Lin Bingchun was so startled by the shout that she trembled. When she turned around, she found Li Xueyan looking at her with an extremely ferocious and terrifying expression.
She frowned, a hint of anger flashing across her composed demeanor: "What I say is none of your business! The office is a public place, what are you shouting for!"
Ignoring Lin Bingchun, Li Xueyan glared angrily at Xu Xinchen: "Lu Minshi! You're resigning?!"
Xu Xinchen looked up coldly, almost forgetting that there was someone here who wanted her to continue working here. Unfortunately, this person had no good intentions.
Thinking about why Li Xueyan had appeared in front of her, Xu Xinchen's eyes were filled with disgust: "What business is it of yours whether I resign or not?"
Li Xueyan was furious. How could this not be her business? She only came to work for this lousy company that couldn't even get into a top-tier company because of Lu Minshi, but now the person who forced her to compromise was leaving.
She'd only been here a day! She'd prepared a ton of plans, but hadn't even had a chance to implement any of them, and Lu Minshi was already leaving? How could she possibly accept that!
Unable to accept this sudden blow, Li Xueyan slammed her bag down on her seat. She strode over to Xu Yima, grabbed the resignation letter Xu Xinchen was writing halfway through, and tore it in two with a tear: "Who told you to resign? You're not allowed to resign!"
Xu Xinchen looked at Li Xueyan with an incredulous expression, finding the woman utterly baffling. She wanted to...
Why should I quit my job? What does this woman have to do with it? Why should I quit just because this woman says I can't?
Li Xueyan wasn't unaware of the disdain in Xu Xinchen's eyes, but she was blinded by anger and had no time to consider how her actions might appear to others, or how abnormal they might seem.
She simply reached out and grabbed Xu Xinchen's wrist tightly, forcibly pulling Xu Xinchen up from her seat, and said in a very harsh tone: "Lu Minshi, you're just a peasant who can't do anything. If you leave this company, you won't find a good place to go. Stay and continue working!"
Xu Xinchen frowned deeply, reached out her free hand and grabbed Li Xueyan's wrist. She tightened her grip, squeezing Li Xueyan's wrist hard to make her feel pain so she could free her wrist.
Li Xueyan was so focused on preventing Xu Xinchen from resigning that she didn't notice Xu Xinchen's actions. Xu Xinchen grabbed her wrist and squeezed it hard, causing her hand to loosen its grip in pain.
Once freed, Xu Xinchen immediately withdrew her hand, looked at Li Xueyan with a bewildered expression, and said bluntly, "Miss Li, are you out of your mind?"
Li Xueyan was already furious because Xu Xinchen had pinched her hand so hard. Now, being questioned in such an impolite tone by Xu Xinchen, she couldn't hold back any longer. She glared at Xu Xinchen fiercely, her eyes red and her face contorted as she roared, "Lu Minshi! You bitch! What are you saying!"
Xu Xinchen laughed coldly: "What do I mean? Miss Li, don't you know? It's my freedom to work wherever I want. Miss Li, what right do you have to force me to stay? I can't find any other explanation for your behavior except that you're mentally ill."
Li Xueyan couldn't stand Xu Xinchen's mockery. She raised her hand and swung it down, about to slap Xu Xinchen across the face: "Lu Minshi, you bitch! I'll tear your stinking mouth apart!"
Xu Xinchen was shocked that Li Xueyan would dare to attack her right there in the office with so many eyes watching. She was so frightened that she couldn't react at all.
Just as Li Xueyan's slap was about to land, Lin Bingchun, who was standing next to her, reacted first, rushing forward with both hands and pushing her back sharply, thus preventing her from being slapped by Li Xueyan.
However, as Lin Bingchun pushed her backward, she was too anxious and didn't pay attention to the force she used. She used too much force and her lower back hit the desk backboard hard.
"Hmm..."
Xu Xinchen's desk was right next to the wall. Suddenly it was pushed upright and hit the partition, which was almost like hitting the wall. A series of pains came from her back.
Lin Bingchun hadn't expected that her good intentions in trying to help Xu Xinchen escape the slap would actually hurt Xu Xinchen even more, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She rushed to Xu Xinchen's side in a hurry, reaching out to help her up, but she was afraid of accidentally touching Xu Xinchen's wound. She stood there looking extremely helpless.
"Min Shi, Min Shi, how are you? Are you badly hurt? I'm so sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." Lin Bingchun's tears fell from her eyes as she looked at Xu Xinchen with a heart full of guilt.
Xu Xinchen held her waist, keenly feeling waves of pain coming from her bones. But when she saw Lin Bingchun's guilty expression, she immediately forced herself to endure the pain and reached out to pat Lin Bingchun's head.
Upon seeing Lin Bingchen, who took all the blame upon herself, Xu Xinchen immediately comforted her, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine. Don't be like this. I know you didn't mean it."
Lin Bingchun didn't feel any better despite Xu Xinchen's comforting words. Her eyes were still red, and tears were still falling. "I pushed you too hard just now. I'm sorry. If I had been more careful, you wouldn't have bumped into me."
Xu Xinchen was heartbroken. This girl had clearly come to help her, but she was too nervous and didn't control her strength, which is why this happened. How could she be blamed?
"Bingchun, listen to me. You were just trying to help me. If you hadn't pushed me, my face would be in even more pain now. I might have even broken the inner wall of my cheek and bled from that slap."
In order to make things easier for Lin Bingchun, Xu Xinchen did not hesitate to push all the blame onto Li Xueyan.
