Contract Marriage: Emperor CEO's Secretary Wife

The incident that night easily made the headlines the next day. Xiu Mei quickly coordinated with the PR team that night expecting such results thus they were able to quickly lessen the damage on their side.

Linda Yang's name was all red for the whole week. The next time Xiu Mei met her was a few months after that. She met her again in some collaboration project with some clothing line company. It was completely out of her expectations when the Head of the Design department from X Company revealed to her in one of their formal dinners that they contracted Linda Yang for the designs.

Xiu Mei immediately wondered how Linda Yang survived after that scandal a few months ago.

Lu Corporation does not discriminate for people with talents, however, Xiu Mei had investigated this Linda Yang during the scandal period. It was revealed that a lot of Linda Yang's most famous designs were plagiarized and stolen by her from other designers.

This kind of people, she disdain them the most. People who steal other people's hardwork and claim that they own them, why are they the one successful when compared to those people who are really talented?

However, Xiu Mei could not exactly pry on this matter. After all, Linda Yang was like the previous girls who had tried to climb the bed of Lu Chen so they had easily brushed off this small issue.

But now, knowing that the other party was the one responsible for providing the designs and clothing line, she immediately demanded that they end their contract with Linda Yang. Stealing designs is definitely not a simple issue, and she won't gamble Lu Corporation's name with that.

The X Company easily made their decision hearing Xiu Mei's demand. Lu Corporation's name is still bigger when compared to the name of Linda Yang in the industry, especially that she already had a stain on her name.

"What the hell?" Xiu Mei held her urge to smash the screen of her laptop after reading the headline.

Xiu Mei didn't know what happened but one day, she saw her name in the headlines a few days after that.

Basically, what she had summed up from the article was that she was abusing her power as the secretary of the president of Lu Corporation to oppress other people, for example, person A(unnamed) who is a fashion designer.

Xiu Mei scoffed.

Instantly, she knew who was the one responsible behind all of this. Linda Yang was the person they recently had issue with, and it seems like she was acting like a white lotus acting all so pitiful in the short interview she had provided as Person A.

The matter was left with the PR team to resolve. After all, it wasn't something big that she really had to worry about. Her attitude as Lu Chen's secretary is already known to a lot of people. She was mostly in contact with high profile people and other employees.

If the reporters really want to investigate her, they would easily find this information. Even her identity as a Xiu daughter wasn't exactly a secret either.

After that incident was resolved, she completely disdained Linda Yang not only as a person, but her whole being. How dare she try to taint her name like that? Even pulling in the name of the Lu Corporation?

If it were the old Xiu Mei, she'd make sure that Linda Yang won't even have a place anywhere in the fashion industry may it be in China or abroad.

"Hoho," That laugh full of egoism by Linda Yang could be completely felt by Xiu Mei. Ah, she just really want to get out of here or else she might do something so scandalous in front of her. Probably like pouring the tea she was drinking on her?

Petty, but damn. She was tempted to really do it.

"It's nothing big. It's just an award." Linda Yang said, trying to sound humble yet she couldn't hide that tone of pride when she spoke.

"Yeah, just a simple award. After all, who knows who'll be the winner next year." Xiu Mei sipped her tea after saying that. She clearly felt that dagger like stare when the other party heard her words but she easily ignored them.

"Or maybe, something might even happen and you'd be quickly dethroned, right?"

Her tea cup made a noise after she placed it back on the saucer. While speaking, Xiu Mei looked straight to Linda Yang's eyes. Her lips slightly curled up seeing Linda Yang's gaze shake.

Xiu Mei picked up a napkin and made a gesture of rubbing her hands on it as she continued.

"Maybe next year, the committee would decide a stricter criteria in choosing the winners I guess? For example, originality?"

BLAG!

Xiu Mei stood up from her seat with the folders sandwiched between her elbows and body while her other hand held the hand bag she was previously carrying.

She glanced again at Linda Yang who was seething with anger as she looked at her with intense glare like she was ready to attack and pull her hair at any moment. She flashed a smile of triumph before walking out. She took quite a big step, to avoid the pieces of the broken tea cup scattered on the floor.

After leaving the VIP lounge, Xiu Mei walked a little bit more distance before stopping in some corner. Her left arm reached out and leaned on the wall as Xiu Mei almost cried.

She was covering her mouth with her her other hand as she finally let loose the laugh she was holding back ever since she exited the VIP lounge.

"Pfft!! Hahahahahaha!"

Xiu Mei laughed herself to tears, her mood was completely lifted up.

She almost laughed again, remembering that fear stricken face of the person she was conversing with awhile ago. Really, if she had not held back, she would've easily got that woman chased away completely from her life.

After laughing for awhile, Xiu Mei tried to compose into her calm self again.

Aah, the old Xiu Mei is resurfacing after so many years. Should she be concerned?
