Xia Corporation, which had been bought by Louis Financial Group, faced some turbulence due to Lie Feng's prominent attempt to get involved.
As Xia Corporation's parent company, Louis Financial Group used to be unendingly powerful. Unfortunately, it had attracted some trouble lately and had no choice but to hand over a part of its stakes to Lie Feng for expediency.
Louis Financial Group might be able to have some say in the stakes, but the right to manage them had been taken away.
No one could believe that Xia Zhiya, who had been fired and abandoned like a lost dog, had returned to the corporation haughtily.
Apart from that, she also became the president!
People who had not seen her in a while noticed that her outfits looked even more luxurious than before. The precious stones she wore were all custom-made by Li Feng Jewelry.
The woman who held the trump card swept her gaze across her staff arrogantly. A vicious and calculating glint lingered in her eyes.
Everyone knew that this woman would not miss the chance to take revenge upon everyone who had wronged her in the past now that she was back.
Xia Corporation should know no peace from then on.
The first victim was obviously going to be her most hated person - Xia Zhiwan.
Xia Zhiya pretended to do what she thought a leader would do by flipping through a few pages of a report. Then, she flung it right on Xia Zhiwan's face, leaving a faint red mark on her face in its wake.
"Xia Zhiwan, you are indeed useless. Your results are average at best. You've made no significant achievement. How do you have the guts to keep your position as the general manager?"
Xia Zhiwan gave a small retort in the face of her menacing and biting words.
"I was appointed by the chairman himself. If you have any issues, please go and take it up with him."
A thread of fear emerged in Xia Zhiya's heart at the thought of that handsome but indifferent man. The mention of his name startled her as if someone had stepped on her tail.
This b*tch was trying to suppress her authority with Board Member Issac?
"The general manager position in the Xia family can only be taken over by an heir with awakened abilities. I have an ability, and you don't! How can a b*stard like you occupy this position?"
Xia Zhiwan took a deep breath and blocked Xia Zhiya's hand that was about to hit her.
Her bottom line was her mother. Xia Zhiya could hurl insults at her all she wanted, but she could not say that she was a b*stard!
It was such a shame that she could not just showcase her dual superpowers right then and there to humiliate her.
How on earth could Xia Zhiya's ability to analyze a few crystals be called a superpower?!
Anyway, the day would come. She would let Xia Zhiya understand how embarrassing she was!
"Oh, how dare you stop me?"
Xi Zhiya saw that she had the guts to block her slap, pointed at a few people around, and gave her orders.
"You guys. Hold her hands. Don't let her move!"
Those colleagues stared at one another for a moment. Nobody moved.
Xia Zhiwan treated her staff kindly, and Xia Zhiya was so conceited that she wanted to "lynch" someone in public. It was obvious she was not liked by any of them.
"How protective of you! You guys - get out of my sight! I'll fire you right now!"
Their expressions changed when their livelihoods were threatened. They each silently took hold of one of Xia Zhiwan's hands so that she could not move. She was a sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Xia Zhiya grinned with satisfaction when she finally saw fear in Xia Zhiwan's expression.
Amidst her vicious laughter, Xia Zhiya slapped her again and again. It was as if she wanted to let out all her anger on Xia Zhiwan.
"B*tch! Why do you always get better things?" And then there was me! Who had to sell her own body, to be played like a toy, and to use sex as a way to get what she wanted!
"I'm my father's daughter! A b*stard like you have no right to live in our house!" She stood by the idea that she was the real daughter of the Xia family because she had awakened her ability.
After about ten scathing slaps, Xia Zhiwan had gone from feeling a sharp pain on her cheek to nothing. Her skin had already gone numb.
Her cheek was swollen, and her lips were cracked. Fresh blood dripped out of the wound. She looked especially rumpled with her hair all over her face.
This felt much more violent and embarrassing than when it had happened at home.
Xia Zhiya was beginning to revel in the pleasure of sadistic torture. She could not wait to destroy that beautiful and delicate face! It would be best if she could not use her good looks to attract men's attention anymore!
The company resembled a blood bath. The air was stifled with hatred, but no one dared to stop the insane new female president.
"Enough!"
An old man's voice boomed. Xia Dengfeng barged into the room and saw that exact scene. He immediately tried to stop it and touched Xia Zhiwan's bleeding cheek.
Politics aside, Xia Zhiwan was still his biological daughter. If she had done something wrong, he could have punished her at home and get it over with. How could she be slapped so violently in public? That was so humiliating!
Xia Zhiya moved her hand back and forth to shake off the numbness and looked at him coldly.
She need not consider her father's feelings now. Her mask had been ripped away completely. She had not one ounce of respect for Xia Dengfeng.
"Father, I'm now the president of the Xia family. You should retire soon. Don't meddle in my affairs!"
