21st-century film empress Xu Xinchen is reborn into the body of Lu Minshi in the 1980s.
Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...
People who dislike Xu Xinchen won't automatically stay away from her just because she dislikes her. After Xu Xinchen leisurely slacked off for about ten minutes, with only two minutes left before work started, Lin Lina finally arrived at the office just in time.
Her gaze swept around the office and quickly settled on Xu Xinchen. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when she saw Xu Xinchen, her steps seemed to quicken, and the sound of her heels hitting the floor was so jarring that everyone else in the office frowned.
At that moment, Xu Xinchen was discussing work-related issues with Lin Bingchun when she heard the sound of heels clicking on the floor behind her.
Xu Xinchen couldn't help but turn her head and met Lin Lina's disdainful eyes. Xu Xinchen's smiling face instantly turned cold, and she glared fiercely at Lin Lina.
When Lin Lina saw Xu Xinchen glaring at her, she immediately became angry: "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, someone will gouge your eyes out!"
Xu Xinchen frowned slightly. After a night, Lin Lina seemed completely different from yesterday. Yesterday, Lin Lina didn't seem as fierce as she did today. Xu Xinchen wondered what had happened to Lin Lina.
What Xu Xinchen didn't know was that Lin Lina had seen those women yesterday, and after she left, they went back to find Xu Xinchen. At this moment, to Lin Lina, Xu Xinchen was someone who had ruined her relationships, practically no different from a murderer of her father.
As for the fear that Xu Xinchen brought her yesterday, it had long been worn away by Lin Lina's resentment over the course of the night, leaving only intense hatred.
Xu Xinchen didn't react to what Lin Lina said, but Lin Bingchun, who was opposite Xu Xinchen, was not happy. He glared at Lin Lina and said fiercely, "First thing in the morning, some people come into the office and start cursing. I really don't know if they have any manners."
Xu Xinchen turned her head and patted Lin Bingchun's hand: "Okay, stop talking. Some people, maybe that's just how family is. Let's just focus on our own things."
The two women worked together, making Lin Lina's face turn red with anger. But Xu Xinchen wasn't alone, and she didn't dare to do anything to Xu Xinchen in the office. She could only stomp her foot angrily and walk more forcefully towards her seat.
The rest of the people in the office were all men. Seeing the three girls arguing like this, no one dared to speak up and smooth things over. They could only quietly walk over to Lin Bingchun and Xu Xinchen after the three of them stopped fighting and ask them what was going on.
Xu Xinchen looked at the boys surrounding her and Lin Bingchun, and then at the empty space around Lin Lina. Curiosity arose in her heart. After talking to the boys, Xu Xinchen went up to Lin Bingchun and quietly asked her about Lin Lina.
"Bingchun, have you noticed that Lin Lina seems quite unpopular in this office? Of course, I'm not referring to us, but to everyone in our office."
Lin Bingchun curled her lip, saying with a disdainful look, "In Lin Lina's eyes, people are divided into two categories: those worth associating with and those not worth associating with. Our entire sales department is honored to be among those whom Lin Lina considers unworthy."
Within the scope of what they need to interact with.
Xu Xinchen raised an eyebrow slightly: "Not a single exception? What's going on?"
Lin Bingchun turned her head and glanced at Lin Lina, who was looking at her fingernails and not paying any attention to her work. Her tone was full of disdain.
"You don't know, in Lin Lina's eyes, the people in our sales department are like her servants. If she can't solve something, she will ask other people for help, and if other people are unwilling to help her, she will immediately turn on them."
"Moreover, she never came to the company with any pure purpose. Her biggest goal was to marry a rich man. I heard that she originally wanted to be a secretary, but unfortunately, she wasn't good enough at her job. However, her family has some connections, which is why they got her into the sales department. How could someone who was forcibly put into the sales department have any good feelings towards it?"
After listening to Lin Bingchun's explanation, Xu Xinchen concluded that Lin Lina didn't want to stay in the sales department at all. She only came to work at the company because she had no income at home and couldn't meet more wealthy people.
It wasn't just after Xu Xinchen joined that she became unpopular; she had always been unpopular from the beginning because she always looked down on people.
However, thinking about Lin Lina's conversation with those people in the accounting department yesterday, Xu Xinchen's curiosity was piqued again. Finding out about Lin Lina's friendships would be very beneficial to him: "How come she gets along so well with the people in the accounting department?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bingchun's disdainful expression became even more pronounced: "Is there even a need to ask? Accounting Department..."
"They handle the payments over there. In Lin Lina's eyes, they're somehow superior to us who work outside all the time, so naturally she's willing to befriend them."
The two chatted quietly for a long time before Xu Xinchen finally understood Lin Lina's situation. She nodded and changed the subject with Lin Bingchun, returning to work. In her heart, her opinion of Lin Lina had undergone a new change.
Sitting opposite Xu Xinchen and Lin Bingchun, Lin Lina naturally saw the two of them whispering to each other. However, she didn't take it to heart. She knew with her brain that Lin Bingchun would never say anything good about her. But Lin Bingchun was not afraid at all. The only person she needed to be wary of was Xu Xinchen.
Xu Xinchen didn't care what Lin Lina was thinking. She inquired about Lin Lina's situation simply to better understand Lin Lina as a person.
Lin Lina, whom she was wary of, suddenly tried to trip her up. She didn't care about anything else. Whatever Lin Lina wanted to do, she would just accept it wholeheartedly.
The morning passed quickly, and it was lunchtime. Lin Lina stood up, pushed the chair she was sitting on forcefully, and then pushed it back forcefully. Her desk was separated from Xu Xinchen's, and with this collision, Xu Xinchen's hand trembled, and most of a glass of water was spilled onto the documents.
