He's totally seducing her...
"What is the product we developed recently? In five minutes I want to know the market needs, how deep your research, lackness, a problem arose." Xia Sha did not waste any time with the development team.
The big meeting room was filled with serious-looking people.
Her glance is sharp and cold, a little frown formed when one of the development crew stumble and almost fall. In short, she showing no mood to play around and wasting time.
The tension is high, as well as the stress level in the room keep arising. Xia Sha's beautiful face is even scarier than the usually frowning Mr.Xia.
After finishing the whole presentation, three creases appear on her forehead. She sighs and gently taps the wood table. She tilted her head while standing up.
"I hate to break this news to you, but we might fight head to head with the Ling Bright Electronic again if we wanted to launch this product at the end of the month." She looked at the screen with the speaker's picture.
"I think we should hold back on this speaker, do more research." Xia Sha needs to face reality, in comparison to Ling Guang's research team, Xia Corp research team is quite falling behind.
Xia Corp still standing right now despite the lack of innovation solely because of its brand value.
Most of them gasp. But few of them lower their head and play with a pen. Xia Sha especially took more notice on people that lowering their heads.
She calls out one of them and asks, "Mr.Khoo penny of your thought?"
Mr.Khoo is not surprised she calls out his name. A faint smile appears on his face, "Ms.Xia, you know the things I'd say might offend you..." He paused then looked up.
"Do you really want to hear it?"
Xia Sha smile aroused and she nods her head, firmly. She opens wide her arms and said, "I respect the human rights to speak."
Mr.Khoo stop and think for a second before he said, "You've betrayed us once for your fiancee, why should we listen to you now?"
Another man spoke up too and make Mr.Khoo's opinion stronger. "That's right, how could we know you are not stopping this into production to help the enemy side?"
"I believe our research team has done the best."
Xia Sha nods her head slowly, she did not take those doubts directed instead she looked at Fu Qun who seat beside her, typing something on the notebook.
In the next second, few names appear on the screen and left everyone speechless.
"This is the mole I planted on my father's company. These people also did not attend this meeting, until I make sure they are on my side." Xia Sha walked to the screen and gesture Fu Qun to move to the other slides.
The screen change into a picture of the speaker the Bright Electric wanted to launch along with the spect they have.
The people in the room immediately felt their speaker is a lack in comparison to the nicely designed speaker.
Xia Sha smiles wickedly, "Take this as a cheat, we know their product, and they don't know us. Also why I want to pending this project and rush you to make a new one instead."
The finance people speak up, saying that they've wasted a lot for the new speaker and if they did not launch anything this month, the financial book might be marked as read this month.
"I understand and have found the solution for that." Xia Sha spares a glance at Fu Qun and indirectly said, 'that is your job to get the investors time.'
"I also need to have a meeting with the CEO, CFO, and the higher-ups tomorrow. Today, I just wanted to inform you to stop this production and instead, produce a wireless earphone."
Fu Qun clicks the next slides and shows the 3D design of the product Xia Sha talking about.
"No, we can't use this, it's our fail product last year!"
"The surveys show that only 10% of citizen wanted to buy this, 8% of them is the YouTuber who create a review content."
The meeting room becomes crowded and Xia Sha is totally satisfied with it.

Right after the ruckus in the meeting room, Xia Sha did not have her lunch, instead, go back to her office and work again.
Xia Qi Feng really meant it when he said he will make Xia Sha clean up the mess she makes. He did not even bother to show up at the meeting.
2 P.M and she wonders did Fu Qun got the appointment with Mr.Lemiere.
It's a crucial time for Xia Corp right now. They need capital right now when their company name still selling. Otherwise, it will be hard for Xia Corp to stand up again.
Just as she gets a little bit jitters and nervous, a call from Fu Qun rang out. Swapping the green button she calm herself before asking, "How's going?"
"Err...Boss, when you said you can make up to Mr.Xiao, does it includes Mr.Xiao Yu?"
