After listening to the team leader's words, Li Ping'an's face turned extremely pale. She lowered her head timidly.
Logically speaking, given that she grew up in a loving environment, she shouldn't have this kind of personality. But precisely because of her environment, everyone around her knows she's an adopted daughter, and many openly or subtly criticize her.
However, the fact that his adoptive parents couldn't have children gave Li Pingan a sense of fortunate happiness.
When she brought her grandmother home, the criticism increased. Many said she was going to be abandoned.
Her family isn't a prominent, established family. They can't compare to truly wealthy families.
She tried to find a job and work hard to make herself stronger. But unexpectedly, her first thought was still to ask Xi Xinxin for help.
Thinking of this, Li Ping'an felt even more determined not to hold Xi Xinxin back. She straightened her back and questioned, "The erroneous document you sent isn't even made! I have my own original materials!"
To adapt to her job as quickly as possible, Li Ping'an memorized everything she did, along with some backup materials. This gave her the confidence to confront her team leader.
The team leader angrily slammed the door shut: "All the previous data has been deleted. Who knows if what you gave me is fake? Get out of here."
"What? You're not even going to talk business anymore?" Xi Xinxin found the team leader's attitude increasingly strange.
Then the assistant came out and said that the team leader hoped Xi Xinxin would come alone next time. After all, personal feelings shouldn't be brought into work.
Xi Xinxin and the other two had no choice but to go back first. Just as they entered the office, they ran into a man. It was the same man who had harassed Li Ping'an and offered to introduce him to a job.
He acted as if nothing had happened and greeted Li Pingan and Xiao Ai with a cheerful smile.
Xiao Ai secretly spat, "How dare he greet us?"
After they passed each other, a senior colleague came out. She glanced at Li Ping'an and asked, "Do you know him?"
"I wouldn't say we know each other."
The senior colleague seemed puzzled by something: "Then you shouldn't have been fired. Besides, I think you're quite capable at work."
Xi Xinxin asked, "Why did you say that?"
"Because the team leader is that person's uncle, and they have a very good relationship. He often comes to see the team leader. But when he comes to see the team leader, Ping An and you guys are probably all busy and may not know."
After the senior finished speaking, Xiao Ai was already furious: "An'an! It must be him! That team leader used connections and then criticized you. That's too much!"
Xi Xinxin glanced at Xiao Ai thoughtfully and said, "Let's go out first."
Back in the room, Zhang Suxiang asked Xi Xinxin if she knew why, and Xi Xinxin said she already knew half of it.
"Let's go buy some equipment tomorrow. We can bring it back with us."
Zhang Suxiang asked in confusion, "Teacher, you're not going to get involved in Li Ping'an's affairs anymore?"
"The team leader is getting anxious. It's definitely related to the team leader. So I just need to wait. Of course, Li Ping'an will go with us to buy equipment tomorrow."
On the other side, Chu Quanyi was still working with Mei Qing on their beach viewing strategy.
Xi Xinxin brought Li Pingan along simply so she could ask him about his new job and distract him.
After choosing their equipment, they passed by that company. There, Xi Xinxin saw something unexpected.
Xiao Ai was seen talking to the man.
Li Pingan said in disbelief, "Xin Xin, didn't she say she had no contact with me? How could she do this to me?"
After hearing the introduction, Zhang Suxiang felt it was only natural: "Teacher, you see, I told you so. Does that count as me winning?"
Xi Xinxin really wanted to crack open their heads to see what was inside. You didn't even hear what they were saying before you started condemning them. That's a big no-no!
However, seeing Li Ping'an's distraught appearance, Xi Xinxin had a new idea: "Didn't the team leader say that we could still discuss business today? Let's put the equipment in the room. Ping'an, you can stay with me."
Xi Xinxin doesn't have precognitive abilities. But she has intuition. She's sure she can see something very dramatic.
They arrived at the company again. Xi Xinxin wanted to go in and talk first, so she asked Li Pingan to wait outside the office.
Xiao Ai rushed over hurriedly, clutching the documents and head down, without noticing Li Ping'an standing right in front of her. They bumped into each other.
The documents were scattered on the floor. Li Pingan helped pick them up, but froze after taking them. Wasn't this the report her team leader had sent her, telling her she had made a mistake?
Her hands trembled as she recalled the scene from just moments ago: "Xiao Ai. You."
Xiao Ai realized what was happening and frantically waved her hands: "No! Let me explain!"
"I won't listen, I won't listen!" Then Li Pingan ran away.
