Hao Zhi Ruo quickly set up all the needed things and connected her system to the projector screen.

'Good luck Miss Li. For you, your father's and this company's sake, I hope you went through the slides to familiarize yourself with them.' Hao Zhi Ruo thought to herself as she took some steps back to allow Li Xiu do her thing.

With much elegance and confidence, she got up and proceeded close to the projector screen with a pointer in her hand.

Within a minute, the screen light up and the first slide was displayed.

Mr. Kang leaned back against his seat as his eyes became fixed on the beautiful damsel waiting to blow his mind away.

'Shoot.' Mr. Kang said in his mind and just as though Li Xiu heard, she started her presentation.

"Good day ladies and gentlemen. My name is Li Xiu and I would be presenting the... "

As the presentation started, Mr. Kang had high hopes and expectations and judging from her intro and the first slide, he hoped for much better presentation.

What happened next caused both parties to be left speechless.

The slide which displayed next, showed the topic with Li Jing's name being displayed on it for the second time.

Mr. Kang arched a brow at Li Xiu but said nothing. Rather, brought his hands and joined them together in front of him, forming an arc shape close to his face.

Li Xiu swallowed hard and continued as though nothing had happened.

"Now, moving on to the next slide, we have... "

0_0

She was left speechless by next slide. It showed a picture of Li Jing in the kitchen which was totally abstract of what she was talking about.

Quickly, she apologized and moved on to the next slide. Although the next slide didn't show a picture, rather it showed a topic which was supposed to be at the middle of the presentation.

Li Xiu still managed to compose herself and switched to the next slide. But she met the same thing.

She moved on to five more slides but to her dismay, all with scattered contents.

Li Xiu was already at her peak. Now, She could neither hide her frustration nor her embarrassment.

She saw the slides Li Jing sent. She personally reviewed them and made her redo it just to punish her and this was definitely what she had sent.

So why now what was happening? She felt like a fool right now as she stared at the scattered slides.

Her hands began to tremble and she proceeded to check the others, hoping this was just some silly joke but by the time she got to the 27th slide which was the last, she completely lost it.

Hao Zhi Ruo who was watching the whole scene by the side couldn't help but shake her head at the current situation they were in.

She recalled asking her to review the slides as they had thirty minutes before the presentation but what she get instead?

This was a total failure. She felt as though the ground could open and she just fall right in to escape from the embarrassment her boss brought to herself and her father's company.

Subconsciously, she turned her head to the side only to see Mr. Kang looking at her intently while she just fidgeted from embarrassment.

'We're doomed.' Hao Zhi Ruo mentally cried at their situation.

She began to wonder how exactly Li Xiu graduated from the university.

Personally, she knew her boss was intelligent but her mother literally spoiled her by making Li Jing do everything and ascribing all the credits to her child. It really was a pitiable sight and she wished Ding Jiaying was present to see the mess of a daughter she had raised.

Ahem!

Mr. Kang cleared his throat to attract her attention. Of course he had given her enough time to make a fool of herself and could not bear to watch more.

Why he never made a noise since her flop started was because even though the presentation was a mess or it was scattered, he could pinpoint what it was driving at and waited to see how it would end.

At the sound of his voice, Li Xiu quickly turned around to look at him.

"I apologize for the set back of this presentation."

Before Li Xiu could finished what she wanted to say, Mr. Kang interrupted her. "Set back?"

"I am sorry about that sir." Li Xiu apologized again.

"No, no, no. Not set back. Please don't use that term. This is quite the failure of a presentation that you clearly had time to prepare for."

"Sir," Li Xiu tried to defend herself but Mr. Kanga raised his hand to stop her from speaking.

"Okay, I can let the slide incident pass."

"Thank you sir, because you see, this was not the actual slide. I think there was a mistake somewhere about the right slide."

"Still not an excuse Miss Li." He relaxed his back but as soon as his body touched the leather seat he sat back up and straightened himself.

"I presume this meeting means a lot to your company?"

"It does."

"Good. If so, why did you not take it serious? All what you said are excuses. Okay, I will give you time to either get the right slide and present but if you cannot do that, you can very well just present them off hand. I expect you know them by heart already?"

"Umm sure. Thank you for this chance."

As much as she tried to hide it, Mr. Kang could clearly see she was shaking and definitely not as prepared as what she tried to portray.

'It would really be a waste of beauty and talent if she fail this time. I expected much from her, perhaps that is why I am feeling this much disappointment.' Mr. Kang thought to himself.
