All Chapters of The Wrong Kind of Meat: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

"Shannon, how could you steal my client?"The new hire, Cindy Carlton, blocked my path. Her face was flushed red like she could barely bring herself to say the words.[Once the supporting female character's act is exposed, it'll finally be time for the female lead and male lead's sweet romance!][Go, female lead! If the supporting female character is shameless enough to sell her body, we're not afraid to call her out!]When I didn't respond, Cindy's eyes immediately welled up with tears as she launched into an accusation."The company believes in fair competition. Aren't you ashamed of using your body to steal clients?"The noisy office instantly fell silent after she said that.Coworkers who had been heading out for lunch all stopped in their tracks. They were clearly eager for gossip.Feeling everyone's curious stares on me, I frowned and shot back, "I didn't do that. Stop making things up."Landing deals depends on skill and whether the client is interested. Don't blame you

The floating comments flooded the screen with praise.[As expected of the male lead. He figured out the truth from just a few photos. This is so satisfying!][Hahaha! The supporting female character has nothing to say for herself now!]I froze for a moment.During one delivery, I'd accidentally gotten blood all over my clothes while unloading beef and lamb for a client, so I'd changed outfits.After that, to avoid trouble, I started arranging most contract signings at hotels instead.Hotels had bathrooms where I could clean up and change easily.I never imagined that would become the basis for their disgusting assumptions."So what if you have a few photos? Instead of wasting energy smearing my reputation, why not focus on actually closing your own deals?"Seeing that I still wasn't rattled, Cindy bit her lip indignantly."If photos aren't enough evidence, then what about these chat logs and transfer records?"The second she finished speaking, the giant screen refreshed.Th

The moment they heard I was talking about beef and lamb, everyone exchanged confused looks.Cindy ran forward, snatched the documents from my hands, and immediately declared they were fake."You're lying! Those pictures are obviously taken from the internet, and the deed must be forged too!"I looked at her coldly and smirked sarcastically."So not only are you terrible at your job, but you're an actual idiot too."That's an official government seal stamped on there. No matter how capable I am, do you really think I can influence the County Recorder's Office?"At that moment, one of the board members stepped forward to inspect the deed.Confusion, shock, and regret appeared on his face as he looked at me like he wanted to say something.After a long pause, he finally sighed helplessly. "This property deed is real."Cindy's expression instantly turned awful. She repeatedly examined the photos and deed.The listed operator's name was mine.Reluctant to give up, she demanded, "

Franklin looked like he could barely stay standing.He grabbed my arm and demanded, "Shannon, didn't you say your parents were just farmers? Why does your family own such a huge ranch?"I shoved him away immediately.I disgustedly brushed the spot where he'd touched me."They are farmers, but whose ancestors weren't farmers three generations back? My parents do in fact raise cattle and sheep."Franklin seemed filled with regret.There was even a trace of resentment in his voice."But you never told me your family operated on this kind of scale!"Looking at the familiar yet strangely unfamiliar face before me, I laughed.Maybe I'd never truly known him at all.To fully clear everything up, the police requested the hotel surveillance footage.Every single clip proved that while meeting clients for business, I had simply been selling them beef and lamb products.Even the advertisements and WhatsApp messages were clearly about beef and lamb.The footage from my conflict with D

It turned out that during the three years Cindy was in prison, Franklin realized there was no hope left with me and started dating someone else.They were even about to get married.Unfortunately, Cindy was released from prison on the day of the wedding.She showed the bride intimate photos and videos of herself and Franklin. Unable to handle it, the bride immediately called off the wedding.Just like that, the two of them got involved with each other again.Someone livestreamed the wedding chaos, so the scandal went viral online.It even trended across social media.Franklin's reputation was completely tarnished after that.Back when the incident with me first happened, the company had already demoted him.Now that another scandal broke out, the company feared reputational damage and fired him outright.After that, even finding another job became difficult.Most major companies practically kicked him out the moment they saw his resume.He could only work at smaller firms.
