As the driver pondered this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Chen Ningsheng and Xu Xinchen. Just as they got into the car, he heard the driver let out a meaningful sigh: "Sigh..."
“…”
“…”
Xu Xinchen reached out and nudged Chen Ningsheng's stomach: "Did you mistreat Uncle Ma?"
The driver's surname is Ma. He has been with Chen Ningsheng for so long and has always been very law-abiding and has done his job very well. He has also taken good care of Chen Ningsheng. Therefore, Xu Xinchen has always called him Uncle Ma.
Chen Ningsheng looked bewildered: "No, I just got here like you."
Xu Xinchen glared at Chen Ningsheng playfully: "You don't care about your subordinates at all. You're such a derelict boss."
Chen Ningsheng protested his innocence, saying, "I've always taken good care of them at work, and I shouldn't interfere in their private affairs."
Moreover, before meeting Xu Xinchen, Chen Ningsheng was a rather cold person. He didn't care about the private lives of his subordinates, and he would scold them for even the slightest mistake at work. It was only after meeting Xu Xinchen that his temper improved.
Xu Xinchen sighed softly, mimicking the driver, "Forget it, it's no use asking you anyway, I'll just go ask Uncle Ma."
The two stood by the car and talked for a long time, but because they were speaking in hushed tones, the driver didn't hear what they were saying.
Rong didn't urge them either, and even looked at the two of them with a smile in her eyes, which made Xu Xinchen even more puzzled.
After getting into the car and fastening her seatbelt, Xu Xinchen asked, "Uncle Ma, I heard you sigh just now. What's wrong? Did you run into some trouble?"
The driver was taken aback. Had he just sighed? How come he didn't know? But since Xu Xinchen had asked, even if the driver didn't know, he had to explain.
"No, Miss Xu, you're probably just thinking about some things and feeling a little troubled. It's nothing serious, so don't worry about it."
Xu Xinchen carefully observed the driver and, seeing that he spoke frankly and honestly, not at all like he was lying, she felt relieved: "That's good. If anything happens, please remember to tell us. We may not be able to help you with big things, but we will try our best to help you with small things."
Xu Xinchen had heard Chen Ningsheng mention before that the driver was very kind to him. Several times, when Chen Ningsheng was so busy that he forgot to eat, the driver would quietly bring him some food so that he could eat in the car. Although these things were small, they were the driver's good intentions. Xu Xinchen remembered this kindness and wanted to repay it whenever she had the chance.
Interpersonal relationships are reciprocal. The driver is kind to Chen Ningsheng, but Chen Ningsheng is too busy to notice. So naturally, she should be kind to the driver in return, so that the driver will take better care of Chen Ningsheng in the future.
Chen Ningsheng clearly understood what Xu Xinchen was thinking. He took Xu Xinchen's hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it gently, covering up his excitement and letting the intense emotions surging in his eyes slowly calm down.
After calming himself down, Chen Ningsheng said, "Yes, Uncle Ma, if you have any trouble, you can tell me, and I will try my best to help you solve it."
Driver Uncle Ma's hand trembled as he gripped the steering wheel, his eyes brimming with excitement. No matter what, he was already very happy to receive those words from Chen Ningsheng.
"I understand, thank you, young master. Nothing really happened. If anything did, I certainly wouldn't hold back."
Chen Ningsheng and Xu Xinchen were relieved when the driver repeatedly assured them that nothing had happened. They nodded to the driver in unison, and Xu Xinchen smiled and said, "Let's go back then."
"Okay." The driver's voice trembled slightly. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then turned the steering wheel and the car slowly drove off.
When Chen Ningsheng came to pick her up, she focused all her attention on him. But when she heard the driver sigh, she shifted her attention to him.
Therefore, Xu Xinchen did not notice at all that from the moment she stepped out of the office, a figure had been quietly following her from behind. When he saw Chen Ningsheng come to pick her up, a look of amazement flashed in that person's eyes.
Once she and Chen Ningsheng got into the car, besides being amazed, a hint of jealousy and a determination to win her over quietly ignited in the man's eyes.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Xinchen has been working at this company for a month. To Xu Xinchen's surprise, during this nearly one month, Lin Lina, who disliked her, has completely changed her attitude from being confrontational with her at the beginning and has not bothered her at all.
For a while, Lin Bingchun was particularly worried, wondering if Lin Lina was holding back some big move. She was always on edge, and would look in Lin Lina's direction whenever Lin Lina made a sound.
On one occasion, Lin Lina must have encountered something; she suddenly stood up while sitting down, her nerves on edge.
Lin Bingchun suddenly shouted, "Lin Lina, what are you trying to do now?"
Lin Lina turned her head and looked at Lin Bingchun with a puzzled expression: "What I want to do is none of your business. Who do you think you are? Do I have to report to you if I get up?"
Lin Bingchun's face showed dismay. Lin Lina's past offenses had made her somewhat paranoid, which was why she subconsciously called out when Lin Lina got up. Now that Lin Lina hadn't done anything, she was the one in an awkward position.
Xu Xinchen frowned slightly, disapproving of Lin Lina's stubbornness in clinging to her past mistakes: "Lin Lina, you know perfectly well what you've done in the past, don't blame Bingchun for being so agitated."
Lin Lina sneered, "Don't think too highly of yourselves. You two are trash and don't deserve my attention."
After saying that, Lin Lina strode out like a proud peacock, leaving Lin Bingchun sitting in her seat, her eyes red with anger, lost in thought. Xu Xinchen comforted her for a few moments, which calmed her down.
It was payday. When Xu Xinchen arrived at the office, the same people she had seen every morning for the past month were there. Xu Xinchen subconsciously checked the time and found that she was actually fifteen minutes early.
"What a coincidence?" Xu Xinchen raised an eyebrow, a smile flashing in her eyes. As she greeted the people in the office, she indeed heard that someone had discovered this matter.
“Lu Minshi, you arrived fifteen minutes early today too. Do you have a particularly strong sense of time? Like, once you set a time for yourself, you can’t be a minute late or a minute early.”
Xu Xinchen looked up and saw that the person was one of the boys who had made fun of Lin Lina yesterday. Xu Xinchen couldn't help but...
She smiled, her eyes crinkling: "No, it's all a coincidence. When I left home, I only knew not to be late; I didn't specifically time it."
