Chapter 261: A smile is enough to take you down

Wang Miaomiao had not expected that Nian Xiaomu would step in so coincidentally at this time.

Seeing the contract that Nian Xiaomu was holding in her hands, Wang Miaomiao’s eyes narrowed.

Then, she let out a laugh.

Mr. Lombardi had made it clear that he would not work together with them. So what if she were to bring a contract here?

Let alone mentioning that Lombardi would not sign this contract, he would not even appear in the office!

With this thought, Wang Miaomiao felt reassured and turned to sneer at Nian Xiaomu.

“It’s good that you’re here or else our other colleagues might misunderstand and think that I’m talking behind your back. I’d rather explain the matter clearly in front of everyone.”

Wang Miaomiao walked forward with her arms crossed and faced Nian Xiaomu.

“Supervisor Nian, you need to explain properly how you infuriated Mr. Lombardi because you were late to receive him at the airport. Also, why did you lead the entire team to the hotel and make them wait outside, but check into a room on your own just to sleep and eat afterward? It’s apparent that you do not give two hoots about the project.”

“…”

“I am not falsely accusing you, right? I remember that I tried to get you to look for Mr. Lombardi. Yet, you were hardly concerned. You are the culprit behind the project being called off!”

“…”

“In my opinion, a person like you does not have the right to stay in the public relations department!” Wang Miaomiao did not give Nian Xiaomu a chance to respond and directly put all the blame on her.

In her eyes, it was certain that the project had failed and that Nian Xiaomu would be fired.

Anyone who would still side with Nian Xiaomu at this time would be a fool!

“What do you have to say, Nian Xiaomu?” Wang Miaomiao walked over to her and snickered.

At first, she thought that Nian Xiaomu would look worried and afraid or that she might be anxious to explain herself.

However, from the start to the end, there was no change in Nian Xiaomu’s expression…

No, there was a change.

She was smiling.

The corners of her lips had curled upward. It was not an obvious smile, but a look of sarcasm.

Wang Miaomiao fell into a shock.

Then, she watched Nian Xiaomu step past her and walk toward Wen Yadai.

“Manager Wen, I have a question. How would you handle a case of an interpreter making up stories about a project before it is completed and severely affecting the team morale?”

“…” Wen Yadai narrowed her eyes and did not answer immediately.

Under Yu Yuehan’s leadership, the Yu Corporation placed great emphasis on team spirit.

A person’s character was more important than his or her competence.

If anyone were to start rumors and stir up trouble to affect the team morale, that would warrant a dismissal!

“What do you mean by that, Nian Xiaomu?”

Wen Yadai did not say anything. Instead, it was Wang Miaomiao who could not contain herself.

“I heard it with my own ears when Mr. Lombardi declined to work with us. He even told you not to harass him anymore. Am I starting rumors? It’s more like you are telling a big lie to fool everyone!”

Seeing that Nian Xiaomu did not bother with her, Wang Miaomiao charged to the front.

“Since you say that I am making up stories, then fine, do you dare to tell everyone the result of the project?”

“…”

“If you can convince Mr. Lombardi to agree to the collaboration, then I will admit that I was making up stories about you. Manager Wen does not have to take any action. I will pack up and leave…”

Before Wang Miaomiao could finish what she wanted to say, Nian Xiaomu broke into a smile.

This relaxed and confident smile sent a chill down Wang Miaomiao’s spine.

Somehow, Wang Miaomiao could sense an impending doom approaching herself.

However, she had seen it with her own eyes that Lombardi had lost his temper and left in a huff.

She had been confident that the project had fallen through. This was why she had returned to the company to expose Nian Xiaomu.

But now…

Before Wang Miaomiao could figure out what might have gone wrong, she saw the secretary answer a phone call and run over to Wen Yadai.

“Manager Wen, Mr. Lombardi has arrived at our company!”
