The ruthless slap hit her straight on the face, and this caused Xia Ruya’s cheeks to go numb and lose all feeling. She looked at Wen Xinya, stunned and unable to respond momentarily.
At the moment, Xia Ruya felt monstrously angry, and the demon in her made her even angrier. She was about to lose all rationality and break out in a complete rage.
How did Wen Xinya, this scum, dare to hit her in public?
What rights did Wen Xinya have to hit her?
However, she had to accept her defeat today. Although Wen Xinya could ignore everyone and hit her, she could not retaliate. If this became a major scandal, she would be the one who lost face.
Just you wait, Wen Xinya. One day, I will make you suffer a terrible death.
The burning pain from the slap made her wake up from her intense anger. “Wen Xinya, don’t go overboard.”
She held her burning cheeks, the pain making her feel doubly embarrassed. This was not the first time that Wen Xinya had slapped her. Yet, it was just like the previous time, where Wen Xinya hit her so righteously that it was as if she deserved to be slapped.
If she could, she would kill Wen Xinya on the spot.
Wen Xinya looked at the haggard Xia Ruya coldly. “This is how you smack someone in the face, for real. You don’t have the courage to smack others in the face, so why are you trying to do it? Don’t aim too high, or you will only become a joke.”
So what if she hit her? Xia Ruya had caused trouble at the Wen Corporation’s press release, anyway.
To come uninvited would mean that they did not need to treat her politely.
If anyone’s not happy, hit first before talking!
Under such circumstances, the more righteous you feel, the more reasonable you think it to be, and the less guilty you feel.
To step back in such a situation would make others feel as if you were easy to bully and that you were guilty.
Xia Ruya’s eyes reddened. Looking wronged, she stubbornly looked at Wen Xinya, hating her from the bottom of her heart. “Wen Xinya, I’m not as arrogant as you are, as I have been educated in the upper-class society since young, and so won’t have your kind of princess syndrome. Don’t think that just because you’re so righteous about this that you can let this entire situation go.”
One day, she must expose how calculative and pretentious Wen Xinya was.
Everyone would see clearly what kind of person she was then.
Wen Xinya said, “I didn’t plan to let this entire situation go just like that. I’m telling you right now, what’s the highest standards of smacking another’s face?”
Just now, she was just teaching Xia Ruya how to smack someone in the face, and this was the true highlight.
Since Xia Ruya was here to embarrass herself, then what was wrong with granting her wish?
Xia Ruya looked at her and felt the sharp gazes from every corner, as well as their pinpointing. She imagined that Wen Xinya stood straight and confident, while her body began to shake like a boat in the sea, moving along with the waves.
“Anybody with a brain would know that Lu Bingxin’s issue has some problem with it, so I couldn’t wait but to release this new clothing line as soon as I could. On one hand, I wanted to take back the clothing market share that belonged to the Wen Corporation in the first place, and on the other hand, I wanted to figure out who the spy in the department was.”
Everyone was surprised at what Wen Xinya said.
Everyone in the design department was shocked, but they all expected it since the Li Corporation could only copy their designs if someone from within leaked it out.
However, for Wen Xinya to express it clearly still stunned everyone around.
“Li Corporation has yet to completely take over the market share that belonged to the Wen Corporation. Hence, to prevent the Wen Corporation from regaining it, Li Corporation would definitely do anything to stop the Wen Corporation from releasing its new clothing line. So, the spy inserted by the Li Corporation would definitely make some moves in the company.
“Afterwards, I then began to watch out for Li Corporation’s moves, and found out that before the release began, a few shops in Harbor City already had new clothings on their racks, and these were Wen Corporation’s unrefined clothing designs.”
Xia Ruya’s face turned extremely pale, and she tried her best to keep her cool. Her weak body seemed as if it could not support itself anymore. “Wen Xinya, don’t talk nonsense. What proof do you have that I inserted a spy in the Wen Corporation? Bring out the evidence if you have it, and we will question the person right here. If not, I will never let you go for slandering the Li Corporation.”
It was impossible, as the nail that she had planted in the Wen Corporation’s design department was inserted deeply.
Wen Xinya could not have detected anything. Hence, she was just trying to scare her. She could not take the bait, or she would really fall into Wen Xinya’s trap.
Wen Xinya ignored Xia Ruya’s excuses, which were bad lies in the first place. “Today, it was indeed the Wen Corporation’s show, and we must thank Miss Xia for fully cooperating. If not, our new clothing line release would not have gone so smoothly.” She stopped, barely smiled, and looked at Xia Ruya. “However, I would like to ask Miss Xia, does your face hurt?”
For her to utterly destroy her after she felt as if she was already victorious was as if she fell to hell right after going to heaven. This was the highest standard of smacking someone in the face.
Xia Ruya could manipulate others, but she could never be as good as her.
Xia Ruya’s face whitened and she retaliated. “Don’t think that your lies can make your pretentious Wen Corporation absolved of all guilt and get out of this situation…”
Her scheme to expose the Wen Corporation was to make them look cunning and pretentious, and to ruin their company name.
However, just a couple of sentences from Wen Xinya about exposing the spy in the company made the Wen Corporation the victim and portrayed the Li Corporation as the despicable one. Although for both companies to insert spies in each others’ companies was a common occurrence in Country Z, everyone did it secretly. For it to be exposed publicly would cause a huge negative impact on the company’s image and reputation.
Right now, her support was already gone. No matter how many excuses Xia Ruya made, she could not redeem herself anymore.
Everyone was more willing to believe Wen Xinya as compared to Xia Ruya.
On one hand, it was because of Wen Xinya’s prestige and reputation in the city.
On the other, was because Wen Corporation publicly proved its competency.
At the same time, what Wen Xinya just said made everyone’s speculations clearer. It was more logical.
Wen Xinya laughed softly. “Don’t worry, Miss Xia. Although the Li Corporation has used despicable business methods to deal with us, seeing that you once had ties to the Wen Corporation, I won’t pursue any legal action. However… Wen Corporation’s press release does not welcome you, so please go!”
Wen Xinya directly repeated whatever Xia Ruya said to her earlier on, and then ordered to chase her out right in front of everybody.
At that moment, Wen Xinya resoundingly slapped the Li Corporation’s as well as Xia Ruya’s faces. This was impressive indeed.
