Before Xu Xinchen could raise her head, Lin Lina stood up first, shoving the chair behind her far away with a thud, while slapping a document on the table.

Xu Xinchen's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. With deep displeasure, she raised her head and looked coldly at Lin Lina: "Is there something you need?" Xu Xinchen said in a cold voice.

Xu Xinchen was quite annoyed that her train of thought had been inexplicably interrupted. She wondered what was wrong with Lin Lina. Couldn't she just say what she wanted to say? Why did she have to slam her fist on the table?

Lin Lina forced a smile under Xu Xinchen's gaze and said to him, "It's time to eat. Do you want to come to the restaurant with me?"

Xu Xinchen shook her head coldly. She could clearly sense that Lin Lina disliked her. She wasn't stupid; why would she go out of her way to have dinner with someone who hated her?

Lin Lina was obviously just asking the question on the surface. When she saw that Xu Xingxin was willing to have dinner with her, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the things on the table forward, and hurriedly walked out, as if she would be devoured alive by something behind her if she walked too slowly.

Xu Xinchen looked at Lin Lina's behavior and smiled disdainfully. With such a mentality, she still had the nerve to make things difficult for newcomers to the company.

Just then, the second girl from the sales department, who was sitting not far behind Xu Xinchen, came up and patted Xu Xinchen on the shoulder. Xu Xinchen turned around and was met with a bright, smiling face.

"Lu Minshi, hello, do you remember me? I mentioned my name when I introduced myself just now."

The girl was quite cute. She pointed to her face playfully and asked Xu Xinchen.

Xu Xinchen nodded, and seeing that the girl's smile was genuine, she smiled back and said, "Of course I remember. Your name is Lin Bingchun, right?"

Lin Bingchun smiled and readily confirmed Xu Xinchen's words: "Yes, that's right, Lin Bingchun is me. Although I share the same surname as that annoying Lin Lina, we don't know each other at all. Please don't mistake me for her."

Xu Xinchen was momentarily speechless, then picked up a tissue from the table and handed it to Lin Bingchun: "Of course not, we don't have the same surname. Even if we have the same birth date, I can tell the difference. There seems to be a small pen mark on your face, wipe it off."

Lin Bingchun was taken aback, then took the paper from Xu Xinchen's hand and held it up to her face: "Where is it? Where did I put it? Tell me."

Xu Xinchen chuckled softly, took a small mirror out of her backpack, and handed it to Lin Bingchun: "Take this mirror and check yourself. It's right here on your face." Xu Xinchen pointed to her cheek and said earnestly to Lin Bingchun.

Lin Bingchun took the paper Xu Xinchen gave her and quickly found the small pen mark. She rubbed the mark hard, and perhaps because it had only been there recently, it was wiped off in an instant.

As if that wasn't enough, Lin Bingchun grabbed Xu Xinchen's hand and said, "Come with me to the restroom, I feel like something's off on my face."

Xu Xinchen readily stood up. She could understand Lin Bingchun's feelings. If it were her, she would also feel that part of her cheek looked strange.

Xu Xinchen was led by the hand by Lin Bingchun all the way to the restroom. On the way to the restroom, Lin Bingchun did not forget to tell Xu Xinchen about Lin Lina.

Xu Xinchen summarized all of Lin Lina's deeds and came to a conclusion: Lin Lina was a very jealous person who especially liked to bully new employees. She herself had poor performance and liked to slack off, so she was the kind of person commonly known as an office veteran.

Lin Bingchun said to Xu Xinchen with a face full of indignation, "Min Shi, do you know? When I first joined the company, I didn't know anything and was threatened by Lin Lina many times. I did a lot of things for her. Later, someone in the sales department couldn't stand it anymore and secretly gave me some pointers."

Lin Bingchun waved her hand angrily, as if she were about to hit someone: "I just found out that Lin Lina has been treating me like a fool all along, pushing all her work onto me while she secretly slacks off on her own, and even taking all the credit for what I did, making me the scapegoat."

Xu Xinchen lowered her head and gently patted Lin Bingchun's hand: "It's okay. Now you know what kind of person she is. Just stay away from her in the future. A person like her will never get promoted no matter how long she works. As long as you work hard, you will eventually be in a higher position than her. Then that will be your chance to get revenge."

Hearing Xu Xinchen's words, Lin Bingchun nodded vigorously and said loudly to Xu Xinchen, "I know, don't worry, I will definitely climb higher than that annoying person and make that annoying person feel what she did to me."

Xu Xinchen pursed her lips, a hint of joy in her eyes. In such a short time, she had come to like Lin Bingchun quite a bit. She was a very straightforward girl who clearly showed who she liked and disliked.

Being with Lin Bingchun was not troublesome at all; it was very easy. However, someone like her would probably be at a disadvantage when negotiating business deals. Thinking of this, Xu Xinchen subtly inquired about Lin Bingchun's business dealings.

As expected, Lin Bingchun looked annoyed and said, "I don't know what's going on, but sometimes when I'm negotiating a deal, they just back out very quickly."

Xu Xinchen chuckled, unsure how to comfort Lin Bingchun. He could only pat Lin Bingchun's hair and say, "Alright, don't think about it so much. Let's hurry to the cafeteria. If we go any later, I'm afraid all the food will be gone."

Lin Bingchun only realized what was happening at this moment. She quickly picked up the paper Xu Xinchen had given her, wiped her wet half-face, excitedly grabbed Xu Xinchen's hand, and ran with Xu Xinchen into the cafeteria.

“You’re right, Min Shi. I almost forgot. Once it’s lunchtime, these people in the company are like starving ghosts. We have to hurry up, or there might not even be a bowl left.”
