At that moment, the employees hastily pleaded with Mu Wanxin. "Please, Director, just let us go! We beg you!"
Mu Wanxin said, "Everyone, I won't hold this against you. Things will go back to the way they were. But I want you all to understand one thing: there are some matters you shouldn't interfere with. Once you do, there is a price to pay!"
"Yes, yes, Director, you're absolutely right!"
"We will definitely mend our ways and start anew!"
The crowd hastily chimed in. Mu Wanxin was already used to their after-the-fact sycophancy, so she just gave Guo Dong one last glance before walking away.
After Mu Wanxin left, Guo Dong furiously scolded them. "You're a real bunch of lapdogs! When I was on top, you all fawned over me, and now that I've fallen, you grovel before her like the dogs you are. The sight of you disgusts me!" Even though he'd been fired, he couldn't resist mocking them. It was only in his downfall that he finally saw their true colors.
