Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 26 A Newbie in the Workplace

Lu He hurriedly returned to his villa. He had promised Xia Lan that he would be back before dinner, but he accidentally made him late.

open the door.

"Xiao Lan! I'm back. I'm sorry, I..." Lu He said apologetically as she hurriedly took off her high heels.

"You're back~" Xia Lan came out, smiling as she stood at the restaurant entrance. Xiao Hua jumped out and ran around Lu He's feet. Xia Lan smiled gently, "Go wash your hands quickly, I'm waiting for you to finish eating~"

He had been worried that Xia Lan might feel wronged or unhappy because he was late, and he had even thought of a lot of excuses and apologies, but in the end, he didn't need to use any of them.

The two sat down at the table in a relaxed and pleasant manner. The service robot began to bring out the heated dishes, while the chef robot continued to prepare new dishes.

"I have to go to work on Monday. Is there anything you want to tell me, Mr. Wen?" Xia Lan rested her chin on her hand and looked at Lu He expectantly.

"Hmm~" Lu He's eyes darted around, and she thought of something to tease her: "Yes, you're not allowed to peek at the handsome guys in the department~ I'll get jealous~"

"Oh dear! You..." Xia Lan's face flushed red instantly, "Why do you always say such embarrassing things..."

Lu He loved seeing Xia Lan's easily teased expression: "Okay, I was just kidding." Although she wasn't sure if Xia Lan would fall for her, she still had to tease her. Even if she couldn't steal Xia Lan away, she could at least make her stop liking Duanmu Cong.

After all, one of the missions of this comic is to break up the male and female protagonists.

Furthermore, Duanmu Cong is now clearly showing some interest in Wen Shiyu. Should I try to win him over from both sides, so that the male lead is no longer devoted to the female lead?

In short, the villains must win!

on Monday.

Lu He drove Xia Lan to the company.

At the company's main entrance, Lu He dropped Xia Lan off in the car, and then went to the underground parking lot to park.

This scene was witnessed by two company employees who were buying coffee downstairs.

"Hey? Look, wasn't that Mr. Wen's car just now?" It was Xiao Ai who was holding the iced Americano.

"Yes, it really is Mr. Wen's car. Who is that girl who got out of the car?" Judy, who was standing to the side drinking a latte, said.

Xia Lan had to clock in on the first floor, so she couldn't go through the basement and got out of the car early. Although she protested and wanted to get out of the car 500 meters away from the company and walk over, Lu He rejected her request.

In Lu He's words, you got in through your own abilities, so just be open and aboveboard. There's no need to sneak around. Otherwise, if you're caught one day deliberately concealing your close relationship with me, it will be even harder to explain.

Xia Lan arrived at the entrance of the "7.8 Activity Project Team," her first project during her internship. Project supervisor Johnny approached, glanced at her, and said, "Hmm, quite proactive. You arrived ten minutes early, no rushing to work. Not bad, not bad." His voice was somewhat effeminate, and his gestures, tone, and demeanor... well, you could tell he was an art connoisseur. He raised a finger to his finely manicured eyebrows. "I'm supervisor Johnny. Come with me."

Xia Lan obediently followed Johnny to the innermost workstation.

Johnny: "Xu Chen, take care of the interns." He said to a man in a suit and tie with gold-rimmed glasses.

Xu Chen didn't look up; he was still drawing the design on his drawing tablet. He simply replied, "Okay, I understand."

Johnny gave Xia Lan a look that signaled her to stay, then turned and left.

"Hello, my name is Xia Lan, Master Xu...?" Xia Lan was a little reserved. Although she had been working as Duanmu Cong's assistant, it wasn't really a workplace. Apart from interacting with A-Cong, she hardly had to deal with anyone else. There was no work-related communication, only taking care of A-Cong...

Right now, she's a complete newbie in the workplace.

The first lesson she needed to learn was how to get along with her colleagues.

"Don't call me Master...it sounds awful!" Xu Chen stopped what he was doing, adjusted his glasses, and finally looked up at Xia Lan directly: "You're the intern?"

"Yes, that's right." Xia Lan bowed humbly.

"No need to be so polite, just call me Xu Chen." Xu Chen carefully looked Xia Lan up and down before looking away: "Have you done design work before?"

"No……"

"Where's the project proposal?"

"No……"

“…Why don’t you just tell me what you can do?” Before she could answer, Xu Chen sighed: “It’s okay, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t done it before. I’ve looked at your resume, you know all the office software anyway. Add me on WeChat, I’ll send you some previous case materials, you can take a look at them in the next few days.”

Xu Chen opened a folder on his computer and said, "This contains the planning documents for the 7th and 8th anniversary celebrations over the years, as well as design drafts, product promotion materials, and so on. Take a look at them, and we can talk about other things in three days."

"Okay." Xia Lan nodded obediently, then took out her phone and scanned Xu Chen's friend code.

Xia Lan got her first WeChat account in the company.

"Hey, look! Isn't that girl over there with Xu Chen the one that President Wen brought today?" Xiao Ai spotted Xia Lan first, then nudged Judy with her elbow.

"What's she doing here? And she knows Xu Chen too?" Judy asked疑惑地, then turned to her colleague and asked, "Da Hai, who is that girl?"

"The new intern, I think her name is Xia Lan, she's in the same department as us. Johnny arranged for Xu Chen to mentor her." Da Hai typed away on the copy, chattering away as he went: "I have to say, the overall attractiveness of our department has been raised again, this girl is really pretty."

“It really is beautiful,” Xiao Ai agreed.

"What's the use of being pretty? You need real skills to stay here." Judy rolled her eyes. It's not even certain whether the interns will be able to stay.

"Someone personally brought by President Wen must be capable, after all, President Wen appreciates him." Xiao Ai thought that Xia Lan must be no ordinary person.

“That makes sense.” Judy thought for a moment, then shook her head. “Let’s wait until she achieves results. The people in our department who I, Judy, can trust are all truly capable.”

"You mean she was brought by General Manager Wen personally?" Da Hai's gossip instincts kicked in. "What's their relationship? Are they relatives? They don't even share the same surname."

Three people are cricketing here.

"What are you all doing? Aren't you supposed to be working?" Johnny walked by and glared at the three of them. These employees were slacking off again.
