I married a petty hooligan in place of my sister, living a life of poverty. Who knew that my husband would suddenly transform into a mysteriously powerful and influential tycoon?
Jiang Can co...
That morning's meeting was extremely difficult to endure.
Jiang Can felt Fang Jinyang's ambiguous gaze lingering on her, and felt Cheng Xiaoxiao's hostile eyes stabbing her like sharp knives.
So after the meeting ended, before Fang Jinyang could even speak to her, she smiled politely and quickly made an excuse to leave the meeting room.
Before leaving, I heard Cheng Xiaoxiao's angry voice coming from inside: "What's wrong with you? You can't take your eyes off that little vixen, can you! A leopard can't change its spots!"
Jiang Can's heart skipped a beat.
When Jiang Can told Lin Yuqing about it at noon, Lin Yuqing was slightly taken aback; she hadn't expected such a coincidence. In such a large company, it just so happened that Jiang Can ran into these two sworn enemies.
"Since we've run into each other, we'll have to be careful from now on," Lin Yuqing said in a low voice. "Can Can, I'm not in the sales department anymore, so I can't speak up for you. Besides, that Cheng Xiaoxiao, her uncle is a major shareholder in the company, and she's used to throwing her weight around... In short, things won't be easy for you in the future, so you'll have to be careful!"
"Don't worry," Jiang Can chuckled. "As long as I don't make any mistakes, Cheng Xiaoxiao can't do anything to me."
However, that afternoon, Cheng Xiaoxiao specifically assigned her a task.
"There will be a tea break in a bit. Here is the list of attendees. They are all major clients of our company, so please prepare accordingly."
Jiang Can nodded.
There are about ten people on the list. This tea break is not large, but we still need to strive for exquisiteness to satisfy our clients.
"By the way, you should keep an eye on President Yun of Chen'an Group." Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled. "This strong woman is strong in everything, except she's allergic to peanuts. When you prepare pastries for her, make sure there are no peanuts in them."
"Okay, I've got it."
Jiang Can walked out gracefully with the list in her hand.
Although she was a newcomer on her first day of work, she was methodical and meticulous, handling every detail herself, and quickly got the tea break venue set up perfectly.
All attendees were present, and everything proceeded smoothly.
Jiang Can stood aside, slightly relieved, but at that moment, a scream suddenly came from the scene.
"President Yun has fainted!"
Jiang Can was stunned for a moment, then hurried over to check. Boss Yun was lying on the ground, his eyes wide open, struggling to breathe.
"What's going on?" someone shouted. "Our CEO, Mr. Yun, is allergic to peanuts! How come there's peanut butter in this cake!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao also walked over from the side, shouting in a shrill voice, "Who prepared these pastries? I repeatedly told Yun that he couldn't eat peanuts, how could this happen!"
Jiang Can's breath hitched, and she looked up to meet Cheng Xiaoxiao's malicious gaze.
She then realized that she had been tricked...
"Jiang Can, I remember this task was assigned to you! How did you end up like this?"
Jiang Can bit her lip tightly and remained silent.
"Stop arguing!" Assistant Yun was frantic. "Please call an ambulance! Someone's going to die if this keeps up!"
The scene immediately descended into chaos.
Jiang Can composed herself, squeezed through the crowd to Yun Zong's side, calmly observed her face, and then took out a small medicine bottle from her bag.
"Quickly, give it to President Yun!"
"What's this?"
"My younger brother is also allergic to peanuts, so I always keep this medicine in my bag!"
Jiang Can stuffed the pill into Yun Zong's mouth, then pinched her philtrum hard.
Before the ambulance arrived, Mr. Yun's shortness of breath gradually disappeared, his breathing became more stable, and the rash on his body lessened considerably.
She slowly opened her eyes, looked at Jiang Can, moved her lips, and uttered three words with difficulty, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Jiang Can wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling relieved.
The ambulance arrived, and everyone hurriedly helped President Yun into the vehicle, and the venue gradually calmed down.
However, not long after, the director, with a gloomy face, called Jiang Can and Cheng Xiaoxiao into his office.
Jiang Can remained silent, while Cheng Xiaoxiao recounted the entire incident with great enthusiasm.
"Jiang Can," Cheng Xiaoxiao said, arms crossed, a smug look on her face, "I warned you so many times before, but you ignored me? You were the one who prepared those cakes, were you trying to kill President Yun?!"
"I have no grudge against her, why would I want to harm her?" Jiang Can remained calm and glanced at her indifferently. "I just don't understand why the cake I prepared was switched?"
"What...what do you mean by this?"
"Director, look." She took a piece of cake that General Manager Yun had eaten when she left the venue. "This cake was served in a paper cup, not prepared by me."
The director frowned. "What do you mean?"
"The cakes used at the tea break were all bought from the bakery across the street. To distinguish between those with and without peanut butter, I specifically told them to use foil cups for the ones without peanut butter. But the one that Mr. Yun ate was served in a paper cup."
"And I just walked around the venue, and none of the pastries came in foil cups. So I'm certain someone switched them!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao's expression changed, and she shouted angrily, "How dare you frame me?"
"A frame-up?" Jiang Can chuckled. "Manager Cheng, I only said someone switched the items, I didn't say it was you. Why are you so nervous?"
"you……"
Cheng Xiaoxiao glared at her fiercely and clenched her fists.
“I did differentiate the cakes,” Jiang Can said clearly. “If the director doesn’t believe me, he can ask the staff at the bakery or check the security footage! Although I’m a newcomer, I can’t be smeared like this for no reason! I demand a thorough investigation into this matter!”
Now that things have come to this, it's clear to anyone with eyes to see who is right and who is wrong.
The director's face was grim. It was Cheng Xiaoxiao who had caused the trouble, and besides, President Yun was already fine. There was really no need to offend the shareholder's niece for the sake of a new employee.
"Jiang Can, I understand what's going on here." He spoke to her in a formal tone, "You can go out now, I have something to say to Supervisor Cheng."
Jiang Can nodded and quietly withdrew.
Before Cheng Xiaoxiao could say anything, the director sternly cut her off: "That's enough!"
"What, you..."
"You think this is something to be proud of? If Jiang Can hadn't had the medicine, and things had really gotten out of hand, could you have taken responsibility?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao turned pale with anger.
"Don't think that just because your uncle is a shareholder you can do whatever you want in the company! I can tolerate you for now, but if you go too far, I won't tolerate you anymore! You'd better watch yourself!"
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't gain anything and was warned by the director instead, so she hated Jiang Can even more and would always find ways to cause trouble for her.
Despite her tireless efforts, Jiang Can hadn't closed a single deal in the month she'd been there, and naturally became a negative example at the regular meetings.
