Chapter 51: Xu Tian catches them in the act

"Xu Zong, the reason I am cooperating with you this time is that I have taken a fancy to the ability of your company's Vice President, Xu Tian, so I require that all subsequent project docking work be handled by him."

"What?!"

As soon as Tang Xin's voice fell, Xu Rixin and the other senior management present were shocked.

Then, Xu Rixin hurriedly gave a wink to Vice President Wu beside him.

Vice President Wu immediately understood and hurriedly persuaded Tang Xin:

"Tang Zong, Xu Tian coming to the company to work was his father's arrangement, just so he wouldn't be idle all day. Moreover, he hasn't been working at the company for long, and our company has many experienced project managers; Xu Tian really cannot handle such an important job..."

"I say he can handle it, so he can handle it."

Before Vice President Wu could finish speaking, Tang Xin directly interrupted with a cold face: "Or are you saying that I invested millions in your company, and I can't even designate a person in charge?"

"I didn't mean that." Vice President Wu hurriedly waved his hands.

On the side, Xu Rixin also looked pale.

He was unwilling to hand over such a good project. Xu Tian had already obtained An Rongxuan's project; if he were to represent the company to connect with Tang Xin, it would be equivalent to all the credit for these two big projects belonging to him alone.

Then, Xu Tian's reputation in the company would surely be at its peak, and he might even climb above him.

Thinking of this, Xu Rixin again gave a wink to a project manager on his left.

Seeing this, the project manager immediately said: "Tang Zong, it's not that we are unwilling to follow your arrangements, but every company has its own rules."

"Although Vice Xu Zong has outstanding ability, he is still a newcomer after all. If we rashly let him take over such a big project, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among other old employees of the company."

"That's right, please think twice, Tang Zong."

Once one person started, other senior management around them spoke up to persuade.

"The Vice General Manager hasn't been at the company for long and has shallow qualifications; he should be allowed to go to the small projects below to gain more experience for a period of time, only then can he convince the public."

"The Vice President hasn't made any achievements yet. Just letting him be responsible for a project of millions, if some rumors spread again, it won't be good for Vice Xu Zong's influence."

The senior management expressed their opinions. On the surface, they were thinking for Xu Tian, but in reality, they were implicitly telling Tang Xin that Xu Tian was not worthy of his position.

"Rumors?"

Tang Xin sneered upon hearing this.

Then she looked around and finally fixed her gaze on Xu Rixin, saying coldly: "I remember Xu Tian is your younger brother, right? He is also a member of the Xu family and holds shares in the Xu Group. The company's employees work for your Xu family; who dares to speak ill of the boss?"

"This..."

The expressions of the senior management suddenly stiffened.

"Furthermore, cooperating with Xu Tian is my decision; how is it the turn of people below to make irresponsible remarks?"

"I, Tang Xin, will put it here today: this project must be docked by Xu Tian personally; otherwise, I will withdraw my investment immediately!"

Tang Xin's domineering words made everyone in the conference room dare not make a sound, including Xu Tian.

He shouldn't have offended this woman, right?

This woman attracted tons of hatred for him as soon as she appeared. Originally, he wanted to low-key take back everything that belonged to him in the company and incidentally let everyone recognize Xu Rixin's true face.

But now, he had only been at the company for a few days; first, there was An Rongxuan's high-profile confession, and then Tang Xin personally came forward to name him for cooperation, directly pushing him to the forefront.

Before Xu Tian could react, Tang Xin looked directly at him and spoke:

"Xu Zong, I need to confirm the specific details of the cooperation with you. Can we talk in your office?"

"Yes."

Xu Tian nodded expressionlessly.

In front of everyone, it wasn't easy for him to directly ask Tang Xin's purpose for choosing him as the handover target.

Then, Xu Tian stood up amidst the murderous glares of Xu Rixin and others and walked out of the conference room.

Suddenly, a fresh scent of jasmine flowers wafted over.

Immediately following, Tang Xin actually held Xu Tian's arm in full view of everyone.

Xu Tian was startled and hurriedly took a big step to the side, shaking off the slender wrist held on his arm.

He frowned and looked at Tang Xin: "Tang Zong, please respect yourself."

As he spoke, he retreated a few more steps to the side, trying his best to keep a safe distance from the other party.

The expression on Tang Xin's face stiffened slightly, but then she said to him as if nothing had happened: "Xu Zong, lead the way."

"What is this kid Xu Tian doing?"

As soon as Xu Tian and Tang Xin went out, a sound of dissatisfaction suddenly rang out in the conference room.

"Since Xu Tian entered the company, he has never independently completed a project. What qualifications does he have to cooperate with Tang Zong?"

"It's not that he hasn't completed a single project."

Xu Rixin spoke up for Xu Tian at the right time: "Wasn't the contract with Anjiang Group signed yesterday because of him?"

"Hmph, Xu Zong, stop protecting him. We all know in our hearts how the contract with Anjiang Group came about, right?"

"That old woman An Rongxuan was impervious to reason before; why did she agree to sign the contract just when Xu Tian went over, and even came personally to support him?"

"Xu Zong, this younger brother of yours is really not simple. We all underestimated him before. First An Rongxuan, now Tang Zong; he really is unscrupulous for the sake of the project!"

Vice President Wu, who had always targeted Xu Tian, complained sarcastically, while slamming the folder in his hand with a slapping sound.

"Our Xu Corporation's style has always been open and aboveboard. If we let Xu Tian act recklessly like this, the employees below will follow suit in the future, seducing clients for the sake of performance, and the company's reputation will plummet. Who will dare to cooperate with us in the future?"

"I will go back and have a good talk with him."

Xu Rixin nodded, and then defended Xu Tian again: "However, I think you must have misunderstood him. Xiao Tian is not that kind of person. As for President An and Tang Zong, they think highly of Xiao Tian; perhaps Xiao Tian has some hidden talent that we haven't discovered."

These words of Xu Rixin seemed to be speaking for Xu Tian, but in reality, they were calmly attracting another wave of hatred for him.

After all, it was common knowledge in the company that Xu Tian was a loser. Now that he had suddenly talked into two big projects of millions as if he had cleared his Ren and Du meridians, everyone felt something was fishy.

"Xu Zong, you are just too kind. If I had such a younger brother, I would definitely break his legs!"

Several older senior management members were rigid and could not tolerate such despicable means as unspoken rules.

Soon, this meeting broke up in discord, and at the same time, Xu Tian was labeled with tags like "unscrupulous climber" and "freeloader."

And the person involved, Xu Tian, had already returned to his office at this moment.

He first let an employee pour a glass of water for Tang Xin, and then asked: "Tang Zong, I shouldn't have known you before. Why do you insist on handing such a big project to me?"

Tang Xin didn't speak, just put down the cup with a smile, then stood up and closed the office door that was originally half-covered and locked it.

Then, she walked slowly to the opposite side of Xu Tian's desk, supported the wide desk with both hands, and leaned forward slightly.

"Xu Tian, do you think my outfit today is beautiful?"

As she spoke, her graceful and symmetrical S-shaped figure and very conspicuous career line completely crashed into Xu Tian's line of sight... ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
