Chapter 29: The Satanic Mr. Jiang
Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Shibai. He lowered his eyes to glance at the computer screen in front of him, then raised his eyelids to look at Lin Pingwan, "Don't you realize there's something wrong with your PPT?"
The man's voice was very calm, yet it gave people an oppressive feeling for no reason. The calmer he was, the more serious the matter was.
Lin Pingwan's eyes quickly scanned the screen when she heard that. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead in the chilly weather. When people are in an extremely tense environment, it is difficult to find problems with the data in the table.
“This, this…”
Her face flushed and she was so nervous that she couldn't speak.
Shi Quan, who was sitting at the conference table, discovered the problem, but since Jiang Shibai didn't speak up, he didn't dare to act rashly. He could only hope in his heart that Lin Pingwan would discover it.
Time passed minute by minute, and the entire conference room was silent for more than twenty seconds, and everyone's heart was beating fast.
Jiang Shibai didn't have the patience to help her find the mistakes, and suddenly shifted his gaze to Xu Xian in the corner.
Xu Xian had been watching the entire audience, so naturally he did not miss the man's gaze, and a sense of foreboding emerged in his heart.
As expected, Jiang Shibai's indifferent voice echoed throughout the conference room. "I remember Secretary Xu used to be in the Development Department, right? Tell her what the problem is."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Xu Xian's position. When they saw her bright and charming face, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Her face is undoubtedly beautiful, with delicate features and a strong complexion. She is pretty but not aggressive, and her expressions sometimes make her face lively and pure.
Lin Pingwan's eyes were filled with shock and malice. She couldn't believe that Xu Xian was about to step on her face in such a public place.
If Xu Xian pointed out the mistake, it would undoubtedly be a slap in Lin Pingwan's face. If someone who had left the development department and switched to clerical work could find the problem, it only showed that Lin Pingwan was incompetent.
Xu Xian didn't dare to act rashly in front of everyone, so she could only stand up. In her heart, she kept cursing Jiang Shibai for bringing hatred upon her, but she was willing to do so if she could slap Lin Pingwan in the face.
"The decimal point in the last set of profit margins in the table is misplaced."
After she finished speaking, Lin Pingwan hurriedly looked at the screen and indeed found that the decimal point was in the wrong position. However, since it did not affect the final data, there was no problem at first glance.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang. It was a momentary negligence on my part." Lin Pingwan immediately apologized with a red face, secretly glaring at Xu Xian.
Xu Xian, who had already sat down, naturally did not miss her gaze. He didn't care. As long as he could see her making fun of him, it was fine.
People are really strange creatures. Instead of looking for the reasons in themselves, they shift the blame to others.
Jiang Shibai cannot tolerate careless mistakes. He always pursues perfection and has zero tolerance for avoidable problems.
"There's no point in apologizing. You can't even control the details. Don't come upstairs to report on your work next time." Jiang Shibai spoke bluntly, without any euphemism.
This sentence undoubtedly declared that Lin Pingwan's ability was questionable and directly denied her.
Xu Xian clearly saw the tears in Lin Pingwan's eyes. If the occasion was not inappropriate, a young girl with little work experience might have burst into tears on the spot.
Lin Pingwan managed to keep her composure and choked out a few words as she said, "I understand, President Jiang."
After saying that, she returned to her seat with her head almost lowered, completely lacking the high spirits she had before the meeting began.
Xu Xian couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, and at the same time realized that Jiang Shibai was so cold and ruthless at work that he really lived up to the title of the living devil.
After the meeting, Xu Xian needed to pack up her computer and other items and left late. When she went out, there was no one at the door. Lin Pingwan came out from nowhere and blocked her way.
"Xu Xian, don't be so proud." Lin Pingwan obviously cared about the fact that Xu Xian had lost face for her, even though it was not Xu Xian's will.
Xu Xian was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. He raised his arm and looked at his palm, saying faintly, "Do you want to taste the slap again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Lin Pingwan to react, he slapped her on the left cheek with such force that Xu Xian's hand went numb and his brows furrowed slightly.
She hasn't settled that score yet! Now's the perfect time, it would be a waste not to slap her.
The crisp sound of the slap left Lin Pingwan stunned. She never expected that Xu Xian would hit her again.
While she was stunned, Xu Xian ran away, not wanting to get entangled. She didn't want to be in the company's internal news again.
By the time Lin Pingwan reacted, the person had already disappeared at the door of the conference room. If she chased out, it would definitely attract other people's attention.
Her eyes seemed to be filled with poison as she looked in the direction where Xu Xian disappeared. In the end, she could only cover her face and swallow the bitterness.
The door of the conference room was quiet again. The two people who left did not notice that there were two people standing in the corner next to them, witnessing the whole process.
Jiang Shibai retracted his raised foot, thought for a moment and said, "Let's find out what the conflict is between the two of them."
After saying that, he lowered his bottomless eyes, which were filled with ambiguous emotions.
He originally wanted to wait for Xu Xian to go back to the office together, but he unexpectedly saw this scene. The slap was not restrained at all, which showed that his relationship with Lin Pingwan was not good.
"Okay." Wang Bai closed his slightly open mouth, his eyes full of shock.
The president's wife is quite cool, and she slaps people decisively and decisively, so cool.
After Xu Xian returned to the office, Jiang Shibai called him into the office shortly afterwards.
The man was lazily leaning on the sofa, his tie had been taken off long ago, two buttons on the collar of his shirt were undone, his collarbone was faintly visible, and his cold white skin was very attractive.
Jiang Shibai waved at her. His knuckles were well-proportioned and slender, and his fingernails were round and a healthy pink.
"come over."
Xu Xian felt ashamed by his action of beckoning the puppy, and complained in his heart, but his face showed no expression, and he walked up to him obediently.
She didn't understand what he wanted to do with her, he was so anxious.
Jiang Shibai held her slender wrist, the protruding wrist bone was extremely beautiful, and with a little force he pushed her down to sit on the sofa. In her puzzled eyes, he grabbed her right hand and looked it over from side to side.
Her hands are beautiful, with rosy palms and white and well-proportioned fingers. Even her nails are exquisite, trimmed very roundly, and the white crescent shape is beautiful.
Xu Xian saw him staring at her hands and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"See if Secretary Xu's hand is red or swollen. After all, slapping someone must be painful." Jiang Shibai said as he picked up the towel on the coffee table, wrapped her palm, and put an ice pack on it.
The cold touch made Xu Xian shudder, but the man held her wrist firmly, leaving her no room to retreat. Instead, Jiang Shibai looked up at her with an unknown emotion in his eyes.
"pain?"
The ending of his tone rose slightly, and a hint of heartache could be heard in just one word.
Xu Xian shook his head, his fox eyes blinking slightly, and whispered, "It's a bit cold."
She felt that Jiang Shibai was in a strange mood, as if he was holding back some anger.
And from what he said, he caught her slapping Lin Pingwan, which was a bit embarrassing.
In fact, except for the numbness at the beginning, her palms no longer felt anything. However, seeing Jiang Shibai giving her an ice compress, she inexplicably did not refuse.
