After being rejected by the school beauty, he picked up a treasure girl

However, she was just an employee, and her duties were clear and simple.

She could certainly speculate on her boss's inner thoughts, but that was not an area she should delve too deeply into, let alone spend too much time on.

She knows very well that her core mission is to complete every task diligently and conscientiously.

So, Li Jiawen put aside all distractions, returned to his post, and devoted himself to his work wholeheartedly.

……

Chen Ying's mood was mixed, and she slowly walked back to her workstation.

As soon as she sat down, colleagues came to her like a tide, curious to hear something from her.

"Yingying, why does the chairman want to see you?" The girl named Yiyi was the first to ask, and her words revealed her desire for information.

She graduated last year and has been in the Lin Group for two years, including one year of internship.

Before Chen Ying and her group came, she was the youngest sister in the company.

As soon as Chen Ying and the others arrived, her status was immediately elevated from younger sister to senior, and she even straightened her back.

The way he speaks sounds like a seasoned expert.

However, many of the employees here have been working for ten, dozens or even several decades.

In comparison, he looks like a clown.

Facing Yiyi's questioning, Chen Ying smiled gently and tried to answer in a calm tone: "Nothing."

"Then...how was the chairman's mood when you went upstairs? He wasn't angry, right?" Yiyi pointed in the direction of the ceiling, as if trying to peek into the chairman's mood through the partition.

"No, he's not angry."

Chen Ying's answer made everyone around her feel relieved.

Not being angry means that the current problem is not serious enough to alarm the chairman.

"So how does the chairman feel?" Yiyi was still unwilling to give in and continued to ask.

Her curiosity was like a kindled flame, eager to burn brighter.

"Oh, the chairman is a person who always keeps a low profile and never shows his emotions, right? Yingying, what do you think?" The girl opposite Chen Ying raised her head and said lightly.

Chen Ying smiled slightly, expressed her gratitude for her colleague's understanding, and nodded gently.

Afterwards, she did not participate in any more conversation, as if she was lost in her own thoughts.

Great.

Seeing that she obviously didn't want to talk, the others stopped talking.

Not long after, everyone received the news that Chen Ying was resigning.

This news caused a small stir in the tea room.

Several colleagues gathered together and discussed the matter in a low voice.

Yiyi held a cup of coffee, leaned against the wall, and asked in confusion: "How could it be? To let an employee resign, it doesn't require the chairman to come in person, right?"

"Yeah, the chairman doesn't have the time for that." The girl next to her took over the conversation.

"I'll go back tonight and ask him if he has any inside information."

She has an unknown underground relationship with a senior executive of the Lin Group.

"Yiyi, you are so lucky to have a boyfriend who is a senior executive of the Lin Group." Someone said enviously.

Yiyi smiled and responded modestly: "He is a low-key person who works steadily. He doesn't like people to know about our relationship because he is afraid that someone will take advantage of this."

Her words revealed her appreciation and trust for her boyfriend, but also her worries and frustrations about her job. Inadvertently, she also revealed a sense of complacency.

……

After work, Yiyi went directly to her boyfriend, Lu Peng's house.

As soon as the two met, they hugged each other.

Lu Peng seemed a little impatient, but Yiyi gently pushed him away and said with a hint of concern and curiosity: "Lu Peng, do you know? A girl in our department suddenly resigned today."

"Oh? Did she make any serious mistakes?" Lu Peng asked. He knew that the entry requirements of Lin Group were extremely harsh and employees usually would not leave easily unless they made major mistakes.

"She did make some data errors, but they were not irreparable mistakes," Yiyi explained.

"Then why did you resign?" Lu Peng was obviously puzzled.

"Yeah. That's why I wanted to ask you if you knew."

"Who resigned?" Lu Peng asked.

"It's Chen Ying, the new intern." Yiyi replied.

"Chen Ying?" Lu Peng's voice suddenly rose, sounding a little surprised.

Yiyi noticed that something was wrong with him and looked at him in confusion.

Lu Peng realized that he had overreacted, so he coughed twice to try to cover up his gaffe.

He hugged Yiyi tightly, kissed her on the forehead, and said gently: "Don't think too much. I just heard about Chen Ying from above. They said she is very capable at work and has great potential for development. So I was a little surprised to hear that she resigned suddenly."

After hearing Lu Peng's explanation, Yiyi's doubts disappeared.

She was well aware of Lu Peng's deep affection for her, and he always tried his best to protect her and keep her from any harm in the company.

How could she suspect that he would fall in love with another girl?

Thinking of this, her heart was filled with sweetness and trust again.

"The chairman looked for her today, and not long after he came down, I heard that she had submitted her resignation, so I wanted to ask you if you knew about the situation." Yiyi explained the reason for asking him.

"The chairman has met her. Could it be... because of that incident?" Lu Peng muttered in confusion.

"What thing?" Yiyi asked, her curiosity was completely aroused.

Lu Peng smiled slightly and deliberately avoided the direct answer: "Nothing, it's getting late, go to bed."

"Oh, tell me, I'm getting curious." Yiyi shook Lu Peng's arm coquettishly.

"Why are you curious? Isn't it... strange?" Lu Peng said deliberately.

"You're so annoying, just tell me!" Yiyi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she was eager to know the answer.

"You can let me say it, but you have to..." Lu Peng paused deliberately, his eyes lingering on Yiyi's face for a moment.

Yiyi's face instantly turned red like a ripe apple, as if blood could drip out. She lowered her head shyly and whispered, "Then you speak first."

Seeing that Yiyi had taken the bait, Lu Peng finally revealed the answer with satisfaction: "I guess it has something to do with the eldest lady."

"Miss?" Yiyi raised her head in surprise.

"That's right. Everyone in the Lin Group knows that Chairman Lin has a precious daughter, and he protects her very well. We only know that she exists, but we have never seen her true face."

Lu Peng explained, with a hint of mystery in his tone, "I heard that the eldest lady's fiancé once pursued Chen Ying, and he pursued her for quite a while, because Chen Ying had always refused. Later, I don't know how he met the eldest lady and ended up being together with her."
