Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 1244 Do You Want To Be An Enemy Or A Friend?

Xia Cheng glared at that person unhappily, but the higher-up did not realize it and said loudly in front of everyone, "Chairman Xia, the designs left behind by Miss Yunqiu have all been circulated. Moreover, the Luo family and the Shen family in the capital are testifying for Miss Yunqiu. Now that public opinion is everywhere online, the company's shares have plummeted. You have to quickly solve this matter, or the company will be doomed!"

The moment that was said, Xia Cheng's head buzzed. His vision darkened, and he almost fainted. He forced himself to calm down and widened his eyes at Luo Qing.

The butler of the Luo family, who was at the side, said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Chairman Xia. Since you refuse to admit it, we can only resort to this. The person we wish to collaborate with is the real designer, not an impostor. If we get the name wrong, how can we face Madam Xia Yunqiu's soul in heaven?"

At this moment, Xia Cheng's phone vibrated crazily. He took out his phone and looked at it. His face was as pale as paper.

So this was the Luo family's power? To them, dealing with the Xia family was as easy as crushing an ant. Just this small lesson caused the entire Xia family to be in turmoil.

Luo Qing's tone was firm as he made his final decision. "Uncle Zheng."

Luo Zheng, the butler, took two steps forward and said with a trace of disdain, "Director Xia, this collaboration won't be canceled, but we won't be working with Mr. Xia Ji. We'll work with Miss Xia Yunqiu.

"It can be said that Miss Xia Yunqiu's designs are perfect. Our patriarch likes them very much. What happened just now was just a small lesson. I hope you can understand our Luo family's intentions. If you're willing to return the designs to Miss Xia Yunqiu, this collaboration will go very smoothly. Our Luo family will also take responsibility for causing a series of losses to the Xia family."

Luo Zheng paused, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp. "But if you're unwilling…"

Of course, Xia Cheng did not want to agree. Xia Ji was his favorite son. He had nurtured him carefully for so many years so that he would be able to successfully become the head of the family in the future. Moreover, Xia Ji's daughter, Xia Mengyan, was also very capable. The father and daughter would definitely bring the Xia family to greater heights.

However, now that something had happened and Xia Ji had been scolded like this, how was he going to be the heir of the Xia family in the future? How could the higher-ups of Xia Corporation agree?

However, if he did not agree…

"Chairman Xia, haven't you thought it through? If the collaboration is canceled, not only will you suffer a huge loss, but the Xia family will also be the Luo family's enemy from now on. Are you sure you want to be enemies with the Luo family?"

Luo Zheng's tone was calm. "If you agree to collaborate, the Xia family and our Luo family will be friends. Whether you want to be enemies or friends, it all depends on your choice."

The higher-ups of Xia Corporation all looked at Xia Cheng and said anxiously, "Chairman Xia, please agree! The company's shares have been plummeting, and the internet is filled with curses. If we become enemies with the Luo family, the Xia family will be completely doomed!"

"Director Xia! They're clearly Miss Yunqiu's designs, so they should have her name on them. She's also your daughter! You can't destroy the entire Xia family for Xia Ji!"

"That's right! Xia Ji is just an illegitimate child, while Miss Yunqiu is the daughter of your first wife. Moreover, Miss Yunqiu and the Luo family are old acquaintances. It's only right to collaborate with the Luo family in her name!"

Xia Cheng originally wanted to use this collaboration to make a name for Xia Ji. After collaborating with the Luo family in his name, the higher-ups of Xia Corporation would definitely agree to let him inherit the company. However, not only did Xia Ji not get the chance to collaborate with the Luo family, but he also offended the Luo family of Xuan Island. It was even harder for him to be the heir.

At this moment, many of the higher-ups' eyes were filled with anxiety. They knew that if the Luo family wanted to destroy Xia Corporation, they just had to move their fingers. Once Xia Corporation fell, the shares in their hands would be worthless. Who would be responsible for their losses? Hence, they all advised Xia Cheng to agree.

Xia Cheng looked at the dozens of calls on his phone and listened to the higher-ups' persuasion. He could only grit his teeth and say word by word, "The real designer… is Yunqiu, not… Xia Ji. He was just muddle-headed. He'll apologize to everyone later."

Xia Ji's vision darkened, and his breathing almost stopped. His heart ached. He was clearly in heaven a moment ago and was flattered by everyone, but all his glory had vanished at this moment. He had fallen into a quagmire and was hated and mocked by everyone. He had once again become an illegitimate child who was despised by everyone. He was even more detestable than before.
