Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Can’t Climb Up (1)_1

...

The sudden termination of the Fall-Winter product model contract caused quite a stir in the company. Everyone, be they from the design department or other departments, those merely interested in the gossip or genuinely concerned about the outcome, were all very interested in Xia Wan’an’s actions. As such, the entire day saw everyone whispering about Xia Wan’an.

However, Xia Wan’an didn’t give any instructions all day, attending meetings as usual, going out for lunch as per normal, and taking her afternoon nap at her desk... as if she had no involvement at all with the selection of the ambassador for the fall collection.

The most shocking thing for everyone was Xia Wan’an leaving the office an hour early due to the traditional family reunion dinner she goes to every night at the old mansion.

The second Xia Wan’an left the office, all hell broke loose in the design department.

"Is Director Xia giving up? Or has she come up with a better solution?"

"I think she’s giving up. If she really had a better solution, she should have told us and given us some tasks..."

"Such a huge mistake this time, even if she is Madam Han, she can’t withstand the pressure from the board of directors, right? Do you think she’ll resign and go home to be a socialite?"

"If she does resign, who do you think will be promoted to be our new director?"

...

Completely unaware that the entire company was discussing her, Xia Wan’an bought a tea from a nearby bubble tea shop when she got downstairs to find her car hadn’t yet arrived.

As Xia Wan’an walked towards the company’s front door leisurely drinking her tea, she happened to see Chi Yao leaving the Han Family Building.

Coincidentally, Chi Yao also saw her.

Their eyes met for a second and then Xia Wan’an acted as if she hadn’t seen Chi Yao. She casually sipped her drink whilst looking at the somewhat congested road ahead.

"Miss Xia... I mean, Madam Han, what a coincidence." After less than a half-minute, Xia Wan’an heard approaching footsteps and then Chi Yao’s voice.

Xia Wan’an didn’t loosen her lips from the straw and continued to sip the drink. She looked satisfied as her lips captured a piece of fruit.

"Miss Xia... well, Madam Han, it’s an old habit that I keep calling you Miss. So Madam Han, I heard about a massive screwup happening with the project under your charge. But, Madam Han, don’t take it to heart. Young people inevitably encounter some stumbling blocks in their climb upward... However, Madam Han, one should always keep their feet on the ground. Here’s a friendly reminder - be careful not to trip and fall!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Wan’an couldn’t help but snicker inwardly.

So it was him who was pulling the strings behind her back!

This sly old fox, his smile may seem affable, but he’s actually mocking her...

Xia Wan’an’s eyebrows knit together, her lip still not leaving the straw as she retorted, "Chi Yao, no need to worry about me. I’m light, so even if I stumble, it won’t hurt much. But you, on the other hand, with your hefty build, if you fall, you probably won’t be able to get up!"

A flash of anger appeared in Chi Yao’s smiling eyes. "I suppose I have to find out how long you can keep your witty retorts coming!"

"That might disappoint you, Chi Yao. Since I’m much younger than you, you probably will never get to see that day in your lifetime..."
