Xu Xinchen's words successfully darkened the expression on Manager Li's face, and his eyes began to show dissatisfaction as he looked at Xu Xinchen: "Ms. Lu, do you mean you're going to back out?"
Xu Xinchen raised her head, her face full of amusement: "What do you mean by 'going back on your word'? When did I ever promise Manager Li that I would do something like this? Does Manager Li even know how to use the word 'going back on your word'?"
As she spoke, Xu Xinchen said with a sneer, "If you don't know, I suggest you go back and read more books. Don't use words carelessly here. If you're not well-educated, you should keep it to yourself to avoid being laughed at by others and losing face, right?"
After being scolded by Xu Xinchen, Manager Li's face turned a deep purplish-red. He was panting heavily, and his eyes were fixed on Xu Xinchen as if he wanted to devour her.
After giving Manager Li a good scolding, Xu Xinchen finally felt that the hour or so she had wasted on this person hadn't been a complete waste.
She didn't feel she had wasted her time by scolding such a lustful person; in fact, she felt it wasn't enough. She should have scolded him sooner.
As for the anger on Manager Li's face, Xu Xinchen naturally pretended not to see it, and turned around leisurely with the folder in her hands, intending to leave directly.
Just then, seeing Xu Xinchen's actions, Manager Li suddenly took a step forward and reached out to press down on Xu Xinchen's shoulder.
Xu Xinchen was startled and immediately turned around, slamming the folder into Manager Li's hand: "Manager Li! Please..."
Have some self-respect! What are you trying to do?
The manager, Li, was furious. He got closer and closer to Xu Xinchen, raised his hand, and looked like he wanted to hit her: "You bitch, I spoke to you nicely, and you dare to talk to me like that."
Xu Xinchen was startled and looked around to see if anyone could help. But it turned out that Manager Li was doing this kind of thing all the time. As soon as he entered the coffee shop, he chose the most secluded corner.
There were two potted plants in front of them, which the coffee shop had placed there to enhance the ambiance. At the same time, not far from them was the place where the coffee shop's sound system was located, and an unknown piano piece was playing from the sound system at that moment.
The sound from the speakers completely drowned out their voices. Xu Xinchen had been speaking at a half-shout volume since earlier, so even if she shouted at the top of her lungs, the effect wouldn't be very good.
With no one around to help her, Xu Xinchen hardened her heart, raised the folder in her hand, and swung it at Manager Li. This blocked Manager Li's slap, leaving a red mark on his palm.
Seeing that Xu Xinchen dared to treat him like this, Manager Li's anger intensified. He gritted his teeth and cursed at Xu Xinchen, "You bitch, do you know who I am? If you don't make me happy today, I'm telling you, this isn't over between us!"
Xu Xinchen sneered, slid her shoulder down to break free from Manager Li's groping hand, and turned to run outside.
Just then, Xu Xinchen's long hair caused her trouble; Manager Li grabbed her.
They forcibly grabbed Xu Xinchen's hair, pulled her head back, and dragged her back.
Xu Xinchen was so angry that she gritted her teeth, wishing she could find a pair of scissors and cut off her hair right away, but there was no extra time for her to think about so many messy things.
Xu Xinchen turned around with the folder in her arms, intending to use the folder to hit Manager Li again, but at that moment, a cup of coffee, still warm, was splashed all over her face.
"ah!"
Xu Xinchen was stunned for a moment, never expecting that Manager Li would do something like this, something that only happens in melodramatic soap operas when people are fighting over a girl.
Looking at Xu Xinchen's appearance, Manager Li felt a surge of pleasure and smashed the coffee cup in his hand hard against Xu Xinchen's face. Xu Xinchen didn't have time to react, and a bloodstain appeared on her forehead.
"Miss Lu, do you understand now? If you continue to act so ungratefully, don't blame me for being impolite." Manager Li's eyes were filled with anger as he stared at Xu Xinchen.
Xu Xinchen was brought back to her senses by Manager Li's voice. A sense of panic flashed through her mind, and the spot on her forehead where she had been hit was still throbbing.
The pain reminded Xu Xinchen that she had indeed been hit by a coffee cup from Manager Li. How could such a crazy behavior happen to a manager who was in charge of business negotiations at a company?
The incredulous expression on Xu Xinchen's face seemed to please Manager Li. He pulled Xu Xinchen's hair, forcing her to get closer to him, and sneered at her.
"Don't think too much about it. Let me tell you, even if I kill you here today, I'll find a way to get back at you later."
The company told me, "You only have two choices now: either obey me and make me happy, or I'll kill you right here."
Xu Xinchen gritted her teeth and angrily shouted at Manager Li, "Most people in our company know that I came to your company today to discuss business with you. Aren't you afraid the police will come after you for doing this?"
Manager Li sneered a few times: "Do you think I do this without anyone protecting me? I'm warning you, if you don't want to die, you'd better listen to me."
The reason why Manager Li was so confident was because she was the brother-in-law of the company's boss, and she also had a tiny bit of a connection with some shady forces here.
With this advantage, he could kill Xu Xinchen and then fake her disappearance. He could simply find a woman to impersonate Xu Xinchen and have her walk out of their company to provide proof.
Arrange for another witness to prove that Xu Xinchen did indeed disappear after leaving the company, so that he can be completely cleared of suspicion.
Because he knows a lot of people, this kind of thing is nothing to Manager Li, which is why he is so confident.
Xu Xinchen gritted her teeth, desperately telling herself to stay calm, to think carefully about whether there was any way to save herself. She absolutely couldn't let the person in front of her lead her astray, otherwise she would truly have no chance of turning the tide.
