Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman wearing a simple white top and black pants walk in. She wore such ordinary clothes, yet she managed to make them look fashionable and minimalist.

Looking into her smiling eyes, everyone present subconsciously looked away, as if they had been seen through, and felt inexplicably guilty.

Qiaoqiao glanced at Lin Xi, who instantly caught everyone's attention, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes. She walked out of the crowd in her high heels, her expression haughty, as if to show off her nobility.

"You've finally arrived. We've all been waiting for you for a long time," Qiaoqiao said with a fake smile.

"Yes, yes, we've all been waiting for you." Everyone chimed in, after all, appearances had to be maintained, and other matters could be discussed privately.

Lin Xi didn't ask any more questions. Since everyone was already there, there would be plenty of opportunities. She pulled An'an, who looked dejected, to sit down on the sofa.

"Xixi, how much do you want? Do you think I can afford it?" A man with a buzz cut sat down next to Lin Xi, his smile looking somewhat greasy.

"Don't talk nonsense!" An'an exploded instantly, shouting in a fit of temper.

Seeing everyone's attention focused on him, the man with the buzz cut looked somewhat embarrassed and muttered, "She's just a bitch, why bother asking?" before leaving.

Lin Xi grabbed him from behind with one hand and said softly, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"Ah! Lin Xi, what are you trying to do? You actually want to hit me in public? Aren't you afraid I'll call the police?" The man with the buzz cut struggled angrily, his face turning red, but he found that the hand gripping him was tightening its grip, and his expression was getting worse and worse.

The short-haired woman quickly came over to persuade her, "Lin Xi, we're all colleagues, it's just a joke, you don't need to take it out on us."

"Yes, yes, they're all colleagues, why can't they talk things out? Why don't you just let him go?"

Lin Xi's hand strength increased.

"Ah, let go, you bitch ***" the buzz-cut man cursed.

Lin Xi didn't hold back and randomly tapped him a few times, causing him to scream in pain, his teeth chattering, and veins bulging on his forehead.

The man with the buzz cut was in excruciating pain. Realizing that force wouldn't work, he could only beg for mercy, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those things. Please, please let me go. I really won't do it again."

"He's already admitted his mistake, so please let him go."

"Yeah, yeah, it was just a few words."

"What? You want to try too?" Lin Xi raised an eyebrow, a faint smile on her lips as she looked at them and asked softly.

Everyone quickly retreated and returned to their seats, their eyes filled with fear.

It's not worth sacrificing yourself for someone else!

This guy with the buzz cut is really something, making such a fuss just by clenching his hands, he doesn't act like a man at all!

Qiaoqiao looked at the crew-cut man with a look of utter dismay. What a coward, he couldn't even beat a woman.

However, the supervisor will be here soon, and he definitely won't let her off the hook...

Qiaoqiao resumed her haughty expression.

The man with the buzz cut was now suffering in silence, the pain continuing, and he could only keep begging for mercy. Lin Xi curled up a mocking smile, tapped him a couple more times, and suddenly let go. The man with the buzz cut fell to the ground without any warning, like an octopus.

After a moment, she quickly sat down as far away from her as possible, as if she were a demon. A deep fear lingered in her eyes; recalling the excruciating pain she had just experienced, her face was filled with lingering dread.

Lin Xi clapped her hands and sat back down on the sofa.

"Xi Xi, you're so amazing!" An An looked at Lin Xi with admiration.

Lin Xi casually grabbed a bottle of water for herself, looking completely at ease. "This is just an appetizer; the main course is yet to come."

“Xixi, they all say you’re being kept by someone…” An’an said in a low voice, her eyes constantly observing Xixi’s reaction.

Lin Xi paused for a second, then covered the water bottle. "Do you believe me?"

“Of course I don’t believe it, but their spreading rumors about you is affecting your reputation.” An’an said anxiously, tugging at her arm, her eyes showing concern.

Lin Xi's eyes softened, and she gently patted her hand, saying reassuringly, "It's okay, I'll handle it."

"Mm." An An nodded heavily, looked up at Lin Xi, and the light made her already exquisite features even more perfect. Her expression was calm, and a faint smile always hung on the corner of her mouth, as if nothing could stump her.

"Everyone's here! I got stuck in traffic, so I'm a little late," Manager Lin said with a smile as he pushed open the door to the private room, but his eyes kept glancing in Lin Xi's direction, with a hint of ill intent in them.

Lin Xi paused, her hand holding the water, her eyes turning cold before she regained her composure and gently put the water down.

"Manager Lin is late. Does everyone think he should be punished with three drinks?" Qiaoqiao said with a smile as she stood up.

“He deserves to be punished, so I’ll punish myself with three drinks.” Manager Lin picked up the wine that had already been poured on the table and downed three glasses in one gulp.

"Manager Lin has a great capacity for alcohol, let's give him a round of applause."

Manager Lin smiled with satisfaction as he looked at everyone's fawning expressions.

It's true that having some power is good; after today, he'll probably be promoted to a higher position.

He looked in Lin Xi's direction, a determined expression on his face.

Since her mental strength was enhanced and she began learning martial arts, Lin Xi noticed that her senses had become more acute, and she sensed a malicious gaze.

Lin Xi followed the gaze and met it just as Manager Lin was about to look away.

Looking at her captivating face, Manager Lin secretly felt it was a pity.

He returned her a friendly smile, and Lin Xi calmly looked away, continuing her casual conversation with An An.

"You filthy bastard, after seeing what happened today, what do you still have to be arrogant about?" Manager Lin sat down with a gloomy expression.

It's finally her turn to shine. Today, she specially borrowed a friend's card to come over, with the aim of establishing herself as a rich and beautiful woman.

Qiaoqiao picked up the microphone, slowly stood up, and turned to the people present.

"Everyone, please enjoy your meal and drinks today. Feel free to order anything you like; it's on me."

"Wow, Qiaoqiao is really generous, then we'll definitely go for it."

"It's alright, go ahead and order," Qiaoqiao gestured to the person next to her.

"Sigh, unlike some people, who only treat others to a meal that costs a few hundred yuan."

"Qiaoqiao is a rich, beautiful, and successful woman; how can you compare to her?"

"That's true."

Just as An'an was about to erupt, Lin Xi stopped her and shook her head.

Qiaoqiao's lips curled up, and she glanced smugly in Lin Xi's direction. Finding that Lin Xi hadn't even looked up, she was secretly annoyed, her expression turning slightly displeased, but she quickly composed herself.

The short-haired woman handed them the menu she had prepared in advance.

Everyone took the menu and ordered one by one. When it was Lin Xi's turn, Qiaoqiao brought over her drink, her eyes filled with provocation, "Xi Xi, take a look at what you like to eat and order whatever you like."

"Xixi, it's rare to eat such a nice meal. You should thank Qiaoqiao quickly, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get into such a high-class place."

No one could stand her pretentious, aloof demeanor.

"Yes, after all, only members can enter this private room."

"Are you sure this is the whole menu?" Lin Xi asked Qiaoqiao with a relaxed expression.
