Chapter 286: An Unexpected Result
But they still couldn’t resist secretly sizing up Lin Banxia, wondering, what exactly did the eldest son from the Huo Family see in her? How did she end up marrying him?Even though the marriage lasted less than two months before she got kicked out, the fact that she managed to get the eldest son of the Huo Family to register their marriage was already something most people couldn’t accomplish.
Their assessment was that Lin Banxia was very pretty, but besides her looks, she seemed somewhat introverted and not great at communicating with others, which made things even more puzzling.
Lin Banxia seemed quite ordinary, nothing exceptional about her at all. Plus, earlier, when she argued with the Huo Family’s eldest daughter, she didn’t appear particularly formidable. On the contrary, she got yelled at right in her face without even daring to utter a word in protest—clearly not a strong or cunning woman.
Lin Banxia, feeling moody and restless, lowered her head and focused on her work. She could sense the scrutinizing and curious gazes coming from those around her, but she no longer cared.
Leng Weichen had come downstairs specifically to deal with Lin Banxia’s troubles. After smoking a cigarette outside, he turned back to the lobby.
He saw that the front desk, which had just been in chaos moments ago, had now returned to peace.
"Good afternoon, President Leng!" One of the women, sharp-eyed, quickly bowed and greeted him loudly.
Hearing that Leng Weichen had come back, Lin Banxia’s grip on her pen tightened involuntarily.
This time, Leng Weichen didn’t just walk past her indifferently; instead, he stopped directly in front of her desk. With his fingers slightly curled, he tapped lightly on the desk in front of her: "Lin Banxia, come upstairs with me. I need to talk to you."
Upon hearing her name called, Lin Banxia felt her nerves tighten. It’s over, it’s over—the inevitable has come. She was definitely getting fired.
"Yes!" Even though she knew it wouldn’t be anything good, Lin Banxia still responded promptly and respectfully.
She put down her pen and notebook, then followed behind Leng Weichen as they walked into his exclusive elevator.
The women at the front desk were left staring after them with expressions of astonishment and envy.
Inside the elevator, Leng Weichen stepped forward with his long strides, while Lin Banxia kept her head down, trailing behind him dejectedly.
Leng Weichen’s assistant, Lin Yuan, was highly perceptive; he immediately turned toward a different elevator, carefully avoiding disturbing his boss’s interaction with this woman.
As the elevator doors closed, Lin Banxia nervously twisted her fingers. At last, she gathered the courage to speak up and apologize: "President Leng, I’m sorry for causing you trouble."
Leng Weichen stood in front of her, and she instinctively retreated to hide behind him, looking guilty.
"What did you do wrong?" His deep voice sounded calmly.
Lin Banxia’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she carefully pondered where she had gone wrong.
"If it weren’t for me, Huo Anya wouldn’t have come to the company and caused a huge scene, damaging its reputation." She clearly knew where her fault lay.
Leng Weichen turned his face slightly, his profound eyes scanning over her anxious little face: "You were simply doing what you were supposed to do. You did nothing wrong. The one at fault is Huo Anya. Didn’t I already teach her a lesson? Are you still dwelling on what happened earlier?"
Lin Banxia was even more stunned upon hearing this, taken aback and unable to respond right away.
"Lin Banxia, I’m transferring you to another department. Clearly, you’re not very suited for the role of front desk receptionist," Leng Weichen suggested, taking the opportunity to propose his plan. He had intended to move her to a department that matched her professional skills anyway.
"Huh... You’re not firing me?" Lin Banxia froze for a few seconds, her beautiful eyes flashing with a mix of surprise and delight.
