Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 50. I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, the people below are inconsiderate.

Wang Ling's expression froze instantly. A hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but she forced herself to remain calm, appearing fierce on the surface but weak inside.

"Miss Jiang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you think people will believe you just because you say a few words? Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Seeing that the girl remained silent, Wang Ling became certain that she had no evidence, and her arrogance grew even stronger.

She raised her voice.

“Ms. Jiang, I know you’re resentful because I rejected your design, but a company as large as the Ji Group can’t just go around doing charity work if it wants to keep operating.”

“If you can’t guarantee quality, you’ll be eliminated. Ms. Jiang, you’ve been out of college for two years now. You can’t possibly not understand these basic rules, can you?” She curled her lips and said sarcastically. “Society has its own rules. As your senior, everything I’m doing is to help you adapt to these rules.”

"My approach may have been a bit harsh, but I meant well."

"Miss Jiang, don't you think so?"

Jiang Jixu smiled slightly, his eyes fixed on her.

A subtle, sharp glint was hidden in her rounded almond-shaped eyes.

"Manager Wang really has a silver tongue."

"They can call white black and black white."

She took her phone out of her pocket.

Looking at the screen displaying "Recording in progress," Wang Ling felt a strange sense of panic.

She didn't know what Jiang Jixu was going to do.

In Wang Ling's view, the other party was just a greenhorn who had just started working, and in the workplace, such newcomers were the easiest to manipulate.

Just like how she tormented Jiang Jixu so many times before, making him revise and reject drafts, only to say a few nice words at the end—

"This is all for your benefit. Young people shouldn't be afraid of setbacks. You can only learn from failures."

The problem can be solved.

Even if Jiang Jixu was angry, wouldn't he still go back and obediently revise it before handing it in?
Every time she saw the girl's silent and obedient demeanor, her vanity would be greatly satisfied.

What kind of genius designer is he? He wouldn't dare utter a sound in front of me.

But what the woman didn't know was that the real reason Jiang Jixu was "soft and easy to manipulate" was not because she was afraid of her or the Ji family behind her.

Jiang Jixu simply didn't want to cause trouble for Ji Yanci, who had just taken over the company at the time.

But now it's different.

She tapped the screen to save the recording, then sighed softly.

"Actually, I didn't want to get involved."

"But Wang Ling, why do you always seem to walk right into my line of fire?"

Jiang Jixu looked at the recording on his phone with the name "Wang Ling" on it and tilted his head slightly. "Last August, at the tea break shop, Manager Wang seemed to have met a guest there."

A smile played on her pale pink lips. Despite her seemingly gentle and harmless appearance, a chill ran down Wang Ling's spine.

The woman's pupils suddenly contracted.

She tried to speak up to stop them, but it was too late.

Jiang Jixu turned the phone volume up to the maximum.

Wang Ling's clear voice came through the loudspeaker.

"Mr. Zheng, if you just follow my instructions and pay attention to some methods when making the design drawings, replace some unnecessary materials, and reduce the budget, I can add three percent to your design fee. In the future, all of Ji's outsourcing contracts will also be handled by your company. How about this deal?"

There were quite a few onlookers in the hall, but it was so quiet that only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Ling.

The woman's body stiffened.

After a long pause, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's fake!"

"There are so many synthesized recordings these days. You're clearly holding a grudge because I rejected your studio's draft, so you made this recording to frame me!"

She spoke very quickly, "Otherwise, what a coincidence that you happened to be there when I was recording?"

Jiang Jixu didn't waste time arguing with her.

He simply packaged the recording and sent it to the Ji family's personnel department via email.

"Whether they are genuine or not, the Ji family will naturally verify it."

Wang Ling's face turned deathly pale, and she trembled all over.

Once the Ji family finds out that she did something underhanded, they will definitely fire her. Then her reputation in the industry will be ruined, and which company would want to hire her?
There's a real possibility of going to jail. Wang Ling gritted her teeth: "Jiang Jixu, you're ruthless!"

Jiang Jixu remained calm.

She only helped the Ji family draw the designs at a low price because of Ji Yanci.

She didn't care how much money she was offered.

I just hope this can help Ji Yanci.

Unfortunately, Wang Ling didn't understand and thought she was easy to bully. Even after the contract was terminated, she still came up to seek attention.

Then she naturally wouldn't be polite.

She looked down, preparing to send a message to Ji Yanci, asking him to say hello to the receptionist.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the air, accompanied by a woman's resentful voice.

"Jiang Jixu, you bitch! You deliberately came back today to mess with me, didn't you! Fine! I'll die, and you won't live either!"

Exclamations arose from the crowd.

Jiang Jixu looked up, and a flash of cold light appeared in her pupils.

She swiftly dodged the utility knife in Wang Ling's hand.

He raised his hand, gripped the woman's shoulder, and pressed hard.

"you--"

Before Wang Ling could finish speaking, she felt the world spinning before her eyes, and her tailbone slammed hard onto the ground, causing her excruciating pain.

She was pinned to the ground, her face pressed against the cold floor. Before she could react, a sharp pain shot through her wrist, and she couldn't help but let out a piercing cry of pain.

Jiang Jixu showed no mercy, kicking the utility knife away with a cold expression.

Wang Ling's attack was clearly aimed at her vital points.

If it weren't for my good skills, someone else might be lying here right now.

Just as he was about to speak, a familiar male voice rang out from outside the crowd.

"Why are you all gathered here?! What's all this noise about?!"

Wang Ling was overjoyed to see the person who arrived and hurriedly said, "Assistant Li! Someone has come to our Ji family to cause trouble and even assaulted people!"

Then, enduring the pain, he gritted his teeth and threatened in a low voice, "Assistant Li is here. He's one of President Ji's men. I advise you to let me go right now, or your little lousy studio will go bankrupt!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jixu raised an eyebrow slightly.

"is it?"

Then, she looked up at the man who had rushed over, her voice calm.

"Assistant Li, I heard you want to shut down my studio?"

Wang Ling sneered inwardly.

Has Jiang Jixu gone mad? Why is he trying to get close to Assistant Li at a time like this?

She let out a sneer, about to retort, when she saw the usually aloof Assistant Li stride up to Jiang Jixu.

His voice was tinged with apology.

"I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, the people below are not very knowledgeable."

Wang Ling's expression froze.

They didn't even care about the pain in their bodies.

His voice trembled: "Miss Jiang?"

"Wang Ling?" Assistant Li looked down and noticed her. "What are you doing here?"

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Wang Ling's forehead.

"Assistant Li, I..."

"Assistant Li, an employee of the Ji family deliberately injured someone with a knife in public."

Jiang Jixu interrupted her, his voice icy cold, "I will sue Wang Ling, and I hope the Ji family can give me a satisfactory answer."
