Liang Xi Cheng"s words were clearly directed toward Yan Liang. She wasn"t an idiot. Of course she heard his implication. He was belittling Bai Yan Liang for relaying on her connection with Liang Jing Shan to get into EC and the general manager"s secretary position.
She was always never one to easily concede defeat. Especially right now in front of so many people, his words just now were like a heavy and ruthless slap. There was no quarter shown when it hit her. Pain, she could endure. But she couldn"t endure the hard work she put in all these years to be utterly denied by his words!
Yan Liang tightly clenched her hands by her sides. Her raised her head, lower jaw thrust out in defiance, "Chairman Liang, I admit my mistake, but n.o.body is perfect. It is human to make mistakes. I"m not arguing in my defense. I simply don"t agree with what you just said. It seems like once a person makes a mistake, then it completely overrides their previous handwork."
Liang Xi Cheng had originally planned to get up and leave the conference room. However he didn"t expect the woman across from him with a face filled with defiance to refute his words.
He abruptly narrowed his dark eyes. His movements to get up were subconsciously stilled.
The room was lit like daytime, yet the atmosphere suddenly condensed into a chilly air. Every department manager was in the room. In that moment, none of them dared to breathe loudly.
Does this Bai Yan Liang want to be fired?
Actually being lectured just now wasn"t a big deal. But now she was refuting Liang Xi Cheng"s words. If this wasn"t digging her own grave, then what was?
Just at this time Yan Liang felt she was bit too impulsive, but she certainly didn"t regret it. Why should her hard work be wiped clean because of one mistake? Any person can question her, but the Liang family"s people couldn"t!
Liang Jing Shan stole her boyfriend. For what reason now was Liang Xi Cheng also denying her this way?
She admits she has a little personal grudge, but she isn"t a saint. She really can"t control herself anymore!
"Your hard work?" After a long silence, Liang Xi Cheng finally spoke. Within his indifferent tone every word was as sharp as ever, "Secretary Bai, I hope you know your so-called hard work isn"t based off of your words. We don"t do business like salespeople. It"s based on the numbers in your hand. Understood?"
Yan Liang swallowed her spit. She couldn"t help gripping the file even harder.
Across from her the man"s eyes, which clearly saw right from wrong, had an undercurrent rising up. The light above his head shone down on his body. It caused the light in his eye to be suddenly bright yet dark. It made people unable to know yet also know dread.
She could tell Liang Xi Cheng was already very impatient.
Truth, how could someone high up like him put up with his own subordinate questioning his authority?
However she already spoken up to this point. There was no sense in sounding the retreat!
Yan Liang nibbled on her lip. In the end she still said, "Chairman Liang, I don"t mean anything else. I told you I admit my mistake. If you feel EC doesn"t need an employee like me, I"m willing to take responsibility and resign. But I definitely didn"t rely on connections to get to where I am today! I just want you to be able to realize just because one mistake was made that it wipes away all of their hard work. Chairman Liang, have you never made a mistake before? When you make mistakes do you reject yourself?"
