"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.

However, Wu Jiayi was not fooled by Lin Lina's words. She looked at Lin Lina coldly and said, "What kind of daydream are you having? Even if you don't apologize to Lu Minshi, I will definitely tell the company everything about what you did."

"Someone like you, instead of thinking about how to do your job well during work hours, is plotting and scheming to frame your colleagues. Our department can't afford someone like you. You should find another place to develop your career."

Wu Jiayi's tone was full of determination. She knew that Lin Lina had been forced into the company and had some connections, but she just didn't want to spoil Lin Lina. There was no such thing as mutual cover-ups in the workplace. If you made a mistake, you had to admit it. She couldn't step in to protect Lin Lina, just like when Lin Lina's backer came along.

Hearing Wu Jiayi's firm words, Xu Xinchen felt as if her heart was being soaked in warm water, becoming soft and gentle, and extremely happy. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then stepped forward and knocked on the office door.

"Knock knock".

"Come in."

Two crisp sounds came from the door into the office, and Wu Jiayi knew that Xu Xinchen must have come in.

She coughed softly, abandoning her furious demeanor from when she faced Lin Lina, and reverting to her usual calm.

Xu Xinchen pushed open the door and walked in, gently calling out to Wu Jiayi, "Manager Wu, I heard from Brother Zhou that you were looking for me."

Wu Jiayi gave a soft "hmm" and nodded to Xu Xinchen: "Yes, it was me who came to see you. Come sit here." As Wu Jiayi spoke, she reached out and patted the seat next to her. Lin Lina was sitting opposite her, her head down, her back trembling, looking as if she was sobbing.

Suppressing her excitement, Xu Xinchen slowly walked over to Lin Lina and sat down, facing her. However, Lin Lina didn't look up; she just kept rubbing her eyes with her hands.

Wu Jiayi rubbed her forehead, looking pained, and said, "A security guard came to my office today and told me that on the day your documents were tampered with, Lin Lina left the office and then returned. She didn't stay in her seat, but moved two seats away. So I called her over and asked her, and she admitted that she tampered with your things."

Xu Xinchen had already guessed this outcome, so she didn't show anything on the surface, but was excited inside: "Why did Manager Wu call me here?"

Wu Jiayi turned her head and glanced at Lin Lina, her voice sounding extremely cold: "She's already here, hurry up and apologize to her, then you can go back to your office and do your work."

Lin Lina bit her lip hard, looking at her swollen and red knee. She already felt extremely ashamed, and now she had to apologize to Lu Minshi? How could that be possible? No, even if she were beaten to death, she would never apologize.

After waiting for two or three minutes and seeing that Lin Lina still didn't speak, Wu Jiayi understood what Lin Lina was thinking. She chuckled coldly a few times, stood up, pointed to the office door, and said to Lin Lina, "If you're not willing to apologize, then get out of here right now."

Lin Lina bit her lip, stood up, stomped her foot hard on the floor, turned around and walked straight outside. Only after her figure disappeared did Wu Jiayi sit down as if she had breathed a sigh of relief and lean her head on the sofa.

"Min Shi," Wu Jiayi, who was looking up at the ceiling, suddenly called out to Xu Xinchen.

Xu Xinchen shuddered and immediately turned to look at Wu Jiayi, asking, "Manager Wu, I'm here. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Wu Jiayi's tone sounded very sad: "You must have heard that Lin Lina's family has connections in the company, right?"

Xu Xinchen nodded slightly: "I have heard of such a thing."

Wu Jiayi sighed softly: "This happened, but it was discovered in time and did not cause any damage to the company. So it's impossible to make Lin Lina suffer any serious punishment. I guess at most she'll just get a warning or be fined a month's salary."

Upon hearing this news, Xu Xinchen's smile froze, her lips pursed, and her fingers clenched tightly into the soft flesh of her palm. How could this be? Lin Lina almost caused her to lose her job and have to compensate the company, but she did this herself and, after being exposed, didn't have to suffer any punishment. This is just too unfair.

Not hearing any sound from Xu Xinchen, Wu Jiayi straightened up from her chair, turned her head to look at Xu Xinchen, and sure enough, saw that Xu Xinchen's face was full of resentment.

She sighed helplessly and patted Xu Xinchen on the back: "Min Shi, don't think so much. You know, once this gets out, her popularity in the company will plummet. It's practically the same as punishing her. Relax a little. Don't think about it so much, okay?"

Xu Xinchen pursed her lips and nodded gently. In fact, she had experienced similar grievances before. In her previous life, when she was struggling in the entertainment industry, she had to endure far more grievances than this.

But perhaps because she had been pampered by Chen Ningsheng for so long since coming into this world, this was the first time she had encountered something like this, so it was inevitable that she couldn't accept it. Now, after Wu Jiayi said that, and thinking about how the other people in the office avoided Lin Lina like the plague, she stopped worrying about it so much.

She nodded slightly to Wu Jiayi and said, "Manager Wu, I understand. Don't worry, I won't dwell on this anymore. I'll follow the company's arrangements."

Wu Jiayi sighed. The more she looked at Lu Minshi, the more she felt that Lu Minshi was a really good person. It was so rare to find someone who could understand other people's difficulties and wouldn't immediately make a scene at the slightest unpleasant news.

Especially in the case of Lin Lina, even though the situation was clearly in her favor, she was able to consider Lin Lina's difficulties and not cause her any trouble, which is truly commendable.
