1254 Let Her Be Your Assistant

Qiao Xi did not take these people seriously at all and directly took out her phone. The higher-up’s expression changed abruptly. “Miss Qiao…”

“Xi Xi, I’ll give up my seat to you.” Xia Mengyan hurriedly stood up and smiled helplessly. Then, she found a corner seat and sat down. “It’s just a seat. I can sit anywhere. Xi Xi, quickly take a seat.”

Qiao Xi did not even bother to look at her. She sat arrogantly in the middle and did not care about the strange gazes from the surroundings.

Such arrogant behavior angered the shareholders and higher-ups so much that their faces turned red. One of the older higher-ups could not take it anymore. They had already made a concession by letting this brat be in charge. Now, not only was she late, but she was also showing off in front of them. She did not take them seriously at all!

!!

“Miss Qiao, we already informed you yesterday that the meeting would start at ten, but it’s already half past ten. We’ve been sitting here for half an hour!”

“That’s right! You’re late for the first meeting. How can we leave the collaboration to you?”

“Look at Miss Xia. She arrived half an hour earlier and even specially decorated the meeting hall. Why is the difference between you two so big?”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows, and her cold gaze landed on Xia Mengyan. Xia Mengyan’s face was pale as she moved her body uneasily.

The next second, Qiao Xi took out her phone and placed it on the table. She pressed the play button, and a recording sounded.

“Xi Xi, come to the company for a meeting tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. sharp. The company’s higher-ups and shareholders value this collaboration very much. As the person in charge, you must perform well.”

Xia Mengyan’s face was pale, and her lips were trembling slightly.

Qiao Xi picked up her phone and said casually, “Everyone, did you hear that? Am I late, or did someone deliberately inform me of the wrong time? It’s me this time, but if you inform Young Master Luo of the wrong time in the future, could it be that you’ll blame Young Master Luo for being irresponsible?”

The face of the higher-up who stood up just now turned red as he glared at Xia Mengyan. She bit her lip tightly, and her eyes turned red from grievance. “Xi Xi, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for making you late.”

“If you know your mistake, improve yourself. I hope you won’t make such a mistake in the future, Miss Xia. I can forgive you this time, but I can’t say the same if you repeat the mistake.”

Hearing Qiao Xi’s cold words, Xia Mengyan felt as if a rock was stuck in her throat, and her heart ached.

What right did Qiao Xi have to be so arrogant? She had just remembered the time wrongly. She had already admitted her mistake. What else did Qiao Xi want? Did she think that just because she became the person in charge, she could order her around? She was the eldest daughter of the Xia family!

Xia Mengyan lowered her head, and her eyes were filled with viciousness. She would not let this go. She would definitely find a chance to snatch back the position of the person in charge. She was clearly more outstanding than Qiao Xi. If it were not for Xia Yunqiu, the Luo family would absolutely not have chosen Qiao Xi to be the person in charge.

“It’s just a small matter. Forget it,” Xia Cheng said. There was some dissatisfaction in his eyes, but his tone was very gentle. “Xi Xi, we’ve already confirmed most of the matters regarding the collaboration. I asked you to come over today because I have something else to discuss with you.”

Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes. Her eyes were clear and calm like a lake. She looked indifferently at Xia Cheng and smiled lightly. “Alright, tell me.”

Seeing that Qiao Xi was still considered gentle, Xia Cheng went straight to the point. “Xi Xi, you’ve never been in charge of such an important collaboration before. Moreover, the Luo family has very high expectations. We can’t afford to make any mistakes!

“I know you’re capable, but the person in charge has too many things to do every day. I’m worried that you’ll tire yourself out, so I want to send someone to be your assistant.”

Qiao Xi had long seen through Xia Cheng’s thoughts, but she pretended to be puzzled and asked, “Who do you think is suitable?”

Xia Cheng shot the shareholders a look. One of the small shareholders who did not have a lot of shares stood up and said, “Miss Qiao, you should know that Miss Xia has been in charge of several company collaborations in the past and has completed all of them very well. Hence, it’s perfect for her to be your assistant. You’ll be much more relaxed, and we’ll be at ease too!

“Moreover, a portion of Miss Yunqiu’s designs are damaged and need to be restored. I heard that the Luo family’s restoration technology is top-notch, but Miss Qiao, you don’t know anything about it. It’s better not to get involved. If you accidentally damage the designs further, it’ll inevitably make the Luo family unhappy.

“Miss Xia has once learned ancient book restoration technology. Moreover, her ability has been affirmed by many professors in the industry. It’s most suitable for her to cooperate with the Luo family to restore the designs. Miss Qiao, what do you think?”
