Huh?
Li Xin's face instantly turned pale, "President Lin, I didn't do anything else, just said a couple of words to him."
"Still dare to talk back! You think I didn't see?" Lin Wanxi said with coldness.
Li Xin lowered her head, not daring to make a sound, feeling very wronged, she didn't expect to suffer from such misfortune.
Chen Xuan knew very well that Lin Wanxi was upset with him and was venting at the receptionist Li Xin.
"Lin Wanxi, if you have issues, come at me. Why take it out on Li Xin?"
"I was the one who actively engaged with her, it has nothing to do with Li Xin!"
"Trying to be a hero, standing up for her, huh?" Lin Wanxi glared angrily at Chen Xuan, "Don't think just because you helped the company resolve a crisis, I will tolerate your despicable acts!"
Chen Xuan was amused in anger, "Lin Wanxi, do you know the actual situation? You just throw dirt on me!"
"Still need me to throw dirt on you? You're dirty enough yourself!" Lin Wanxi scoffed coldly, "In the company, I give you some face, unwilling to argue with you!"
After speaking, she turned to Li Xin, saying coldly, "Li Xin, go home tonight and write a self-reflection, submit it to my office tomorrow."
"Remember, during working hours, strictly prohibit doing anything unrelated to work!"
"Yes, President Lin, I understand." Li Xin quickly responded.
Lin Wanxi shot a vicious look at Chen Xuan and turned to leave.
"Really a lunatic!" Chen Xuan said irritably.
Li Xin quickly chimed in, "You're not allowed to talk about President Lin like that!"
"It was indeed my mistake; President Lin criticizing me is only right."
Hmm?
Chen Xuan stared blankly, "Li Xin, aren't you out of your mind?"
"We were just kidding around, not chasing or fighting, Lin Wanxi clearly made a big deal out of it."
"You were wronged yourself, yet you speak well of her."
Li Xin immediately retorted, "President Lin has always managed strictly, we both respect and fear her."
"Although it's strange President Lin lost her temper this time, she usually cares a lot about us employees."
"Last year, when I joined the company, my mother was hospitalized and urgently needed money."
"As a fresh graduate, where could I find money? I could only cry in secret. President Lin found out and directly gave me 200,000, deducting it from my salary later."
"How many bosses would do what President Lin did? She is the person I respect most in my lifetime!"
Uh...
Chen Xuan was momentarily speechless, surprised that beneath Lin Wanxi's cold exterior lay a warm heart.
The impression of Lin Wanxi slightly changed.
Not entirely unreasonable.
Should I explain to her about that matter?
Chen Xuan pursed his lips, feeling slightly conflicted inside.
"Forget it, as a man, be a bit more magnanimous, explain it to her properly tonight."
"Even if a fleeting relationship, eventually it ends, there's no need for opposition."
Chen Xuan shook his head, decided to talk about it when he returned home.
That afternoon, Lin Zhiguo arranged the shipment, large amounts of stockpiled medication flowed into the Ruixiang Chain Pharmacy.
Lin Zhiguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the crisis finally temporarily resolved.
However, thinking about the emotional crisis between Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi, he couldn't help but worry.
Afraid they might go to extremes due to this, becoming irreparable.
For this reason, Lin Zhiguo specifically sought out Chen Xuan, hesitated for a long time, then awkwardly said, "Chen Xuan, tell me honestly, did you..."
"Father-in-law, I can assure you, no I didn't!"
Chen Xuan looked serious, "I wouldn't claim to be a paragon of virtue, but I'm not an indiscriminate man either."
"Seeing an attractive woman, I admit I'd be tempted because I'm a normal man. But it's not seeing a woman then wanting to sleep with her, they're separate things!"
"And crucially, I won't sell out a man's dignity just to complete a task!"
Lin Zhiguo nodded, "Good, having your word is enough, I won't ask more."
"Chen Xuan, you're a true man! Sincere, priceless quality!"
"But I have only Wanxi as a daughter, hope you don't wrong her. On matters of feelings, it's best to clarify, don't you think?"
Chen Xuan nodded, "Thank you for your recognition, you're also a wise and open-minded father-in-law."
"Tonight, when I get home, I'll explain it clearly to Lin Wanxi."
"Good, Chen Xuan, you're quite something! Adaptable, truly heroic! I'm not mistaken!"
Lin Zhiguo smiled, very satisfied with Chen Xuan's attitude.
In the evening, after work, Lin Wanxi kept a gloomy face, not even looking at Chen Xuan.
The dinner table was eerily silent, neither spoke.
Lin Zhiguo secretly signaled to Chen Xuan, who nodded slightly to reassure him.
When Lin Wanxi went upstairs, Chen Xuan followed closely.
Lin Wanxi opened the bedroom door, seeing Chen Xuan approaching, promptly shut it.
Bam!
Blocked by Chen Xuan's hand.
"Let go! Take your hand away, hear me?" Lin Wanxi glared angrily.
Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly, "Lin Wanxi, don't you want to hear my explanation?"
"Nothing to explain, I see clearly now!"
Lin Wanxi said coldly, "I stated before, outside, any woman you seek, I won't interfere."
"Then why so upset, for what reason?" Chen Xuan found it somewhat amusing, "Could you be jealous, caring about me?"
Humph!
Lin Wanxi snorted coldly, "Stop tangling with me! I'd be jealous of a forty-year-old woman? Ridiculous!"
"So, you assume I'd check into a hotel with a forty-year-old woman?" Chen Xuan smirked coldly.
Lin Wanxi furrowed her brows slightly, uncertain, but over the phone...
Even if Ye Qingxian deliberately sabotaged, couldn't interfere in that aspect.
Chen Xuan's voice, coupled with Zhang Lan's provocative moans, clearly heard!
"Fine, I'll give you one chance to explain!"
"Don't try to deceive me with lies!"
Lin Wanxi said coldly.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to explain, Ye Qingxian's call came in.
Instantly, Lin Wanxi's face returned to a gloomy state...
