Chapter 282: The Queen

Tang Xi looked up at Qiao Liang and smiled. “Was Long Xiao Group founded by you?”

Qiao Liang paused and it had been quite a while before he reached out to rub her hair. He gave a helpless smile. “Why did you ask me this?” He had thought this girl would ask something hard to answer, but she asked this simple question. This question troubled many countries’ governments, including Country M’s government that took the matter very seriously.

Tang Xi smiled and looked at Qiao Liang, “Yes or No?”

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows. “Yes.” He admitted he was the founder of Long Xiao.

Tang Xi widened her eyes as she suddenly thought about how Xiao Yao had said he was going abroad to investigate an organization. She looked at Qiao Liang. “Do you know what Yao went abroad for this time?”

Qiao Liang laughed and tapped her on the forehead. “I know Xiao Yao is able, but it’s impossible for him to find out my relationship with Long Xiao. Very few people know my identity in Long Xiao. No one will know it expect Long Xiao’s senior management.”

Tang Xi pursed her lips and looked at Qiao Liang. “Don’t be so confident. You know what my brother is capable of. His ability can be scary sometimes.”

Qiao Liang smiled and led Tang Xi out of the office as he said, “I have a gift for you.”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and followed him downstairs. The offices on floor two had been decorated. There were over a dozen people standing in the hallway. Tang Xi cast a questioning glance at Qiao Liang. He smiled at her and signaled her to take a look. “Go and have a look.”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “Don’t you want to go with me?”

Qiao Liang gazed deeply at Tang Xi and raised his eyebrows. “I will if you want me to.”

“Then you stay and wait for me here, the man behind a successful woman.” Tang Xi tiptoed and kissed him on the face before she went downstairs. When she walked into the hallway, the people looked at her in surprise. It was the first time they saw Tang Xi except Li Manyan and Jin Han. They had seen a lot of female stars but none of them were as beautiful as this girl.

Little Six was telling them about the situation of the company. When he saw Tang Xi come over, he explained to the employees, “This is President Xiao of our company. You can communicate with her about designs, and if you have any problems with anything else, you can contact me and I’ll pass on your questions to President Xiao.”

Tang Xi was very glad to be called President Xiao. She took a look at Little Six and nodded at the employees, when Li Manyan suddenly shouted, “Hello, President Xiao.”

Jin Han who was standing beside her looked helplessly at her. Tang Xi secretly smiled, looked at the crowd and raised her eyebrows. “I think you can introduce yourselves.”

Tang Xi didn’t realize until the employees finished introducing themselves that Qiao Liang had considered everything for her. Although there were only over a dozen employees here, it was quite enough for a start-up. Best things come in small packages. Now her company, The Queen, had formally started operating.

Tang Xi smiled and looked back at her office. With Qiao Liang by her side, everything was so easy for her. She experienced a happiness from this small company that she had never felt when she was running the Empire Group before.

“I’m the legal representative of the company but the CEO of our company is someone else. He will formally come to work tomorrow, and then I’ll introduce him to you. During today you can get familiar with each other and the environment. We’ll formally start working tomorrow.” Tang Xi paused and continued. “Of course, I’m an easy going person, but I can be very picky about design. I hope you don’t muddle through your work, understand?”

The employees all nodded. Li Manyan glanced at Jin Han with a smile and blinked at him. Jin Han glared at her and she curled her lips and said loudly to Tang Xi with a smile, “Yes, President Xiao. You can rest assured that I will treat every job of mine very, very seriously.”

Li Manyan was a sunny and innocent girl. Upon hearing Tang Xi’s words, the other employees might think Tang Xi was testing them, so they would nod but wouldn’t take the lead to assure her. Now Li Manyan promised so firmly. If she didn’t do her job perfectly in the future, she might be questioned why she didn’t fulfill her promise since she had assured Tang Xi like that.

However, Tang Xi liked girls like Li Manyan, because they were easier to get along with. And she could tell this girl was devoted to her work.

When Li Manyan assured Tang Xi out loud, Jin Han had a helpless gleam in his eyes but still, he couldn’t help feeling warmth in his heart. Tang Xi looked at the two of them. Only girls as simple and pure as Li Manyan could melt the iceberg-like Jin Han.

Tang Xi smiled. “Good. Do you know that the Paris Fashion Week is from mid-October to mid-November?”

The employees immediately looked at her and their eyes were full of curiosity, but nobody answered her. When Li Manyan was about to ask about her intentions behind her question, she heard Jin Han ask Tang Xi, “President Xiao, do you want to attend the Paris Fashion Week?” Then he shook his head. “Our company has just been founded today. It’s impossible for us to join the Fashion Week. It will take at least three years to join the Paris Fashion Week, but it has been less than three days for us. How is it possible for us to join the Paris Fashion Week?”

Tang Xi smiled and raised her eyebrows at Jin Han. “No, my goal is not this fashion week, but the Paris Fashion Week from mid-March to mid-April next year and the Oscars red carpet show. However, we can’t miss this fashion week. Since celebrities will go to watch the shows, they’ll need formal wear. I’ll assign you a task, to design a haute couture wear for the red carpet by the end of this fashion week.”

As soon as she said this, the employees were in an uproar. Tang Xi observed their reactions. some were excited and some felt pressured. Tang Xi smiled. “You can give it up if you think this gives you too much pressure. You can just tell me you quit and then walk out of the company. The Queen’s style is daring, avant-garde and inspiring. We don’t need cowards.”
