Lin Bingchun smiled and shook her head, saying to Xu Xinchen, "Why are you being so polite? But seriously, if your boyfriend, Min Shi, really runs into trouble, you'd better make some preparations in advance, so as not to be caught off guard and cause big trouble."

Upon hearing Lin Bingchun's words, Xu Xinchen's face flushed red: "How did you know he was my boyfriend?" She hadn't even mentioned who the main character was.

"Isn't that simple?" Lin Bingchun smiled, looking quite smug. "Generally speaking, when you ask someone a question that's difficult to ask, saying it's from a friend, it usually means you're referring to yourself."

Feeling a little embarrassed by being so directly exposed, Xu Xinchen reached out and picked up a piece of meat from her bowl, placing it in Lin Bingchun's bowl: "Let's eat quickly, we've already wasted so much time here."

That's true. They spent a lot of their lunch break talking to Lin Bingchun. If they don't eat soon, they'll probably be late getting back, which will slow down their work progress in the afternoon.

Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's words, Lin Bingchun immediately lowered her head and began to eat voraciously. This would delay her work progress, which was unacceptable. She didn't want to stay and work overtime, knowing that at night, apart from the security guard, there was no one else in the company, and the atmosphere was incredibly eerie.

Neither of them spoke again, and they finished their meal quickly. In just over ten minutes, they were back in their office.

As soon as Xu Xinchen stepped into the office, she keenly sensed that something was off about the atmosphere. She tugged at Lin Bingchun's sleeve.

She gestured for Lin Bingchun to look into the office. Most of the people inside were huddled together whispering, so their entrance went unnoticed.

Unlike Xu Xinchen, Lin Bingchun couldn't keep her mouth shut. She called out to the people in the office, "Everyone, what are you talking about? Could you tell us?"

The people in the office looked up and saw Lin Bingchun. Just as they were about to greet her, they suddenly noticed Xu Xinchen standing behind her, and their smiles turned somewhat awkward: "Ah, you two, you're here?"

Xu Xinchen naturally wouldn't miss his abrupt change in expression. Raising her eyebrows slightly, Xu Xinchen called out to the man, "Brother Zhou, do you have something to tell me?"

The person whose expression suddenly changed was surnamed Zhou. He was one of the older people in the sales department, so everyone called him Brother Zhou, and Xu Xinchen followed suit.

Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's question, Brother Zhou scratched his head awkwardly and said to her, "Just now... the supervisor came over here and called Lin Lina to the office. From what I overheard them talking, it seems like it's related to you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xinchen frowned immediately, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at Brother Zhou: "What does this have to do with me? What could possibly have to do with me?"

As she spoke, Xu Xinchen suddenly remembered that the matter of her documents being tampered with had not yet been resolved. At this critical juncture, Wu Jiayi suddenly summoned Lin Lina to her office, and it was related to her. Could it be that Wu Jiayi had found evidence to prove that Lin Lina was the one who did it?

Thinking of this, Xu Xinchen felt a surge of excitement and quickly asked Brother Zhou, "What did Manager Wu say?"

"Did she ask you to pass on a message to me?" Logically speaking, Wu Jiayi should have asked someone in the office to notify her so that she could also come to the confrontation, which is why she asked this question.

Speaking of this, Brother Zhou suddenly clapped his hands: "Oh, right, I didn't even remember that until you mentioned it. Manager Wu told us to tell you to go to her office when you get back."

As expected, Xu Xinchen was overjoyed because of this incident, and even the shadow cast by Chen Ningsheng's incident was greatly reduced. She hurriedly turned around and ran away.

When she arrived outside Wu Jiayi's office, she could faintly hear Wu Jiayi's scolding voice, so she stopped and stood outside to listen for a few minutes.

"You don't work properly and spend all your time doing these crooked things. Do you think you're worthy of the company's trust in you? Do you think you're worthy of the company's training and development? What has the company done to wrong you? Are you going to ruin the company's business like this?"

In the office, Wu Jiayi was furious because Lin Lina had tampered with Xu Xinchen's documents. She scolded Lin Lina so badly that Lin Lina sat on the sofa with her legs drawn up, tears streaming down her face.

But this crying expression didn't elicit any pity from Wu Jiayi. On the contrary, it made Wu Jiayi even angrier: "Crying? What's the use of crying? Do you know that once that document is submitted, it will cause losses to the company, and our entire department will have to bear the responsibility? How can you be so naive? Do you think that you can get away with harming only Lu Minshi?"

"Let me tell you, if something goes wrong, the entire department will be looked down upon by others, and the leaders will doubt your work ability. Don't think that you can get away with this by using such petty tricks! I will definitely not hide this from the company and will report it to the company truthfully. You'd better be prepared to accept the punishment."

Xu Xinchen was standing outside and couldn't see Lin Lina's expression, but he could hear the pleading in Lin Lina's voice: "No, no, Sister Jiayi, Sister Jiayi, please listen to me, can you not tell the company about this? I, I was just confused for a moment, I will never do such a thing again, please give me a chance."

Wu Jiayi's voice sounded very firm: "Impossible! You have to be punished for what you did wrong. When Lu Minshi comes over later, you should have a good talk with her and tell her exactly what you did to her things, and then apologize to her! You made her have so much more work for no reason!"

"No, Jiayi, I really apologized to her, but that would confirm that I destroyed her things. If other people in the company find out, I'll be ridiculed." Lin Lina's voice sounded extremely desperate.
