"Oh? This must be the new Miss Xin who joined the station, right? She's a real pretty one she is!" The balding chairman whose name she did not know was holding a glass of wine while he eyed her lustfully, showing the glass into her hands.

Xin Siyue accepted the drink awkwardly before distancing herself from him in a casual manner. But in the next second, another chairman leaned in closer and asked with a smile, "What brand of perfume is Miss Xin wearing?"

Even if Xin Siyue was stupid, it was easy to know that she had ventured into the tiger's den. She smiled and quietly asked the team leader, "Didn't you say that Host Xie and the others will be coming as well?"

"Oh! They're still on their way!"

Xin Siyue's face sank. This was definitely a trap.

She was just about to get her bag and leave, but before she could get up, her wrist was caught by the balding chairman and was pulled over by a force she could not resist.

Falling to his lap, Xin Siyue struggled desperately.

"Oh! Look at this! The little girly says no, but her body seems to say yes? Let's have a kiss and see how sweet these lips are!"

Then, there was a crash. While struggling, Xin Siyue managed to grab onto a wine bottle and picked it up, smashing it down on that balding head with all her might!

"Ah!" A ghostly cry rang out.

"Blood! There's blood!"

"Quick, call an ambulance!"

"Catch her, don't let her run!"

But how could Xin Siyue stick around here any longer? After throwing the wine bottle, she immediately ran out.

The situation was chaos in the room. It didn't take long after Xin Siyue left to be chased by a large group of men in black suits.

Xin Siyue waited for a long time, but the elevator wouldn't come. So, gritting her teeth, she ran for the stairs. Only, she bumped into a man as soon as she turned around the corner of the hallway.

As soon as she saw that the men dressed in black were about to catch up to her, she was just about to push him away and run, but her wrist was grabbed firmly and she was pulled into a nearby room.

The private room was dimly lit, but Xin Siyue could still faintly make out the outline of the man's face.

"Chen...Chen Junxing, why are you here?"

Chen Junxing motioned for her not to speak. After the urgent clatter from outside the room ceased, he responded, "There was a dinner tonight."

Xin Siyue also understood that the group must have headed in a different direction. She couldn't help but feel relieved. "Thanks." Then, turning around, she listened attentively for any movements outside. Aside from a year or two, everything was quiet.

When Chen Junxing saw her reaching for the door, he quickly stopped her.

"Tell me clearly. What on earth is going on?"

Xin Siyue took a breath and said, "I just fell for a trap."

Chen Junxing's brows knitted together. "And how does that end with you being hunted down with such a large commotion?"

Xin Siyue responded helplessly to him, "I guess they were trying to pull the unspoken rule thing on me but I smashed a wine bottle over his head. If they catch me, I'd probably be skinned alive...if I do stay alive."

Chen Junxing held his breath, but his face wasn't looking so good.

Xin Siyue peered at him. "This isn't a big deal, really. At most, I just won't be able to stick around in J City anymore. Not like I still want this job anyway! My win is enough to prove my capabilities. That alone is enough."

"So you're going to just give up on the job you just got?"

Xin Siyue responded with scorn, "What, and you think I'm just going to stick around for them to get rid of me? If I may be so bold, they don't have that right, Chen Junxing! I don't need a job that requires fancy 'rules' to climb to the top."

"Heh, you're still young to the world." Chen Junxing's face dimmed in a rare sight as he stepped over her and opened the door, saying, "I'll send you back first. If you ever find yourself in any trouble in J City, just say my name. I can't guarantee how lucky you'll be with it, but most people will still show some respect to the Chen family at the very least."
