Chapter Twelve: Xu Xu, You Can't Win Against Me!

Page 1/3

Soon, the meeting room was left with only Xu Xu and the representatives from Sunrise Group. Xu Jianjun’s sudden change of attitude did not surprise Xu Xu in the least; after all, that was exactly the kind of person he was. However...

“May I ask why you suddenly changed your stance?” Xu Xu calmly asked the person in charge. Judging by the expressions on the faces of the Sunrise Group representatives just now, they should have been very dissatisfied with Xu Corporation and these people. It made no sense for them to suddenly agree and even insist that she take charge.

“It’s because our boss has great confidence in you,” the person in charge smiled. “Our boss highly recognizes Miss Xu’s work abilities. Entrusting the project to you is what puts our boss at ease.”

So that was it...

Xu Xu nodded. “But your boss may not know that I’m about to leave Xu Corporation soon, so it would be better to find someone reliable for this project instead...”

“Miss Xu, you must have misunderstood,” the person in charge shook his head slightly. “We value you, not Xu Corporation. Wherever you are, this project belongs to that company.”

Such trust offered Xu Xu a measure of comfort and touched her deeply. She also understood that the other party genuinely wanted to help her.

So Xu Xu nodded and extended her hand. “Then, I look forward to a pleasant cooperation.”

The person in charge shook her hand firmly. “Likewise.”

Half an hour later, Xu Xu returned to her office area holding the signed contract. She smiled gently and announced the news to the busy team.

“Wow! Is this for real?”

“I thought... the project was going to be taken over by Xu Yaru and her team.”

“Xu Jie is amazing!”

The project team under Xu Xu instantly erupted with excitement. Their spirits had been low, as they had worked so hard only to see their project become a stepping stone for others. Who wouldn’t feel frustrated?

“For this project, everyone has worked hard. Once it stabilizes, I will distribute bonuses!” Xu Xu smiled slightly and announced.

The excited team cheered loudly, even their dark circles from sleepless nights now seemed endearing.

After rallying her team, Xu Xu took the contract and went into her office. She had originally planned to resign today, but since she hadn’t decided where to go next, she might as well finish this project well. Her employees would also receive their bonuses, so their efforts wouldn’t be wasted.

Yes... and she could also irk Xu Yaru and Xu Jianjun a little.

“Damn it... this should have been my project!” Standing at the entrance of the project department, Xu Yaru watched the employees praise Xu Xu and felt a surge of jealousy.

It was all Xu Xu’s fault for barging in today!

Seething with anger, Xu Yaru stomped into Xu Xu’s office in her towering heels and shouted, “Xu Xu! You shameless woman! How can you be so thick-skinned? You know you’re not part of the Xu family, yet you still steal what’s rightfully ours!”

Seeing Xu Yaru’s furious outburst, Xu Xu felt unusually cheerful.

“Steal what’s rightfully yours?” Xu Xu chuckled. “I got into Xu Corporation on my own merit. I didn’t use connections like some people. How can you say I’m stealing?”

“You...” Xu Yaru was momentarily speechless, her face twisting with rage.

So what if she used connections!?

She was the Xu family heiress! The entire Xu Corporation would belong to her one day!

Just then, through the glass of the office, Xu Yaru saw someone approaching. Her eyes lit up, and she smiled triumphantly at Xu Xu.

“Xu Xu, you can’t beat me!”

With that, Xu Yaru slapped herself fiercely.

“Waa... sister, why did you hit me?” Xu Yaru clutched her reddened cheek and tearfully asked, looking pitiful.

Xu Xu’s expression turned to one of confusion. “What...?”

“You unfilial girl! What are you doing?” Before Xu Xu could react, Xu Jianjun stormed in angrily.

Seeing this, Xu Xu immediately realized—great, Xu Yaru was about to cause trouble again.

“Unfilial girl! How dare you treat your sister like this?” Xu Jianjun glared at Xu Xu, his anger rising rapidly.

Xu Yaru immediately threw herself into Xu Jianjun’s arms, sobbing, “Dad, I only came to congratulate sister on winning the project, but she slapped me without reason...”

Hearing this, Xu Jianjun’s anger flared even more. He stepped forward, raising his hand to slap Xu Xu.

“Do you dare?”

Xu Xu coldly stared at Xu Jianjun, her aura intimidating enough to make him hesitate.

But then he felt embarrassed and puffed up, shouting, “It’s only right for a father to discipline his daughter! What wouldn’t I dare?”

“Fine, then hit me!” Xu Xu slammed the table, standing up without losing her composure. “After this slap, the cooperation between Xu Corporation and Sunrise Group will be immediately terminated!”

“You...” Xu Jianjun glanced at Xu Xu, her eyes fierce and unyielding. Slowly, he lowered his raised hand.

The cooperation with Sunrise Group was too important; he wouldn’t risk it!

“Fine, fine, you’ve really grown wings!” Xu Jianjun fumed, his chest heaving. “The Xu family raised you all these years, and you’ve turned into an ungrateful wretch! You can’t stand your own sister, and now you don’t even respect me, your father!”

“That’s right! Sister, you’re way too much!” Xu Yaru chimed in immediately, accusing Xu Xu. “How can you talk to Dad like that?”

“Hmph.” Xu Xu eyed the father and daughter coldly. “If someone respects me, I’ll give them respect in return. But if they don’t, I have no reason to be courteous.”

The commotion was so loud that employees outside couldn’t help but glance over repeatedly.

Noticing the stares from outside, Xu Yaru gritted her teeth and continued, “Xu Xu, you’re so arrogant! Because of your selfishness, you nearly ruined the cooperation between our company and Sunrise Group! You’re so self-centered, never considering the company at all!”

She deliberately raised her voice, hoping the employees outside would hear.

“Selfish?” Xu Xu rolled her eyes in disbelief. “Xu Yaru, have I ever been kind to you?”

“Isn’t that true?!” Xu Yaru became more impassioned, practically bursting with emotion. “You don’t care about the company and always exclude and target me! Are you trying to kick me out and take over Xu Corporation yourself? Sister, how can you be so cruel?”

Watching Xu Yaru glare at her with hatred, Xu Xu’s expression gradually darkened.

She fixed her eyes on Xu Yaru and took slow steps closer, her gaze icy and unforgiving.

Xu Yaru, who had been venting her anger, sensed something was wrong. Seeing Xu Xu approach, she stepped back fearfully.

“W-what are you doing...”

“Slap!”

“Ah!”

Xu Xu’s movements were too swift. Even though Xu Yaru realized something was amiss and tried to dodge, she was still slapped hard by Xu Xu.

Her already reddened cheek visibly swelled before their very eyes.
