Even including her and Wu Jiayi, who had just joined the company, there were only four girls in the entire sales department of more than a dozen people.
Wu Jiayi led Xu Xinchen into the sales department, clapped her hands together, and said in a loud voice, "Put down your work and come over here. I'll introduce you to a new colleague."
The people in the sales department had already turned their attention to Wu Jiayi and Xu Xinchen the moment Wu Jiayi pushed open the glass door. Now that Wu Jiayi was offering to introduce them to her new colleague, no one was going to be so tactless.
Almost everyone gathered around. Wu Jiayi smiled at them and pushed Xu Xinchen in front of her: "This is our new colleague in the sales department today, Lu Minshi. Minshi, please say hello to everyone."
Xu Xinchen smiled gently and said gracefully, "Hello everyone, my name is Lu Minshi. Please take good care of me."
The people in the sales department all smiled warmly and began to introduce themselves to Xu Xinchen. It took Xu Xinchen about ten minutes to finally get to know everyone.
After Wu Jiayi saw that everyone had been identified, she immediately said to Xu Xinchen, "Your seat is over there."
Xu Xinchen looked in the direction Wu Jiayi pointed. That spot was near one of the two girls. Xu Xinchen remembered that girl; her name seemed to be Lin Lina.
Sure enough, the girl named Lin Lina came out with a bright smile and said to Xu Xinchen, "Hello, we'll be sitting next to each other from now on, so be sure to get along well."
Xu Xinchen pursed her lips slightly, a small smile appearing on her face, and nodded to Lin Lina: "Please take good care of me in the future."
After exchanging pleasantries, Wu Jiayi pushed Xu Xinchen forward and said to the sales department staff, "Alright, now that we've all met our new colleagues, everyone should get back to what they're doing and stop standing around." The sales department staff scattered in a flurry.
At this moment, Wu Jiayi suddenly called out to Lin Lina: "Lin Lina, you and Min Shi are sitting next to each other. Remember to take good care of Min Shi. She has just joined the company and is not familiar with most of the things in the company. If there is anything she doesn't understand, remember to help her."
Lin Lina suddenly stopped walking, turned around, and said to Wu Jiayi with a bright smile, "Don't worry, supervisor, I know. I will definitely take good care of my new colleague. You don't need to worry."
Wu Jiayi smiled with satisfaction after receiving Lin Lina's reply. She then gently patted Xu Xinchen's shoulder and said, "Alright, let's go now. If you don't understand anything, remember to ask Lin Lina. She'll tell you everything."
Xu Xinchen nodded gently and said sincerely to Wu Jiayi, "I understand, thank you, supervisor." After saying that, Xu Xinchen took the things in Wu Jiayi's hands and walked to the table next to Lin Lina.
Wu Jiayi watched as Xu Xinchen sat down in her seat before turning around and leaving the sales department with a sense of relief. Her office was next to the sales department, but not in the same place. Therefore, as soon as Wu Jiayi left, the entire sales department began their celebration.
Many people brought over various snacks and treats from their tables and offered them to Xu Xinchen, saying all sorts of comforting words to her.
Xu Xinchen accepted the items from them one by one, both amused and exasperated, and expressed her gratitude to each of them. After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Xinchen checked her watch and realized that almost half an hour had passed.
Among this group of people, there was one person who hadn't spoken a word—Lin Lina, who sat at the next table to Xu Xinchen. Lin Lina waited until everyone else from the sales department had left before approaching Xu Xinchen and starting to talk to her.
She truly lived up to her name; she was incredibly quick-witted. She had only been sitting down for a short while when she started chatting with Xu Xinchen. Xu Xinchen was completely outmaneuvered by Lin Lina's words and almost couldn't keep up with her sharp tongue.
Lin Lina also changed her lively and cheerful demeanor from when she was in front of Wu Jiayi. She spoke in a somewhat aggressive manner, which made Xu Xinchen feel very disgusted.
"Lu Minshi, you're so pretty, why did you choose to work at this company?" Lin Lina asked with an innocent expression, blinking her big eyes at Xu Xinchen.
Xu Xinchen forced a smile. She didn't want to talk to Lin Lina, but it was her first day at work, and she didn't want to offend her colleague. So she looked at Lin Lina and said, "Why can't I come to work at the company? Being pretty doesn't put food on the table."
"But look at how good-looking you are. Even if you were to find a job, you should be a secretary or something. Why would you be so foolish as to come to the sales department?" Lin Lina's eyes flickered, and her tone sounded sarcastic.
"The sales department is where you have to brave the wind and rain every day to run around and sign contracts. This is something only kids like us who have suffered since childhood can do. I bet you, with your delicate skin, won't be used to it."
Xu Xinchen's smile vanished, and she gave Lin Lina a fierce look. This look made Lin Lina's heart skip a beat, and she took a few steps back.
When Xu Xinchen saw the panicked look on Lin Lina's face, he immediately smiled and said to Lin Lina, "Don't think of me as too pampered. I used to work in sales, so I'm quite familiar with this industry."
Lin Lina was startled by Xu Xinchen's fierce gaze just now, but seeing Xu Xinchen say that she was used to this line of work, she didn't say anything more.
She could only manage an awkward smile and say, "Oh, that's wonderful." After saying that, Lin Lina stepped back and shrank behind her desk, burying her head in her work as if she were working diligently.
Not far from Xu Xinchen, another girl from the sales department chuckled softly and said in a disdainful voice, "All you ever think about is bullying newbies. Now look what happened, you've met your match. You deserve it."
Xu Xinchen lowered his head, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. It seemed that the only truly good people in this company were the boss and his wife; there was quite a bit of shady dealing among the colleagues.
Regardless of what Xu Xinchen was thinking, since the work had begun, she should be serious and responsible. Xu Xinchen lowered her head, took out the documents assigned to her, and began to read them carefully. She sat there for the entire morning, and soon it was time for lunch.
