Chapter 40 Punishment
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't a petty person, but this visit to Li Chenxu's company made her realize one thing: she had to change her public image regarding her relationship with Li Chenxu. Otherwise, even a lowly receptionist like him would give her attitude. More importantly, if this matter wasn't resolved, it would be troublesome if bigger problems arose later.
After saying that, without paying attention to the unpleasant faces of the receptionists, Mu Xiaoyu glanced at the signs and wanted to get on the elevator.
However, after taking only two steps, he was pushed from behind.
"You'll have to see if we agree before you can go up there. Where did this lowly wretch come from, thinking she's something special!"
Mu Xiaoyu never expected anyone to dare to do this, and caught off guard, the lunchbox in her hand fell directly to the ground. Luckily, the lunchbox was sturdy and didn't crack when it hit the ground, but the food inside was definitely ruined.
Originally, Mu Xiaoyu was too lazy to waste time with these receptionists, but now if she didn't do something, they would really think she was a dead rat!
However, just as Mu Xiaoyu was preparing to retaliate, a familiar voice came from nearby.
"What are you doing!"
Li Chenxu's icy voice echoed in her ears. Mu Xiaoyu looked over and saw that Li Chenxu had appeared at some point. When his gaze fell on the lunchbox on the ground and the cold, stern face of the receptionist towards Mu Xiaoyu, his handsome face instantly turned extremely gloomy.
The company's receptionist never considered Mu Xiaoyu to be Mrs. Li. Seeing Li Chenxu arrive, she expected him to scold Mu Xiaoyu. However, as soon as Li Chenxu walked in, he took Mu Xiaoyu's hand in his and asked with concern, "Are you alright? Is your hand hurt? Does it hurt?"
While Li Chenxu doesn't always wear a cold expression in public, most of the time his face is expressionless, making it almost impossible to read his emotions. But now, Mu Xiaoyu isn't injured at all; she was just pushed, yet she's become so tense.
Anyone with a modicum of eyes could probably see just how much Li Chenxu cherished Mu Xiaoyu.
In that instant, Mu Xiaoyu's anger vanished. Ignoring the stares of others, Mu Xiaoyu hugged Li Chenxu, rested her head on his chest, and said with some grievance, "The people from your company wouldn't let me in, and they even said I'm a worthless piece of trash."
Her tone was so aggrieved and pitiful that it broke Li Chenxu's heart.
He quickly reached out and gently patted Mu Xiaoyu's back, saying softly, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. Don't worry... I'll make sure anyone who dares to bully you gets away with it."
Even though Li Chenxu's voice was extremely gentle at this moment, his words made the company's receptionists turn pale instantly. Especially the receptionist who had pushed Mu Xiaoyu earlier, who was trembling with fear, as if she was about to faint at any moment.
He looked quite pitiful, but Mu Xiaoyu hadn't forgotten how this person had treated her just moments before.
Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself, and she said that if she found Li Chenxu, she wouldn't let them get away with it.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu left Li Chenxu's embrace, picked up the lunchbox from the ground again, pouted slightly, and said to Li Chenxu with a regretful expression, "I've never cooked for you before. I finally came today, but this happened. I'm afraid we can't eat this food."
No matter what kind of man it is, he would be very happy if his beloved woman cooked and brought him meals. But if he saw his woman being bullied because of this, even if it seemed like a small thing to outsiders, he would definitely not see it as a small matter.
He wouldn't even touch his own little Yu, yet others bullied her. How could he just stand by and do nothing?
So almost the instant Mu Xiaoyu finished speaking, Li Chenxu immediately looked at the few receptionists in front of him who were already trembling. His sinister eyes swept over everyone present, and finally he let out a cold laugh.
“I used to think everyone in the company was very disciplined, but now it seems I've been too lax in managing the company. Now even a few lowly receptionists dare to verbally abuse my wife! Tell me, how should I deal with people like this?”
Those who work at Li's company, regardless of their position, are all seasoned veterans in the industry. Therefore, they are well aware of Li Chenxu's powerful background. Now that they have offended Mu Xiaoyu, it's probably not just a simple matter of being fired; something far more terrifying is yet to come.
Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, the receptionist who had pushed Mu Xiaoyu earlier was so frightened that she immediately knelt down, tears streaming down her face, and pleaded with Mu Xiaoyu, "Madam, I know I was wrong. I... I was really out of my mind just now, I didn't mean to. I promise I will never do it again, I really won't..."
The girl looked to be around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, and now her face was covered in snot and tears from crying; she looked utterly pathetic. She must have done something morally reprehensible; there was no need to push her to this point.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't bear it after all, so she secretly tugged at Li Chenxu's sleeve and whispered, "Why don't we just let it go and fire the person? Let's not worry about anything else."
In fact, Li Chenxu is just like Mu Xiaoyu; he is someone who is too lazy to fuss over many things. After all, if you really fuss over so many things, how can you possibly fuss over every single one of the many things in the world that make you angry?
But when it involves someone you like, the nature of the matter changes.
Li Chenxu not only needs to be concerned, but he needs to be very careful about it, otherwise those people will come out again and really think that Mu Xiaoyu is not important to him!
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Li Chenxu simply grasped Mu Xiaoyu's hand and then firmly shook his head: "This is your first time at the company. If this matter is not handled seriously and the people in the company are not taught a lesson, what if someone tries to take advantage of you again in the future? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I won't go too far."
His words were full of protection and doting on Mu Xiaoyu. Since things had already come to this point, and Li Chenxu had his own plans, there was no need for Mu Xiaoyu to say anything more.
So she didn't say anything more, but just stood quietly beside Li Chenxu, waiting for his decision.
“You are all receptionists, yet you lack the proper attitude and etiquette. Whether here or in other companies, you probably don’t have the ability to do this job. In that case, you don’t need to continue doing this job.”
