Lin Lina was quite stubborn. She wouldn't speak unless Wu Jiayi asked, even if Wu Jiayi's stare made her feel uneasy.
Watching the interaction between Wu Jiayi and Lin Lina, Xu Xinchen became even more certain of her suspicions: Lin Lina was definitely up to something!
Thinking that Lin Lina had been behaving herself for the past month, she thought she had turned over a new leaf. But now she had started again. She wanted to see what Lin Lina was up to.
On the other side, Wu Jiayi stopped pressing Lin Lina for answers when she saw that Lin Lina wouldn't say anything. Although she looked down on Lin Lina, she could tolerate her as long as Lin Lina didn't cause her any trouble.
"Alright, everyone look over here. Is everyone here?" Wu Jiayi clapped her hands, signaling everyone in the office to look at her.
The people in the office looked at each other. Except for Lin Bingchun, every seat was occupied. Xu Xinchen immediately explained, "Bingchun just took a bag of trash out. She should be back soon."
Wu Jiayi nodded: "Losing one person isn't a big problem. Tell her after I'm done talking."
Just as Wu Jiayi was about to reveal the purpose of her visit to the office, Lin Bingchun quietly slipped in: "Manager, I'm here."
Wu Jiayi's words were stuck in her throat. She glared at Lin Bingchun with annoyance: "Sitting down now that you're here, take notes of what I said."
Xu Xinchen grabbed the paper and pen that were placed next to her and quickly wrote down what Wu Jiayi had said.
In summary, the boss wants to work with a very difficult major client and asked the sales department to provide a table listing the requirements of various difficult clients they've encountered, so that the planning department can have a better understanding of the situation.
Xu Xinchen was stunned when she heard this. What kind of request was this? Having lived two lives, this was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing.
As expected, Xu Xinchen wasn't the only one shocked. Wu Jiayi had barely finished speaking when someone immediately cried out in distress, "Manager, what is this...?" That person didn't dare to say the word "crazy," after all, it was the boss's request.
After thinking for a while, I could only awkwardly change my answer to: "Why would there be such a special request? Everyone's ideas are different. If we provide other people's ideas, they will be different from that client's. It would be useless to submit them."
Although the person didn't explicitly say the word "crazy," Wu Jiayi miraculously sensed it. She sighed softly, and a rare hint of melancholy appeared on her perpetually icy face: "I know this is useless, but the higher-ups want to gather ideas from all sides and strive for perfection so that the clients can't find any fault with it. What can I do but do it honestly?"
One cry of pain followed another. Xu Xinchen touched his nose. Sure enough, the client's mindset is to take pleasure in exploiting the contractor. The current boss is the evil client who exploits poor contractors like them!
Wu Jiayi, having worked her way up from a regular sales employee, felt sorry for everyone and offered words of comfort: "Just do your best. The boss doesn't do this kind of thing often. Consider this a chance to hone your skills."
After Wu Jiayi left, more than half of the people in the office slumped onto their desks, their faces filled with despair: "Is the heavens going to kill me? Isn't the sales department supposed to just talk a lot? Why do we have to do things that the market research department should be doing?"
Xu Xinchen turned her head and saw that the person who spoke was a boy sitting near her. She sighed softly, took out a tissue and handed it to him: "Well, that's what happens when we're the ones who directly deal with customers. Good luck."
Despite complaining, Xu Xinchen still had to do the task. She glanced at the document, then pushed it aside and picked up a piece of paper to think about the characteristics of the clients she had recently been in contact with.
Lin Bingchun pushed her chair next to Xu Xinchen: "Min Shi, I don't dare to say bad things about the boss at the company, but I really want to."
Xu Xinchen smiled and patted Lin Bingchun's head: "Good girl, think about the company's other rules. They're much better than other companies, right? Let's try our best to solve this little problem."
Suddenly given this task, Xu Xinchen didn't finish her work by the time she left work. When the clock struck midnight, Xu Xinchen looked at the quarter of the work still unfinished, stood up, and sighed softly. "Oh well, I'll deal with it tomorrow."
After putting the documents away, Xu Xinchen picked up her bag and walked out of the office. Everyone else had already left; Xu Xinchen was the last one. She turned off the office lights and slowly walked out.
Chen Ningsheng didn't come to pick her up today because she wanted to buy him a gift before going home—it was a surprise, and she didn't want him to come with her.
As she walked out and faced the empty street, Xu Xinchen felt a little uneasy. Chen Ningsheng had been picking her up for over a month, and her absence today made her feel uncomfortable.
Xu Xinchen glanced at the passing vehicles and pedestrians, then slowly moved towards the other side of the street. Lost in her own thoughts, Xu Xinchen didn't notice that behind her, someone was secretly laughing.
After Xu Xinchen disappeared, the person hiding in the shadows finally came out, and it was none other than Lin Lina!
Lin Lina squinted at the spot where Xu Xinchen had disappeared, a malicious smile playing on her lips: "He didn't come today, did they have a fight?"
This speculation seemed to lift Lin Lina's spirits. She turned around, hummed a song softly, and walked back into the company.
At the company's main entrance, a man in his fifties glanced at Lin Lina with a cold expression: "Ms. Lin, why are you coming back to the company so late?"
Lin Lina was arrogant and always looked down on the security guards, which made the guard impatient whenever he saw her. He wished she would leave as soon as possible and not appear in front of them anymore.
Lin Lina frowned as the security guard spoke to her, her voice filled with disgust: "I have things I haven't finished! So what, is it any of your business!"
Seeing Lin Lina's appalling attitude, the security guard got angry and snorted coldly, letting Lin Lina go up. But behind Lin Lina's back, he said sarcastically, "She really thinks she's so great!"
Hearing the security guard's words, Lin Lina turned around angrily and cursed, "At least I live a better life than you, a mere gatekeeper! That's all you'll ever be!"
Seeing the security guard trembling with rage, Lin Lina smiled maliciously: "What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong? He's just a gatekeeper, trying to turn things around? Dream on!"
