Gao Ge was also frightened by Xia Xi's momentum, but the words had already been spoken, like spilled water, which could not be taken back. She instinctively straightened her back, as if to say come on, she had nothing to be afraid of.

Xia Xi stood in front of Gao Ge. They were about the same height, but Xia Xi had a stronger aura, and he had a condescending look.

Gao Ge held his breath.

Xia Xi spoke slowly, "Engineer Gao, as a woman, should understand the difficulties faced by women in the workplace. How can you say such unsubstantiated statements? Did you achieve your current position by selling your body?"

"You!" Gao Ge's face turned pale.

She has achieved what she has today thanks to her own efforts, fighting with a group of men in the workplace, being unmarried at the age of 36, and sacrificing her best years of youth!

How could Xia Xi deny everything with just one casual sentence?

She is killing people and destroying their hearts!

Seeing her face full of anger, Xia Xi raised the corners of his lips and smiled faintly: "Look, I just judged according to your logic, and you couldn't stand it. In this case, why can't you put yourself in other people's shoes and think about whether they can bear it before speaking?"

Gao Ge: "How can you compare with me?"

"I'm just a few years younger than you. Other than that, what's the difference between you and me?" Xia Xi asked. "Does my youth mean I deserve to be looked down upon? I think a person's ability shouldn't be measured by age and experience. There aren't many people in the tea room today. If there were more people, rumors would spread. Tomorrow, everyone in the company would think I'm a designer who only cares about women. Rumors are terrifying. Are you trying to destroy me?"

She pressed on step by step, not giving in at all. Gao Ge's heart was pounding, and he couldn't utter a word.

She hadn't thought about the serious consequences...

"As for whether I am a fool or not, you will find out in the future." Xia Xi said slowly.

"Who doesn't know how to say nice things?" Gao Ge knew that she was at a disadvantage from the very beginning. She was gossiping behind someone's back and was caught red-handed by the person who did it. She was already in the wrong and was just holding on now because she didn't want to be laughed at.

But having said that, she had no choice but to continue, "Since you're so confident, let's make a bet. If you don't get a big project in two months, get out of Boya Design, and don't blame me for bullying you. If you do, I'll do whatever you say, and I won't cheat."

Jiang Tian silently raised his cup and took a sip of coffee, thinking to himself that the war between women was truly horrible, without the smoke of gunpowder but filled with murderous intent.

If Xia Xi was an impulsive person, she would have been forced to accept the challenge immediately. Unfortunately, she was not. She was very clear-headed and made a decisive move: "It's not up to me whether I can accept the project or not."

She looked at the only onlooker in the tea room - Jiang Tian.

It was her first day at the company, so she didn't know many people. However, she knew the person in front of her: "I'm not the one responsible for client liaisons. I only do the design part."

Jiang Tian was inexplicably dragged into this, and he was worried for himself. He grinned dryly, "I'm trying my best to negotiate a big project so that Engineer Xia's abilities can be put to good use. I look forward to seeing Engineer Xia shine at Boya."

Seeing the two of them singing in unison, Gao Ge felt a tightness in his chest. He walked away without saying a word.

Jiang Tian shouted from behind: "Engineer Gao, you forgot to take your rose tea——"

Gao Ge paused, turned back with a dark face, picked up the cup on the table and left.

Jiang Tian and Xia Xi were the only two people left in the tea room. Jiang Tian raised the cup in his hand and said, "Xia Gong, would you like some coffee? Even though it's instant, it tastes pretty good."

Xia Xi: "Thank you, I don't want to drink."

Jiang Tian approached her and smelled a faint fragrance coming from her. He kept a polite distance and said, "Engineer Gao is quite arrogant. Don't take her words to heart. I have high hopes for you. If there are any big projects in the future, I will recommend you first."

Xia Xi still said the same thing: "Thank you."

Jiang Tian touched his nose. Beautiful women have their own personalities and are so cold and aloof that people find it difficult to approach them.

When it was time to get off work, Xia Xi took the elevator to the parking lot, got in the car, and without starting the engine, called Su Jinru first.

"What are we having for dinner? Do you want me to bring some food back?" Xia Xi had just finished asking when she heard a noisy voice coming from the other end of the line. "Are you out?"

Su Jinru didn't answer the question of whether she needed to bring food. She explained first, "I went to pick up my two kids from kindergarten. They insisted on eating at KFC, so I brought them to the mall. As soon as we came out, they set their sights on the children's playground in the mall, so they started playing there..."

Xia Xi pressed his brows and said, "No need to ask, it must have been Youyou's idea."

The two children have very different personalities. Youyou is older, lively and active, like a naughty monkey. She is crazy and sweating all day long. It takes a lot of effort to take care of her. Ziheng is younger, but more calm and steady. People often feel that he is not a child and may have inherited his father's characteristics.

Su Jinru: "You really understand them. It was indeed Youyou who instigated Ziheng."

"Which mall is it? I'll drive over to pick you up."

"You must be tired after a day's work. You don't need to come pick me up." Su Jinru said with a smile, "When the two children have had enough fun, I'll take a taxi to take them back. We'll have dinner later."

"It's my first day at work. There's not much work to do, so I'm not tired."

Su Jinru couldn't persuade her daughter, so she had to tell her the name of the shopping mall.

It was probably a newly opened shopping mall. Xia Xi had never heard of it before. He entered the destination into the navigation and drove out of the parking lot.

In the mall, Su Jinru hung up the phone and looked at the child in the fence.

The children's playground is covered with blue and white balls, like an ocean, with a five-story castle built in the middle. Children wear knee pads and safety helmets, with safety ropes tied around their bodies, and are led by professional staff to explore the castle.
