Chapter 63: Confrontation between old friends, regrets raging
Xia Lei could never have imagined that he had looked down upon a team member in such a way, and even targeted him intentionally or unintentionally.
Now he has unexpectedly transformed himself into the head of the most famous new overseas company of Jiang Group.
Even her last name is Jiang.
Although it is not a rare surname, Xia Lei had never associated the two together before.
But now, everything he saw told him without a doubt that Jiang Wanning might have a close relationship with the powerful Jiang family.
And it seemed that he had indeed offended people he shouldn't have offended before.
And it is very likely that this will completely ruin your career which has just started to take off.
When he thought of this, Xia Lei's slightly arrogant attitude suddenly disappeared. The expression on his face was very interesting for a moment, and finally turned pale.
At this moment, he wished he could travel back a few minutes ago and slap his rude self several times.
But now he could only freeze in place, mumbling for a while before finally finding his voice: "Ah... Xiao Jiang, it's been a while since I last saw you. I didn't expect you to come to Xingguo to develop your career."
"It seems like you've been doing pretty well lately? We're old acquaintances. I remember when we were on a film crew in Shenzhen, I was quite optimistic about you. I didn't expect you to be such a talented young man."
Jiang Wanning didn't expect that even at this point, Xia Lei could change his expression in an instant and say such shamelessly to her.
She found it amusing and did not interrupt him. She just calmly crossed her arms and watched his next performance with her eyes lowered.
Xia Lei had never met Jiang Wanning like this before.
After all, in his impression, Jiang Wanning was a very marginalized figure in his crew. Except for Xiao Liu, who joined the crew at about the same time as her, she was rarely seen having much communication with other people.
The same impression she gave Xia Lei was even more so: she was quiet and well-behaved, spoke little but was very easy to talk to. So whenever there was some dirty or tiring work that others were unwilling to do, he would always think of Jiang Wanning first.
However, Jiang Wanning never complained about his biased arrangements at that time, and always worked hard to do everything.
So the evaluation within the group was barely good, until the Xu Moli incident happened.
Just like when a building is about to collapse, no speck of dust is innocent.
At that time, all of them seemed to direct all their negative emotions towards the girl who seemed to have no background and was extremely easy to bully.
This is because they know clearly that even if they do so, they will not suffer any consequences that they cannot afford.
Until this moment, Xia Lei looked at Jiang Wanning, who was completely different from before.
The other party just gave him a glance, and his aura was so strong that he was almost speechless.
Xia Lei regretted his words so much that he was almost crying. He swallowed several times before finally finding his voice under the other party's powerful pressure: "Xiao Jiang... I didn't mean it just now. I hope you can consider our previous friendship and not take it too seriously."
“…”
Qi Huaian, who was standing by, was watching this scene.
He was always good at reading people's expressions, and in just a short while, he had roughly guessed and figured out the grudge between Xia Lei and Jiang Wanning.
What's even more unimaginable is that the little follower whom he used to look down upon actually had such a past with his future boss.
As a result, he didn't know what to say to Xia Lei for a moment.
This person has been trying so hard recently just to use him to get close to the Jiang family.
But now, the real boss is right next to him, but not only does he not know how to cherish him, he seems to have offended him completely.
Even a god couldn't save him.
Qi Huaian was speechless and said, "Boss Jiang, look at this..."
How to deal with it?
Although Qi Huaian's words were inquiries, his pauses were just right.
This undoubtedly handed the initiative of deciding whether Xia Lei stayed or left to Jiang Wanning, causing the latter to look at him with some surprise.
When Jiang Wanning said she wanted to come to this company, Jiang Wenzhou seemed to have specifically told her to pay more attention to a capable person with good business skills in the company.
I think it’s the person in front of me.
Qi Huaian himself holds a high position of power in the company, and his intentional support for her undoubtedly further confirms Jiang Wanning's identity.
This made those in the company who were previously slightly suspicious and wavering become more resolute in their thoughts.
Even the impetuous strong woman Ellie's face froze for a moment.
But Xia Lei is not aware of it.
When he saw Qi Huaian, who was always difficult to talk to before, speak up and seemed to be on his side, a hint of joy instantly appeared on his pale face.
"Xiao Jiang, no, Mr. Jiang, what do you think?"
"Think about it, we've been friends for three years!"
After hearing this, Jiang Wanning finally raised her eyes and looked at Xia Lei.
"Well, it seems so."
At the same time, a kind smile appeared on her face.
It seemed that the sweet smile that Jiang Wanning always showed when they were on the crew before rekindled a glimmer of hope in Xia Lei's heart, which had originally given up hope.
But before he could finish laughing, Jiang Wanning's words in the next second suddenly hammered him to the bottom of the abyss.
"But Team Leader Xia, you seem to be lying. We are indeed quite familiar with each other, but you have not been friendly to me in the past three years."
Jiang Wanning paused. "What exactly did you do to me? Could it be that Team Leader Xia has forgotten? Do you need me to help you recall it?"
She is a good person in every way, except for one thing: she tends to hold grudges.
Anyone who provokes her to the point of her tolerance will be retaliated against sooner or later tonight.
Before this, she had not had time to pay attention to a small fry like Xia Lei, but she did not expect that the other party would come to her door on his own initiative.
Xia Lei, who was standing by, also looked at Jiang Wanning with some horror.
The man never imagined that one day he would be humiliated in public like this by someone, a junior who used to work under him.
Moreover, the other party spoke so directly that there was no room for maneuver for either party.
This was the first time Xia Lei had encountered such a thing in all his years of work. Even though Qi Huaian didn't like him before, there was still some face-saving between the two of them.
After all, there are no eternal enemies in the business world.
But Jiang Wanning seemed to have no such concerns at all. She spoke the harshest words in the kindest and even calmest tone, as if she wanted to completely cut off all of Xia Lei's hopes and ways of survival.
It was not until now that Xia Lei finally realized that all the well-behaved appearances that Jiang Wanning had shown in front of them were all fake.
And this person's true nature is actually very terrifying.
