After Xu Shen finished speaking, he directly left the room, slamming the door behind him.
Inside the room, a few people stood there in a daze, unsure of what to do or say. The earlier scene had been incredibly awkward. They didn't know how to continue facing the middle-aged man before them; they were uncertain whether to comfort him or simply act as if nothing had happened. An air of embarrassment hung heavily in the room. Although they often encountered various people in their line of work, this level of awkwardness was something they had never experienced before, leaving them at a loss.
Suddenly, one person spoke up, "Oh, right! I just remembered there's something I haven't finished yet. I really need to take care of it right away. If I don’t finish it today, I might run into big trouble at work tomorrow. To avoid wasting everyone’s time, I should head back and deal with it now. Otherwise, it will definitely complicate things for all of us tomorrow."
Another person chimed in, "Yes, I haven’t completed my work either. Today has been quite busy for me, and I've only finished half of it. I was planning to finish it tomorrow, but since he mentioned that, I guess I should sacrifice my own time to get it done. That way, we can all work together more smoothly tomorrow."
Hearing this from the first two speakers made the others understand the situation. They all felt the atmosphere in the room was too uncomfortable to remain in. Even if they stayed and tried to talk, it would still feel awkward given what had just happened.
Finding a suitable excuse to leave seemed like the best option. One by one, they began to exit the room, each politely saying goodbye to the middle-aged man as they left. After all, he held a relatively high position among them, so they maintained their courtesy while hastily departing.
Only the middle-aged man remained seated in his original spot, seemingly lost in thought about what had just transpired. The earlier incident had indeed left him feeling humiliated. However, now that it had happened, what could he do? Even though he felt embarrassed, there was no point in dwelling on it. Everyone present had witnessed just how difficult his expression had been.
He couldn't help but reflect on how a young man had managed to put him in such a position with just a few words. It was truly humiliating for someone who was relatively well-known in this industry. He never expected that a mere kid could intimidate him so thoroughly; it seemed that one should never engage in any questionable dealings.
