Quickly, Hao Zhi Ruo stepped forward to help her search the needed slide but all the files she had were the sa.
She turned her head to look at her boss and shook her head.
The frustration was etched deep now. Hao Zhi Ruo could see her boss falling apart. She had obviously never being in this kind of a ss before and now, she was at a loss of what to do.
After so minutes of Li Xiu trying but failing, she imdiately feigned being unwell and that the eting should be adjourned.
Technically though, she didn’t lie, she only exaggerated her stress and headache.
Like the proper gentle man that he was, he excused her and left the eting room.
Honestly speaking Mr. Kang was ga disappointed but sothing about the whole eting left an impression on him.
By the ti they got outside the building, he turned around and looked back up.
The two n standing beside him stopped and followed his line of gaze as well.
"They bear the sa surna or is Jing just her alias na?" Mr. Kanga asked one of his business associate with him.
"Sir, I presu that is the rumored adopted daughter of the Li family, although there are rumors that she was adopted to cover up Mr. Li’s lie of being unfaithful to his wife." The second man responded to his question.
"I see. Then from the looks of things, it was her sister who prepared the slide."
"Then they are just a family of failures if you ask ," the first man confessed.
"Hahaha hahaha. Is that what you think?" Mr. Kanga asked admist laughing.
"Sir?"
"You saw wrong."
"How do you an sir?"
"You see, even though the slides were more or less useless, I could still see the potential from so of the slides. I need to et with this Li Jing. Request for a eting to be scheduled if they want us to partner with them and this ti let the actual owner of the slides, do the presentation."
"Yes sir."
With that, he turned back and walked over to the direction of his car.

anwhile, after Li Xiu was done with the biggest embarrassnt of her life, she returned to her office fuming with anger and slamd the door shut.
"Aish!! Arrrggghhhhh!! Li Jingggg!!!"
She was a big ss. Her mind was going to bunkers already.
"What did I do to deserve such rubbish? Bloody hell. How dare you!! Aishh!"
Li Xiu raised her hands to her hair and scattered the perfectly packed hair then proceeded to throw the files on her table away.
Her chest headed up and down with every action as her breathing beca ragged and uneven.
Right now she couldn’t care less about her appearance. All that mattered to her was how she made a fool of herself.
"It shouldn’t be who should have suffered such embarrassnt. It should have been her, Li Jing. She should suffer everything and go through all my stress as compensation for the pain my mother have to suffer for her slutty mother. Arghhh!!"

Just outside of her office, Hao Zhi Ruo was about going to her own office when she was intercepted by Yang Yan i.
"Hao Zhi Ruo!"
Hao Zhi Ruo stopped and turned to the direction she heard her na from.
’Now what does she want?’ Hao Zhi Ruo thought.
"Yes?"
"Hey, what’s up with the frown?" Yang Yan i asked her.
Of ncourse Hao Zhi Ruo did not need soone to tell her that the concern this demoness was showing was clearly fake.
She normally did that when see was out to gossip and get information or worse, she wanted sothing from you.
"It is nothing."
"Hey don’t tell that, of course it is sothing. You are always cheerful on a normal day."
"Well today I do not feel like smiling much. Everyone gets tired of smiling once in a while and today is that day."
"Oh please, haha, you jest, Hao Zhi Ruo," Yang Yan i said with a laugh.
Unknown to her, Hao Zhi Ruo was not buying it and if only she could stop faking and co down from her high to look at the younger lady’s expression, she would know she did not jest.
After a minute, her fake laughter died down and she beca serious when Hao Zhi Ruo crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Fine, what happened with Miss Li Xiu?"
"What do you an?"
"Don’t play dumb with . You both went for the eting and she returned boiling with rage. What went on during the eting?"
"Yang Yan i," Hao Zhi Ruo calmly called her na.
"Yes?" Her eyes glimred with expectations as she looked at the young lady before her.
"If I recall correctly, you saw when Miss Li Xiu was returning right?"
"Yes, why?"
"Good. Since you saw her, why did you not walk up to her and ask her what had happened?"
"I do not understand. What do you an by that?" Yang Yan i did not know what had gotten into Hao Zhi Ruo for her to respond to her in such a way.
Normally, after Yang Yan i had sweet talked her, she would usually get her answer.
"Why do you look shocked? See, Yang Yan i, you better stop with your pocking nose and gossips or else, you would get in trouble. Now if you would excuse , I have better things to do."
Without another word, Hao Zhi Ruo walked out on Yang Yan i leaving the latter stunned and speechless.

After so minutes of throwing tantrums, Li Xiu finally settled down.
Her eyes darted to and fro in her office and suddenly a light glint flashed before her eyes.
"Got it."
Imdiately, she walked pass the pile of scattered files and pulled her seat out then sat down.
Quickly, she opened her laptop and began searching for sothing.
After a minute of searching, she found what she was looking for.
"Damn it!"
