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...
"It's alright, don't worry. I've found you now. You're safe with me. They won't dare to do anything to you."
After a series of words, Xu Xinchen was finally calmed down by Chen Ningsheng. She snatched the teacup from Chen Ningsheng's hand, felt the heat emanating from it, and pinched her palm until it hurt before she felt at ease.
Anyway, as long as she's still alive, that's all that matters. Chen Ningsheng has just found her, and she definitely won't die silently in the coffee shop like those four corpses.
It took Chen Ningsheng a lot of effort to calm Xu Xinchen down, and a storm was brewing in his eyes. No matter what, he wouldn't let those people off easily once they had messed with Xu Xinchen.
Now that this has happened, those people are probably going to get the death penalty. Next, he should find someone inside to cause them some trouble.
Xu Xinchen was unaware of Chen Ningsheng's thoughts. She stayed at home for several days to recover from her emotional distress.
When she was leaving for work, Wu Jiayi waited in the office. As soon as she saw Xu Xinchen, she immediately came up to her and hugged her.
Her tone was filled with deep remorse: "I'm so sorry, Min Shi. I never expected that the person in charge of that company would be such a bastard. If I had known, I shouldn't have let you go on this business trip."
Wu Jiayi was filled with regret. Not only had she failed to secure the business deal, but she had also terrified Xu Xinchen. She wished she had known better.
The person from that company who came out to discuss business was a ruthless bastard; she should have sent a male instead.
If a boy had gone there, Manager Li certainly wouldn't have done such a lewd thing, let alone the series of events that followed.
Upon hearing Wu Jiayi's words, Xu Xinchen shook her head and said to Wu Jiayi, "It's a good thing you let me go, otherwise I don't know when I would have discovered the true colors of these bastards."
Although Xu Xinchen was terrified, she was ultimately relieved. If she hadn't been the one who went there, perhaps none of this would have happened, and the four corpses might never have been discovered. Manager Li and his group would still be doing these things.
In the end, it might not just be four people who suffer. Although she was scared, she did do a good deed, so Xu Xinchen can be considered happy.
Hearing what Xu Xinchen said, Wu Jiayi felt even more upset. Her hands, which were holding Xu Xinchen, trembled slightly. "In the end, it was my carelessness that made me not understand the other party properly. This collaboration is over. You've only just returned after a few days of rest. Don't push yourself too hard at work. Just get used to it slowly."
Xu Xinchen nodded, looked at Wu Jiayi gratefully, thanked Wu Jiayi, and then turned around and walked back to her seat.
Seeing that Xu Xinchen seemed to be in good spirits, Wu Jiayi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly gave a few instructions to the people in the office to take good care of Xu Xinchen before returning to her office.
As soon as Wu Jiayi left, the atmosphere in the office immediately became strange. The first person to speak was Lin Lina.
Xu Xinchen snorted and said sarcastically, "Oh dear, what a jinx! Wherever you go, bad luck happens. You bring misfortune to me at the company, and you bring misfortune to other people's companies too."
As soon as Lin Lina said this, Lin Bingchun was the first to stand up and defend Xu Xinchen: "Lin Lina, what nonsense are you talking about? Is this what Min Shi wants? If Min Shi doesn't go to their company, will this kind of thing not happen there? Get this straight, this Manager Li was always this kind of person. It's the company's problem that they can't judge people well. What does it have to do with Min Shi?"
"Ouch!" Lin Lina deliberately made a few strange noises, her words still sounding very unpleasant: "You really have the nerve to say that. It's true that she had problems to begin with, but she is also a jinx. Otherwise, how come that company has been running for several years without any problems, but this kind of thing happened as soon as she went to negotiate business with them? How can you still have the nerve to say that she is not a jinx?"
Lin Bingchun was anxious and wanted to argue with Lin Lina again, but Xu Xinchen grabbed her hand and gently shook her head: "Alright, don't get entangled with her anymore, she doesn't understand anything."
If Lin Lina were talking about something else, Xu Xinchen might have been in the mood to argue with her. But the matter at hand was far too serious, and Xu Xinchen simply didn't want to pay any attention to Lin Lina's nonsensical remarks.
The others in the office sensed Xu Xinchen's thoughts, and one by one they started laughing and chatting with her about other things, each of them trying their best to change the subject.
Sitting opposite Xu Xinchen, Lin Lina saw how nervous everyone in the office was about Xu Xinchen, and she was so angry that her nose almost crooked. She slammed her hand on the table and said angrily, "You guys should get close to her. The longer you stay close to a jinx like her, the faster you'll be doomed. Don't say I didn't warn you!"
After saying that, Lin Lina walked out, humming and whimpering, in her high heels.
Xu Xinchen shook her head slightly as she watched Lin Lina's retreating figure. She really couldn't understand Lin Lina's thoughts. Why could Lin Lina make such a big deal out of something like this?
However, before Xu Xinchen could think too much about it, the others quickly distracted her with new topics. After working in the company all day, Xu Xinchen stood up and stretched.
With the end of the workday approaching, Xu Xinchen began packing her things. After that day, Xu Xinchen had made up her mind that no matter how much work she had, she would leave on time and would never stay at the company to work overtime again.
Firstly, the events of that day had left her with too many psychological scars. Secondly, Chen Ningsheng now strongly insists that she leave work on time so he can pick her up and take her home, which would put his mind at ease.
Previously, when Xu Xinchen occasionally needed to work overtime, she would tell Chen Ningsheng not to come pick her up, and she would go home by herself. Now, Chen Ningsheng is not comfortable letting her go home alone anymore.
