Chapter 111

Xu Xinchen reached out and pushed Chen Ningsheng: "Stop thinking nonsense here. If you don't hurry up, you'll be late. It's not a good thing for the company boss to be late."

Chen Ningsheng, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned: "What does it matter? Anyway, I'm the boss. No one can fire me, and no one dares to say anything about me."

Xu Xinchen gave Chen Ningsheng a light glare. This guy is not usually like this. She didn't know what was wrong with him. He just said such things so casually.

Chen Ningsheng understood the meaning in Xu Xinchen's eyes, and couldn't help but touch his nose. He said to Xu Xinchen, "The only person I would make an exception for is you, baby. Don't even think about making an exception for anyone else."

Xu Xinchen sighed and pushed Chen Ningsheng: "Now that you've said that, I suddenly feel like a wicked concubine who brought ruin to the country. Don't make my pressure even heavier. Let's go."

Chen Ningsheng was only willing to leave after being pushed by Xu Xinchen. As he left, he kept turning back to look at her, as if he was very reluctant to part with her. Xu Xinchen watched Chen Ningsheng walk away before turning around and going home, a sweet feeling lingering in her heart.

After tidying up the house, Xu Xinchen took a shower and then put on makeup in front of the mirror to cover up her haggard appearance. She applied blush to make her complexion look less pale and unsightly, and then found a lipstick with a good color and applied it to her lips.

Looking in the mirror, Xu Xinchen now is completely different from the Xu Xinchen who had been starving for more than ten days and looked haggard.

Similarly, Xu Xinchen can now be described as radiant.

Xu Xinchen looked at herself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction. She then took out a formal suit from the closet and put it on, planning to go and check out the recruitment companies outside.

Xu Xinchen was a bit luckier. Not far from where she walked, she saw an advertisement for a company that was recruiting sales staff. Xu Xinchen stepped forward, looked at the address on the advertisement, and found the company by following the address.

The company didn't seem very big. When Xu Xinchen arrived, there were only a few people sitting in the office drinking tea and chatting, and they didn't seem to have any passion at all.

The sight of it made one frown, and Xu Xinchen immediately crossed the company off in her mind. No matter what, she would never work for this company.

When the people in the office saw Xu Xinchen arrive, their eyes lit up. A man approached her very solicitously and asked, "Miss, what brings you to our company?"

Xu Xinchen slowly took a step back and said coldly, "I saw you posted recruitment ads outside. Tell me to come and see if there's anything suitable for me to do."

When the man heard that Xu Xinchen was looking for a job, his eyes narrowed instantly, and he said with a lewd smile, "Looking for a job? Looking for a job is good. Oh, young girls like you usually want to marry a rich man and stay at home to take care of the kids. Someone as ambitious as you is really rare."

Xu Xinchen felt extremely uncomfortable listening to this person. She found him particularly repulsive in both his words and actions. However, she concealed her emotions well and maintained a very rigid demeanor as she said to him, "You're joking. I just wanted to do my part."

The person speaking to Xu Xinchen seemed to be a minor manager in the company, judging from Xu Xinchen's response.

He immediately said to Xu Xinchen, "If you come to our company, you will definitely find room to make your mark. How about this, come over here and let's talk about what you are good at so I can think about what kind of position to assign you."

As he spoke, the man reached out to put his hand on Xu Xinchen's shoulder, his smile both lewd and obnoxious, making Xu Xinchen feel utterly disgusted; she almost vomited on the spot.

Xu Xinchen slowly took a step back, dodging his groping hand. The man's smile froze instantly when he saw that Xu Xinchen had dodged it. After regaining his senses, he immediately turned into a dark-faced expression.

"Young lady, you can't just say you have the ability, but you also need to know how to be a good person. In this society, ability is the second most important thing, and knowing how to be a good person is the most important thing."

Xu Xinchen could only sneer. The management of this company were actually people of such low character. This company looked like it was not far from going bankrupt!

Xu Xinchen couldn't be bothered to tolerate the man in front of her and said directly, "Really? I wonder what exactly you mean by 'being good at interpersonal relationships'?"

When the man heard Xu Xinchen say that, he thought that Xu Xinchen's rejection was just her being rude and not intentional. His eyes lit up instantly, and he was still eyeing Xu Xinchen.

He leered and touched the back of Xu Xinchen's hand, saying to her, "Well, come with me and I'll teach you slowly."

Behind the man, the people who had been drinking tea with him started whistling and saying very unpleasant things.

"Oh dear, Old Lin is at it again. How many times is this now?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. Our Lao Lin is so popular. These days, it's rare to find a man like him who is so warm-hearted and caring."

"Young lady, if you ask me, you should have a good talk with Old Lin. You never know what you might gain."

The words spoken by those people were full of hidden meanings, and their gazes toward Xu Xinchen were lewd and obnoxious. Xu Xinchen's expression was cold as she swept her gaze over them.

Perhaps because she has spent a lot of time with Chen Ningsheng, Xu Xinchen has now learned Chen Ningsheng's skill of killing people with just a glance. It doesn't work on Chen Ningsheng, but it's useless on these people.

The group of people felt a chill run down their spines when Xu Xinchen looked at them. One of them scoffed and muttered under his breath, "What's so great about him?" Then he lowered his head and drank his tea, no longer making fun of Xu Xinchen.

Only the man whom the group called Old Lin remained, still unwilling to give up and trying to take advantage of Xu Xinchen. Right now, he was holding Xu Xinchen's hand, seemingly about to pull her hand up and touch it.

Xu Xinchen forcefully shook off Lao Lin's hand and slapped his arm with her own: "If you touch me again, I'll call the police right now and say you're sexually harassing me!"
