Chapter 128

Xu Xinchen was dragged along by Lin Bingchun, stumbling and falling as she ran forward. She adjusted her pace, but still stumbled several times before finally catching up with Lin Bingchun and managing to steady her unsteady body.

As the two arrived at the cafeteria, they could hear Lin Lina's shrill voice from a distance: "Oh, you mean that new girl? Let me tell you, she's not easy to get along with. Today, I tried to talk to her, but she ignored me and even glared at me."

Sitting opposite Lin Lina were several women Xu Xinchen didn't recognize. They appeared to be employees from other departments, all dressed smartly, yet they were all showing great interest in what Lin Lina was saying, their faces beaming with excitement.

"Oh my, Lina, are you serious? She's so arrogant since she's new here. Does that mean we won't dare ask her to do anything in the future?"

Lin Lina's confident voice rang out again: "Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? This morning, she glared at me so much that I didn't dare to look her in the eye. And at noon, I saw that she was new and kindly invited her to eat in the cafeteria, but she didn't want to come."

"This newcomer is far too arrogant. You should just ignore her from now on and let her fend for herself in the company. Otherwise, your good intentions will be taken for granted."

Lin Lina, perhaps having received support from others, sounded quite aggrieved: "Sigh, it's all my fault for being too soft-hearted. Seeing that she's new and doesn't know anyone in the company, I felt sorry for her, so I wanted to help her. But I didn't expect her to be so rude. I'll learn from this experience and be more careful in the future."

of. "

Xu Xinchen stood there, speechless for a long time, silently staring at Lin Lina's back. This morning? If she remembered correctly, it was because Lin Lina spoke in a sarcastic tone that she glared at Lin Lina, right? How did it become that she was difficult to get along with in Lin Lina's mouth? If Lin Lina hadn't provoked her, why would she have glared at Lin Lina?

Lin Bingchun stood beside Xu Xinchen, tightly holding Xu Xinchen's hand, and said indignantly, "I knew that Lin Lina would never have a moment's peace. Look at what she's saying."

Xu Xinchen smiled, tugged at Lin Bingchun's arm, and said to Lin Bingchun, "It's okay, once I walk past her, she'll know what a chaotic scene is."

Lin Bingchun turned her head, stared at Xu Xinchen with wide eyes, and asked with a face full of curiosity, "What are you planning to do? Are you going to embarrass Lin Lina on the spot? Or maybe you should just hold back for now. After all, you're a new employee. If you offend Lin Lina from the start, she'll definitely target you badly in the future."

Xu Xinchen patted Lin Bingchun's head. She finally understood why Lin Bingchun had been bullied by Lin Lina like that. It turned out that she thought that as a new employee, she had to give way to the senior employees. How naive!

Xu Xinchen had no intention of telling Lin Bingchun what she wanted to do. She broke free from Lin Bingchun's grasp and strode towards Lin Lina.

Lin Lina was still chatting happily with the other women when she suddenly started making up a story about how Xu Xinchen almost got into a fight with her that morning. As Xu Xinchen listened, she walked toward Lin Lina, her anger surging.

Just as Lin Lina was speaking happily, Xu Xinchen stood next to her and reached out to put her hand on the table.

He slapped her: "Ms. Lin Lina, did so many dirty things happen between us this morning? I don't remember anything like it."

Just as Lin Lina was having a good time, the person she was talking about suddenly showed up at her door. Instantly, she felt guilty and swallowed back all the words she hadn't finished saying, her face turning bright red.

At first, he looked at Xu Xinchen with a rather guilty expression, but later, perhaps feeling too embarrassed in front of his friends or something, he suddenly became tough and reached out to imitate Xu Xinchen, slamming his hand on the table.

He shouted at Xu Xinchen, "Am I wrong? Didn't you glare at me this morning? Do you dare swear to God that you didn't glare at me?"

Xu Xinchen sneered a few times. Lin Lina was just as good at avoiding the main issue. She turned her head directly to the women sitting opposite Lin Lina and said, "Hello, ladies. I am the arrogant new employee that Ms. Lin Lina was talking about. Here I need to clarify a few points for you."

"First, regarding what Ms. Lin Lina said about me glaring at her this morning, it was because she said I shouldn't be working in the company's sales department, that I looked pampered and couldn't handle the hardships of sales. I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I glared at her."

"Secondly, Ms. Lin Lina said that I almost got into an argument with her, but that's not true at all. If you don't believe me, you can go to the sales department and ask. I'm a new employee who just joined this morning. Where did she get the guts to argue with a senior employee?"

"The third point is my personal advice to you all. Ms. Lin Lina's ability to fabricate stories out of thin air is so impressive that you should be careful when associating with her, lest you suddenly find yourself becoming the female protagonist in the incident Ms. Lina is talking about."

After delivering a barrage of insults to Lin Lina, Xu Xinchen calmly turned around and walked towards the food serving window. The commotion drew the attention of many employees in the cafeteria.

Seeing Xu Xinchen leave Lin Lina's table and walk towards the window, the others couldn't help but stare at Lin Lina's back, and some even started whispering among themselves.

Lin Lina sat in her seat, her cheeks flushed red, unsure how to smooth things over. Across from her, the women who had been chatting happily with her earlier were now looking at her with wary expressions.

After a long pause, the group picked up their unfinished food and said to Lin Lina, "We suddenly feel full, so we'll be going now. Lina, you can eat slowly."

Lin Lina lowered her head and squeezed out a "hmm" from her throat. How could she not understand that the people opposite her were wary of her? But in this situation, she couldn't say anything more.

If she continued to get entangled with these people, she would only become the focus of everyone's attention. All she could do now was wait for them to leave before taking her plate and leaving the cafeteria.
