Chapter 1047: Exchange (4)

Xi Xiaye apathetically asked her to leave.

Inhaling deeply, Gu Lingsha slowly pulled her hand away. As she clenched her fists, she suppressed the anger that surged to her chest.

"What do you want?" The fury in her tone was hard to conceal.

"I should be the one asking you what you want. You came to my turf to unleash your craziness for no reason, Gu Lingsha. Are you sick in the head? You don't have any awareness at all!" Xi Xiaye's sharp voice was not inferior to hers at all.

Gu Lingsha clenched her fists in silence. Only she knew how much effort she needed to hold down her burning rage! "Those materials are very important to Qi Kai. I've already closed the discussion with the people at Hua Heng. Xi Xiaye, can you not be so despicable? You must let me have these materials. I can help you pay the penalty!" she insisted.

"Let you have it? Why should I?" Xi Xiaye looked up coldly at Gu Lingsha.

"Xi Xiaye, don't forget that Qi Lei owns a part of Qi Kai too. You keep saying that Qi Lei's your friend. Is this how you become a friend?" Gu Lingsha was a woman who made full use of everything, so she knew very well how to use her resources and how to provoke someone.

Indeed, when she said that, Xi Xiaye's face immediately sank and her eyes became dull. She stared at Gu Lingsha in a lukewarm manner, and after a long, her fury dissipated. Instead, she smiled and said, "Very good, Gu Lingsha. It turns out that Qi Lei is present here today, so you can go tell him to talk to me. See if he's willing to plead on your behalf. South River Project No. 2 seems to have nothing to do with him. When it comes to taking on responsibility, it might not even get assigned to him."

So, she wanted to talk about a favor? She could do it for Qi Lei, but if it were for Gu Lingsha, then she might not do it!

"You!"

She was unmoved by force or persuasion and was thick-skinned much to Gu Lingsha's extreme annoyance! She never would have thought that Xi Xiaye would suddenly turn out to be Shen Yue's granddaughter and the CEO of Fuhua!

She thought that once Xi Mushan had fallen, the Xi family would be over and Xi Xiaye would have no more support to rely on, so she did not quite care about Xi Xiaye. Instead, she was targetting the old characters like Wang Qin and Zhuang Shurong, but who would have thought that she would turn out to be the CEO?

"Xi Xiaye, don't go too far! You must make me look bad today, huh?"

"If you want to keep thinking that way, then I can't help it either. I'm very busy and I don't have time to attend to you. Xiao Mei!"

Xi Xiaye leaned against her chair calmly, and casually enjoyed Gu Lingsha's sour expression. When she thought about how this woman had almost crushed her hand, she felt very pleased.

The moment Xiao Mei heard her calling for her, she immediately barged in. "Yes, CEO Xi?" Xiao Mei asked respectfully, but when she saw Gu Lingsha, her eyes turned cold. Naturally, she did not forget all the bad blood from before.

"Please help me see Miss Gu out!"

"Got it, CEO Xi!"

"Xi Xiaye, you better not be so delighted. You will regret whatever happened today!" Gu Lingsha said grudgingly through gritted teeth.

"I'll be waiting then, Miss Gu! Oh, right, previously your scandals with Mu Yuchen made me very unhappy. Let me give you some advice. Don't waste your time. When you were still a young virgin girl, he already didn't fancy you, so forget about now! His taste will only be even more refined from here on and won't deteriorate. Gu Lingsha, I think you're a smart person. Don't forget your identity, hmm, Miss Qi!"

When Xi Xiaye said that, Gu Lingsha's expression turned ashen! She hated it the most when someone brought up this embarrassing matter. Just as she wanted to go up to her, Xiao Mei blocked her path.

"Miss Gu, let's go! Otherwise, we'll have to get the bodyguards to send you down, and that won't look good!" Xiao Mei was also sniggering at the dismal Gu Lingsha!

This woman only knew how to bully others. She was always arrogant and never cared about normal staff like her, but she was always defeated by Director Xi!

"Xi Xiaye. I. Will. Remember. Today!" Gu Lingsha declared word for word through gritted teeth as she pointed at Xi Xiaye. You could tell that her anger was on the verge of exploding as she said this fiercely before slamming the door on the way out!

Bam!

The sound of the door slamming shocked Xiao Mei who subconsciously put a hand to her chest. When she saw that the door was tightly closed, she turned back to look at Xi Xiaye in her chair.

However, Xi Xiaye was looking thoughtfully at the closed door with a stony expression.

"CEO Xi, what drugs is Gu Lingsha on? Why did she come all the way here?" Xiao Mei asked, puzzled.

"What else could it be? Of course, it's for the materials from Hua Heng. I can't take her on openly, so this time I'll let her fall on her knees! Go tell the people in the government about Gu Lingsha. Also, ask Uncle Lan to immediately prepare the same amount of materials from our warehouse. I'll be waiting for her to beg me!"

"CEO Xi, are you planning on..."

"These materials are scarce. They are sourced from City C. Recently, the southwestern district has been having storms and floods. If these materials were to be shipped from there again, it would take at least a month or two. By then, South River Project No. 2 will need to have been started on after the groundbreaking ceremony. If it's delayed for a month or two because of the materials, don't you think that the pressure will get to Gu Lingsha? What would the government people think of Qi Kai? Gu Lingsha knew this, and that's why she caught onto Hua Heng. Hua Heng has those materials stored in City B, and coincidentally, the development of the Movies and Television base in City B needs to use them too."

"But, CEO Xi, doesn't this mean that our warehouse has a lot of these materials too? Hua Heng actually offered them to us at quite a high price, thus I think we're suffering some losses," Xiao Mei frowned and said hesitantly.

"Don't worry. The materials in the warehouse will have their uses." Xi Xiaye responded with a mysterious smile, then slowly sat up straight. "Alright, don't worry about these things. I have plans of my own, so just do as I say."

Xiao Mei caught the smile on Xi Xiaye's face and felt at ease, then she nodded. "Alright, I'll go now! Oh right, CEO Xi, Miss Mu Lingshi called for you earlier, but I saw that you and Assistant Lan were in discussion, so I didn't disrupt you!"

Mu Lingshi?

Xi Xiaye frowned as she responded, "Got it."
