Chapter 267

Xu Xinchen initially thought it was something serious, but upon hearing that it involved another beautiful woman, she immediately understood what this woman was thinking. It turned out she was using her and Chen Ningsheng as gossip subjects.

Thinking of this, Xu Xinchen coughed lightly and gently asked her, "So what do you think is strange about me?"

The woman seemed a little excited: "I've seen you before when you worked at the company. I thought you were so gentle, but that woman who just came in looks like she's not someone to mess with. I'm a little curious about you."

Xu Xinchen was momentarily speechless, realizing that the reason she had been staring at her was because of this woman. However, the woman's words did make her wary.

When the woman in front of her just said that a beautiful woman was going to see Chen Ningsheng, she thought it was a business partner or something like that. But now, listening to what the woman in front of her said, it seems that the person who went to see Chen Ningsheng was not a business partner with a simple purpose.

The elevator quickly reached the bottom floor, and the doors slowly opened, revealing several employees chatting animatedly. When they saw Xu Xinchen inside, they all fell silent.

The smiles on everyone's faces became somewhat awkward, and their gazes towards Xu Xinchen became very strange. Finally, an employee who had spoken to Xu Xinchen a few times before awkwardly spoke up.

"Min, Min Shi, are you here to see the president?"

Xu Xinchen turned her head and glanced at the somewhat familiar employee, her expression calm: "Yes, I did come to the company to see him. Why are you all standing outside? Hurry up and come in, the elevator doors are about to close again."

The employee looked extremely embarrassed. After being invited in by Xu Xinchen, he felt awkward whether to come in or not. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and drag the people standing next to him into the elevator.

The people who came in late had already shrunk to the very corner of the elevator, especially those who had never spoken to Xu Xinchen and had no interaction with her at all.

As soon as they entered the elevator, they hid in the corner, their eyes fixed on the elevator floor. They didn't even dare to press any of the elevator buttons, each one as quiet as the last.

Seeing this, Xu Xinchen could only sigh helplessly and took the initiative to ask, "Which floor are you going to?"

The employee who had just greeted Xingchen saw Xu Xinchen ask this question and his eyes lit up. He quickly gave a number and then shrank into a corner.

Xu Xinchen quickly pressed three buttons on the elevator: one for the floor the employees were going to, one for her own floor, and one for the floor the woman had just been going to.

Although the woman had just pressed 3, Xu Xinchen had to press it twice to cancel because he had a question for her.

Seeing these employees hiding in the corner, but unable to hide their excitement and eagerness, Xu Xinchen could only sigh and take the initiative to ask.

"Did you also see a beautiful woman going to see your CEO, just like she did?" Xu Xinchen said, pointing to the woman who had been in the elevator from the beginning.

The newcomers hesitated for a moment after hearing Xu Xinchen's question, then nodded. They had been discussing this very issue outside the elevator, which was why they had been so engrossed in it.

When the elevator doors opened and they saw Xu Xinchen standing inside, the reason they were so embarrassed and quickly fell silent was because they thought Xu Xinchen had heard what they were saying.

Xu Xinchen felt quite helpless. It was just a normal relationship, yet it attracted so much attention. She felt that she was not much different from her past self.

The employee who had taken the initiative to greet Xu Xingchen became bolder when she saw that Xu Xinchen didn't seem to care about their previous discussion at all.

"Min Shi, do you know who that woman who just went to see the president is?"

Xu Xinchen gently shook her head: "I don't know, I just arrived at the company."

Xu Xinchen hadn't even seen what that person looked like, so how could she possibly know who that person came from?

The employee seemed somewhat disappointed upon hearing Xu Xinchen's answer, but at the same time, someone nearby expressed doubt.

"But when we pressed the elevator button just now, we saw that the elevator came down from the top floor. If you just arrived at the company, then why were you in the elevator?"

Xu Xinchen pursed her lips and pointed to the spot where the first woman had been standing. The woman had already left because they had reached the correct floor.

"Just now, it was because that woman kept staring at me. I didn't understand what she wanted to do, so I spent a little time with her in the elevator. Before that, I had been staying in the elevator since I entered the company, and I hadn't even gone out."

Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's answer, the employees seemed to believe it as well: "Oh, so that's how it is."

Meanwhile, some people began to worry about Xu Xinchen: "Min Shi, you might not like what I'm about to say, but I think I still have to remind you, that woman who just came to see the president looked quite alluring, and her outfit was particularly...trendy..."

As soon as the word "trendy" was uttered, someone nearby immediately snorted, expressing their disdain: "What do you mean 'trendy'? She's just shameless. She dresses like a vixen. You can tell at a glance that she's not a decent person. She's just here to seduce men."

"So what does that woman look like? Why do so many of you find her so repulsive?" Xu Xinchen asked before anyone else could speak.

The employee who had been asked a question by Xu Xinchen seemed to recall something, and his expression became even more disdainful.

The more Xu Xinchen listened to them talk, the more curious she became. When the group of employees reached their floor, Xu Xinchen stopped going up and followed them out.

Seeing this, the employees understood what Xu Xinchen was thinking. After letting out a soft sigh, they began to eagerly explain to Xu Xinchen what they had just seen.
