Old Lin didn't expect that even after he had been so frank with Xu Xinchen, she would still act this way. He immediately turned hostile and pointed to the front door, saying to Xu Xinchen, "Someone as inflexible as you doesn't fit our company's philosophy. Please go back; our company will not hire you."

Xu Xinchen sneered and strode out, saying, "I wouldn't even look at a rotten company like yours!"

Old Lin, feeling humiliated by Xu Xinchen, appeared quite angry and cursed at her back: "Hey! Where did this crazy woman come from! Don't you have eyes?! You think you can just walk into any place? Who do you think you are!"

Xu Xinchen gritted her teeth and walked out angrily, not looking back at Lao Lin at all, letting Lao Lin rant and rave. Xu Xinchen comforted herself in her heart, thinking that since she wanted to go out to work, it was normal to encounter these kinds of things.

She must remain calm. If she loses her composure, she'll be doomed. Don't forget she still has a goal she must achieve. Giving up now will only take her further and further away from that goal.

After giving herself a long pep talk, Xu Xingchen finally managed to suppress her anger. But when she went outside, Old Lin still wouldn't let her off the hook. He stood at the window and yelled at Xu Xingchen, "You're shameless! Who do you think you are? You slut! You want to find a job? Bah! Even if you paid me for free, no company would hire you!"

Xu Xinchen stopped and looked up at the window where Lao Lin was leaning. Lao Lin saw Xu Xinchen stop.

Thinking that Xu Xinchen was afraid of being scolded by him, he became smug.

He became even more arrogant and said, "You regret it now? Let me tell you, it's too late for you to regret it now! If you want to join our company, you'll have to kneel down and beg me before I might consider it."

Xu Xinchen sneered repeatedly, no longer wanting to suppress her anger, and shouted directly at the window: "Look at you, dressed so well, and even a manager in this company, I never thought that under such a good appearance you would have such a rotten heart!"

Old Lin was stunned by Xu Xinchen's scolding. After realizing what she meant, he immediately opened his mouth to retort, "You think..."

How could Xu Xinchen obediently let Lao Lin insult her? She responded even louder, "You haven't even joined the company yet, and you're already thinking about how to take advantage of girls. I will definitely spread your name among job seekers so they can avoid falling into your trap!"

Many people passed by Xu Xinchen. When they saw her arguing with someone upstairs, they couldn't help but stop out of curiosity. After Xu Xinchen directly pointed out that the person upstairs was trying to take advantage of her, they all looked at the window with condemning eyes.

"Oh my, I never expected that someone who looks quite good would be such a disgusting person."

"That's right, and did you hear what this girl said? This person is actually a manager at this company. I need to hurry home and tell my family to avoid this company when they're looking for work. They can't be stupid enough to fall into a wolf's den."

"That's right, that's right, I need to go home and talk to my family too. This kind of company is really terrifying. If the manager is this disgusting, this company doesn't seem to have any future."

Hearing the people around him unanimously point their guns at Old Lin, Xu Xinchen smiled with satisfaction. She raised an eyebrow at Old Lin triumphantly, but her expression changed drastically as she looked at Old Lin's hypocritical face. She angrily closed the window before turning and leaving.

Not far behind Xu Xinchen, a person stood beside a clump of bushes, looking at Xu Xinchen with a strange expression, and said to the person next to him, "Why do I feel like this person looks a lot like my sister-in-law?"

The person standing next to him looked at him in confusion: "She looks like your sister-in-law? Which sister-in-law are you talking about?"

"It's the one that Ning Sheng likes very, very much."

Xu Xinchen, who had already walked far away, naturally couldn't hear what they were saying. She was still looking at the small advertisements posted on the street, intending to find a more reliable company among them and go take a look. It was just an accident for her to choose a company like this; not all companies would be like this one.

After wandering around for quite a while, Xu Xinchen finally decided on a target. Just as she was about to head to that company, her stomach suddenly rumbled.

Xu Xinchen covered her stomach shyly, looked around, and spotted a very clean fried noodle stall. She immediately went over there.

"Boss, please make me a plate of fried noodles, please." Xu Xinchen walked into the shop and casually found a seat.

The owner, who was busy in the kitchen, looked up and called out, "Alright, please wait a moment, sir."

Xu Xinchen did not respond, but took out a small book she carried with her from her bag and began to read it.

Shortly after Xu Xinchen entered the store, another person walked in. This person had neatly combed hair, a handsome face, and wore a clean white shirt and black trousers.

At first glance, one can't help but feel a good impression of this person.

Xu Xinchen had been looking down at her book and hadn't noticed the person at all. After seeing her, the person who was originally heading towards the kitchen suddenly turned and walked straight towards her.

It wasn't until a large shadow loomed over her that Xu Xinchen realized someone was standing next to her. Frowning slightly, Xu Xinchen said with some displeasure, "Excuse me, is there something you need?"

As she spoke, Xu Xinchen looked up at the person, and what she saw startled her so much that she dropped the book she was holding.

"You recognized me?" Chen Baifei said to Xu Xinchen with a gentle smile on his face.

Xu Xinchen's face darkened, and she bent down to pick up the book that had fallen to the ground: "Why are you here?"

Chen Baifei smiled and shrugged: "There's nothing I can do. That small county town doesn't have much development potential. I'm not willing to be stuck there as a teacher for the rest of my life, so I have to come out and look for opportunities."

Xu Xinchen shrank back into the corner with the book in her hand, her face full of vigilance: "Okay, you can leave now, right?"

Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's blunt words, Chen Baifei's face showed a nostalgic expression: "Min Shi, you are really different now than before."

Xu Xinchen's lips twitched slightly: "Nothing's different, it's just that you've never known me before."
