Chapter 340: Chapter 340: I Sleepwalked to the Wrong Place (2)_1

"...I’ve sleepwalked to the wrong place..."

Someone in the office "pfft" giggled.

Han Jingnian, having diverted his gaze from Xia Wan’an, looked in the direction of the laughter. It was Zhang Te, his assistant, who held a cup of coffee, concealing his chuckle while revealing two lines of teeth grinning.

The color drained from Han Jingnian’s face instantly. Feeling his boss’s icy stare, Zhang Te quickly wiped the smile off his face and pretended to sip his coffee.

No sooner had Han Jingnian looked away, when Zhang Te noticed another pair of eyes on him. He looked up and met the furious gaze of Xia Wan’an.

The coffee that Zhang Te was about to swallow got lodged in his throat as he thought, "...Am I being attacked on two fronts now?"

However, Xia Wan’an only glared at Zhang Te for a second or two before her face turned beet red.

She had just blurted out in front of a room full of shareholders, that she sleepwalked to the wrong place?

Damn, wasn’t it supposed to be Chi Mu in the office? It was obviously her father, Chi Yao!

In the midst of Xia Wan’an’s meltdown, someone spoke up, "This is Miss Xia Wan’an, who just got promoted to the Director of the Design department today?"

Shareholder C: "Mr. Han, assigning such a young girl the position of Director seems too impetuous, don’t you think?"

Shareholder D: "Yes, Mr. Han. Look, she’s sleep-talking during office hours, is our company paying her to nap here?"

"..."

Xia Wan’an blinked at their words, finally realizing what they meant.

They were implying that she was unfit for the position?

As Xia Wan’an mulled over it, someone else started to speak. She knew the person, his name was Chi Yao, also known as Chi Mu’s father.

Chi Yao: "Mr. Han, I seriously think Miss Xia is not suitable. After all, we’re running a bona fide business, not playing house. We better leave Miss Xia at home as a flower vase. I suggest Fan Ming is more qualified for the role of Director of the Design department!"

Xia Wan’an’s brow furrowed momentarily.

Leave me at home like a flower vase...? Are they really that dismissive of me?

Thinking this, Xia Wan’an lifted her head and asked, "Mr. Chi, are you referring to me?"

Chi Yao paid no attention to Xia Wan’an, or perhaps, he was just too disdainful to even respond to her.

Han Jingnian’s facial expression instantly darkened, his eyes filled with displeasure.

Xia Wan’an stared at Chi Yao for a moment, then she sashayed into Han Jingnian’s office in her high heels. Once she closed the door behind her, she turned to Chi Yao and said, "Mr. Chi, if I’m so worthless in your eyes, then I guess you wouldn’t care for my works either, would you? If that’s the case, please return my ’Meet’ to me!"

Han Jingnian, who was about to speak, closed his mouth.

Seeing Han hadn’t reacted, Zhang Te also stayed silent.

Chi Yao looked disgruntled by Xia Wan’an’s remark, yet he managed to remain composed, considering his wealth of experience, "Miss Xia, your comment is humorous. I didn’t receive the ’Meet’ as you say. So, why would I return it to you?"

"I haven’t given ’Meet’ to you, it was a design that I reluctantly gave to the company, purely out of respect for Mr. Han. However, my ’Meet’, even before its launch, solely on the basis of the promotional film trailer, have already surpassed the previous sales record. Surely this money would matter to you all, right?"

"I guess all the respecting shareholders here, who look down upon me, wouldn’t want to profit from my work either. After all, you all are dignified people. Surely you must also have some integrity and pride, right?"
