Chapter 287: The Cold Young Master Won’t Let Go
Wei Chen chuckled softly, "At the very least, we have some level of familiarity from before. Out of respect for knowing each other, I wouldn’t fire you. On the contrary, since you’ve come to work at my company, that still counts as a certain kind of fate. If you want to prove that you’re a good employee, then switch to another department and show me your capabilities. Prove to me whether I was right to help you or not."Banxia froze upon hearing his encouraging words, then she smiled, the corners of her lips curving upward. "Which department do you want me to switch to? Let me confess something to you upfront. Honestly, I don’t have any work experience at all. I’m afraid I’ll just disappoint you."
Wei Chen’s gaze deepened. This woman was still as blunt as ever. Somehow, though, he inexplicably liked the way she spoke directly — without holding back, without a shred of calculation. Her words gave him a strange sense of reassurance.
"It’s fine, everyone has a first time. Experience is something that can be accumulated. I’ll arrange for someone to properly teach you how to do the job." Wei Chen’s tone remained calm, but it carried a subtle warmth and concern.
Banxia hadn’t expected to encounter such a kind and friendly boss. It suddenly reminded her of Wei Chen from her previous life—he truly was a warm person.
Thinking about her previous life, Banxia’s entire body stiffened inexplicably.
Wait a minute...
Something doesn’t feel right.
Banxia’s eyes instinctively zeroed in on Wei Chen’s face. She stared at him while silently calculating something in her mind.
Wei Chen hadn’t expected this woman to be so bold. He had just gone out of his way to help her, and now she was looking at him with such a suspicious expression.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wei Chen’s heart unexpectedly began to race. Her intense gaze made him feel inexplicably uneasy and flustered.
Banxia suddenly bit her lower lip, pressing a finger against it. Then, as if caught in a fit of frustration, she stomped her foot slightly.
"What happened?" Wei Chen was startled by her sudden bizarre reaction, his chest tightening as concern for her surged.
As though she had suddenly reached a realization, Banxia said in deep distress, "President Leng, maybe... maybe you should just fire me. I don’t think I’m suited to work here."
Wei Chen’s large hand suddenly clenched tightly upon hearing her actively propose quitting. His tone became taut as he asked, "Why? Didn’t you say you wanted a job? The new position I’m offering you definitely won’t disappoint and aligns perfectly with your qualifications."
Banxia listened to his words, which seemed to be full of consideration for her, and her sense of guilt intensified further.
"No, no, it’s not that. I know you’ll surely provide me with a satisfying job, but I... I still don’t think I should work here," Banxia said resolutely, her stance firm.
Just then, the elevator arrived at their floor, and its doors parted open.
Wei Chen, however, stood frozen in place, his tall figure rigid and unmoving. This woman had just said she didn’t want to work for him.
"The elevator... has arrived!" Banxia noticed the elevator doors had opened but saw Wei Chen still standing motionless. She gently reminded him, "Let’s talk outside!"
Wei Chen furrowed his brows tightly, his expression stormy. He stepped out with his long legs, striding toward his office with a faintly chilling air.
Banxia realized there were still things left unsaid and naturally followed him toward his office.
Wei Chen pushed open the office door and entered. Banxia hesitated momentarily before heading inside as well.
