In the innermost office, two men were getting hot water. They were dressed very gentlemanly in shirts and bow ties, but the things they said were appalling.

"You think she's just trying to seduce me? She dressed like that just to show off to me, didn't she?"

"Didn't I confess my feelings to you before? Now you're ignoring me. What are you pretending for?"

One of the men noticed Xi Xinxin first: "Oh, a newcomer?"

Xi Xinxin smiled at him again: "No. Maybe it's the person who fired you."

The man laughed and said, "Young lady, you can't joke like that. I don't have time for you. If you're a newcomer, show some respect to us seniors."

A woman in the office noticed the situation. She came out, gave the man a cold look, and then greeted Xi Xinxin and the others: "Hello, my name is Mu Xue. These two are being a bit rude. Are they newcomers? Our overall environment is quite nice."

Mu Xue is the character who targets the female lead in the main story. She's unwilling to accept that the man she likes is interested in the female lead, so she targets her at every turn and speaks to her in a sarcastic and sarcastic manner. But in reality, it doesn't seem to be like that.

Mu Xue was dressed in very formal business attire, but she had a great figure. In the original work, she was portrayed as a seductive and vicious female supporting character. The clothing on her only served to accentuate her perfect figure.

It seems we're only halfway through the story so far. If Xi Xinxin isn't mistaken, Mu Xue's intention was to praise that senior, but it was misinterpreted as a confession. After being rejected, that person even publicized it widely.

To avoid suspicion, Mu Xue avoided contact with that person. Little did she know, this person would become even more outrageous. Later, a boy from her group couldn't stand it anymore and came to Mu Xue's rescue.

Mu Xue fell for the man who helped her out of a predicament. The attraction came out of nowhere.

Hearing Mu Xue's words, the man thought she was being disrespectful because he had rejected her: "What do you mean by being rude? I'm not just telling the truth. Do you think I would even glance at you if it weren't for your good figure? You're really pretentious."

Mu Xue pursed her lips and remained silent. Xi Dai looked the man up and down and said, "You look like a dead pig when you dress yourself, and you have the nerve to criticize others?"

"Does she really like you? Don't be so delusional. Don't you have a mirror at home?"

Xi Xinxin also feigned surprise: "Oh my god. I didn't even know this person was young until he said so. Look at all these wrinkles and creases. My goodness, sister, would you really fall for a man like this?"

Xi Xinxin pretended to cover her nose: "It still smells."

Before the man could even get angry, Mu Xue chimed in, "I don't know why he misunderstood. I praised him a few times because I thought he was quite capable at work. He's been saying I like him ever since. It's really bothering me."

People in the office have incredibly sharp ears for gossip. Many had long disliked the two of them. But Mu Xue had kept quiet out of consideration for their seniority. Hearing her vent today was truly satisfying.

The two men even took turns pretending to be in the lead: "That's just how women are, they just show off, but in reality they still have to rely on us."

"Yeah, you guys are really pretentious. We're the seniors."

After interviewing the new candidates, Xi's father took Xi Xinxin and Xi Dai out for lunch.

When the group saw the big boss arrive, they all greeted him, wondering why he had suddenly come today.

Xi Xinxin pinched herself hard: "How could you two do this!"

The two men: "?"

Turning to her father with teary eyes, she said, "Dad, I just wanted to bring Dai Dai to see you. But these two insisted that we weren't good enough for you. They slandered us for ages, saying our clothes weren't nice enough. I talked back a bit, and they pinched me hard!"

Xi Xinxin raised her arm: "Look, it's all red."

The two were momentarily stunned. What did she call the CEO? Dad!?

The two men, seeing the big boss's face darken, cried out in protest: "No, we didn't pinch her! Why would you use such a low-level tactic! We never said that."

Low-level tactics can sometimes be very effective. Xi Xinxin presented herself to her father with a dejected yet resilient demeanor: "Dad, you know. I would never wrong someone. Check the surveillance footage. I'm willing to be humiliated again."

After saying that, she buried herself in Xi Dai's arms, her shoulders trembling. Xi Dai paused and patted Xi Xinxin's back.

Seeing his child so heartbroken, Xi's father was also distressed: "You're too kind, Xinxin. You two, you don't need to work anymore."

The man finally understood why Xi Xinxin had said she could fire them. Turns out, she really could fire them!

But they had no choice but to suffer in silence. And they dared not look at the security cameras, lest their words be clearly heard.

Xi Xinxin added fuel to the fire: "Dad, if they continue to say such hurtful things and do such hurtful things while they're still in this industry, I feel so sorry for the girls who get hurt."

"You're so kind, Xinxin!" Xi's father was deeply moved: "Don't worry, Dad will definitely not give them that chance."

"They also spoke rudely to this Sister Mu Xue."

Xi's father frowned: "Apologize."

Although unwilling, the two men still apologized through gritted teeth. Xi Xinxin looked bewildered: "Dad, why can't I hear you? Is it because I'm too upset that my ears are acting up?"

