"Lu Minshi, you are the most capable and least troublesome girl in our department since it was established. I didn't expect you to leave after working here for such a short time. It's such a pity."

Xu Xinchen smiled and shook her head: "Thank you for the compliment, Brother Zhou, but I'm not actually as good as you say. You'll know when you meet someone like me in the future. There are plenty of girls in this world just like me, and even more outstanding ones. More and more girls will be involved in the workforce in the future."

"Sigh..." Brother Zhou sighed softly, but in the end he couldn't say anything. He reached out and patted Xu Xinchen's shoulder before turning around and walking back to his seat.

Lin Bingchun accompanied Xu Xinchen downstairs, and the two parted ways only after they reached the company's main entrance. Xu Xinchen had originally thought she would need to stay at the company for a while longer.

Therefore, Chen Ningsheng wasn't asked to pick her up beforehand, and now she has no choice but to take a tricycle home. Lin Bingchun stayed with her downstairs at the company until the tricycle arrived, then gently hugged Xu Xinchen before turning and walking into the company.

Although she had only worked here for a short time, a deep sense of reluctance welled up in her heart. Xu Xinchen watched Lin Bingchun's departing figure, and wiped away her tears with a touch of sadness.

He gave the tricycle driver an address, and only after the vehicle started moving did he compose himself and turn to look at the scenery along the roadside.

Chen Ningsheng was holding a meeting in the company; the large conference room was packed with people. At the very top of the conference room, a...

Each employee nervously held up their completed proposal, explaining their thoughts word by word.

Chen Ningsheng sat at the bottom, slowly flipping through the copy of the plan in the employee's hand, his expression cold and indifferent, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Because of his behavior, the employee at the top who was presenting the plan became even more nervous, fearing that his plan would not be to his liking.

At the end, the employee said, "I have finished presenting my proposal. Thank you for listening."

Chen Ningsheng then coldly tossed the folder in his hand onto the table: "The plan is good, but it exceeds the budget. I'll give you two days to figure out a way to make up for it or find an alternative."

The employee standing at the top inwardly groaned, but still had to respectfully reply, "Understood, President."

Over the next few hours, several employees went up to present their proposals, and Chen Ningsheng only gave his own thoughts after listening to them all.

Whether it was a simple "pass" or a rebuttal, the meeting lasted for over an hour before finally adjourning.

After the conference room door opened, Chen Ningsheng walked in front of everyone, his expression indifferent and his aura icy.

His designer clothes, his model-like physique, and his handsome face combined to make him look like a noble emperor.

Every female employee who passed by blushed and her heart raced. After he passed by, they whispered about him in hushed tones, their eyes filled with admiration.

Chen Ningsheng ignored the female employees' stares and walked towards his office, glancing down at the newly submitted and approved proposals in his hands.

He pushed open the office door, only to see a long-haired figure standing in front of his desk.

Chen Ningsheng frowned, about to call for security, when he suddenly saw the person in front of the desk turn around.

The displeasure on his face paused for a moment, then vanished completely in the next second, replaced by a look of joy: "Baby, why did you suddenly come here? Why didn't you call me from home? I would have had the driver come and pick you up."

As he spoke, he strode into the office, embraced Xu Xinchen tightly, buried his face in her neck, and gently nuzzled her.

Xu Xinchen felt her neck itchy from his rubbing, and immediately laughed and pushed him away: "Okay, okay, how long are you going to keep rubbing me? Let go of me, my neck is so itchy."

After being pushed by her, Chen Ningsheng reluctantly let go of her arms and grumbled with dissatisfaction, "We haven't seen each other all day, what's wrong with letting me hug you?"

However, despite saying that, Chen Ningsheng did not insist on holding Xu Xinchen. Instead, he gently pulled her to his desk, pressed her into his seat, and then turned and walked out.

Xu Xinchen was stunned, staring blankly as Chen Ningsheng walked out, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes. A few minutes later, when Chen Ningsheng came back in carrying two steaming cups, Xu Xinchen chuckled softly.

Xu Xinchen stood up and quickly walked towards Chen Ningsheng, taking the cup from his hand: "Why is this all..."

Why don't you just tell me and I'll pour it out?

Chen Ningsheng raised an eyebrow: "Why do we need to distinguish between 'you' and 'me' in this kind of thing? I just did it on a whim."

As he spoke, he led Xu Xinchen back to the table: "Why did you suddenly have time to come to my company to see me today?"

It's no wonder Chen Ningsheng had this question. If you think about it carefully, Xu Xinchen should still be working at the company right now.

Xu Xinchen shrugged, a hint of resentment on her face: "Because you made a big promise yesterday, saying you'd give me a share in your own company, I was kicked out when I went to resign today. What do you say we do now?"

Chen Ningsheng's first reaction upon hearing this was anger. It was just a resignation, why should he be fired? But upon closer inspection of the barely concealed smug expression on Xu Xinchen's face, he immediately realized that Xu Xinchen was just teasing him.

He also feigned anger, saying, "So it really was my fault. I shouldn't have made such a promise, which caused my baby to lose his job. How about this, I'll take it back right away, and you can go back to work, baby?"

Xu Xinchen was dumbfounded, never expecting Chen Ningsheng to turn out like this.
