My Clever Wife Is Sweet

Coming inside the conference room, Su Xi found everyone's eyes on her. They were just waiting for her to make her appearance because they all just failed in managing such a large business.

"Good after, ladies and gentleman. I, Su Xi, welcome you all to one of the board's meetings." She formally welcomes everyone here but they did not look much pleased by her appearance.

Just when she finished, she could hear whispers of the people around her. They weren't sure if she would provide them the profit or not.

Or more than that, they were just simply manipulated by her father to believe that she isn't a good businesswoman like her father but Su Xi liked to crush their male ego as always.

'I will break these bubbles of yours very soon everyone.' She had this confidence inside her because this business is her root.

If someone else, except her father, can relate to it is, either Su Xi or Ye Huo. But their stereotype thinking needs to come to the end now!

Clearing her throat, Su Xi spoke, "I hope every one of you is interested in the profit of the company. Because the profit of the company means that you will get your amount too." Her talks were interrupted by one of the shareholders who looked more interested in making her angry though.

"We all want the maximization of Profit Ms. Su. But to be very honest with you here, I don't trust your capabilities at all. You have done wonderful till now, but can you manage a big position like of a chairman?" His words gained support from other shareholders too.

They all totally agreed with him, and just wanted to over throw her from this company!

But then, a frown came on Su Xi's face. Although her calmness did not shift at all, the way he addressed and pointed out her capabilities were somewhat that wasn't digestible to her.

Another shareholder added, "You see, the word 'chairman' means that a man handles that position but you are a woman. You should rather leave this place for your brother or for any of us. Instead, just get profit each month and take care of your children, instead of handling this large business and company!

SILENCE!

SILENCE!

Those harsh words were very clear. Her capabilities were judged. On top of that, just because she is a lady, they don't want her to handle such a tough position? Was this any type of joke?

Her blood boiled when such a statement was passed against her. But more than that, she remembers her mother who faced the same discrimination in her life as always, because she was a lady!

But Su Xi simply opened her laptop and asked Secretary Wan to bring one of the files. He nodded and fastly brought that file to her.

All the shareholders were surprised by her actions and calmness. She wasn't revolting at all, instead ignoring was the right word.

"Ms. S-"

"Keep your patience. Let me show you all something and then, you all can speak whatever you want." Su Xi cut off others before they could have spoken something against her.

They all. kept their mouths shut and waited for her to show them whatever she wanted to.

A screen flashed on the projector as the light inside the conference room dimmed slowly. Only the screen was flashing on their faces as they read the data which was shown.

And here, Su Xi starts speaking, "You all were doubting my capabilities as a lady. But let me show you how I do my things.

The last three assignments, which were almost given to the Lin family, were snatched by me and brought to our company.

The second time, when Mr. Boa was ready to give his medicine contract to another international party, and my team worked hard to get that project and compete with international staff, who were much more advanced than us.

But please apprise me about when did my brother bring any shares to the company? Did he bring any projects? Or shall I remind you that he is simply working under my father, following his orders and nothing else!" 

All of the shareholders present in the room felt a drop in the temperature because Su Xi, not oy presented strong proofs to keep her point, but also gave an invisible slap on those people's faces who thought she was weak.

Her face had a serious expression as she looked at each one's face, some had their face down and some were trying to find any loophole in her work.

'They don't agree with me now also. Hah, such as losers! Their pride is so big that they can't see a lady above them!' Su Xi found it ridiculous on their behalf.

When she saw that no one was speaking, she continued to speak more, "If I wanted, I did not have to give you a proof of that to prove myself, especially in front of you all.

I have that power to carry out my things and take decisions, without your concern. Instead, I showed you all this, to show my respect as you are elders of me " She made it clear that this was simply done to stop their doubts.

Because in a business, you can't function at all, if you take tension of each person and listen to their worries. But as a senior, she respected them and showed her capabilities otherwise, she is no one to please them at all!

"This doesn't mean that you aren't a lady. Can a woman handle so much pressure? You have a home too, children to take care of. How can you handle everything? We can't risk our money."

"You are absolutely right in your place. But you all have a mother, wife, daughters. Can you explain to me why you all are here?

Because a lady gave birth to you all. That's the main reason, a woman is strong enough, mentally, and emotionally at least, that she can handle her work and home together with a balance.

In the future, if your daughter wants to work, will you stop her from doing it because she is a girl? That would be rude of you and this will show a bias towards your daughters!!"

Su Xi didn't hide anything. Her words might make others feel that she is wrong, but giving them one explanation was the least she could do.

Making up their minds is in their own hands, and she can't interfere in it. Other shareholders might make all the prejudice against her, but it won't affect her working in the business.

"At last, I Have said what I wanted to. Rest, you all are mature enough to see where you are getting the benefit. All I want from your side is just trust or at least cooperate with me." Saying this, Su Xi shut her laptop.

Other board members had no other option but to discuss further, about the main topic about the meeting and that was the profit in the last month. They all were just discussing it like regular times.

One thing that did not miss from Su Xi's eyes was, all those members who seemed reluctant at first were now actively helping and participating in the member's discussion. 

'All they want is money.' Su Xi knew this from the very start and that's why she did not pester them anymore.

But while the meeting was at the end of getting over, Secretary Wan. who got a call just a few minutes ago, came inside and was worried about his face.

Su Xi eyed him and looked at his facial expressions, 'Why is he looking so stressed? With whom did he talk?' she can't help but wonder about this.

He came near her and whispered something in her ear which made Su Xi's body stiff. But no change came in her expression, as she kept her calm composure on.

Looking at the others, she suddenly spoke, "I have some urgent work. As most of the matters are already discussed, we shall continue other next time." Sayin this, Su Xi left the conference room in a hurry, walking back to her cabin.

There, Su Xi looked for the remote, and of the LED here and there. Her hands were shaking as those words of Secretary Wan were screaming in her mind.

Her actions were quite careless but it didn't matter at that point because she was more interested to see what news channels are showing against her!

Just when she found it, Su Xi clicked on a button and switched to a news channel.

BREAKING NEWS!

'SU SING ARRESTED FOR CARRYING DRUGS!'

'SU FAMILY ONCE AGAIN IN HEADLINES! Their son was caught with drugs!'

'Su Xi's brother, doing drugs! In police custody!'
