Chapter 300: The Wrath of the Female CEO
Just like that little white flower in the sales department.
For the sake of that little white flower, Su Chen was so angry that he even scolded the vice-president, Qin Keren, without sparing her any face.
Originally, Lin Xi hadn't paid much attention to Su Chen, but upon discovering that he was working at her company, she naturally observed him more.
So, she now knows almost everything about Su Chen's behavior in the sales department.
If he protects a colleague who he is close to like this, what would happen if he found out his wife went to dine with another man... on a date, wouldn't he explode on the spot?
Wait, what am I thinking?
I am not his possession!
Lin Xi suddenly realized that she subconsciously considered herself as belonging to Su Chen.
Damn it, I mustn't think like this.
But, the more she tries to reject this thought, the clearer it becomes.
What should I do?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Other clothing companies don't even get the chance to have a meal with Damon.
Yet, Lin Xi feels like doing this is somewhat unfair to that wretched soul.
The blasted soul, if only he were here!
If Su Chen were with her at the fashion week, she would definitely reject Damon without hesitation right now.
But unfortunately, that guy has long disappeared somewhere.
And here she is, painstakingly considering him while he may be enjoying himself somewhere else!
Thinking about it, Lin Xi felt somewhat wronged.
Why should it be like this?
Seeing the president hesitate and struggle, Tang Qian was almost frantic.
She of course knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
However, Lin Xi eventually shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Damon, I'm a bit tired today. How about I treat you another day?"
Saying she'd treat another day, Lin Xi actually plans to leave France tomorrow.
Since she won't be around, Damon couldn't possibly pursue her to Huaxia to make her treat him, right?
Everyone could tell that Lin Xi was tactfully declining Damon.
Many were wide-eyed.
Are you kidding?
She refused?
This is Damon.
And Damon is not just young, handsome, and wealthy.
He also has wide connections and is a sponsor of the fashion week. Getting to know him could be a huge benefit for Yimena.
Seeing Damon taking the initiative to invite Lin Xi to dinner, other clothing companies were simply green with envy.
And yet, Lin Xi refused.
Is this woman out of her mind?
Does she think winning a silver award is so great?
To know, Damon is one of the sponsors of the fashion week; he could essentially disqualify Yimena from winning just by word of mouth.
Even if Yimena's work is perfect.
That's the power of a major figure.
For ordinary people, this place could change their destiny.
For them, it's simply a playground.
A single word can send you to Heaven.
A single word can also cast you down to Hell.
Clearly, Lin Xi's decision was very irrational.
Because refusing Damon not only loses a great opportunity but might also invite Damon's displeasure.
Perhaps he will appear gentlemanly on the surface.
But it only takes a few maneuvers behind the scenes.
Yimena might not even qualify to participate in Paris Fashion Week again in the future.
Damon was also slightly taken aback, seemingly a bit slow to react.
Someone actually refused him!
Damon was quite a gentleman, at least, in the eyes of the public, he was very gentlemanly.
But, the people around him might not be.
Especially those who crave his favor but don't get it, seeing Lin Xi not even giving Damon face, they instantly felt indignant.
"Hey, little CEO, do you know who's standing in front of you? The sponsor of Paris Fashion Week, the heir to Jilafa Consortium, Mr. Damon!"
"Being favored by Mr. Damon is your good fortune, why don't you hurry up and agree? If you anger Mr. Damon, beware that your fashion company might be internationally blacklisted!"
"..."
Some people even began to scold Lin Xi directly.
Lin Xi was extremely frustrated.
She admitted, Damon was outstanding, but did she have to accept his invitation?
If he invited her to do something else, would she have to agree too?
That's not reasonable!
Actually, if any other woman dared to refuse him, Damon would probably just turn around and leave, then use some of his influence to make sure she could never recover.
But he was truly fascinated by this woman who possessed both beauty and intelligence.
So, he still somewhat reluctantly said, "How about tomorrow, what about tomorrow?"
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Damon, I have important things to do tomorrow," Lin Xi said with neither servility nor overbearing.
Important things?
More important than having dinner with Damon?
This woman must be insane.
It's said that Huaxian women like to play hard to get.
Just wait, originally getting a silver award, maybe the company could have developed well, and even possibly opened up international markets.
Now?
Probably forever confined within the country.
"Thinking you're above everyone else just because you got a silver award? Mr. Damon just needs to say a word, and he can revoke your award qualification!"
"Really ungrateful!"
"Mr. Damon, if she doesn't dine with you, I will, look, I'm not any less attractive than her, and have a better figure, most importantly, I am very obedient..."
The crowd of onlookers grew larger.
They all thought Lin Xi must have the courage of a bear and a leopard.
Even if you really want to refuse, why do it in front of so many people?
The more gentlemanly a person is, the more they value face.
Lin Xi, in front of so many people, refusing Damon twice, really shows some lack of self-awareness.
Being scolded publicly like this, Lin Xi also felt some anger.
Even if she lacks self-awareness and doesn't know her own limits, is there a necessity for others to gossip?
Just because he's Damon, should she just obediently listen to him?
Lin Xi hated this feeling.
Hated the feeling of being crushed by power.
Because, it was completely like the manner of that family akin to vampires.
I'm doing this for your good, if I tell you to do something, you must do it.
Who I tell you to marry, you must marry.
"How I act, do I need you to teach me? If you like Damon, if you want to have dinner with him, even accompany him... then go ahead, I'm not interested!" Powerful CEO, she immediately lost her temper and roared at those flattering Damon and mocking her.
As soon as Lin Xi spoke, Tang Qian's eyes widened like two black little lanterns.
Oh my, the CEO is so cool.
Actually saying she's not interested in Damon.
Oh CEO, if you're not interested, I am...
For Tang Qian, Damon was like a male god.
Even Tang Qian felt that if Damon was really together with Lin Xi, they would be quite well-matched.
