Chapter 596: Secret Deal
Shi Jia was a bit angry when she saw the other party’s resolute attitude. She pouted, thinking she was only trying to help. Why was he losing his temper with her? If this framework were dismantled, who knew how much time it would waste? This person was really stubborn. If Lin Kai were here, he would definitely support her ideas wholeheartedly; she guessed it would have been approved by now.
She also regretted not just following Linn and Mr. Lin when she had hesitated earlier. That moment’s hesitation had cost her the chance and offended two people. Zhang Tao’s attitude toward her just now must have been because she had initially spoken up for Lin Kai. It was utterly ridiculous.
She had thought she was some great character. If it weren’t for them, he couldn’t have created this software space on his own. And now he dared to throw his weight around here. If the software weren’t genuinely useful, she wouldn’t even want to stay.
Unable to hold back, she blurted out, "Look at him, if you didn’t know better, you’d think he single-handedly made the software. Could he have managed it without us? I think we’ve just been giving him too much face. Calling him ’Mr. Zhang’ all the time has made him too arrogant."
If we all left with Mr. Lin now, I’d like to see if he could still smile. If it weren’t for this project being here, I wouldn’t have stayed. Want to start over, huh? Then go ahead, start over. I’d like to see if it can turn out as he expects it to."
It was truly ridiculous how someone would take another’s words as if they were a divine decree. To an outsider, it’d appear he was looking after his own dog." Because she was angry, her words flew out thoughtlessly, one after another. When she finished, she realized what she had said and quickly covered her mouth.
Oh my God, she had actually spoken like that in public, and in his presence no less. What if she had been overheard? Was she going to get fired or sidelined? No way, why was she so unlucky? She looked around quickly and, seeing he wasn’t there, breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked at her colleagues.
To her shock, they were all staring, seemingly unable to believe that such a well-behaved woman could speak like that in private. Shi Jia didn’t know how to handle it. Previously, Mr. Lin would have helped cover for her, reminding her to not speak recklessly.
Now without Mr. Lin’s reminders, she found it hard to control her own outspoken nature. Her personality was such that she sometimes couldn’t help but blurt out the unvarnished truth, like these complaints that were only supposed to stay in her head but had now come out into the open.