Seeing Li Pingan run away, Xiao Ai didn't try to stop him but instead slumped to the ground, muttering to herself, "Is this how things are going to end?"
What a dramatic scene! Xi Xinxin shouted "Cut!" and pulled Xiao Ai up from the ground.
No matter how the butterfly effect changes, it cannot alter the fact that these people have no mouths at all.
Picking up the documents, Xi Xinxin felt there was no need to pretend to be discussing business anymore: "Let's go. Come with me to the corridor to talk."
The team leader was extremely anxious in his room. He figured the business deal the Xi family's daughter wanted to discuss must be very large. He was certain he had turned down a substantial sum of money yesterday.
I hope she comes today; he'll apologize properly. It's all that brat's fault!
In the hallway, Xi Xinxin told Xiao Ai what she and Li Pingan had seen: "So what were you talking about with him back then?"
"So that's why An'an misunderstood me. I can explain."
"Mmm! Explain!"
"I never cooperated with him at all; it's all a misunderstanding!"
"Mmm. Explain it."
“An’an has really misunderstood me. She should listen to my explanation.”
Xi Xinxin pinched Xiao Ai's mouth shut with two fingers. The scene was somewhat comical: "Well, then, give me an explanation."
Xiao Ai finally got to the point. Yesterday, she suspected that the guy was behind it all. So she asked him out to try and stop him from doing that.
The man even admitted it. He shamelessly said he was going to do it anyway, and that if anyone found out, since the team leader was his uncle, he'd fire her too.
Xiao Ai was furious; who wanted to stay here? She planned to write her resignation letter and leave today. But she didn't expect to...
The erroneous documents were on her desk. She was very flustered and wanted to ask what had happened.
I never expected to run into Li Pingan like that.
At this point, Xiao Ai looked sad and said, "Could you help me explain to An An?"
Xi Xinxin exclaimed, "What's there to explain? Ping An was eavesdropping right there."
Li Ping'an knew he had been discovered. He hadn't actually gone far. After thinking it over, he returned. He also heard what had happened.
Touched, she stepped forward and exclaimed, "Xiao Ai!"
"An'an!"
Xi Xinxin: "..." I really want to drag the two of them out and chop them up.
(Host, you can't do that. Even in the virtual world, you'll go to jail.)
"What? You're not saying anything when Chu Quanyi is here. You only speak up when he's not, is that it? A cowardly system afraid of the boss?"
The system emitted a buzzing electronic sound to express its dissatisfaction.
Xiao Ai has made up her mind: "I'm quitting too!"
Before Ping An could even stop them, Xi Xinxin stepped in: "This is, after all, a company my father founded. I don't want people like this around. Don't worry, I'll handle it."
Make a phone call.
Xiao Ai's eyes lit up. She was waiting for Xi Xinxin to call her parents, really curious about what she would say.
The call was answered. A female voice came from the other end: "Xinxin?"
"DaiDai! It's time for you to show your ruthlessness in firing people!"
Xiao Ai gave a thumbs up, saying that she had hit the mark perfectly.
The team leader didn't get any business; instead, he was fired. After packing his things and going home, he took a drag of his cigarette and said to the cowering man in front of him, "Why didn't you tell me she was from the Li family? Or that her friend was from the Xi family? I've been terrified ever since I found out she was a friend of the Xi family. Now look what's happened. I've lost my job."
The man took a few steps back: "I'm sorry, Uncle. I just wanted to pursue her. I wanted her to give up and come to my company. I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
The man's parents also tried to persuade him, saying, "Oh, forget it. He's just a kid. He can always find another job!"
"Are you going to introduce me to someone?" The man, who was no longer the team leader, slammed his fist on the table. "What bad luck."
Li Pingan returned to his post and reunited with Xiao Ai.
The beach trip was also put on the agenda. When Xi Xinxin returned to her room, she found all three of them there.
Zhang Suxiang asked impatiently, "Teacher, who won in the end, you or me?"
"Your teacher has never lost a competition."
She recounted the details again. Xi Xinxin added, "Since I am your teacher, I hope you won't treat others with subconscious prejudice."
Whether in stories or in reality, what lies beneath the surface of ordinary fantasy is often a kind of distorted thinking, a dirty facade.
He accepted his loss as he made the bet. Zhang Suxiang then recounted his life story.
Her family was actually quite poor. Her childhood sweetheart, with whom she had grown up, passed away due to an illness.
It is actually treatable. But I couldn't borrow money from anyone, not even from here or there.
At that time, Zhang Suxiang was determined to study medicine. But actually, she had a somewhat strange personality since childhood. Not many people wanted to play with her.
