Bai Yiran’s head was getting more muddled, and she wanted to go to the pantry to make a cup of freshly ground coffee. But she heard this conversation at the door.
"What’s the background of that new Bai Yiran in your department?"
"Heh, what kind of background could she have, she’s just a little girl who just graduated from college." That was Amy’s voice.
"Hey, didn’t you see she drives a Volvo to work? I bet her family is quite rich, huh?"
"I don’t think her family bought it... look at her, like a vixen; who knows how many sugar daddies she has out there..."
"Amy, your words are really sharp, but I think so too. She’s only been here for a short time and several guys in my department are already asking about her."
"She’s really a vixen, I’ll kick her out sooner or later!"
Bai Yiran stood at the pantry door, unsure whether to go in. She was angry, really wanting to burst in and scold those gossiping behind her back. But reason told her she couldn’t do that.
This is the workplace, and she must follow workplace rules. Survival of the fittest. Without relying on Leng Yichen, she’s nothing at Huamei; she vowed she would prove herself without relying on Leng Yichen.
Bai Yiran turned around and left the pantry, returning to her workstation to continue her work.
To prove herself, she must eliminate all obstacles, and the first step is to safely stay at Huamei!
Amy returned not long after, seeing Bai Yiran frowning in distress, she felt quite satisfied.
Close to noon, Bai Yiran finally completed a portion of her work, and Li Fei came to find Bai Yiran to go to the cafeteria for lunch together.
The moment they reached the cafeteria, they saw Amy eating with a few female colleagues of similar rank, talking while eating. Seeing Bai Yiran and Li Fei enter, they all fell silent, looking at Bai Yiran as if they wanted to see through her.
Such gazes made Bai Yiran very uncomfortable, so after getting their meals, she and Li Fei sat at a place quite far from Amy and the others.
Chen Lusheng walked into the cafeteria. Actually, men like Chen Lusheng, who are stylish and wealthy, are still highly sought after, as evidenced by Amy’s reaction to him.
Seeing Chen Lusheng carrying a tray, Amy’s eyes lit up, "Manager, sit here!"
Chen Lusheng glanced at Amy’s spot and shook his head, "Too crowded here, I’ll sit over there."
Saying this, Chen Lusheng carried his tray over to sit with Bai Yiran and Li Fei.
Amy glared at Bai Yiran with resentful eyes, making Bai Yiran immediately uncomfortable.
"Today’s lunch is pretty good!" Chen Lusheng’s voice was deep and strong, almost like he had studied broadcasting.
"Yes, it’s good." Bai Yiran replied under Amy’s chilling gaze, "Li Fei, what do you think?"
Li Fei was just focused on eating, seemingly a bit nervous with Chen Lusheng sitting there, not daring to lift her head.
"Li Fei?" Bai Yiran called again, "What’s wrong with you?"
"Ah?" Only then did Li Fei look up, realizing both Bai Yiran and Chen Lusheng were looking at her, suddenly a bit embarrassed, she nodded, "Yes, the company’s food has always been great. The cafeteria is managed by our administrative department; the menu and ingredients are discussed by the chef and manager, so the food is of course delicious..."
Li Fei’s voice grew smaller and her face looked red, very uncomfortable.
Chen Lusheng smiled warmly, his strong voice matched perfectly, "This wouldn’t be possible without your effort, and you too, Yiran." Chen Lusheng fixed his gaze on Bai Yiran, "I heard Amy asked you to organize the payment details for the past five years?"
"Yes." Bai Yiran nodded.
"Hmm, that’s quite a task. You won’t finish it all today; I’ll inform Amy later, just make sure you submit it by the end of the week, no need to rush. If there’s anything unclear, ask Li Fei, she’s the most diligent and hardworking member of our department."
"Okay, thank you, Manager!" Bai Yiran breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don’t worry, Manager, I’ll definitely help Bai Yiran well." Hearing Chen Lusheng’s praise, Li Fei’s cheeks flushed with a smile, full of enthusiasm.
After lunch, Amy was indeed called to Chen Lusheng’s office, coming out after a short while.
Amy walked briskly to Bai Yiran’s workstation, her eyes seemingly capable of shooting fire, "Bai Yiran, you’re really something, learned to complain as soon as you got here?"
Bai Yiran was taken aback, "I didn’t do anything, did I?"
