"Miss, why do you always have to do everything yourself? Isn’t Jiang Chen in Kyoto? Why do you have to be the one to co?"
Receiving the news about another eting at Great Wall Group, Youmao couldn’t help but feel it’s unfair to Princess Cao.
Great Wall isn’t even completely Miss’s company, and she’s not even the largest shareholder. Just because she’s a local from Kyoto, does that an she has to work tirelessly and selflessly?
Isn’t this just taking advantage of an honest person?
"He can’t handle it."
"This he can’t handle, that he can’t handle, what can he actually do then?"
Youmao felt her frustration rise, and her local dialect slipped out in her agitation.
Cao Jinse remained silent as she drove into the open-air parking lot in front of the Great Wall Building and parked in the reserved spot.
Youmao, sitting majestically in the back, opened the door and jumped out, still complaining incessantly.
"Miss, you’re just too kind. You can’t be soft-hearted when dealing with n..."
Cao Jinse instinctively tuned her out and walked into the building.
"President Cao."
"Where."
The secretary of the board of directors approached with an unusual gleam in his eyes, quickly concealed, and gestured respectfully, "This way, please follow ."
Since the establishnt of Great Wall Group, it has developed rapidly. The headquarters is grand and luxurious, with countless eting rooms. When the secretary opened a eting room door on their behalf, Youmao, following her miss inside, was surprised to find it empty and deserted.
What does this an?
Is Miss supposed to wait for them?
Affected by the warm weather recently, Youmao felt her anger stir.
Outrageous!
How can everyone bully Miss like this?
Just as she was about to lose her temper, even though technically she didn’t even have the qualifications to enter this eting room, she caught a glimpse of a shadow silently sitting at the eting table.
This sight instantly extinguished her anger.
She looked more closely, and her expression beca even more vivid than that of the secretary, changing repeatedly before settling on sothing peculiar.
Walked right into the trap, didn’t she?
Compared to Youmao, Cao Jinse’s reaction was much calr, possibly because she already knew who had summoned her for this "eting."
The secretary stayed outside, wisely closing the door.
Youmao huffed indifferently, following Cao Jinse further into the eting room.
Though she wasn’t a Great Wall employee or a shareholder, she had attended every eting that involved Princess Cao.
Each ti, an extra chair was set up for her beside Princess Cao, giving it a slightly regal feel.
This eting room was far from the largest by Great Wall’s standards. Given the current situation, it was likely an executive closed-door eting, with only three people, including Youmao, so it was enough for the purpose. Bigger isn’t always better.
The first to arrive, or rather, the initiator of this eting, sat confidently on the right, watching as Princess Cao pulled out a chair and sat across from her.
"Idle people should leave."
No chair was prepared for her today, so Youmao was just about to find a spot to sit at the table when she heard a light remark.
"Who’s idle?"
Youmao, utterly unfamiliar with social graces, especially when dealing with an adversary, shot back imdiately, raising her eyebrows and scrunching her little nose, glaring fiercely at the person opposite.
Admittedly, with her appearance and deanor, no matter how "fierce" she tried to seem, she didn’t present any real threat, but Youmao had one advantage.
She was bold and practiced what she preached.
If Cao Jinse gave the order, no room could truly obstruct her.
Shi Qianxi quieted down.
Hmm.
Don’t stoop to a child’s level.
"You should go out first."
Cao Jinse spoke.
Youmao was incredulous, turning her head.
How could she leave?
What if a fight broke out later?
But Miss ignored her, having already sat down.
Seeing that Miss had no intention of reversing her order, Youmao, despite her reluctance, couldn’t defy her instructions at this mont.
That would be truly laughable.
With a "warning" look, Youmao restrained her temper and, unwillingly turning to leave, left one last statent.
"I’ll be right outside. Miss, call if anything happens."
Tsk.
Such a sense of security.
"Why would she think you’d be bullied?"
After Youmao left, Shi Qianxi looked calmly at the woman across from her and spoke.
The first round of confrontation.
She felt she perford ideally, at least she was quite satisfied with herself.
Cao Jinse leaned leisurely against the chair back, appearing extrely relaxed. After all, compared to Shi Qianxi, who was a newcor, Great Wall could be considered her ho ground.
Of course.
The other party employed tiny tricks, seemingly altering the situation.
However.
No matter.
The truth remains the truth.
It’s not sothing that can be obscured by little tricks, at most, they are just self-deceptive.
"The little rabbit has a keen sense. Perhaps Miss Shi made her uneasy."
Shi Qianxi squinted her eyes and then snorted with laughter.
"Didn’t expect President Cao to be so humorous."
Though both were partners in Shen Zhou, one was called Miss Shi, while the other was referred to as President Cao.
Estranged.
Truly estranged.
But it’s understandable.
After all, the number of tis they truly interacted with each other could be counted on one hand, and sitting together face-to-face with no buffer like this was unprecedented.
I don’t know if soone is here today at Great Wall. Ideally, he should attend this eting because, regardless of the agenda, the combined votes of just Director Shi and Princess Cao would not suffice for a 50% decision.