Adding to her woes was the death of her childhood sweetheart. Her parents didn't particularly like her. She had many unresolved problems, so she started experimenting on her own.
Going out to collect trash is a minor issue; the older she gets, the more her parents dislike her. Plus, her eccentric temperament means no one wants to be her friend.
There used to be. But she was betrayed along the way. More and more people mocked her strangeness.
They didn't actually hit her, but the words alone were enough to make her feel suffocated.
Zhang Suxiang said, "I had already left my hometown, but I never expected that the job I was looking for would be as a lawyer. I am very grateful to you, teacher, for bringing me back."
Xi Xinxin said modestly, "No, no, it's just that you happened to come to me."
"I've always thought that people don't really need to communicate, and that making friends is unimportant. But these past few days I've realized I might be wrong."
Chu Quanyi whispered to Mei Qing next to her, "Then we should start singing, 'Friendship is magic~'"
Xi Xinxin flicked Chu Quanyi's forehead: "Stop talking nonsense."
"Alright, everyone, take a break and let's go see the sea tomorrow."
Everyone raised their hands and shouted "Yay!" Zhang Su felt a long-lost sense of exhilaration. It was strange, considering he didn't really like going out with anyone.
Zhang Suxiang couldn't sleep that night; she couldn't quite describe her feelings. Perhaps it was anticipation. She softly called out, "Teacher?"
Xi Xinxin wasn't asleep either. She turned over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just have some trouble sleeping."
Xi Xinxin sat up and put on her coat. Zhang Suxiang, noticing Xi Xinxin's actions, asked in confusion, "Teacher?"
"Let's go to Chu Quanyi's room and scare her." Xi Xinxin stuck out her tongue: "Come on!"
"Wouldn't that be a bad idea?" Zhang Suxiang was conflicted.
(This system is also involved!)
Xi Xinxin stopped what she was doing after hearing Zhang Suxiang's words. Just as Zhang Suxiang thought that Xi Xinxin had a change of heart, Xi Xinxin spoke up: "That's right, what if it scares Mei Qing? I'll send her a message."
Mei Qing hadn't slept either. Upon receiving the message, she laughed so hard her shoulders trembled, and replied that she would definitely cooperate.
"System, do you have any solutions?"
(Watching you guys mess with the boss)
...Useless thing!
Xi Xinxin could only rely on herself. She sneaked to the door next door, knocked, and then quickly returned to her room.
Chu Quanyi rubbed his eyes: "Who is it? Let me open the door and see."
There was no one outside the door. Chu Quanyi thought it was her imagination: "Qingqing, did someone knock on the door just now?"
Mei Qing pretended not to know: "Isn't there a doorbell? It shouldn't be a knock."
Chu Quanyi went back to bed. Just then, the doorbell rang. She got up and looked through the peephole, but there was still no one outside. She suspected it was Xi Xinxin's doing, though that was probably true.
Chu Quanyi then came out and rang the doorbell. Zhang Suxiang came out and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Did Xi Xinxin just sneak in and knock on the door and ring the doorbell?"
"No, the teacher is already asleep."
In Chu Quanyi's impression, someone as serious as Zhang Suxiang wouldn't help Xi Xinxin tell such a lie.
Chu Quanyi was completely confused, thinking she was still half asleep, but she closed the door and waited through the peephole to see who was playing a prank.
Xi Xinxin bent down and pressed the doorbell, then immediately turned and went back to her room. Just then, Chu Quanyi opened the door and knocked on it again.
"Is Xi Xinxin asleep?"
“Yes, the teacher is asleep,” Zhang Suxiang replied.
Mei Qing also arrived. She tugged at Chu Quanyi's sleeve and said, "Let's go back to our room."
But before Mei Qing's chat page was completely put back in her pocket, Chu Quanyi saw it clearly: the contact name was Xin Xin.
Chu Quanyi put her hands on her hips and said, "In that case, I need to come and check it out."
Zhang Suxiang couldn't stop her. She definitely let Chu Quanyi into the room. She could even hear Xi Xinxin's even breathing as she leaned closer.
"You acted very well," Chu Quanyi said, tapping her face. "Now that you're awake, I'll teach Zhang Suxiang for ten days."
Then Chu Quanyi's hand was tightly grasped, and Xi Xinxin smiled brightly: "Thank you so much, Teacher Chu. Zhang Suxiang will be relying on you for the next few days. Helping others brings happiness to oneself!"
Chu Quanyi regretted it. Why did she have to use such a statement to force Xi Xinxin to open her eyes? She could have just tickled her instead.
