After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 23 Company Party

The assistant visibly relaxed, clearly pleased that Lin Xingzhu hadn't forgotten the previous promise to double her salary.

She sighed in relief and sincerely thanked, "Thank you for your consideration, President Lin."

After leaving the office, the assistant touched her chest, which had been tight with anxiety.

Lin Xingzhu's presence was overwhelmingly intimidating, like someone who had been in power for years; every frown or smile carried weight, leaving people sweating in silence.

It seemed that no matter how carefree she had been before, her years of elite training still held strong, depending only on whether she wanted to utilize it.

With a smile in her eyes, the assistant thought that being serious was fine, as long as Lin Xingzhu remained generous.

In her office, Lin Xingzhu poured herself a cup of hot tea, the steam rising and blurring her vision.

Some memories seemed etched in her bones, imprinted on her soul; the teachings of the Qin family always stirred her, even after many years in a different world.

Lin Xingzhu despised the presence of those with ulterior motives around her; it made her uncontrollably suspicious.

Even more so, it could lead to her losing control of her emotions.

But this undoubtedly contradicted the bottom line she had set for herself, creating uncontrollable consequences.

While the courses offered by the Qin family included self-defense training, they never taught how to kill a person.

Lin Xingzhu closed her eyes, burying all her emotions beneath the surface, leaving no trace.

After signing the contract with Mu Muqing on Thursday afternoon, Lin Xingzhu declined her invitation to stay.

"I have other matters to attend to at the company; I'm really pressed for time," Lin Xingzhu said helplessly.

Mu Muqing chuckled lightly, "In that case, I won't keep you, President Lin. Let's meet again when there's an opportunity."

Lin Xingzhu nodded and exchanged a knowing glance with Mu Muqing; they could both see through the facade.

Mu Muqing watched Lin Xingzhu, who was radiant and confident, and couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain. She seemed to be getting all the benefits.

Thinking about Bai Xiying, whom she had specially sent out today, her gaze darkened; she had gained nothing so far.

Suppressing her impatience, Mu Muqing returned to her office with a cold expression.

Bai Xiying had been busy working at the company every day recently. Mu Muqing had wanted to ask her out after work, but she left quickly. Even when she did occasionally ask, Bai Xiying seemed hesitant and retreated.

This thought made her increasingly irritated.

Throughout her life, even if it wasn't what Mu Muqing desired, her exceptional looks had always worked in her favor. Not to mention, she was not like Lin Xingzhu, who was merely a pretty face; she had a successful career and outstanding beauty, always surrounded by admirers!
