Leng Yichen spoke with a casual air, but Bai Yiran felt uneasy in her heart. She thought, if today it hadn’t been her that Chen Lusheng offended, but some other girl, then Leng Yichen would likely have chosen to protect him because of Chen Lusheng’s work capabilities, and the one sacrificed would have been that innocent girl.
No wonder Chen Lusheng could confidently shift all the responsibility onto himself in front of Leng Yichen, without knowing the truth...
At this moment, Bai Yiran didn’t know whether she should feel grateful or sad?
Noticing Bai Yiran’s emotional fluctuation, Leng Yichen sat up and looked at her, "What’s wrong? Realizing the harshness of the workplace?"
Bai Yiran glanced at Leng Yichen, "Damn exploitation!"
Leng Yichen chuckled, "The workplace is inherently exploitative, but you have another choice."
"What?" Bai Yiran blinked her big eyes.
"Hide under my protection, and be quietly protected by me. Return to the family and obediently be my wife, Bai Yiran."
"No way!" So all this talk from you, Leng Yichen, was just to make her give up and stay home quietly!
Just when everyone thought Bai Yiran would be dismissed along with Chen Lusheng, Bai Yiran showed up before everyone in new clothes with a flushed face.
Amongst the astonished looks, Bai Yiran silently sat down at her workstation.
Seeing Bai Yiran return, Li Fei had mixed feelings. She still loved Chen Lusheng, but she just witnessed the scene where Chen Lusheng’s wife grabbed Bai Yiran’s hair. How would she feel if she were the one mistakenly grabbed as the other woman?
"Hey, why are you back?" Amy walked up to Bai Yiran’s workstation, her voice loud enough for everyone in the office area to hear.
"Why shouldn’t I come back?" This incident had made Bai Yiran truly see through these people’s attitudes, and she discarded her previous cowardly attempts to please them.
Amy didn’t expect to be snapped back at by Bai Yiran, and her face suddenly turned ugly, "Chen Lusheng’s wife caught the other woman right here in the office, and now that Chen Lusheng has been dismissed, what are you back for?"
Bai Yiran smiled, "Manager Ai, Chen Lusheng was dismissed because he embezzled company funds, what does that have to do with me? Besides, Chen Lusheng’s wife just believed a rumor thinking I’m the other woman, but in reality, Chen Lusheng and I have no relation at all, and this can be proven by the company’s lack of any action against me!"
Bai Yiran’s words left Amy momentarily speechless, she could only glare at Bai Yiran with a warning look.
In the end, everything settled like this, Bai Yiran still kept Li Fei’s secret, as repayment for her previous assistance to Bai Yiran. It’s just that since then, they hadn’t spoken outside of work again.
The HR and administration department was temporarily managed by Qi Hui, the marketing manager. Qi Hui was a concise and efficient woman with a different handling style from Chen Lusheng, insisting on precision and tolerating no mistakes in work matters.
This made Amy a bit uncomfortable and depressed. Initially, with Chen Lusheng gone, Amy thought she might get promoted, but unexpectedly Qi Hui popped up unexpectedly.
However, for now, Qi Hui was only overseeing, and Amy felt she still had a chance.
Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion like this, with Amy busy dealing with Qi Hui every day, leaving her no time to trouble Bai Yiran anymore, making Bai Yiran’s days a bit easier.