Xi's father roared, "Didn't you eat?! Can't you apologize a little louder?!"

"sorry!"

Xi's father nodded in satisfaction: "Come on, my good daughters. I'll take you out to eat. Don't bother with this kind of person."

Xi Xinxin nodded, then turned around and, from an angle out of her father's sight, gave the two people who were packing their things the middle finger.

The two were so angry they didn't dare to retaliate. Mu Xue chuckled, "Serves you right, seniors!"

After having lunch with Xi's father, the two planned to return to school. As they left the company, Xi Xinxin noticed that the two of them were carrying a bunch of their things.

She deliberately stepped forward. Xi Dai chuckled and let her be.

Xi Xinxin exaggeratedly covered her mouth: "Is this what successful people are like? You guys are really pretentious."

Neither of them dared to fight back. They could only ignore Xi Xinxin and go home. How would they explain losing their jobs? They might never find such good jobs again.

The two of them were filled with regret.

That evening, Xi Xinxin received a friend request. After accepting it, she discovered that Mu Xue had asked for the friend when she passed by Xi's father. Mu Xue was very grateful to Xi Xinxin and Xi Dai.

I hope I can invite them both to dinner sometime.

Xi Xinxin also relayed the message to Xi Dai. They initially thought it wasn't necessary. However, Mu Xue insisted on treating them, so they decided to hold the event for the weekend.

The evening takeout arrived, but it was delivered to the East Gate. Xi Xinxin casually put on a pair of slippers and went out.

She ran into Chen Tongyun as she was walking back after receiving the takeout. Chen Tongyun had been discharged from the hospital a few days ago and looked much better.

"Xi Xinxin." Chen Tongyun was also there to pick up her takeout: "Actually, I can't carry this much, it's so heavy. Could you help me carry it and bring it to my dorm? You know, I'm a very pitiful little girl."

Chen Tongyun, who was originally skipping and hopping, immediately pretended to be at a loss when faced with a takeout order.

Xi Xinxin continued walking forward, and Chen Tongyun, seeing that she didn't react, quickly followed: "Hey! Aren't you going to have any pity on me?"

The school streetlights were bright, and the shadows of Xi Xinxin and Chen Tongyun gradually lengthened, then shortened, then lengthened again.

Chen Tongyun chattered for a while before quieting down, then tugged at Xi Xinxin's sleeve: "Can you walk slower?"

Xi Xinxin still ignored her, but Chen Tongyun noticed that her pace had slowed down. Looking down at her feet, she realized that Xi Xinxin was wearing slippers.

Xi Xinxin's feet were very white and beautiful. Chen Tongyun hesitated for a moment. Then she grasped Xi Xinxin's hand that wasn't holding the takeout: "You're not slow enough! I'll pull you along to slow you down!"

"If you say another word, I'll rip your tongue out."

Chen Tongyun shrank back in fear, only realizing she was being teased when she met Xi Xinxin's smiling eyes. Chen Tongyun pouted, "How come you don't care about me at all?"

Once they reached the building, the two went back to their respective dormitories. Chen Tongyun felt she could keep trying! She would soon win Xi Xinxin's heart and make her stop disliking her!

Xi Daiyu returned to her seat. She turned on the video and began to eat, when her eyes inadvertently fell on a piece of draft paper on Xi Daiyu's table. The handwriting on it looked somewhat familiar.

She reached out to take a look, but Xi Dai snatched it away with lightning speed: "It's just a draft. I'm throwing it away."

Xi Xinxin felt something was very wrong, extremely wrong. She felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

We can ask Chu Quanyi then.

Xi Xinxin thought quickly and acted quickly. Taking advantage of a free moment, she knocked on Chu Quanyi's dormitory door: "I know this research doesn't need to be too strenuous. Open the door, I have something to discuss with you."

The door opened.

"Could you help me find out whose these two love letters are?"

"You're attracting attention again!?"

Xi Xinxin was speechless: "What are you talking about? I feel like my interactions with Xi Dai and the others have been a bit strange lately."

Chu Quanyi yawned: "A blockhead like you won't get it. Show him out."

"My allowance will be cut off next month."

Chu Quanyi perked up: "Hey, no, no, no, I'm the best at analyzing these things."

Damn it, if it weren't for the little assistant outside not knowing how to handle currency, she wouldn't have to rely on Xi Xinxin's charity!

Upon entering the room, Chu Quanyi put on her gold-rimmed glasses and was about to analyze the situation when her stomach started rumbling.

"Hey~ I'm going to the cafeteria to buy some lunch." With that, Chu Quanyi ran out quickly.

Xi Xinxin took a look at her computer equipment and noticed a lot of strange cables connected to the back. She probably hadn't eaten breakfast and had just gotten up; the receiver wasn't on either.

I'm just buying lunch; I shouldn't run into anyone I know.
