Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 202 - Money and power are not needed to be confident.

Ms Lin got all agitated when she heard Li Xue's words. Though she has heard from Ning Meiling about her being all sharp and arrogant with her words, she could not believe it. She just can believe that a mere dessert chef with no strong family backing or experience will ever dare to be so arrogant.

But no one can blame her for that too. In her life, she has never got an opportunity to meet Li Xue too. If she had been given an opportunity, then she would have known that money and power have never been the qualifications that a person needed to be confident in themselves. Confidence was something that you needed to realize in yourself from within, not over such materialistic things.

"Chef Li, what do you mean? Are you telling me to follow your time schedule and wait until next quarter to see the reports? When did the world start to work like that? As far as I know, employees at lower position need to follow and wait for the orders of their higher-ups, not the other way round"

Ms Lin said, showing her arrogance to the woman, trying to dominate her but there is no way Li Xue was seeming to get intimidated. She has much better ways to come out stronger. Putting on a confident smile on her lips, she said maintaining the soft politeness in her words.

"How can I dare to say something like that Ms Lin. Following my schedule will be a little too much for you. Our work fields are different and furthermore, you are my superior. It should be me, taking good motivation and learning from you. Though that can go the other way round too, still I can dare to propose such an idea to you. It will be good enough if you could follow your own schedule properly. That will not only save your efforts and time but also the time of the people, with whom you have your appointments fixed"

Her words were neither any over-exaggeration nor any less. More like, it was hitting the point that made Ms Lin go tongue-tied at her own words and thoughts.

"You … it's still the same. You are still saying that I have to wait for another quarter to see the report. Aren't you asking for me to follow your schedule with that? I never thought that a young chef like you would be so arrogant to defy the process in which Feng Internationals work. Lacking the patience to an extent where you won't care to show your brazenness to your superiors" She said, still trying her best to win the game over.

"Sorry if I sounded impolite, Ms Lin. I never had any such intentions. But I am confident to say that I never asked you to wait to see this quarter report in another quarter. I just said that we can meet again in next quarter, as I have already submitted this quarter report and it's already been verified. I can't re-submit the same report right?"

Li Xue said. Her composure never leaves her elegance and calmness. Something that fueled Ms Lin's temper even more. It was fine until no people were looking at them, but as the expressions of Ms Lin started getting ugly, they started to garner the eyes of the people around.

The more the people looked at Ms Lin, the more they thought some heated conversation was going on. But the moment their eyes turned to look at the beautiful woman standing with her, the sober and polite smile on her face completely denied their thoughts.

"You … you really have got your tongue to talk big!" Ms Lin's temper has already flared at Li Xue's words. Say it because of her guilt or for being caught red-handed but she was just not able to compose herself back in her calm composure with which she has begun the show.

But the second she finished, the meaning behind Li Xue's words struck her hard like an electric current. To say that she was confused will be an understatement. She was more stunned at her words. "What did you say? You submitted it?"

The report has already been submitted!

When and to whom?

Ms Lin felt something missing in the context, not understanding if the things were just looking wrong to her or it has been truly wrong all this time. The shine of confidence which Li Xue was holding was just giving some cruel vibe to her. Like some destruction was waiting for her at the corner.

"I have not taken your report yet, then on whose instructions have you submitted it", she yelled, not caring about how loud she was!

"Ahh … sorry Ms Lin, but since you have been busy all along and I have nearly waited for one whole hour even after being on time, I did not waste my time and took help from Director Qi before. You know time is the most precious thing. He has been very helpful. He …" before she could even complete her words, Ms Lin interjected anxiously.

"Did you submit the report to Director Qi, putting a complaint under my name?" Her complexion got paler all of a sudden, which Li Xue was enjoying thoroughly. Torturing evil has always been a full packed entertainment to her.

Shaking her head innocently at her question, denying it, she said, "No, Ms Lin I did not complain anything about you. I just stated what exactly has happened here. There is no way I could complain about my superior. And also I did not submit the report to him. He said he has no idea about these things as it has always been you handling them all these years".

Ms Lin sighed in relief as she heard her and also a feeling of smugness surged into her when heard what Director Qi Shuai has said about her handling the things for all these years. It felt like some appreciation which she has received from him. Taking a deep breath in, she asked again with some pride hidden in her tone, "Yes I am the best to handle all this. That's my work. Then who did you submit the report to?"

Pulling her smile, a little more, Li Xue finally gave a last blow to the topic. "To President Feng itself. He was found to be the most suitable one in this case and Director Qi took me directly to them, saying that he will be the best one to handle it after you. So I reported directly to him!"

"…" at once Ms Lin felt her whole world revolving at her words. Did she really hear her say, President Feng? Did she submit it to him?
