Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...

Chapter 161

Hearing Xu Xinchen's jealous words, Chen Ningsheng wasn't angry at all. Instead, he moved closer to Xu Xinchen and asked, "Baby, are you really willing to paddle?"

Chen Ningsheng's handsome face with its three-dimensional features and dashing contours became even more magnified in front of Xu Xinchen. Looking at him, Xu Xinchen couldn't help but swallow hard, secretly cursing him as a devil who had deliberately come to seduce her. He was simply a jinx.

Chen Ningsheng's pleasure grew as he looked at Xu Xinchen's blushing and shy expression. He moved closer and closer to Xu Xinchen, staring intently into her eyes as if trying to draw her into them.

Xu Xinchen let out a wail and suddenly pushed Chen Ningsheng's face away from her: "Don't seduce me anymore. If you seduce me again, I will really scratch your face."

Chen Ningsheng had originally intended to tease Xu Xinchen, but Xu Xinchen suddenly slapped him in the face. He was caught off guard and couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xu Xinchen say such a thing.

While laughing and nodding, Chen Ningsheng said, "Okay, okay, I understand. Can you let go of me now?" He then leaned his head forward and pointed to Xu Xinchen's hand.

Xu Xinchen was taken aback at first, then quickly withdrew her hand and said to the driver, trying to remain calm, "Uncle Ma, let's hurry up and leave, don't waste any more time here."

The driver nodded expressionlessly, but inwardly he was laughing hysterically. The interactions between the CEO and his wife were just too much fun. Picking his wife up from get off work every day was truly the happiest part of his workday.

Those two were really funny.

Xu Xinchen couldn't figure out what the driver was thinking. As soon as the driver started the car, she immediately grabbed her backpack and hid to the side, staring cautiously at Chen Ningsheng with eyes full of wariness: "Let's make this clear first, don't come any closer to me. I will definitely not take the bait."

Chen Ningsheng nodded, reached out and took Xu Xinchen's hand, forcibly intertwining his fingers with hers: "Baby, did Lin Lina say anything to you today?"

Chen Ningsheng was a little worried. He was concerned that Lin Lina might use their conversation that morning to say something inappropriate to provoke Xu Xinchen.

You see, based on his understanding of those vain women who always try to cling to him, most of them have this kind of inherent flaw. If Lin Lina says something that hurts Xu Xinchen, that would be bad.

When Xu Xinchen heard Chen Ningsheng finally get to the point, the heat on her face subsided, and she shook her head at Chen Ningsheng: "No, it's just that she looked very angry when she came into the office this morning. I said a few words to provoke her, and she just sat back down in her seat."

As Xu Xinchen spoke, his brows furrowed: "It's rare that you didn't hold it against me. Later, Lin Bingchun told me that she saw Lin Lina downstairs in the morning, talking to someone in a car. That's when I found out that you had seen her that morning. The car that Lin Bingchun described looks so much like your car. I was shocked when I heard it."

Chen Ningsheng nodded thoughtfully and said to Xu Xinchen, "I originally thought Lin Lina would use this incident this morning to deliberately provoke you."

Xu Xinchen looked at Chen Ningsheng with disbelief: "How could you have such a thought? No matter how scheming she is..."

No matter how vain she is, she's still a girl. How could she so brazenly say in front of everyone that she's trying to steal her colleague's boyfriend?

Xu Xinchen really couldn't understand what Chen Ningsheng was thinking. In Xu Xinchen's opinion, Lin Lina was a girl after all. If Lin Lina had any self-respect, she wouldn't have said something like publicly declaring that she wanted to be a mistress.

Hearing Xu Xinchen say this, Chen Ningsheng didn't tell her that he had seen many such things before. Instead, he smiled and ruffled Xu Xinchen's hair, saying, "Well, there won't be any cases of someone poaching your partner, so don't worry."

The next day when I saw Lin Lina, she arrived at the office much earlier than usual, even earlier than Xu Xinchen. However, her expression was still very unpleasant. When she saw Xu Xinchen walk into the office, she even glared at Xu Xinchen a few times. Her expression looked fierce and unapproachable.

Xu Xinchen glared back, walked into the office on her own, greeted the other colleagues, and soon it was time to start work, and everyone in the office had arrived.

Just then, Wu Jiayi, holding a form in her hand, pushed open the door and walked in, calling out to Xu Xinchen, "Lu Minshi, come out with me for a moment."

Xu Xinchen nodded, harboring some doubts in her heart, wondering if Lin Lina had tampered with the data again, causing the error, but outwardly she remained calm and walked out.

After arriving at Wu Jiayi's office, Wu Jiayi placed the documents in her hand into Xu Xinchen's hands: "You're in charge of this deal. Remember, you have to get it done no matter what."

Xu Xinchen glanced down and realized that the order Wu Jiayi had given her this time was different from the usual low-profit, easy-to-negotiate orders. This order had a higher profit margin and was more complex. If she could secure this order...

If it's a child, then her bonus next month will definitely be substantial.

Xu Xinchen raised her head in surprise. Based on her understanding of these companies, they generally wouldn't give new employees such large orders in the first three months. Why was Wu Jiayi so confident in entrusting her with such an order this time?

Wu Jiayi seemed to see the confusion on Xu Mima's face and smiled as she said to Xu Xinchen, "You did a great job."

Xu Xinchen was taken aback, and asked Wu Jiayi with a confused look, "Manager Wu, what did I do?"

Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's question, Wu Jiayi's smile faded, and she glared at Xu Xinchen with a look of disappointment: "The data you submitted yesterday was very good, absolutely perfect."

"Considering your performance over the past month, I've applied to the company to let you try out some medium-profit deals. If you can close them, the company will consider giving you more opportunities."

Unlike managers who worry about their subordinates climbing over their heads, Wu Jiayi does her job well, and if any of her subordinates become capable, she will do her best to help them out.

After all, the operation of a company depends on the abilities of all its employees, not on her alone. As long as she does her job well.
