Ling Chuxia felt concerned about this, and Bai Yixuan was sowhat surprised, but then he thought it was normal since she was also an employee of the company, and more importantly, her question seed to show concern for him.
Warmth deepened in Bai Yixuan’s eyes as he answered truthfully, "This collaboration is the biggest one our company has in the second half of the year, so naturally, it’s very important. As you know, I have only recently taken over the managent of the company, and many directors still doubt my capabilities, not to ntion——"
Bai Yixuan suddenly paused mid-sentence, his eyes flickering as if he rembered sothing, but he didn’t continue, just smiled.
The part that Bai Yixuan didn’t finish, Ling Chuxia already knew. Although she hadn’t been at the company for long, she had heard plenty of the smaller gossips within.
Although Bai Yixuan was Mr. Bai’s only son, Mr. Bai had a daughter from a different mother, and Bai Yixuan was Mr. Bai’s illegitimate child from an affair. Naturally, Mr. Bai’s legitimate wife wouldn’t tolerate Bai Yixuan. The company, originally solely inherited by her daughter, now had Bai Yixuan stepping into the picture, which was sothing she was not willing to accept. Always a dominant woman, even though Mr. Bai supported Bai Yixuan to beco the General Manager, both Mrs. Bai and Miss Bai were constantly watching, always thinking about how to remove Bai Yixuan from his position as General Manager, and take away his right of inheritance.
Listening to the brief conversation he just had on the phone, it was clear that Chairman Bai was putting a lot of pressure on Bai Yixuan. Hence, this collaboration was an opportunity for him to prove his capabilities to everyone. Otherwise, Mrs. Bai and Miss Bai would definitely find fault with him and make it impossible for him to continue as the General Manager, losing his inheritance rights.
Ling Chuxia’s eyes sharpened slightly. Considering today’s circumstance, when Shi Che had left without even eating, clearly he didn’t want to sign the contract, so that must be why the manager was so urgently calling Brother Xuan, right?
Could it be because of her? She had an unpleasant altercation with Shi Che, and before negotiations had even begun...
Ling Chuxia’s hands clenched suddenly, the light in her eyes flickering uncertainly.
After Bai Yixuan finished speaking and saw Ling Chuxia not responding and looking sowhat dazed, he thought she was worried about him, and couldn’t help but reassure her, "Xiaxia, don’t worry about . I will definitely secure this collaboration."
Although she heard Bai Yixuan’s words, Ling Chuxia couldn’t relax. She wasn’t sure what Shi Che was like in business matters, but... she was very aware of his disdain for her... if, because of her, he took out his anger on this collaboration...
Ling Chuxia’s heart skipped a beat, and she beca anxious.
"Xiaxia? What’s wrong?"
Bai Yixuan noticed that Ling Chuxia’s complexion was off, his eyebrows knitted slightly, and his voice couldn’t help carrying a hint of concern.
Hearing his gentle voice, Ling Chuxia jerked back to reality, her pupils moving around in slight panic, and she instinctively responded, "No, I’m fine."
But Bai Yixuan’s brows furrowed tighter, "Xiaxia, you look unwell. It must be from the rain earlier. Hurry and have so ginger soup, and I’ll make you a cup of cold dicine. After drinking it, cover yourself with a blanket and rest well, okay?"
At this mont, Ling Chuxia was too emotionally scattered to explain to Bai Yixuan, so she simply followed his suggestion, her eyes cast down, slowly nodding, "Mm, I understand, Brother Xuan."