Xia Sha massage her temple immediately. Damn it, she should inform Xiao Zhan first. Xiao Yu is his older brother who famous for being vicious and business savvy.
"Did you got the deal though?"
"That... I was going to approached Mr.Lemiere but Mr.Xiao bought so many people with him."
"So, you didn't get it?" Xia Sha raised her eyebrow and reconfirm. Fu Qun silenced and Xia Sha did not need another way of confirmation.
"Come back to the office first, I'll figure out the other way."

Laugher felt the whole private floor followed by the sound of glass clinking against each other.
"I can sleep tight tonight after clarifying the misunderstanding with Mr.Guan." Meng Ran said with a beautiful smile.
Guan Xian grins eat his steak elegantly.
Xia Xiang blushed, just watching Guan Xian's gesture is enough to make her stomach felt with butterfly. She's glad she took Meng Ran out today.
"Oh, it's totally nothing. I just don't like Director Ling to use hand against a woman. It won't affect my judgment on the collaboration ahead."
"Brother Ling Guang is just too furious at that time. Well, it's not every day your ex leaked your sex tapes, right?" Xia Xiang saw the opportunity to join the conversation.
Meng Ran throws a slightly annoyed look at Xia Xiang. Thinking how stupid this girl can be? Why would she mention such an embarrassing story about her?
Xia Xiang's lips turn into a faint smirk. Don't blame her for being vicious and deliberately mentioning the taboo topic.
In her opinion, Meng Ran should be a good friend right now. She already has brother Ling Guang, which she helps her steal from her stepsister. The guy in front of them should be hers!
Guan Xian did not fail to see the small conflict he has created. He was dying to laugh inside but proceed to carry on his plan.
"Well, that makes sense. How about another meeting with bright electronic? Since I misunderstood you?" Guan Xian showers his attention to Meng Ran.
Meng Ran's facelifted up she nods her head earnestly. "I'll tell Ling Guang later, he must be very happy."
Guan Xian chuckles and picks up his wine. Sipping it slowly as he gives Meng Ran those sexy looks.
"Nonono, I want the meeting with you, you only, Secretary Meng."
The tension in the room arises that even stupid Xia Xiang notices it. Her hand turns into a ball.
"You... You are kidding right Mr.Guan?" Meng Ran's meeting as a white lotus is very convincing.
Guan Xian shook his head and then give hee a charming smile again. "I'm more interested in your work Secretary Meng. In fact, If I sign the contract with Bright Electronic later, it's all because of you."
He's totally seducing her...
Meng Ran lower her head. Her beautiful hand slowly tuck the naughty strains and bring it to the back of her ears.
Guan Xian smiles. He would totally fall for her if a certain woman keeps bothering his mind.
"I'll... I'll think about it later." She said with a low voice.
Xia Xiang couldn't hide her unhappy face anymore. She fakes a cough and wants to remind Meng Ran of her position.
"Mr.Guan, help me to congratulate your sister on the engagement. I might not leave a good impression on her, so trouble you to help me." She smiles and wipes her mouth elegantly.
At the mention of a sister, Guan Xian look away from Meng Ran and began to converse with Xia Xiang.
They talking about Imperial High School which make Meng Ran felt left out right now.
"I heard Senior Xiao Ni is the one to broke the rule of coloring hair." Xia Xiang laugh and Guan Xian chuckles.
"Yes, she did. We need to sort things out with the principle afterward." Guan Xian looks more sincere like now. He looks happy when he talks about his sister.
"Well, thanks to senior that now we are free to color our hair." Xia Xiang titled her head.
Guan Xian shook his head. "My sister is my only source of headache. Don't talk about her anymore. Let's talk about your friendship."
Guan Xian shifted his sight to Meng Ran and Xia Xiang back and forth.
"It absolutely amazes me that you two stand on rival companies and still manage to be a friend."
Xia Xiang and Meng Ran look at each other and make a fake smile.
Hahaha, friend? Really?
