1253 This Seat Belongs To Me
No one was interested in the restoration of cultural relics, but after all, the Xia family was collaborating with the Luo family this time. Hence, they had also learned about this beforehand. They heard that a scroll that the professors spent a lot of effort to restore six years ago was finally restored by a young lady who called herself the ‘Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor’. Moreover, she used a special method. There were no traces of the restoration at all. At that time, this matter caused a sensation in the industry.
However, no one expected that the young lady was Xia Mengyan.
Xia Mengyan smiled in embarra.s.sment. “I’m not as good as you make me out to be. Maybe I’m just lucky. I still have to work harder in the future. I don’t have much work experience, and I’m still lacking in ability. I hope you can help me. The company will rely on all of you in the future.”
Her words were very beautiful. She did not directly admit that she was the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, but her words implied that. In everyone’s eyes, she was being humble. Moreover, even though she was already so outstanding, she was still very respectful to everyone and asked to rely on her seniors. Everyone felt smug when they heard her words and thought highly of the daughter of the Xia family.
!!
In the past, they did not accept Xia Mengyan when she joined the company because she was the daughter of an illegitimate child. However, when everyone heard these words, they could not help but waver.
Although Xia Mengyan was Xia Ji’s daughter, she was much more outstanding than him. Xia Ji was stupid and useless, while Xia Mengyan was the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. Not only could she manage the company, but she could also lead the collaboration between the Xia and Luo families. The heir Xia Cheng had nurtured since he was young was really different!
Everyone smiled in satisfaction, but someone suddenly asked, “Chairman Xia, we naturally agree to let Miss Mengyan be the a.s.sistant of the person in charge, but if Miss Qiao is unwilling—”
Xia Cheng said arrogantly, “This is a collaboration with the Xia family. Even if Xi Xi is the person in charge, we can’t let her do as she pleases. We can’t just watch her ruin the collaboration. Moreover, Mengyan knows restoration technology and can help her at work. Qiao Xi has no reason to disagree!”
Seeing that Xia Cheng had already decided, everyone smiled and echoed, “Chairman Xia, you’re right!”
“Miss Qiao is the person in charge chosen by the Luo family, but she’s not as outstanding as Miss Mengyan. Moreover, the fate of our Xia Corporation can’t be handed to a little girl!”
“Miss Mengyan, we’ll leave the collaboration with the Luo family to you. We believe that you’ll definitely succeed!”
Xia Mengyan had a smile on her face as she said shyly, “I’ll do my best. It’s just that when Xi Xi comes later, don’t say such things in front of her. I’m afraid she’ll be unhappy. After all, she’s the person in charge. We still have to listen to her opinion.”
The higher-up from earlier knew that Xia Cheng did not like Qiao Xi, so he instantly grunted coldly when he heard this. “Why should we listen to her? We informed her of the meeting yesterday. It’s already come to this point, yet she hasn’t arrived yet. She hasn’t even called. She’s so irresponsible. How can we be at ease handing the collaboration to her?”
“That’s right! She doesn’t look reliable. Fortunately, there’s Miss Mengyan. She’ll definitely facilitate the collaboration. Qiao Xi only relied on Gu Zheng’s power to get to this position. She can still—”
“Is there a problem with me relying on my own husband? Is this gentleman jealous of me because he doesn’t have anyone to rely on?” A cold female voice interrupted the higher-up.
The entire venue was silent. The higher-up swallowed the words in his mouth, and his face was ashen as he looked at Qiao Xi in shock and fear.
Qiao Xi stood at the door and wore a simple suit, but she had fully released her aura. Her tone was icy-cold. “Since everyone doesn’t want me to be the person in charge, I’ll go talk to Young Master Luo. I’ll get him to quickly replace me!”f??e????oѵ?Ɩ.c??
Everyone from Xia Corporation was stunned for a moment. They were dissatisfied, but they did not dare to criticize Qiao Xi in front of everyone. She was the person in charge that Luo Qing had acknowledged. If she went to look for Luo Qing and said that she wanted to withdraw, Luo Qing would definitely not agree. Perhaps the collaboration would be canceled.
“If there are no objections, I’ll still be the person in charge.” Qiao Xi pointed at the middle position. “Then this position should belong to me, right?”
That seat was where Xia Mengyan was sitting. After she entered, she took the opportunity to sit there. No one thought that it was inappropriate. Now that Qiao Xi had asked Xia Mengyan to give up her seat, it angered the higher-up from earlier. He said unhappily, “Miss Qiao, there’s an empty seat beside you. Why do you have to s.n.a.t.c.h Miss Xia’s?”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll go look for Young Master Luo now.” Qiao Xi’s tone was very calm, but her words terrified everyone.
