesn’t mean I have to forgive you.
If everyone who did wrong just apologized like this, what would we need the police for?
It’s not wrong to envy others’ appearance, talent, or background — after all, everyone has a sense of comparison. But using dirty tricks behind people’s backs is truly disgraceful."
Don’t think she wouldn’t let it go when she’s in the right; reliving her life, she only wants to live freely and comfortably. Fortunately, it’s no longer the crazy era, otherwise, even if she had ten mouths, she’d be in for a bad end.
Those who crowded over to listen did not sympathize with Guo Gaiping after knowing the ins and outs of the matter. Many of them had suffered losses or heavy blows because of similar incidents, some even had relatives who lost their lives over it.
Ultimately, because of this matter, Guo Gaiping not only lost face but also received disciplinary action.
She glared at Xinyan maliciously, but Xinyan didn’t care; if you’re wrong, you pay the price. Even a child knows that, she wouldn’t indulge her — however she wishes.
Guo Gaiping was able to work here partly because she did have some skills, but mostly because her sister’s husband’s family had connections, which were used to help her secure the position originally.
But the secret couldn’t be kept, and even before the end of the workday, the matter spread.
Awaiting her was not only the disdain of colleagues; the coming year she feared would be unbearable — a classic case of harming others only to harm oneself, shooting oneself in the foot, deservedly so.
As Xinyan carried her things out of the office, He Jinxuan was already waiting there.
Ji Yuerong’s eyes darted between Xinyan and He Jinxuan, and as she approached Xinyan, she whispered, "What’s going on with you two lovebirds?"
