The CEO’s Wife Has A Secret - Chapter 160

The moment Xi Ana stepped inside the conference room she already excused them from greeting her so she went straightly to her seat.

“All of you must be aware of the recent news within the company and I’m sure that everyone is intelligent enough so I don’t need to explain the reason why some of the people who were working with us before were not here with us in this important meeting.”

Xi Ana paused and examined the faces of the people for a while before continuing, “That will serve as warning for all of you. Once something similar like this happened within my territory again, don’t expect be to merciful because I will make sure that you will experience worse that them. So think a hundred times, if that’s not enough then think a hundred more before deciding to betray me.”

All of the people present could feel that their president is a lot colder than she usually. Even her word feels a lot heavier that it’s making them feel suffocated making them pale on the voice as if their blood were drained.

“Yes, president.” everyone stiffly answered in unison as if they have practiced. It is evident from their faces that they were indeed affected by what Xi Ana said and so she waved her hand which indicates that they may proceed with the meeting.

The employees felt calmer now which allowed them to proceed with the meeting just as how it should be.

The aim of this meeting is to finalize the final revisions that were made with the Southville project. Since the infrastructure itself cannot be modified so much they just focused on the smaller details and they further elaborated the theme itself.

Initially, only a the buildings would have a touch of Ancient Greek on it which is why in the initial plan I was not heavily designed that way and with Chengxin Corporation’s purposely changing some parts of the initial plan, they were able to avoid to much with their own.

“Since we can’t meddle with the exterior too much anymore, I think it might be worthwhile to play with the interior design. We can change the lobby to look more like a museum by displaying valuable antiques. As for the pieces that e can display, I’ve already collected brochures of the auctions that will be held until next month in different countries. The sample items that we’re thinking of obtaining were compiled into the booklet, in front of you president.”

Xi Ana took the booklet and casually flipped over the pages. There were about ten pieces which is reasonable since the lobby is quite spacious. After carefully examining each page, she closed the booklet and placed in back on the table.

“I have no qualm with the idea and to be honest I liked it but I just wanna know your basis when selecting these items?” she is worried that they selected item just for the sake of selecting.

“Indeed we tried to compromise with the starting bid of the items at first but upon thinking more, we decided to check on the background of the item if it fits the theme of our project as well as if it is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes if they were displayed on the area where visitors would most likely visit.”

“Auctions are not the only way to obtain items like this. It is possible there are also items for sale outside at a reasonable price. Check on that and get back to me.”

“I understand, president. We will surely check on that matter, thank you.”

“Alright, you may sit. Let’s proceed to the next person.” Xi Ana said without much of a change on her facial expression but even if it’s like that the person who just sat felt ecstatic.

The words that their president uttered means that their proposal was already approved and they just needed to check what she said.

Those who were not yet done with presenting their proposals were envious of the brimming face of the person who just finished but they can only swallow their saliva and looked through their proposal once more to heck whether they have missed something or not.

This meeting continued on for hours and once they were done, they felt like their soul already separated from their mortal body and they can only sigh in relief one they were out of the cold conference room.

—

The next day people inside the company are still thinking of the things that happened the previous day, the people on the lower ranks of the company may nit necessarily care but it was not like that with the people on the two topmost floors of Xi Corporation.

The employees on these floors were more susceptible to attracting people who has a bad intention toward the company since they work closer to the president which earns that they also hold more information than any other employees and the dismissal of these few people this time received different reaction from the rest of the employees of Xi Corporation.

Meanwhile, some of the employees who were also once offered to be a spy or to sell inside information about Xi Corporation in exchange for a large sum of money sighed in relief because they weren’t blinded by the money that was already delivered on their doorsteps.

They were able choose properly because their fear of Xi Ana is way bigger than the money that was offered but if there is someone who is most relieved by the fact that his name was not included in the list of employees that were dismissed that would be Gao Bei Cheng.

“Thank you very much for discovering that I was a spy way earlier, president because if not I wouldn’t know what to do also with that I was able to redeem myself and be if use to the company and to you properly.” if this was the ancient era, Gao Bei Cheng would have knelt down and kowtowed in front of Xi Ana for sparing his life.

If that kind of punishment would be given to him, what would have happened to his sister who only has him to rely on?

Xi Ana squinted her eyes on him, “As days pass by, you are becoming more and more casual to me don’t you think so?”

Seeing the the cold eyes of Xi Ana staring at him, he immediately composed himself. “Please spare me, president. I must be muddleheaded for a while to peak so casually. I won’t dare to it again.”

How could he forget that he already offended this woman in front of him which their confrontation really scared him, if he offended her again he would only be asking to be killed without spilling blood.

Thinking about it, Gao Bei Cheng realized that he really had changed or maybe it was because he does not need to be careful with his actions like when he used to be a spy for Fang Jianghu that’s why he is a lot more carefree now.

“Never mind. Anyway, I called you here because I have an important task to give you.”

Hearing the seriousness on Xi Ana’s voice, he also turned serious at once. “I’m listening, president.”

“I want you to constantly check on the people who are part of the Southville project and report to me if there is the smallest hints of suspicions that you have. Everyone must know how much value I put into this project if another mishap happens again, I wouldn’t know what to do with the offenders anymore.” once is enough, twice is stupidity.

“I get what you mean president but are you sure you are entrusting this task to me?”

“Are you questioning my decision?”

Meeting the icy cold stare of the president, Gao Bei Cheng immediately explained himself. “Please don’t misunderstand, president. It’s just that I felt that it is not right for me to be given such an important task considering my past offence.”

“I already chose you and I’m not retracting that decision, if you don’t like it then you can quit my company. Coward people are really not my cup of tea.”

“President..”

“For your peace of mind, I will tell you why. I chose you because I know you will not dare to betray me a second time around. This is not an ȧssumption because I know will never dare. People like you who had betrayed another only have two endings with the person they have betrayed, either they will fall out or they will be loyal to them. If this not enough to set your mind at ease then it is not yet too late to write your resignation letter.”
