These were things everyone knew but wouldn't dare to say out loud so disrespectfully.
Yet in her anger, Xiaomeng blurted it out, leaving them with no way to save face.
What she said was true; Zhou Lin's return was indeed unfair and they were in the wrong, but these things were decided by the higher-ups, and there was nothing they could do about it.
"I've already said that I had nothing to do with the cosmetics incident. If it were really me, do you think I'd still be standing here? If you keep falsely accusing me, watch out, I'll sue you for defamation," Zhou Lin said shamelessly.
"Also, I only missed the competition earlier because I was unwell. Now I'm just returning to normal."
Xiaomeng gritted her teeth. Zhou Lin was clearly showing that the matter had passed and couldn't be pursued further. Moreover, at the time, the Program Group considered various factors and didn't make the cosmetics issue public, which is why she dared to be so brazen now.
