1219 Those Who Are Here To Make Up The Numbersn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He Wenxian smiled helplessly at everyone. âEveryone, Iâm really sorry. My assistant doesnât have any ill intentions. He just doesnât want some people to be here just to make up the numbers and have it ruin the final outcome. After all, everyone has been working hard for so longâ¦â
Everyone gasped and subconsciously looked at Qiao Xi. One of the young designers could not stand He Wenxianâs arrogance and was about to go forward to argue when he was stopped by his colleague beside him.
No matter what, He Wenxian was from He Corporation. Designers like them could not offend her, so this matter could only be handed to Mrs. Gu to handle herself.
Qiao Xi threw down the pen in her hand and lazily leaned against the table. She crossed her arms and asked casually, âMiss He, am I the person youâre talking about?â
The office was even quieter now. Everyone seemed to have stopped breathing.
He Wenxian did not panic at all and smiled gently. âMrs. Gu, Iâm not targeting you. I just didnât expect you to come to the company today.â
âSo you admit that Iâm just here to make up the numbers, Miss He?â Qiao Xiâs eyes were sharp as she looked coldly at her.
He Wenxian hurriedly explained, âMrs. Gu, Iâm notâ¦â
Before she could finish speaking, Assistant Wang stood up to defend her against the injustice. âEldest Miss, youâre just telling the truth! Why are you afraid of her?! A rich madam should be drinking tea at home and admiring the flowers, but she insisted on coming to Gu Corporation to design clothes. What good things can she design?! If the things she designs arenât good, not only will it affect He Corporationâs collaboration but itâll also ruin Liuli and Gu Corporationâs reputation!â
His voice was not loud, but the surrounding people could hear him. The design director frowned unhappily. The first time she found out that Qiao Xi was Gu Shan, she was very surprised. After all, Qiao Xi was only 20 years old and had such achievements at such a young age. It was enough to prove how much effort she had put into in designing.
The He family had yet to officially become a partner of Gu Corporation, yet they were already so arrogant. They were criticizing Mrs. Gu for not knowing how to design. When did outsiders have the right to interfere in Gu Corporationâs family matters?
The design director was just about to retort when he heard Qiao Xi chuckle. âSo, Miss He, you think that Iâm relying on my identity as Mrs. Gu to fool around in Gu Corporation, and the design department has no choice but to let me join because of my identity? Youâre afraid that my designs wonât be good and will affect Gu Corporationâs reputation, right?â
He Wenxianâs tone was still calm. âMrs. Gu, I really donât have any ill intentions. I just think that the matter of designing is no small matter. If youâd like to work in Gu Corporation, you can go to other departments. Actually, I donât care about this, but Iâm afraid outsiders will gossip.â
âOh?â Qiao Xi sneered. âThen where do you think I should go, Miss He? Can you help me arrange it?â
The design director at the side said angrily, âMiss He, Mrs. Gu is a designer in charge of supervising us!â
Assistant Wang said disdainfully, âItâs just a title. Itâs not strange for President Gu to arrange a position for Mrs. Gu. The specific design issues will still be decided by the design director.â
He Wenxian pretended to be unhappy and glared at her assistant. Then, she smiled helplessly. âMrs. Guâ¦â
Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes and asked meaningfully, âMiss He, since you can represent He Corporation to discuss business, why canât I be in charge here? Perhaps your job is just a title given to you too. Itâs not strange for the He family to arrange a position for you, Eldest Miss He. The companyâs specific matters still have to be decided by the president.â
She imitated Assistant Wangâs tone, and the assistant instantly retorted unhappily, âHow can you be the same as Eldest Miss? Sheâs a top student and has always been in charge of the He familyâs business, while youâ¦â
âShut up!â The design director could not take it anymore. She was a higher-up in Gu Corporation, so He Wenxian had to show her some respect. If He Corporation became a partner, this design director would be in charge of the subsequent docking.
Seeing that the design director was angry, He Wenxian hurriedly turned around and shot the assistant a look. Then, she said gently, âDirector Liu, calm down. Iâve spoiled my assistant too much, so sheâs a little straightforward. Mrs. Gu must be really talented to be able to enter the design departmentâ¦â
âMiss He, thatâs not what you meant just now. Who here canât tell?â The design director was furious. He was not afraid of offending He Wenxian. âArenât you beating about the bush just to say that Mrs. Gu relied on President Gu to enter the design department and doesnât have the ability at all?â
