“Alright! Don’t you two regret it later!” Mei Ye huffed and walked away directly.

The receptionist understood the situation and waved cheerfully at Mei Ye’s back, “Take care, Sir, don’t come back again!”

Tang Mei looked at them helplessly.

Pan Hua couldn’t swallow this insult and turned back to overturn the vase placed at the entrance of the company.

With a crisp sound, the vase shattered into several pieces.

With a sneer, Pan Hua stood with her hands on her hips, provocatively arrogant, “This place, I won’t come back anymore! I wish your company would go bankrupt soon!”

“Hey, why are you like this? Unable to argue, you just smash things in our company. That vase was President Mei’s favorite!” The receptionist felt sorry for Mei Shu.

When President Mei just took over as CEO, he personally spent a lot of money on decorations for the company, making the whole place more vibrant.

This vase was one of them, and its value was unknown. Now, it was shattered like this!

“I don’t care what she likes. If I don’t like it, I’ll smash it!” Pan Hua shouted unreasonably and insolently. In her eyes, Mei Shu didn’t deserve to have nice things. Everything she had should belong to the Mei family. She didn’t need to take responsibility for smashing her own things!

But she seemed to have forgotten that Mei Shu had just severed all ties with the Mei family.

Tang Mei stopped the old lady who wanted to leave without a word. “The entire process of you intentionally breaking the vase has been fully recorded by the surveillance camera at our reception. The vase is worth 125,000 yuan. Please compensate immediately, or our company will call the police.”

“Are you kidding me? This company was my son’s not long ago! You say this vase belongs to Mei Shu, do you have any evidence?” Pan Hua exploded when she heard she had to pay, becoming even more arrogant.

Tang Mei remained calm and composed, but she didn’t back down. “Of course, we have evidence. Please compensate at the original price, or we will have to call the police to make a fair judgment.”

Pan Hua stared with widened eyes, wanting to throw a tantrum but not knowing where to start. She stomped her foot in frustration, “125,000 yuan for just a vase? You’re intentionally extorting people, aren’t you? I don’t believe Mei Shu has so much money to buy such a thing to display! Oh, I know!”

With a pretentious look of sudden realization, she continued, “Your company must be losing money now, so you want to extort even me, an old lady. I’ve always said there’s no future with Mei Shu. This company won’t last long!”

Tang Mei’s expression was subtle, as if holding back laughter.

But Pan Hua thought she had hit the nail on the head and laughed heartily, slapping her thigh, “Oh, Xiao Ye, I told you so! This company is probably just an empty shell now. When my son was the CEO, the company was doing so well. What capability does Mei Shu have?”

Mei Ye laughed along, “I see now. I thought she was doing quite well with that tough attitude earlier. Turns out she can’t even come up with 125,000 yuan.” “Yeah, she’s just a girl who grew up in the countryside, uneducated, and dreaming of being a boss and making money. Even if she works for others, nobody wants her! Now she’s homeless again. It’ll be a problem for her to find a partner in the future. Does she really think Master Si would marry her?”

Pan Hua scoffed disdainfully, then arrogantly grabbed Mei Ye’s arm to leave.

Tang Mei glanced at her boss, who seemed to have no intention of intervening, and once again stopped them. “I think you misunderstood me. The receipt for that vase is stored in President Mei’s office drawer. If you want, I can get it for you now. After you’ve seen it, please compensate according to the original price.”

“You little brat, still not done, huh? Trying to make me give money to Mei Shu, help her wipe her butt, you’re dreaming!” Pan Hua sneered at her with disgust. “Get lost. If you stop me again, I’ll smash another vase in your company!”

“That would be 250,000 yuan, old lady,” Tang Mei said bluntly.

The old lady was so angry that she stomped her foot and smashed the other vase together.

“250,000 yuan for this?I don’t think it’s even worth 25 yuan! Playing tricks on me, you’re still too young!” She said, pushing Tang Mei’s shoulder and leaving directly.

Only then did Mei Shu finally react. She walked calmly from the meeting room, “Stop.”

The old lady paused, impatiently turning back, “What? You want to beg me? Let me tell you, no way!”

Mei Shu chuckled and raised her hand to shake her phone, showing them the already dialed police number on the screen, “Don’t leave yet. Let’s resolve the dispute first. Tang Mei, go to my office and get the receipt. Hand it to the police later.”

“Mei Shu! Have you not caused enough trouble yet?” Mei Ye couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted, “Even if you’re short of money, you shouldn’t lose your moral compass. You’re extorting the elderly. Have you no shame?”
