Xi Haitang trembled all over the moment he stepped into the CEO's office. Gu Xijue, who was sitting behind the desk, still had the same calm expression, but his dark eyes were staring straight at her, like a hawk.
So sharp.
He sank into the black leather armchair, and the sunlight shining in through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows shrouded his whole body in a halo, but the cold air emanating from his body was dangerous and terrifying.
Her voice was as mellow as aged wine, fragrant and sweet but bone-chilling, "Miss Xi, in view of your low work efficiency, starting today, you will hand over some of your work to Team Leader Xu, and you will all be under the leadership of Vice President Liu.
.”
"What?!" Xi Haitang couldn't believe it, "President, the part of the work I am responsible for was given to me by Manager Fang before he went on vacation. Those information are very important encrypted files and cannot be taken over by anyone else!"
"Miss Xi, this is a collective project, not your own game, UNDERSTAND?!"
"But Manager Fang said..."
"I'm the president, and what I say works like a manager! Do you have any objections?!"
"...No." Xi Haitang caught a glimpse of the cool curve on Gu Xijue's lips, which meant that he would not compromise at all. He was used to issuing orders, and she could only obey.
She opened her eyes and heard him say seriously and rigorously to Liu Yaguang and Xu Manli, "I will never ignore public and private matters. In the face of the company's interests, all personal grudges are insignificant. You are all smart people and know what I am saying."
What, stop there. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"There is another thing that I believe you already know. Yesterday evening, the biggest competitor of 'Brilliant Jewelry', 'Celebrity Jewelry', released the latest news. They will also hold a jewelry exhibition. It is clear that they want to compete with us, so everyone must speed up.
The work is progressing and we are seizing the opportunity. The two companies will hold exhibitions at the same time. Whoever's work passes the test will win. 'Brilliant jewelry' was the most important thing to my mother during her lifetime, and I will never allow anyone to embarrass her!"
Xi Haitang gradually understood that Liu Yaguang was right, Gu Xijue's interests came first, he would not make the decision for her at all, all her grievances were in vain, and all of this was caused by him! Her heart was filled with tears.
Helpless and sad, as well as the sadness that is almost desperate, and the hatred that secretly grows.
After Liu Yaguang and Xu Manli left, Xi Haitang asked Gu Xijue with a pale face, "Is this too much for you?!"
He seemed to have heard something funny. After a slight smile, his tone rose and he asked, "When have I ever been kind?!"
His attitude was extremely bad, and the smugness in the corner of his mouth made her feel even more dazzling. Xi Haitang felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't say a word. Yes, it's not that she didn't know how bad he was, and he was like this
Her attitude makes her involuntarily afraid, but she will never compromise! The work assigned to her by Manager Fang is their joint efforts, and she must persist to the end no matter what!
"President, I can hand over part of the work, but I also want to participate in every aspect of the later work. This case was originally started by me, and I hope it will be completed from beginning to end."
"Okay, it's up to you." Gu Xijue agreed easily, lowering his eyes and no longer looking at her, "If nothing happens, you can go out."
The man's casual attitude made Xi Haitang feel very uncomfortable. The work she valued so much seemed worthless in his eyes. After going out, the strong disguise was secretly removed, and the feeling of helplessness surrounded her again. Too much.
The discomfort made her think flawlessly, how could Gu Xijue let Liu Yaguang go so easily?
