Bai Xue was furious at this point and declared, “Ask me to go find Tang Xiaohong? Who does she think she is? Have her come here immediately to meet with me. I want to see how influential the person she arranged is.”
Wang Wei frowned as he looked at Bai Xue. No matter what, he was the Vice President of the company. Bai Xue’s tone made it sound like she was giving orders to him.
Wang Wei’s thoughts turned cold. If she was already this arrogant before marrying into the Li family, what would she be like in the future?
He used to think that Bai Xue was two-faced, but now, it was clear that she was also malicious and arrogant.
Wang Wei didn’t want to argue with her. He picked up the internal office phone and put it on speaker.
After the call was connected, Wang Wei said, “Tang Xiaohong, bring over the list of artists going to the Chen Group. Miss Bai would like to take a look.”
Tang Xiaohong heard Wang Wei’s request and felt a headache coming on.
Liu Yanyan also overheard the conversation and felt uncomfortable. She carefully said, “Did I offend Miss Bai this time?”
Tang Xiaohong remained silent for a moment and then responded sternly, “1 assigned you to the audition with the Chen Group, so Bai Xue will find out sooner or later when you turn up there. If anyone offends her, it will be both of us. Come, let’s go to the Vice President’s office.”
“Sister Tang, she won’t cause any trouble for us, right?” Liu Yanyan asked.
She was genuinely worried about being replaced.
Tang Xiaohong was taken aback for a moment and then said, “I’ll do my best to protect you. It depends on how the Vice President reacts.”
Liu Yanyan nodded and followed Tang Xiaohong to the Vice President’s office.
Ten minutes later, Tang Xiaohong arrived at the Vice President’s office with Liu Yanyan.
Bai Xue noticed Tang Xiaohong coming with Liu Yanyan and became alert.
She realized that Liu Yanyan was a prominent artist in the company even before Bai Xue had arrived. Liu Yanyan was genuinely talented and well-reputed in the entertainment industry. Even though the company was currently promoting Bai Xue, there were still valuable resources allocated to Liu Yanyan.
“Sister Tang, for the Chen Group’s spokesperson role, whom did you intend to send?” Bai Xue asked directly.
Tang Xiaohong replied with a smile, “Bai Xue, you don’t need to worry about this. I’ve already arranged for Yanyan to go, and she’s highly capable.”
Bai Xue sneered and said, “Sister Tang, why aren’t you sending me instead? You should replace her with me immediately.”
Liu Yanyan almost exploded in anger when she heard this. Did Bai Xue consider her invisible?
Tang Xiaohong’s expression also turned sour. She squeezed out a smile and said, “Bai Xue, you haven’t been feeling well recently, and I thought it would be best for you to rest. That’s why I chose Yanyan. Her skills are outstanding, and it’s the company’s decision as well.”
“Sister Tang, have you forgotten? Li Yan said that the company should prioritize me when it comes to delegating projects.”
Tang Xiaohong’s complexion worsened further. Bai Xue was deliberately using Li Yan’s name to her advantage.
Tang Xiaohong stated, “Mr. Li did say that, but considering your recent health, we thought it would be better for you to recover. If Yanyan succeeds, it’ll be good for us.”
Bai Xue sarcastically responded, “What if she gets eliminated? That would mean we picked the wrong person and lost such a precious opportunity. What benefit would that bring us?”
Wang Wei interjected, “Bai Xue, Mr. Li did say that you have the priority to choose. However, Liu Yanyan has more experience and better capabilities. If she’s not suitable, it could also mean that the Chen Group doesn’t want to work with us.”
Bai Xue heard Wang Wei’s words and said sarcastically, “Vice President Wang, are you openly trying to undermine me? No matter what, I must be the one to go. Li Yan said that I have the priority to choose within the company.”
Tang Xiaohong was disgusted by Bai Xue’s aggressive demeanor and asked, “Bai Xue, you have plenty of opportunities. Why must you take this one now?”
“Sister Tang, there aren’t many opportunities to work with the Chen Group,” Bai Xue said coldly.
The main reason she insisted on going was because Jiang Ling’er was going. If the company didn’t let her go, she’d be the subject of ridicule.
Wang Wei calmly inquired, “How confident are you, Bai Xue?”
Bai Xue glanced at Liu Yanyan, noting that she was the kind of woman who could easily make others jealous. Nevertheless, it didn’t matter how attractive she was if no one was backing her.
“I don’t dare to say anything else, but 1 believe I’m still slightly better than Liu Yanyan.”
Liu Yanyan couldn’t help but speak up, “Miss Bai, we are both part of the company. Shouldn’t we follow the company’s decisions? Even if we were to compare, 1 don’t think you’re a better fit than me.”
Bai Xue looked down on Liu Yanyan and retorted, “What qualifications do you have to represent the company? Do you have any significant works to your name?”
